    CryptoSlate - 19:25 Jan 01, 2026

Twelve months later, the scoreboard reveals a pattern. The price targets mostly crashed and burned, while the structural calls on regulation, ETFs, and payments infrastructure quietly came true.

    CryptoSlate - 17:05 Jan 01, 2026
    On the last trading days of the year, the kind of chart that almost nobody outside finance ever looks at started yelling again. Banks piled into the Fed’s Standing Repo Facility, borrowing a record $74.6 billion on Dec. 31 for 2025. Overnight funding rates popped, the benchmark SOFR briefly hit 3.77%, the general collateral repo […] The post Shock $74B emergency bank loan on NYE just revived the dark “COVID cover-up” secret bailout theory appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin “died” four times in 2025, but a hidden infrastructure boom proves the skeptics completely wrong
    CryptoSlate - 15:45 Jan 01, 2026
    2025 delivered at least four distinct “crypto is dead” episodes: a January AI-induced flash crash, the October tariff liquidation that erased $19 billion in leveraged positions, months of altcoin carnage, and a fourth quarter slump that wiped out the year's price gains. Mainstream outlets dusted off “crypto winter” language each time. Bitcoin logged more obituaries […] The post Bitcoin “died” four times in 2025, but a hidden infrastructure boom proves the skeptics completely wrong appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • XRP on exchanges hits 8 year low, but historical data exposes a brutal flaw in the popular “moon” narrative
    CryptoSlate - 13:05 Jan 01, 2026
    Glassnode data shows that XRP's exchange balances hit their lowest level since 2018 in late December, sparking the usual wave of accumulation phase speculation and “tight supply = moon” commentary. While the eight-year low encompasses the entire exchange ecosystem, CryptoQuant data for Binance offers a recent window into whether these troughs actually precede rallies.

    CryptoSlate - 10:49 Jan 01, 2026
    If you followed Bitcoin ETFs day to day in 2025, you probably developed the same habit everyone did: you checked the print at night, read one sentence about “risk-on” or “risk-off,” then tried to map a clean story onto a messy market. The problem is that daily flows are noisy by design. They're the residue […] The post Bitcoin ETF fatigue is real, ignoring noise, these are the 10 days that mattered in 2025 appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    There is a particular kind of Bitcoin holder who only shows up when the noise gets loud. They are the people who watched 2021 melt into 2022, who kept their keys anyway, who learned to live with the idea that the line on the chart can drop faster than their mood.

    The Ethereum blockchain recorded its strongest operational year in history in 2025, processing record transaction volumes and securing the vast majority of the DeFi market. However, the crypto asset that powers the network failed to mirror that growth, posting double-digit losses for the year.

  • Crypto hacks dropped by half in 2025, but the data reveals a much deadlier financial threat
    CryptoSlate - 14:25 Dec 31, 2025
    This year’s defining security event was not a sophisticated DeFi exploit or a novel protocol failure, but the $1.46 billion theft from Bybit, a top-tier centralized exchange. That single event, attributed to sophisticated state-sponsored actors, rewrote the narrative of the year. It proved that while the frequency of attacks has dropped, the severity of the […] The post Crypto hacks dropped by half in 2025, but the data reveals a much deadlier financial threat appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    2025 was supposed to be crypto's maturation year, with regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and infrastructure built to last. In fact, the foundation for all these topics was laid down. Yet, it also delivered a master class in how quickly narratives collapse when opacity meets price discovery.

    In the latest SlateCast episode, XYO co-founder Markus Levin joined CryptoSlate’s hosts to unpack why decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) are moving beyond niche experiments—and why XYO built a purpose-built Layer-1 to handle the kind of data AI and real-world applications increasingly demand.
