Blue Origin will now sell New Shepard spaceflight seats in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and selected dollar-pegged stablecoins through a new checkout integration with Shift4 (NYSE: FOUR), the payments company said in a Business Wire announcement. The integration is live and applies to upcoming commercial flights, adding crypto rails alongside traditional methods for one of the world’s best-known suborbital tourism offerings. Jeff Bezos Opens Blue Origin To Bitcoin, ETH, SOL Payments According to the joint release, customers “starting today” can pay for Blue Origin’s suborbital flights in BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT and USDC. Shift4 says the flow also supports direct connections to widely used self-custody and exchange wallets — “popular wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask” — enabling instant authorization and settlement on chain before conversion to US dollars on the merchant side. Shift4 framed the move as part of a broader push to reduce friction in high-value commerce. “Our mission has always been to revolutionize commerce by simplifying the transaction process,” CEO Taylor Lauber said, adding that the company is “thrilled to now extend that vision beyond Earth” and to offer a “simple, frictionless experience” for Blue Origin customers opting to pay in digital assets.

Inside Shift4, the initiative is being led by the firm’s dedicated crypto unit. “Crypto is now a $4 trillion asset class,” said Alex Wilson, Shift4’s Head of Crypto, arguing that digital assets will become “an increasingly popular way for consumers to pay, particularly for high-end purchases,” where both buyer and seller can save on fees and delays relative to more complex cross-border card payments. Related Reading: $120K and Rising: What On-Chain Data Says About Bitcoin’s Next Move Blue Origin’s offering remains unchanged in terms of flight profile and vehicle: New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket-and-capsule system that carries passengers past the Kármán Line — roughly 100 kilometers above sea level — before returning to West Texas for capsule touchdown under parachutes. The company notes that “more than 75 humans” have already flown aboard New Shepard and highlights the vehicle’s panoramic crew-capsule windows, among the largest yet flown, for views of Earth during several minutes of microgravity. The companies did not disclose seat pricing or specific processing fees for Bitcoin and crypto transactions in today’s materials. It is also unclear if Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin converts the Bitcoin and crypto payments into US dollars. What is clear is the operational stance: Shift4 says crypto and stablecoin payments are available “immediately” for Blue Origin bookings, and directs prospective passengers to the program’s information page, which invites would-be travelers to become “one of the first 1000 people to fly to space.” Notably, Blue Origin has already flown one high-profile industry figure: TRON founder Justin Sun. He rode on August 3, 2025, as part of mission NS-34 alongside five other passengers, after first winning Blue Origin’s inaugural seat auction in 2021—a $28 million bid whose proceeds were distributed to 19 space-focused nonprofits through the company’s Club for the Future. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $118,491. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Social Network Zora has seen its native token, ZORA, record a massive rally following a spike in user activity and recent key integrations, leading some investors to suggest that momentum will continue. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Fundamentals Clash With Short-Term Leverage Risks ZORA Hits New Highs On Monday, the native token of the decentralized social network Zora jumped nearly 50% to hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $0.145. The platform allows users to make social media posts into tradable tokens by automatically minting them, with over 2.06 million tokens created since its launch, according to Dune data. In April, the team launched its native ZORA token, airdropping 10% of the supply to early users. The launch received a negative response due to concerns of an unfair allocation and potential centralization. As the price nosedived within hours, some users considered the airdrop was “the biggest disaster with Scroll and Zksync” and the “biggest SCAM in 2025 so far.” Despite the initial backlash, the token has seen a remarkable performance since July, surging 1,573% in the monthly timeframe to hit a market capitalization of $438.9 million. Notably, its ongoing rally has been driven by numerous factors, including crucial integrations and large holders increasing their balances. Since mid-July, users can mint their tokens using the Zora platform without leaving the Base App, making it more accessible and convenient for investors. Following the integration, Base overtook Solana in terms of tokens launched. Moreover, Binance announced the launch of the ZORA/USDT perpetual futures trading pair with up to 50x leverage on July 25, a week after the Base App integration. The news fueled the token’s rally to its previous high of $0.09 on July 27. New Leading Launchpad? As noted by Base’s lead developer, Jesse Pollak, Zora led in tokens created by launchpads on Base and Solana last month, accounting for more token launches than leading Solana platforms Pump.fun and LetsBonk. The massive momentum was momentarily halted by the start-of-August pullback, which saw ZORA drop 50% from the July highs. Nonetheless, the token and the platform have seen a significant recovery over the past week, with its price rallying 128% and token creation activity surging nearly 27% since August 4. On August 10, the platform saw the largest token issuance since July 31, according to Dune data, with 47,743 tokens from 21,052 unique creators, seemingly driving ZORA’s Monday price breakout. ‘Onchain Culture’ Gets Momentum A week before ZORA’s launch, Coinbase’s Layer-2 (L2) Network, Base, faced backlash over rug-pull allegations after it promoted an unofficial memecoin that crashed by over 90%. As reported by NewsBTC, Base’s official X account posted an image with the text “Base is for everyone” and a link to Zora with the caption “Coined it,” sparking a speculative frenzy among the crypto community. Base explained that they had posted on Zora because they believe everyone should bring content on-chain and use the tools that make it possible. “Memes. Moments. Culture. If we want the future to be onchain, we have to be willing to experiment in public. (…) We’re going to keep bringing culture onchain,” the Base team argued. Related Reading: Ethereum Surpasses MasterCard In Asset Rankings, Bullish Targets Set Following Zora’s recent rally, market watcher Ansem highlighted that “Zora is currently the newest thing with the most momentum,” suggesting that “innovation will happen on base/abstract/megaeth/lighter & others,” instead of on the Ethereum mainnet.

The Trump family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, recently announced a plan to raise $1.5 billion through a partnership with ALT5 Sigma Corporation, a publicly listed company in the US.  According to a report by Fortune, the funds will be utilized for the acquisition of WLFI, the native token of World Liberty Financial. ALT5 Sigma revealed that it intends to sell a combination of 200 million new and existing shares, directing the proceeds toward this purchase. Trump Family Ventures Deeper Into Crypto This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the Trump family to leverage the growing trend of utilizing publicly traded or blank-check companies to provide investors with greater access to cryptocurrencies.  This approach gained traction thanks to figures like Michael Saylor, who transformed Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) into a cryptocurrency powerhouse by adding substantial amounts of Bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet.  Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation The landscape has since seen a surge of similar ventures. Beyond Bitcoin, various treasury companies have emerged for cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Sui (SUI), Binance Coin (BNB) and Ethena (ENA) each promoting their stocks as a means for traditional investors to engage with the crypto market.  As part of this expansion, Zach Witkoff, the CEO of World Liberty and son of prominent businessman Steve Witkoff, will take on the role of chairman at ALT5 Sigma.  Eric Trump, another son of President Donald Trump and co-founder of World Liberty, will join the board, alongside Zak Folkman, the company’s chief operating officer (COO), who will serve as a board observer.  World Liberty Financial To Make Tokens Tradable This move marks the latest chapter in the Trump family’s growing involvement in cryptocurrency. In addition to World Liberty’s initiatives, Donald and Melania Trump launched their own memecoins, TRUMP and MELANIA, earlier this year. Meanwhile, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have backed World Liberty Financial and established a Bitcoin mining operation under American Bitcoin in partnership with Hut 8. Related Reading: AI Models Predict Ethereum Cycle Top At $15,000: Analyst Furthermore, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which oversees the social media platform Truth Social, has shifted its focus toward crypto investments, recently adding $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to its balance sheet. Additionally, the holders of the WLFI token have voted overwhelmingly in favor of making their tokens tradable, a decision that could significantly influence their market value and the financial interests of the Trump family.  The proposal to initiate tradability garnered an impressive 99.94% approval from approximately 20,900 votes cast. WLFI Holders expressed their motivations for supporting this move, citing anticipated price increases and a desire to align their investments with their support for Trump.

The crypto market kicked off the week with bullish momentum as LayerZero Foundation revealed a $110 million proposal to acquire the Stargate cross-chain bridge. This sparked a sharp rally in both LayerZero’s ZRO token and Stargate’s STG token, which surged 26% and 20% respectively in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Solana Faces Mid-Channel Standoff As Hourly Weakness Challenges Bullish Structure The proposal, posted on Stargate DAO’s forum, seeks to dissolve the Stargate DAO and phase out the STG token. In its place, holders would swap each STG for 0.08634 ZRO through a fixed-rate redemption contract. This shift would make ZRO the sole token powering the merged ecosystem while maintaining uninterrupted bridge. If approved, LayerZero will assume full control over Stargate’s operations, with revenues redirected toward ZRO buybacks, a move intended to strengthen the token’s long-term value. LayerZero (ZRO) Price Outlook Amid Bullish Momentum Following the announcement, ZRO climbed to $2.30, accompanied by a 540% surge in trading volume. Analysts suggest that breaking above $2.80 could pave the way toward the $3 psychological level. In parallel, the STG token experienced a rise of over 20% within the last 24 hours, reaching $0.20 at present. This positive movement reflects investor confidence in the token’s prospective performance in the cryptosphere. While enthusiasm is high, the proposal has drawn mixed reactions from STG holders, with some arguing the swap undervalues their tokens and removes staking rewards. The proposal requires a 70% supermajority vote from the DAO to pass, with community discussions underway. ZRO's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ZROUSD on Tradingview  Strategic Push for a Unified Cross-Chain Ecosystem LayerZero’s acquisition proposal is structured as a strategic alignment intended to combine governance, improve technical efficiency, and support ongoing development. Stargate, launched by LayerZero in 2022, has processed over $70 billion in cross-chain transactions but has struggled to translate its network activity into sustained STG token growth. CEO Bryan Pellegrino described the plan as a “single unified direction” for both projects, allowing Stargate to execute on an ambitious roadmap while benefiting from LayerZero’s broader infrastructure. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Fundamentals Clash With Short-Term Leverage Risks Supporters believe merging tokens will eliminate inefficiencies and consolidate brand recognition in the competitive cross-chain market. If approved, the LayerZero–Stargate merger could reshape the cross-chain interoperability landscape, positioning ZRO for continued gains in the weeks ahead.

