Why Crypto Startups Are Struggling to Attract VC Funding

Raising venture capital has become more challenging for cryptocurrency startups as investors pull back and tighten their criteria in a cooling market. Sami Start, CEO and founder of crypto infrastructure firm Transak, says the shift marks a clear departure from the previous boom cycle, when funding flowed more freely across the sector. Building on this, Start noted that venture firms are placing fewer bets and taking a more cautious approach. Rather than backing a wide range of ideas, investors are concentrating on businesses that demonstrate tangible demand and fit within existing financial systems. The broader downturn, which has erased roughly…

Cryptos Rally as Gulf States Express Willingness to Join Iran War

Could Bitcoin Be Decoupling from its Status as a Safe Haven?

Bitcoin is struggling to live up to its reputation as a safe-haven asset in 2026, as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz send oil prices sharply higher. Rather than moving independently, the crypto is tracking energy markets more closely, with a notable positive correlation of 0.68 with crude. The disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply, has sent shockwaves through financial markets. Analysts at Goldman Sachs revised their outlook earlier this week, expecting Brent crude to average around $110 through March and April. Prices have already surged, with Brent crossing…

Uncertainty Surrounds How the US Plans to Use $15B in Seized Crypto

Many victims struggle not only to reclaim their money but even to prompt investigations. Officials framed the seizure as a decisive move against exploitation.
