Following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto market is seeing renewed interest in alternative cryptocurrencies. Avalanche (AVAX) is being watched for a potential breakout due to its strong blockchain technology, with analysts suggesting it could reach new price levels if it overcomes resistance. Shiba Inu (SHIB), while currently down from its all-time high, is still on investors' radar due to its strong community and potential for short-term gains if meme coin interest returns. A new cryptocurrency in presale, MAGACOIN FINANCE, is also gaining attention, with forecasts of a significant return on investment by 2025. Investors are considering these altcoins as potential opportunities after the recent ETF hype.

Historically, September has often been a difficult month for Bitcoin, with prices tending to decline. This is attributed to factors like investors taking profits or covering expenses, and a general expectation of price drops. August 2025 saw Bitcoin reach a high of $124,533 before falling by 11% due to a large Bitcoin sell-off by a whale, resulting in significant market liquidations. The market's thin liquidity amplified the price volatility. A crypto trader suggests three possible scenarios for September: a sideways trading range between $110,000 and $120,000, a further price drop if Bitcoin falls below $110,000, or a quick price rebound if institutions buy aggressively. Traders should pay attention to options market activity and macroeconomic signals to gauge market sentiment as September unfolds.

The article discusses whether Dogecoin (DOGE) or Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is more likely to reach $1. Analysts favor Mutuum Finance due to its DeFi mechanics, including a stablecoin system where users can borrow against ETH deposits. Mutuum Finance is in Phase 6 of its presale, priced at $0.035, and has generated around $15.14 million with over 15,850 holders participating; 30% of the tokens allocated for Phase 6 are sold. Mutuum Finance has undergone a CertiK audit, receiving a Token Scan Score of 95.00 and a Skynet Score of 78.00. The project intends to launch a beta version, integrate with a Layer-2 solution, and use protocol revenue to buy back MUTM tokens and distribute them to mtToken stakers. Investors in Phase 6 could see a potential 28.57x profit if MUTM reaches $1. Phase 7 will introduce a 15% price increase.

Shiba Inu's price is struggling, having fallen over 70% from its peak to around $0.00001239. Due to this decline and concerns about further price drops, some traders are shifting their focus to new projects that offer real-world uses. One such project is Remittix (RTX), which aims to provide crypto-to-bank transfers in over 30 countries. Remittix has already raised $22.4 million, sold over 630 million tokens, is priced at $0.10, and is planning to launch a wallet supporting multiple cryptocurrencies and traditional currencies in Q3 2025. It has also secured listings on the BitMart and LBANK exchanges, and aims to facilitate global payments for businesses. The shift from Shiba Inu to Remittix reflects a move towards cryptocurrencies with practical applications rather than just speculative trading.

Thai authorities arrested a Russian national, Dmitrii, on Koh Samui for allegedly robbing another Russian, Aleksandr, of approximately 1.2 million baht worth of USDT cryptocurrency (around 35,000 USDT) in Phuket. Aleksandr reported being lured to a meeting, attacked by four Russian nationals, and forced to transfer his crypto. Dmitrii was caught hiding in a car trunk, attempting to flee with the help of another Russian national, Stolbov Gleb. He is being transferred back to Phuket for legal proceedings. This incident is part of a growing trend of crypto-related kidnappings and robberies globally, prompting wealthy crypto holders to seek private security.

World Liberty Financials' WLFI token is generating significant interest before its September 1 launch. Futures contracts for WLFI have surpassed $800 million in open interest, indicating heavy trading activity. Data shows a 68% increase in open interest in the past day, reaching $809.3 million, alongside a 141% jump in trading volume to $1.76 billion, with Binance accounting for over half of this activity. A notable trade on the Hyperliquid exchange shows a whale account holding over 8.6 million WLFI with 3x leverage, initially showing $644,000 in gains and later updated to nearly $1 million. Major platforms like OKX are preparing for the launch, converting pre-market contracts into perpetual futures and opening deposits for the token.

Korean retail investors are heavily investing in U.S.-listed crypto-related stocks, even as the share prices of these companies decline. So far this year, Korean individuals have purchased over $12 billion in shares of companies like Bitmine, Circle Internet Group, and Coinbase. In August alone, they invested $426 million in Bitmine, $226 million in Circle, and $183 million in Coinbase, as well as $282 million in a 2x Ether ETF. Despite significant drops in share prices, specifically in Bitmine (down nearly 68% from its peak) and Circle (down over 50%), Korean investors continued to buy these stocks. However, there are signals that the buying enthusiasm may be slowing down, as noted by 10x Research, with examples like KakaoPay's decline.

Dogecoin's price has fallen from $0.245 to around $0.21-$0.2296, with weekly losses of 1.16%-10.50%, causing concern among investors. This decline coincides with a broader market downturn, including a slight drop in Bitcoin's price. As Dogecoin struggles, a new memecoin called Layer Brett ($LBRETT) is gaining attention. Currently in presale at $0.0053, some analysts predict it could increase in value by 100 times, drawing comparisons to PEPE's earlier rapid growth. Layer Brett is built on Ethereum Layer 2 and claims to offer faster transactions and additional features like staking and NFT capabilities. PEPE had a massive price surge followed by a crash, but later recovered, demonstrating the potential for community-driven memecoins. Some investors believe Layer Brett could be the next cryptocurrency to experience significant gains.

Bitcoin experienced a rough August, declining 8% and erasing its summer rally. This contrasts sharply with Ether, which rose 14% during the same period. While Bitcoin spot ETFs saw inflows, Ether ETFs attracted significantly more capital this month, with $4 billion flowing into Ether ETFs compared to $629 million for Bitcoin ETFs. This shift in capital allocation may be due to limited capital and Ether's smaller market cap. Historically, September has also been a challenging month for Bitcoin, with declines in eight out of the last twelve years.

The official Litecoin account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a controversial message that criticized XRP, a different cryptocurrency. This caused a stir online, with people from both the Litecoin and XRP communities arguing about it. The Litecoin tweet questioned the value of XRP, comparing it to a "digital bank drive-up tube." Many people reacted negatively, pointing out Litecoin's past issues and questioning the motives behind the tweet. Some XRP supporters reminded people that Litecoin's value has decreased significantly since it was a top cryptocurrency. However, some Litecoin supporters defended the tweet, saying that Litecoin is used more for transactions than XRP.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is planning to launch a memecoin called "Trump Corruption Coin" to criticize Donald Trump's involvement in the cryptocurrency market. Newsom intends for the coin to highlight what he considers Trump's use of memecoins and crypto to enhance his political image. Trump has reportedly made millions through memecoins, NFTs, and other crypto ventures, disclosing earnings of $57.4 million from World Liberty Financial and holding 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens. His company, Trump Media and Technology Group, holds over $2 billion in Bitcoin and other digital assets, with estimated crypto earnings of $2.4 billion since 2022, representing a significant portion of his political-era wealth.

The article promotes BlockchainFX ($BFX) as a superior investment opportunity compared to Dogecoin, highlighting its ongoing presale. It states that BlockchainFX is a live trading app that combines crypto, stocks, forex, and commodities, already boasting over 10,000 daily users and having passed a CertiK audit. A key feature is the redistribution of up to 70% of trading fees to token holders in USDT, promising up to 90% APY even during the presale. The presale price has increased from $0.02 to $0.021, raising over $6.28 million, with a guaranteed launch price of $0.05. The article mentions a $100,000 buy-in competition and a $500,000 giveaway to incentivize early adoption. It forecasts substantial growth for BlockchainFX, projecting significant increases in revenue, user base, and trading volume by 2030, and confirms listings on five centralized exchanges. The article contrasts this with Dogecoin's slowing growth and suggests that investors may experience regret by sticking with Dogecoin rather than exploring new presales like BlockchainFX. A limited-time offer to get 35% more BFX tokens with the code AUG35 is advertised.