Ethereum breaks new ATH in Japan and Korea, reaching 639,455 yen and surpassing the previous record of 632,954 yen, dating from December 17, 2024. A similar event took place in South Korea, where $ETH reached 5,971,000 won, beating the previous record of 5.9M won from December 2021. The sudden surge is unlikely to be the effect of the changing exchange rate, which is known to influence the crypto market, because both the yen and the won appreciated against the US dollar. Normally, this would suggest that crypto prices should go down, except the Japanese and the South Korean markets experienced the opposite. The only other explanation is an increase in local demand. But what’s the driving force behind the surge in investor interest? Growing Institutional Adoption Driving Ethereum Up The likeliest explanation for $ETH’s record performance on the Asian markets is the growing institutional adoption at the global level, with companies like Bitmine leading the pack with an iron hand. Bitmine has the largest Ethereum treasury, worth over $2.9B, with Chairman Thomas Lee stating that: We are well on our way to achieving our goal of acquiring and staking 5% of the overall ETH supply. —Thomas Lee, Public statement So, not only is Bitmine the largest $ETH player, but it plans to keep staking Ethereum for the foreseeable future, taking a page out of Strategy’s playbook, the largest Bitcoin holder in the world, with 628,946 $BTC, worth over 75$. Trump’s recent executive order, which allows crypto into the 401(k) plans, also played a critical role in pushing $ETH up the food chain. $ETH trades at $4,173 right now, but the growing interest in the Asian markets could force a bullish trend globally, fueling the entire ERC-20 ecosystem. If and when that happens, keep your eye on the following three projects, which show the highest growth potential in 2025. 1. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Multi-Chain Token Sniper That Rewards Opportunistic Traders Snorter Token ($SNORT) is a Solana/Ethereum-based project that introduces the Snorter Bot, the opportunistic trader’s best friend. The Snorter Bot tracks down and snipes hot tokens milliseconds after liquidity becomes available, making it more reactive and effective even than UIs like Pump Fun, Raydium, and Jupiter. The Bot solves most problems associated with manual coin hunting, which include the risk of scams like honeypots and rug pulls, as well as the high entry-level tech knowledge requirement. As a novice trader, you only need to learn how to customize the Bot to your liking, enabling its real-time alerts to protect against suspicious projects and setting up the specifics. The Bot will do the rest. Snorter Bot is the ideal trading partner for beginners and professional traders, helping you target hot assets before they lose steam. $SNORT powers the ecosystem with the help of a $2.9M presale and a price of $0.1009. Given the project’s long-term potential, this may be the perfect time to invest. Our analysts predict a $1.02 $SNORT by the end of 2025, for a 910% growth. 2030 could see $SNORT pushing up to $1.50 or higher, depending on the mainstream appeal and implementation. You can buy your $SNORT today by going to the presale page and following the steps. 2. Dogecoin ($DOGE) – The Friendly Shiba Dog Leading the Meme Market Dogecoin ($DOGE) is the world’s most popular and beloved Shiba-dog-turned-meme, sitting at the forefront of the meme market. While it started as a purebred meme coin, Dogecoin soon gained blockchain utility as peer-to-peer currency. Today, you can spend $DOGE in online shops with third-party providers like Bitpay and Coinbase. The Dogecoin Foundation plans to expand on that and turn $DOGE into people’s coin, pushing it into the mainstream even more, if that’s even possible. $DOGE is backpedalling now, trading at $0.2291, witnessing a small contraction over the past 24 hours. However, this comes after a 12.75% push over the past week, which could paint this minor seatback as a buy signal. Especially since analysts like Ali Martinez predict another bull run, similar to 2021’s ATH, when $DOGE experienced a 13,000% pump. If you want to join the $DOGE run, go to your favorite exchange and refill your portfolio today. 3. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Bitcoin’s Layer 2 Upgrade Promising Solana-Level Network Performance Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is Bitcoin’s official Layer 2 upgrade that promises a Solana level performance boost with the help of tools like the Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM.) The Canonical Bridge connects the Bitcoin ecosystem to Hyper, minting wrapped Bitcoin into the Layer 2 in numbers equivalent to what the users deposit into the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin Relay Program is the main transaction validator, ensuring fast throughput. The Canonical Bridge decongests the Bitcoin network and enables near-instant finality, aside from supporting complex DeFi operations like DEXs and staking. The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) enables lightning-fast execution for DeFi apps and smart contracts for Solana-level throughput and scalability. These tools aim to lift Bitcoin’s traffic cap, currently at 7 transactions per second (TPS), and bring it more in line with modern standards. By comparison, Solana works with 2,909 TPS. $HYPER is in presale now and has already accumulated over $8.3M, making it one of the most successful presales of 2025. Based on the project’s long-term goals, our analysts predict a 2025 price point of $0.02595 by the end of 2025. A five-year prediction could place $HYPER at $0.253 if Hyper sees successful implementation and growing adoption. If you want to support Hyper or simply aim to diversify your portfolio, go to the presale page and buy your $HYPER today. $ETH Bull Incoming? $ETH is stable now, but the asset’s performance in the Asian markets can soon reach the Western shores. Especially in the pro-crypto context created by Trump’s 401(k) order and the GENIUS Act as the modern foundation of the new crypto financial system. More importantly, Bitcoin is still bullish, and if it rallies to another ATH, we could expect the entire market to rally, with projects like Snorter Token ($SNORT) and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) seeing increased interest. This isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely.

With US inflation center stage and oil-market supply guidance due, this is a data-heavy week where macro can decide whether Bitcoin’s tight consolidation resolves into fresh highs and the broader crypto market continues to explode further. Crypto Market Braces For Major Week The July Consumer Price Index arrives Tuesday, August 12, at 14:30 CEST (08:30 ET). The median economist call leans toward a firmer core and a still-contained headline: Bloomberg’s survey points to a 0.3% month-over-month increase in core CPI, while several desks expect headline CPI at 0.2% m/m and 2.8% y/y after 2.7% in June. The Cleveland Fed’s real-time nowcast is in the same ballpark on the year-over-year prints, showing ~2.7% for headline and ~3.0% for core going into the release. The schedule is official; the nuance is that a 0.3% core m/m is consistent with core holding near 3% y/y, which markets would read as sticky but not re-accelerating—until tariffs or energy change the calculus. Producer prices follow Thursday, August 14, also at 14:30 CEST (08:30 ET). Consensus pegs PPI final demand near +0.2% m/m after a flat June; the Bureau of Labor Statistics has confirmed the timing and flagged methodology changes that take effect with this release. Taken with CPI, a 0.2% PPI would imply only modest pipeline pressure—unless services margins surprise. Related Reading: USDC Emerges As Top Pick In Booming Crypto Payroll Trend—Survey Retail’s read-through for demand lands Friday, August 15, at 14:30 CEST (08:30 ET). The street is looking for +0.5% m/m on headline retail sales, with many desks also watching the control group for a steady goods-spending pulse after June’s 0.5%. One hour later, at 16:00 CEST (10:00 ET), the University of Michigan prints its preliminary August sentiment; July’s improvement into the low-60s set the base. None of these are binary for crypto, but a hot sales beat against a 0.3% core CPI would harden “higher-for-longer” rate chatter; a cooler mix would do the opposite. Energy is the wild card. OPEC’s Monthly Oil Market Report publishes Tuesday, August 12, with July’s edition having kept 2025 demand growth steady at ~1.3 mb/d; the cadence of OPEC+ supply guidance and the IEA’s Oil Market Report on Wednesday, August 13, will feed directly into headline-inflation expectations via the gasoline channel. The exact release dates are fixed on OPEC’s calendar and the IEA data portal. Related Reading: Crypto Set For $1.25 Trillion Tsunami As Trump Opens 401(k) Floodgates On crypto-native flows, FTX’s estate has set Friday, August 15 as the record date for its next cash distribution cycle, with disbursements expected to begin on or about September 30, 2025. The step is funded by a court-authorized $1.9 billion reduction of the disputed claims reserve (to $4.3B), and payments will route via BitGo, Kraken and Payoneer for eligible, fully onboarded claimants. Practically, that means Aug. 15 determines who’s in line; the actual liquidity arrives at quarter-end. Ethereum’s specific catalyst is corporate-treasury optics. SharpLink Gaming (Nasdaq: SBET)—which has been publishing weekly accumulation tallies—will hold its Q2 2025 call on Friday, August 15, at 14:30 CEST (08:30 ET). The company disclosed 521,939 ETH on the balance sheet as of August 3, alongside ongoing capital raises to expand that treasury. Any change in pace, staking strategy or financing mix could move the “ETH as a balance-sheet asset” narrative. Technically, Bitcoin sits a stone’s throw from July’s record at $123,153. Aksel Kibar, CMT, characterized the past week’s pause as “a text-book pullback to the neckline,” adding that “monitoring the chart for acceleration this week. Breach of 123.2K (minor high) can resume uptrend.” At press time, BTC traded at $121,699. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The team behind the DeFi protocol CrediX is suspected of an exit scam following a recent $4.5 million security breach. The team has reportedly “vanished” from the project’s official channels despite promising refunds, leaving customers empty-handed. Related Reading: Ethereum Breakout Is ‘Imminent’ Amid $3,850 Retest – Analyst Eyes $5,000 For This Quarter DeFi Protocol Suffers $4.5 Million Exploit On Friday, security firm CertiK reported that the DeFi lender CrediX’s team had disappeared following the platform’s recent exploit, leaving its website offline since the August 4 incident and suddenly deleting the official X account. For context, the Sonic-based DeFi lender suffered a security breach on Monday after a potential wallet compromise led to the theft of $4.5 million from the protocol’s liquidity pool. Blockchain security firm PeckShield explained that the alleged hack was due to a compromised admin account, which allowed the exploiter to abuse its BRIDGE role to mint unbacked acUSDC (Sonic USDC) tokens, borrow against them, and drain the pool, before bridging the assets from Sonic Network to Ethereum. Notably, SlowMist found that the CrediX multisig wallet added an attacker as an admin and bridge role via ACLManager six days before, which raised concerns among investors. The DeFi lender’s team acknowledged the incident on X, stating that they had disabled the website to prevent users from depositing. Later, the team informed its community that it had allegedly “reached successful parley with the exploiter, who agreed to return the funds within the next 24-48 hours.” According to the now-deleted post, posted on CrediX’s official Telegram account by a user, the attacker agreed to return the funds “in return for money fully paid by the credix treasury.” The team affirmed that they would airdrop the funds to the affected users’ addresses in “the respective timeframe.” CrediX Goes Dark The following day, the team addressed the exploit on Telegram, stating, “We are truly sorry for this devastating incident and the impact it may have on our community,” and affirmed that they would keep users updated on the next steps before disappearing and deactivating the official X account. On Thursday, the Sonic-based Stability DAO confirmed on its Discord server that CrediX had “gone dark and disappeared,” directly affecting the protocol’s users. The exploit affected Stability DAO’s Metavaults as the project had recently integrated with CrediX. In the message, the protocol announced that all the affected teams, including Sonic Labs, Euler, Beets, and Rines Protocol (Trevee), were in communication and actively working on “filing a formal legal report with the authorities in hopes of recovering lost funds.” Additionally, they have obtained information on two of the DeFi lender’s members, which would be added to the report alongside the rest of the evidence. “A full incident report will be shared with the community soon, outlining everything that happened and what steps are being taken,” the message vowed.

