SharpLink Gaming has announced a $200 million capital raise aimed at expanding its Ethereum treasury. As ETH solidifies its role as programmable money and a yield-bearing asset through staking, SharpLink is betting big on its long-term potential. The raise positions the company among a rising class of corporates reshaping capital strategy around blockchain-native assets. Why SharpLink Is Going All-In On Ethereum In an X post, SharpLink Gaming shared an update stating that the company has secured $200 million capital raise through a direct offering priced at $19.50 per share, and has been backed by four global institutional investors.

Upon full deployment, SharpLink expects its ETH reserves to exceed $2 billion, placing it among the most ETH-heavy corporate treasuries globally. The company focuses on accumulating ETH, staking ETH to earn sustainable on-chain yield, and consistently growing ETH-per-share for long-term shareholders. Ethereum is becoming the foundational layer of global finance infrastructure for tokenized assets, and SharpLink is built to capture that upside. According to the DuRtY_Crypto post, Vitalik Buterin recently pointed out that ETH treasuries are increasingly valuable, not just as a store of ETH, but as a different vehicle for people to have access to ETH. Instead of simply buying ETH and holding it, investors are turning to companies that hold and manage ETH treasuries. DuRtY_Crypto has outlined the irony that was unseen between the Bankless crew, who quickly celebrated the mainstream validation. The PulseChain Sacrifice Wallet has skyrocketed to become the 5th-largest ETH holder in crypto with 171,054 ETH. Before the funds rotated into ETH, the wallet was already commanding attention as the largest DAI holder across all chains. Thus, the expert has commended Richard Heart, the controversial figure behind PulseChain, for executing a strategic pivot that few saw coming. Ethereum Activity Heats Up As Transaction Volume Nears ATH While prominent figures are raising capital and increasing the ETH treasury’s value, CoinW has also revealed that Ethereum on-chain momentum is surging again. According to data from Etherscan, the network processed 1.87 million transactions on Aug 6th, nearing its all-time high of 1.96 million, which was set back in January 2024.

Following the decline, the average exit wait time now sits at 7 days and 17 hours. With UK regulators officially lifting the ban on crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) for retail investors, as reported by CoinW, Ethereum’s performance may experience notable growth. This move signals a major policy shift toward embracing digital asset markets. Furthermore, it will allow individuals to engage in these risk-bearing financial products at their discretion, a move seen as aligning the UK more closely with the global crypto market.

A fresh chart shared on X by the pseudonymous technician Charting Guy is stoking renewed bullish chatter around Dogecoin, suggesting that the meme-coin best known for its social-media cult could be setting up for a run toward the upper boundary of a multiyear rising wedge near $1.60. Will Dogecoin Skyrocket Above $1? The analyst’s daily chart (BINANCE: DOGEUSDT) frames nearly two years of price action inside a broad, magenta-coloured ascending wedge whose support has risen from roughly $0.06 in late-2023 to $0.17 today, and whose resistance projects to $1.10–1.60 over the coming months. At press time DOGE is changing hands at $0.2219, up 8.7 percent on the day, having just pierced the wedge’s internal trend line that capped every rally until mid-July 2025. A cluster of Fibonacci retracement and extension levels anchored to the chart’s swing low at $0.0491 and swing high at $0.7605 defines the roadmap that traders are watching. The token has already reclaimed the 0.382 retracement at $0.1399 and the psychological $0.20 handle, and is now hovering above the 0.50 zone at $0.1933 – ahead of the more technically significant golden ratio at 0.618 ($0.2671). Above that, fib-derived hurdles stack at 0.702 ($0.3362), 0.786 ($0.4232), and 0.888 ($0.5596), with the full retrace level at $0.7605 and the 1.272 extension demarcated at $1.6017 – precisely where the wedge’s ceiling converges in the analyst’s projection. Related Reading: Dogecoin Is Right Where Past Bull Runs Have Taken Off: Analyst What lends the setup its narrative force is a cyan overlay on the same chart – a fractal copy of DOGE’s eruptive late 2024 leg – that has been transplanted onto the current structure. In that earlier episode the coin rocketed 439 percent once price tagged rising-wedge support, sliced through the internal down-sloping resistance, retested it as support and accelerated straight to the upper boundary. The overlay implies that a similar sequence has begun to unfold: DOGE revisited wedge support in late June, broke the internal trend line in mid-July, and retested it successfully this week– if the fractal continues to rhyme – could embark on a vertiginous sprint that terminates where the 1.272 extension meets the wedge roof just north of $1.60. The monthly view reinforces the bullish undertone. Charting Guy points out that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is on the verge of a bullish cross of its own moving average in the 50–55 band. The last time that crossover occurred, in early 2024, price embarked on the aforementioned 439 percent advance. While momentum has cooled since that high, the oscillator never broke down into oversold territory, suggesting, in classical technical parlance, that DOGE has been basing rather than topping. Sceptics will note that the same wedge has twice rejected advances below $0.50, and that the memecoin still lives below every major high-time-frame supply shelf until $0.76. Yet the chart’s geometry leaves room for a rapid repricing should buyers clear the $0.27–0.34 resistance cluster: the “empty air” between the 0.702 and 0.888 fibs coincides with the steepest part of the wedge. Related Reading: Dogecoin Doomed To Chop? Analyst Sees $0.90–$1.50 Top—But Not Anytime Soon For now, traders have a textbook trigger to watch – the internal magenta down-trend that DOGE has just tested from above. A decisive weekly close above that line, coupled with rising volume, would formally confirm the breakout scenario. Failure to hold $0.20 would invalidate the fractal and shift focus back to wedge support, currently near $0.17. Whether history will repeat with the precision that the fractal projects remains to be seen, but the structural logic on the chart is clear: so long as Dogecoin respects its four-year rising base, the path of least resistance continues to tilt higher – and the upper edge of that structure terminates at $1.60. The coming weeks should reveal whether the meme-asset can turn that technical aspiration into market reality. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.22.

