A 32-Bitcoin sale shouldn’t matter much when a company holds 843,706 BTC. Yet here we are.

The amount represented only a tiny fraction of its treasury, …

The Bitcoin price fell hard on Tuesday, hitting $67,289—its lowest level since April—reshaping sentiment toward a more bearish outlook as bulls lose key support zones. CoinGecko data shows the selloff isn’t isolated to one timeframe. Bitcoin has retraced across all-time horizons, reflecting widespread bearish sentiment and persistent selling pressure. The Bitcoin price is down about 6% over the last 24 hours and roughly 15% on the monthly timeframe. After the drop, Bitcoin is around 47% below its all-time highs of $126,000 set during last year’s rally. What’s Next For The Bitcoin Price? On X (previously Twitter), market analyst Ali Martinez argued that the Bitcoin price has broken below several major levels that traders typically use as a line in the sand. Martinez pointed to the loss of channel support, the loss of the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), and the move below the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level around $71,300. Related Reading: Bullish Shift For TON: Price Breaks Above $2 Following Telegram CEO’s Gram News The analyst said that once all three were lost, the odds of downside acceleration rose sharply, pointing to $65,000 as the next likely move. From current levels, that potential retrace would mean an additional pullback of about 3.4%. BTC To $48,000 By September Market expert Nonzee claimed “history is repeating itself,” describing a bear-trap pattern that previously went from $97,000 to $83,000, and then the expert charted a continuation of the crash for the Bitcoin price with another leg: $65,000, then $61,000, $58,000, $55,000 and a potential bottom at around $48,000.

Short Bitcoin price bounces may happen, but he argued that waiting for a full bull market right now would be a mistake. Not everyone is calling for the same exact path, but the tone across these forecasts is clearly cautious. Tony Research, for example, said he expects a bounce from $67,000 into the $74,000 area, yet the larger message remains that the main trend is still bearish.

Binance is making another push to blur the line between digital assets and traditional markets. In an announcement made Monday, the company said its users will soon be able to trade more than 7,000 US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It also detailed a plan to let customers convert the stocks they hold into tokenized, crypto-style digital assets, as part of what Binance describes as a wider effort to evolve into a “multi-asset financial super app.” Binance Targets ‘Friction-Free’ Stock Trading Speaking to Fortune, Binance co-CEO Richard Teng highlighted why the move is aimed particularly at customers outside the United States. The executive said US stocks already account for well over half of the global equity market, but for many overseas investors, buying them can entail high costs and friction. Binance’s solution, according to Teng, is to offer zero-commission stock trading for non-US users, along with fractional share purchases starting at $5, lowering both the price barrier and the complexity of participation. Related Reading: Pundit Shares Why Most People Will Miss The XRP Run Operationally, Binance said the new stock trading service will be set up with support from a broker-dealer called Nest Trading. For custody and settlement functions, a New York-based firm, Alpaca, is expected to handle custody and facilitate dividend payments and corporate actions. Customers will be able to fund stock purchases using stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC stablecoin or Tether’s USDT, as well as a selection of other digital currencies, including Binance’s BNB. Binance also introduced a more ambitious concept alongside the trading program: “bStocks.” The company’s position is that bStocks will let users tokenize equities they purchase. Hyperliquid Might Feel The Heat In Teng’s explanation, this would work by creating a synthetic, digital token representation of certain stocks—achieved by converting the equities into tokens on Binance’s BNB blockchain. The company says this functionality is expected to become available in the coming weeks. While other major platforms have experimented with similar models over the past year, Binance claims its approach could stand out in one important way. Competitors such as Kraken and Robinhood have launched offerings in this space, but Binance says its bStocks plan is potentially different because it would allow customers to begin the tokenization process themselves rather than relying solely on the platform’s pre-set conversion paths. Related Reading: Bitcoin Trend That Has Held For 15 Years Shows When To Expect The Bottom And When $400,000 Will Happen The exchange’s announcement has also triggered reactions. On X (formerly Twitter), analyst Zero Kyle argued that the development could be negative for decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid (HYPE). Kyle’s view was that while the expanded availability may not necessarily be “24/7 like” Hyperliquid’s trading venues in the way some trading systems are structured, Binance is likely to intensify competition and could create a head-to-head fight for market share. The analyst added that the news may not be “bad for HYPE the token” specifically, but it could be “bad for Hyperliquid the exchange” due to increased competition. Meanwhile, the exchange’s native token, BNB, was trading at $692 at the time of writing. This mirrors the broader crypto market’s retracement on Monday, with a 2.3% drop recorded so far.

