Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited is the company’s first live proof point for regulated fund tokenization on ZIGChain focused on GCC private credit.
Zamanat today announced its sponsorship of Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited (the “Fund”), a DIFC-domiciled tokenized private credit fund with a target size of up to USD 100 million. The Fund targets the GCC’s estimated $250 billion SME financing gap, with only 11 percent of SMEs across the region having access to credit.
Closing a $250 billion structural gap in GCC SME credit
Across the GCC, SMEs are central to economic growth yet remain significantly underserved by traditional financing. In the UAE, SMEs generate more than half of GDP and employ the majority of the private-sector workforce, yet receive less than 10 percent of total bank lending.
The Fund will invest in private credit across the region, directing capital towards strong homegrown companies whose financing needs are not fully met through traditional lending channels. The strategy supports national ambitions to expand SME participation, private-sector growth and access to alternative financing, including priorities set out under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE Centennial 2071.
“Strong businesses across the GCC still struggle to access growth capital despite sound fundamentals. Zamanat sponsored the Fund to create a credible route between those businesses and institutional capital. With a target size of up to USD 100 million and interests issued as Investment Tokens, it is our first live proof point for bringing GCC private credit into a regulated digital structure for Professional Clients,” said Umair Tariq, Founder and CEO of Zamanat.
Bringing GCC private credit into digital markets
Tokenization expands the infrastructure around traditionally hard-to-access private-market assets without changing the underlying investment or credit profile.
The Fund combines a regional private credit strategy, a DIFC fund structure, institutional administration and digital issuance on ZIGChain. It provides a first live demonstration of how regional private credit can be brought into a DFSA-regulated tokenized structure for Professional Clients.
The Fund is a DFSA-regulated closed-ended fund registered as an Exempt Fund and classified as a Credit Fund. It is managed by Truleum Venture Partners Limited and administered by Apex Group. Fund interests will be issued as ZM1 Investment Tokens on ZIGChain within a regulated, whitelisted environment.
As sponsor, Zamanat brings its regional private credit, investment structuring and institutional partnership expertise to the Fund’s development. Truleum retains responsibility for all regulated fund-management activities.
The ZM1 Investment Token structure provides a blockchain-native ownership and settlement layer within the Fund’s regulated framework. It also allows qualifying investors who meet the DFSA Professional Client criteria to participate alongside institutional investors.
Zamanat is backed by Disrupt.com, a MENA-based, operator-led AI-native venture builder and lead investor in the business.
Building the global market for Digital Shariah Assets
Global Islamic finance assets are projected to reach $9.7 trillion by 2029, yet demand for digital and Shariah-aligned assets is growing faster than the institutional infrastructure connecting them with global capital.
Zamanat continues to build the global market for Digital Shariah Assets. Its wider operating model combines investment structuring, Shariah expertise, regulated partner routes and digital distribution to bring real-world assets to market through traditional and digital channels.
The DIFC-domiciled Fund evidences the regulated fund-tokenization, digital ownership and partner-orchestration capability within that wider build. Zamanat is progressing a separate pipeline of Digital Shariah Assets across private credit, receivables, real estate and other asset classes.
Institutional partnerships
Apex Group acts as Fund Administrator, providing institutional fund administration and controls from the outset.
“Zamanat is supporting the creation of a new category in Digital Assets. Bringing institutional structure and digital distribution together within a DFSA-regulated framework sets the standard for how this market should be built, and this fund shows the model working at institutional scale. We are proud to support the infrastructure behind it, and we look forward to partnering further on the projects Zamanat already has in motion,” said Peter Hughes, Founder & CEO, Apex Group.
The global market for Digital Shariah Assets does not yet exist as an institutional category. Zamanat is building it.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 10th, 2026, Chainwire
Tech entrepreneur and angel investor Alessio Vinassa today announced the expansion of his investment framework focusing on the convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, applying strategic risk-mitigation model lessons derived from managing high-pressure financial turnarounds to emerging enterprise technologies. Before he began investing across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, Web3 and innovative finance, he faced a financial collapse that changed how he understood risk.
