    CryptoSlate - 19:45 Feb 09, 2026
    Ripple is working to make decentralized finance more familiar to regulated institutions and is placing XRP at the center of that effort.

    If you hold either US dollars or Bitcoin, then you're a little poorer this morning than when you went to bed last night. It doesn't matter whether there's cash in your pocket or sats in your wallet; both have less purchasing power today than they did yesterday.

  • Crypto market bottom is closer than you think as Bitcoin miner reserves crash to historic lows
    CryptoSlate - 12:25 Feb 09, 2026
    Bitcoin’s price story lately has been told like it only has one main character, the ETFs. Money goes in, price goes up, money goes out, price goes down. It’s a clean narrative, and it’s not wrong, but it’s incomplete, because Bitcoin is not just a ticker. The network has its own internal plumbing, and some […] The post Crypto market bottom is closer than you think as Bitcoin miner reserves crash to historic lows appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 21:15 Feb 08, 2026
    Bitcoin’s next big options gravity well sits on Mar. 27 (260327), and the reason is simple: this is where the market has parked a thick stack of conditional bets that will need to be unwound, rolled forward, or paid out as the clock runs down.

    On Jan.30, 2026, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $509.7 million in net outflows, which looks like pretty straightforward negative sentiment until you look at the individual tickers and realize a few of them stayed green. That contradiction aged fast over the next few days.

  • Bitcoin short term holders are panic selling at a loss but was this capitulation or just a leverage reset?

    Bitcoin’s slide through $65,000 and toward $60,000 felt like a stress test the market had been postponing. The move was sharp enough to force a reset in positioning, and broad enough to pull the conversation away from single-catalyst explanations.

  • Binance trading data reveals why Bitcoin prices are sliding even as spot buyers flood the market with bids
    CryptoSlate - 17:15 Feb 07, 2026
    Bitcoin’s hard cap is easy to understand: there will only ever be 21 million coins. What's hard to understand is that the marginal market is allowed to trade far more than 21 million coins worth of exposure, because most of that exposure is synthetic and cash-settled, and it can be created or reduced in seconds.

  • Bitcoin now at a price level it has always defended and the current $67,000 BTC mining cost matters
    CryptoSlate - 13:30 Feb 07, 2026
    Trader Plan C recently surfaced a chart indicating a production-cost model placing Bitcoin's marginal mining expense at approximately $67,000, with historical price action showing repeated bounces off that red line.
