Ethereum L2 Kinto Shuts Down after July Exploit as Fundraising Options Disappeared
The Ethereum Layer 2 network Kinto, which was designed with a focus on regulatory compliance, is ceasing operations. This decision comes two months after an exploit resulted in the loss of millions of dollars from the protocol, causing a 90% drop in the value of its tokens. Following the exploit, the Kinto team managed to raise over $1 million through an initiative called Phoenix. However, the initial loss of 577 ETH, valued at approximately $2.5 million, combined with new debt and unfavorable market conditions, ultimately prevented further fundraising efforts, leading to the shutdown.
Binance Bahrain Debuts Direct USD Banking Rails Retail Access in Seconds
Binance Bahrain has partnered with Singapore Gulf Bank (SGB) to launch a service allowing retail customers to directly transfer U.S. dollars between their SGB bank accounts and their Binance Bahrain accounts. This will enable near-instant deposits and withdrawals of USD, facilitating easier conversion between fiat and crypto.

AAVE Whale Scoops $15M Worth of Tokens Can Demand Spark a Breakout to $336?
A large investor, a whale, purchased $15 million worth of AAVE tokens, signaling increased interest in the cryptocurrency. AAVE's futures market saw a surge in trading volume, but short positions are still slightly more prevalent than long positions. Technical indicators suggest AAVE could potentially rise to $336, but the $296 support level is crucial to hold. Recent data shows investors are taking AAVE off exchanges, which is typically a positive sign. Whales have been dominant in AAVE futures trading for the past week. AAVE previously faced resistance around $331, but the recent whale purchase could change the trend.

Convano currently holds about 520 BTC and aims to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings with this investment. MetaPlanet's stock has experienced a decline of approximately 60% in the last three months. Other Japanese companies like Nexon and Remixpoint also hold Bitcoin, contributing to Japan's growing presence in corporate Bitcoin treasuries, even as global Bitcoin buying by companies has slowed.
BNB Price Rise to $884 Short-Lived as Market Sell-Off Cuts Gains
BNB's price experienced significant volatility, initially dropping to $872 before recovering to $884, only to then decline to $873.6 due to a market sell-off. Trading volume surged during the rebound, particularly around the $876 support level. The downturn coincided with reports of an attack in Qatar, impacting the broader crypto market. While BNB and the crypto market fell, gold prices increased, nearing a record high, and gold-backed cryptocurrencies also saw temporary gains. Binance, where BNB is used for trading fee discounts, recorded $2.63 trillion in futures trading volume last month, setting a new monthly record.
SharpLink bets big on Ethereum, funding $1.5B stock buyback plan
SharpLink Gaming has initiated a $1.5 billion share buyback program, aiming to repurchase approximately 1 million shares of its stock (SBET). This decision stems from the company's belief that its stock is currently undervalued. SharpLink holds approximately $3.6 billion in Ethereum (ETH) and is staking all of it to generate revenue. The company's stock price is around $15.90, having increased slightly in the last 24 hours, but has declined 29% over the past month. SharpLink intends to continue repurchasing shares based on market conditions using cash on hand, staking revenue, or alternative financing. They purchased 39,008 ETH last month at an average price of $4,531 per ETH. Staking rewards as of August 31, 2025, totaled 2,318 ETH.

Bitcoin CDD Indicator Signals LTH Distribution As Demand Offsets Pressure
Bitcoin is currently trading around $112,870, consolidating after a pullback from a high of $124,500. It's caught between resistance at $113,000 and support at $110,000, showing investor indecision. An indicator called Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) suggests that long-term holders (LTHs) are selling some of their Bitcoin, but the intensity of this selling has decreased from its peak. Despite this selling pressure from LTHs, Bitcoin's price has only dropped 10-13% from its recent highs, indicating strong demand is absorbing the selling. If Bitcoin breaks above the 50-day moving average, it could retest the $120,000-$123,000 range. A drop below $110,000-$108,000 could lead to a further decline.
Electric Car Maker Taps RLUSD For Payments As XRP Strategy Unfolds
VivoPower's electric vehicle division, Tembo, will now accept Ripple USD (RLUSD) for payments, aiming to speed up transactions and lower fees for international deals, particularly in developing regions where bank transfers are slow and expensive. Tembo, which provides electric utility vehicles and related services to industries like mining and agriculture, sees RLUSD as a faster and cheaper alternative to traditional payment methods. Ripple's RLUSD market capitalization has reportedly increased significantly since the start of the year, with Ripple expanding its reach through partnerships and integration into decentralized finance platforms. VivoPower is also adopting a broader XRP strategy, including holding XRP and equity in Ripple Labs for treasury purposes and to support blockchain applications related to Tembo's business. This move could improve liquidity management and settlements for vendors and partners in regions where Tembo operates, potentially reducing conversion fees and bridging traditional finance with decentralized finance.

Coinbase is expanding its focus on AI by developing an ecosystem that uses cryptocurrency micropayments. This system builds upon their existing x402 open-source payment protocol, which enables instant stablecoin payments. The new addition, called x402 Bazaar, acts as a discovery layer, similar to a search engine, for AI agents. This allows AI agents to purchase access to data, content, or services, enabling them to make better decisions. Examples include AI agents paying for real-time market data, AI-generated designs, or subscriptions to live data feeds for sports or finance. Some initial projects include a stock price API and image/video generation tools, with the aim of enabling more autonomous workflows.