Alessio reached a point where approximately €180,000 was due while only about €2,200 remained in his bank account. The situation left him facing the possibility of bankruptcy and forced him to confront the consequences of growth without sufficient protection, diversification or structural discipline.
The experience became more than a difficult chapter in his entrepreneurial career. It influenced how he would later evaluate businesses, support founders and approach emerging technology.
Today, Alessio has more than fifteen years of operating and investment experience and has backed more than 40 ventures across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, Web3 and innovative finance. His current work reflects a strategic reality that businesses can no longer afford to ignore artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are becoming increasingly intertwined.
Artificial intelligence is changing how companies interpret information, automate work and make decisions. Each capability can also introduce another form of dependence. Systems require access to data. Automated tools may influence customer interactions, financial activity and internal operations. The more authority companies give these technologies, the more important security, transparency and accountability become.
For Alessio, this is where innovation must meet discipline.
“AI should amplify executive judgment, not replace it,” he says.
Technology can increase speed and capability, but leaders remain responsible for determining how that capability should be used, which risks are acceptable and where human oversight must remain.
Cybersecurity provides part of the foundation for that trust. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in important business processes, security extends beyond protecting networks from external threats. Companies must also understand who can access information, how automated actions are monitored and what happens when a system produces an unexpected result.
Businesses that address these questions early may be better positioned to earn the confidence of customers, investors and commercial partners. Those that treat security as an addition after adoption risk allowing operational exposure to grow alongside their success.
Alessio’s technology and investment perspective was shaped by learning what can happen when momentum is mistaken for stability. His financial collapse revealed that creating value and protecting it require different capabilities. A company may appear successful while becoming increasingly dependent on favourable conditions, concentrated decisions or systems that have not developed at the same rate as its growth.
The same lesson applies to emerging technology. A product can attract attention and investment before proving that it can operate securely, respond to failure or sustain customer trust.
Alessio evaluates opportunity through more than technical novelty. His approach considers whether a technology addresses a meaningful problem, whether customers can adopt it consistently and whether the company has the governance required to support expansion. In his published investment commentary, he has identified cybersecurity, artificial intelligence governance, identity solutions and enterprise automation as areas where technology is addressing essential infrastructure needs.
The leadership teams behind these products are equally important. Alessio has spoken about the value of founders who can identify where their businesses are exposed, explain how their systems will respond under pressure and recognise which evidence would require them to change direction.
“Good governance makes companies faster, not slower,” Alessio says.
Governance is sometimes treated as a restriction on innovation. Alessio views it as the structure that allows innovation to scale responsibly. Clear decision rights, reliable reporting and defined accountability enable companies to move without depending on one person to resolve every issue.
This perspective has particular relevance as businesses adopt artificial intelligence at increasing speed. Competitive pressure can encourage companies to introduce tools before they fully understand the information those tools access or the decisions they influence.
Alessio does not argue that innovation should slow by default. His position is that speed becomes commercially valuable only when the systems supporting it can be trusted. The objective is not to eliminate every possible risk. It is to understand exposure before customers, employees and operations become dependent on the technology.
His progression from financial collapse to investing across emerging technology also informs his broader work on leadership. The lesson was not simply that an entrepreneur can recover after losing money. Recovery became meaningful because it changed the structures and decisions that followed.
Alessio is developing these ideas further in his book, No One Is Coming: The Mental Operating System for Leaders Under Pressure. The book examines how founders, executives and operators make consequential decisions when certainty is unavailable and responsibility cannot be transferred to someone else.
As artificial intelligence and cybersecurity continue to converge, that responsibility will extend beyond technology teams. Investors will need to examine the security behind innovation. Boards will need to understand the systems on which their organisations depend. Founders will need to build trust as deliberately as they build capability.
The €180,000 turning point gave Alessio’s investment philosophy a personal foundation. It taught him that unmanaged exposure can remain hidden while confidence is high and growth is still visible. His work today applies that lesson to a new technological era: innovation creates lasting value only when the structures protecting it are built to endure.

A possible weekly bullish signal could emerge next week if XRP maintains its rising structure and momentum indicators turn higher.
XRP is range-bound around recent lows, with buyers consolidating at $1.38 and sellers continuing to show up at $1.40-$1.41.
