Binance continues holding deep stablecoin liquidity, yet its reserve mix has shifted noticeably in recent months. USD Coin [$USDC] reserves dropped 40.3% from $7.7 billion to $4.6 billion as of writing, reversing most gains recorded during early 2026. Meanwhile, Tether [$USDT] reserves remained steady at $38.5 billion, widening the gap between both assets to nearly $33.9 billion. Such a divergence suggests that users prefer $USDT over $USDC for exchange balances, rather than signaling broad liquidity contraction.

The sharp pullback in the cryptocurrency market in recent weeks has put significant pressure on short-term Bitcoin investors in particular.

The negative market sentiment has also caused the Crypto Fear and Greed Index to fall below 10. This is considered a significant indicator of a period of extreme…

Bitcoin’s recovery has given bulls something to work with again, but traders are still treating the move as a level-by-level test rather than a clean return to euphoria. View original TradingView chart TL;DR TradingView analyst kiv1n mapped a BTCUSDT long setup using liquidation levels, with an optimized target near $67,450. That Martini Guy said Bitcoin reclaiming $63,500 after a higher low near $62,400 makes it harder to stay aggressively bearish. The key level across the bullish case is whether $BTC can hold the reclaimed $63,500 area. A failed hold would weaken the long setup quickly, especially after recent liquidation-driven volatility.…

The statement came after TapTools, one of Cardano’s most widely used analytics and infrastructure platforms, said it would begin winding down operations over the next two weeks following…

Washington has spent a year arguing about which agency should regulate a $2.2 trillion market. Nobody checked whether that agency has anyone in the building. It has one person, four empty chairs, and a plan involving artificial intelligence. For a year, the entire American crypto policy debate has been a jurisdictional argument. Should the SEC or the CFTC supervise digital asset markets? The CLARITY Act answers CFTC, and the industry has spent enormous energy and money trying to get that answer written into law. Somewhere in that year, almost nobody stopped to ask a more basic question about the agency…
