For years, traders in China leaned on one quiet assumption. When prices fell hard, the national team would step in and buy. That belief sat under the market like a floor. But last week, that floor cracked in public after Central Huijin Investment, a state-linked fund, sold sold about $67.5 billion across 14 tech-related ETFs in six sessions through Thursday, according to Bloomberg. Chen Da, founder of Dante Research, said, “If enough people are watching what this player is doing, its actions could be enough to alter expectations.” That view spread quickly on trading floors. The national team was no…

Revolut, a U.K. fintech that offers crypto trading, scrapped plans to buy a U.S. bank and will instead apply for a standalone banking license as it expands in the world’s largest financial market, the Financial Times reported Friday. The London-based company had sought to fast-track its entry into the American banking system by acquiring a chartered U.S. lender, a move that would have allowed it to operate across all 50 states. But the company, which last year reached a $75 billion valuation in a secondary share sale, concluded that an acquisition would be slower and more complicated than expected, the…

Crypto investment products reversed course last week from solid inflows to one of the largest outflow weeks on record amid persistent bearish market sentiment. Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw $1.73 billion of outflows during the week, the biggest since mid-November 2025, CoinShares reported on Monday. “Dwindling expectations for interest rate cuts, negative price momentum and disappointment that digital assets have not participated in the debasement trade yet have likely fuelled these outflows,” said CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill. The latest outflows highlight the market’s sideways trading, following the prior week’s $2.2 billion of inflows. Bitcoin and Ether lead outflows…

One thing we rarely think about is how bad weather can affect Bitcoin’s security, but it happens fairly regularly. Snow can legitimately pose a risk to Bitcoin miners who secure the blockchain. The snow shows up on the weather map first, a fat smear of color stretching across state lines. Then it turns into the stuff you actually feel: power lines dancing in the wind, crews on standby, households trying to keep the heat on. Somewhere behind that very normal human scene is a different kind of appliance: rows of Bitcoin miners that do one job when electricity is cheap…

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that strict regulations have negatively forced high-demand companies to remain private for years, allowing early gains to flow mainly to private and credit investors. Writing on X on January 26, he maintained that going fully on-chain could unlock early price discovery, lower costs, and significantly increase the accessibility of capital formation. Armstrong suggested, “We need to make capital formation way easier for private companies.” He added that the lack of liquid markets during a company’s early lifecycle often leads to weak price performance once the firm eventually goes public. Brian Armstrong proposes that startups go…

After weeks in which the bitcoin BTC$87,851.82 price has been constrained mainly between $85,000 and $95,000, the crypto market may be thrown a reason to break out of the doldrums on Wednesday, when the Federal Open Markets Committee sets U.S. interest rates. May, that is. Not will. The consensus, more than 97%, is for the Fed to keep rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, according to the CME’s Fedwatch tool. As ever, what’s said at the post-decision press conference may be more influential than the decision itself. U.S. earning season picks up. While there are no major crypto companies scheduled to report,…