In August 2025, the BAY Miner app is enabling Ethereum investors to earn passive income, potentially exceeding $40,000 per month, through cloud mining. The app offers a user-friendly interface, eliminating the need for traditional mining hardware and infrastructure, and supports ETH, BTC, and XRP mining. Ethereum's increased transaction volume, ETF inflows exceeding $4 billion monthly, and the Dencun Upgrade have contributed to its strength, attracting institutional capital. BAY Miner offers various mining plans, such as a Bitcoin Basic Plan with a $100 investment yielding $4 daily over two days and a Premium Plan with a $50,000 investment yielding $910 daily over 45 days, along with sign-up and referral bonuses. The app emphasizes compounding profits through reinvestment, transparency, security, and accessibility, and claims it enables investors to generate consistent daily returns regardless of market volatility.

Web3 startups secured $9.6 billion in venture capital in the second quarter of 2025, marking the second-highest quarterly total ever, although the number of deals decreased to its lowest point since mid-2023. Investors are now prioritizing fewer, larger investments in infrastructure-related areas like validator networks and compute capabilities. Private token sales experienced a surge, while public sales significantly declined, indicating a move towards strategically planned, institutionally driven fundraising activities. The median deal sizes have increased across all stages, which is reflective of a growing confidence and focus on essential infrastructure projects. Specifically, Series A funding has rebounded, with the median size of these rounds reaching $17.6 million, the highest since early 2022. June concluded the quarter with a record-breaking $5.14 billion raised, establishing it as the strongest fundraising quarter in recent years, with investment trends showing a strong focus on infrastructure-for-consumer platforms. A fund called Pure Crypto, established in 2018, has seen returns of nearly 1,000% and is preparing to launch its fourth fund, anticipating a final wave of venture-style profits in the crypto sector before increased regulation and corporate adoption potentially change the landscape.

A Bitcoin thriller movie called 'Killing Satoshi' is set to release in 2026, starring Pete Davidson and possibly Casey Affleck, and directed by Doug Liman. The movie will explore the mystery surrounding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and the potential threat this poses to global power structures. The film will depict the creation of Bitcoin in 2009 and how it has impacted global finance, portraying Bitcoin as a symbol of freedom for supporters and a threat to governments and corporations. Filming will begin in London in October. The movie producers highlight the action-packed drama, political intrigue, and high-tech espionage that will be featured as forces compete for control.

XRP is currently trading at $2.82, with a market capitalization of $167.5 billion. Large holders of XRP have been selling off their holdings throughout 2025, while retail traders are increasingly bullish, with open interest at $2.87 billion. Gemini and Ripple have launched an XRP credit card offering cashback rewards. CME XRP futures contracts have reached $1 billion in open interest quickly, leading to speculation about a spot XRP ETF being approved by the end of 2025. Technically, XRP price is below a descending trendline, with key resistance at $2.99 and support at $2.79. A breakout above $2.99 could lead to a rally towards $3.43, while a drop below $2.79 could result in a fall to $2.28. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is launching as a Bitcoin-native Layer 2 solution powered by Solana, with its presale already exceeding $13 million.

Bitcoin's price has slightly increased by 1.50% to around $109,000 after a price correction. According to CryptoQuant data, Bitcoin may experience further price drops before a full recovery. Historically, strong Bitcoin rebounds have occurred when the Trader Realized Profit/Loss Margin (P/L Margin) reaches around -12%, indicating significant losses for short-term holders. Currently, the P/L Margin is around -2%, suggesting more losses might be needed before a significant rebound. Bitcoin's realized price, the average cost basis of all coins, is about $112,000. Sustained trading above this level could signal a bullish phase, while trading below it could indicate further selling pressure. For market sentiment to stabilize, Bitcoin needs to break above the $112,000 level, potentially targeting $116,000.

United States and Dutch authorities have jointly shut down VerifTools, an online marketplace selling fake IDs, which accepted cryptocurrency as payment. The marketplace generated over $6.4 million in revenue and had an annual turnover of approximately $1.5 million, making it a significant international facilitator of fake documents. The operation involved seizing physical and virtual servers in Amsterdam and taking control of the marketplace's domains. Users of the site could upload a photo and fake data to create counterfeit identification, including driver's licenses, often purchased with crypto. Authorities are continuing to analyze the seized data to identify and apprehend the website's administrators. The takedown aims to combat fraud and identity theft.

Recent news suggests Pepe Coin's price could potentially increase significantly, with some predicting gains of up to 8,000% by January 2025 if it breaks past a key resistance level. On-chain data indicates whales are accumulating Pepe Coin, while exchange balances are decreasing, and technical indicators hint at a bullish trend. The article also highlights Remittix (RTX) as a promising alternative altcoin, having raised over $22.4 million and secured listings on BitMart and LBank. Remittix aims to provide a crypto-to-fiat payment system, allowing users to convert cryptocurrency into traditional currency and send it to bank accounts worldwide. The company's wallet beta release is scheduled for September 15th. Analysts suggest Remittix could experience substantial growth due to its focus on real-world usability and addressing remittance challenges. There is also a $250K giveaway.

Recent XRP news reveals mixed signals for investors. XRP's price briefly fell below $2.80, causing concern, while some large holders have been selling off their XRP, data indicates that other big investors are accumulating it, seeing the price dip as a buying opportunity. Overall network growth is also strong, with new addresses increasing. Ripple achieved a legal resolution in early August 2025, removing a major obstacle for XRP. Consequently, institutional investors, especially in Asia like Japan's SBI, are showing renewed interest, with SBI planning a $1 billion XRP purchase. There are also moves towards a potential XRP ETF in the U.S., suggesting mainstream acceptance. XRP faces resistance around $3.10-$3.20 and could see further downside pressure if it fails to recover from its current price below $2.80, potentially dropping to $2.50 or even $2.20. Despite short-term volatility, the long-term outlook is positive due to regulatory clarity and growing institutional adoption.

The Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF) has launched a new token called BETH to create a more transparent record of Ether tokens that are permanently removed from circulation, also known as burning. BETH is created when users send ETH to a burn address, receiving an equivalent amount of BETH in return. This aims to make the burning of ETH more visible and usable in decentralized applications. Ethereum's current system burns a portion of transaction fees, but BETH provides a tangible token representing the burned amount. Since the 2021 London upgrade, 4.6 million ETH have been burned, while over 8 million new tokens were issued. BETH could enable features like burn-based voting and auctions, but users are advised to treat it as a receipt and not an asset with intrinsic value. Developers are exploring ways to build on BETH, potentially creating new industries around proof-of-burn.

XRP has experienced a price decline of over 20% since mid-July. It has approached a critical support level of $2.76, which analysts believe is vital for maintaining a bullish market structure. A break below this level could signal further downward movement. Simultaneously, after previously selling off 470 million XRP tokens, Ripple whales have recently accumulated 340 million XRP tokens in the last two weeks, worth over $950 million. This accumulation is viewed as a potentially positive sign, suggesting a possible price recovery for XRP.

Ethereum is currently trading around $4,464, with a market cap near $536 billion. Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin predicts it could increase 100 times its current value, potentially surpassing Bitcoin. He believes Wall Street's adoption of decentralized technology, including staking and Layer 2 solutions, will drive this growth, as banks like JPMorgan could save money by using Ethereum. Technically, Ethereum is showing signs of strength after bouncing from a support level of around $4,265. There's resistance expected at $4,665 and $4,865, with a potential target of $5,100 if it breaks through. Also, a project called Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is launching a presale, aiming to combine Bitcoin security with Solana's speed for faster transactions and decentralized applications. The presale has already raised over $13 million, with tokens priced at $0.012835.

