  • Coinbase’s $70B Bitcoin move made it look like investors were selling — but no one actually did
    CryptoSlate - 17:18 Mar 15, 2026
    Some of Bitcoin’s most trusted bottom signals rest on the simple assumption that when old coins move, something meaningful has changed. Traders and analysts often interpret that as renewed selling, fresh distribution, or signs that the market hasn't bottomed. That logic helped turn HODL Waves, Coin Days Destroyed, and long-term holder supply into some of […] The post Coinbase’s $70B Bitcoin move made it look like investors were selling — but no one actually did appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 16:05 Mar 15, 2026
    Washington has spent years talking about a US CBDC as a distant possibility. It was an abstract policy idea, safely contained inside white papers and partisan messaging. But then the Senate put a number on it and made it very real. On March 2, senators voted 84-6 to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed […] The post Who are the six senators who just opposed a US plan to block a digital dollar through 2030? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Shelter kept cooling, and the overall picture looked manageable for […] The post The latest US inflation report looked like good news — next week may change that appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Washington is getting ready to potentially make life easier for the biggest US banks. That can sound pretty abstract if you don't strip it down to the mechanics. Regulators decide how much capital banks must keep to absorb losses and how much liquidity they need if funding starts to disappear.
