On Monday, ALT5 Sigma, a fintech company specializing in blockchain infrastructure, unveiled plans to establish a crypto treasury focusing on the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project—a venture backed by the Trump family.  The announcement, however, was met with a swift and negative reaction from investors, resulting in a significant drop in the company’s stock price. First Crypto Treasury Focusing On World Liberty Financial ALT5 Sigma, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker name “ATLS”, aims to raise $1.5 billion to become the first publicly traded company to hold WLFI, the governance token associated with World Liberty Financial.  In a press release dated August 11, the company disclosed that it plans to raise these funds through a registered direct offering and a private placement, which will involve selling up to 100 million shares at a price of $7.50 each.  Related Reading: Analyst Says What Happened With Bitcoin Is About To Happen With XRP Notably, the private placement will be conducted using WLFI tokens, which are currently non-transferable and will be treated as an over-the-counter (OTC) transaction. In its regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ALT5 Sigma stated that acquiring WLFI directly from World Liberty Financial is currently the only option, as the tokens remain locked and cannot be traded.  The filing also warned that if the company fails to acquire the tokens on favorable terms or at all, it may impair its ability to execute its digital asset treasury strategy, potentially requiring a reallocation of assets within the treasury. ALT5 Sigma Shares Plunge 26% Prior to the announcement with World Liberty Financial, ALT5 Sigma’s shares had been performing well, nearing $20 in pre-market trading and more than doubling in value. However, the news of the treasury plans reversed this momentum dramatically.  By the close of trading on Monday, shares had plummeted by 26.42%, settling at $6.60. As of the latest reports, ALT5’s stock continues to hover around $6, reflecting a decline of about 10% over the past week. With the treasury acquisition, Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, is set to become ALT5’s chairman. Eric Trump, another WLFI co-founder, will join the board as a director.  Additionally, Zak Folkman, also a co-founder, will serve as a board observer, while Matt Morgan, CEO of Blockstreet, will take on the role of chief investment officer. Related Reading: Ethereum Retail Mood Still Bearish: Perfect Setup For ATH Break? It’s important to note that the WLFI token, designed as a non-tradeable governance token, was launched in October 2024, with a subsequent announcement of a USD1 stablecoin in March.  In mid-July, World Liberty Financial holders voted to allow the token to become tradable, facilitating peer-to-peer transactions and secondary market activity. However, for now, the movement of tokens remains limited, with trade eligibility constrained to a select group of early supporters. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum has posted significant gains over the past week, rising 29% and approaching its all-time high near $4,800 set in 2021. At the time of writing, ETH trades at $4,662, putting it within range of the $4,750–$4,800 resistance zone that has historically marked a key supply area for the market. This price move coincides with unprecedented network activity and notable on-chain flows that analysts say could influence the short-term price direction. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashes Once-In-A Decade Bull Signal, Says Analyst Ethereum Record Network Activity Meets Price Resistance Data from CryptoQuant contributor CryptoOnchain shows that daily Ethereum transactions have reached a record high of approximately 1.875 million. This surge in activity signals elevated demand for block space and heightened engagement across the network. The confluence of strong on-chain metrics with a critical price level creates a technical and fundamental intersection that could determine Ethereum’s next move. According to CryptoOnchain, Ethereum’s current position represents a decision point. A breakout above $4,750, accompanied by sustained transaction volume, could propel ETH into a price discovery phase, potentially surpassing its historical peak. Conversely, if sellers defend this level, a consolidation phase or a retracement toward the $3,950 support area is possible. The analyst also cautioned that while peak network activity often accompanies bullish price action, it can also signal a near-term overheating of the market. In such cases, even with strong fundamentals, prices may pause or retrace as participants adjust their positions. This dynamic is particularly relevant as Ethereum tests a historically significant resistance zone while network usage is at an all-time high. Exchange Outflows Suggest Continued Buying Pressure In a separate analysis, another CryptoQuant analyst, Burak Kesmeci, examined Ethereum’s net flow data across all exchanges. Using the 30-day simple moving average (SMA30), Kesmeci found that ETH net flows remain in strongly negative territory, at around –40,000 ETH as of August 12, 2025. This represents an average daily outflow of 40,000 ETH over the past month, a trend that has coincided with the asset’s recent price increase. Negative net flows indicate that more ETH is leaving exchanges than entering, often interpreted as a sign of reduced immediate selling pressure and increased holding behavior. Kesmeci linked the recent outflow strength to spot ETH ETF activity, suggesting that institutional demand has been a major factor supporting prices. He noted that as long as the SMA30 stays in negative territory, the upward trend is likely to continue. A shift into positive territory, however, could signal a change in market sentiment and potentially weaken buying momentum. Related Reading: Market Expert Says Sell All Ethereum By October, Here’s Why With both record transaction counts and sustained exchange outflows, Ethereum is facing a market environment shaped by strong usage fundamentals and significant institutional interest. Whether these factors will be enough to propel ETH through its long-standing price ceiling will likely be determined in the coming sessions, as traders watch for either a confirmed breakout or signs of rejection at the $4,750 level.