The article identifies five altcoins that analysts believe have the potential to increase tenfold before the anticipated altcoin season in 2025. These include Ethereum, currently trading near $4,600 with a 37% year-to-date gain, driven by institutional demand; Solana, holding above $200, boasting a DeFi ecosystem exceeding $11.3 billion in total value locked; Cardano, priced under $1, awaiting a potential ETF decision in October; XRP, consolidating between $2.75 and $3.05 with ETF approval anticipated; and MAGACOIN FINANCE, a lesser-known project experiencing community growth and whale accumulation. The author suggests MAGACOIN FINANCE has the highest potential for gains, particularly before major exchange listings. Investors may consider a mix of established altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano and XRP as well as high potential altcoins such as MAGACOIN FINANCE.

Eric Trump, co-founder of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million, citing increased demand from governments and large institutions. His mining company, ABTC, is preparing to become publicly traded through a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining in September. Following the merger announcement, Gryphon's stock has increased significantly. ABTC currently holds 215 BTC, but estimates suggest their reserves could be much larger. However, Bitcoin's price has recently decreased by 13% from its recent high. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has cautioned that Bitcoin reaching $1 million could indicate a collapse of the U.S. economy. Other analysts have expressed concerns about the long-term viability of corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies.

Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg predicts that XRP spot ETFs, if launched, could attract $5 billion in inflows within the first month, potentially surpassing the performance of Ethereum ETFs. He believes XRP's strong recognition among Wall Street investors and the support of the XRP community will drive rapid adoption. The likelihood of an XRP ETF approval in 2025 is estimated to be high, with analysts suggesting an 85% probability. McClurg also suggests other cryptocurrencies like Solana, Litecoin, and HBAR may also receive ETF approval. XRP's focus on payments and cross-border settlements, unlike Ethereum's broader applications, could make it more appealing to traditional financial institutions.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, both popular meme cryptocurrencies, are pursuing different strategies. Dogecoin aims to be a simple payment system with an unlimited coin supply, relying heavily on community support and Elon Musk's influence. Shiba Inu focuses on scarcity through token burning and is developing a broader ecosystem, including Shibarium (a Layer-2 network), ShibaSwap (a decentralized exchange), and metaverse plans. Dogecoin uses its own blockchain while Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum network. Dogecoin adds 5 billion coins annually, whereas Shiba Inu has significantly reduced its initial supply through burns. Dogecoin is developing tools for easy payments, while Shiba Inu is building a comprehensive decentralized platform. Both cryptocurrencies are influenced by large holders of their coins, creating a concentration risk. Dogecoin seeks adoption as a digital currency, while Shiba Inu aims to become a full decentralized ecosystem.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $109,086 with a market capitalization of $2.17 trillion. Social media mentions of "buy the dip" are increasing, which historically suggests further price drops before a bottom is reached. Bitcoin has been in a descending channel since mid-August. Key resistance levels to watch are $111,350, $113,500, and $114,136. Support levels are $107,300, $105,150, and $103,350. A breakout above $111,350 could lead to a rally towards $130,000 in the medium term. Conversely, a breakdown could lead to further declines. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is conducting a presale for its token, which aims to integrate Bitcoin security with Solana's speed and scalability and has already raised over $13 million.

Bitcoin's price faced resistance around $109,500 after a volatile week. It had previously dropped to a seven-week low of $107,200 before bouncing back. Most alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) have declined over the past week, with Ethereum falling below $4,500 and XRP struggling around $2.80. However, CRO significantly increased by 81% due to a major adoption announcement by Trump Media Group, reaching close to $0.30. Other altcoins that showed gains include POL (13%) and Pi Networks PI token (7%). The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has decreased by about $200 billion in the last week, settling at $3.850 trillion.

Ethereum's price increased over 23% in August, breaking a negative trend, but September is historically a weaker month for it. A key indicator, Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL), suggests some holders may sell off profits, potentially causing price volatility. Historically, similar NUPL levels have preceded price drops. Companies buying Ethereum and its use in DeFi could offer support. A strong support zone exists between $4,323 and $4,375, while a significant resistance zone lies between $4,482 and $4,592. Technical charts show a break below an ascending trendline and a bearish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating potentially weaker upward momentum. If the price reclaims $4,579, the target is $4,956. Key support levels to watch are $4,345 and $4,156. Closing under $4,156 could delay a bullish trend. Overcoming the $5,000 mark would be a psychological victory and establish a new support level.

In India, 14 individuals, including 11 current and former police officers and one former legislator, received life sentences for kidnapping and extorting a businessman in 2018 over his cryptocurrency. The victim was forced to transfer 34 Bitcoin, then valued at approximately $150,000. The trial involved 172 witnesses, but many later changed their testimonies. Separately, the victim himself is being investigated for allegedly extorting Bitcoin and cash from BitConnect promoters. In related news, Indian authorities conducted raids concerning a $29 million Bitcoin fraud, where scammers posed as law enforcement or tech support to steal cryptocurrency which was converted to USDT and moved via hawala to the UAE. Additionally, assets worth 42.8 crore were seized in connection with a $4.7 million crypto scam involving a fake Coinbase website.

Solana's staking market capitalization has surpassed Ethereum's, making it the largest blockchain by staked value. Approximately 67-70% of Solana's circulating supply, equating to around 410-420 million SOL tokens, is currently being staked, resulting in a staking market cap of roughly $67-70 billion. This edges out Ethereum, whose staking market cap is around $65-68 billion, with approximately 28-30% of its supply staked. Solana's higher staking yields, ranging from 8.3% to 11.5% APY, are a key factor in its growth and surpassing Ethereum, which offers around 3% APY. Additionally, Solana's open interest has crossed $12 billion, and its Total Value Locked has reached $11.49 billion, indicating increased institutional interest and ecosystem growth.

This week in African crypto news, Mastercard is expanding its partnership with Circle to allow payments using the USDC stablecoin in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe. This will enable Mastercard users in these regions to settle transactions using USDC. In Kenya, InVastor has launched an educational program to teach lawmakers about crypto by giving them small amounts to manage and providing guidance. Kenya's parliament is also considering a Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill. Interpol conducted operations in Zambia and Angola, shutting down a large-scale crypto investment scam in Zambia that defrauded victims of an estimated $300 million, leading to 15 arrests and seizure of domains and bank accounts. Additionally, in Angola, Interpol shut down around 45 illegal crypto mining operations using electricity meant for essential services.

A new cryptocurrency called LayerBrett ($LBRETT) is generating buzz and being compared to past successful meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and PEPE. Analysts are suggesting it has the potential for significant profit, possibly up to 10,000%. Shiba Inu, launched in 2020, experienced massive gains of over 88,000,000% before declining from its peak. Cardano (ADA) also saw substantial growth but is now considered a more stable, long-term investment. LayerBrett aims to combine meme appeal with practical use as a Layer 2 project on Ethereum, offering faster transactions and staking rewards. It is currently in presale, with a $1 million giveaway for early investors.

XRP is currently trading around $2.8 after a recent price increase to $3. Activity in the derivatives market, including futures and options, suggests traders are anticipating another significant price movement. If XRP's price rises above $3, it could potentially reach $3.5. However, if it falls below $2.8, it might drop to $2.5. The price is closely tied to the actions of derivatives traders, whose renewed investment could trigger a sharp price swing in either direction.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $108,700, showing little change recently. However, some indicators suggest a potential market bottom. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), which tracks whether short-term holders are selling at a profit or loss, has dropped, indicating many are selling at a loss, which can signal a market bottom. A similar pattern was observed in April when Bitcoin rebounded after a low SOPR. UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) data shows significant support around $107,000 to $108,200, meaning many Bitcoins were previously bought at these levels, providing price stability. Resistance is building around $113,200 and $114,400, with a major barrier at $116,900. A key level to watch is $107,300; falling below this could indicate further price declines. Overcoming $113,500 is crucial for a potential rebound.