Revised US Jobs Report Creates Economic Worries But Optimism For Crypto
A revised US jobs report revealed that the economy added significantly fewer jobs than initially reported over the past year, raising concerns about a potential recession. This news has led to increased expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, with predictions now suggesting up to three cuts this year. While lower interest rates could potentially boost the crypto market in the short term by encouraging investment in riskier assets, the underlying economic worries may deter larger institutional investors from putting money into crypto ETFs. The immediate impact is likely to be positive for crypto, but the long-term effects are uncertain due to the conflicting factors of rate cuts and economic instability.
World Chain inflows hit $1.1B as WLD momentum explodes
The cryptocurrency World (WLD), formerly Worldcoin, has seen a surge in activity, with its price increasing after Eightco Holdings announced plans to invest $250 million into the token. This rally was further boosted by a new listing on the Upbit exchange, attracting interest from the South Korean market, where 29% of WLD activity is already based. WLD trading volumes have reached a daily peak of $4.65 billion, driven primarily by Binance and Bithumb. As a result, the amount of assets bridged to the World Chain has surpassed $1.1 billion for the first time, consisting mainly of wrapped ETH and BTC, with around $95 million locked in DeFi applications. Daily active users on the World Chain have also increased significantly, reaching over 75,000.
BYD wants 100 carmakers out of Chinas EV market
BYD, a major player in China's electric vehicle market, anticipates a significant reduction in the number of car manufacturers in China, potentially eliminating nearly 100 companies. This expectation follows the Chinese government's crackdown on discount pricing, which had fueled intense competition. BYD believes that with the end of price wars, consumers will prioritize technology and quality. However, even BYD has experienced challenges, with lower-than-expected revenue and net profit in the second quarter, leading to reduced sales forecasts from analysts at Citi. Despite domestic pressures, BYD and other Chinese automakers like Changan and Leapmotor are expanding into overseas markets, including Europe, with BYD planning to start production in Hungary. Leapmotor has partnered with Stellantis to explore manufacturing options within Europe, although they are currently maintaining Chinese production due to cost considerations.

The company holds approximately 837,000 ETH, valued at $3.6 billion, nearly all of which is staked. This staking activity generates an estimated annual yield of $67 million to $151 million, depending on validator yields. Management believes the company's shares are undervalued and is prioritizing share repurchases over issuing new equity. Future buybacks will be funded through cash, staking rewards, and potential financing, with the company emphasizing it has not used its ATM facility while shares trade below net asset value (NAV).

