Good news for TRX investors as TRON Inc. has filed a $1 billion shelf offering with the U.S. SEC, aiming to acquire up to 3.1 billion TRX tokens. This initiative marks an 849% jump from the firm’s last major token purchase of 365 million TRX in June 2025, which coincided with the start of a bullish TRX rally.

Market watchers are eyeing the $0.35 and $0.40 resistance levels, with the all-time high sitting at $0.44. The shelf offering enables TRON Inc. to gradually accumulate tokens, reducing the risk of market disruption while maintaining steady upward pressure on the price. TRX's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: TRXUSD on Tradingview Institutional Confidence and TRON Whale Activity Soar TRON’s strategic growth has been boosted by a 526% surge in whale transactions, coupled with record-high unrealized profits on the network. Following its successful Nasdaq listing via a $100 million reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, TRON Inc. is increasingly attracting institutional capital. This mirrors corporate strategies like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin reserves, signaling a potential paradigm shift in blockchain finance. Technical indicators remain bullish. TRX sits above key moving averages, with momentum metrics such as MACD and RSI supporting continued price strength. Analysts suggest a breakout above $0.35 could set the stage for a rally toward $0.43. Stablecoin Dominance and Ecosystem Expansion TRON now hosts over $80.8 billion in USDT, surpassing Ethereum in Tether supply and processing over $20 billion in USDT daily. The network’s low-cost infrastructure has made it a preferred choice for stablecoin transactions, bolstering its position in cross-border payments.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell chose to keep interest rates steady, but his remarks on escalating inflation risks from tariffs unsettled crypto markets. Traders on leverage platforms experienced a surge in liquidations as sentiment shifted to risk-averse. $200M in Leveraged Liquidations In less than 60 minutes, over $200M in leveraged crypto positions were forcibly unwound. Bitcoin dropped below $116K, with Ethereum falling about 3%, before both partially recovered. Bitcoin quickly recovered – it is currently back above $118K, though it still logged a daily loss of about 0.8%. Ethereum stabilized around $3,750, finishing down approximately 0.6%. Currently, Bitcoin has returned to its starting point, up 0.7%, while Ethereum is up 2%. Powell’s ‘wait-and-see’ approach: The Fed’s next meeting isn’t until September, giving the board of governors two months to analyze and interpret economic data. Powell appears eager to do this. Early odds for a Fed rate cut are at 39%, according to CME Fedwatch. Overall market strength: Minus a rate hike—virtually impossible—the worst-case scenario was simply the continuation of the current situation. That situation looks pretty good—Bitcoin trading is below but within range of its recent all-time high, the total crypto market cap is rising to nearly $4 trillion, and major tokens like $ETH are surging. Altcoins Bore Brunt of Fed-Prompted Dip Altcoins experienced larger swings: $SOL, $AVAX, and $HYPE each declined by 4–5% before bouncing back; meme tokens $BONK and $PENGU dropped around 10%, then later recovered. In contrast, Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced strong earnings after hours – stocks rising 10% and 6% respectively – bringing a stabilising tone. Matt Mena, from 21Shares, argues that the Fed’s reaction may lag. With consumer spending weakening, unemployment rising, and real yields still restrictive, continued rate tightness could risk a deeper slowdown. At the same time, if the Fed raises rates in September, there’s still time for a response. And on the Bitcoin front, Matt predicts that – rate cut or not – Bitcoin could soon enter another price discovery phase and move back past $120K. Analysts believe Bitcoin could rally toward $150K if the Fed pivots by year-end. That assumes inflation continues cooling and macroeconomic pressure accelerates policymaker shifts. And it would certainly set up the best altcoins for a renewed surge.