SPX6900 has ripped 23% higher in the past month, outpacing not just the S&P 500, but also a long list of blue-chip altcoins. For a meme index born from internet culture and irreverent finance, that kind of run reinforces one thing: the 6900 effect is alive and kicking. While traditional markets obsess over earnings calls and GDP prints, meme-led plays are delivering gains that put “serious” assets to shame. Riding this wave is TOKEN6900 ($T6900) – the self-described ‘anti-S&P,’ built on zero utility, zero roadmap, and zero corporate spin. It promises nothing and delivers exactly that. In the upside-down logic of meme finance, that might be the most honest proposition left. And with SPX6900’s surge in full swing, $T6900 could be next in line for the spotlight. SPX6900 Rally & Why It Matters SPX6900 ($SPX) has been on a tear for well over a year. $SPX is up 8.87% in the past week, 23.71% over the last month, and a staggering 10834.57% over the last year. These aren’t the kind of numbers you see in blue-chip equities or even most altcoin rallies. The driver? A flood of retail capital into high-volatility, community-driven plays where memes and market psychology matter more than fundamentals. SPX6900’s performance has proved that meme-led indexes can sustain multi-month momentum when the narrative is strong enough. In the process, ‘6900’ has become a brand in its own right, shorthand for absurdist finance done right. That brand power is exactly what TOKEN6900 is tapping into as it builds its own cult following ahead of launch. TOKEN6900 ($T6900) Overview – The ‘Non-Corrupt Token’ Branding itself as the world’s first Non-Corrupt Token (NCT), TOKEN6900 ($T6900) flips the crypto script, turning everything the industry usually pretends to be on its head. There’s no roadmap, no fake promises, no ‘AI-powered’ whitepaper filler. Just pure satire aimed at the S&P500, SPX6900, and the whole idea of fundamentals. It even improves on SPX6900 with one extra token in supply, making it objectively superior. At $0.006875, the sale has already pulled in over $1.71M, including a $16.3K buy on July 18, 2025. Holders can stake for 36% rewards (ironic for a ‘zero utility’ coin) while the clipart dolphin mascot serves as a tongue-in-cheek rejection of corporate branding. Joining in is simple: head to the official Token6900 presale site, connect your crypto wallet, and buy with $ETH, $USDT, $BNB, or even a card to secure your slice of honest absurdity. Final Verdict: Riding the 6900 Wave with TOKEN6900 Meme coin cycles have a habit of coming back louder, and SPX6900’s latest pump suggests absurdist finance is back in peak demand. TOKEN6900 is perfectly timed for this moment, channelling the same irreverent energy with its unapologetic ‘nothing to offer’ pitch. For traders who get the joke (and want in on the punchline), the presale offers a low entry point before the next price tier kicks in. Still, this is not financial advice. So please do your own research (DYOR): read the presale details, understand the risks, and only put in what you’re prepared to lose.

Fifteen years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto typed out a short, almost casual statement on a Bitcoin forum that would end up sounding prophetic: “The utility of the exchange made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be net waste.” Related Reading: Crypto Is Here To Stay—Even The SEC Can’t Do Anything About It, Analyst Says It traded for a mere $0.07 at the time — Aug. 7, 2010 — and largely among a small group of early adopters. It could be mined on a desktop computer. Today, Bitcoin exchanges near $117,000, after reaching a high this year of $123,000. The token is no longer an esoteric experiment by an unknown programmer but the linchpin of a $2.3 trillion crypto space that has captivated retail investors, Wall Street, even government. #SatoshiNakamoto on #Bitcoin excactly 15 years ago today!$BTC was $0,07 ???? pic.twitter.com/AY1FvN2O9u — Rand (@crypto_rand) August 7, 2025 From Niche Forum Post To Strategic Reserves Cryptanalyst Crypto Rand went back to the pioneering post by Satoshi Nakamoto this week, illustrating how the idea has come to pass in real time. As many wondered back then whether or not Bitcoin would ever be able to warrant its energy consumption footprints, today the demand has expanded beyond the individual level to institutions — even nations. The United States is said to be compiling a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, an idea which would’ve been absurd back in the year 2010 but today sounds like the next course of the asset within the world of global finance. Macro Moves Meet Satoshi’s Vision Bitcoin’s price action this week offers a real-time example of how it’s now influenced by the same forces as gold, bonds, and other macro assets. The Bank of England just cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00% — its second cut this year — in a bid to steer inflation toward its 2% target. The move sparked a rally across crypto, pushing BTC back to $117,000 and lifting Ethereum (and other altcoins as well) to nearly $3,900. According to the argument made by Satoshi, the utility of bitcoin is no longer simply about peer-to-peer transactions. It has developed into a liquid, universally recognized store of value responding to central bank action, investor sentiment, and geopolitics.

Tariff plans by Trump and slower-than-projected cuts by US interest rates have deflated some of the air from Bitcoin’s previous highs, demonstrating that even in 2025, macro headwinds can tumble it down sharply. Yet on a scale compared to 2010, it is mind-boggling — from cents to six figures, from a forum message to central bank monitoring screens. Fifteen years later, the comment by Satoshi on electricity and utility doesn’t come across as prophecy alone — it comes across as challenge. And so far, Bitcoin has seemed determined to prove him right. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

On Thursday, the decades-old wall separating US retirement accounts from direct crypto exposure came down — and the potential capital inflow is staggering. President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will open 401(k) retirement plans to a broader range of alternative assets, including private equity, real estate, and — for the first time — crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Is A Trillion-Dollar Crypto Flood About To Hit? The news marks a sharp reversal from the US Department of Labor’s (DOL) aggressive stance just three years ago, when the agency issued an unprecedented warning urging retirement plan providers to “exercise extreme caution” before offering crypto in 401(k) plans. As Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise Asset Management, noted, “It was the first — and only — time the DOL singled out an asset class like this. Not even junk bonds or ESG funds.” In 2022, the DOL went further, stating that adding crypto to a 401(k) could be interpreted as a failure to meet the required fiduciary standard of professional care. The message was unambiguous: providers who failed to meet that standard could be held personally liable for any losses. This effectively froze the market before it began. “401(k) providers had to decide if adding crypto to plans was worth the risk of DOL scrutiny. Most didn’t,” Rasmussen explained. The chilling effect was immediate — sponsors backed off, firms paused crypto-linked retirement products, and investors “missed out on life-changing returns.” Related Reading: USDC Emerges As Top Pick In Booming Crypto Payroll Trend—Survey By mid-2025, however, the tide had turned. Mounting legal pressure, pushback from 401(k) providers, and Congressional criticism of regulatory overreach led the DOL to rescind its “extreme caution” guidance in full. More strikingly, the agency admitted that its 2022 approach was a deviation from its historically neutral treatment of investment strategies. As Rasmussen put it, “Once again, the US government admitted it had singled out crypto.” Now, the executive order will not merely remove the roadblocks but actively open the gates. According to Bloomberg data cited by Rasmussen, the US 401(k) market is valued at approximately $12.5 trillion. Even a 1% allocation to crypto would translate to $125 billion in inflows; a 10% allocation could reach $1.25 trillion. Rasmussen believes the earliest beneficiaries will be assets with existing exchange-traded fund (ETF) structures, naming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, while adding that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” More Implications For industry observers, the implications extend beyond a one-time capital injection. Tom Dunleavy, Head of Venture at Varys Capital, stressed that the mechanics of 401(k) investing create a powerful and persistent demand driver. “In the US, roughly 100 million Americans have a retirement investment vehicle known as a 401(k),” Dunleavy explained.

A constant background bid for assets.” With around $50 billion entering these funds biweekly, even a modest portfolio allocation to crypto — 1%, 3%, or 5% — could create recurring inflows of $120 billion to $600 billion annually. “And these aren’t one-time flows. THEY KEEP BUYING ONCE ALLOCATIONS ARE SET,” Dunleavy emphasized. Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, the founders of Glassnode and Swissblock, are already calling the move a watershed for mainstream adoption. They remarked via X, “People don’t realize yet how big today’s news has been for crypto… this will be seen as the watershed moment for mainstream adoption, much more than the ETF.” Scott Melker, known as “The Wolf of All Streets,” highlighted the transformational nature of the change: “Until now, the average American couldn’t touch Bitcoin or Altcoins in a 401(k). Soon, they might be able to DCA and trade like a degen tax-free for decades. This isn’t just policy — it’s a paradigm shift.” As Dunleavy summed it up, with 401(k)s and direct asset trusts in place, the policy “put[s] a ridiculous floor under crypto going forward and move[s] the limit from the moon to Jupiter.” At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.82 trillion.

Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level after recovering from last week’s lows. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency is repeating past breakout playbooks, which could lead to a new high this quarter. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Targets $0.80 As Price Retests Key Level – Is An 85% Jump Ahead? Fourth Time’s The Charm? On Thursday, Ethereum retested the $3,850 level after recording a 6.3% surge in the daily timeframe. The surge was fueled by news of President Donald Trump’s alleged plan to sign an executive order that would allow private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets investments in 401(k) plans. The executive order would reportedly direct the Department of Labor (DOL) to revise the guidelines related to alternative asset investments in retirement plans, opening the doors to the $12.5 trillion industry. Notably, the King of Altcoins has been trading between the $3,400-$3,800 price range since the mid-July breakout, attempting to break out from the last “major resistance” zone three times during this period. Last week, ETH surged to a seven-month high of $3,941, briefly trading above the key resistance zone before retracing to its local range. The start-of-August correction saw the cryptocurrency retreat to the range lows, retesting the $3,350-$3,400 area as support. Ethereum attempted to reclaim the range highs as this week started, trading in the $3,600-$3,700 mid-zone for the past three days. However, today’s pump saw the second-largest crypto surge past the $3,800 area and retest the $3,850 local resistance. Following its recent performance, analyst Alex Clay considers that ETH’s correction “seems to be over.” He highlighted an 18-month descending broadening wedge on the daily chart, affirming that a “breakout is imminent” as the cryptocurrency neared the formation’s upper boundary. Ethereum To Hit New Highs Soon Analyst Ted Pillows affirmed that ETH is “just one bullish candle away from a major breakout,” highlighting the similarities between its May-June setup and its current one. Following the May breakout, Ethereum traded within its local range, failing to break above the $2,700 resistance multiple times before its June bull and bear traps. Following the fake-out and retest of the lows, the cryptocurrency broke out of its range and hit a new yearly high in the following weeks. Similarly, ETH has been trading within its current range after the July breakout, as the analyst’s chart shows, retesting the local resistance before the late July bull trap. After the early August bear trap, the King of Altcoins is now retesting the $3,850-$3,900 area. A breakout from this zone could propel the price above the $4,000 barrier if history repeats. Based on this, the analyst suggested that a $5,000 target is possible before the quarter ends. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that the Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) has surged above the 12% level in an uptrend for the first time in five years. Related Reading: Solana To Drop Before The ‘Real Move’? Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 He noted that the last time ETHDOM rallied to this area was in July 2020, when it consolidated between the 12% to 16% zone for months before breaking out in 2021. According to the analyst, ETHDOM is now challenging to transition into a similar consolidation phase. As of this writing, ETH trades at $3,826 in the one-week chart, a 48% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Dubai has officially cemented its position at the forefront of global crypto regulation. This bold regulatory step positions Dubai as a global trailblazer in shaping the future of institutional crypto markets and blending innovation with compliance. As jurisdictions around the world debate how to handle digital assets, Dubai is already laying the groundwork for the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. Why This Approval Matters For Global Financial Markets The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has officially approved the first-ever cryptocurrency options license, marking it a breakthrough moment for the emirate region’s rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. Related Reading: China Greenlights Launch Of Its First Crypto Stablecoin—Report As highlighted in the press release, the permit was granted to a Nomura-backed digital assets firm, Laser Digital. This permit has authorized the firm to offer over-the-counter (OTC) crypto options trading to institutional investors under VARA’s regulatory framework. This development solidifies Dubai’s status as a premier global hub for cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. With VARA granting Dubai its first crypto options license, it provides a clear regulatory pathway for firms seeking to offer complex instruments and crypto derivatives. By doing so, Dubai is setting the bar for how governments can blend innovation with compliance.  The approval of Laser Digital under VARA’s framework reflects a commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment with robust regulatory standards, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements. This gives institutional investors confidence that the space is both progressive and secure. Why Listed Spot Trading Launched Matters For US Crypto Markets While the first-ever cryptocurrency options license has been approved, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), under Caroline D. Pham, has launched a listed spot crypto trading initiative. According to the release, this license opens the door for regulated exchanges such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) to offer direct trading of real crypto tokens, not just for futures contracts, but under official United States oversight. Related Reading: Has The Crypto Market Bottomed? Analyst Says ‘This Is It’ It is important to note that spot trading is where you buy and sell the actual asset itself, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, for immediate settlement, which hasn’t been regulated at the federal level. It’s different from trading futures or derivatives, where traders speculate on price without owning the asset. “Under President Trump’s strong leadership and vision, the CFTC is full speed ahead on enabling immediate trading of digital assets at the Federal level in coordination with the SEC’s Project Crypto,”  Acting Chairman Pham stated. If this goes through, it would bring spot and futures trading under the same regulatory rulebook, making the crypto market simpler, clearer, and more secure for everyone involved, which is a step forward for the crypto industry. It will also pave the way for retail and institutional investors to engage in crypto markets with a higher level of trust, knowing that trading is taking place on federally regulated exchanges.