XRP Ledger activity shows larger transfer values despite fewer active accounts, pointing to changing network participation patterns.
XRP weekly setup points toward a possible bullish signal, as the recent correction appears complete and the broader rising structure remains intact on the weekly chart for now.
Weekly Structure Shows Signs of Another Advance
The weekly chart shows XRP moving through recurring rally and consolidation phases. Earlier advances were followed by extended corrections and sideways trading. Those formations later resolved higher across previous cycles.
Source: X
CW said a bullish signal could emerge around next week on XRP's weekly chart. The analysis describes the recent correction as complete. It also indicates another rally may already be developing.
The latest structure follows a prolonged consolidation period before an upside breakout. Price then moved into the green area shown on the chart. The current pullback remains inside the broader rising formation.
The ascending lower trendline remains an important reference for this structure. A break below that trendline would weaken the current setup. Meanwhile, momentum indicators would need to turn higher for confirmation.
XRP Price Remains Within a Narrow Trading Range
XRP as of writing trades around $1.39, down 0.96% over 24 hours in the displayed data. Price has repeatedly moved between approximately $1.38 and $1.40. Earlier trading began near $1.41 before a sharp decline toward $1.37.
The recovery from $1.37 has remained uneven during the displayed period. Several attempts toward $1.40 failed to produce sustained upside movement. As a result, sellers continue appearing near the upper range.
Another decline pushed XRP toward $1.38 before buyers returned. Price subsequently recovered toward $1.40 before retreating again. The pattern continues to show competing pressure around both range boundaries.
The trading volume is about $2.04 billion and its market capitalization is close to $87.39 billion. Trading volume fell 3.61% whereas the volume-to-market-cap ratio stood at 2.38%. $1.40 is a key resistance level and if the price moves above that, the short-term structure would become more favorable.
Historical Cycles and Ledger Activity Add Context
The charts compare the current formation with earlier XRP consolidation phases. Those historical structures also followed extended sideways periods before upward expansion. The comparison places the present setup within a longer recurring market pattern.
TP1 represents XRP's previous all-time high on the projected chart. A move toward that level would mark the first major test. TP2 appears considerably higher and remains a future objective.
The lower indicators show repeated cycles of stronger and weaker momentum. Recent positive readings weakened during the correction from higher levels. A renewed histogram expansion could accompany the expected bullish signal.
Meanwhile, Crypto.Andy's data shows fewer active accounts than one year earlier. However, transferred value has increased, alongside larger average transaction sizes. The figures therefore show changing network activity rather than one uniform adoption trend.

Gaza’s ceasefire agreement creates a calmer geopolitical backdrop while cryptocurrency markets continue monitoring broader risk sentiment.
The $10,000 XRP forecast remains speculative, with no financial model or institutional projection supporting the proposed valuation.
XPUMP’s $200 scenario depends on reaching a $20 billion market value and sustaining sufficient demand and liquidity.
XRP market attention is rising as Gaza ceasefire developments reshape geopolitical sentiment and revive discussion around digital-asset valuations and XRPL growth.
Gaza Ceasefire Sets the Immediate Context
Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Trump’s Gaza peace plan. The agreement followed indirect negotiations held in Egypt. Reuters reported that the deal included ceasefire and hostage-release arrangements.
The agreement also included an Israeli military withdrawal to an agreed line. However, several implementation details remained unresolved after the announcement. Those outstanding issues could still affect the agreement’s longer-term progress.
The deal formed part of Trump’s broader 20-point framework for Gaza. It followed two years of conflict that reshaped regional political and security conditions. The initial phase represented progress toward reducing hostilities between the parties.
The posted video shows Trump signing the agreement in Sharm El-Sheikh. Its presence provides geopolitical context for the cryptocurrency discussion. However, the image does not establish any direct connection with XRP.
XRP Forecasts Drive the Crypto Narrative
The XRP Avengers post offers a very bullish prediction for XRP and XRPL. The report predicts XRP may eventually hit the price of $10,000 per coin. The post attributes that prediction to rumors involving a claimed divine vision.
https://twitter.com/XRP_Avengers/status/2096812112181915738?s=20
That projection remains separate from conventional financial valuation methods. No institutional forecast or detailed valuation model supports the proposed $10,000 target. Therefore, the figure remains a speculative scenario presented within the post.
