Markets limped into the evening after a day of violent repricing that took Bitcoin (BTC) to its lowest since July and knocked Ethereum (ETH) and XRP (XRP) roughly 5 percent. Liquidations piled up as risk came off, even while narrative currents continued to shift toward Ethereum’s growing role as financial infrastructure. Some desks are already eyeing a path back to 5,000 for ETH as new contract activity climbs, but for now the tone is cautious. XRP spent the day pressing key support near 2.80 to 2.88, failing to reclaim 3.00 despite upbeat projections calling for a potential September breakout toward 5 to 13 if momentum returns. Amid the chop, institutional flows kept building in corners of the market that have a story to tell. DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) added 77 million dollars of Solana (SOL), lifting its stash to more than 1.83 million SOL now valued around 371 million dollars. That buy cements the firm as one of the chain’s larger institutional holders and underscores the steady...

Crypto winds shifted into the evening with Bitcoin (BTC) cooling and Ethereum (ETH) stealing the spotlight. After printing a record above 124,000, BTC struggled to keep altitude, hovering near 110,000 to 112,000 as selling pressure weighed on momentum. ETH, meanwhile, drew fresh institutional attention as U.S. Ethereum ETFs absorbed 455 million of inflows on Aug. 26, with BlackRock and Fidelity hoovering up supply. VanEck CEO Jan van Eck called ETH Wall Streets preferred token and urged banks to adopt blockchain for stablecoin transfers within a year, adding fuel to the narrative that Ethereum is outpacing Bitcoin in real-world traction. Regulators made waves as the CFTC clarified that U.S. traders can legally access offshore exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX under a new framework, opening pathways for foreign venues to serve Americans. In Hong Kong, geopolitical ripples surfaced when officials withdrew from Bitcoin events tied to concerns around Eric Trump. Stateside, a differen...

Markets limped into the evening with a split screen: Bitcoin (BTC) remains heavy, while Ethereum (ETH) found fresh cheer from Wall Street and chart-watchers alike. After slipping more than 7 percent in recent weeks and losing key supports, bitcoin traders stayed cautious despite improving exchange data. Ether, meanwhile, got a double dose of optimism. Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick argued both ETH and corporate treasuries holding it are undervalued, floating a 7,500 year-end target on the back of staking yields and absorption from treasuries and ETFs. Fundstrat added fuel, calling for a near-term push toward 5,500 and even a run to 10,000 to 12,000 by year end if momentum snaps back. Under the hood, stablecoin flows hinted that dip buyers are circling. Binance saw more than 1.6 billion dollars of stablecoin deposits, a classic sign of dry powder returning. At the same time, on-chain data showed ETH withdrawals trending to cold storage, a signal of longer-term conviction even as s...

A bruising weekend for crypto saw a euphoric spike morph into a hard reset. Whales leaned into selling, liquidity thinned, and cascading leverage did the rest. More than 157,000 traders were wiped out for roughly 806.63 million dollars in 24 hours, as Bitcoin (BTC) weakness dragged the complex lower and Ethereum (ETH) whipsawed from a fresh record toward a sharp intraday slide. Futures flows amplified the move, reminding everyone that when positioning is crowded, volatility arrives fast. Even as outflows from spot ETFs and large wallet sales pressured Bitcoin, corporate buyers kept buying the dip. Strategy added 3,081 BTC at an estimated 356.9 million dollars and now claims roughly 3 percent of total supply, a milestone that underscores how corporate treasuries have become a structural bid for the asset class, even if the stock market and crypto prices wobble. Retail’s growing sway over ETF flows added another wrinkle to today’s price action. Ethereum’s tape was the story within the ...

As markets dimmed, the story of the evening was rotation and rails. Bitcoin cooled as fees slipped to levels not seen since 2011, while capital and mindshare shifted toward Ethereum, tokenized assets, and a fresh wave of treasury plays across Asia and the U.S. The day’s biggest building block came from Tokyo. SBI Group teamed up with Chainlink (LINK) to bring tokenized real-world assets and blockchain data tools to banks across Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific. The tie-up lands as tokenization climbs the priority list for global finance, with forecasts that onchain RWAs could reach into the trillions by 2030. In a supportive backdrop, Japan’s finance minister said crypto can aid diversified portfolios and pledged to foster a friendlier trading environment, signaling that institutional rails in the region are only getting sturdier. Bitcoin (BTC) remained a policy and treasury story. The Philippines is weighing a bill to create a 10,000 BTC sovereign reserve locked for 20 years as a ...

