Ethereum has entered a consolidation phase after losing the $4,500 level, now trading within a tight range above $4,250. The recent pullback has increased uncertainty across the market, with investors weighing whether ETH will break lower or gather enough momentum to attempt another rally. Despite this volatility, Ethereum continues to demonstrate strong underlying fundamentals, supported by consistent whale and institutional accumulation. Related Reading: Bitmine Adds Another $65.3M In Ethereum – Details According to top analyst Darkfost, whale activity on Ethereum remains elevated, with significant outflows recorded from Binance in recent sessions. These withdrawals highlight an important trend: whales are not selling but rather moving their ETH into decentralized finance ecosystems. In fact, several notable transactions were detected this morning, with large holders transferring ETH from Binance to Aave, deploying it for yield opportunities. This ongoing accumulation and redeployment reflect a growing conviction among whales that Ethereum remains one of the most attractive assets in the market. By leveraging ETH in DeFi rather than offloading it, large players are signaling long-term confidence in Ethereum’s value. As the bullish trend quietly unfolds behind the scenes, the market’s consolidation may ultimately serve as a foundation for Ethereum’s next major move. Whale Outflows Underscore Ethereum Strength Ethereum whales have once again demonstrated their conviction with a series of large outflows from Binance. Within just a few minutes, three massive transactions were recorded: the first totaling roughly 23,000 ETH, the second a much larger 64,000 ETH, and the final outflow an extraordinary 83,000 ETH. Altogether, these movements represent nearly $750 million worth of Ethereum withdrawn from the exchange in a single burst of activity. These outflows have had a measurable impact on Binance’s reserves. With this wave of withdrawals, the amount of ETH held on the exchange has fallen to 4.2 million ETH, highlighting a continued decline in centralized exchange balances. Historically, declining reserves have been viewed as a sign of strong demand, as coins are moved off exchanges and into long-term storage or deployed into decentralized finance platforms like Aave for yield. The conviction displayed by whales in this instance sends a powerful signal to the market. Rather than reacting to short-term volatility, these large holders are positioning themselves for the long term, underscoring Ethereum’s resilience even during consolidation phases. This activity also explains why ETH has been outperforming Bitcoin recently—whale demand continues to funnel into Ethereum while Bitcoin faces more muted accumulation trends. The strength of these outflows reflects the growing institutional and whale appetite for Ethereum. With reserves shrinking and demand proving consistent, the market may be setting the stage for Ethereum’s next breakout once broader conditions align.

The chart shows ETH respecting the $4,300 area, with the 200-period SMA (red line) acting as a key structural support. As long as this level holds, Ethereum avoids a deeper correction. Shorter moving averages provide insight into momentum. The 50 SMA (blue line) is converging with the 100 SMA (green line), reflecting sideways market conditions and a lack of clear direction. ETH has repeatedly tested the $4,450–$4,500 resistance zone over the past two weeks but has failed to close decisively above it, highlighting seller pressure.

On the downside, losing $4,300 could expose ETH to a retest of $4,200, with further weakness potentially dragging the price closer to $4,000. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Crypto analyst Costa has made an ultra-bullish prediction for the XRP price, stating that it could reach $473,214. He explained that such a massive price surge could happen thanks to tokenization on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). XRP Price To Reach $473,214 If This Happens In an X post, Costa predicted that the XRP price would reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets got tokenized onto the XRPL. This followed Ripple’s statement that 10% of global assets are expected to be tokenized by 2030. The analyst expects these assets, which amount to $50 trillion, to be tokenized on the XRP Ledger. Related Reading: Crypto Exchange Reveals When XRP Price Will Cross $2,000 Costa declared that the amount of inflows and utility will most definitely cause the XRP price to skyrocket. He also noted that a potential supply shock will push the altcoin higher. Meanwhile, the analyst alluded to a market cap multiplier to explain how the price increase will happen. He stated that for every 10 billion of inflows, XRP will increase by 516x, moving the altcoin’s market cap to $5.3 trillion. Costa then broke down the calculation for how the XRP price would reach $473,214. He divided $50 trillion, which represents 10% of the global assets, by $10 billion, which is the amount he projects as the inflows. The division amounted to $5,000, which he then multiplied by the projected $5.3 trillion market cap, leading to $26.5 quadrillion. The analyst noted that dividing the current supply by this will result in an XRP price of $473,000. However, Costa admitted that these projections are simply hypothetical and that there is no 100% guarantee of 10% of the global assets being tokenized on the XRP Ledger. XRP Still Expected To Rise Higher The XRP price is currently on a downtrend, but is still expected to witness a bullish reversal and reach new highs. Crypto analyst Matthew Dixon noted that the price is expected to surge soon above the highs previously recorded this year. He noted XRP’s pattern is currently corrective and should resolve higher, especially with the softening of monetary policy. The Fed is expected to make a 25-basis-point (bps) rate cut at the next FOMC meeting, which is bullish for the XRP price. This could inject more liquidity into the altcoin’s ecosystem and serve as the catalyst for the next leg up. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $6 soon enough. However, he warned that the altcoin needs to hold above its current range as it prepares for this major breakout. Related Reading: Is XRP A Meme Coin?