XRP as of writing trades around $1.41, according to CoinGecko market data. Its recent seven-day range extends between approximately $1.31 and $1.48. The current market level remains far below the $10,000 projection.
A move toward $10,000 would require extraordinary valuation expansion. Such an outcome would require sustained demand across multiple global markets. It would also require substantially deeper liquidity and broader network utilization.
XPUMP Adds Another XRPL Speculative Scenario
The XRP Avengers post also promotes XPUMP as an XRPL-based meme project. It claims Binance and MEXC have provided institutional support for the token. The supplied material does not independently establish direct institutional investment in XPUMP.
The post-projects XPUMP could reach a $20 billion market capitalization. It then suggests the token could rise from $0.40 toward $200. That scenario depends heavily on circulating supply and sustained market demand.
Market capitalization alone does not guarantee a particular token price. Trading liquidity must also support transactions around any proposed valuation. Therefore, the $200 projection remains hypothetical rather than an established market target.
The wider narrative centers on growing activity across the XRP Ledger ecosystem. XRP remains the network’s native asset and supports transactions across its infrastructure. Meanwhile, XPUMP represents a separate speculative asset operating within that ecosystem.
The Gaza agreement and these cryptocurrency forecasts represent separate developments. Reduced geopolitical tensions can influence broader risk sentiment, but they create no direct XRP valuation mechanism. Current market activity, liquidity, adoption, and XRPL usage provide more measurable reference points.

Tesla bought 43,770 BTC for $1.5 billion in February 2021 before selling 4,670 BTC for $260.2 million later that year for profit.
Tesla moved 30,690 BTC to Coinbase during the 2022 LUNA collapse, sharply reducing its Bitcoin holdings to a near 8,430 BTC level.
Arkham estimates Tesla and SpaceX now hold about $1.3 billion in Bitcoin after Tesla retained remaining BTC through the FTX crash.
Tesla still holds about 11,500 Bitcoin after cutting most of its position during the 2022 market crash. Arkham’s research found Tesla bought $1.5 billion in Bitcoin in February 2021, sold 4,670 BTC later that year, and moved 30,690 BTC to Coinbase during the LUNA collapse.
https://twitter.com/arkham/status/2097249498820964633?s=20
Tesla’s $1.5 Billion Bitcoin Purchase
Tesla bought 43,770 BTC on Feb. 1, 2021, at an average price near $34,270. Elon Musk directed the purchase as Tesla sought greater flexibility for its cash holdings. The position quickly gained value as Bitcoin climbed.
After two weeks, Tesla’s holdings exceeded $2 billion. Three weeks later, they reached about $2.5 billion. Tesla then sold 4,670 BTC across March and April 2021 for roughly $260.2 million. The company generated about $100.2 million in profit from those sales.
However, Tesla continued holding almost 40,000 BTC through the rest of 2021. At Bitcoin’s Nov. 7 peak, the position showed about $1.5 billion in additional profit.
LUNA Collapse Reshapes Tesla’s BTC Holdings
The next major change came during the Terra ecosystem collapse in May 2022. Tesla moved 30,690 BTC to Coinbase as Bitcoin prices fell sharply. Arkham’s research indicates Tesla intended to sell most of that transfer.
The move reduced Tesla’s holdings to about 8,430 BTC, worth roughly $250 million. However, on-chain activity in June suggested Tesla may have reacquired Bitcoin from Coinbase. It also remained possible that some transferred BTC never reached the market.
Following those movements, Tesla appeared to hold roughly 11,500 BTC. That figure has remained largely unchanged since mid-2022.
Tesla Held Bitcoin Through FTX Collapse
Tesla did not sell additional Bitcoin during the FTX collapse later in 2022. Bitcoin fell another 50%, leaving Tesla more than $100 million below its cost basis temporarily. Meanwhile, Tesla had earlier suspended Bitcoin vehicle payments after accepting BTC briefly.
The company cited concerns about Bitcoin mining’s environmental impact. Elon Musk’s public comments also addressed Bitcoin, Dogecoin, payments and renewable-powered mining.