Bitcoin Price Prediction: $2.48B ETF Inflows Signal Bullish Reversal Are Whales Quietly Loading Up Again?
Bitcoin is currently trading around $111,654, showing a shift in market dynamics driven by significant institutional investment. Last week saw $2.48 billion flow into crypto investment products, primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, reversing previous outflows and bringing the year-to-date total to $35.5 billion. The United States is the main driver of this inflow, followed by Europe and Canada. While Ethereum attracted the most investment overall, Bitcoin remains a safe haven during times of market uncertainty. Technically, Bitcoin faces resistance at $113,400 and support around $110,000, suggesting a potential breakout or breakdown depending on market movement. Bitcoin Hyper, a project aiming to combine Bitcoin security with Solana speed, has launched a presale that has already raised $14.7 million.
ICP Drops 3% as Rally Stalls at $5.05 Resistance
Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) experienced price fluctuations over the past 24 hours. It initially found support around $4.83, leading to a rally that peaked at $5.05. However, strong selling pressure at $5.05 caused the price to drop, settling just below $4.90, a 3% decrease from its high. There was a significant surge in trading volume during a brief period, suggesting potential liquidations. Despite the price drop, the ICP network recently achieved its Ignition milestone, enabling large language models (LLMs) to run on-chain, which could lead to the development of AI-powered decentralized applications on the ICP blockchain. ICP is currently trading within a range, with resistance at $5.05 and new support established around $4.93.
More Than $40M Liquidated as Market Makers Suffer Shattering MYX Short Squeeze
The cryptocurrency MYX Finance saw over $40 million in liquidations in a 24-hour period due to a short squeeze. The price of its native token, MYX, surged from around $0.10 to $16 in approximately 60 days, with a significant jump from $4 to $8 triggering the liquidations. Some market makers or liquidity providers experienced heavy losses as a result. Although MYX Finance has a relatively small total value locked (TVL) of $55 million and $5 million in open interest, its fully diluted value of $17.7 billion is comparable to HyperLiquid, despite the massive disparity in TVL and open interest figures. A large portion, over 80%, of the MYX token supply is locked, leaving only 197 million tokens circulating. This constricted supply may make the asset susceptible to price manipulation. The token's rapid price increase has resulted in it becoming the 36th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Sam Altman admits the internet already feels run by AI
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated on X (formerly Twitter) that online discussions are increasingly resembling AI-generated content, making it difficult to distinguish between real human interactions and artificial ones. This observation arose from his experience reading about the growth of OpenAI's Codex model, where he initially assumed the comments were from fake accounts or bots. Altman attributed this phenomenon to factors such as real people adopting language patterns similar to AI, social media algorithms favoring engagement, and the use of astroturfing tactics by companies. He also mentioned that the internet now feels overrun by AI-run accounts, particularly on platforms like X, echoing the Dead Internet Theory, which suggests that much of online content is generated by bots and AI rather than real people.
Bearish September? Not for Solana, SOL Price Could Reach $300 by Month End
Solana's SOL token is experiencing a price surge in early September, a month historically known for poor crypto performance. As of September 9, SOL is trading around $220, up over 7% for the week. Some analysts are predicting it could reach $300 by the end of the month. This rally is attributed to institutional interest, including tokenization of real-world assets by major financial institutions like HSBC and Bank of America on the Solana blockchain, along with significant credit lines and investment into Solana ETFs. Technical upgrades improving network performance are also contributing to the rise. Other altcoins, like Dogecoin, HYPE, and ENA, are also showing gains. The rise of Solana fuels optimism that Alt Season, a period when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum, may be approaching.
2 Bullish Signals Suggest XRP Price Is Ready for Its Next Leg Up
XRP has increased in value by nearly 10% over the past week, currently trading around $3. This rise coincides with a general increase in activity in the cryptocurrency market. One indicator, the Estimated Leverage Ratio on Binance, shows traders are using more borrowed money to trade XRP, suggesting increased confidence. Another signal is that XRP's price has moved above its 20-day exponential moving average, which often means the price is likely to continue to increase. If XRP can break through the resistance level of $3.12 and turn it into a support level, the price could potentially reach $3.22. However, if investors start selling to take profits, the price could fall below $2.91.
Vietnam sets $379M capital rule for new crypto exchanges under pilot
Vietnam is launching a five-year pilot program to regulate crypto trading, aiming to bring the existing market out of the shadows. Under the new rules, only Vietnamese-owned crypto exchanges are allowed, with a high minimum capital requirement of approximately $379 million, a large portion of which must come from institutional investors. Foreign investors can only hold a maximum of 49% ownership. The program will allow Vietnamese crypto holders and foreign investors to open new accounts, but after six months from the first license issued, trading on unlicensed exchanges will be deemed illegal. This shift follows a new law recognizing digital assets starting in 2026 and an interest in blockchain as a driver for economic growth. A deal is already in motion with Dunamu's Upbit to help a Vietnamese bank build a crypto exchange. While Bitcoin is not legal tender, the government is exploring special zones for crypto within international financial centers.
Experts Decipher If Ripples XRP Lawsuit Saved Crypto World Just in Time
Experts are discussing the potential impact of expected U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts on cryptocurrencies, particularly XRP. With weak jobs data, investors anticipate easier monetary policy, as reflected in gold prices reaching a new record of $3,600. Lower interest rates could lead to increased investment in assets like gold, metals, and crypto, attracting new users to XRP, which is seen by some as an inflation hedge and a tool for international finance. Ripple's legal battle with the SEC, where the company was accused of selling unregistered securities, is viewed as a crucial victory that provided regulatory clarity for the crypto industry and encouraged institutional interest. Nasdaq is exploring tokenized securities, Stripe may launch its own blockchain, and Ripple's Swell conference is attracting institutional speakers, signaling growing corporate adoption of XRP and blockchain technology.
RLUSD Yes, XRP No: Why Is This Ripple Partner Choosing Only the Stablecoin?
VivoPower International PLC, a company aiming to build an XRP strategic reserve, is having its electric vehicle subsidiary, Tembo e-LV, accept payments in Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD. The company states that using RLUSD will speed up international transactions and reduce costs compared to traditional wire transfers. RLUSD is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and backed by US dollar deposits, short-term US treasuries, and other cash equivalents. While VivoPower is using RLUSD for payments, it continues its plan to accumulate XRP, having already purchased $30 million worth with plans to increase to $200 million. The likely reason for choosing the stablecoin over XRP for payments is due to RLUSD's stable value against the US dollar, avoiding the price volatility associated with XRP.
Dems Respond to GOP's Crypto Market Structure Bill With Framework of Priorities
Senate Democrats have proposed a framework for regulating the cryptocurrency market in response to a Republican market structure bill. The Democratic framework outlines seven key priorities, including consumer protection, defining regulatory jurisdictions for the SEC and CFTC, and preventing illicit finance and corruption. The proposal suggests that digital asset platforms should register as financial institutions with FinCEN and calls for legislation to clarify the regulatory landscape for digital assets that are not securities. A key point of contention may be preventing elected officials and their families from profiting from digital assets, an issue that previously stalled stablecoin legislation. The White House is seeking bipartisan input to ensure a bill can pass the Senate.
Ark Invest lifts BitMine holdings to $284M with fresh $4.4M purchase
Ark Invest, managed by Cathie Wood, increased its investment in BitMine Immersion Technologies by purchasing $4.4 million worth of shares across three of its exchange-traded funds on September 8, 2025. This purchase included 101,950 shares, bringing Ark Invest's total BitMine holdings to approximately $284 million. BitMine, initially a Bitcoin mining company, has shifted its focus to accumulating Ethereum, aiming to hold 5% of the total Ether supply. The company now holds over 2 million ETH tokens, valued at around $9 billion, representing a significant portion of corporate Ethereum holdings. BitMine's stock price has increased, currently trading at $43.81, reflecting investor confidence in the company's performance. Alongside this purchase, Ark Invest sold shares of Robinhood Markets for $5.13 million, citing profit-taking after the stock's recent increase. BitMine is allocating a portion of its balance sheet to strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem, including a $20 million investment in Eightco Holdings.