MetaMask, one of the most widely used Web3 wallets with over 100 million users, has officially integrated the Sei Network, a Layer-1 blockchain known for its speed and scalability. This major update now allows users to access Sei’s decentralized applications (dApps), tokens, NFTs, and perform SEI transactions directly from MetaMask, without the need for third-party tools or bridges. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Poised for Move – Can It Clear This Barrier? With this integration, the total number of supported blockchains in MetaMask rises to 11, further strengthening its position as a leading multi-chain wallet. A dedicated Sei section within the MetaMask Portfolio now offers users a smooth entry point to the network’s gaming, DeFi, and NFT ecosystem. Sei’s Ecosystem Growth Fuels Investor Optimism The timing of this integration couldn’t be better for the token. The network has recently achieved significant growth milestones: over 4.2 million daily transactions, a TVL surpassing $600 million, and 11 million monthly active users, all since launching its EVM-compatible chain less than a year ago. The tokenimproved accessibility through MetaMask is expected to attract more developers and users alike, expanding the reach of its high-performance blockchain infrastructure. According to Justin Barlow of the Sei Development Foundation, this marks a strategic leap toward making Sei the “best EVM ecosystem.” Market interest in the SEI token has already responded positively, with a 2.5% uptick post-announcement, and more upside could be in play.

Omni Network (OMNI) continues to ride a powerful bullish wave one week after its debut on South Korea’s top exchange, Upbit. As of now, the token trades at approximately $5, marking a 276% surge over the past 30 days, with the listing acting as a major catalyst in drawing global investor attention. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could See Another Crash To Fill This Imbalance Before Rally To $120,000 Launched to tackle fragmentation in Ethereum’s growing rollup ecosystem, Omni Network is fast becoming a favorite among both retail and institutional investors. The network’s promise of seamless interoperability between Ethereum rollups, powered by OMNI as a universal gas token, has boosted its bullish momentum. Why OMNI Is Outperforming the Market OMNI’s remarkable ascent began with its July 29 listing on Upbit. Within hours, the token surged from $2.50 to over $7.80, before stabilizing around $5. High trading volumes exceeding $580 million supported the magnitude of investor demand. Technical indicators remain bullish. The MACD line continues to trend above the signal line, while RSI levels, though overbought, suggest sustained momentum. Analysts view $4.36 as a crucial support level, with $5.98 and $6.94 serving as key resistance points. A breakout above these could pave the way to $10 and beyond in the coming months. Beyond speculative interest, the token’s utility adds long-term value. Its dual staking model, which includes both the token and restaked ETH, combined with its universal gas marketplace, makes it a foundational infrastructure layer in Ethereum’s modular future. OMNI's price trends to the upside on low timeframes breaking out of a downtrend and hinting at further profits. Source: OMNIUSD on Tradingview  Outlook: Can This Crypto Keep the Momentum Going? Omni Network’s design aligns well with the Ethereum roadmap, and its market performance reflects strong confidence in its value proposition. With just over 10 million OMNI tokens currently in circulation, and most allocations under long-term vesting, supply remains constrained, adding to upward price pressure. If adoption among Ethereum rollups continues and trading volumes hold, the token could hit $10–$30 within the next 12–24 months, according to mid-to-long-term forecasts.

Bitcoin’s volatility just hit its lowest point since September 2023. This event could be a signal that a major shift in Bitcoin and crypto market conditions is unfolding. According to the BVIV index by Volmex, Bitcoin’s 30-day implied volatility fell to a low of 36.11%. These levels haven’t been seen since September 30, 2023, back when BTC was trading below $30,000. And then, it was just days away from aggressively breaking out to the upside. Fast forward to today: Bitcoin is holding strong well above $114K, and yet, volatility has all but collapsed. This divergence is a big deal: it suggests that $BTC is starting to behave more like a TradFi asset, where bull runs are often accompanied by periods of low-volatility lulls. For savvy investors, this creates a rare window of opportunity. When the market is calm and slowly grinding up, it often sets the stage for huge upside. This is especially true for altcoins like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which are built to ride Bitcoin’s momentum with extra utility and speed. What’s Driving This Market Shift? Bitcoin is currently consolidating between $110,000 and $120,000; but the real story is under the hood. The 30-day implied volatility (IV), tracked by the BVIV index, dropped to 36.11% today – a level unseen since 2023. Historically, Bitcoin’s volatility would rise during price surges, reflecting high levels of fear, excitement, and speculation. However, this cycle appears to be different. Despite $BTC gaining over 50% since its lows in April, volatility has been steadily trending down. In fact, when compared to Gold’s volatility, Bitcoin’s volatility is at a historical low, currently less than twice that of Gold’s. So what’s changed? Analysts point to the growing use of institutional-style structured products, such as options and ETFs, that suppress BTC’s volatility. As more institutions and other large players enter the space, Bitcoin is increasingly mirroring TradFi markets like the S&P 500 or Gold, where slow, upward trends tend to dampen volatility rather than ignite it. Why Low Volatility Is Actually Bullish In traditional finance, falling volatility during bullish periods in the market is a sign of growing confidence, not weakness. It suggests that investors truly believe in the trend, and aren’t aggressively taking profits or scrambling for hedges. Bitcoin’s current implied volatility downtrend reflects that exact dynamic. As fear subsides, institutions are more likely to step in, looking for steady, scalable exposure. That’s already playing out through rising ETF inflows and increased interest in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). More importantly, this creates the ideal environment for infrastructure-focused plays – especially those that scale Bitcoin. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper comes in: a lightning-fast Bitcoin Layer 2 designed to handle the next big wave of on-chain activity. As capital rotates into $BTC and its adjacent ecosystems, low volatility sets the stage for long-term narratives, not just short-term pumps. The calmer the market appears on the face of it, the more serious money gets involved. And scalable, utility-driven projects like Bitcoin Hyper are perfectly placed to benefit. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): A Bull Market Scalability Play With Bitcoin finding its footing around $115K and volatility at 2-year lows, the stage is set for a new wave of infrastructure-focused projects, and those that solve Bitcoin’s biggest flaw – its scalability – are likely to thrive the most. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a Layer 2 rollup built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), anchored directly to Bitcoin. This design gives it the speed, programmability, and flexibility of Solana, while still relying on Bitcoin’s battle-tested security. In short, it makes Bitcoin scalable, programmable, and DeFi-ready. With all the institutional capital flowing into $BTC via ETPs and RWA protocols, projects like Bitcoin Hyper are the obvious next step for Bitcoin: a fast, low-cost environment for dApps, staking, and yield generation built around BTC. The project has already raised over $7.4M in its presale, and is still available in one of its final early-stage price tiers, at $0.01255 per token. This makes it a rare entry point for investors eyeing the next breakout Bitcoin infrastructure narrative. If $BTC is the base layer for institutional crypto, Hyper is shaping up to be the engine for its next wave of innovation. Check out the Bitcoin Hyper presale today! The Calm Before the Next Crypto Surge Bitcoin’s low volatility might look like a lull, but it’s often the calm before the storm. As the market matures and BTC starts behaving more like TradFi assets, the smart money is already rotating into infrastructure projects that support long-term scalability. Bitcoin Hyper is one of the most compelling plays of this kind. It combines the security of Bitcoin with the speed and flexibility of the Solana VM. If you’re waiting for a signal to act, it’s already here; don’t wait for volatility to spike. The $HYPER presale could be your early entry into the next big wave.