Toncoin (TON) roared higher on Monday, climbing about 11% and pushing above roughly $2.30 earlier in the day before cooling slightly. The jump came after Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov announced that The Open Network’s native token will be renamed from Toncoin to “Gram” over the next three weeks. TON Shift To ‘Gram’ Durov said the rebranding is more than marketing. “TON’s native currency is becoming Gram,” he wrote, adding that “Gram was the original name of TON’s currency in the first white paper.” In his message, he described the move as a return to the network’s roots and the start of what he called “a new chapter.” He also framed the rename as “step 4 of 7 to Make TON Great Again,” referring to a broader roadmap he has disclosed in his personal Telegram channel since May. Durov stated that the blockchain will remain called TON, and that the three-week transition will not require holders, validators, or DeFi integrations to take action. Existing TON balances, he said, will continue to function normally and will trade under the GRAM ticker once exchanges and wallets update their systems. Related Reading: BNB Extended Price Target Says $780 Is Coming, But What About $1,000? As reported by The Defiant, the Gram label carries the heaviest legal baggage in TON’s timeline. Telegram previously raised about $1.7 billion in two presale rounds in 2018 for “Gram” tokens that were never ultimately issued. Later, in October 2019, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) obtained an emergency action halting the offering, describing it as an unregistered securities sale. The legal fallout continued into a later resolution. A settlement reached in June 2020 required Telegram to return $1.2 billion to investors and pay an $18.5 million penalty. Three More Steps Coming Durov’s announcement also points to “step 4” as part of a sequence of upgrades he pushed through after taking over validator responsibilities in May. Under those earlier steps, the network rolled out Catchain 2.0, aimed at enabling sub-second block finality. Durov also highlighted Telegram’s role in validation, saying that Telegram itself became the network’s largest validator with millions of tokens staked via the messenger’s own infrastructure. Related Reading: Pundit Shares Why Most People Will Miss The XRP Run Still, there is more to come. Durov said three additional steps remain in his seven-step roadmap, though he has not publicly outlined what those steps will involve. Since Durov’s announcement earlier in the day, TON trades at $2.11 at the time of writing. Even with the pullback, the token is still showing major gains—up about 56% over the monthly period—though it remains roughly 75% below its all-time high of $8.25.