Market Veteran Raoul Pal Says You Cant Help But Stare at This XRP-Led Global Crypto Chart
Raoul Pal, founder of Global Macro Investor, has expressed a positive view on the cryptocurrency market, specifically highlighting the TOTAL3 market cap, which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum and is led by XRP. He suggests that altcoins, cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, could be about to increase significantly in value.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Faces Critical Risk After Israel Strikes Qatar
Bitcoin and Ethereum prices dropped after Israel struck Qatar, targeting Hamas officials. This geopolitical event caused investors to move towards safer investments like gold and oil. Bitcoin and Ethereum both fell over 1%, while other cryptocurrencies like Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also decreased in value, with Dogecoin falling the most at 3.2%. This market volatility led to approximately $370 million in liquidations, primarily affecting traders who had bet on continued price increases. Gold prices, in contrast, reached a record high, and oil prices also increased. This reflects Bitcoin's current tendency to act more like a risky asset during crises, similar to stocks, rather than as a safe haven like gold.
First Dogecoin ETF to launch on Sept 11, Bloomberg analyst says
According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the first Dogecoin ETF in the U.S., called DOJE, is expected to launch on September 11. This ETF, from Rex-Osprey, is unique because it will hold an asset (Dogecoin) with no intended utility. Rex-Osprey was able to expedite the ETF's approval by registering it under the Investment Company Act of 1940, using a structure involving a C-corporation and a Cayman Islands subsidiary, a method they previously used for their Staking Solana Fund. This news coincides with CleanCore Solutions, a company listed on the NYSE American exchange, purchasing $68 million worth of Dogecoin (285.4 million DOGE) for its digital asset treasury, aiming to increase its holdings to one billion DOGE and control 5% of the circulating supply. The Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge are supporting this initiative, envisioning Dogecoin as a digital asset for payments and other financial applications. The House of Doge is partnering with Bitstamp USA, now operating under Robinhood, to manage the Dogecoin treasury, aiming for increased transparency and the development of yield-bearing products.
BONK Surges 9% as Even as Memecoin Interest Shifts to Newer Tokens
BONK's price increased by 9% in the last 24 hours, moving from $0.000022 to $0.000024. Trading volume was high, exceeding 1.2 trillion tokens during the morning hours. The price faced resistance at $0.000024, while support was found around $0.000023. However, a sell-off later in the day caused a 1.14% price decrease with volume spiking above 35 billion tokens, leading to consolidation just above its support zone. This performance occurs as interest shifts towards newer memecoins offering staking and layer-2 integrations, while social engagement for older memecoins like BONK is declining.
James Wynn displaced as Hyperliquids biggest loser
A crypto trader with the wallet address 0xa523 has become the biggest loser on the Hyperliquid platform, accumulating over $40 million in losses in less than a month, surpassing James Wynn. This trader's portfolio includes a $152 million exposure, primarily in short positions. A significant portion of the losses, $39.66 million, came from selling 886,287 HYPE tokens before the token's price increased. The trader also incurred losses from short positions in Ether and currently holds a $152.6 million short position on Bitcoin with high leverage. Separately, another trader faced a $4 million loss due to a short bet against Launchcoin, triggering liquidations that affected other assets like MNT, POPCAT, LINK, and LDO. James Wynn, previously known for significant losses, had taken a hiatus but has returned to Hyperliquid.
VeChain Price Prediction 2025: Can VET Ride Bitcoins Rally and Surge 33% to $0.032?
VeChain (VET) is showing signs of recovery, with a recent increase in value, but it's still down 2.1% over the past month. The article explores whether VET can reach a price of $0.032 by November 2, 2025. This potential 33.33% increase is dependent on Bitcoin's performance, as VET tends to follow Bitcoin's trends. Bitcoin has recently rebounded to above $113,000, which could positively influence VET. Additionally, potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could inject more money into crypto markets, further boosting VET. However, the article also warns of risks, including historical weakness in crypto during September and general market volatility, which could prevent VET from reaching its target.
CFTC May Approve Foreign Crypto Exchanges Under U.S. Rules What It Means for Traders
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is considering allowing foreign crypto exchanges to operate under U.S. regulations. This could allow American traders to access more markets and bring crypto trading that's happening outside the U.S. under American oversight. The CFTC may recognize foreign exchanges that meet similar regulatory standards to the U.S., such as those in Europe operating under MiFID or MiCA regulations. This move aims to encourage crypto firms to return to the U.S., as many have moved overseas due to unclear regulations in America. The CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are working together to clarify the rules around digital assets in the U.S. through initiatives like Crypto Sprint and Project Crypto, focusing on harmonizing regulations. Meanwhile, regulators globally are increasing their scrutiny of crypto exchanges operating outside their jurisdictions, with examples of actions taken in India, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Strong demand and consistent buying at higher price levels have characterized this recent price increase for PEPE.

Investors are closely monitoring both the ETF launch and Dogecoin's price movements.
Bitcoin Accumulator Demand Skyrockets To Record 266K BTC Strong Holder Conviction
Bitcoin is currently trading around $110,000 as investors are waiting for news from the US Federal Reserve about potential interest rate changes. Many are hoping for a rate cut. Despite this uncertainty, there's a positive sign: a record number of Bitcoin "accumulator" addresses, which steadily buy Bitcoin and never sell, have reached over 266,000. These addresses show that some investors are confident in Bitcoin's long-term value. This increasing demand from long-term holders could help Bitcoin maintain its price and potentially increase once the Federal Reserve makes its decision. Bitcoin faces immediate resistance around $114,000, and support at $111,000 and $110,000.
XRP Price Prediction For 2025 2030 As One Meme Coin Is Expected To Rally From $0.0053 To $3
Recent predictions for XRP's price show steady growth, estimating it to reach between $1.50 and $3.50 by 2025 and potentially $5 to $8 by 2030. However, some traders are turning their attention to newer cryptocurrencies, specifically a meme coin called Layer Brett, which is currently in presale at $0.0053. Layer Brett is speculated to potentially rise to $3, offering a significantly higher return compared to XRP's projected growth. This meme coin is designed for rapid movement and offers staking rewards to early buyers with an APY over 850%. While XRP is considered a stable and regulated cryptocurrency, Layer Brett is viewed as a high-risk, high-reward investment option driven by social media hype and community engagement.
XRP Price Prediction Signals Caution As PayFis XRP 2.0 Picks Up Steam
The cryptocurrency XRP is showing some positive signs, with its price recently bouncing back to $2.96. There's optimism due to travel industry integrations and institutional interest, but analysts advise caution because the price could fall again if it doesn't maintain its upward trend.