The debate over whether the crypto market is in Bitcoin Season or on the verge of Altcoin Season has dragged on for many months, especially due to Ethereum’s price action in the past few days. LUCIE, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, recently touched on the matter, sharing insights on what’s currently happening, what to expect for an altcoin season, and when to anticipate a breakout in the Altcoin Season Index. Altcoin Season Index Points To Bitcoin Dominance Many traders and analysts have been closely watching the Altcoin Season Index, with posts on the social media platform X and news reports increasing in anticipation of a market-wide move that could favor altcoins against Bitcoin. Although the current market still tilts toward Bitcoin, signs of change are starting to emerge, especially with Ethereum now approaching the $4,000 price level. Related Reading: No Altcoin Season If Bitcoin Dominance Reclaims This Level According to the Altcoin Season Index from BlockchainCenter.net, which was also shared by Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, the index is currently standing at 39, well below the 75 threshold required to confirm altseason. Notably, the data from BlockchainCenter.net shows that the index has been hovering in this range after bouncing from lower levels earlier in the year. As shown in the chart below, despite recent momentum from Ethereum and XRP, Bitcoin is still holding a dominant position in the total market cap. At the time of writing, Bitcoin dominance is currently around 61%, above the 60% level that typically signals room for altcoins to take over. Interestingly, this is a notable reduction from Bitcoin’s 64.3% dominance from three weeks ago. Lucie attributed this decline in Bitcoin dominance to alt momentum slowly gaining traction across various sectors, including major altcoins and meme-based projects. This gradual build-up, she suggested, could represent an accumulation phase. This is a familiar August pattern that’s mostly always seen before stronger altcoin rallies. Eyes On September For Possible Breakout Although the current readings confirm that it is still Bitcoin Season, Lucie believes everything may already be setting the stage for an altcoin breakout next month. The combination of a drop in BTC dominance and a surge in the Altcoin Season Index above 75 would officially mark the shift. For now, eyes are on this breakout. Particularly, Lucie noted a September window for a decisive move that could ignite a true altseason. Related Reading: Hold On For Dear Life: This Bullish Bitcoin Metric Just Touched A 15-Year High At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market dominance is at 60.0%, according to data from Coinmarketcap. Ethereum, on the other hand, has a market dominance of 12.2%. The last time the market saw altcoin dominance was in December 2024, when the Altcoin Season Index spiked to a reading of 88. Since then, Bitcoin has maintained control, with the most recent attempt to push the index higher stalling at a 59 reading on July 21. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Cardano (ADA) is showing renewed strength on lower timeframes, with a short-term surge lifting the price above key moving averages. However, this momentum now faces a critical test as mid-term resistance levels come into play. Will the bulls maintain control, or is a reversal on the horizon? ADA Pushes Above Key EMAs: Bulls Seize Short-Term Momentum Analyst Cexscan on X pointed out that Cardano (ADA) is exhibiting a bullish trend on the 30-minute chart. The asset’s price has surged above the 20, 50, and 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), indicating rising buying interest and momentum among short-term traders. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Targets $0.80 As Price Retests Key Level – Is An 85% Jump Ahead? Adding further strength to the outlook is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which currently sits in overbought territory. While this typically signals a possible pause or minor retracement, Cexscan believes that the strong bullish pressure evident in price action could override such a correction in the short run, as long as volume remains healthy. Overall, the combination of bullish EMAs, elevated RSI, and sustained momentum paints an optimistic picture for ADA. Cexscan emphasized that if the current trajectory holds, Cardano could continue its upward path, with intraday opportunities unfolding along the way. Cardano Caught In A Tight Range: Will The Breakout Come Soon? Thomas Anderson, analyzing Cardano’s 4-hour chart in a recent update, pointed out that the price was moving sideways around the $0.3374 zone. This consolidation is occurring between a defined resistance at $0.7612 and support at $0.6874, both marked with yellow horizontal lines. The market appears to be taking a breather, potentially gearing up for a more decisive move. Related Reading: A Breakout To Remember: Cardano Price Mirrors Market Conditions That Led To $3.10 ATH Adding to the picture is the 200-period Moving Average, highlighted in red, which sits just above the current price and acts as a dynamic resistance level. This moving average has repeatedly blocked bullish attempts, making it a crucial hurdle to watch. A clean break above it could be a major trigger for renewed buying interest. On the broader daily timeframe, Anderson observed that Cardano remains trapped within a larger consolidation pattern. The RSI indicator is hovering around 51, reflecting a neutral stance, while the MACD indicator is also showing little directional bias. This reinforces the view that the market is waiting for a breakout catalyst before choosing its next path. Anderson concluded by focusing on the ascending trendline resistance as a key technical level. A strong push above that line could pave the way for intraday gains, especially for scalpers. However, if ADA gets rejected at that level, it may head back toward the lower end of the range, offering potential shorting opportunities for traders watching closely.