Another busy evening in cryptoland, where policy momentum and market conviction shared the spotlight. In Washington, the CFTC kicked off a fresh phase of its crypto sprint alongside the SEC, opening an expanded public consultation through next year to shape oversight across trading venues, custody, and stablecoins. On Capitol Hill, the House tucked an anti-CBDC provision into a defense bill, signaling Congress’s skepticism toward a Fed-issued digital dollar. And in a notable shift for developers, the Department of Justice clarified that writing code, absent criminal intent or control, is not a crime, a post–Tornado Cash reminder with big implications for open-source builders and privacy tooling (TORN). The regulatory drumbeat is global. European officials are fast-tracking digital euro plans and are even weighing public rails such as Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) to keep pace on cross-border payments. Australia tightened the screws, with AUSTRAC ordering Binance Australia to appoint...

Stablecoins in the spotlight as markets wobble into Jackson Hole Crypto closed on a cautious note as traders looked to Jackson Hole for direction. Bitcoin (BTC) slipped to a 17-day low below 113,000 while Ethereum (ETH) softened alongside broader risk assets. Even with weaker capital inflows, analysts argued the four-year cycle remains intact and the real peak may still lie ahead, setting a wary but patient tone. Pockets of strength emerged in altcoins. Exchange token OKB (OKB) led a sharp rebound, jumping more than 51 percent after a massive supply burn, though signals point to elevated volatility. BNB (BNB) showed relative resilience after August’s pullback, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) flashed mixed reads: lower trading volume and burn activity on one side, firmer on-chain engagement and defended support on the other. Celebrity crypto stole headlines as Ye launched the YZY memecoin on Solana (SOL), teasing YZY Money, Ye Pay, and YZY Card. The token (YZY) rocketed to a multibillio...

Another busy close to the day in crypto as policy signals, payments rails, and platform shakeups collided with choppy markets. Bitcoin (BTC) dipped below 113,000 before clawing back toward the mid 114,000s, while attention swung to Ethereum (ETH) flows, stablecoin policy, and a fresh round of corporate dealmaking that set the tone for the week ahead. In a win for hacked users, WazirX (WRX) secured 95.7 percent creditor approval for its restructuring plan, covering about 206.9 million dollars in claims tied to a 230 million dollar cyberattack. The blueprint now heads to Singapore’s High Court, with the exchange aiming to begin returning funds to affected users later this year. The payments story took a leap forward as SoFi partnered with Lightspark to bring Bitcoin’s Lightning Network into real-time international remittances. The bank’s move positions it to chase share in a 740 billion dollar money-transfer market while turning prior regulatory scars into a first-mover edge on Lightni...

Crypto closed out the day heavy, with the market nursing losses and bracing for macro signals. Bitcoin (BTC) slid from a fresh all-time high near 124 thousand to roughly 115 thousand as traders debated whether this is a breather before another leg up or the start of a deeper pullback. Flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs remain the obsession, with institutions now anchoring a meaningful share of exposure and overshadowing interest in Ethereum ETFs. Ether (ETH) was choppy as well, consolidating between 3,900 and 4,400 amid record short interest, a two billion dollar long liquidation overhang around 4,200, and nearly 200 million dollars in ETF outflows after a record inflow streak. Sentiment sits squarely in neutral, which feels about right given the crosscurrents. That softness rippled into NFTs, where market cap shed about 1.2 billion dollars to 8.1 billion as blue chips like CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club gave back ground alongside Ether’s pullback. Broader altcoin tone leaned risk-off...