A crypto expert, AJC, claims Ethereum's network is declining due to a significant drop in revenue, despite recent price increases. Ethereum's revenue fell to $39.2 million in the past month, a 75% decrease from $157.4 million a year prior and a 40% decrease compared to the previous year, marking one of its worst monthly performances since early 2021. This decline raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of Ethereum's fundamentals. The expert argues that the community is ignoring these warning signs, focusing instead on the rising price of ETH. While some in the crypto community dispute this view, highlighting growth in areas like app revenue and layer-2 adoption, AJC dismisses these metrics as misleading, arguing they don't reflect real user demand.
U.S. jobs market weaker than reported as BLS slashes 911,000 positions
The U.S. Labor Department admitted that previous reports overstated job growth by 911,000 positions over a year-long period ending in March, marking the largest revision since 2002. This correction, based on updated data, reveals a weaker job market than initially portrayed. The biggest job losses were in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and retail trade. While the stock market reaction was muted, Treasury yields increased, possibly signaling expectations for future Federal Reserve rate cuts. A further revision of the data is expected in February 2026, and the current numbers show that job growth has been significantly less than previously reported.The private sector was impacted much more severely than the public sector.
SOL Strategies Becomes First Solana Treasury Firm to List on NASDAQ
SOL Strategies, formerly Cypherpunk Holdings, began trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker STKE, marking the first Solana treasury company to be listed on Wall Street. CEO Leah Wald emphasized the launch as an inclusive event, holding a digital "on-chain bell ringing" for community participation. Previously focused on privacy coins and Bitcoin, the company pivoted to Solana in mid-2024 under Wald's leadership, rebranding as SOL Strategies Inc. By 2025, the company significantly increased its Solana holdings, purchasing over 148,000 SOL in May alone, reaching approximately 435,064 SOL by the end of August, valued at over $93 million, making them the third-largest corporate Solana holder globally. The company filed a $1 billion prospectus for expansion and raised $125 million in equity in August. Following the NASDAQ listing, SOL Strategies' HODL stock on the Canadian Securities Exchange increased by 4%, exceeding CA$13.
12 Senate Democrats Release Crypto Regulation Framework, End Partys Public Silence
Twelve Senate Democrats have released a framework for crypto regulation, marking the end of their public silence on the matter. The framework aims to close regulatory gaps, ensure consumer disclosures, and require crypto platforms to register with FinCEN to prevent illicit finance. It also proposes stricter oversight and funding for the SEC and CFTC. A key aspect of the framework targets potential conflicts of interest, seeking to block elected officials and their families from profiting from digital assets. This move comes after Republican-led crypto legislative efforts and internal Democratic divisions over crypto policy. The framework sets the stage for negotiations between Democrats and Republicans on crypto regulation, focusing on enforcement, presidential conflicts, and regulatory jurisdiction.
US Healthcare Is 'F***ed,' Says Cardano's Hoskinson, Pitches AI, Blockchain Solutions
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and early Ethereum co-founder, believes the US healthcare system is fundamentally flawed due to misaligned financial incentives for doctors, who he claims are incentivized to keep patients sick for profit. To address this, Hoskinson is investing $200 million into a medical center in Gillette, Wyoming, aiming for patient-centric care that doesn't deny treatment based on ability to pay. He plans to incorporate AI to assist doctors with up-to-date medical knowledge and real-time auditing, and blockchain technology for secure data verification without revealing personal details. Hoskinson intends to open-source the entire model for replication elsewhere. However, he claims the established hospital system in Wyoming is actively hindering his efforts by delaying doctor credentialing. He views this project as a crucial legacy for himself and his family.

A Dogecoin ETF, called $DOJE, is expected to launch in the U.S. under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This would be the first U.S. ETF based on a cryptocurrency primarily known for its speculative and cultural value, rather than inherent utility. REX Shares and Osprey Funds, who also launched a Solana staking ETF earlier this year, are backing the ETF. Dogecoin's price has already increased by 17% in the past week in anticipation of the launch. The ETF approval is viewed by some as a sign that institutional investors are recognizing value in community and culture. Canary Capital Group has also filed for a TRUMP Coin ETF. The market is watching to see if this ETF will bring more investment into memecoins within regulated products.
U.S. Marks Down Payroll Gains by 911K in Largest Benchmark Revision Ever
The U.S. government revised its payroll figures, revealing 911,000 fewer jobs created in the year ending March 2025 than initially reported.

Coinbase Falls Out of Top 10 XRP Holders, Bill Morgan Quips On Delisting
Coinbase's XRP reserves have significantly decreased, causing it to fall out of the top 10 exchanges holding the cryptocurrency. Coinbase's XRP holdings dropped by 85% in two months, from 884.3 million to 132.4 million. Upbit currently holds the most XRP among exchanges, with 5.87 billion. Attorney Bill Morgan joked about Coinbase potentially delisting XRP again, this time by reducing their holdings to zero. Coinbase had previously suspended and then delisted XRP due to regulatory issues but resumed trading in July 2023. Despite the drop in XRP reserves, Coinbase recently launched 5x leverage perpetual futures for XRP, indicating ongoing support for the token.
Perpetual-Style Crypto Futures Coming to U.S. as Cboe Eyes November Launch
Cboe, a derivatives exchange, plans to launch a new type of crypto futures contract for Bitcoin and Ether on November 10, pending regulatory approval. These "Continuous futures" are designed to mimic perpetual futures popular on international exchanges but are tailored to fit U.S. regulations. Unlike traditional futures that expire monthly or quarterly, these contracts can last up to 10 years, reducing the need for frequent rebalancing. The contracts will be adjusted daily based on spot prices using a funding rate mechanism and will be cash-settled in U.S. dollars. Cboe believes these futures will appeal to both institutional and retail traders looking for exposure to crypto derivatives within a regulated environment. The futures will be cleared through Cboe Clear U.S., a derivatives clearinghouse overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Vietnam ranks fourth globally in crypto adoption, with a significant contribution from Vietnamese developers to crypto projects like Axie Infinity, Kyber Network, and Pendle. Recent price movements show AXS is up nearly 2%, PENDLE down 1%, and KNC up over 1.5% with increased trading volumes.