After recovering from its local lows, Cardano (ADA) is retesting a key area that could send the price to the next crucial resistance. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is preparing for a massive rally. Related Reading: Solana To Drop Before The ‘Real Move’? Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 Cardano Retests Key Resistance Following last week’s drop to the $0.70 support, Cardano is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level to continue its rally. The cryptocurrency has surged 8.8% from Friday’s low, retesting the $0.74-$0.76 area throughout this week. Notably, ADA has been hovering between the $0.65-$0.85 price range since the Q2 market recovery, briefly losing this area during the June pullback. However, the July market pump sent the altcoin to a four-month high of $0.93, sparking bullish sentiment among investors. Since then, Cardano has been in a downtrend, attempting to break out of the descending resistance for the past two weeks. Market watcher Sebastian noted that the cryptocurrency has repeatedly retested the $0.76 zone over the past few days, suggesting that “the more it tests it, the higher the likelihood to break it.” According to the analyst, ADA must reclaim the 50-day Moving Average (MA), which has served as a strong resistance and support level and coincides with the descending resistance breakout area. Following today’s performance, the altcoin has reclaimed the 50 MA indicator and eyes a retest of the $0.76 resistance. A breakout from this level would set the stage for a retest of the next crucial area between $0.79 and $0.80. “Getting back above $0.80 would confirm the trend reversal,” Sebastian affirmed. Meanwhile, a rejection from this area could propel Cardano to retest the recent lows and risk losing its local range again. ADA Breakout Eyes 85%-120% Rally Man of Bitcoin noted ADA’s recent performance, asserting that it is “now potentially working on a small 1-2 setup.” Based on this, he suggested that “as long as the price remains above the last swing low at $0.685, wave-5 of iii should follow next.” Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been trading within a descending channel since its December 2024 high of $1.32. According to the chart, ADA retested the channel’s upper boundary for the first time in months during the July breakout but was ultimately rejected. Reclaiming the $0.76 could propel the altcoin to the channel’s resistance, and “a breakout above $0.84 could set Cardano on a path toward $1.30.” Additionally, Martinez asserted that “ADA is showing the same price structure as the last cycle, only this time, it’s unfolding more gradually. And it feels like we’re right at the beginning of an explosive move.” Similarly, Crypto Bullet stated that Cardano has been following a pattern over this cycle. Per the chart, the cryptocurrency has been trading down for months before breaking out and reaching new local highs. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin’s Price Discovery Rally Over? This Week’s Performance May Hold The Answer Last month, the cryptocurrency broke out of its eight-month downtrend, targeting a rally toward the $1.60 area. Now, ADA is retesting the descending resistance line, which could set up the stage for the 120% jump if the breakout is confirmed. As of this writing, Cardano is trading at $0.74, a 3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As part of an initiative to internationalize the renminbi (Chinese Yuan) and enhance its competitiveness against the US dollar, China is poised to launch its first stablecoin. Meanwhile, the US is making significant progress toward its mission of becoming the crypto capital of the world. Despite this ambitious plan, concerns about potential capital flight are reportedly hindering the rapid advancement of stablecoin technology within the country.  China Explores Stablecoin Initiatives According to a report from the Financial Times, Hong Kong has emerged as a testing ground for cryptocurrency, particularly given the strict bans on the mainland.  Recently, the territory passed legislation allowing licensed businesses to issue tokens backed by any fiat currency. However, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has taken a cautious stance, indicating that only a limited number of licenses will be issued starting next year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Insult Alert: Pro Trader Dubs HODLers ‘Idiots,’ Saylor Fires Back Policymakers in China have increasingly turned their attention to stablecoins, recognizing the growing dominance of dollar-backed tokens in the global economy.  The central bank governor, Pan Gongsheng, noted in a June speech that stablecoins have “fundamentally reshaped the traditional payment landscape.” However, the Chinese government faces a delicate balancing act; while it seeks to enhance the global standing of the renminbi, it must also maintain stringent controls over its financial system.  Recent discussions among financial regulators have centered on the implementation of stablecoin projects, emphasizing that any such initiative must align with China’s unique national conditions. Yet, experts have cautioned that the risks associated with capital outflows could pose significant challenges. Interest Grows In Hong Kong Rebecca Liao, CEO of Saga, a company focused on blockchain infrastructure, articulated the complexities of adopting stablecoin technology, highlighting that it cannot be completely controlled by central authorities.  This concern has contributed to Hong Kong’s slower progress in developing a thriving stablecoin market, especially when compared to the rapid growth observed in the United States.  The HKMA has voiced apprehensions about the potential use of stablecoins in money laundering, emphasizing the need for stability and control in its new regulatory framework.  As such, initial stablecoin programs in Hong Kong are expected to focus on business-to-business applications, limiting their broader adoption. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Run In Jeopardy? Expert Reveals Strategy’s Alleged Plan To Sell All BTC Holdings The report emphasizes that interest in stablecoins is also growing among Chinese state-owned enterprises, particularly in the context of payment and settlement solutions.  Multiple state-owned companies with operations in Hong Kong are reportedly looking to apply for stablecoin licenses, although only one of China’s four major state-owned banks is expected to receive a license from the HKMA in this initial phase.  The HKMA has not ruled out the possibility of approving licenses for stablecoins backed by offshore renminbi, a move that could further facilitate cross-border payments—an area of increasing importance for China.

The global cryptocurrency market has experienced a slight downturn over the past week, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain its recent highs. Market data from CoinGecko shows the total crypto market capitalization currently stands at approximately $3.79 trillion, representing a 0.4% decline in the last 24 hours. This pullback follows a period of uncertainty across major digital assets, with both Bitcoin and altcoins facing limited buying momentum despite periods of volatility. Analysts suggest that reduced market activity and fluctuations in leveraged trading positions are playing a significant role in current market behavior. Insights from Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges globally, highlight shifting trader sentiment as leverage levels decline while overall price movement remains subdued. These changes raise questions about whether the market is entering a phase of consolidation or setting up for more volatility ahead. Related Reading: Bitcoin Inflows To Binance Accelerate: Investor Behavior Shifts After Months Of Decline Leverage Trends on Binance Point to Market Reset According to a recent analysis from CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain, leverage usage on Binance has decreased notably in recent days. The analyst explains that falling leverage is typically a short-term positive indicator as it suggests the exit of overleveraged traders and a reduction in forced liquidations. This can help stabilize price fluctuations and reduce abrupt sell-offs that often trigger sharp market corrections. However, Arab Chain points out that the current scenario differs slightly. Both price levels and leverage ratios have declined simultaneously, indicating that spot market buying has not picked up to offset selling activity. “The lack of strong demand in the spot market weakens the probability of a rapid recovery,” the analyst wrote. This trend highlights a more cautious approach from traders, potentially reflecting macroeconomic uncertainties or a wait-and-see attitude ahead of key market developments. The estimated leverage ratio on Binance is considered a critical indicator for short-term sentiment. A high leverage ratio suggests speculative positions are dominating the market, making it more vulnerable to sudden price swings. Conversely, a falling ratio can indicate risk management among traders or widespread liquidations, both of which can temporarily ease volatility. Arab Chain emphasizes that this metric acts as an “early radar” for potential shifts in market momentum. Altcoin Deposits Signal Increased Trading Activity In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant’s Maartunn observed a significant increase in altcoin deposits to Binance, with a seven-day transaction count exceeding 45,000, the highest level since late 2024. This surge in activity coincided with Bitcoin’s recent push above $112,000, suggesting traders are preparing to adjust their positions across a wider range of digital assets. Deposits to exchanges are often interpreted as a signal of upcoming trading activity, as funds are moved from wallets to platforms where they can be quickly exchanged. Whether this results in increased buying or selling depends on how the broader market evolves in the coming days. The uptick in deposits could indicate growing interest in altcoins as traders look for opportunities beyond Bitcoin amid its recent stagnation.

Shares of Galaxy Digital faced a significant decline on Tuesday following the release of disappointing quarterly earnings and revenue figures. The crypto-investment and data-center company reported earnings per share of $0.8 for the second quarter, falling short of Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $0.18. Galaxy Digital Shares Plunge 10% Revenue for the period totaled $9.1 billion, markedly below analysts’ expectations of $13.9 billion. Consequently, Galaxy’s stock, GLXY, plummeted by 10%, settling at $27.68. According to Barron’s, the downturn can be attributed to a broader trend affecting the cryptocurrency sector, where trading volumes have waned significantly since spring, pushing digital assets like Bitcoin to retrace 7% below its record price peak.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Macro Purgatory—Top Analyst Says Q4 Or Bust Galaxy reported a 22% decrease in digital-asset trading volumes from the first quarter, primarily driven by reduced spot-trading activity. The firm’s crypto sales, which represent its largest revenue stream, fell to $8.6 billion in the second quarter, down from $12.8 billion in the first quarter and $8.8 billion a year prior. Despite the disappointing earnings report, there was some positive news on the horizon. Galaxy announced that CoreWeave has committed to utilizing all the electrical power approved at its Helios data-center campus in West Texas, where construction is reportedly proceeding on schedule.  Additionally, Galaxy has agreed to acquire an extra 160 acres of land and a 1 gigawatt load interconnection request adjacent to the campus.  CEO Mike Novogratz expressed optimism about the Helios project, stating, “Helios will be a top five data center in the world if we get that fully built out.” The company anticipates generating revenue from its data-center operations in the first half of 2026. In light of the CoreWeave announcement and the expanded capacity potential at Helios, Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley noted that shares might be undervalued, suggesting they should trade higher. The firm has rated Galaxy stock as Overweight, with a price target of $36. Coinbase Unveils $2 Billion Senior Notes Offering In related news, Coinbase Global also experienced a slight dip in its stock, which fell by 1% on Tuesday following the announcement of a $2 billion offering of convertible senior notes aimed at qualified institutional buyers.  This offering includes $1 billion in notes maturing in 2029 and another $1 billion due in 2032. Additionally, initial purchasers will have the option to acquire up to $150 million more of each series.

Shiba Inu’s blockchain platform, Shibarium, is reportedly stepping beyond its original role as a  Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution. In a recent announcement, the development team revealed that Shibarium is now positioned as the core infrastructure for a decentralized, community-led future, highlighting its broader functionality and long-term vision for the evolving ecosystem. Shibarium Evolves Beyond Layer 2 Solution On August 4, the Shiba Inu team behind Shibarium clarified in an X social media post that the platform is more than just a Layer 2 scaling solution. They described it as a robust infrastructure designed to power a fully decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. This positioning marks a strategic expansion of Shibarium’s role in the broader blockchain space, emphasizing its importance as a foundational layer for both innovation and governance.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Unveils New Developer Hub Updates — Here’s The 411 Initially introduced as a Layer 2 built on the Ethereum blockchain to provide scalable and low-cost transactions, Shibarium’s evolution reflects a deliberate shift towards multifunctional utility. The team has outlined the platform’s capacity to support on-chain governance structures, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and real-world applications. This indicates Shibarium’s readiness to serve as a multi-purpose blockchain ecosystem rather than a single-purpose scaling solution.  Another key component highlighted by the Shiba Inu team is Shibarium’s ability to allow developers to build freely on the network while empowering communities to govern their protocols independently. This dual emphasis on infrastructure and self-governance aligns with the core principles of decentralization, giving Shibarium the potential to become a breeding ground for next-generation blockchain applications.  Compared to other Layer 2 solutions that primarily focus on throughput and transaction fees, the Shiba Inu team notes that Shibarium integrates the above features within a framework geared toward long-term sustainability and utility. In doing so, the team presents Shibarium as a dynamic platform where resilience and innovation converge to support a decentralized future.  WoofSwap Proposes Major Updates For Shibarium WoofSwap, a key community voice within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, released a set of reform proposals on X, aimed at enhancing Shibarium’s scalability, utility, and overall appeal. At the center of the suggestions is a potential revision to the 20 million BONE token allocation, with WoofSwap urging community input to fine-tune the distribution.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu Bearish Reversal Setup Says Dump Below $0.000013 Is Coming Alongside tokenomics adjustments, the proposal targets technical improvements such as optimizing cross-chain speed to achieve a near one-minute transaction finality, positioning Shibarium as a faster and more competitive Layer 2 network. Other key technical refinements include streamlining smart contracts to lower Ethereum gas fees and expanding support for trendline cross-chain tokens.  Beyond infrastructure, the proposal addresses governance and engagement for Shibarium. Decentralization also remains a priority, with a call to gradually open validator nodes while maintaining strict security standards. WoofSwap also urged influencers to be more cautious with their public roles, highlighting the need for credibility as Shibarium evolves. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Succinct, a decentralized prover network revolutionizing zero-knowledge (ZK) infrastructure, has officially launched its mainnet and native token, PROVE. The launch, which took place on August 5, 2025, marks a major milestone in the evolution of cryptographic verifiability and scalability in the Web3 ecosystem. Related Reading: $255 Solana? Supply Shock Fuels Bullish Forecast Following the mainnet debut, the PROVE token was listed on Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange.

