  • Steak n Shake isn’t just flipping burgers; they’re funneling profits directly into a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
    CryptoSlate - 13:13 Nov 01, 2025
    Steak n Shake just made fast-food and Bitcoin history. On white paper day, the 91-year-old American fast-food chain announced the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), staking its claim (excuse the pun) as the first major U.S. restaurant chain to funnel all BTC payments straight into a corporate Bitcoin treasury. How Steak n Shake […] The post Steak n Shake isn’t just flipping burgers; they’re funneling profits directly into a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • How the Ethereum vs Solana war ended quietly not with a bang but a whimper
    CryptoSlate - 08:00 Nov 01, 2025
    The debate pitting Ethereum versus Solana as rival L1s misses how radically their architectures diverged in 2025. Ethereum evolved into a settlement layer for modular rollups, while Solana doubled down on monolithic throughput. Ethereum abandoned the monolithic-chain race years ago, as its roadmap treats the base layer as settlement infrastructure. At the same time, execution […] The post How the Ethereum vs Solana war ended quietly not with a bang but a whimper appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 00:55 Nov 01, 2025
    Brian Armstrong wrapped Coinbase’s third-quarter earnings call on Oct. 30, with a line that instantly resolved live prediction market contracts on Polymarket and Kalshi.

  • Does Bitcoin Power Law model still work in 2025 after S2F failed?
    CryptoSlate - 23:00 Oct 31, 2025
    With S2F in the rearview, the live power-law channel indicates that BTC is roughly 20% below fair value, but ETF flows could push it to either extreme. Bitbo’s implementation of Giovanni Santostasi’s model places the price near $109,700, the fair value near $136,100, the support near $48,300, and the resistance near $491,800, which frames the current cycle […] The post Does Bitcoin Power Law model still work in 2025 after S2F failed? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Invisible Lightning: Why exchange channels break a favorite Bitcoin metric
    CryptoSlate - 21:00 Oct 31, 2025
    The Bitcoin Lightning Network was once the crown jewel of Bitcoin’s scaling story, a living map of open channels and growing liquidity that reflected adoption in real-time. However, as the network matures, the picture has blurred. Behind the steady decline in public Bitcoin Lightning capacity lies a quiet transformation: exchanges, wallets, and merchants are routing […] The post Invisible Lightning: Why exchange channels break a favorite Bitcoin metric appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Sam Bankman-Fried is again challenging the core narrative of his downfall: that FTX was insolvent when it collapsed in November 2022. In a 15-page report written from prison and dated Sept. 30, the convicted founder claimed the exchange “was never insolvent” but merely trapped in a “liquidity crisis” after customers pulled $5 billion in two […] The post New prison report flouts claim FTX could have repaid customers from $25B in assets appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 16:00 Oct 31, 2025
    Set against recurring billion-dollar ETF inflows, Asia’s mid-caps are starting to look like the next structural bid for bitcoin’s free float. Japan’s Metaplanet has surpassed 30,00 BTC on its balance sheet, and Korea’s Bitplanet initiated a supervised, rules-based accumulation program. What began as isolated treasury experiments, such as Nexon’s 2021 purchase and Meitu’s short-lived holdings, […] The post Can Asia’s mid-caps absorb 30% of new BTC supply? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    On Oct. 20, a hiccup in Amazon’s US-EAST-1 region set off a chain reaction across the crypto industry. Coinbase reported degraded service, Infura and Alchemy posted AWS-related incident notes, and several wallets and rollups began timing out. None of these failures came from the blockchains themselves. Consensus was fine.

  • Here is why Bitcoin registered its first red October in 7 years
    CryptoSlate - 09:58 Oct 31, 2025
    For more than a decade, October has been one of Bitcoin’s easiest months to be bullish. Historically, it has delivered average gains of about 22.5%, helped by post-summer liquidity, year-end portfolio positioning, and, more recently, steady demand from US investment products. As a result, confidence in that pattern was high again this year. And true […] The post Here is why Bitcoin registered its first red October in 7 years appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Mastercard may soon make a significant investment to fully enter the crypto space.

  • Do ETFs risk centralizing Solana, and who actually gets the yield?
    CryptoSlate - 21:00 Oct 30, 2025
    Solana spent years building a staking culture in which over two-thirds of the circulating supply is delegated to validators, earning roughly 6% annually from inflation and fees. Non-staking Solana ETFs might just change this dynamic. Now that reflexive on-chain participation faces a new competitor: exchange-traded funds that either cannot or will not stake. Hong Kong’s […] The post Do ETFs risk centralizing Solana, and who actually gets the yield? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Whales awaken as old SOL hits exchanges but $117M ETF inflows soak up supply

    Solana exhibits an on-chain pattern that appears bearish at first glance but becomes constructive when considered alongside capital flows into regulated investment products. Over the past month, early Solana holders, investors who accumulated during quieter market phases, have begun moving older coins back into circulation.
