    CryptoSlate - 14:20 Mar 09, 2026

    CryptoSlate - 11:01 Mar 09, 2026
    Bitcoin slid below $70,000 this weekend after a weak US jobs report, and another jump in oil prices revived stagflation concerns and pushed investors out of risk assets. The largest cryptocurrency fell as low as $65,660, according to CryptoSlate’s data, less than a week after reaching a monthly high near $74,000. The move put Bitcoin […] The post Bitcoin traders focus on $61k as oil surges past $115 and weak jobs data rattle markets appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    In the latest SlateCast episode, Fantium CEO and co-founder Jonathan Ludwig joined CryptoSlate Editor-in-Chief Liam “Akiba” Wright and CEO Nate Whitehill to discuss why he returned to building, how Fantium structures athlete financing, and why its broader sports-token vision is focused on utility rather than pure speculation.

  • New model proves miners need Bitcoin above $74k to break even on power – but other costs push it over 6 figures
    CryptoSlate - 20:15 Mar 08, 2026
    Riot case study shows US Bitcoin miners can clear power costs long before they clear full profit Bitcoin mining costs are often reduced to a single number: the “cost to mine one BTC.” In reality, that figure depends on what layer of the business you measure. Electricity determines whether machines should run today, operating expenses […] The post New model proves miners need Bitcoin above $74k to break even on power – but other costs push it over 6 figures appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Seven internet cables were cut at once — Bitcoin barely noticed, but researchers found a real chokepoint
    CryptoSlate - 18:15 Mar 08, 2026
    When seabed disturbances off Côte d'Ivoire severed seven submarine cables in March 2024, the regional internet impact earned an IODA severity score above 11,000. For Bitcoin, the global effect was negligible. The affected region hosted roughly five nodes, about 0.03% of the network, and the impact fell within normal fluctuations at -2.5%. No price movement […] The post Seven internet cables were cut at once — Bitcoin barely noticed, but researchers found a real chokepoint appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • 161,000 US jobs just disappeared after a revision as Bitcoin navigates increasingly messy macro data
    CryptoSlate - 13:10 Mar 08, 2026
    US markets move in seconds when the jobs report hits. February payrolls fell by 92,000 jobs, the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, and prior months were revised down by 69,000. Together, that's 161,000 fewer jobs than the numbers showed at the start of the year.

  • Bitcoin funding rates just flashed one of the bleakest signals in months before one macro number changed everything
    CryptoSlate - 11:07 Mar 08, 2026
    Bitcoin's derivatives market gave us the best explanation of this week's macro stress. Funding rates turned sharply negative, open interest stayed elevated, and then the US jobs report landed. Put together, that showed a market leaning hard into downside hedges just as a real macro catalyst arrived. That sequence is worth understanding because it explains […] The post Bitcoin funding rates just flashed one of the bleakest signals in months before one macro number changed everything appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    A large volume of US commercial real estate (CRE) debt is rolling into a very different market from the one that produced it.

  • $19B could “vanish” from Bitcoin ETFs without a single Bitcoin being sold
    CryptoSlate - 19:15 Mar 07, 2026
    Headlines about Bitcoin ETF outflows often mix two things: Bitcoin's price move and actual share redemptions. If BTC drops, ETF AUM drops in dollars even if nobody sells a single share. That mark-to-market drop gets read as money leaving, and it can look like an institutional exit when the wrapper's Bitcoin holdings and shares outstanding […] The post $19B could “vanish” from Bitcoin ETFs without a single Bitcoin being sold appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    When crude starts leading the headlines, crypto people tend to ask the wrong questions, like what it is that oil actually does to Bitcoin.

A better one is what oil actually does to the cost of money, […] The post Forget CPI and ETFs — oil prices may now be the biggest signal for Bitcoin appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 10:04 Mar 07, 2026
    Bitcoin’s rebound on March 4 looked odd if you only watched it through the usual “risk assets are breaking” lens. Oil was jumping, shipping insurers were repricing war risk, and traders were treating the Strait of Hormuz like a live wire. All of the headlines had the cadence of a full-blown crisis.

  • AI is boosting demand for high skill tech jobs while quietly killing entry-level roles

    AI is raising demand for builders, not erasing them In February, a Citadel Securities analysis using Indeed data showed software-engineer job postings rising while overall job postings stayed weaker.

    Bitcoin’s brief rally above $73,000 during the past day has the feel of a price performance that could still fade, fast, noisy, and familiar to anyone who has watched bear-market rebounds fail.

    President Donald Trump projected four to five weeks for the conflict with Iran to come to an end. The market priced its playbook: headline shock, brief spike, diplomatic theater, then normalization.