Crypto Talkies Regulators and rails shared the spotlight as Asia moved to formalize stablecoins, Washington asked for public input, and one of crypto’s fastest blockchains got even faster. Markets churned through it all, with Ethereum and a handful of altcoins flashing momentum while dog coins and some large caps wrestled with headline risk. Japan’s Financial Services Agency is set to approve JPYC as the country’s first yen-pegged stablecoin this fall, opening the door for fintech firms to legally issue stablecoins and potentially nudging demand for Japanese government bonds. South Korea is on a parallel track, preparing a won-pegged stablecoin framework with an October bill submission, part of a broader push to enhance monetary sovereignty. On the ground, Jeju City continued its crackdown on tax evasion by seizing crypto from residents with unpaid taxes, a tangible sign of how digital assets are being woven into everyday enforcement. In Hong Kong, CMB International Securities launch...

Markets limped into the evening after a hotter-than-expected inflation print sparked more than 1 billion dollars in crypto liquidations and shaved roughly 133 billion dollars off total market cap. Even so, rate cut hopes are not dead, and the day was far from risk-off across the board. Coinbase flagged early signs of an altcoin season as Bitcoin dominance slipped and non-Bitcoin names rallied over 50 percent since July, setting the stage for a possible rotation from Bitcoin (BTC) into the broader market by September. If leadership is changing, Ethereum (ETH) is making its case. Spot Ether ETFs in the United States have now pulled in more than 3 billion dollars in net inflows in the first half of August, with daily pace near 700 million dollars and assets under management cresting new highs. That demand helped push Ethereum’s market cap to a record and left all holders in profit, according to several trackers, even as performance still zigzags versus Bitcoin. The broader alt complex is...

Crypto got its groove back for most of the day, adding about one hundred nine billion dollars in value as traders leaned into the idea that a friendlier Federal Reserve is getting closer. Bitcoin (BTC) held near record levels while Ethereum (ETH) did the heavy lifting, buoyed by brisk futures activity and a flood of demand from funds and treasuries. Crypto focused ETFs saw another wave of inflows, with Ethereum leading and Bitcoin close behind, reinforcing the view that institutional momentum is now a feature, not a bug. The market mood was unmistakably risk on, with signs of an emerging altseason. Bitcoin dominance dipped below sixty percent as search interest for altcoin hit a five year high, and capital rotated into higher beta names. Dogecoin (DOGE) benefited from whale accumulation and surging open interest, nudging up toward a quarter dollar and flashing charts that optimists say have more room to run. OKB (OKB) stole headlines with a massive single day jump after OKX announced ...

Markets headed into the evening with a risk-on glow. Ethereum (ETH) pushed toward the 5,000 mark as open interest topped new highs and shorts got clipped, a move reinforced by Standard Chartered lifting its target to 7,500 by end of 2025 and 25,000 by 2028. Solana (SOL) cleared 200 on strong institutional bid and tokenization buzz, while Binance Coin (BNB) ripped above 850 as the altcoin tide lifted most boats. Exchanges and platforms found their own tailwinds. OKX permanently burned 65.26 million OKB and capped supply at 21 million, a bold tokenomics reset that sent OKB flying. Bullish made a splashy NYSE debut, raising 1.1 billion at a roughly 5.4 billion valuation, and eToro beat expectations with crypto trading driving the lion share of revenue. Not every equity tie-in popped, though. Circle shares slipped after a 10 million share offering announcement, tempering earlier gains. Meme season refused to go quietly. Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed about 22 percent on the week as whales and i...

Wall Street’s crypto story closed on a high note with Ethereum’s star turn and a fresh wave of institutional appetite. Ether (ETH) pushed past 4300, set fresh highs in Japan and South Korea, and rode a surge in ETF inflows that helped drive more than 572 million into digital asset products. With rate-cut hopes percolating and regulatory signals turning clearer, crypto ETFs again stole the show, led by BlackRock’s dominance and net inflow records that are increasingly reshaping the growth narrative away from old-school benchmarks. Whales leaned in, too: one buyer reportedly scooped nearly 1 billion dollars worth of ETH in a week as Ethereum’s market cap vaulted past Mastercard and price gains since April topped 200 percent. Not everything was smooth, though, with profit-taking by short-term holders adding a touch of chop to the after-hours tape. Bitcoin’s spotlight was not dimmed. Trump Media advanced plans for a new Bitcoin ETF expected to hold the asset directly, the Truth Social Bit...
