  • The dollar stays king until 2046 crushing Bitcoin dreams with $13 trillion of IMF data
    CryptoSlate - 18:15 Jan 23, 2026
    Bitcoin’s earliest realistic path to becoming the world’s global reserve currency (defined here as reserve-currency primacy rather than limited reserve-asset adoption) sits around the mid-2040s under a scenario model that treats official mandates, collateral usage, and invoicing conventions as binding constraints. That timeline starts from a reserve system where total global foreign-exchange reserves reached $12.94 […] The post The dollar stays king until 2046 crushing Bitcoin dreams with $13 trillion of IMF data appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin regret is coming for anyone ignoring Coinbase CEO’s 5% rule as banks fight to cap gains

    CryptoSlate - 13:55 Jan 23, 2026
    The crypto industry's capital headline for 2025 looks like a comeback story: $50.6 billion across 1,409 transactions, up sharply from 2024's totals. However, the composition tells a different story. According to the annual Crypto Fundraising Report, 43.7% of that capital came from just 21 mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

    I keep thinking about the kind of person who owns a little Bitcoin tucked away for the future, a little gold tucked away for the past.

  • BlackRock backs Ethereum gatekeeping tokenization even though its market share is under threat
    CryptoSlate - 20:15 Jan 22, 2026
    BlackRock’s 2026 Thematic Outlook put Ethereum at the center of its tokenization thesis, asking whether the network could serve as a “toll road.” BlackRock stated that “of tokenized assets 65%+ are on Ethereum.” The framing pushes Ethereum into an infrastructure role rather than a directional call on ETH. A “toll road” model depends on where […] The post BlackRock backs Ethereum gatekeeping tokenization even though its market share is under threat appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • US Treasurys face a $1.7 trillion EU “dump” over Greenland, forcing shift to Bitcoin if dollar safety vanishes
    CryptoSlate - 23:05 Jan 21, 2026
    European leaders facing a Greenland-linked dispute with Washington could treat U.S. Treasurys as a leverage point. That would test not just the headline size of foreign holdings, but the market’s capacity to absorb speed, and how quickly higher yields would filter into the dollar, U.S. credit conditions, and crypto liquidity.
