Crypto business news — institutional moves, funding rounds, payments, partnerships, and country-level adoption.
A new nonprofit with Joe Lubin on board pairs ETH's base-layer credibility with named institutional backers, signalling that onchain-finance infrastructure is now a coordinated industry push rather…
ESMA's transitional window closes this week, and reverse-solicitation carve-outs are too narrow to keep offshore apps serving EU users in practice; enforcement through app stores will shape which…
A $60 forecast from a top-tier bank is the rare TradFi-issued price target on a DeFi lending protocol, and a meaningful legitimizing signal for Morpho Vaults as the venue eyes deeper institutional…
Swartz's merchant-bank model pairs liquid yield strategies with active protocol incubation across Ethereum, Canton, Solana, and StarkNet, a structure the institutional RWA market has been missing.
The 140-company Open USD consortium, with Coinbase as a launch partner, looks like the first credible threat to USDC's distribution moat, and Circle still rates a $190 target.
Binance alone cleared $1B in equity AUM within weeks, and the real story is the collateral plumbing: 24/7 cross-margining turns idle stock positions into productive margin.
Two analysts separately argue the easy AI trade is over, correlations are rising, and bitcoin's four-year cycle is still intact, with a $54K to $58K bottom on the table.
The reveal matters less for the product itself than for what it shows about Phantom's distribution play: a Phantom-native venue using Chainlink oracles and Phantom's own CASH stablecoin shows the…
A 33x call from a bulge-bracket bank reframes Morpho from a niche lending protocol into the rail TradFi issuers are expected to use when they finally move balance sheets onchain.
The cycle-peak collapse tells the story by itself: 95% fewer dollars raised and 90% fewer deals completed versus the prior high, the weakest quarter in four years.
Cathie Wood's flagship fund deployed capital into the very names June was punishing most: $44M into COIN, $25M into CRCL, $8.2M into BLSH, all while the three stocks bled 20-40%.
Four new wallets opened 20x leveraged longs on 800 BTC ($47M) in five days, a coordinated high-conviction bet that hints at a single, well-capitalised player rather than scattered retail flow.
A payments stack built on a stablecoin wallet reaching a 300M-user super-app is the legitimising story. Zero fees and a 10-minute SDK set the bar for consumer-grade crypto checkout across Asia.
Just 47 ICOs, IDOs and IEOs cleared a combined $40M last quarter, the thinnest public-sale pipeline since 2022 and a 95% collapse from the cycle peak.
Record outflows from US spot bitcoin and ether ETFs in June contrast with $59M of net inflows into XRP products and $161M into Hyperliquid vehicles, with HYPE riding $80M in monthly protocol fees.
Binance is the most visible miss, but the regulatory drag is broader: just 7% of European crypto firms hold a MiCA license, and Ripple says the stablecoin rulebook is still being written in practice.
The bid is hiding where the price action does not: spot ETFs keep bleeding while LTH wallets and broad accumulation cohorts step in, a split that has marked prior cycle floors.
The £150M claim lands while Binance is still rebuilding UK compliance after 2023's regulator-driven exit, putting the exchange back in front of British plaintiffs on its weakest terrain.
The headline number is the sector's biggest midterms haul yet, but the concentration of funds behind Fairshake and a handful of issuers points to a more coordinated industry push than 2024.