Toncoin ($TON) – The Open Network for a Unified Blockchain Future TON – The Open Network – and the Toncoin ($TON) aren’t interested in adding another option to the ever-growing world of blockchains and tokens. Instead, they’re working hard to deliver the first actual Web3 experience by building ordinary and extraordinary blockchain tools on an existing Web2 platform. That means a crypto wallet, dApp integrations (everything from dating apps to bridges), and crypto payments with $TON – all native on Telegram. And with over 900M users on the Telegram platform, that’s an excellent way for TON to get ordinary people to see just how influential crypto can be. $TON itself is up nearly 6% in the past day, riding a wave of interest in a TON blockchain projected to reach 2.6M daily users in 2025. As Altcoins Surge, Powell’s Reluctance Could Be Short-Lived Powell’s messaging revealed the delicate balance between keeping inflation in check and supporting a trending slowdown. While short-term volatility spiked, markets digested the news – altcoins rebounded, and analyst narratives tilted toward optimism should the Fed shift its tone. Down for a bit, but hardly out at all. The outlook remains bullish for Bitcoin and altcoins alike. As always, please remember to do your research before investing; this isn’t financial advice.
Dogecoin is showing signs of recovery, trading around $0.22 with a 31% gain over the past month. As it approaches a key trendline resistance, speculations are whether momentum can carry DOGE higher or if fading strength will lead to another pullback. Signs Of A Bottom: DOGE Prepares For Potential Uptrend Continuation Giving a key update on the DOGE daily chart, Master Kenobi pointed out early signs that Dogecoin may have established a bottom, potentially setting the stage for a continuation of its upward trend. Recent price action suggests that bullish momentum is building; however, follow-through is now crucial for confirmation. Related Reading: Dogecoin Unlock To Put $22.9M Worth Of Tokens Into Circulation For this bullish continuation to take hold, Kenobi emphasized that DOGE must make a decisive move above the yellow trendline within the next 1–3 days. Such a move would be essential to push the Relative Strength Index (RSI) back above its moving average, a signal that could help reignite bullish sentiment and strengthen the ongoing uptrend. However, if Dogecoin fails to break above the yellow trendline within that short window, the risk of a pullback increases. Kenobi warned that in such a scenario, the price may slide back toward the red trendline, which marks the base of the ascending channel and could be retested by early September. This technical setup places Dogecoin at a crucial juncture, with the coming days likely to determine its short-term trajectory. A successful breakout would validate the bottom and support a continuation of the rally, while a failed breakout may cause DOGE to retrace lower before attempting another leg up. Dogecoin Holds Steady At $0.22 After 31% Monthly Gain In a post on X, cexscan provided an update on Dogecoin’s current market performance, noting that the meme coin is trading around $0.22 and showing a modest upward trend in recent days. This recovery has sparked renewed interest among traders, particularly as short-term momentum appears to be gaining strength. Related Reading: Dogecoin Retests Crucial Support Following 8.6% Drop – Here Are The Levels To Watch Over the past 30 days, Dogecoin has recorded a solid gain of 31.84%, reflecting a notable rebound from previous lows. However, the broader picture remains mixed, as year-to-date performance is still down by 31.04%, highlighting the lingering impact of earlier sell-offs. Cexscan also observed that trading volume has been moderate overall, but a recent spike indicates growing market engagement. This increase in volume could support further price movement if sustained, especially if buyers continue to step in during key moments. Despite these positive signs, Cexscan urged caution, pointing out that some downward pressure still lingers in the market. While indicators suggest the potential for continued gains, Dogecoin will need to maintain momentum and avoid sharp pullbacks to confirm a lasting trend reversal.

Ethereum is once again approaching critical levels after a stretch of volatile yet bullish price action. Following a sharp rebound from yesterday’s low of around $3,675, ETH is now trading above the $3,800 mark, regaining momentum as traders eye a decisive move. While short-term volatility remains, the overall structure favors continuation—provided ETH can break cleanly above the $4,000 resistance level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase Signals Market Sits Between Accumulation And Distribution This threshold now stands as the key barrier between consolidation and a potential rally toward new highs. A confirmed breakout would likely ignite fresh bullish momentum across the broader altcoin market. Until then, price remains trapped in a narrowing range, testing both trader patience and liquidity depth. Meanwhile, on-chain data supports the bullish case. According to blockchain analytics platform Arkham, whales have ramped up their accumulation, with large addresses steadily adding to their ETH holdings in recent days. This ongoing accumulation trend reflects growing conviction among high-cap players and adds weight to the possibility of further upside in the months ahead. Whale Receives Ethereum From Galaxy OTC As Institutions Double Down Ethereum’s bullish narrative gained further momentum this week after Arkham disclosed a massive on-chain transaction involving a major institutional player. A fresh wallet address—0xdf0A67Ded855F8ea4baB6399690883243c0e2EF3—just received $153 million worth of ETH, purchased directly through Galaxy Digital’s over-the-counter (OTC) desk. The scale and nature of this transaction suggest growing institutional conviction in Ethereum’s long-term potential. This isn’t just another whale move. The fact that the ETH was funneled into a new wallet from a regulated OTC provider underscores the strategic accumulation taking place behind the scenes. As traditional finance increasingly integrates with crypto, Ethereum’s utility, programmability, and future role in tokenized finance are making it a high-conviction play among institutional allocators. This heavy buy comes after a prolonged period of weakness. Earlier this year, ETH suffered persistent selling pressure, with price action sliding lower for months. Retail interest faded, and sentiment turned bearish. But while the public panicked, sophisticated players appear to have taken the other side of the trade—accumulating quietly during the downturn. Related Reading: BlackRock Goes Heavy on Ethereum: Buys 4x More ETH Than BTC ETH Consolidates Below Resistance Ethereum (ETH) continues to trade in a tight range just below the key resistance level of $3,860.80, as shown in the 4-hour chart. Despite recent price volatility, ETH has remained above its 50- and 100-period moving averages, currently near $3,756 and $3,629, respectively. This suggests that bullish momentum is still intact in the short term. Volume has picked up slightly, indicating rising interest from traders as ETH tests this critical horizontal resistance. The price has failed to close decisively above this level multiple times since July 25, highlighting its significance. However, the consistent higher lows forming over the past week point to building buying pressure beneath the surface. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Begin Distribution: Mirroring Fall 2024 Cycle A confirmed breakout above $3,860.80 could open the door for a push toward the psychological $4,000 level and beyond. Conversely, failure to break resistance may lead to another retest of the 100-period moving average or even the $3,700 support zone. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
