Bitcoin (BTC) slipped towards $82,550 late Friday, testing the lower end of its recent $80,000-$87,000 range and trading 0.65% for over 24 hours. This move lower occurred despite a historically bullish indicator flashing earlier, while options market data continues to reflect trader caution under the shadow of new US tariffs. Recent options market activity presaged the current weakness. Blockchain analysis platform Glassnode had reported put options trading at a premium, indicating heightened demand for downside protection. Puts are trading at a premium to calls, signaling a spike in demand for downside protection. This skew is most pronounced in short-term maturities…

After a frustrating few weeks in which bitcoin (BTC) prices seemed to move tick for tick with the Nasdaq, the world’s largest crypto is showing some signs of going its own way as stock prices go from struggling to plunging. With the Nasdaq following up its 6% tumble on Thursday with another 5% decline halfway through the day on Friday, the price of bitcoin is holding at around $83,000. That’s about 1% higher over the past 24 hours and lower by just 3.5% since President Trump announced his tariff package on Wednesday evening. Bitcoin is also greatly outperforming crypto-related stock…

CoreWeave’s initial public offering indicates signs of a pickup in dealmaking, which could prove to be a meaningful tailwind for the likes of the Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS) in 2025. The AI cloud infrastructure company had to downsize its IPO due to macro headwinds to $40 per share. However, it still raised $1.5 billion at a valuation of about $20 billion at a time when markets are grappling with fears of a recession ahead, which wasn’t a small feat at all. So, shares of Goldman Sachs, down some 20% versus their year-to-date high, look attractive at writing if you’re…

The financial markets are witnessing an interesting divergence. XRP, one of the leading crypto assets, posted a notable gain today, while NVIDIA (NVDA), the powerhouse of AI and chip technology, is nursing a 7.82% drop. The contrasting moves have sparked discussions on whether crypto assets and traditional stocks are decoupling. Dom Kwok, a former Goldman Sachs banking analyst, highlighted this trend in a tweet. He referred to XRP and NVDA as two of the biggest “bellwethers” in their respective markets. His observation suggests that while the broader stock market, particularly tech-related equities, faced downward pressure, crypto assets like XRP demonstrated…

This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. If you ask the average person in crypto what problems the industry faces today, “too many chains, not enough apps” quickly comes up as a common gripe. This complaint has a striking parallel to the days of the early internet. During the dot-com boom of the late 90s and early 2000s, skeptics similarly criticized the perceived overinvestment in excessive infrastructure, particularly fiber optics. Telecom companies (Global Crossing, WorldCom, AT&T) spent billions laying undersea cables and long-haul fiber networks based on the belief that internet traffic would grow…

The following is a guest post and opinion of Hatu Sheikh, the founder of Coin Terminal. The traditional crypto VC investing model has failed. VC firms have returned to their drawing boards to strategically reorganize and optimally allocate funds in a highly competitive market. Driven by cyclical market conditions, VCs have realized their success doesn’t depend on following a fundamental conviction. Instead, it hinges on investing in projects with dominant mindshare, strong narratives, and successful go-to-market (GTM) execution strategies. Inspired by the recent rise of mindshare-led investments, VC investing is shifting from long-term to short-term, high-momentum bets. Crypto VC investing…