Bitget’s Succinct (PROVE) Listing Fuels Market Momentum Bitget added PROVE to its Innovation Zone, opening spot trading for the PROVE/USDT pair on August 5, 2025. To incentivize adoption, the exchange launched a CandyBomb campaign featuring 66,666 PROVE in total rewards for traders and depositors. This strategic listing allows users to engage with PROVE through both trading and staking activities. The token will also be listed on Binance, where it carries a Seed Tag and supports multiple trading pairs, further increasing its visibility and liquidity. Succinct (PROVE) is trading near $1.2 and analysts note signs of consolidation ahead of a possible surge. PROVE's price trends to the upside on low timeframes, following its debut on major crypto exchanges. Source: PROVEUSD on Tradingview  Powering the Future of ZK Infrastructure The PROVE token is the backbone of the Succinct Prover Network, a decentralized, two-sided marketplace where developers request ZK proofs and independent provers compete to fulfill them. Unlike traditional systems that require complex and costly infrastructure, Succinct simplifies the integration of ZK proofs via a general-purpose zkVM that supports languages like Rust. Currently, the network supports 35+ protocols, has processed over 5 million proofs, and secures more than $4 billion in value. Notable partners include Polygon, Mantle, Lido, and Celestia. Looking Ahead Succinct’s approach to verifiable computation is drawing comparisons to foundational internet protocols, with CTO John Guibas noting, “Our goal was to make proving infrastructure accessible at internet scale.” With strong developer traction, dual exchange listings, and a scalable infrastructure model, Succinct is well-positioned to become a core component of blockchain scalability and privacy.

Bitcoin is showing signs of life after a sharp drop from the $115,000 level, with bullish momentum quietly rebuilding beneath the surface. As volatility settles, a potential recovery is beginning to take shape, fueled by key technical signals on lower timeframes. With the market stabilizing, the next move could define the short-term trend. Sharp Pullback Follows Rejection At $115,000 Resistance Zone Providing an update on the current state of the crypto market, Kurnia Bijaksana pointed out that Bitcoin, along with several altcoins, experienced a sharp decline last night. The sudden move caught the attention of traders and analysts alike, prompting a closer look at both the technical and fundamental factors driving the action. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buying Spree Ends On Coinbase: Temporary Pause Or Trend Shift? From a purely technical perspective, the decline appears to have been triggered by Bitcoin hitting a key resistance zone near the $115,000 level. Despite the pullback, Kurnia observed that Bitcoin’s price is now showing early signs of recovery. This area has acted as a ceiling for prices in recent sessions, and the rejection sparked selling pressure across the broader crypto market.  However, on the intraday chart, a rebound is already underway, suggesting that buyers are stepping in to defend key levels and potentially absorb the recent selling. Whether this bounce can turn into a sustained move higher remains to be seen, but for now, the charts suggest that Bitcoin may be stabilizing after the initial drop. 1-Hour Chart Reveals Early Signs Of A Trend Reversal Kurnia Bijaksana provided further analysis, focusing on Bitcoin’s price action within the 1-hour timeframe. According to the analyst, BTC is currently forming a higher low—a classic indicator that signals growing bullish momentum and the potential for an upward continuation in the near term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Pullback Remains Within Normal Volatility Range: Drawdown Analysis Shows No Signs Of Panic Bijaksana also highlighted the potential development of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is typically seen as a strong bullish reversal signal. In this case, the neckline of the pattern is located around the $115,300 level, a key resistance zone that Bitcoin must break through to confirm further upside. If Bitcoin manages to break and hold above this neckline, Bijaksana believes it could trigger a measured move toward the $118,000 level. A confirmation of this breakout would provide a clear bullish signal, possibly paving the way for continued strength in the coming sessions. Bitcoin is currently priced around $114,315, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $2.2 trillion. Over the past 24 hours, it has recorded a trading volume of more than $58.8 billion, reflecting strong market activity. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Meme coins are known for hype, volatility, and short lifespans. But Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is trying to rewrite that narrative. With over $16M raised across multiple presale stages, the project is building more than a token – it’s launching its own Layer 2 blockchain for meme coins, complete with zero-tax trading, bot protection, and a fully integrated launchpad for new projects. As speculation rages across the meme coin sector, Little Pepe is positioning itself as the infrastructure that future meme tokens can rely on – offering fast, secure, and low-cost transactions on a blockchain purpose-built for virality. Little Pepe Story So Far – Viral From Birth Little Pepe came out swinging, with strong presale momentum as soon as it launched. Stage 1: Sold out in 3 days – $500K raised at $0.001 per token Stage 2: Price bumped to $0.0011-$0.0015, demand increased – $1.23M+ raised Stage 3: Token price rose to $0.0012 Stage 4: The presale raised $2.9M Stage 5: Price is at $0.0014, and the raise is over $5.1M Fast-forward a bit, and the presale now sits at Stage 9. Tokens cost $0.0019 – and over $16.3M has poured into the presale so far. Why all the interest? Most meme coins are just ERC-20 tokens. Little Pepe is building the chain those meme coins will want to launch on. Most of the best meme coins ride the Ethereum or Solana wave, but both chains come with major downsides: high gas fees, slow confirmations, and vulnerable bot manipulation. Little Pepe’s Layer 2 directly addresses these pain points: Ultra-low gas fees for cheaper trading and better access for retail users Fast finality means no more waiting for confirmations during hype moments Bot protection provides built-in anti-sniping and fairer launches That said, Little Pepe is EVM-compatible, so existing dApps and token contracts can migrate seamlessly. Tokenomics support the presale, with over 26% reserved directly for the presale and another 30% kept for on-chain reserves. Real Utility – A Launchpad Built for Meme Coin Creators At the heart of Little Pepe’s ecosystem is Pepe’s Pump Pad, a user-friendly launchpad designed to make deploying new meme coins effortless and secure. Bypass the fuss of Ethereum launches and setting up smart contracts. With the Pump Pad, users can create tokens without writing a single line of code, lock liquidity automatically, and integrate default smart contract security measures. The system also includes built-in bot protection and allows for instant deployment on Little Pepe’s high-speed Layer 2 blockchain. Little Pepe’s Pump Pad gives meme coin creators a safe, streamlined platform to launch without losing any of that distinctive meme coin flair.. What’s Next for Little Pepe? Little Pepe’s development roadmap follows a quirky but clear trajectory: Pregnancy, Birth, and Growth. The current phase – Pregnancy – focuses on presale fundraising and community building. The upcoming Birth phase will introduce major exchange listings, first on DEXs, then expanding to CEXs as soon as possible. The Birth phase will also see an expanded marketing campaign. The final phase – Growth – will see the launch of the full Layer 2 blockchain and the rollout of ecosystem tools and partner integrations. After the presale concludes, users will be able to claim their tokens directly via the official website. Little Pepe enforces a zero-tax policy, meaning no buy or sell fees – a rare move in the meme coin space that encourages frequent and frictionless trading on-chain. The $777K Giveaway: How to Enter What’s one reason for all the buzz around Little Pepe? A massive $777K giveaway. A total of 10 winners will receive $77K each in $LILPEPE tokens. Entering is simple: participants must purchase at least $100 worth of tokens during the presale and complete social media engagement tasks – such as following and sharing content on X and Telegram. The more actions a participant completes, the higher their chances of winning one of the coveted $77K prizes. Little Pepe – Born to Run In a sea of copy-paste meme coins, Little Pepe is building real infrastructure. From its Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 chain to its one-click launchpad and zero-tax trading model, the project looks to transform the meme coin meta in 2025 and beyond. To join the presale, connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet to the presale website. Buy $LILPEPE with $ETH or $USDT (ERC-20). You can also pay with a card through the official Little Pepe website. With over $16M raised and presale prices still under $0.0020, $LILPEPE might be one of the few frog tokens with real legs. Do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

Компания Strategy (ранее MicroStrategy) объявила, что за прошлую неделю приобрела дополнительный биткоин ($BTC) на сумму $2,46 млрд. С 28 июля по 3 августа компания купила еще 21 021 токен, доведя общий запас до 628 791 $BTC (что сейчас примерно оценивается в $72,18 млрд). Это третья по величине покупка в долларовом эквиваленте за всю историю накопления компании топ-крипты за последние пять лет. И это отличные новости для лучших криптопресейлов лета. Когда $BTC получает поддержку крупных институциональных игроков, это обычно поднимает общий рыночный настрой и вызывает новый интерес к проектам на ранних стадиях. Стратегия Сэйлора: покупать и хранить $BTC в течение 21 года В недавнем интервью основатель Strategy Майкл Сэйлор подтвердил долгосрочное видение компании. Он рассказал, что планируют держать $BTC до 21 года, ожидая доходность не менее 50% в год и усиление позиций с течением времени. Подтверждая долгосрочный тезис Сэйлора, стоимость BTC, которая сейчас оценивается в $114 000, выросла более чем на 125%. Поэтому неудивительно, что Strategy остается крупнейшим корпоративным держателем биткоинов в мире. И ее подход приносит свои плоды. Во втором квартале 2025 года компания отчиталась об операционной прибыли в размере $14 млрд, которая почти полностью обеспечена активами в $BTC, что на целых 7000% больше, чем в следующем году. Учитывая, что такие крупные игроки, как Strategy, идут ва-банк на $BTC, легко понять, почему инвесторы проявляют все больший интерес к ранним криптопроектам, таким как Maxi Doge ($MAXI), Snorter Token ($SNORT) и blockDAG ($DAG). Это особенно актуально, если принять во внимание, что они доступны по самым низким ценам до момента появления на крупных биржах. 1. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – Shiba Inu на стероидах, созданная для трейдеров с 1 000x плечом Вдохновленная знаменитым персонажем Shiba Inu, как и легендарные мем-коины $DOGE и $SHIB, “стероидный” Maxi Doge ($MAXI) стремительно привлекает внимание. С момента запуска на прошлой неделе проект уже собрал более $359 000 на предпродаже. Ранний успех объясняется тем, что токен изначально создан для торговли с плечом 1 000x и призван передать ощущение “$MAXI pump”. Проект ориентирован на трейдеров, которые ищут максимальные риски ради взрывных прибылей, что идеально вписывается в современную культуру мем-криптовалют. Источник: Maxi Doge Его токеномика также, вероятно, привлекает внимание. Значительные 40% от общего предложения токенов выделены на маркетинг, а дополнительные 25% идут в Фонд Maxi для “максимальной экспозиции проекта и оптимальной динамики пампа” – каждое из этих решений демонстрирует приверженность устойчивости проекта. То, что также отличает $MAXI, – это план подключения к платформам фьючерсной торговли, как отмечено в четвертой фазе дорожной карты. Для спекулятивной мем-монеты это знаменует смелый шаг к практическому использованию и долгосрочной актуальности. Возьмем, к примеру, $SHIB. Он превратился из мем-монеты в богатый утилитами альткоин со своей собственной децентрализованной биржей (ShibaSwap), коллекционной карточной игрой (Shiba Eternity) и блокчейн-сетью Layer 2 (Shibarium). Подпитываемый растущим использованием dApp, $SHIB может подняться с текущей цены $0,00001220 до $0,000041 в следующем году. Если $MAXI последует аналогичным путем, его предпродажа на раннем этапе может стать редкой возможностью до того, как спрос выйдет из-под контроля. Вы можете приобрести $MAXI на предпродаже всего за $0,0002505, используя $ETH, $USDT, $USDC или $BNB. 2. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Монета, вдохновленная трубкозубом, готовая вынюхать высокопотенциальные криптовалюты Snorter Token ($SNORT) является основой Snorter Bot – торгового бота в Telegram. После запуска в этом квартале он поможет вам выявлять взрывные проекты до того, как они станут вирусными и потенциально вырастут в 1000 раз. Источник: Snorter Token Snorter Bot сначала появится в сети Solana, чтобы использовать ее высокую скорость и низкие комиссии, затем расширится на Ethereum и BNB Chain, а позже получит поддержку Polygon и Base. Такой мультичейн-подход обеспечит пользователям гибкость торговли на самых активных криптоэкосистемах. Бот также оснащен системой обнаружения rug pull и honeypot, чтобы помочь избежать мошеннических проектов. С учетом того, что рынок криптотрейдинговых ботов прогнозируется с ростом примерно на 14% CAGR и может достичь $154 млрд к 2033 году, $SNORT нацелен на развитие вместе с индустрией. Особенно это актуально, поскольку токен открывает доступ к премиальным функциям, правам управления и стейкингу с доходностью 156% годовых. Токен $SNORT сейчас можно купить на предпродаже по $0,1003. Сейчас удачный момент для участия, так как после выхода на биржи токен может торговаться около $0,94, что сулит потенциальную прибыль до ~836%. 3. BlockDAG ($DAG) – Усиливает основной слой блокчейна и привлекает свыше $362 млн $DAG – это основа BlockDAG, передового блокчейна первого уровня, который сочетает безопасность подтверждения работы (PoW) как у Биткоина и скорость и масштабируемость собственной архитектуры на основе направленного ацикличного графа (DAG). Проще говоря, он позволяет параллельно подтверждать блоки, обрабатывая тысячи транзакций в секунду. Будучи полностью совместимым с EVM, он облегчает доступ и разработку. Благодаря этому смарт-контракты и dApps на базе Ethereum легко запускаются в сети с минимальными изменениями. В BlockDAG также есть такие функции, как конструктор смарт-контрактов без кода, мобильный майнинг (через приложение X1 Miner) и гибкие модули распределения комиссий для создателей dApps. Источник: BlockDAG $DAG используется для оплаты комиссий за транзакции, взаимодействия со смарт-контрактами и вознаграждений сообщества, что делает его мощным utility-токеном с высоким потенциалом роста. Успех на раннем этапе предпродажи подчеркивает значимость токена: он уже привлек свыше $362 миллионов, несмотря на то что один $DAG в настоящее время стоит всего $0,0016 и пока не торгуется на крупных биржах, как было обещано – MEXC, Coinstore, BitMart. Новые криптовалюты готовы к росту вместе с $BTC С крупными институтами вроде Strategy, совершающими миллиардные движения в $BTC и демонстрирующими долгосрочный интерес к криптовалютам, импульс наверняка продолжит нарастать во всем пространстве. Независимо от того, интересуетесь ли вы мем-монетами вроде Maxi Doge ($MAXI), торговыми ботами как Snorter Token ($SNORT) или новаторскими Layer 1 инициативами наподобие BlockDAG, каждый из этих проектов на ранней стадии может выиграть от растущего рыночного оптимизма.