Arkham additionally identified wallet activity associated with SpaceX that resembled Tesla’s transactions. At one point, Tesla and SpaceX together held more than $4.2 billion in Bitcoin. Their combined holdings now carry a value of roughly $1.3 billion.

What happens when yesterday’s crypto giants start flashing new signals? And what if the next opportunity is already climbing through its presale stages? For traders scanning the best altcoins to watch, Chainlink and Tron are delivering two very different stories right now. LINK is facing fresh momentum questions after its powerful rally, while TRON is stepping further into mainstream crypto through its staked TRX ETF. The contrast is putting established altcoins and emerging projects firmly back in the spotlight.
That is where Apeing enters the conversation. The Apeing presale is LIVE in Stage 3, Paper Hand Panic, with the current price at $0.0004 and a limited allocation of 300 million tokens. The next stage moves to $0.0005, while the stated listing price is $0.01, giving the live presale a clear price-progression narrative as Apeing moves through its 33-stage structure.
Best Altcoins to Watch: Why Apeing's Stage 3 Window Is Getting Attention
This is where Apeing stops looking like another token quietly sitting in a presale and starts looking like a clock that is already ticking. Apeing is positioning itself as “The OG Degen Coin,” built around participation, conviction and community. But the immediate attraction is simple: the presale is LIVE, Stage 3 has a limited allocation, and the price is scheduled to rise in subsequent stages. The project has structured its presale across 33 stages, with 40% of the total 16.75 billion $APEING supply allocated to the presale. Early stages therefore give participants access before later stages carry higher prices.
Apeing is currently in Stage 3, Paper Hand Panic, priced at $0.0004. The project has raised $68,175 and has 211 holders, with over 380M $APEING tokens sold. The stated potential ROI is 2,400%, based on the $0.01 listing target. Apeing has a 16.75B total supply, with 40% allocated to the presale across 33 stages. The project is an Ethereum ERC-20 token, with liquidity locked for 18 months.
There is also a scarcity mechanism that adds another layer to the story. When a presale stage closes with tokens left unsold, those tokens are burned. That creates a straightforward dynamic: the available allocation is not simply waiting indefinitely. As stages close, the structure moves forward, while unsold tokens can be removed from supply. For readers scanning the best altcoins to watch, Apeing's appeal is therefore centered on timing, stage progression and scarcity rather than simply chasing an already-established market price.
Best Altcoins to Watch: The Apeing Price Gap That Has Traders Looking Twice
Apeing's stated $0.01 listing price creates an eye-catching theoretical gap from the current $0.0004 Stage 3 price.
MetricApeingCurrent Stage 3 Price$0.0004Stated Listing Price$0.01$1,000 at Stage 32,500,000 $APEINGTheoretical value at $0.01$25,000
At the current presale price of $0.0004, a $1,000 purchase would acquire approximately 2.5 million tokens. At a $0.01 listing price, those tokens would have a theoretical market value of approximately $25,000, before fees and assuming the stated listing price were reached. The calculation is illustrative and shows why the difference between presale stages and the stated listing price is attracting attention.
Apeing is also built on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, giving the project a familiar technical foundation while its brand leans aggressively into degen culture. The combination of a fixed 16.75 billion supply, stage-based pricing and a live presale gives the project a very different narrative from established altcoins that have already spent years trading in open markets.
How to Buy Apeing Presale
The Apeing presale is already LIVE. To participate, use the official Apeing website and official project channels for the current presale information, including the active stage, price and participation process.
Because the presale advances through defined stages, the current price should always be checked through Apeing's official channels before participating.
Chainlink Rally Hits a Speed Bump as New Signals Put LINK Traders on Alert
Chainlink (LINK) has delivered a powerful rally, climbing roughly 95% in two months from around $7 to a recent high of $13.77. Yet analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a TD Sequential sell signal on LINK's weekly chart, while transactions worth more than $1 million fell from roughly 59 over two weeks to about 10 on September 7. Around 1.75 million LINK also moved onto exchanges, lifting exchange balances from about 269.25 million to roughly 271 million. The combination has traders watching for a possible cooling period after the sharp advance.
