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...

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’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 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...

Markets are closing out the day with a familiar September mood: cautious, twitchy, but not without bright spots. Bitcoin (BTC) slipped earlier in the month, even dipping below 110,000, but a softer dollar and rising odds of rate cuts gave crypto a late-day tailwind. Exchange reserves continue to fall and October seasonality has a reputation for kinder price action, so sentiment ends mixed but leaning constructive. Institutional signals were loud. Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. is set to join the S and P 500, hauling nearly 70 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) into the index orbit and further normalizing crypto as a treasury asset. On the other end of the spectrum, American Bitcoin’s new listing pop faded fast, with shares reversing below the IPO price, a reminder that public market crypto bets can be as volatile as the underlying coins. Regulators stayed busy too. The SEC and CFTC are planning a joint roundtable to harmonize crypto rules, even as the SEC kicked a decision on the 21Shares spot ...

Crypto closed the day with politics and product launches colliding in equal measure. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump linked venture, made a splashy debut with sharp swings and an implied valuation near five point six billion dollars. The rollout is already rippling into policy chatter, with observers warning that the project’s political baggage could complicate a Senate market structure push. Late in the day, WLFI also blacklisted wallets tied to Justin Sun of Tron (TRX), freezing billions in tokens after a nine million transfer raised eyebrows. Sun denied any intent to sell, but the standoff added fresh drama to an already volatile premiere. Policy momentum did not stop there. Ukraine advanced a bill to legalize crypto and set clear tax treatment, including income and military taxes on digital assets, signaling a pragmatic path to revenue and legitimacy amid wartime rebuilding. In the United States, Polymarket won a green light to legally operate again after a three year ...

As the sun sets on a choppy kickoff to September, crypto closes the day with a split screen narrative. Ethereum wrestled with fresh supply overhang even as restaking and institutional-grade infrastructure drew new capital, DeFi perps set records, and tokenized assets marched further into the mainstream. Meanwhile, traditional finance kept warming to Bitcoin and regulators stayed busy on both the enforcement and policymaking fronts. Ethereum took center stage after word that the Ethereum Foundation plans to sell a sizable tranche of ETH to fund research, development, and community grants, adding to near-term selling pressure (ETH). Offsetting some of that gloom, ETHZilla committed 100 million dollars to EtherFi to pursue higher yields via liquid restaking, its first DeFi integration and a clear signal that restaking is moving up the priority list for capital allocators (ETH). In parallel, Etherealize secured 40 million dollars from blue chip crypto funds to build privacy-enhanced tradi...

As markets wound down, the safe haven baton looked firmly in gold’s hand. Fresh comments from Donald Trump helped push the metal to record highs while Bitcoin [BTC] slipped to a two month low, a reminder that the digital gold narrative still has to contend with the original. That tension did not stop a notable rotation into crypto risk elsewhere. In August, South Korean retail investors unloaded 657 million dollars of Tesla shares and pivoted toward crypto related names, part of a 12 billion dollar surge into US listed crypto companies this year. The bridge between tech and tokens is tightening too, with Coinbase set to launch a Mag7 plus Crypto Equity Index Futures product later this month, bundling mega cap tech with Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure in a single trade. Tokenization moved further into the spotlight. Kraken and Backed revealed xStocks, tokenized versions of major equities like Nvidia and Tesla on Ethereum [ETH], aiming to pull traditional stocks into DeFi rails. Europe’s ...

As markets wind down, crypto served up speed, scale, and a healthy dose of controversy. Bitcoin (BTC) enters September with its usual hoodoo hanging overhead, down 7 percent in August and watching this week’s U.S. data for a lifeline. Ethereum (ETH), by contrast, got a jolt of optimism after Consensys CEO and Ethereum cofounder Joseph Lubin said ETH could 100x as Wall Street bakes staking and DeFi into its plumbing. Big claim, but it lands at a moment when institutional rails and real-world assets are moving on-chain in visible ways. Case in point: China’s Futian Investment issued a 500 million yuan digital bond on Ethereum (ETH), the first public RWA bond of its kind, a milestone for regulated finance meeting public blockchains. In Japan, Japan Post Bank mapped out a 2026 launch for DCJPY, pitching efficiency upgrades to domestic financial infrastructure. And Sonic Labs won community approval for a $200 million push into U.S. capital markets, including native S tokens (S) and an exch...

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...