As Solana (SOL) attempts to reclaim a crucial level, a market watcher forecasted a massive rally for this quarter. However, some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency will retest the range lows soon. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin’s Price Discovery Rally Over? This Week’s Performance May Hold The Answer Solana Nears Crucial Level On Tuesday, Solana surged 9.6% from the recent lows, driven by the start of Solana Mobile’s global shipments of the Seeker, its second-generation Web3 smartphone, to over 50 countries. The news propelled the altcoin to a multi-day high of $171, fueling bullish sentiment among investors before its price retraced to the mid-zone of its local range. Notably, SOL has been hovering between the $140-$180 range since the April-May breakout, attempting to reclaim the local high for the past three months. During the June correction, SOL momentarily lost its local range lows, retesting the $120-$130 zone as support. However, the cryptocurrency reclaimed its range amid the July rally, briefly breaking out of the upper boundary and hitting a five-month high of $206 two weeks ago. Since then, Solana has seen a 25% correction from the highs to the mid-zone of its local price range, currently trading between the $160-$164 levels. Amid its recent performance, analyst Ali Martinez highlighted SOL’s most crucial levels, based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicator. According to the chart, the key support area for the altcoin is around the $165 mark, where the largest supply cluster is with 44.4 million SOL, or 7.42% of the supply. As a result, Solana must reclaim the $165 level soon, or it will risk turning this key level into a key resistance, leading to further downside. Nonetheless, if this level is reclaimed, then the altcoin would have to retest the crucial resistance levels around $177 and $189, where investors have also accumulated 27.6 million and 23.6 million SOL, respectively. SOL Preparing For The ‘Real’ Run? Analyst Crypto Jelle highlighted Solana’s recent price action, asserting that SOL is “quietly trending higher” with higher lows and turning resistance levels as support. The market watcher forecasted that Solana would reach a new all-time high this quarter, as he doubts “the train stops anytime soon” once it finally breaks out of the $200 resistance. Meanwhile, Crypto Batman suggested that the altcoin will see another correction soon. To the analyst, Solana could have a 10% drop to its four-month ascending support line, which sits around the $150 level, before “the real move.” Per the chart, the cryptocurrency has bounced from this support line twice, in April and June, before rallying to local highs during the May and July price breakouts. Related Reading: Cardano Marks Historical Milestone With Governance Vote, Hoskinson Reacts Similarly, analyst Ted Pillows asserted that SOL could see a significant rally this year despite the recent underperformance, as network activity remains strong. He predicted a 10%-15% correction, affirming that “a dip towards $140-$150 before reversal is highly likely to happen.” As of this writing, Solana is trading at $$163, a 3.3% decline in the daily timeframe.

The Tokyo-based company added 463 more Bitcoins to its treasury, investing approximately $52 million and bringing its total holdings near the $2 billion mark. As Japan’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin buyer, Metaplanet continues to turn heads in both the crypto and traditional finance worlds. But while the corporate giant stacks coins like a vault on steroids, retail investors are focusing their attention elsewhere. But while the corporate giant stacks coins like a vault on steroids, retail investors are turning their attention elsewhere. A new crypto project is catching fire – one with memes, momentum, and a whole lot of buzz – called Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). Let’s examine Metaplanet’s latest move more closely and why savvy investors might be watching $HYPER next. Metaplanet Buys $52M Worth of Bitcoin, Nears $2B in Holdings Metaplanet has doubled down on its Bitcoin strategy by purchasing 463 more $BTC at an average price of $119,5K per coin. That brings its total holdings to 17,595 $BTC, valued at roughly $1.8B. The Tokyo-based firm now ranks among the top corporate Bitcoin holders globally, sitting just behind giants like Strategy. This move is a strategic effort to safeguard shareholder value amid rising inflation and a weakening yen. Metaplanet uses a metric called ‘$BTC Yield,’ which monitors the growth of its Bitcoin holdings relative to share dilution to evaluate its performance. Between July 1 and August 4, the company posted a $BTC Yield of 24.6%. In Q2 alone, it recorded an impressive 129.4% $BTC Yield with 5,237 $BTC gained – worth about $604M at that time. It’s a bold, crypto-forward strategy that’s paying off and transforming how corporate treasuries are managed. Bitcoin Hyper: The Layer 2 That’s Supercharging Bitcoin Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the fastest Layer 2 ever built for Bitcoin. It uses the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to deliver sub-second transactions and near-zero gas fees. This high-performance infrastructure brings smart contracts, meme coins, dApps, and DeFi directly into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin Hyper functions as Bitcoin’s execution layer, where all activity – payments, trading, on-chain governance, and development – occurs. Bitcoin provides the foundation. $HYPER adds the speed and flexibility needed to support real-world use cases. Since the beginning, Bitcoin Hyper has enabled the smooth transfer of assets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other networks. Cross-chain functionality isn’t just an add-on – it’s integral to the system. Developers can access comprehensive tools, support, and incentives to build within the ecosystem. $HYPER powers everything. It’s used for transactions, staking, governance, and token launches. The network is designed to scale, grow, and support the next generation of Bitcoin-native apps and communities. Whether you’re launching a DAO or trading a meme coin, this is where it all happens. It’s fast, it’s meme-ready, and it’s finally making Bitcoin feel modern. Why $HYPER Is Getting So Much Attention The crypto presale has already passed $7M, and right now you can still buy $HYPER for just $0.012525. Investors are getting in early to earn staking rewards, airdrops, governance rights, and priority access to new launches within the Bitcoin Hyper ecosystem. Bitcoin Hyper combines strong fundamentals with high-speed infrastructure and a cross-chain design that links Bitcoin with Ethereum, Solana, and more. The project supports fast growth, active development, and participation from both users and builders. The timing is also increasing interest. Metaplanet’s recent $52M Bitcoin purchase demonstrates rising institutional demand for $BTC exposure. As focus shifts toward Bitcoin’s potential, many seek ways to get involved beyond just holding coins. Bitcoin Hyper offers a Layer 2 solution that brings speed, smart contracts, and culture into the mix, making it a compelling option for today’s crypto users. The Bigger Bitcoin Picture Metaplanet continues to expand its position in Bitcoin, treating it as a long-term part of its corporate direction. The recent $52M buy shows growing confidence in $BTC as a core asset, not just a temporary solution. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Hyper is attracting retail investors with a fresh approach – speed, usability, and real cross-chain functionality. It brings Bitcoin into the world of smart contracts, meme coins, and on-chain communities. Together, both moves highlight how interest in Bitcoin is evolving at every level of the market.