This week in crypto news from Asia, Japan's SBI Group made several partnerships to expand blockchain technology. They are working with Circle and Ripple to increase the use of stablecoins, and with Startale to create a platform for trading tokenized assets. SBI also partnered with Chainlink to build blockchain tools for financial companies, focusing on tokenizing real-world assets and facilitating cross-border payments. In the Philippines, a bill was proposed that would require the central bank to buy 2,000 Bitcoin each year for five years, totaling 10,000 Bitcoin, to be held in reserve for 20 years, with the goal of enhancing national security and debt stability.

Despite increased crypto adoption, particularly given political support, the article suggests gold and Bitcoin serve different hedging purposes and should not be seen as replacements for each other. Gold has historically performed well as a hedge against stock market declines, demonstrated by its positive performance during the 2022 bear market when the S&P 500 fell almost 20% while gold rose approximately 5%. Bitcoin, while struggling during equity downturns, has shown a tendency to act as a counterweight to bond market stress. For example, in 2023, while bond prices declined, Bitcoin held up better than gold. Year-to-date as of August 31, gold was up more than 30%, while Bitcoin gained about 16.46%. The S&P 500 is up roughly 10%. This divergence illustrates how gold has benefited from equity volatility, while Bitcoin has performed steadily amidst fluctuations in the bond market. While Bitcoin's correlation with equities has grown in 2025 due to ETF inflows, and short-term shocks can impact both assets, the core principle remains: gold and Bitcoin offer distinct hedging properties against different market risks.

Ethereum's price is potentially at risk of falling below $4,000 due to significant selling activity by large holders, known as whales. In the past two weeks, these whales have sold over 430,000 ETH, worth approximately $1.8 billion. This contrasts with their accumulation of ETH in July and August. This selling pressure could be compounded if smaller investors follow suit. Ethereum briefly fell to $4,250 before recovering to $4,450, but a further drop to $4,000 is possible. If this support level fails, the next support level is around $3,800. Conversely, one whale has been consistently exchanging Bitcoin for Ethereum, purchasing roughly $3.4 billion worth of ETH while selling off large amounts of Bitcoin.

Pi Network's token, currently trading around $0.385, has seen a slight increase recently after hitting a low of $0.3303 on August 25. However, a large release of approximately 149 million tokens is scheduled for September, which could potentially lower the price. Trading activity has also decreased since mid-May, which could make the price more unstable. Despite these challenges, the token was recently listed on Swapfone and a Pi-linked exchange-traded product (ETP) was launched in Europe by Valour. These new developments, along with protocol upgrades, have boosted confidence in Pi Network. Whether Pi can reach $1 again depends on if positive factors like the ETP and exchange listings can outweigh the negative pressures of the token release and low trading activity.

As Q3 ends, Avalanche is trying to stay above $23, aiming for $28 then $32, but could fall back to between $17 and $22 if it fails to hold. Polkadot is around $3.95, hoping to break $4 for a potential 50% increase, supported by Paraguay's $6 million investment in a blockchain project using Polkadot's framework. Meanwhile, MAGACOIN FINANCE, a new project, is gaining attention with its presale after security audits. Early investors are getting a 50% bonus with code PATRIOT50X, making it a watched altcoin. Traders are interested in MAGACOIN FINANCE because it offers early entry advantages, while Avalanche and Polkadot are moving slower.

Bitcoin is experiencing volatility, struggling to maintain support after dropping below $110,000. Galaxy Digital, an institutional player, sold 1,167 Bitcoin, adding selling pressure to the market. Bitcoin is currently trading around $108,764. Analysts are divided on whether this is a temporary consolidation or the start of a larger correction. Key support levels to watch are around $101,207. A strong recovery above $110,000 is needed to restore confidence, otherwise, Bitcoin could decline towards $100,000.

XRP's price is being closely watched in September to see if it will go up or down. After reaching $3 in August, it's now around $2.80. The total value of XRP futures and options contracts, called open interest, was high during the rally but has since decreased, suggesting some market reset. Institutional investors are still not heavily involved in XRP, unlike Bitcoin, and are waiting for approval of XRP spot ETFs in the U.S. Technical charts show that XRP has decreased about 6.7% over the past week. There is a possible bearish crossover pattern in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), suggesting a potential 25% drop to around $2.17. However, positive news could push XRP back above $3, with a possible target of $3.36.

XRP is struggling to maintain its price above $2.74 due to strong selling pressure in both the spot and futures markets. Data indicates that sellers are dominating, and traders are closing their positions, reflecting a negative outlook. A key level to watch is $2.8; failure to defend this could lead to a drop to $2.4. The $2.74 level is critical, and losing it could trigger further declines. While market leverage has decreased, reducing the risk of mass liquidations, the overall sentiment remains bearish. Holding above $2.74 and $2.60 is essential for XRP to avoid a potentially significant price drop.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a token backed by Donald Trump, is preparing to unlock a significant amount of its tokens on September 1st. Approximately 1.627 billion WLFI tokens, representing 16.27% of the total supply and valued at around $483 million based on a price of $0.297 per token, are locked in a contract. 20% of presale and eligible tokens will be unlocked at 8:00 a.m. ET on September 1, 2025. The remaining 80% will be unlocked based on future community votes. The Lockbox contract, holding these tokens, has been audited by Cyfrin for security. Leading up to the unlock, WLFI's contract price was $0.297, while IOU prices on secondary markets reached $0.56-$0.57.

Analysts are highlighting Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and MAGACOIN FINANCE as potentially strong crypto investments for the fourth quarter of the year. Ethereum is currently trading around $4,600, with predictions it could reach $7,000 by year-end and $10,000 by 2026. Its ecosystem has over $127 billion locked in DeFi and over $143 billion in stablecoins, with nearly 29% of the total supply staked. XRP's price is holding near $2.90, and its use in global payments is increasing, with analysts suggesting a breakout above $3.65 is needed for further gains. MAGACOIN FINANCE, a new presale token, is also gaining attention, experiencing rapid sell-outs and community growth.

Ethereum's price is currently around $4,200, after failing to break its all-time high of about $4,900. Despite the price pullback, activity on the Ethereum network is strong, with record volumes on decentralized exchanges, total asset value locked, and transaction numbers in August. A large investor, referred to as a whale, has moved over $4.5 billion into Ethereum. The price may either go up to between $4,800 and $5,000, which could trigger a rally, or down to between $3,800 and $4,200, potentially causing a correction. The direction Ethereum takes depends on whether buyers defend the $4,200 level.

An Indian court sentenced 14 people, including a former police superintendent, to life in prison for a Bitcoin extortion case that began in 2018. The group was found guilty of kidnapping a businessman and extorting Bitcoin from him. The businessman, Shailesh Bhatt, had recovered 752 Bitcoin from a failed business called BitConnect. The accused, including police officials, kidnapped Bhatt and forced him to transfer 34 Bitcoins, worth 1.32 crore ($149,700), and agree to transfer 176 BTC and 32 crore ($3.63 million). Bhatt later filed a complaint, leading to arrests and a trial where 14 of 15 defendants were found guilty. The court also ordered fines and the surrender of gold ornaments seized from the ex-police superintendent. Bhatt himself is also under investigation for allegedly extorting Bitcoin from BitConnect promoters.

Bitcoin's price recently reached $124,050 on July 14th, before settling around $109,124. Despite this pullback, some experts predict Bitcoin could reach $5 million or even $10 million. However, many remain skeptical, believing it can't go any higher. One commentator suggests this skepticism is due to people not yet seeing Bitcoin's practical applications in everyday life. He argues that adoption will increase when Bitcoin is integrated into common financial activities, such as using it to refinance a home. A recent survey showed that over 40% of people haven't used crypto because they don't understand how it works, highlighting a gap between market activity and general understanding. Historically, critics have doubted Bitcoin at every high and during every price drop, but these views have often changed as the market recovered.

