Tether’s new stablecoin, USAT, could pose the first serious challenge to Circle’s (CRCL) USDC in the U.S. market, analysts say — if it can win over institutions.Launched in partnership with federally chartered bank Anchorage Digital and Cantor Fitzgerald, USAT is Tether’s first attempt at a U.S.-regulated dollar token aimed at institutional users.Tether’s flagship stablecoin, the $186 billion USDT, dominates global crypto trading and emerging markets. But USAT enters a more crowded and compliance-driven arena in the U.S. where Circle has long positioned USDC as the go-to choice for banks, fintechs and exchanges operating under U.S. oversight.

CoinShares found that sentiment hasn’t recovered since October 10, 2025, as investors reduced exposure across major cryptocurrencies. Investors pulled $1.73 billion from digital asset funds, in what appears to be the heaviest outflows since mid-November 2025.

Weak price action, fading expectations of near-term rate cuts, and disappointment that crypto hasn’t acted as a hedge against debasement appear to be important drivers, according to the latest edition of CoinShares’s Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report. Bitcoin Leads the Selloff Bitcoin funds experienced heavy withdrawals of $1.09 billion…

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) has traded in a closed gap between $0.10 & $0.12 for the past seven days, but the technical setup implies a retest of sub-$0.10 territory is next. This comes as the social sentiment for HBAR is hitting quarterly lows, but that might not be a problem if whales show extended support in accumulating the token.However, that’s currently not the case – the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is gradually dipping on both daily and 4-hour HBAR price charts. While this does not constitute an immense sell-off by largest HBAR investors, it doesn’t show any confidence in $0.10 price…

When Kraken announced its acquisition of Breakout in September 2025, it sent a clear signal to the cryptocurrency industry: prop trading has arrived. The deal marked the first time a major cryptocurrency exchange entered the proprietary trading space directly, combining Kraken’s institutional-grade infrastructure with Breakout’s evaluation-based funding model.“Breakout gives us a way to allocate capital based on proof of skill rather than access to capital itself,” said Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s co-CEO. “In a world that is rapidly shifting from who you know to what you know, we want to build systems that reward demonstrated performance, not pedigree.”The acquisition reflects a…

It drops to 0% if he doesn’t play and lets the weak athlete win,” Rochard said about BTC’s current lack of use as a method of payment.

A growing number of analysts believe Ethereum’s current price action is being misunderstood. Although frustration is growing due to Ethereum’s inability to hold above $3,000, some technical analysts are quick to point out that the structure forming beneath the surface tells a very different story.