The first US exchange-traded fund offering exposure to Dogecoin (DOGE) could debut as soon as next week, after the ETF Opportunities Trust filed a post-effective amendment that sets September 9, 2025 as the effective date for a suite of single-coin funds that includes the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (ticker: DOJE). The filing—Post-Effective Amendment No. 367—explicitly names the DOGE fund alongside proposed TRUMP, BTC, XRP and BONK funds, and states that the amendment “designates September 9, 2025 as the new effective date” for those products. Dogecoin ETF Set To Launch Market expectations were turbocharged by a teaser from the issuer itself. On Wednesday, REX Shares wrote: “The REX-Osprey™ DOGE ETF, $DOJE, is coming soon! DOJE will be the first ETF to deliver investors exposure to the performance of the iconic memecoin, Dogecoin.” Soon after, Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas added fuel, noting: “Looks like Rex is going to launch a Doge ETF via the 40 Act a la $SSK next week based on the tweet below combined w how they just filed an effective prospectus. Doge looks like the first one to go out.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Signal That Nailed The Top Says It’s Time To Buy What makes DOJE viable on a near-term timeline is structure. Instead of the “commodity ETP” pathway (which typically requires a bespoke 19b-4 exchange rule change), DOJE sits inside a ’40-Act open-end ETF registration under the ETF Opportunities Trust—the same chassis REX-Osprey used to list its Solana fund (SSK) earlier this summer. The January 21, 2025 prospectus for the trust includes a full DOGE fund section, stating the investment objective is to track the performance of Dogecoin and disclosing that the fund may use derivatives (including swaps) and a wholly owned Cayman subsidiary—the REX-Osprey DOGE (Cayman) Portfolio S.P.—to hold positions, subject to a 25% cap for the subsidiary to preserve RIC tax treatment. REX-Osprey’s SSK is the immediate precedent. That fund listed in early July under a ’40-Act framework and quickly gathered assets and trading activity. MarketWatch reported the Cboe listing, ~$20 million first-day trading volume, and the fund’s positioning as the first US ETF with direct Solana exposure plus staking rewards. Notably, SSK crossed $100 million AUM within weeks. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Could Start On September 13, Analyst Predicts The September 9 effectiveness designation is the key gating item before a listing venue can post a trading date; it supports the “next week” launch expectation flagged by Balchunas. Notably, the same filing block references additional single-coin funds—TRUMP, XRP, BONK, BTC—indicating a broader shelf beyond DOGE. How The Dogecoin ETF Could Affect Price ETFs can influence spot markets through primary-market creations and redemptions when net inflows require the sponsor (or authorized participants) to source the underlying exposure. While attribution is never clean in crypto, Solana’s spot price rose roughly 34% from around $152 on July 3, 2025 (the day after SSK’s launch window) to roughly $204 today, with SSK racing to $100 million+ AUM in its early weeks. That precedent is directionally relevant for DOGE if DOJE lists and attracts sustained creations. In such a scenario, the fund complex and its authorized participants would need to acquire DOGE coins or DOGE-linked exposures—through spot purchases, swaps, or other instruments—to meet primary-market demand, potentially tightening available float at the margin. Liquidity in SOL is significantly deeper, with more than three times the market capitalization and trading volume of DOGE, while DOGE remains more retail-driven, so the magnitude of any ETF-related impulse could in fact be more pronounced. Still, the mechanism is similar: net inflows beget net buys of the reference asset, and the secondary market visibility can broaden the investor base beyond native crypto venues. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.216. