Chinese Crime Networks Implicated in Crypto Crimes Worth $16bn, Report Finds

Chinese crime networks have been linked to massive cryptocurrency crimes worth about $16 billion, according to a new report by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis. The findings highlight how organized criminal groups are increasingly using digital currencies to move illegal money across borders while avoiding traditional banking systems. The report shows that Chinese-language money laundering networks handled around $16.1 billion in illicit crypto transactions in 2025. This accounts for nearly one-fifth of all global crypto crime during that year, making these networks one of the most powerful forces in the illegal crypto economy. The scale of the operations shows that this…

TikTok confirmed that a power outage at one of its U.S. data center partner sites caused serious disruptions. Many creators reported seeing zero views on videos that were clearly…

Why Men Are Finding it Hard to Cope with Online Dating

Online dating was supposed to make love easier. A phone, a few photos, some messages, and suddenly the world of romance would open up. For many men today, it feels like the opposite has happened. Dating apps have become a place of confusion, stress, and quiet loneliness, and many men are struggling to cope with it. One major reason is the way dating apps are built. They rely on algorithms that rank, filter, and sort people. Men often feel like they are being constantly judged without knowing why. You can send messages, update your profile, and try your best, yet…

Macro Uncertainty Triggers Massive Crypto Liquidations

Macro uncertainty has once again shaken the crypto market, triggering massive liquidations and reminding investors how closely digital assets are tied to global events. At the start of the week, crypto prices fell sharply as fear spread across financial markets.

Bitcoin Miners Are Diversifying the Uses of Their Computing Power

Bitcoin mining was once seen as a single-purpose business. Companies built huge data centers filled with specialized computers, all focused on verifying transactions and creating new bitcoins. Today, that picture is changing. Many bitcoin mining companies are finding new ways to use their powerful computing systems, and this shift could reshape the future of the industry. At the center of this change is artificial intelligence. The same facilities that mine bitcoin can also support AI workloads. These workloads include data processing, machine learning, and other tasks that require large amounts of computing power. As demand for AI continues to grow…

US Banks Feel the Pressure of Rising Operational Costs

The U.S. banking sector is entering 2026 under growing pressure as rising operational costs begin to eat deeply into profits. For years, high interest rates made it easier for banks to grow earnings. That period is now fading. What remains is a tougher environment where controlling expenses has become just as important as generating revenue. One of the biggest challenges banks face is shrinking net interest margins. After the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates in late 2025, loan yields adjusted quickly. Deposit costs, however, have remained stubbornly high. Customers are slow to accept lower interest on their savings, forcing…

Bybit Says Macro Factors Will Reshape Cryptocurrency Landscape in 2026

The cryptocurrency market is moving into a new phase, and Bybit believes the forces shaping it in 2026 will be very different from what traders are used to. In its latest outlook, the crypto exchange explains that large economic trends, government policy, and institutional activity are now becoming more important than the old patterns that once guided the market. For many years, crypto investors relied heavily on the four-year cycle linked to Bitcoin halving events. These cycles often followed a familiar rhythm of sharp rises, major crashes, and long recovery periods. According to Bybit, this pattern still matters, but its…
