Crypto markets limped into the evening, but that didn’t stop regulators, institutions, and a few defi die-hards from pushing the industry into its next chapter. Prices are red almost everywhere, yet the building continues at full speed — and in some corners, the risk-taking is getting louder, not softer. Let’s start with the elephant in every portfolio: Bitcoin (BTC). After a 4 percent intraday dip and a bruising 9.7 percent monthly slide, BTC clawed back above the six-figure mark around $102,100. Sentiment is about as cheerful as a tax audit, with fear gauges flashing extreme. Some analysts argue this kind of despair is classic bottoming behavior, but the narrative is messy: the usual post-halving rhythm looks “off,” mining stocks are sliding, and U.S. ETF demand has cooled just as macro uncertainty ramps up. Even so, long-term holders appear stubbornly unbothered. That hasn’t stopped the headlines from finding a bullish cast. Luxembourg just committed 1 percent of its sovereign wea...

Sundown brought a welcome plot twist in Washington. After 43 days, the government reopened as the President signed a funding bill, easing macro jitters and nudging crypto a hair greener. Bitcoin (BTC) held a choppy range through the day, whipsawing between the low 100k band and a brief trip below 100k as panic selling flared, before stabilizing on a narrowly averted shutdown and mixed jobs data signals. The crosscurrents matched the tape: long term holders unloaded a major stash in recent weeks while whales quietly accumulated, and Morgan Stanley advised investors to take some chips off the table heading into what it calls crypto’s fall season. If there was a star of the session, it was XRP (XRP). Nasdaq greenlit and listed Canary Capital’s XRP ETF, trading as XRPC (XRPC), and the debut drew fast hands, crossing 26 million in its first 30 minutes. The launch amplified the narrative around institutional access to XRP and, by some estimates, added a hefty sum to its market cap as trader...

Crypto did not wait for the weekend. After a choppy session that saw the broader market slip about four percent, the evening brought a steady drumbeat of real world adoption, policy moves, and a few flashpoints of volatility. On the institutional rails, JPMorgan lit up its private blockchain with JPM Coin, giving big clients instant dollar transfers and a signal that Wall Street is building in public view. Visa leaned in with a pilot for direct USDC payouts to wallets, aiming at creators and gig workers and the cross border workflows that have long needed an upgrade. Coinbase chose Singapore for the first international launch of Coinbase Business, a USDC powered toolkit for startups. And Square flipped on Bitcoin payments for more than four million merchants worldwide, making it easier for consumers to spend BTC at the point of sale and for merchants to choose settlement flows that fit their risk. Exchange traded products and tokenization stole a share of the spotlight. Bitwise’s Cha...

Markets went into the evening on a sturdier footing as Washington edged past the shutdown standoff and Bitcoin (BTC) punched through 106,000. The relief rally set the tone, though cross currents kept traders honest. Ether (ETH) reclaimed the 3,400 neighborhood on strong spot buying and growing whale accumulation, yet a late fade near resistance reminded everyone that breakouts still need follow-through. Solana ETFs logged a 10th straight day of inflows, pulling in more than 340 million and signaling that institutional appetite for diversification beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum remains alive. The alt tape delivered plenty of heat. Shiba Inu (SHIB) stoked hopes of a larger move with an eye-popping burn rate and a break from accumulation, feeding the 200 percent rally chatter as technicians point toward layered resistance above. Zcash (ZEC) has been the rocket of the week with a surge north of 700 percent, but it is flashing overbought and vulnerable to a sharp pullback if momentum cools. D...

Crypto closed the day on a high note as policy headlines and fresh liquidity hopes juiced risk appetite. Markets leaned into a proposed $2,000 tariff dividend floated by President Trump, a potential cash splash for Americans that, if greenlit by the Supreme Court, could funnel new dollars toward digital assets. Add in signs that the prolonged government shutdown may be ending and chatter of a broader U.S. liquidity boost near $500 billion, and you get a bid-heavy tape: Bitcoin (BTC) pushed past 105,000 to 106,000 at the highs, Ethereum (ETH) climbed more than 7 percent, and total crypto market value rose nearly 5 percent. Regulatory clarity added fuel. The U.S. Treasury and IRS opened the door for crypto exchange-traded products to stake assets and share rewards with investors, easing a long-standing legal and tax question that had kept issuers on the sidelines. Meanwhile the CFTC, under acting chair Caroline Pham, is in talks with exchanges to bring leveraged spot crypto products to ...

Crypto wound down the day with a mixed tape and a cautious tone. The global market value slipped about seven tenths of a percent to roughly 3.49 trillion, while Bitcoin (BTC) held near 101,553 and sentiment drifted toward fear. Yet beneath the surface, institutional currents kept strengthening, hinting that the evening’s mood may not reflect the longer arc. Spot and futures products told that story. After a rough stretch, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs drew renewed inflows by Thursday, with big issuers helping reverse the outflow trend, and Solana funds continued to attract steady interest. A Schwab survey found nearly half of ETF investors plan to buy crypto ETFs, putting them on par with bond ETFs in investor intent, and a separate look at hedge funds showed more than half are now participating in crypto despite volatility. Kazakhstan added a macro twist, outlining a national crypto reserve fund of up to 1 billion built from seized assets and ETFs by early 2026, a diversification play away ...