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has made a significant comeback with a 29% surge over the past week, approaching all-time high (ATH) levels. Ethereum’s price performance has prompted Standard Chartered, one of the UK’s largest financial institutions, to significantly revise its price projections for the cryptocurrency. Ethereum Consolidates 4% Below All-Time Highs Currently, the Ethereum price is consolidating above the $4,600 level, which could serve as a crucial support point as if ETH breaks through its previous all-time high of $4,878 reached in 2021, it may enter a new phase of price discovery.  Presently, a mere 4% gap separates Ethereum’s current price from that record, but analysts at Standard Chartered, led by Geoff Kendrick, are optimistic for a new bullish phase for the cryptocurrency.  They forecast a bullish trend that could nearly double the Ethereum price by the end of the year, raising their year-end target from $4,000 to $7,500. Furthermore, they have set an ambitious 2028 target of $25,000 for ETH. Related Reading: The Grand Bitcoin Roadmap: Crypto Expert Says $160,000 Still In The Works Several key factors underlie this optimistic outlook. Firstly, the recent approval of Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has led to significant market activity.  Ethereum ETFs recently recorded $1 billion in inflows, marking the largest daily influx to date. Year-to-date, these exchange-traded funds tracking ETH’s price have attracted $8.2 billion, representing around 1.5% of Ethereum’s market capitalization. Additionally, legislative progress in the United States, particularly with the passage of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, has bolstered Ethereum’s prospects.  These developments are expected to enhance liquidity in the Ethereum ecosystem, as a substantial portion of stablecoins—often considered a stealth bullish driver for ETH—are issued on the Ethereum blockchain.  Currently, major stablecoins like USDC, issued by Circle (CRCL), and USDT, developed by Tether, primarily operate within Ethereum’s ecosystem, further supporting the altcoin’s price performance. Greater Impact From Institutional Investments Beyond these bullish developments, there is a growing trend among public companies adopting Ethereum treasury strategies similar to those employed by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) with Bitcoin (BTC).  As reported by NewsBTC on Tuesday, approximately 865,000 ETH is now held by these companies, reflecting a broadening interest from institutional investors looking to capitalize on Ethereum’s long-term potential. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash Below $3, But There’s Good News Adding to the bullish sentiment, analyst VirtualBacon has shared forecasts suggesting that if Bitcoin approaches $150,000 and the ETH/BTC ratio rises to 0.044, Ethereum could reach prices between $6,000 and $7,000 this year.  The analyst noted in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), that Ethereum’s smaller market capitalization means that each dollar from institutional investors has a more pronounced effect on its price compared to Bitcoin. VirtualBacon identifies $3,350 as a potential floor for ETH, unless Bitcoin experiences a significant downturn. He emphasizes that the pivotal moment for Ethereum will be clearing the $4,850 resistance level, which could quickly propel ETH above $6,000. As of this writing, ETH trades at $4,636, registering a 4.3% surge in the 24-hour time frame.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin has extended its upward momentum over the past week, gaining nearly 6% in that time and 1.8% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $120,499, maintaining its position near a key resistance zone between $119,000 and $120,000. Market data indicates that traders are watching this price area closely, given its significance in previous price action during July. Recent analysis from CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain shows that Bitcoin’s open interest (OI) on Binance has climbed to around $13.7 billion, approaching its mid-to-late July highs. This metric, which tracks the total value of outstanding futures contracts, is often used to gauge market participation and potential volatility. The current levels suggest a notable build-up of speculative positions as the price approaches critical resistance. Related Reading: Bitcoin At Risk Of Pullback As Binance Miner Distributions Spike, Analyst Says Bitcoin Leveraged Positions and Potential Market Outcomes According to Arab Chain, a simultaneous rise in both price and open interest typically signals the entry of new speculative liquidity, most likely from traders taking long positions. While this can support short-term price increases, it also raises the market’s sensitivity to corrections. If open interest grows faster than price, the rally can become overleveraged, leaving the market vulnerable to a long squeeze in the event of a sharp pullback. The $119,000–$120,000 range has acted as a decision point in recent months. A breakout above this level with stable or slightly declining open interest could indicate the move is driven by spot buying or short covering, which generally carries less liquidation risk. In this scenario, Arab Chain sees potential for BTC to target the $122,000–$124,000 range. However, a sharp rejection at these levels with elevated open interest could trigger liquidation-driven declines toward nearby support. Monitoring Open Interest Trends for Confirmation Open interest is currently just below the all-time high of approximately $14 billion, leaving limited room for further leveraged build-up before reaching historic extremes. Arab Chain notes that after a decline in both price and OI from late July to early August, indicating capital exiting the market, both have since rebounded together, suggesting renewed confidence among derivatives traders. The analyst cautions that a significant jump in open interest without a corresponding price advance, or worse, with a price decline, would point to an overleveraged environment. Related Reading: Two Forces Can Launch Bitcoin To $1 Million, Says Mike Novogratz Conversely, price stability or gains above $120,000 while open interest holds steady or declines slightly would be a healthier sign, indicating the move is supported by actual buying rather than excessive leverage. At present, the intraday trend remains bullish, but the sustainability of this move depends on whether leverage levels stabilize as Bitcoin tests resistance. Traders are likely to focus on how BTC behaves around the $120,000 mark in the coming days, with open interest dynamics serving as a key signal for the next directional move.
