Crypto.com operates as a cryptocurrency exchange and payment platform, facilitating buying, selling, and trading of digital assets. Their insights are crucial as they reflect the broader trends affecting the crypto market…
Two decrees, one message On 29 September, the Spanish government approved two emergency decrees on housing. They took effect within days, and a planned hearing in Congress was on Friday, October 2, and the decree didn’t pass, though it was a very close vote. Spain’s government did not pass these rules as a normal law. On 29 September, it approved two emergency decrees (reales decretos-ley). The Constitution reserves this tool for cases of “extraordinary and urgent need”. A decree-law takes effect immediately, and Congress then has thirty days to validate or repeal it. The government split the reforms into two…
Burry later explained that his Jan. 31 post was motivated by concerns about an approaching banking crisis, rather than a specific forecast that the Nasdaq-100 would collapse. Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank subsequently failed in March. By March 30, however, Burry publicly reversed course, writing that he had been “wrong to say sell.” He has since reiterated that the viral post is often shown without that later context. Still, the performance since then is extraordinary. The Nasdaq-100 has climbed about 157% since Michael Burry’s January 2023 “Sell” post. AI Turned the Nasdaq Into a Different Market The biggest reason…
Who can issue a controlled asset? The framework is open infrastructure: a creator can register a programmable token policy and deploy token specific scripts. That does not grant permission to issue a security or a payment stablecoin in any jurisdiction. A regulated issuer still needs the legal authority, investor onboarding, asset custody, disclosures and redemption arrangements applicable to its product. Code can check a credential or reject an address; it cannot itself establish that the underlying bond exists or a reserve account is solvent. The Foundation names stablecoin issuers, fund managers and bond issuers as potential users. It says the…
The documentation confirms how Ripple has built a recovery process into ODL to deal with problems that can occur during cross-border payments. Essentially, the system can recover funds and make the funds available for another payment instead of leaving them tied up after a failed transaction. How ODL Uses $XRP as a Bridge For context, ODL allows financial institutions to move money across borders without having to keep large amounts of funds in accounts denominated in different currencies. The system uses $XRP as a bridge between the sender’s currency and the recipient’s currency. In a normal transaction, the sender’s fiat…
Key Features and Operational Details of FNB’s Crypto Service The entry point is deliberately low. Customers can start trading with a minimum investment of R10, roughly $0.60, and the market never closes — trading is available 24/7, matching how crypto itself operates. The feature plugs into FNB’s existing products, including Share Saver, Share Builder, Share Investor and Share Zero, according to Crypto Briefing. There’s a notable restriction, though. Any crypto bought through FNB stays locked inside the bank’s own ecosystem — clients can’t move coins to an external wallet or a rival exchange. Crypto Briefing reported that FNB tied the…
Additionally, the current number is close to the bottom side of the recent trading range, which adds credibility to this new whale behavior. Thus, the trend of whales adding supply to exchanges has decreased, in turn limiting potential sell-pressure during periods of increased price volatility. In conclusion, the trend of whales supplying the market with additional coins has improved. However, sustained withdrawals will matter more than a short-term flow change. Bitcoin holders return to profit This is important to note regarding this movement of whales due to the fact that whales are once again generating profits. At writing time, Bitcoin…
Peter Thiel-backed Founders Fund leads a $5 million token buy in crypto collateral protocol Anvil
“Businesses need to know the commitments behind payments and credit will be honored,” Joey Krug, a partner at Founders Fund, said in the announcement. “Anvil lets them secure those commitments with verifiable digital asset collateral, and the new SDK makes it easier to integrate into their products.” Anvil Research Labs named Consensus, Bitcoin.com, payments company Flexa and several other companies as partners that are already using or integrating its tooling. Bullish (BLSH), the parent company of CoinDesk, is also working with Anvil to explore how the protocol could be used in its operations. The ANVL tokens purchased by Founders Fund…
Ethereum holds above $2,679 as daily momentum cools On TradingView’s daily chart, the Bollinger Bands place the 20-day simple moving average at $2,679.31.

The IRS’s 2026 Form 1099-DA instructions make that divide explicit. Covered digital assets generally must have been acquired after 2025 in the reporting broker’s custodial account and held there until disposal. Assets bought before 2026 or transferred into the broker are noncovered, with basis reporting voluntary. The distinction runs through the current reporting year as international reporting develops and blockchain analytics providers offer tax authorities a wider view of activity. Three routes, the same gain Consider a deliberately simplified hypothetical US investment: 0.1 Bitcoin bought for $5,000 in February 2026 and sold for $7,000 in September. Assume one purchase lot,…