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The corporate Bitcoin sector has just smashed a major milestone. Public companies now own over 1M $BTC, showing massive confidence in the growing crypto market. Read on for three of the best cryptos to buy as institutional adoption skyrockets. Strategy and MARA Lead the Pack BitcoinTreasuries’s data shows that over $111B in $BTC assets are now in the hands of publicly traded companies. Leading the pack is Michael Saylor’s Strategy, with 636K $BTC. In second place, MARA Holdings has built a balance sheet of 52K $BTC. While MARA has successfully pivoted from a mining company into the treasury world, many mining firms chose to liquidate their $BTC holdings during the 2022 bear market. Overall, there’s been a serious shift from mining to accumulation. However, the biggest holders for $BTC continue to be exchanges and ETFs, which hold a combined 1.62M BTC. Whether through shares in publicly traded companies or via ETFs, there’s never been more options for retail and institutional investors to increase their exposure to $BTC without holding it. That means more inflows, which is great for the crypto market as a whole. That’s why we’ve identified three projects we think are ideally placed to capitalize on the increasing relevance of crypto as an investment asset. Read on to find out why Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Snorter Bot ($SNORT), and Ethereum ($ETH) are our top picks for the best crypto to buy. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – A Solana-Based Layer-2 for Bitcoin that Adds Smart Contract Capabilities Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the upgrade that the Bitcoin network desperately needs. Institutions love $BTC because it’s a fantastic store of value, but it’s not the ideal crypto for your day-to-day needs. Its throughput is painfully slow, and the high transfer fees take a chunk out of your portfolio every time you spend it. That’s why the Bitcoin Hyper devs are building a Layer-2 solution for the Bitcoin network that uses a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) with ZK rollups to hypercharge payment speeds and lower transaction fees. Once live, the Bitcoin Hyper network will let you use dApps fueled by $BTC to carry out NFT trades and crypto swaps without needing to leave the Bitcoin ecosystem. It’s easy to use, too. Simply send your $BTC through Bitcoin Hyper’s Canonical Bridge, which will mint an equivalent amount of wrapped $BTC deposited into your account on the Layer-2. Want to withdraw? Just send your $wBTC back and receive your $BTC on the Layer-1. The official Bitcoin Hyper token, $HYPER, keeps everything ticking over. You’ll get lower fees when you use $HYPER to trade crypto, as well as when you execute a smart contract on the Layer-2. Holding $HYPER also gives you voting rights in the Bitcoin Hyper DAO, giving you the chance to have your say on proposals for the future of Bitcoin Hyper. It’s a strong litmus test of the community sentiment behind the Bitcoin Hyper project, too – to date, over $14M of $HYPER has been sold in the token presale. If you act quickly, you can still pick it up for $0.012865 ahead of future price rises. If you need a guide on how to buy Bitcoin Hyper, we’ve got you covered. Get your $HYPER tokens today and earn up to 78% in staking rewards. 2. Snorter ($SNORT) – Sniff Out the Latest Meme Coins with this Telegram-Powered Trading Bot. Snorter Token ($SNORT) is the presale token that powers Snorter Bot, a Solana meme coin sniping bot with an easy-to-use Telegram-based interface that trades crypto automatically on your behalf. When you fire up Snorter, it presents you with a list of the best-performing Solana meme coins, which have all been scanned with a honeypot detection engine for rugpull indicators. So far, the Snorter project has been able to get an 85% success rate at detecting rugpulls in beta testing. Once you have the alpha, you can choose which coins to buy and sell using automated orders. Snorter executes these for you based on the price points you pick, so you won’t have to check your phone constantly. On release, Snorter will work with the Solana blockchain. But, according to the whitepaper, support for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon, and Base will be coming after launch. $SNORT is the native token of Snorter Bot. Using $SNORT uncaps the daily limit on trading, while also lowering the fees you pay on your trades down to 0.85%, well below the industry average of 1%. You’ll want to take advantage of both of these features if you intend to use Snorter’s mirrored wallet feature (exclusive to $SNORT holders), which lets you nominate a wallet for Snorter to copy. Snorter will also carry out every transaction using a sub-second RPC that makes all the difference for those trades where time matters. The Snorter bot isn’t live yet, but you can get your hands on $SNORT cheaply while it’s still in presale. It’s currently raised over $3.7M, pushing the price up to $0.1035 ahead of a pre-Q4 2025 release. While you’re at it, you can check out our $SNORT price predictions, too. Join the Snorter Token presale today and take home staking rewards of up to 124% per annum. 