Genki, Nintendo finally reach resolution over prerelease promotions of Switch 2
Nintendo and accessory maker Genki (Human Things) have settled a lawsuit regarding Genki's prerelease promotions for the Switch 2 console. Nintendo filed the lawsuit in May, alleging trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising due to Genki's marketing of accessories for the unreleased console, including displaying a 3D-printed mockup at CES. Genki is accused of using names and promotional material that could confuse customers into believing they were affiliated with Nintendo. As part of the settlement, Genki will pay Nintendo an undisclosed amount in damages and is restricted in how it can market future products, particularly in using Nintendo's branding. They can only reference Nintendo products when making verified compatibility claims and must clearly state they are a third-party accessory maker. Nintendo claimed Genki advertised the Switch 2 before its official release and before technical specifications were public. Despite these restrictions, Genki can still state that its devices work with the Switch 2, but it cannot use parody names or mimic Nintendos branding. The Switch 2 has sold six million units in its first seven weeks.
Confirmed: Altcoin Season Starts This Day for 3 Coins
The article suggests that a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut, expected as early as September 17th, could trigger a significant altcoin rally. It highlights three altcoins, Cardano (ADA), Hedera (HBAR), and SEI, as being particularly well-positioned to benefit. Cardano has seen a 300% increase in institutional holdings this year and increased whale activity. The U.S. Clarity Act may classify ADA as a mature blockchain, potentially leading to ETF approvals. HBAR is awaiting a decision on its ETF by November 8th. It also has ongoing partnerships with SWIFT for cross-border payments and has been selected as the blockchain platform for Wyoming's Frontier Stable Token. SEI experienced a price increase earlier in the year due to Wyoming selecting it for a stablecoin pilot and Circle holding a significant amount of SEI tokens. SEI is also expected to undergo a major upgrade called Giga, promising faster transaction speeds.
US Congressman Calls for Probe Into Chinese Bitcoin Mining Firms Bitmain, Cango
A U.S. Congressman, Zachary Nunn, is requesting the Treasury Department to investigate Bitmain and Cango, two companies with ties to China that are involved in Bitcoin mining. Nunn is concerned about their ownership structures and potential connections to the Chinese government. Bitmain controls over 80% of the global Bitcoin mining hardware market, and Cango has been mentioned as a possible acquisition target. The Congressman wants the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to examine the companies due to concerns about American energy security, digital asset markets, and potential surveillance risks from foreign-made technology. Both Bitmain and Cango claim they comply with U.S. laws and have no government affiliations. Despite China's ban on Bitcoin mining in 2021, Chinese influence in the industry remains significant, with a large percentage of mining operations still connected to Chinese capital or expertise. Chinese companies have also shifted Bitcoin mining hardware production to the U.S. to avoid tariffs, boosting the U.S.'s share of Bitcoin mining power.

It also coincides with discussions in Washington about establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and optimistic predictions regarding crypto adoption.
Bitcoin Futures Cool as Whale Activity Drops Ahead of Key Inflation Data $105K Retest Next?
The Bitcoin futures market is showing signs of cooling off as large investors (whales) reduce their activity, potentially indicating a bearish sentiment. This is happening ahead of the release of important inflation data (CPI and PPI) which are expected to heavily influence market behavior. These reports are expected on Wednesday and Thursday. Analysts are suggesting that Bitcoin's price could potentially fall to the $103,000-$105,000 range. Recent data shows increased selling pressure in the futures market and significant Bitcoin futures outflows. Bitcoin's price has been struggling to break above $113,000, and its future direction heavily depends on whether it can maintain above this value. If inflation data comes in lower than expected, this could boost Bitcoin, suggesting that the Federal Reserve may implement rate cuts soon. But a hotter-than-expected inflation reading could negatively impact Bitcoin.
easyGroup Launches Bitcoin App for U.S. Retail Investors

Uphold's survey included 1,001 U.S. respondents aged 25-50 with at least a university degree and earning a minimum of $80,000 per year. A U.K. version of the app is planned for release later this year.
How Are DOGE Whales Reacting to Possible Dogecoin ETF? Santiment Weighs In
A Dogecoin ETF, named Rex-Osprey DOGE ETF, with ticker DOJE, may soon launch in the U.S., managed by REX Shares and Osprey Funds. This would allow investors to invest in Dogecoin without directly owning it. Anticipation around the potential approval of this ETF has increased as regulators are expected to approve it faster due to a specific strategy called the 40 Act. Dogecoin whales, specifically those holding 1 million to 10 million DOGE, have been accumulating more coins since August 25, now holding 10.91 billion DOGE, which is 7.23% of the total supply, and are at a four-year high. Some traders are also betting on other meme coins like Maxi Doge (MAXI) in anticipation that a Dogecoin ETF launch could benefit the meme coin sector as a whole.
Musk's trillion-dollar Tesla pay day hangs on 'very optimistic' $8.5 trillion valuation
Elon Musk's potential compensation package at Tesla is tied to the company reaching an $8.5 trillion valuation within ten years. This valuation would require Tesla to exceed the combined market value of Microsoft and Nvidia. Shareholders will vote on the plan in November. The plan's milestones are linked to profit targets and the rollout of robotaxis and the Optimus humanoid robot. One analysis suggests Tesla would need to sell 100 million robots annually at $25,000 each to meet profit targets associated with the plan. Current valuations place Tesla far from these goals, requiring significant growth in earnings and new markets like robotics. Some analysts believe the targets are very aggressive, requiring substantial contributions from robotics and AI markets currently not factored into forecasts. The decision for shareholders will rely on their belief in Musks vision for the robotic economy.
Donald Trump Floats 100 BPS Rate Cut Ahead of FOMC Meeting

