The race for the leading crypto to buy right now is intensifying, and three names are dominating serious buyer conversations: Solana, Hyperliquid, and BlockDAG. Solana continues to anchor headlines with strong transaction activity and resilient support zones. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid is carving out a niche in on-chain derivatives, with institutional attention slowly building.But BlockDAG (BDAG) isn’t simply riding market cycles; it’s engineering a launch sequence. With BDAG available at just $0.000125 during its Final Access window, and a 12-hour early trading advantage before global markets go live, the structure itself creates asymmetry. While established players fight to defend support levels and reclaim…

Today, it often means something else entirely.Modern founders and creators are expected to be marketers, sales teams, community managers, brand strategists and distribution experts – sometimes all at once.For millions of small business owners and independent entrepreneurs, the challenge is not just growing their companies. It is doing so without the staff, budget or connections traditionally required to scale.A newly launched artificial intelligence platform called onSpark is entering that landscape with a different idea about how businesses grow. Instead of helping entrepreneurs manage more tasks, it…

European Central Bank President, Christine Lagarde, runs an institution that trades in certainty, and she does it in a moment that rewards ambiguity.Earlier this week, the story around her took on a familiar European shape: official silence wrapped around very specific timing.The FT reported Lagarde is expected to step down before her term ends in October 2027, with the timetable linked to France’s April 2027 presidential election and the succession politics that follow. Markets watch those puzzles closely because the next name at the microphone can change the texture of every decision.The ECB, via a spokesperson, kept the public line…

The US Supreme Court recently blocked President Donald Trump from using emergency powers to impose broad global tariffs. However, Trump quickly responded by announcing new tariffs under a different legal authority.

Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being… pic.twitter.com/B3bv5f5KW1— The White House (@WhiteHouse) February 20, 2026…

The catalyst was a chart shared on X that labels bitcoin “unsecured crypto exposure” with a “typical risk weight” of 1,250% under an “Illustrative Basel III-Style” standardized approach, alongside 0% weights for cash, physical gold, and US Treasuries. A Capital Penalty For Bank Bitcoin Exposure Le framed the issue…

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to hold billions in assets despite bitcoin’s brutal price crash, but that staying power isn’t necessarily the bullish signal that many have come to believe.According to one analyst, the resilience stems from market makers and arbitrageurs who trade in and out rather than die-hard long-term holders betting on price appreciation.Bitcoin’s BTC$67,937.65 price peaked above $126,000 in early October and recently crashed to nearly $60,000. Despite the price halving, the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. have cumulatively registered just $8.5 billion in net outflows. These funds still hold $85 billion in assets under…
