World Liberty Financial’s Trump-linked WLFI token plunged in price after a high-profile debut, prompting its backers to propose an aggressive buyback-and-burn plan to steady the market. Related Reading: No Fireworks, Just Grind: Bitcoin Could Drift To $1M Over 7 Years: Analyst According to trading data and market reports, the token briefly traded above $0.30 at launch before falling as much as 15%–30% and settling around $0.21–$0.24 in the hours that followed. Early Volatility And What Hit The Market Based on reports, the sharp drop followed a large token unlock that added roughly 25 billion WLFI to circulating supply, a move that instantly inflated the paper value of the Trump family’s holdings. That unlock pushed the family’s stake into the billions on paper—various outlets put the tally near $5 billion to $6+ billion depending on the price used. Trading venues including Binance, OKX and Bybit handled early volume, and roughly $1 billion changed hands in the first hour on some platforms, according to coverage of the debut. Reports say early investors were allowed to sell a portion of their holdings, which likely amplified selling pressure as markets digested the newly tradable tokens. Proposal To Use Fees For Buybacks In response, World Liberty Financial’s community and team floated a buyback-and-burn program that would route 100% of protocol-owned liquidity (POL) fees from chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana toward repurchasing WLFI on open markets and permanently burning those tokens. The aim, according to proponents, is to reduce circulating supply and support longer-term holders. Critics warn that burns funded by fees may take years to materially reduce the massive unlocked supply. Analysts and commentators pointed out a mismatch between headline valuations and the practical reality of supply dynamics. Depending on which price is used, WLFI’s market cap was reported across a wide band—some outlets published peak valuations in the billions, even as price swings kept the effective market cap volatile throughout the day.

Observers say that when political figures hold large token positions, questions about conflicts of interest and regulatory oversight tend to rise faster than normal market noise. World Liberty insists the project is a private venture with governance rules, but regulators and critics have said they will be watching closely. Market participants are now watching vote outcomes and governance updates closely. If the fee-to-burn plan is approved and implemented, it will be measured by how much protocol revenue it can divert into buybacks and how quickly those repurchases can reduce supply.

The decentralized exchange (DEX) market has just reached a historic milestone, with over $1.15 trillion in volume processed during August. DefiLlama data shows this is the first month where combined spot and perpetual contract volumes have exceeded $1 trillion in monthly activity. Spot DEX volumes hit $506B in August, while perpetual contract volumes rose to over $648B, reaching an all-time high for this category. The DEX market remains strong as Web3 becomes more accessible, thanks to apps like Best Wallet. Best Wallet provides an easy way to convert fiat via a mobile app, along with integration with multiple DEXs for a smooth crypto experience. We’ll discuss why the $BEST token is the best way to buy and sell crypto through the Best Wallet app, but first, we’ll take a closer look at the DEX market. Which DEXs are Seeing the Most Volume? Uniswap remains the top spot DEX with over $143B in total volume processed during August, accounting for 28.2% of the month’s total spot volume. PancakeSwap is in second place with nearly three times less volume at $56.6B, while HyperLiquid ranks third with $21.7B. The increase in spot volume raised the DEX-to-CEX trading ratio to 17.2% in August, indicating a growing interest in token swaps done entirely on-chain. The DeFi market cap now stands at $160 billion and continues to grow as more users join the DeFi space. Best Wallet is set to take advantage of a strong DEX market, beginning to compete with institutional CEXs. Let’s learn more about how Best Wallet ($BEST) makes integration with DEXs easier. Best Wallet – A Cross-Chain Wallet Built for the Mobile-First Generation Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is Best Wallet’s official token, a mobile-first crypto wallet that works across multiple blockchains with native DEX support. Best Wallet surpasses older wallets like MetaMask by consolidating your entire crypto portfolio into one app, reducing the need to switch between different blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana. It also gives you access to an exclusive token launchpad to participate in presales for upcoming crypto projects before they are available on CEX and DEXs. Regarding security, Best Wallet employs Fireblocks MPC-CMP to protect your wallet from crypto theft. It’s easy to back up your wallet to the cloud within the app and restore it whenever needed. If you’re interested, you can try it out yourself – Best Wallet is already available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Best Wallet improves with $BEST. It lowers your transaction fees when swapping crypto, lets you vote on new blockchain support from the Best Wallet DAO, and gives you early access to exclusive new presale tokens before they’re more widely available. There are attractive staking rewards available if you buy $BEST now. You can stake and earn returns of up to 86% annually. Act quickly, as over $15.4 million worth of $BEST has already been reserved during the presale, pushing prices up to $0.025575. We also created a helpful guide on how to purchase $BEST. Purchase $BEST today before the presale ends. What’s Next For DEXs The rise in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume indicates a growing demand for token swaps and leveraged crypto trading, particularly in perpetual futures. Any cryptocurrency project that can reduce the barriers to entry for the DEX market is likely to be quickly embraced by users eager to take advantage of a thriving market, especially those who might be unsure of how to begin. That’s why we’re so excited about $BEST. As the official token of Best Wallet, it’s expected to benefit significantly from a larger DEX market by allowing users to reduce their crypto swap fees. All crypto products are volatile. Make sure to always do your own research before investing and only invest what you’re prepared to lose. This article is not financial advice.