House Bill Moves Trumps Strategic Bitcoin Reserve a Step Closer
A bill in the House of Representatives is advancing the concept of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The bill, H.R.5166, directs the Treasury Secretary to study the feasibility of creating and managing a government Bitcoin reserve and a digital asset stockpile, and to report findings to Congress within 90 days. This follows a prior executive order to establish a federal Bitcoin and digital asset stockpile. The U.S. government already holds roughly 198,000 Bitcoin, worth about $22.4 billion, from previous law enforcement seizures. The bill requires the Treasury to explore how these seized crypto assets would be transferred into a reserve, how they would affect the Treasury's Forfeiture Fund, how they would be accounted for on the government balance sheet, and which custodians would hold and secure them. It also looks at the cybersecurity protocols for holding and transferring these assets. If enacted, the Treasury's report would be due likely by mid-2026. Other countries like Kazakhstan and the Philippines are also considering similar strategic crypto reserve plans.
California Man Sentenced in $36.9M Crypto Scam Tied to Infamous Huione Group
A California man received a 51-month prison sentence for laundering $36.9 million from a cryptocurrency investment scam originating from scam centers in Cambodia. The scheme targeted American investors with promises of high crypto investment returns. Funds were laundered, in part, through Huione International Payments, operating under Huione Guarantee, a large Telegram-based marketplace that facilitated an estimated $98 billion in illicit crypto transactions before being shut down in May. The man, a former co-owner of Axis Digital in the Bahamas, transferred scam proceeds to a Deltec Bank account in the Bahamas, converting the funds to tether (USDT) for distribution back to Cambodia. Eight other co-conspirators have pleaded guilty, including Daren Li, who has been in U.S. custody since April 2024 on separate money laundering charges.
EUR/USD Weekly Forecast: US Dollar plunges ahead ofEuropean Central Bank decision
The EUR/USD pair remained relatively stable for the third consecutive week, closing near 1.1700. Early in the week, turmoil in the UK bond market caused some initial risk aversion, but the focus quickly shifted to US economic data. US employment data released throughout the week was weaker than expected, with job openings decreasing, job cuts increasing, and private sector job growth falling short of forecasts. The US ISM Manufacturing PMI improved slightly but missed expectations, while the Services PMI increased. The weak data led to increased speculation of potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The US Dollar declined sharply after the Nonfarm Payrolls report revealed modest job growth of only 22,000 in August, significantly below the expected 75,000. Meanwhile, Eurozone inflation data showed a rise in the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices, while retail sales decreased. The European Central Bank is expected to hold interest rates steady at its upcoming meeting. The EUR/USD pair's technical outlook suggests a potential for upward movement, but momentum is limited.
Crypto Analyst Advises XRP Investors To Not Get Caught, Heres What He Means
Crypto analyst Austin Hilton is advising XRP investors to remain patient and not sell their holdings during the current period where the price isn't moving much, which he sees as a normal consolidation phase before a potential price increase. He points to a previous rally after a similar consolidation period as evidence. Another expert, Gordon, predicts XRP could surge to $6 based on its current consolidation and positive chart patterns, which would require a rally of approximately 103% from its current price of around $2.95.
Crypto Cloud Reset: Putin Adviser Accuses US Of Plot To Erase $35 Trillion Debt
A senior advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of planning to use cryptocurrencies, specifically US dollar stablecoins, and gold to devalue its $35 trillion national debt. Anton Kobyakov claimed the US aims to address a crisis of confidence in the dollar by using crypto and gold as alternative currencies. He alleges the US will move its debt into stablecoins, devalue it, and essentially start over. This accusation comes as the US federal debt is around $37.4 trillion, while the stablecoin market is only in the high-$200 billions, and tokenized US Treasury products total about $7.4 billion. Recent US policy, like the GENIUS Act, requires stablecoins to be 100% backed by cash and short-term Treasuries, potentially increasing demand for Treasury bills. Separately, President Trump issued an executive order establishing a federal bitcoin reserve to manage government-owned crypto, and even suggested using Bitcoin to pay off the national debt.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Targets New Highs as Profit-Takers Step Aside and Addresses Surge
Dogecoin's price has increased by 10% in the last two days, reaching $0.2373, after breaking out of a period of sideways trading. This price surge is happening at the same time as more people are using Dogecoin for transactions. The number of unique addresses involved in Dogecoin transactions has increased by 16% in the past two days. Fewer people are taking profits, which means more people are holding onto their Dogecoin, reducing the amount of Dogecoin available and potentially driving the price higher. The next price target for Dogecoin is around $0.2557. However, a price drop could push Dogecoin back to a support level of $0.2347, and if it falls below that, it could drop further to $0.2203.
Fidelity Launches FDIT Tokenized Fund
Fidelity has introduced FDIT, a tokenized version of its Treasury fund, operating on the Ethereum blockchain. This allows U.S. Treasuries to be traded 24/7 with secure custody for institutions.