Dogecoin's price has rebounded after hitting a support level of $0.21, with trading volume increasing by 45% to $2.58 billion. This increase coincides with news of a proposed $200 million Dogecoin Treasury plan, spearheaded by Alex Spiro, Elon Musk's lawyer, and managed by the House of Doge. The plan aims to provide Dogecoin with a more stable financial structure, potentially attracting traditional investors. Dogecoin is currently consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern between $0.21 and $0.28, and analysts predict a potential 30% breakout. The treasury plan is seen as a critical development for Dogecoin, potentially shaping its future as a more structured project with enhanced credibility and broader adoption.

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg predicts that an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) could be approved in the United States as early as 2025. This expectation is fueled by the SEC's review of generic listing standards, which could simplify the approval process for crypto ETFs, particularly for coins with futures listed on major exchanges. McClurg also suggests that Litecoin, HBAR, and Solana are potential candidates for ETF approval in 2025. Approval of an XRP ETF would allow traditional investors to invest in XRP without directly holding the cryptocurrency, potentially attracting significant institutional investment. The focus is shifting towards American-made crypto, with projects relocating treasuries back to the US, potentially benefiting from tax advantages and a favorable regulatory environment.

Dogecoin experienced a 5% price decrease, falling from $0.22 to $0.21, mirroring a broader market downturn. A large transfer of 900 million DOGE to Binance wallets sparked concerns about potential selling. Despite this, on-chain data indicates that larger investors accumulated 680 million DOGE in August. Dogecoin's network security remains strong, with its hashrate at record levels. The price is currently consolidating between $0.21 and $0.23. Traders are closely watching if the $0.21 support level will hold, as a break below it could lead to further price drops. A move above $0.23 might signal a potential rise toward $0.25 or $0.30. The trend in futures open interest is also being monitored for indications of leveraged trading demand.

XRP's price decreased by 4.3% to $2.89. However, Korean exchanges purchased $45.5 million worth of XRP during the price drop, suggesting strong buying interest from that region. XRP Ledger activity increased, with active addresses rising by 20% before the September 12 Decentralized Media launch. Linklogis, a Chinese fintech company, integrated its supply-chain platform with XRP Ledger. The price faces resistance around $2.91 and $3.02, with support at $2.77 and $2.85-$2.86. Traders are watching if the $2.85-$2.86 support level holds and if the price can break above $3.02-$3.04.

The cryptocurrency PENGU is generating excitement due to the launch of the Pudgy Party mobile game on iOS and Android. Analysts have observed a chart pattern suggesting a potential price increase for PENGU. The official Ethereum account publicly acknowledged Pudgy Penguins, which is an uncommon occurrence and has boosted the project's credibility. The Pudgy Party game is designed to appeal to a large audience of mobile gamers worldwide and features unlockable items and collaborations with other brands. The developers are planning live tournaments and events to further promote the game and token. Early adopters have been rewarded, and giveaways of PENGU tokens and in-game items are underway.

John E. Deaton, a lawyer and former US Senate candidate, predicts that XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) will attract significant investment once approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The number of applications for XRP ETFs is growing, including one new filing from Amplify ETFs for an XRP Monthly Option Income ETF, which aims to generate monthly income for investors. The SEC has yet to approve any XRP ETFs and continues to delay decisions. There's anticipation that the SEC might make a decision in October, following a request for comments from issuers. Deaton's prediction suggests he believes the inflows will be positive, given his past support for XRP. Currently, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only cryptocurrencies with approved spot ETFs. There is optimism about XRP ETF approval by the end of the year.

Ethereum (ETH) and XRP continue to dominate crypto news. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has more than doubled since April 2025, reaching over $5,000 before settling around $4,550-$4,600. Analysts predict it could reach $6,000 by year-end, driven by institutional investment and DeFi activity. XRP faces resistance around $3.65 with support near $2.70, with its price movement tied to regulation and ETF possibilities. A potential rebound could see it climb back to $3-$5. Meanwhile, MAGACOIN FINANCE, a new presale token, is gaining attention. It has completed audits, has a roadmap, and has analysts forecasting up to 1,400% ROI in 2025.

Bitcoin advisor Luke Broyles believes skepticism towards Bitcoin will persist even if its price reaches $5 million to $10 million. He argues the main obstacle isn't technical but psychological, requiring people to see how Bitcoin improves their daily lives. Broyles suggests integrating Bitcoin with real estate, like home refinancing and equity loans, could accelerate adoption faster than encouraging small, recurring investments. A recent survey indicated that 43% of people haven't used crypto due to a lack of understanding. Broyles believes this lack of understanding and resulting skepticism could mean Bitcoin's rise will continue for decades before it's fully accepted.

An Indian court sentenced 14 people, including a former politician and 11 police officers, to life in prison for their involvement in a 2018 Bitcoin extortion case. Businessman Shailesh Bhatt was kidnapped and forced to hand over hundreds of Bitcoin and $3.6 million in cash. The former politician, Nalin Kotadiya, and police superintendent, Jagdish Patel, were found guilty of orchestrating the crime. The case is linked to the collapse of BitConnect, a crypto platform, and highlights the role of cryptocurrency in fueling corruption. Bhatt was targeted after recovering Bitcoin tied to BitConnect. The court also ordered the confiscated gold linked to the case to be handed over to the Mumbai Mint. This case is being seen as a landmark in India's fight against crypto-related crimes.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) saw massive gains in 2021, increasing in value by 45,000,000% in under a year, but experts now believe it's unlikely to repeat that performance due to its large market capitalization. They suggest that a new meme coin called Layer Brett (LBRETT), currently priced at $0.005 in presale having already raised $1.8 million, could potentially dominate in 2025. Layer Brett is built on the Ethereum Layer 2 network, which benefits from institutional investment in Ethereum. It combines meme appeal with real-world utility, including staking rewards and community-driven growth. Investors are reportedly shifting away from SHIB to new coins like Layer Brett, seeking larger potential gains. Layer Brett aims to recreate a parabolic run in 2025, offering a low-cap entry point with Ethereum adjacency and meme-fueled appeal.

Bitcoin's market has entered a consolidation phase after previously reaching all-time highs. Its cycle and volatility-adjusted MVRV is at 39%, indicating a neutral balance between risk and reward, suggesting neither extreme bullishness nor bearishness. A break below the $105,000 support level could lead to a deeper price correction, while reclaiming the $112,000-$115,000 range is needed for an upward trend. Bitcoin is currently trading around $108,845, showing signs of weakness. Resistance is capping upside potential and moving averages indicate continuing downward momentum.

Cryptocurrency investors are watching XRP, Cardano, and MAGACOIN FINANCE closely. XRP's price is $2.90, its market value is $172.5 billion, and it has increased by 5.5% in the last 24 hours due to increased buying activity. Analysts believe it could reach $3.65 in the fourth quarter of 2025. Cardano (ADA) is priced at $0.8771 with a market value of $31.3 billion and analysts are expecting it to rise to $1.60 - $1.75. MAGACOIN FINANCE is a new project raising money through a presale, generating excitement, and has passed smart contract tests. These three cryptocurrencies represent different investment opportunities: XRP for institutional stability, Cardano for technical growth, and MAGACOIN FINANCE for high-risk, high-reward potential.

According to Canary CEO, XRP is the most well-known cryptocurrency on Wall Street after Bitcoin. This suggests XRP has a higher level of recognition among financial professionals compared to other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin.

