Gold pricing shifts onto blockchain networks once US futures markets close for the weekend, according to Iggy Ioppe, former chief investment officer at Credit Suisse and now chief investment officer (CIO) at liquidity infrastructure firm Theo. CME gold futures stop trading at 5:00 pm ET on Friday and reopen at 6:00 pm ET on Sunday. During that interval, regulated futures markets are inactive and most remaining activity occurs through private over-the-counter deals in Asia that are not publicly reported. As a result, tokenized gold assets such as PAX Gold ($PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUt) become the only continuously available trading…
The White House’s self-imposed deadline for banks and crypto to resolve their stablecoin standoff has come and gone. With no deal in sight, trillions in institutional capital now hang in the balance. Why it matters: Stablecoin legislation is widely seen as the gateway to mainstream crypto adoption in the US. Without it, regulatory uncertainty persists, enforcement risk rises, and innovation continues migrating to friendlier jurisdictions in Europe and Asia. The details: The March 1 deadline set by White House Crypto Council Executive Director Patrick Witt has passed without a compromise on stablecoin yield. Crypto firms are pushing for the legal…

Mike Cagney: Bitcoin’s stability rivals gold and silver, Tether’s shift to gold signals market confidence, and capital is rotating from crypto to precious metals
Key takeaways Bitcoin is being compared to gold and silver in terms of market behavior, indicating its potential as a stable asset. Tether’s investment in gold over fiat or treasury securities suggests a belief in gold’s superior returns. Gold’s valuation could be significantly higher if aligned with overall monetary aggregates. China’s preference for silver over gold is rooted in historical perspectives on monetary value. The silver to gold ratio is expected to decrease, indicating potential changes in market dynamics. Increased reserve requirements at the CME could boost silver market volatility. Rumors of silver scarcity due to Chinese export restrictions are…
Bitcoin losing trillions in value hasn’t stopped traditional giants’ interest in digital assets sector
The mood around digital assets has shifted again among the world’s largest allocators, according to Ron Biscardi, CEO of iConnections, which runs one of the largest capital introduction conferences globally. Biscardi, who has spent more than 25 years in the alternative investment industry and runs a platform that represents over $55 trillion in assets, has a front-row seat. His firm tracks thousands of meetings between fund managers and institutional investors each year. That data shows how quickly sentiment can turn. After a couple of “rough” years following the crypto market crash following the FTX collapse in 2022, interest began to…
While Wall Street slept through a Saturday night of airstrikes, onchain traders were already repricing the world in real time. Hyperliquid Shows Global Repricing Happens Before Wall Street Wakes Up When U.S. and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, 2026, legacy markets were closed for the weekend. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), CME Group and major commodity venues were dark. On the decentralized exchange ( DEX) platform Hyperliquid, however, oil, gold, silver, and bitcoin never blinked. “Days like today make you wonder why finance isn’t open on weekends,” the X account Santiago R Santos posted…
Vladimir Novakovski: DeFi must match TradFi performance without sacrificing verifiability, why solving real problems is key to crypto innovation, and the future of Ethereum’s institutional use cases
Key takeaways DeFi must match the performance of TradFi while maintaining verifiability. Building in crypto should focus on solving significant problems, not just innovation for its own sake. Centralized trading dominated digital asset transactions in 2022, undermining blockchain’s potential. Verifiable on-chain intermediaries can enhance efficiency compared to opaque TradFi systems. Perpetual contracts attract traders due to their capital efficiency and leverage. Core technology development should involve real customer feedback for effectiveness. Perpetual exchange dominance shifts with each market cycle, reflecting evolving trends. The lack of product market fit limits DEX adoption among traders. Competition between centralized and decentralized exchanges is…
Ethereum price has struggled to sustain a meaningful recovery despite an 11% surge in the past 24 hours. The rally briefly improved sentiment, yet $ETH remains trapped within a broader consolidation structure. Persistent hesitation among investors continues to cap upside momentum. The altcoin king has underperformed several large-cap peers in recent weeks. While Cardano and Chainlink posted relatively stronger returns, Ethereum’s recovery attempts have repeatedly stalled. Investor resilience, or the lack of it, remains a central challenge for $ETH price stabilization. Ethereum Holders Need To Take a Break Ethereum currently ranks as the most undervalued major altcoin based on Santiment’s…
The legal crisis surrounding trade policies in the US is deepening. Last month, the US Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump’s global tariffs were illegal and annulled them. This decision paved the way for companies to seek reimbursement from the government, triggering a complex litigation process worth billions of dollars. The tariffs that the court annulled had generated over $130 billion in revenue for the US government by the end of 2025. However, following the decision, numerous companies began filing lawsuits in federal courts to recover the taxes they had paid. The Trump administration requested a delay of up…
