Crypto Talkies September 12th 2025

Markets headed into the evening with a risk-on glow. Ethereum (ETH) steadied around the mid-4300s as whales added more than 450,000 coins and staking activity climbed, fueling talk of a break toward 7500. Solana (SOL) stole the show with a fresh push to record territory near 240 and a 126 billion market cap, helped by surging futures activity and DeFi growth. Galaxy Digital signaled confidence with about 536 million of SOL purchases, even as FTX and Alameda redeemed roughly 192,000 SOL worth nearly 45 million as part of ongoing liquidations, leaving more than 4.18 million SOL still staked. Hype about an approaching altseason helped carry the broader tape, with Bitcoin (BTC) holding a critical range as hashrate and difficulty hit all-time highs, even amid lighter ETF inflows and profit taking. ETF tea leaves brewed a strong aroma, if not a clear verdict. Fidelitys proposed Solana ETF, along with Canarys HBAR and XRP funds, appeared on the DTCC website, a procedural step that excited tr...

Crypto Talkies September 11th 2025

Markets shook off a jittery start and finished the day in risk-on mode. A cooler read on producer prices followed by a mixed CPI print helped nudge crypto higher, with Bitcoin (BTC) whipsawing but trying to hold above 114,000 and Ethereum (ETH) reclaiming bids. Total market cap edged toward 3.95 trillion as traders rotated into higher beta names and altcoin momentum hit its strongest stretch since late last year. XRP (XRP) stole headlines by clearing 3 dollars on surging volume and fresh institutional flows, as traders leaned into optimism around pending ETF decisions and a potential year-end push. BNB (BNB) ripped to new all-time highs above 900, fueled in part by deepening ties between Binance and Franklin Templeton, and chatter that a four-digit print may be in view if short liquidations persist. Worldcoin (WLD) doubled after a high-profile investment and an Upbit listing, reminding everyone that liquidity plus narrative still moves markets. Layer-1s were back in the spotlight. Av...

Crypto Talkies September 10th 2025

A calm finish to a choppy day left crypto majors in wait-and-see mode, even as headlines swung between rally fuel and regulatory brakes. XRP (XRP) stole the spotlight early, vaulting past 3 dollars on rumors of a major Apple purchase before stalling out as institutional selling met still-weak adoption metrics. Traders leaning into ETF optimism helped revive sentiment later, but the whipsaw underscored the fragility of momentum in the absence of deeper spot demand. Washington kept the market guessing. The SEC kicked decisions on Bitwise’s Dogecoin and Grayscale’s Hedera ETF filings down the road to November 12, part of a broader wave of delays that also touched applications tied to Solana, XRP, and even a marquee Ethereum product from BlackRock. That backlog collided with fresh excitement around a first US Dogecoin ETF. While the launch buzzed, analysts were quick to warn that DOGE (DOGE) can reverse just as quickly as it pops. Even so, price action looked constructive after a break ab...

Crypto Talkies September 9th 2025

Crypto’s evening edition brings a mix of bullish charts, regulatory chess moves, and a flurry of stablecoin and NFT headline-makers. Momentum was the word of the day on the majors while institutions kept laying rails for a broader onramp. XRP (XRP) kept traders leaning forward, consolidating around 2.87 in a symmetrical triangle as speculation around a potential ETF and solid volume fueled talk of a breakout. Bulls are watching 3.10 to 3.40, with a pullback zone near 2.40 to 2.75 if momentum fades. Off the chart, Ripple deepened its European footprint, partnering with BBVA for crypto custody in Spain and notching a real-world payments win as VivoPower’s Tembo adopted Ripple USD (RLUSD) for faster, cheaper cross-border transactions. Cardano (ADA) extended its rebound, lifting past 0.85 and flirting with a textbook breakout from a Falling Wedge while touting a full decentralization milestone. Analysts have eyes on 1.02 as the next test, with sentiment firming alongside a reclaimed 30 b...

Crypto Talkies September 8th 2025

Crypto closed the day with a tug of war between risk appetite and risk management. Ethereum’s soul-searching took center stage even as institutions kept pushing tokenization forward and traders chased momentum in pockets from Worldcoin to memecoins. A Messari researcher reignited debate around Ethereum (ETH), arguing the network is fading despite a recent price run, citing a 44 percent revenue decline and thinner fees. The market seemed to agree, at least today, with ETH struggling below 4,400 and technicians eyeing resistance near 4,900 and the risk of a pullback toward 3,500. Yet the data is not one-way. Ethereum’s on-chain dollar base keeps swelling, with stablecoin supply on ETH hitting a record 165 billion and clocking 5 billion of inflows in a week, a reminder that DeFi gravity still sits atop Ethereum even as fee revenue cools. Institutions are planting deeper roots too. Fidelity launched the Fidelity Digital Interest Token on Ethereum, a tokenized version of its Treasury money...
