The crypto industry has found new ways to grow. Making money from them is another story

Coinbase, Robinhood and Circle are struggling to translate crypto industry expansion into stronger profits as weaker trading activity and declining reserve income pressure their latest earnings. Coinbase's transaction revenue fell 23% year over year to $590 million, while Circle's reserve income dropped 8% to $658 million despite USDC transaction volume climbing 49% to $13.9 trillion. Growing stablecoin adoption and prediction markets could support longer-term revenue diversification, but weaker trading volumes, shrinking margins and interest-rate sensitivity may continue pressuring crypto-related companies.

Peter Schiff Finds the “Final Pin” for the Bitcoin Bubble. Again

Bitcoin retreated toward $75,500 after surrendering its post-election gains, as a technology-stock selloff dragged down risk assets and renewed debate over the cryptocurrency's political exposure. BTC had climbed above $80,800 after the U.S. midterm elections, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $74.6 million in net inflows the following day, indicating continued institutional buying.

Persistent labor-market strength could reinforce rate-hike expectations and add further pressure to Bitcoin.

BIS research finds that fiat currencies have a median lifespan of just 33 years, with roughly 70% of 568 currencies studied since 1850 eventually discontinued, giving Bitcoin advocates a new argument about fiat currency durability. However, the BIS does not connect this research to Bitcoin and separately argues that Bitcoin lacks the central-bank backing and credit elasticity needed to function as money at scale. The contrasting findings could intensify debate over fiat currency sustainability and Bitcoin's long-term role as an alternative monetary asset, despite the BIS's institutional skepticism.