Рынок биткоина всегда отличался цикличностью: за длительными периодами роста цен часто следовали периоды снижения. Однако за последние несколько недель различные сегменты криптосообщества объявили теорию циклов BTC “мертвой” и устаревшей. В различных анализах циклической теории аналитики часто связывают недавние изменения в динамике рынка с новой эрой институционального участия через биржевые инвестиционные фонды (ETF). Согласно последней оценке новой структуры рынка, новые институциональные игроки также могут сыграть свою роль в наступлении следующего “медвежьего” рынка. Почему появление новых корпораций может привести к следующему “медвежьему” рынку В новом посте в социальной сети криптоаналитик Бурак Тамак объяснил, как новые корпоративные биткоин-инвесторы могут быть причастны к следующему “медвежьему” рынку биткоина. Криптоэксперт сделал это заявление в ответ на откровения финансового эксперта Лин Олдена о текущем положении компании Strategy, занимающейся бизнес-аналитикой, на рынке BTC. Олден рассказал о ключевом выводе из интервью с председателем совета директоров Strategy Майклом Сэйлором, который заявил, что компания по-прежнему может выполнять свои обязательства (например, выплачивать привилегированные дивиденды) даже при коррекции цены биткоина на 80%. Финансовый эксперт отмечает, что Сэйлор признал, что только более глубокая коррекция может создать потенциальные проблемы. Глава Strategy сказал в прямом эфире: Я думаю, что наша структура стабильна и мы не пропустим ни одной выплаты дивидендов при просадке на 80%. При просадке на 90–95% теоретически можно приостановить что-то на некоторое время, но в конечном счете вы вернетесь к этому. Тамак заявил, что позиции Strategy на рынке в некоторой степени защищены, пока цена биткоина не вернётся к уровню в 22 000 долларов. По мнению криптоаналитика, у других компаний ситуация иная, поскольку они относительно недавно вышли на рынок и их цены приобретения выше, чем у Strategy. В отличие от инвест-стратегии Strategy, которая совершила свою первую покупку до бычьего ралли 2020 года и пережила медвежий сезон 2022 года, Тамак сообщила, что новые компании приобрели свои первые BTC по ценам, близким к максимальным. В результате новые институциональные организации с большей вероятностью спровоцируют медвежий рынок биткоина из-за своей повышенной склонности к капитуляции в случае резкого падения цены главной криптовалюты. TOKEN6900: сможет ли этот новый мем-коин принести 1000-кратную прибыль? По мере приближения конца летнего торгового сезона, инвесторы, которые следят за альткоинами с низкой рыночной капитализацией и потенциалом резкого роста, все чаще обращают внимание именно на Token6900 как на один из самых интересных вариантов. Token6900 ($T6900) – как раз подходящий вариант. Это относительно новый проект, который фокусируется на конкретных применениях в рамках децентрализованных приложений (dApps). С интуитивно доступным пользовательским интерфейсом и сильной поддержкой сообщества, $T6900 имеет цель построить разнообразную токен-экосистему с четкой практической ценностью. Если вы готовы отойти от идей супер-полезности и просто насладиться моментом, переходите на официальный сайт TOKEN6900 и вступайте в ряды криптоэнтузиастов новой волны.

Barry Silbert has made a notable return to Grayscale Investments, the asset management company and crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer, as chairman, just weeks after the crypto asset manager filed confidentially for an initial public offering (IPO) in the US.  Silbert, who founded Grayscale in 2013, takes over from Mark Shifke, who will remain on the board as the company prepares for its future as a publicly traded entity. This leadership transition also coincides with Grayscale’s plans to bring in independent directors to strengthen its governance. New Executive Team At Grayscale In a significant move to bolster its executive team, Grayscale has appointed four professionals with extensive backgrounds in traditional finance (TradFi).  According to the firm’s announcement made on Monday, the new hires include Diana Zhang as Chief Operating Officer, Ramona Boston as Chief Marketing Officer, Andrea Williams as Chief Communications Officer, and Maxwell Rosenthal as Chief Human Resources Officer.  Related Reading: Top Analyst Says Bitcoin Is Trapped: ‘Nothing To Do Until October’ These executives join Grayscale from firms such as Bridgewater, Apollo, Goldman Sachs, and Citadel, reporting directly to CEO Peter Mintzberg, who has been at the helm since last year. Mintzberg stated:  This blend of institutional rigor and entrepreneurial drive shapes every aspect of how we operate at Grayscale, enabling us to deliver clients innovative investment strategies with the operating integrity they expect from a trusted partner. Silbert’s return comes at a critical juncture for the company, following a turbulent period marked by regulatory scrutiny. He stepped down as chairman in late 2023, just before the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) ruling on spot Bitcoin ETFs, including Grayscale’s long-standing effort to convert its Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an ETF.  Around the same time, Silbert’s parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), faced legal challenges from New York’s attorney general regarding the collapse of crypto lending company Genesis, and its connections to crypto exchange Gemini’s Earn program, with Silbert himself named in the lawsuit. Regulatory Headwinds In his statement following the announcement, Silbert expressed his enthusiasm about rejoining Grayscale, emphasizing his belief in the company’s direction and the team leading it. Silbert noted: When I founded Grayscale in 2013, we saw an enormous opportunity to pioneer a new model for accessing and investing in digital assets, and to build the operational infrastructure that investors would ultimately demand. Today, I continue to have deep conviction in the company’s long-term positioning and in the leadership team guiding it forward. Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Investors Not To Let Fear Dictate Moves As Long As Price Holds This Level Grayscale currently manages over $35 billion across a variety of crypto investment products, including spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as well as diversified digital asset funds. Earlier this year, DCG reached a $38 million settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations of misleading investors through Genesis Global Capital, a subsidiary of DCG.  The settlement adds to the ongoing regulatory challenges faced by DCG, as New York Attorney General Letitia James has also sued Gemini, Genesis, and DCG over a crypto lending program, alleging they defrauded over 29,000 New Yorkers while concealing $1.1 billion in losses.

Macro analyst Alex Krüger says the weekend’s sell-off has likely marked a tradable low for the crypto market, arguing that the move closely mirrors the 2024 “August crash” that bottomed on a Monday. “I see the current move as a smaller scale replay of last year’s August crash (which bottomed on Monday),” Krüger wrote on late-Friday in a post on X, adding that he would “be looking to add to longs on Monday, ideally before the US cash open,” if the overnight session remained panicky. He framed the decline as a classic shakeout rather than the start of a new downtrend. Krüger’s read hinges on macro first, crypto second. He notes that 2024’s August break came in a sequence—BoJ tightening, a hawkish FOMC, then weak payrolls—and he sees the present sequence as “similar.” There was no carry-trade impulse this time, he said, but markets digested a modestly hawkish Fed, mixed Big Tech earnings, a hotter-than-expected PCE inflation print, and finally a “horrid” US payrolls report—after which risk assets slid in tandem and crypto tracked equities lower. The latest PCE data, released July 31, showed headline inflation accelerating to 2.6% year over year and core PCE at 2.8%, a notch above forecasts—what Krüger summarized as “slightly hot.” Related Reading: Crypto Hacks Surge 27% In July: $142M Stolen As 2025 Trend Continues Earnings tape-bombs reinforced the risk-off mood. Microsoft and Meta beat estimates and initially rallied, while Apple’s reception was cooler and Amazon’s results were “very poorly received,” with AMZN sliding about 7–8% as investors questioned AWS’s momentum. Coinbase’s report landed at the other extreme for crypto beta: revenue missed expectations and the stock fell, a backdrop Krüger called “dreadful” for sentiment. “Even though the aforementioned concerns emboldened bears, this week’s move has been mainly a macro story, given how crypto traded mostly in line with equity indices,” he wrote. He also flagged an unusual political and geopolitical coda to this weekend’s rout. After the weak jobs report—plus an unusually stark revision by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May and June were revised down by a combined 258,000 jobs—markets lurched, and the White House’s subsequent decision to reposition two US nuclear submarines amid heated exchanges with Moscow added to stress, he said. Kremlin officials later tried to downplay escalation risk, calling the submarine moves “routine.” Krüger called the nuclear rhetoric and presidential barbs at the Fed “noise” for markets, but said the combination likely helped flush leveraged positions into the close. On crypto-specific drivers, Krüger listed a cluster of narratives that, in his view, amplified bearish conviction without changing the macro center of gravity: disappointing Coinbase results; debate around whether MicroStrategy could curtail its at-the-market equity issuance, limiting incremental BTC buys; questions about the sustainability of “DATs” (digital-asset treasury companies) tied to ETH; and, on the other side of the ledger, the SEC’s new “Project Crypto,” a policy push to modernize securities rules and move more market infrastructure on-chain—“an extremely bullish development that should drive inflows later in the year,” as he put it. The SEC’s chair outlined “American Leadership in the Digital Finance Revolution” last week, framing tokenization and on-chain market plumbing as a regulatory priority.

He remains constructive into the fourth quarter, citing three pillars: a still-solid US economy, the start of Fed rate cuts, and a steadily improving regulatory climate that should broaden institutional and retail participation. Policy churn could amplify that path. Krüger pointed to Fed Governor Adriana Kugler’s resignation—effective this month—as a potentially market-relevant shift because it hands the White House an earlier-than-expected Board vacancy, and to former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh’s call for a new “Treasury–Fed accord” as a signpost for constraints on central-bank independence. On Monday he added, “This will prove to be very important later on,” citing Warsh’s argument about “limits on the Fed’s independence to help the govt with its finances.” Whether those institutional dynamics translate into earlier or deeper rate cuts remains open, but markets have already moved to price odds to 85% for a September cut following the payrolls miss. Krüger’s longer arc is unabashedly bullish but explicitly conditional on the macro. “I remain bullish on crypto into Q4,” he wrote, while warning that ETH-linked treasury plays could “lose momentum dramatically” later in the year if goods inflation re-accelerates as corporates pass tariffs through. He set a one-year Bitcoin target for mid-2026 at $200,000–$250,000—“extreme, but possible”—on the premise that a more dovish Fed in 2026 would coincide with ongoing adoption. For now, he is treating last week’s cascade as an echo of 2024’s Monday bottom. As he put it: “Now let’s see how this ages.” At press time, BTC recovered to $ Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is down 3.6% over the past week, falling from around $119,800 to the $114,500 range at the time of writing. This weakening price action is also reflected in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), most notably in BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, which saw over $2.6 billion in outflows on August 1. IBIT Bitcoin ETF Sees Massive Outflows According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake by contributor Amr Taha, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded more than $2.6 billion in outflows on August 1 – the highest figure in the past two months across all listed Bitcoin ETFs. Taha highlighted that the sharp reversal in institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs comes after several weeks of positive inflows, and indicates a growing sense of caution among ETF investors. Data from SoSoValue confirms the trend.

This marked the end of a seven-week streak of positive inflows, which had totaled more than $10 billion. Another important point is that the $2.6 billion outflow from BlackRock’s IBIT ETF was not mirrored by other ETFs. Analyst Taha also identified a correlation between IBIT outflows and Binance-origin USDT transfers on the Tron network. In his analysis, the CryptoQuant contributor noted that alongside the IBIT outflows, USDT transfers on Tron from Binance fell from approximately $2 billion to $1.3 billion – a sharp 35% decline. Taha added: The timing strongly suggests a link between the ETF-driven selling pressure and the accelerated pace of stablecoin withdrawal via Tron, a blockchain renowned for fast and cost-efficient transactions. Tron network’s low fees and speed make it a preferred blockchain for both retail and institutional stablecoin transfers. Therefore, a drop in USDT transfers from Binance – occurring in tandem with IBIT outflows – suggests that institutional interest in BTC may be temporarily cooling off. Recent on-chain data shows Binance continues to lead other exchanges such as OKX, HTX, and KuCoin in terms of Tron-based USDT transfers. As a result, Binance volume trends often serve as a reliable indicator of investor sentiment shifts. Fresh Data Presents Mixed Forecasts Beyond weakening ETF demand, new exchange data signals potential headwinds for Bitcoin in the near term. For example, Binance’s net taker volume dropped to -$160 million last week, indicating increased sell-side activity.

Crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz recently predicted that BTC could remain range-bound until October 2025. Still, not all signs are bearish. A recent report from CoinShares estimates that Bitcoin could rise to $189,000 if it captures just 2% of global M2 money supply or 5% of gold’s market cap. At press time, BTC trades at $114,494, up 0.3% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com
