$BTC The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to work on new rules that could directly impact the digital asset market amid ongoing uncertainty in Congress regarding cryptocurrency regulations. According to Bloomberg, the SEC is preparing to announce significant cryptocurrency regulatory plans following the Senate’s delay of the CLARITY Act’s legislative process until at least September.
According to the SEC’s official calendar, the agency will hold an open meeting on August 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET (5:00 PM). The meeting will consider whether to propose new rules for creating an issuance regime specifically designed for investment contracts involving certain crypto assets.
The dip below $1 has brought buyers in, but the market is split on whether this is a true rebound or a pause before more downside.
Here is the breakdown:
· 🐋 Bullish Signs (Buyers are here): · ✅Whale Accumulation: Large holders added ~380 million XRP (~$400M) in a week, with buying concentrated near $1, reducing supply.
✅Ecosystem Growth: Stablecoin market cap on XRPL jumped +12% in 24 hours, and major firms are tokenizing funds, increasing network utility.
✅Technical Signal: The monthly TD Sequential indicator flashed a buy signal—historically a precursor to major rallies.
· 📉 Bearish Risks (The hurdles ahead): ✅Key Resistance: Bulls must reclaim the $1.02 – $1.06 range (especially $1.06) to confirm a reversal. ~3 billion XRP was traded there, acting as a ceiling.
✅ Derivatives Data: The long-to-short ratio is 0.94 (below 1 signals bearish sentiment), and negative funding rates show shorts are paying longs.
✅Weak Technicals: Price sits below all major EMAs ($1.09, $1.17, $1.37), and the RSI at ~36 shows weak demand.
· ⚖️ The Verdict: If the $1.06 resistance flips to support, targets are **$1.35** then **$1.64**. If $1.00 fails decisively, the next support shelves are $0.95**, **$0.90, or even $0.80**–**$0.86.
$BTC Bitcoin drifted toward $64,000 on Tuesday, failing for the fourth time to hold above $65,000. Ether weakened more sharply, dropping nearly 2% to ~$1,880. Markets are in a holding pattern, with all eyes locked on Wednesday's U.S. inflation report—the first major CPI release since last week's surprise payrolls contraction shook rate-cut expectations.$VELVET
The Pivot That jobs shock slashed September rate-hike odds from ~80% to ~44% in late July, resetting the macro narrative. Now, Wednesday's consumer price data becomes the key trigger: it will either reinforce the dovish pivot or reverse it, likely dictating Bitcoin's next breakout or breakdown. Until then, traders are sidelined, watching for fresh direction.
$VELVET The White House says it remains committed to passing the CLARITY Act in September and will continue negotiating with Democrats until the expected Senate vote. $RAD
A mid-September cloture vote would require 60 senators, making bipartisan support essential before the bill can advance toward a final decision.
Unresolved disputes include Democratic demands for stricter ethics rules around Trump-linked crypto interests and banking-industry concerns over provisions that could allow stablecoin reward payments.
$SOL STONK, a stock-market-themed meme coin on Solana, surged over 60% in 24 hours. The spike is backed by a sharp rise in DEX trading volume and significant liquidity inflows, pointing to a broad sentiment shift rather than isolated trades.
Macro Drivers The rebound is fueled by improved risk appetite after Bitcoin and Ethereum stabilized, prompting traders to rotate capital into speculative assets. Solana’s low fees and high speed remain key advantages for meme-coin activity.
Ecosystem Dynamics Renewed interest highlights Solana’s role as a hub for community-driven tokens, attracting both retail investors and trading bots. While volatility persists, the current momentum reflects growing confidence in the ecosystem’s speculative energy.
A short squeeze happens when a heavily shorted stock's price jumps sharply, forcing traders who bet against it (shorts) to buy shares to limit losses. This buying frenzy pushes the price even higher.
Here’s the cycle:
1. Borrow & Sell – Short-sellers borrow shares and sell them high, betting the price will drop. 2. Price Rises – The stock goes up instead (due to good news or a sudden rally). 3. Losses Mount – Short-sellers face unlimited losses and get margin calls from their brokers. 4. Forced Buyback – They must buy back shares at the new, higher price to close their positions. 5. Feedback Loop – That rush of buying drives the price up further, squeezing out more short-sellers.
Classic example: GameStop (2021), where retail traders pushed the price up, forcing hedge funds to cover billions in short positions.