Hackers Drain $41 Million From SwissBorgs Solana Earn
The crypto platform SwissBorg experienced a security breach resulting in the loss of approximately $41 million in Solana (SOL). The vulnerability was located within a third-party API used by SwissBorg's SOL Earn program provided by their staking partner Kiln. Hackers exploited this vulnerability and stole around 193,000 SOL.

Perpetual futures trading on Solana is booming, with open interest exceeding $7 billion. The price of SOL has risen above $200, fueling this growth and setting new records. Much of the activity is centered around decentralized exchanges like Jupiter and Drift Protocol, with Jupiter alone seeing over $25 billion in perpetual futures swaps.

The Solana Fear and Greed index shows signs of greed, and open interest on all exchanges is at a three-year peak of $7.48 billion. There is an increase of leveraged positions and significant short positions, indicating potential for volatility and liquidations. The total value locked on Solana has reached over $12 billion, further boosted by a substantial amount of stablecoins on the network.

Hyperliquids' native token HYPE has increased by 12% to a new all-time high of $53.36, with trading volume up 141% to $397 million, due to the competition to launch USDH.

From Meme to Millions: Dogecoin and Shiba Inu in Online Casinos
Dogecoin, created in 2013, and Shiba Inu, launched in 2020, initially started as internet memes and have now become popular cryptocurrencies used in online casinos. Dogecoin's appeal stems from its fast transaction speeds, low fees (often fractions of a cent), and strong community, further boosted by Elon Musk's support. Shiba Inu gained traction through its community, the ShibArmy, and its ecosystem developments, including the Shibarium layer-2 solution. These meme coins are especially popular with younger users, typically aged 18-34, who find them culturally relevant and a low-cost entry point to crypto gambling. Dogecoin transactions are typically faster, confirming in about one minute, while Shiba Inu confirmations depend on the Ethereum network, taking approximately 15 seconds per Ethereum block with 3-12 confirmations. The casinos either convert these cryptocurrencies to USD/EUR equivalents for play or allow balances to be held in DOGE/SHIB. Although Shiba Inu fees can be high, solutions exist to lower them. Value volatility remains a risk for players using these coins.
KAITO price soars as Capital Launchpad activity spikes
The price of KAITO token has increased significantly following a surge in activity on the Kaito Capital Launchpad. The price reached a high of $1.52 before settling around $1.39, marking a 38% increase on the day with trading volume exceeding $462 million, a 1,230% jump. This rise coincides with the Kaito Capital Launchpad reaching $170 million in pledged allocations, driven by successful public token sales of projects like Everlyn AI and Play AI. Everlyn AI sold out its $2 million raise, while Play AI aims to raise over $2 million with its token sale launching September 8, 2025. Boundless also completed its public sale allocations, seeing significant oversubscription with $71.5 million pledged from approximately 22,000 investors. The rise in KAITO's price reflects growing traction in its ecosystem. It's important to note that the price's future will depend on the Launchpad's ongoing success in attracting promising projects, investor appetite, and overall crypto market conditions. Potential future price highs for KAITO could be around $2.92, but volatility and broader market factors could also lead to declines, with key levels to watch on the downside being $1.24 and $1.12.
WLD Price Surges 122% as Gold Hits Record Highs & Treasury Strategy Boosts Momentum
Worldcoin's (WLD) price has seen a significant surge, increasing by 122% in the last 24 hours. This rise coincides with gold reaching a record high of $3,649 per ounce, suggesting investors are seeking alternatives to traditional financial systems. Worldcoin broke out of a bearish trend, experiencing a 150% spike earlier in the week before settling at $1.89, still showing triple-digit gains. Eightco Holdings Inc. announced a $250 million private placement, and BitMine invested $20 million to launch a Worldcoin treasury strategy, further boosting the price. OCTO stock, linked to digital assets, also benefited, jumping from $2.74 to a peak of $83.12. Analysts predict a potential 200% rally to $7 in 2025 if certain price levels are surpassed, but caution due to market volatility.
Solana is Breaking: Can SOL Price Gain 40% to Reach a New All-Time High?
Solana's price has broken through a key resistance level of $200, indicating renewed buying interest. This surge is supported by a rise in daily active addresses to over 1.2 million and the network's DeFi TVL exceeding $4.8 billion, alongside strong NFT trading volumes. Open interest in Solana derivatives has also surpassed $1.6 billion. Macroeconomic factors, such as optimism about potential U.S. rate cuts and speculation around a possible Solana ETF, are contributing to the positive momentum. If Solana maintains its position above the immediate resistance, it could potentially rally by 40%, targeting $244 and $260. The analysis indicates that reaching $300 is possible between Q4 2025 and early 2026, provided the price stays above $200 and network activity remains high.

XRP Price Holds Around $2.80 But Analysts Are Backing This Viral Altcoin To Breakout This Week
The cryptocurrency XRP is currently priced around $2.96, with signs of buyer support at $2.86 potentially pushing it towards $3. Air China's PhoenixMiles program is now integrating XRP for international airport transfers and car rentals through a partnership with Wetour. Meanwhile, Rollblock (RBLK), a new crypto project, is generating significant interest. Rollblock is a licensed and regulated Web3 platform offering AI-powered games and a sports prediction league, with over $15 million in bets processed. Its deflationary system uses 30% of weekly revenue for token buybacks, burning 60% and distributing 40% to stakers. The Rollblock presale has sold over 83% of its tokens at $0.068, raising $11.6 million. Analysts suggest Rollblock has the potential for significant growth, possibly up to 50x, due to its tokenomics and staking rewards. Rollblock's market cap is a fraction of XRP's, suggesting more potential upside. Rollblock enables payments via Apple Pay, Visa, and Google Pay.
