    CryptoSlate - 13:25 Feb 25, 2026
    Two regulators converged on the same market from opposite directions in February 2026. The European Securities and Markets Authority warned that derivatives marketed as “perpetual futures” or “perpetual contracts” tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum likely fall within the scope of contracts-for-difference regulations, regardless of what firms call them. Days earlier, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission […] The post Crypto traders are chasing 10x leverage in the US while Europe tightens the screws behind the scenes appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin miners sell $348M BTC as power costs bite and the $7.4 billion treasury begins shrinking fast
    CryptoSlate - 12:05 Feb 25, 2026
    Public Bitcoin miners collectively held 115,335 BTC as of Feb. 20, worth roughly $7.4 billion at the recent price, but that treasury dropped 4.44% month-over-month, the first sustained contraction since miners began stockpiling coins as balance-sheet assets. The decline wasn't an accident.

    CryptoSlate - 10:12 Feb 25, 2026
    Bitcoin is entering a period where macro sequencing matters more than narrative. Equity markets are trading near record valuations, real yields remain elevated, and credit markets are expanding into increasingly opaque corners of the financial system. None of these conditions guarantees an imminent break. But together they form the backdrop for what could become a […] The post A record 206% stock bubble is building pressure that threatens Bitcoin’s recovery appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • If Bitcoin loses this level, the chart’s winter path to $49,000 opens up fast
    CryptoSlate - 21:20 Feb 24, 2026
    Bitcoin spent the last two days sliding down a familiar set of shelves, and the order book kept printing lower bids as liquidity thinned. By this morning, it sat at $63,214, a level that places the price inside the lower band on my two-year channel map. The receipts are straightforward, and the consequences sit inside […] The post If Bitcoin loses this level, the chart’s winter path to $49,000 opens up fast appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 19:30 Feb 24, 2026
    Bitcoin is heading toward an uncomfortable milestone, a potential fifth consecutive monthly decline if February closes in the red, and the setup is starting to look less like a crypto-specific drawdown and more like a macro-driven repricing. This five-month losing streak would be notable in the post-ETF era and would also be Bitcoin’s longest stretch […] The post Bitcoin on course for record fifth straight monthly loss as $4.5B ETF outflows put $58,000 in sight appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Ethereum is getting two headline signals at once, and they point in different directions. On-chain trackers have flagged a burst of ETH sales linked to Vitalik Buterin, the network’s most recognizable figure.

  • XRP ETF inflows collapse 93% as price capitulates, will this cause a reset or repair phase?

    XRP is entering a stretch where on-chain cost basis, leverage, and flow data may matter more than broad market narratives. The token is approaching a critical point after a sharp rise in realized losses, with on-chain activity showing investors moving coins below their purchase prices. That is a classic capitulation signal. It often appears near […] The post XRP ETF inflows collapse 93% as price capitulates, will this cause a reset or repair phase? appeared first on CryptoSlate.
