Crypto News

As markets wound down, crypto spent the evening toggling between froth and fundamentals. On the froth side, Hyperliquid (HYPE) lit up timelines with the debut of its Hypurr NFT collection, a community gambit that airdropped high-value pieces to early users, spurred about 45 million dollars in trading volume, and nudged HYPE up roughly 5 percent to 47.23. The buzz rippled across the ecosystem as Cathie Wood likened Hyperliquid’s trajectory to Solana’s early sprint, even as she reiterated Bitcoin’s primacy in her broader thesis. Solana (SOL) itself caught a tailwind, jumping about 8 percent to 203 as onchain competition intensified and Aster’s fast rise grabbed attention. That Aster (ASTER) rise is not just narrative. The DEX posted more than 25 million dollars in protocol fees and 14.33 million dollars in trading fees in 24 hours, even surpassing Tether (USDT) in daily revenue, with a claimed 185 billion dollars in weekly trading volume. MrBeast added fuel with a 1.28 million dollar bu...

Markets limped into the evening with a broad risk-off tone. Bitcoin slipped under one hundred nine thousand US dollars and Ethereum fell below four thousand, dragging total crypto market value to about three point eight five trillion. Weak US data and chatter about a potential government shutdown put investors on the back foot, while spot bitcoin ETFs saw sizeable outflows and long-term holders continued to take profits. Record redemptions near three hundred sixty three million underscored a mood of caution and hinted at late-cycle fatigue for bitcoin (BTC). Even with the chill, the ETF machine kept humming. BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income fund built around covered calls, a yield play meant to complement its existing spot exposure. Bitwise pushed ahead with a spot Hyperliquid ETF to offer regulated access to the HYPE token (HYPE), even as the token’s price barely budged and the SEC delayed decisions on several other crypto funds. And in a potential sea change for the br...

Markets limped into the evening with Ethereum (ETH) still stuck below 4,000 as spot ETF outflows and a cautious macro backdrop kept a lid on momentum. Under the surface, exchange reserves for ETH fell to yearly lows and institutional interest stayed firm, echoing Standard Chartered’s longer range target of 7,500. Analyst Ted Pillows framed the day within crypto’s usual cadence of optimism, correction, and euphoria, and it felt like we are somewhere in the messy middle. Ethereum’s builders kept shipping regardless. Vitalik Buterin called out PeerDAS, a key piece of the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, as a way to dramatically reduce data bottlenecks for Layer 2s by verifying blocks without storing full data. On the investable side, REX Osprey rolled out the first US ETF tied to Ethereum staking, a signal that regulated wrappers around staking rewards are inching into the mainstream even as the broader market wobbles. Tokenization also took a step forward as SharpLink Gaming (SBET) said it will...

Markets limped into the evening still shaking off Monday’s spill, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE) trying to claw back ground even as commodities like gold outshined. Liquidations kept the tape jumpy and Ethereum looked vulnerable near the four thousand mark, but there is no shortage of bold calls. Michael Saylor reiterated his case for Bitcoin becoming a national digital reserve, and Tom Lee projected Ethereum as Wall Street’s preferred chain with a path toward five figures by next year. Dogecoin found some backbone after bouncing off support, with traders eyeing the thirty cent ceiling and whispering about a run toward fifty cents if macro winds turn friendly. On the policy front, the European Central Bank circled 2029 for a digital euro, prioritizing privacy guardrails and caps on holdings. In the United States, crypto edged further into politics as former California lawmaker Ian Calderon launched a 2026 gubernatorial bid with a pro Bitcoin platform. Kraken a...

As the sun sets on a packed day in crypto, the headlines split neatly between growing institutional momentum and a reminder that security risks still bite. The sharpest shock came from UXLINK (UXLINK), where a wallet breach involving theft and unauthorized minting triggered a seventy seven percent plunge and rattled confidence. The team says a token swap is coming to contain the damage, but the episode is already fueling calls for tighter security practices and fresh regulatory attention. Regulators, meanwhile, are moving with unusual speed. The SEC plans an innovation exemption by year end to help crypto firms bring products to market faster, and it approved Grayscale’s Ethereum ETFs under NYSE Arca’s new generic listing rules, streamlining a once sluggish process for spot products tied to Ethereum (ETH). The CFTC also opened the door to tokenized collateral, kicking off a program to let stablecoins support derivatives markets with input from major industry players. Big pipes are f...

Markets clocked out bruised tonight. Bitcoin (BTC) slid to around 112,000 and helped trigger roughly a billion dollars in long liquidations, part of a wider flush that erased about 151 billion in crypto market value and pushed total liquidations past 1.7 billion. Traders called it a necessary reset even as fear rose and claims of coordinated selling made the rounds. At the same time, macro winds could shift again soon: derivatives markets are pricing a high chance of an October Fed rate cut, and the last move sparked 1.9 billion in inflows to digital asset funds with Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) leading, setting the stage for choppy nights ahead rather than instant relief. Even as prices wobble, corporates keep filling their treasuries. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet bought 5,419 BTC for about 633 million, lifting its stack to 25,555 BTC and vaulting it to the fifth-largest corporate holder, another signal that boardrooms in Asia are leaning into Bitcoin as a diversification play. In the Unite...