Ethereum is facing a pivotal moment as it struggles to hold above the $4,400 level after several days of heavy volatility and persistent selling pressure. The market’s recent downturn has put bulls on the defensive, with the threat of a deeper correction looming if support levels give way. Despite the uncertainty, Ethereum continues to attract significant interest from large investors, reinforcing the narrative of long-term confidence in the asset. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details Capital rotation between Ethereum and Bitcoin remains one of the defining themes of this market cycle. While Bitcoin has shown signs of weakness following its recent highs, Ethereum has benefited as institutions and whales shift capital toward the second-largest cryptocurrency. This trend suggests that Ethereum’s role as a core market driver is becoming even more pronounced. According to the latest data from Santiment, Ethereum whales have added massive amounts of ETH to their portfolios in just the past 24 hours. Such aggressive accumulation highlights growing conviction among large players, even as retail investors show signs of fear. Whales Add $1.1B In Ethereum As Capital Rotates From Bitcoin Analyst Ali Martinez reports that whales purchased 260,000 ETH in the past 24 hours, valued at around $1.1 billion. This staggering figure is not just another sign of demand—it confirms a dynamic shift unfolding across the market, where smart money is rotating out of Bitcoin and into Ethereum. Despite the heavy volatility and recent pullback, Ethereum continues to display remarkable resilience compared to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has been losing key support levels and showing signs of weakening momentum, Ethereum has managed to hold above critical structural demand zones. This divergence between the two leading assets underscores the increasing confidence institutions and whales are placing in Ethereum’s long-term potential. Whale accumulation on such a scale often precedes significant market moves, as large holders tend to position ahead of broader market participants. The inflow of $1.1 billion into ETH highlights that major players see value at current levels, even as the market consolidates. As capital rotation intensifies, Ethereum is reinforcing its position not only as the leading altcoin but as a market driver in its own right. Analysts suggest that this could set the stage for a decisive breakout in the weeks ahead, with ETH potentially outpacing Bitcoin’s performance if current trends continue. The coming days will reveal whether this whale-driven demand is enough to fuel Ethereum’s next major rally. Related Reading: Binance Network Activity Outpaces Ethereum As Active Addresses Double Since April Ethereum Price Analysis: Key Support Under Pressure Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $4,384, showing signs of consolidation after several days of volatility and selling pressure. The chart highlights that ETH is testing critical support levels, with the 200-day moving average (red line) around $4,236 acting as a major demand zone. Holding this level is crucial, as a breakdown could accelerate losses toward the $4,000 psychological mark. The 50-day (blue line) and 100-day (green line) moving averages are hovering slightly above price action, showing ETH struggling to reclaim momentum in the short term. Multiple rejections around the $4,600–$4,700 range over the past weeks reveal strong supply pressure, with sellers actively defending higher levels. Related Reading: Solana Investors Cash Out Nearly $1-B As SOL Tests Key Price Level Despite the current weakness, ETH has managed to hold a higher low structure compared to its July base near $3,500, which suggests the broader uptrend remains intact. However, trading volume has declined, signaling reduced conviction among bulls. For ETH to regain strength, it must reclaim the $4,500 level and flip it into support. Failure to do so leaves ETH vulnerable to further downside. In the short term, the $4,200–$4,250 region remains the line in the sand for bulls to defend.