TUT surged to an all‑time high of $0.29 after its perpetual contract went live on August 6. Leverage amplified the move, triggering a short squeeze as forced buybacks pushed prices higher. Hype around the "AI + Education" narrative and a token burn announcement added fuel, turning a low‑cap token into the market's hottest speculative play overnight.
: The Wreckage (-45%)
The crash was just as violent. Whales took profits at the peak, triggering a cascade of long liquidations that erased over $42 million in 24 hours. TUT became the most‑liquidated asset across exchanges. Underlying risks – 99% supply held by top 100 wallets and 20% of supply moving between exchanges – exposed the token as highly manipulative, turning leverage from a weapon into a trap.
Bottom line: A textbook leveraged pump‑and‑dump. Support at $0.08–0.10 is critical – losing that could mean more pain.
$SOL SkyAI sold 135,399 Solana ($SOL ) for $12.47 million in H1 2026, per an SEC filing. The firm plans ongoing token sales to fund operations until it achieves positive cash flow.
Despite the sale, SkyAI holds 1.49M liquid and 509,650 locked $SOL (worth ~$151M at $75.63). The company reported $84.34 million in unrealized losses for the period.
The filing offers a rare public look at a company's crypto treasury management, showing SkyAI balancing profit-taking with retaining significant digital asset exposure.
$DODO 's 23% surge is primarily fueled by a massive spike in retail hype on Binance Square, where discussion volumes jumped 26x in 48 hours. This FOMO-driven trading loop, rather than any official project announcement, appears to be the main engine behind the price movement. The token also benefits indirectly from BNB Chain's new $100M incentive program, which has directed attention toward utility projects within its ecosystem.
Despite the rally, caution is warranted. There is no official confirmation for the narratives circulating about new aggregators or incentive plans. Additionally, DODO carries a high-risk "Observation Zone" tag on Binance, signaling potential delisting. As a low-cap momentum play, the token remains highly volatile, and the current surge could reverse just as quickly as it began.
$ETH On Monday, Buterin shared a side-by-side view of his 2023 Ethereum roadmap and the new "Strawmap" — a planning document that outlines Ethereum upgrades through 2029. Most of the original roadmap still aligns with the Strawmap.
Some items were reprioritized. Quantum safety — protecting Ethereum from future quantum computer threats — was moved ahead of other upgrades, jumping up the order.
Certain upgrades were removed entirely, including verifiable delay functions and several planned Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) improvements (the software that runs smart contracts).
🚨 BREAKING : Strategy sold 1,690 BTC between August 3–9, generating $108.6 million at an average price of $64,262 per Bitcoin. $STRC
Proceeds from the sale will fund preferred stock dividends and repurchase STRC shares.
Holdings have dropped to 840,447 BTC. This marks the 4th consecutive weekly sale, with no purchases in July—meaning Strategy has been net-zero on buying for about 7 weeks.
$DOS DAPPOS is an AI Web 3 token with a +350% price surge in the last 24h, driven by its x bubble product and strong community anticipation for it's Alpha launch.
$BTC The crypto market opened the week on a positive note, with bitcoin $BTC $64,978.83 up 0.54% since midnight UTC at $65,209 and ether $ETH$1,916.58 gaining 0.86% to $1,925 as sentiment stabilized following a turbulent July.
The move was correlated with Nasdaq 100 index futures, which rose by 0.45% since midnight, buoyed by speculation from the Middle East that Iran is ready to strike a deal with Oman to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The altcoin market is delicately poised, waiting to see if bitcoin can drive higher into the $68,000 to $72,000 range before benefiting from capital rotation.
$ADA Cardano (ADA) trades above $0.196 on Monday, following double-digit gains over the past two weeks. The recovery is supported by steady whale accumulation and improving derivatives data.
Technical Outlook ADA holds above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average with positive momentum. However, it remains below longer-term moving averages and faces a dense cluster of resistance levels that could cap further upside.
Whale Activity & Supply Since Friday, wallets holding 1M–10M ADA and 10M–100M ADA have accumulated 110 million tokens combined. This buying reduces available supply and strengthens ADA’s long-term fundamentals, despite near-term resistance risks.
$BTC Empire Digital sold 1,635 BTC ($102.2M) between July 1–Aug 6, reducing its holdings to 1,279 BTC. Of that, 954 BTC are pledged as collateral for a $35M debt, leaving only 325 BTC freely usable. The sale highlights risks for firms using Bitcoin as treasury assets.