If you were waiting for a signal, the market just flipped one on. The Federal Reserve trimmed rates by 25 basis points to 4.00-4.25 percent, and risk appetite followed. Analysts now put a 70 percent chance on Bitcoin (BTC) making new highs, even as ETFs saw a brief outflow earlier in the day. Cheaper money and more liquidity tend to trickle toward the risk end of the pool, and crypto is already wading in. Institutional doors opened wider. Poland’s Warsaw Stock Exchange launched its first Bitcoin ETF (BTC), while in the US the SEC greenlit Grayscale’s multi-token products and introduced generic listing standards designed to speed up spot crypto ETFs across major exchanges, including exposure to names like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (XRP). The momentum carried to Cboe, where a new XRP ETF (XRP) debuted with a record 37.7 million dollars in day-one volume, and Dogecoin’s first US spot ETF (DOGE) attracted strong opening-hour demand despite a price dip. On the p...

Crypto heads are heading into the evening with momentum on their side. Bitcoin (BTC) shook off its usual September slump with an 8 percent climb after the Fed rate cut, fueling talk of a strong fourth quarter and even new highs. The policy tailwind is colliding with a friendlier ETF backdrop: the SEC greenlit Grayscale’s multi-crypto fund for NYSE trading and loosened generic standards for spot crypto ETF listings, a shift that could speed up diversified access for mainstream investors. At the same time, the agency is still taking its time on some proposals, reminding markets the green light is not quite a free-for-all. The ETF drumbeat was loudest in the alt lane. REX-Osprey rolled out the first US-listed spot ETFs tied to XRP (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE), with DOGE jumping more than 8 percent on the news and analysts dusting off the perennial 1 dollar debate. XRP’s story was more layered: whales have been active, the token has held firm above key levels, and new traditional finance pro...

Crypto heads are settling in for a pivotal evening as markets brace for the Federal Reserve’s widely expected 25 basis point cut. Bitcoin (BTC) hovered near 115,000 while long dormant whales shuffled roughly 116 million worth of coins ahead of the decision, a not so subtle reminder that volatility can arrive on cue. Sentiment is split, with bears warning of a cycle peak and bulls calling for a fresh leg higher in both Bitcoin and ether (ETH). Even if easier policy lifts risk assets broadly, crypto’s recent underperformance versus equities has traders hedging their excitement. If tonight’s macro is the appetizer, XRP (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) supplied the main course. Rex Osprey is set to roll out spot ETFs for both on Thursday, opening the door to the first U.S. memecoin ETF and giving traditional investors a new on ramp to two of crypto’s most debated assets. The infrastructure is marching in step: CME Group plans options on Solana (SOL) and XRP futures, a nod to institutions demandi...

As the market heads into the evening, traders are bracing for the Federal Reserve’s next move while a fresh mix of policy pushes, institutional adoption, and on-chain milestones keeps crypto’s story unpredictable. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) held steady after a choppy session that saw broader declines across altcoins, even as rate cut speculation added a hint of optimism. If the Fed blinks, some strategists argue it could be rocket fuel, with calls that Bitcoin could press toward one hundred fifty thousand dollars if liquidity opens up. Inflows are telling their own story: Ethereum spot ETFs drew roughly 638 million dollars between September 8 and 12, led by products from Fidelity and BlackRock, showing real demand is there even as technicals flash caution. Not everyone is buying the bull case into year end. Citigroup sees Ethereum at about 4,300 dollars by December, a target below current levels despite the strong run this year, and warns that layer 2 activity has yet to translat...

Solana stole the spotlight into the close as institutional-sized bids poured in and a handful of corporate treasuries leaned into the ecosystem. Galaxy Digital reportedly snapped up more than 1.5 billion dollars of Solana (SOL) over the past five days, routing much of the flow through Coinbase and Binance and moving tokens into Fireblocks custody. Forward Industries followed with a 1.65 billion dollar Solana strategy, acquiring nearly 7 million SOL for staking and positioning itself as the largest publicly traded Solana treasury. Helius Medical Technologies said it is raising over 500 million dollars to build a Solana-focused reserve, sending its stock up more than 200 percent as it eyes staking and lending. Even the memecoin rails caught a bid, with the PUMP token (PUMP) tied to Solana’s Pump.fun launchpad hitting an all-time high as creator activity swelled and fees piled up. The net effect: Solana continues to attract big checks, new balance sheet buyers, and speculative energy all ...

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...

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...
