Bitcoin’s market “plumbing” is now owned by these major banks that are controlling the price action

CryptoSlate - 13:00 Dec 23, 2025

The crypto market in 2025 looked nothing like it did in 2021. No parabolic rallies, no Reddit threads going vertical, no NFT floor prices exploding, Google Trends stayed quiet. Instead, the dominant crypto narrative of 2025 was written in 13F filings, custody agreements, and tokenized Treasury flows. BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) held 776,100 BTC […] The post Bitcoin’s market “plumbing” is now owned by these major banks that are controlling the price action appeared first on CryptoSlate.

CryptoSlate - 09:59 Dec 23, 2025

US inflation came in softer than expected, and the Fed delivered its third consecutive rate cut. The Bank of Japan raised rates for the first time in three decades without triggering a meltdown. On paper, the macro tape into year-end looks friendlier than it has in months. As of press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is up […] The post Bitcoin stalled at $90,000 because that “perfect” inflation report hides a massive data error appeared first on CryptoSlate.

TEN Protocol redefines Ethereum’s privacy with ‘compute in confidence’ approach

CryptoSlate - 02:00 Dec 23, 2025

Ethereum’s transparency has long been one of its greatest strengths—but for many real-world applications, it has also become a structural limitation. From MEV-driven trading inefficiencies to data leakage in DeFi, gaming, and AI-driven workflows, the assumption that everything must be public in order to be verifiable is increasingly being challenged. TEN Protocol is built around […] The post TEN Protocol redefines Ethereum’s privacy with ‘compute in confidence’ approach appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Bitcoin on-chain data just confirmed a “demand vacuum” that threatens to drag prices down to this uncomfortable range

CryptoSlate - 19:35 Dec 22, 2025

Bitcoin’s 2025 was billed as the year of the “supercycle,” powered by record institutional access and a friendlier policy backdrop out of Washington. However, it is ending very differently. Into December, the world’s largest digital asset is not pricing in a new paradigm so much as grinding through a performance problem. The rally has faded, […] The post Bitcoin on-chain data just confirmed a “demand vacuum” that threatens to drag prices down to this uncomfortable range appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Oil price collapse signals a dangerous liquidity trap and Bitcoin isn’t safe just because inflation is down

CryptoSlate - 16:00 Dec 22, 2025

Over the last few months, oil prices have collapsed below $60 a barrel alongside Bitcoin's slide from $126,000 in October to around $89,000 today. So, does energy’s slide reflect weaker demand or an inflation break that could impact risk assets like Bitcoin going forward? Brent closed at $58.92 and WTI at $55.27, the lowest settlements […] The post Oil price collapse signals a dangerous liquidity trap and Bitcoin isn’t safe just because inflation is down appeared first on CryptoSlate.

If you’ve ever bought a stock and assumed you “owned it” the moment you hit confirm, you’ve already met the least glamorous part of markets: settlement. Settlement is the back-end handoff where the system ensures that the buyer’s cash and the seller’s security actually swap places for good, with no take-backs and no missing pieces.

Charles Hoskinson argues the TRUMP token cost crypto a 70-vote Senate win and sparked the Bitcoin-only crisis

CryptoSlate - 09:10 Dec 22, 2025

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently argued that the launch of TRUMP three days before President Donald Trump's inauguration derailed what would have been a 70-vote Senate majority for the CLARITY Act and turned a unified crypto-policy push into a partisan battle.

Bitcoin miners are bleeding at $90,000, but the “death spiral” math hits a hard ceiling

CryptoSlate - 22:35 Dec 21, 2025

Bitcoin’s “miners are dumping” story is comforting in the way simple stories always are. Price slides, miners run out of oxygen, coins hit exchanges, and the price is shoved around by a single, easy villain. But miners are not a single actor, and selling pressure isn't just a mood. It's math, contracts, and deadlines. When […] The post Bitcoin miners are bleeding at $90,000, but the “death spiral” math hits a hard ceiling appeared first on CryptoSlate.

When a network brags about throughput, it’s really bragging about how much chaos it can swallow before it chokes.

Bitcoin (BTC) walks to close 2025 with more than $112 billion locked in US spot ETFs, exchange reserves at a record low of 2.751 million BTC, and perpetual futures open interest of nearly $30 billion.

Bitcoin’s inability to reclaim $90,000 exposes a deep structural fracture that could trap investors during the next unwind

CryptoSlate - 20:15 Dec 20, 2025

Bitcoin’s inability to reclaim $90,000 is looking less like a debate about narratives and more like a test of market plumbing. For the better part of 2025, the surface story was institutional momentum.

Bitcoin’s ETF data is doing that annoying thing where it looks terrifying if you only read the headline.

The Bank of Japan tightened policy on Dec. 18, lifting its benchmark rate to 0.75%, the highest since 1995.