BNB’s growth trajectory over the years has reflected the performance of the Binance crypto exchange, rising as the exchange grew. This has propelled it to become one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, and with the market picking up again, expectations for where the BNB price might end up have begun to rear their heads again. BNB Bullish Triggers Are Lining up Again Crypto analyst Melikatrader94 on the TradingView website has outlined a trading plan for BNB, showing that the bullish factors are beginning to align one more. The first instance of this is the fact that BNB has formed a clear double bottom on the daily chart. Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin Price Won’t Hit $100,000 Again This Year Historically, a double bottom formation on the daily chart means that there is a trad reversal coming. Given that the trend at the time of the formation was bearish, it means a turn for the bulls. This is evident in the performance of BNB over the last week, as it has begun to rise rapidly again. The crypto analyst highlighted that the first resistance at the neckline lay between $680 and $690, and the performance of the last week has seen the price beat this resistance. This puts the price on the next level toward its true target. How High Can The Price Go? After the break above the neckline resistance, the crypto analyst says that this provides confirmation of the double bottom breakout. As a result, they say that it is better to wait for the BNB price to retest this resistance, which would then provide confirmation for the uptrend. Related Reading: The Bitcoin ‘Dream Entry’ To Wait For Before The Run-Up To $300,000 Once this breakout pattern is fully confirmed, then the crypto analyst puts the BNB price at $780. This would confirm the climb that began last week and carried through the weekend. If the momentum is maintained, then it is possible that BNB would continue to push for even higher prices above this target, possibly hitting $1,000 in an optimistic scenario. Other factors that contribute to the bullish case are the fact that the BNB RSI is printing higher lows. As the post explains, “Adding to the bullish case, RSI continues to print higher lows, highlighting strengthening momentum and growing buyer participation despite recent consolidation.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Robinhood (HOOD) and Coinbase (COIN) ended the week’s final session in the green, with Robinhood’s stock leading the move as US regulators took steps that could expand the local market for crypto derivatives. Shares of Robinhood rose sharply, jumping about 11% on the day to close around $94 per share, which also marked the highest level the stock has reached since February. Coinbase (COIN) was not far behind, gaining close to 7% as the exchange’s shares finished the session near $189. That level sits in the middle of the stock’s broader consolidation range of roughly $160 to $215, a band it has been trading within since late March. CFTC Sparks HOOD And COIN Rally The rally for both companies was widely attributed to action from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Earlier on Friday, the agency announced it would allow US firms to offer perpetual (perps) futures trading, a potential catalyst for new product launches and expanded trading activity within the United States. In addition to that policy shift, the CFTC also moved that same day to issue a no-action letter to Coinbase. Under the regulator’s guidance, the letter permits Coinbase’s US customers to access the options and perpetuals the company already offers. Related Reading: JPMorgan CEO Goes Nuclear On CLARITY Act, Calling Coinbase’s Armstrong ‘Full Of S-t’ The impact of the regulator’s steps was not limited to Coinbase. Other US-based firms have signaled they are exploring perpetuals, including trading platform Gemini and Robinhood, which already offers the product in Europe. Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev summarized the opportunity by saying the main message from the day was that it represented a “massive market opportunity.” He added that there is potential for Coinbase and other firms to win a share of trading activity that, so far, has mostly been happening on offshore venues. Robinhood Price Targets Rise Mizuho also lifted its price target for Robinhood from $110 to $115. Separately, Citizens reiterated its “market outperform” rating and maintained a $155 price target. One item cited in the positive sentiment was Robinhood’s plan to give users the ability to connect artificial intelligence (AI) agents to their accounts for trading, as well as for credit card purchases.

As lawmakers advance the crypto bill closer to completion, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon attacked Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and criticized the CLARITY Act on Friday. Dimon Predicts Clash Over CLARITY Act Speaking at the Reagan National Economic Forum, Dimon said banks “will not accept” the CLARITY Act in its current form. He also suggested that efforts by crypto proponents are unlikely to produce a broad consensus with traditional financial institutions. “It will be fought. No one’s gonna bow down to this guy, or that company,” Dimon said, referring to the act and Armstrong. Dimon continued: “He’s the only one, and he’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington on this thing… He’s full of shit.” Related Reading: Treasury Secretary Urges CLARITY Act Passage, Saying The US Should Be Home For Crypto As reported by NewsBTC on Thursday, the bill advanced in the Senate earlier this month. The Senate Banking Committee approved its portion, building on earlier progress from January, when the Agriculture Committee successfully voted on its version of the legislation. After a full Senate vote, lawmakers would need to complete the reconciliation steps required to finalize the measure and then secure agreement between the House and the Senate. Only after those steps would the final text move to the president for consideration. Yield And Compliance Provisions Concerns Dimon argued that the bill contains fundamental problems. He said the legislation would allow banks to earn interest on deposits, stablecoins, or related instruments “without the protection they should have,” and he also contended that it fails to address anti-money laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act requirements sufficiently. “It allows them to effectively pay interest on deposits, stablecoins, or something like that, without the protection they should have. And it does not do anything for AML/BSA,” Dimon said.

It’s not just the big guys.” Featured image from CNBC; chart from TradingView.com