A new $200 million public company, with ties to Elon Musk's attorney, is being created to hold Dogecoin as a corporate asset, potentially signaling a shift towards institutional investment in the meme coin. Other companies, like Neptune Digital Assets and Bit Origin Ltd., have also invested in Dogecoin, indicating a growing trend of Dogecoin treasuries. Recently, a large Dogecoin whale moved 900 million DOGE to Binance, impacting its short-term price, though overall accumulation by large holders remained strong during the month. Nasdaq has filed to list a Dogecoin ETF, awaiting approval, which could offer regulated exposure to the crypto. 184 public companies announced crypto purchases in 2025 totaling $132 billion, with interest expanding to altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including XRP. Investors should keep an eye on treasury allocations, on-chain activity, and developments around Dogecoin ETFs.

Despite positive news, Ethereum's price experienced a slight decrease, dropping 4.63% to $4,303. This dip occurred even with Ethereum spot ETFs attracting $4 billion in investments during August, which included a $300 million investment from BlackRock. Additionally, the Ethereum network saw record on-chain activity, with decentralized exchange volumes reaching $135 billion, 48 million payments processed, and $240 billion locked in decentralized finance protocols. The price decrease appears to be driven by short-term selling pressure, while the long-term outlook for Ethereum remains positive due to growing institutional investment and strong network usage.

Analysts suggest Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is a promising long-term crypto investment, comparing it to early Bitcoin. MUTM is currently priced at $0.035 in Phase 6 of its presale. The project is developing a lending and borrowing protocol with P2C and P2P pools, using protocol revenue to buy back MUTM tokens and reward stakers, aiming to drive long-term demand and price appreciation. The presale has already generated $15.14 million with over 15,850 holders, and Phase 6 is 30% sold out, out of 170 million tokens allocated to it. Mutuum Finance has undergone a CertiK audit, achieving high scores for security. Their roadmap includes a beta release after the presale, Layer-2 scaling, buybacks, staking, and Tier-1 exchange listings. They are also running a $50,000 USDT CertiK bug bounty program and a $100,000 giveaway campaign. Phase 7 will increase the token price to $0.040.

Analysts are suggesting that Aptos and Arbitrum, both currently priced under $5, have the potential to increase twentyfold in value. Aptos is gaining traction through stablecoin partnerships and rapid adoption, with over 500,000 new accounts added this year and millions of transactions processed via Japan's EXPO2025 digital wallet. Aptos has partnerships with Bitso for cross-border stablecoin payments in Latin America and Wyoming for its FRNT stablecoin. Arbitrum is leading Ethereum's Layer-2 scaling efforts, enhancing its ecosystem with integrations and governance upgrades. Transaction revenues are supporting the DAO treasury. MAGACOIN FINANCE is also attracting investor attention, experiencing a surge in transaction volume and watchlist additions. Analysts are mentioning MAGACOIN FINANCE as a project that could deliver a 20x return for early investors. Traders are flagging Aptos and Arbitrum, along with MAGACOIN FINANCE, as possible long-term opportunities.

Analysts are suggesting that Layer Brett (LBRETT), a new Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin currently in presale, could potentially outperform established cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and XRP, with projected gains of 125x. The reasoning is that SOL and XRP, while established, have already reached high valuations, making substantial percentage gains less likely. Layer Brett aims to address Ethereum's high transaction fees and slow speeds by operating on Layer 2, offering faster and cheaper transactions. Early investors can stake their tokens with high APYs. Layer Brett is presented as a combination of meme appeal and real blockchain utility, with a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, and is currently priced at $0.005 during the presale.

Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg predicts that XRP ETFs could attract $5 billion in investments during their first month of trading. This would be more successful than the initial launches of both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Ethereum ETFs have experienced outflows of $483 million. McClurg believes XRP's real-world use in international payments gives it an advantage with institutions. Analysts estimate that if an XRP ETF is approved and attracts significant investment, the price of XRP could rise to $26, increasing its market value to approximately $1.36 trillion. The likelihood of XRP ETF approval in 2025 has risen slightly to 87%.

A class-action lawsuit against Strategy, a company holding a large Bitcoin treasury, was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. The lawsuit alleged that Strategy made misleading statements about its Bitcoin holdings' profitability and risks. Despite this legal win, Strategy's stock (MSTR) remained nearly flat, only dipping slightly. The stock's performance is closely tied to Bitcoin's price, with Strategy holding over 632,457 BTC worth about $68.4 billion. Bitcoin experienced a minor pullback on the day of the dismissal, trading around $109,400. While the stock has risen over 150% in the past year with Bitcoin's bullish trend, traders seem to be waiting for new catalysts to drive further price action. Despite strong institutional interest in Bitcoin, MSTR's flat performance suggests investor caution or uncertainty. The muted response to the lawsuit dismissal could be because the company's stock remains vulnerable to Bitcoin's volatility and investors are awaiting further news like additional Bitcoin acquisitions or regulatory breakthroughs.

Japanese nail salon company Convano plans to invest approximately $3 billion to acquire 21,000 Bitcoin, representing 0.1% of the total Bitcoin supply. Convano has already purchased 365 Bitcoin after raising funds through corporate bonds, with targets to reach 2,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 10,000 BTC by August 2026, and the full 21,000 BTC by March 2027. The company's stock has increased significantly since the announcement, over 220% in the past month and 1,414% since the start of the year. Convano cites the weakening yen and geopolitical risks as reasons for the Bitcoin investment, viewing it as a long-term store of value. Experts have raised concerns about the sustainability of such treasury strategies. Other Japanese companies, such as Metaplanet, are also accumulating Bitcoin, with seven publicly listed Japanese firms now among the 100 largest Bitcoin-holding companies globally.

Solana (SOL) is facing resistance around the $210-$220 price range as investors are taking profits. As SOL climbed above $210, investors cashed out nearly $1 billion in gains, creating a supply barrier that makes it difficult for the price to increase further. While Solana has been relatively strong compared to other altcoins, this profit-taking suggests caution among investors about current valuations. Solana is currently trading near $201, consolidating below the resistance zone, but remains above its short and mid-term moving averages, indicating underlying strength. A break above $220 could lead to further gains, while a drop below $190 might trigger a larger price decrease towards $170.

TikTok has temporarily suspended its LIVE feature in Indonesia due to ongoing protests and unrest across the country. This decision was made by TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to protect users and prevent the spread of harmful content like misinformation and incitement to violence. The Indonesian government has pressured TikTok and other social media companies like Meta to take stricter measures against misinformation, threatening fines or suspension if they fail to comply. Indonesia is a major market for TikTok with over 100 million registered accounts, and the company plans to re-evaluate the situation and reinstate the LIVE feature when the security situation improves. The protests were triggered by public anger over lawmakers' increased allowances and a fatal incident involving a police vehicle, leading to widespread demonstrations and some instances of looting.

Ripple has launched an interactive demo of its payments platform featuring its new stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), to showcase its ability to facilitate faster and cheaper international money transfers. The platform uses XRP as a bridge between currencies, aiming to improve upon traditional systems like SWIFT. This demonstration is intended to build trust with institutions and corporations, highlighting features like transaction tracking, real-time reporting, and currency conversion. The demo allows users to convert RLUSD to local currencies and settle payments in over 50 countries, targeting companies involved in cross-border trade. Ripple aims to compete with other blockchain payment solutions from companies like Circle and Stripe. RLUSD, recently launched in Japan after a $24 million mint, has been added to Aaves Horizon RWA Market, expanding its reach into decentralized finance.