3. Ethereum ($ETH) – Smart Contract Support with the World’s Second-Largest Cryptocurrency Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain that allows for the execution of verified on-chain code. $ETH has consistently held second place against $BTC and has also received heavy institutional investment from firms such as BitMine and SharpLink Gaming. It’s estimated that publicly traded companies hold over 3.2M $ETH, making the total value of the treasury holdings around $14B and putting treasury dominance of $ETH at roughly 2.6%. $ETH isn’t just appealing as an alternate crypto when $BTC value drops – it’s the token that powers an entire ecosystem of dApps, offering everything from decentralized finance to on-chain real-estate. $ETH has just climbed back to over $4.4K and seems set to grow as $BTC faces continued price uncertainty after its recent ATH. It’s currently up 84% over the year after an early Q2 crash. You can purchase $ETH through any major CEX or DEX. What does Corporate Adoption mean for Crypto? Despite uncertainty in the $BTC market at the moment, large Bitcoin holders like Strategy know the plan is to knuckle down through the low moments, DCA when $BTC falls, and reap the rewards when it rises again. In the meantime, continued expansion of Bitcoin treasuries will open the way for retail and institutional investors to invest in $BTC, bringing more capital into the crypto space as a whole. That bodes well for presales like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and Snorter Token ($SNORT), which are live just as more capital flows into $BTC and the meme coin space, respectively. All crypto products are volatile. Be sure to always do your own research before investing – and only invest what you’re prepared to lose. This article is not financial advice.

American Bitcoin, a mining company tied to US President Donald Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., wrapped up its first day of trading on the Nasdaq with sharp swings but still managed to finish 16.75% higher at just over $8. After-hours trading pushed the stock up another 6% to $8.50, reports confirmed. Related Reading: XRP Poised For Amazon-Like Boom? Analyst Predicts $200 Rally Wild Price Swings On First Day Trading opened with a rush. The newly rebranded company, formed through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining (GRYP), jumped as high as $13.21 from Gryphon’s previous close of $6.90, a 90% surge. That early momentum collapsed quickly, sending the stock down to $6.70 in the afternoon before it recovered part of the loss. Nasdaq halted trading five times due to extreme volatility. Despite the erratic moves, Bloomberg estimated Eric Trump’s 7.5% stake at roughly $548 million by the end of the session. His fortune is now tied directly to how American Bitcoin performs in the market. Dual Strategy Of Mining And Buying According to Eric Trump, the company will not only mine Bitcoin but also buy it when conditions make more sense. He described the approach as switching “to whichever is better at the time.” The company’s existing treasury already holds 2,443 BTC, making it the 25th-largest stash among public companies. With Bitcoin trading above $112,000, that holding is worth about $275 million. Eric Trump emphasized that the business will aim to maximize shareholder value by balancing mining output and market purchases: “We’re going to harness daily mining to the fullest, but we can also go out and purchase Bitcoin to support the treasury,” the presidential son said. Political Undertones And A Second Venture The launch has stirred questions about whether American Bitcoin benefits from President Trump’s crypto-friendly stance. Eric Trump dismissed criticism that his family is profiting directly from political ties, saying his father has “nothing to do with this business.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Gets Its 1st Foundation-Backed Treasury Worth $175 Million The American Bitcoin debut came just days after another Trump-linked venture. Tokens for World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a separate crypto project involving President Trump and his sons, were listed on exchanges earlier in the week. WLFI’s performance has so far been weak, dropping 30% from its debut price and losing another 7% in the last 24 hours to about 21 cents, based on CoinMarketCap data. A company tied to the Trumps owns nearly a quarter of all WLFI tokens, estimated at $4.6 billion in value. While WLFI struggles to gain traction, American Bitcoin’s opening has given the Trump family another high-profile position in the crypto sector. Whether the stock can maintain its momentum after a chaotic debut remains uncertain, but Eric Trump called the launch “an unbelievable day” and insisted “the floodgates are just starting to open.” Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
