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. This drop led to more than $550 million in liquidations, mostly from traders who were betting that prices would continue to rise. Bitcoin and Ethereum were hit hardest. After moving in a narrow range over the weekend, prices slid during early Asian trading hours. Bitcoin briefly fell to around $86,000, while Ethereum dropped toward the $2,700 range. These sudden moves…

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.

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.

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…

Survey Shows Global South is Warming Up to Chinese Clean Technology

A new global survey shows that many countries in the Global South are becoming more open to using clean technology from China.

One of the main reasons for this growing acceptance is cost. Chinese companies are able to produce solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electric vehicles at much lower prices than many…