ApeCoin is launching Project R.A.I.D (Rapid ApeCoin Integration Deployment) to transform itself from a governance token into a widely used "culture coin." The project aims to increase ApeCoin's accessibility and utility across various cryptocurrency platforms. This involves launching on multiple blockchains, including Solana as the initial rollout, and integrating with both centralized and decentralized exchanges, including easy options to buy ApeCoin with regular money. The plan also focuses on increasing ApeCoin's use in decentralized finance (DeFi) by incorporating it into lending, staking, and trading platforms. The goal is to make ApeCoin the primary currency for various online environments and push it into the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market value, enhancing its role within the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem.

Bitcoin's recent daily close has triggered a cautious outlook, according to Cryptowzrd, as it closed bearish. A break below the $110,500 support level could signal a shift in momentum, potentially leading to further declines. Bitcoin is trading below this support, and failure to reclaim it could open the door to a move towards $100,000. Bitcoin Dominance is also displaying weakness, which can be a positive sign for altcoins. Intraday trading shows high volatility, with $110,400 acting as a critical support level. Failing to reclaim this level could turn it into resistance, potentially triggering further downside. As the market enters a period of increased volatility, caution and measured strategies are recommended.

A new cryptocurrency called Layer Brett (LBRETT) is gaining attention, contrasting with established cryptocurrencies Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE). Layer Brett operates on the Ethereum Layer 2 network, offering faster and cheaper transactions, and it's currently in presale at $0.005. The project provides staking rewards to early investors, unlike Cardano and Dogecoin, which have struggled to deliver significant price action or offer staking. Layer Brett aims to combine meme appeal with blockchain scaling and utility. Investors can participate in the Layer Brett ecosystem by connecting wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet and using ETH, USDT, or BNB to purchase and stake the tokens. The project emphasizes early participation in its presale, highlighting the potential for growth compared to Cardano and Dogecoin.

XRP's price is currently stable around $2.83 after facing resistance near $3.10. An investment firm, Amplify, has applied to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), which, if approved by the SEC, would allow institutions to invest in XRP without directly holding the cryptocurrency. Polymarket estimates an 87% chance of SEC approval in 2025. The cryptocurrency community is divided, with some seeing XRP as a key player in future finance and others dismissing high price predictions. Traders are watching the $2.83 support and $3.10 resistance levels for indications of future price movement. The ETF application is a potential factor that could influence XRP's price depending on the SEC's decision.

Ethereum's price has recently reached all-time highs, attracting both institutional and retail investors. However, selling pressure is increasing, raising concerns about potential price drops. Despite these concerns, a major investor, who initially held nearly $6 billion in Bitcoin, has purchased over $434 million worth of Ethereum, adding to their total Ethereum holdings of over $3 billion, and staking a large portion of it. This whale's activity highlights a trend of capital moving from Bitcoin to Ethereum. Ethereum's price is currently around $4,369, testing a key support level. A break below $4,350 could lead to a further decline, while renewed buying pressure is needed to retest the highs above $4,800.

A new company called House of Doge, supported by Elon Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro, is planning to launch a Dogecoin treasury. The goal is to allow traditional investors to gain exposure to Dogecoin through stock market investments, without needing to directly own the cryptocurrency. House of Doge has already purchased 10 million DOGE for payment experiments. Other companies like Neptune Digital Assets (which acquired 1,000,000 DOGE at $0.37 each via derivatives) and Bit Origin (secured up to $500 million to build a DOGE treasury and has already acquired ~40.5M DOGE at an average of ~$0.2466) have also been accumulating Dogecoin for their treasuries. The plan is similar to how Bitcoin treasuries work, but using Dogecoin instead. Investors would buy shares in the company holding Dogecoin, not the Dogecoin itself. This approach aims to make Dogecoin more accessible to institutional investors who want exposure to the cryptocurrency market but are hesitant about self-custodying crypto.

New homes in the US are getting smaller, averaging 2,404 square feet, a 12% decrease in size over the last decade. At the same time, the median price of a new home has increased to $403,800, with the cost per square foot jumping to $168. This makes homeownership less affordable, as only 28% of homes are affordable for median-income households. Rising mortgage rates, now around 6.75% for a 30-year fixed mortgage, have significantly reduced buying power. With the average listing price reaching $439,450, a down payment of over $120,000 is typically needed. As a result, homebuying activity is at its lowest level since the mid-1990s, with many buyers either giving up on buying or settling for smaller homes. Several major cities, including Milwaukee, Houston, Baltimore, New York, and Kansas City, have experienced sharp drops in affordability.

The TON blockchain experienced rapid user growth in 2024 due to viral tap-to-earn games on Telegram, increasing daily active wallets significantly. While initial growth was driven by speculative interest, the ecosystem has since matured, with the number of DeFi protocols increasing substantially. The total value locked (TVL) in TON's DeFi sector peaked at $1.1 billion but has since decreased to around $400 million, indicating a shift from short-term incentives to more sustainable financial infrastructure. TON's architecture, designed for scalability, presents development complexities but promises long-term efficiency. Institutional investment from firms like Sequoia Capital and Zodia Custody signals confidence in TON's potential. The future of TON hinges on expanding beyond entertainment and delivering accessible financial services integrated into Telegram, such as payments, everyday utility, and lending solutions.

Analysts have identified Ethereum, XRP, and Chainlink as leading altcoins expected to experience growth by Q4 2025. Ethereum's strength lies in its large market presence and adoption in DeFi, NFTs, and tokenization, with price predictions ranging from $6,000 to $15,000. XRP is anticipated to benefit from potential spot ETF approvals and expansion of Ripple's payment network, potentially reaching $5 to $10. Chainlink's partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce to provide economic data on blockchains is seen as a key factor for its growth. In addition to these established coins, MAGACOIN FINANCE is also highlighted as a promising project with real utility, offering early investors a 50% bonus using the code PATRIOT50X.

Analysts are predicting a potential surge in Cardano's price, with one suggesting it could rise by 300% to $4 by the end of the year. This prediction is based on technical analysis, including Elliott Wave patterns and Fibonacci Extension levels. Another analyst points to a rise in Google searches for Cardano, matching levels seen in January 2021 before a significant price increase. This renewed interest, combined with potential macroeconomic shifts like a weakening US dollar and easing interest rates, fuels the optimistic outlook. However, some critics remain skeptical, citing Cardano's past performance and development progress not aligning with price gains. The cryptocurrency is currently trading around $0.80.

A market pundit is suggesting that the recent price drop in Ripple's XRP cryptocurrency could be a setup for a significant price increase. The pundit predicts a potential rise of 857%, which would bring the value of XRP to $28. This prediction is based on their interpretation of current market conditions, suggesting the current downturn is temporary before a major upward swing.

This article provides a price prediction for the cryptocurrency HEX from 2025 to 2031. It anticipates HEX reaching $0.00398 by the end of 2025, potentially climbing to $0.00830 by 2028, and possibly reaching $0.0190 by 2031. The analysis considers HEX's unique staking mechanism, which incentivizes long-term holding. Recent technical analysis shows a bearish sentiment, with HEX's price declining since early August. However, there are signs of slowing downward momentum. HEX is currently trading around $0.008683. Past performance shows significant volatility, including a surge in May 2021 followed by declines, especially after the SEC's lawsuit against the founder, Richard Heart, for alleged misappropriation of funds. Despite this, HEX has shown resilience with periods of stability and recovery. Predictions from various sources estimate HEX could reach different price points in the coming years, influenced by factors like adoption rates and overall market conditions. Recent news mentions that Richard Heart was issued a Red Notice by Interpol.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) is showing signs of a potential price increase, with analysts pointing to a bullish 'cup and handle' pattern on its price chart. The cryptocurrency has found support around $0.03, and a breakthrough above $0.037 could lead to a rise towards $0.045. Analyst Whale.Guru suggests a potential market cap target of $6 billion in 2025. Supporting this potential growth is the launch of the Pudgy Party mobile game. However, failure to surpass resistance levels could result in price pullbacks.

