    CryptoSlate - 14:45 Feb 23, 2026
    The S&P 500 has a concentration problem, and crypto still rides the same plumbing Ten companies have been carrying the S&P 500 like a heavy tool belt, and the weight shows up in one number: about 41% at the end of 2025.

    CryptoSlate - 13:10 Feb 23, 2026
    Bitcoin search interest in the United States is finally climbing back toward its 2021 highs. The move comes even as Bitcoin trades in the mid-$60,000s after topping $126,000 in October 2025.

  • Bitcoin looks busy but 31% of its users vanished as ETFs bleed $4.5B in 2026
    CryptoSlate - 11:06 Feb 23, 2026
    Bitcoin’s network activity has been weakening for six straight months, but the decline is not showing up in the headline metric many traders watch first. The clearer signal is not transaction volume, which has held up, but participation breadth. Fewer unique addresses are active on the chain, even as the network continues to process a […] The post Bitcoin looks busy but 31% of its users vanished as ETFs bleed $4.5B in 2026 appeared first on CryptoSlate.
  • Bitcoin’s calm price action is a trap: The steady ETF bid that supported it has already disappeared
    CryptoSlate - 21:10 Feb 22, 2026
    Spot Bitcoin ETFs gave the market a clean, daily scoreboard: a green print meant fresh cash crossing the boundary from traditional brokerage accounts into Bitcoin exposure, and a red print meant the opposite. For much of the first year of spot ETFs in the US, that scoreboard tracked sentiment and set the market’s tempo. Traders […] The post Bitcoin’s calm price action is a trap: The steady ETF bid that supported it has already disappeared appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Trump’s crypto firm made $1.2 billion in 16 months because it found a way to sell resort debt as tokens
    CryptoSlate - 19:05 Feb 22, 2026
    A Trump-linked crypto firm is bringing the former president's brand into the structured credit market. World Liberty Financial plans to tokenize loan-revenue interests tied to the Trump International Hotel and Resort Maldives, offering investors exposure to projected interest payments connected to the project's financing rather than ownership of the property itself. With the completion date […] The post Trump’s crypto firm made $1.2 billion in 16 months because it found a way to sell resort debt as tokens appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin bulls could walk into a $1 billion liquidation trap as Bank of America warns multiples are about to compress
    CryptoSlate - 16:35 Feb 22, 2026
    Bank of America's latest market call reads less like a typical bear forecast and more like a structural warning about what happens when markets stop paying premium multiples, even if profits keep growing. The firm argues that the S&P 500 remains “statistically expensive” on 18 of 20 valuation metrics, with four near-record highs, and expects […] The post Bitcoin bulls could walk into a $1 billion liquidation trap as Bank of America warns multiples are about to compress appeared first on CryptoSlate.
  • The SEC just gave Cardano a 75-day shortcut to a spot ETF that took Bitcoin 240 days

    CME's Cardano futures went live on Feb. 9, and that date may matter more for ETFs than for trading. Under the SEC's new generic listing standards for commodity-based trust shares, one of the clearest fast lanes for a spot crypto ETP is having regulated futures on a CFTC-supervised venue for at least six months.

    Bitcoin is trading like a rates product now because real yields are the new “gravity” Earlier this month, we saw the macro picture shift in a very real and tangible way. The record of last year's job level changed significantly, and markets treated that update as fresh information to trade on.

  • Bitcoin sells off as the yen surged fast enough to trigger cuts across risk books
    CryptoSlate - 06:10 Feb 22, 2026
    Bitcoin sometimes sells off hard on days with no crypto headlines. A recurring driver sits outside crypto: a yen-funded carry unwind that forces cross-asset deleveraging, then transmits into BTC through thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and fast position reduction in derivatives. Here's the core mechanism in one line: if USD/JPY moves fast enough to trigger margin […] The post Bitcoin sells off as the yen surged fast enough to trigger cuts across risk books appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Election betting in an ETF wrapper: The “ambient gambling” shift coming to brokerage accounts
    CryptoSlate - 04:05 Feb 22, 2026
    A set of new ETF filings wants to turn election outcomes into brokerage-account tickers. If approved, they’d also make “political risk” a tradable product on the same rails that already carry spot Bitcoin ETFs, pulling attention, liquidity, and regulatory pressure into the same lane. Roundhill, GraniteShares, and Bitwise’s PredictionShares brand propose funds that track binary […] The post Election betting in an ETF wrapper: The “ambient gambling” shift coming to brokerage accounts appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin eyes $175B in refund liquidity as Supreme Court nukes Trump tariffs
    CryptoSlate - 02:45 Feb 22, 2026
    The Supreme Court's Feb. 20 decision striking down President Donald Trump's IEEPA-based tariff program as illegal creates a massive fiscal overhang that could function as an unintended liquidity injection. The Court ruled 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, invalidating a program that collected at least […] The post Bitcoin eyes $175B in refund liquidity as Supreme Court nukes Trump tariffs appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Stablecoin supply is crypto’s deployable cash. With a total stablecoin market cap of around $307.92 billion and down -1.13% in the past 30 days, the pool has stopped growing month over month.

    European Central Bank President, Christine Lagarde, runs an institution that trades in certainty, and she does it in a moment that rewards ambiguity.

The FT reported Lagarde is expected to step down before her term […] The post ECB slaps a €1.3B price tag on the digital euro amid leadership change rumors appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Bitcoin's current bear market could worsen over the next year if the flagship digital asset fails to address concerns about quantum computing. In a Feb. 20 report, Charles Edwards, Capriole founder, claimed that Bitcoin’s market value should already be discounted for quantum risk and warned that the discount could deepen quickly if the network does […] The post Bitcoin may tumble toward $30,000 next year unless it shows real progress toward quantum proof upgrades appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • If Bitcoin stays near $67k, it breaks the Power Law floor by mid-December
    CryptoSlate - 18:05 Feb 20, 2026
    Bitcoin has until the end of the year to recover, or the Power Law will be invalidated. The Power Law model isn't a prophecy. It's a time-based regression that treats Bitcoin's long-run price path as a power curve, and the “deadline” talk centers on a rising floor. Better yet, a lower band that rises every […] The post If Bitcoin stays near $67k, it breaks the Power Law floor by mid-December appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Ethereum’s new roadmap lands in a market that is less interested in vision and more interested in evidence. That is the core tension behind the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Priorities Update for 2026, which breaks the network’s next phase into three tracks, including Scale, Improve UX, and Harden the L1.
