Something interesting is happening with tokenized gold over the weekend. When CME gold futures close from Friday to Sunday, blockchain markets take over the role of a price compass. This is not just a technical detail — it shows how crypto ecosystems are evolving into real alternative channels for asset management.
At the same time, while traditional markets are sleeping, tokenized gold keeps trading 24/7, offering constant reference points for those looking for exposure to precious metals. Ioppe Iiggi of Theo noted that blockchain movements over the weekend often line up with how the situatio

I just reviewed the report from CoinGecko for the first quarter — the picture is not encouraging for most. Market capitalization has fallen by 20.4%, dropping to $2.4 trillion. Bitcoin has decreased by 22%, while oil has become the star of the quarter with a 76.9% increase due to geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. Interestingly, stablecoins are holding steady for now: USDT has fallen slightly for the first time since 2022 by (-1.6%), while USDC has grown to $77.1 billion.
The situation on exchanges is more difficult — spot trading volumes have decreased by 39.1%, in March this was

It's interesting to watch this whale on Hyperliquid — the guy is clearly not a saint. Shorting ETH for $40.6 million with 20x leverage, holding 21,000 units, and already in profit by $562 thousand. Sounds cool until you look at the numbers more closely. His position delta is $27.3 million in shorts, but the liquidation buffer is only 9.8% — that's $2 123 per coin. With an ROE of 27.3%, it looks like a profitable trade, but 53% of the margin is used without reserves. One sharp spike — and the account is at zero. However, he has a long position on BTC worth $13.3 million, which acts as some kin

I just learned about an interesting thing from the crypto world. Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, has officially become a paper billionaire. His net worth has exceeded $130 billion, all thanks to those original Bitcoin assets he accumulated at the very beginning of the network.
It's simply incredible when you think about it. None of these coins have ever been sold or moved. This means that all this wealth exists only in theory, depending on the current value of Bitcoin. Now, with BTC trading around $78K, these figures look even more impressive.
On one hand, it shows how far

I wonder how often people actually read disclosures from crypto media? I just came across an article about how one of the biggest crypto outlets operates, and it contains many interesting details.
So, it turns out that CoinDesk is not just an independent media outlet. The company is part of Bullish, a global digital assets platform focused on institutional investors. And this is important to know because journalists and staff members of the publication can receive compensation based on the company's shares.
Of course, CoinDesk adheres to strict editorial policies and claims to strive for integ

I just looked at XRP — the coin has risen a little, but honestly, it feels like it’s stuck in anticipation. The current price is hovering around $1.36 with a slight daily drop, and this is a typical picture for altcoins lately. The market is clearly waiting for some catalyst to determine the direction.
The problem is that there simply aren’t any big headlines. The crypto market overall is range-bound; Bitcoin and Ethereum are trying to hold their positions after the recent rallies that quickly burned out during the US session. The tone in the top coins—“sell on the rally”—is keeping risk appet

Yesterday, I observed an interesting cyclical move in the market during the Asian session. Bitcoin fell below $88 thousand, then quickly rebounded to $90 thousand after Trump eased his rhetoric on tariffs for Greenland in В Давосі. Such a cyclical move showed how much cryptocurrencies depend on macro news.
This sharp cyclical move lasted only a few hours—first panic due to trade threats, then relief after the president’s statement. Ether fell below $3 thousand, then recovered to $3,020. Solana, XRP, Cardano, and Dogecoin went through the same cycle: a drop and partial recovery. This didn’t