Analysts predict Ethereum (ETH) could reach $6,000 next month due to increased institutional investment. Simultaneously, a new Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin called Layer Brett (LBRETT) is gaining attention. Currently in presale at $0.005, some analysts believe LBRETT has the potential for significant growth in 2025. LBRETT aims to address Ethereum's high gas fees and congestion by offering faster, cheaper transactions on its Layer 2 network. Early investors in LBRETT can stake their tokens for high Annual Percentage Yields (APY). LBRETT differentiates itself from other meme coins by combining meme culture with blockchain utility, including gamified staking and NFT integrations. Unlike the original Brett token, LBRETT focuses on building a scalable ecosystem and interoperability.

The S&P 500 to Commodity Index ratio has reached an all-time high, tripling since 2022 as U.S. stocks have increased by 71% while the Commodity Price Index has fallen by 31%. Wells Fargo Investment Institute is advising investors to reduce their equity allocations due to expected market volatility, suggesting a shift from small-cap stocks into quality bonds. They recommend maintaining a 60% stock and 40% fixed income structure, while adjusting the mix within each. They advise overweighting information technology and financials while taking profits from communication services and small-cap stocks. Concerns are also raised about potential pressure on the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, potentially leading to long-term inflation. For bond investments, they suggest focusing on intermediate-term, high-quality assets like investment-grade corporates and municipal bonds.

Binance Coin (BNB) is currently trading around $860, showing resilience despite a recent 1.64% dip. Analysts are closely watching the $840-$850 range as a key support area, particularly the $845 level. Holding above this support is considered crucial for maintaining upward momentum. Trading volume is steady at $1.52 billion, and the market capitalization is approximately $120 billion, indicating continued investor interest. If BNB can hold above $845, analysts anticipate a potential move towards $900 and eventually the $1,000 mark. The long-term bullish trendline, which has provided support for the past three months, remains intact, suggesting a constructive outlook as long as this trendline holds. Investors are monitoring for a breakout above recent highs or a break below $850 to determine the next direction.

The cryptocurrency market capitalization has reached $2.2 trillion, suggesting a significant influx of investment is anticipated for Bitcoin. This increase in market cap is interpreted as a signal that substantial capital could soon flow into Bitcoin.

Pump.fun, a platform for creating memecoins on Solana, has spent $62 million buying back its PUMP tokens to stabilize the price. They've bought over 16.5 billion tokens at an average price of about $0.003785 each. This is funded by fees from users who launch memecoins on the platform, with 30% of platform revenue going towards these buybacks. 60% of the repurchased tokens are burned and the rest are used for staking rewards. Despite this, Pump.fun's revenue has dropped significantly, raising questions about the sustainability of the buyback program. The company also faces a class-action lawsuit accusing it of operating like an unlicensed casino. To combat this, Pump.fun is trying to diversify its revenue streams with a decentralized exchange called PumpSwap and plans to build a decentralized social network.

Uniswap is showing signs of a potential price increase, aiming to retest the $12 level. The cryptocurrency's price has been consolidating below $12, but a rise in global liquidity, currently approaching $40,000, typically benefits assets like Uniswap. Historically, increased liquidity has fueled the growth of DeFi tokens such as Uniswap. Recent market data indicates Uniswap traded between $9.40 and $9.80 with a trading volume around $341 million. The cryptocurrency's market capitalization is $5.88 billion, ranking it 34th globally. Technical indicators show a slight pullback from a recent high of $12.30, now consolidating around $9.75. However, overall technical analysis suggests underlying strength, and a renewed attempt to reach the $12 resistance level is anticipated.

Cardano has upgraded its Developer Portal with new tools and guides to attract developers, particularly those familiar with Ethereum. The updated portal provides resources for building on Cardano, including support for migrating Ethereum-based projects. Input Output, Cardano's research and development unit, has also made progress on improving the network's speed, scalability, and ability to connect with other blockchains like Bitcoin. These upgrades are aimed at making Cardano easier to use and more adaptable for larger projects. Although the price of ADA, Cardano's cryptocurrency, initially fell slightly after the announcements, the long-term impact will depend on how many developers and projects adopt the new tools and improvements, as well as overall market conditions.

Grayscale now estimates there is an 87% chance that its application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a Bitcoin ETF will be approved. Separately, the article discusses the potential for Cardano's price to increase by 120%.

Binance's August 2025 report indicates the cryptocurrency market continues its strong performance, with total market capitalization increasing by 9.9% since January, adding over $600 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum are driving this growth, with Ether rising approximately 36% and Bitcoin nearly 18%. This momentum is partially fueled by U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have attracted over $28 billion in net inflows. Bitcoin dominance reached 65.1% before settling at 57.2%, signaling a shift towards alternative assets. Ethereum staking has reached 35.8 million ETH, creating a potential liquidity squeeze. Stablecoin supply has expanded by 35% to $277.8 billion, reflecting broader adoption. Institutional participation has also grown, with public companies holding 1.07 million BTC, and ETH corporate treasuries jumping 88.3% to 4.36 million ETH. Decentralized exchanges now capture 23.1% of spot activity and 9.3% of futures volumes, while DeFi lending has increased significantly. Tokenized equities have reached $349 million, with daily volumes around $145 million.

Cardano's price is currently around $0.83, and analysts are watching to see if it can break above $0.90, which could lead to a price of $1.00. Grayscale has filed with the SEC for a Cardano ETF with the ticker GADA, which could bring more institutional investment to Cardano. The ETF might even include staking in the future. Cardano is currently testing a long-term support level between $0.82 and $0.85, which has historically been a good buying opportunity. The RSI indicator suggests that there is room for the price to move higher if buyers step in. If Cardano can hold the $0.80 to $0.82 level and break above $0.90, some analysts believe it could reach $1.80.

El Salvador has moved its Bitcoin holdings, worth approximately $678 million, into 14 separate wallets to protect against potential future threats from quantum computing. This action involves splitting 6,274 Bitcoin, previously held in a single address, into multiple new addresses each holding up to 500 BTC. The move aims to mitigate the risk of quantum computers one day being able to crack the cryptography that secures Bitcoin, potentially exposing the public keys associated with spent Bitcoin addresses. By spreading the funds, El Salvador limits the maximum amount of Bitcoin that could be compromised if a single wallet's key is ever exposed. Experts currently consider the quantum threat to Bitcoin to be theoretical, but this action represents a proactive measure for securing the country's Bitcoin reserve.

Crypto analyst Alex Krger suggests that the current bearish state of the crypto market, specifically for Bitcoin and Ether, might signal an upcoming bullish reversal. According to Krger, heavy liquidations and a reset in leverage, particularly in Bitcoin and Ether markets, indicate that panic selling may be ending. While Bitcoin and Ether have experienced significant selling pressure, some altcoins have shown resilience. Derivatives charts reveal that traders are heavily defensive, with put options being more expensive than call options, signaling heightened fear. Krger anticipates potential market trends following the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, expecting a possible interest rate cut that isn't fully priced in, which could boost crypto demand. Despite potential short-term price declines, Krger does not believe this is the end of the cycle, advising that betting on upside is best done during peak panic.

Convano, a Japanese nail salon operator, is planning to invest approximately $3 billion to purchase 21,000 Bitcoin, aiming to become a major corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The company intends to acquire 2,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and reach 10,000 BTC by August 2026, with the full 21,000 BTC targeted for March 2027. Convano cites the declining yen and geopolitical risks as reasons for its Bitcoin strategy. The company has already acquired 365 Bitcoin using funds from corporate bonds. The announcement has significantly boosted Convano's stock price. However, some experts warn that Bitcoin treasury strategies adopted by public companies are risky and could erode shareholder value if stock prices decline relative to the value of their Bitcoin holdings.