The broader Chainlink story remains active. Charles Schwab announced plans to add LINK, alongside Solana and Avalanche, to Schwab Crypto accounts in the coming months. Wyoming also adopted Chainlink Proof of Reserve for its Frontier Stable Token, enabling near-real-time on-chain verification of reserves. Meanwhile, market watchers remain focused on LINK's ability to maintain higher-timeframe support following its strong run.
TRON Breaks Into a New Market Chapter With Staked TRX ETF
TRON is stepping into a major new chapter as the Canary Staked TRX ETF, trading under the ticker TRXS, is set to debut on Cboe on September 9. The product gives traditional-market participants exposure to TRX while incorporating staking into the fund structure. The prospectus describes a secondary objective of earning additional TRX through the network's proof-of-stake process, with staking rewards reflected in the fund's net asset value. The product carries a 1.10% annual sponsor fee, while staking fees are capped at 20% of generated rewards.
The ETF arrives as TRON continues to command substantial stablecoin activity. During Q2 2026, the network processed approximately $2.1 trillion in USDT transfers, while its stablecoin market capitalization reached $89.2 billion. USDT represented about 98.5% of that total. The new TRXS product adds another bridge between TRON's on-chain activity and traditional financial markets, giving the TRX story another major headline for crypto news today.
Conclusion: Established Giants, One Early-Stage Challenger
Chainlink is dealing with fresh momentum questions after a major rally, even as institutional and public-sector developments continue strengthening its broader story. TRON, meanwhile, is gaining attention through the arrival of a staked TRX ETF and its enormous stablecoin settlement activity. Apeing sits at a very different point in the cycle, with its opportunity centered on an already-live presale and stage-based entry.
The Apeing presale is LIVE now in Stage 3 at $0.0004, with a limited 300 million-token allocation before the next stage price rises to $0.0005. The stated listing price is $0.01, while the 33-stage structure means the current stage will not remain the current stage forever. For those tracking the best altcoins to watch, the question is not simply what is making headlines today. It is what is already moving before the next price step. APE HARD. HOLD STRONG. BUILD WEALTH.

Analyst identifies $0.045-$0.035 as a major accumulation zone and $0.08 as the key reclaim level.
Patel projects bull-cycle targets of $0.157, $0.35, $0.70, $1.146 and $2 after a confirmed macro breakout.
SEI trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with $0.048 support and $0.053-$0.055 resistance in focus.
SEI trades near $0.050 after rebounding from its July and early August lows. Crypto Patel outlined a potential 4,000% rally from the current structure. Patel pointed to a multi-year descending channel, a major demand zone, and $0.08 as a key reclaim level, while chart data shows SEI above both major moving averages.
SEI Recovers From Major Demand Zone
Crypto Patel said SEI remains within a multi-year descending channel and has reached its lower boundary. He identified $0.045–$0.035 as the higher-timeframe accumulation zone. According to Patel, SEI is already 35% above that accumulation area.
He also identified about $0.08 as major historical support and resistance. The analyst said a higher low followed by a channel breakout could precede a new macro expansion. His outlined sequence runs from accumulation to a higher low, channel breakout, $0.08 reclaim, retest and continuation.
However, Patel placed weekly invalidation below $0.034. He also listed bull-cycle targets at $0.157, $0.35, $0.70, $1.146 and $2.
Price Clears Key Moving Averages
Chart data shows SEI near $0.050 after a prolonged decline. Price fell from above $0.065 to about $0.052 between March and early April. It later recovered toward $0.063 in late April. A strong move in early May pushed SEI to roughly $0.077 before a sharp reversal followed.
Source: Santiment
SEI then dropped below $0.045 in June. The decline continued through July and early August, when price reached approximately $0.039–$0.040. Since then, SEI has recovered above the 50-day moving average at $0.048. The 200-day moving average sits around $0.044, leaving price above both levels.
Resistance Levels Shape the Next Move
The 50-day moving average has turned upward, while the 200-day average has flattened after its decline. Recent upward movements also came with higher trading volume. Immediate resistance is around $0.053–$0.055. The next resistance zone sits between $0.058 and $0.063.
On the downside, $0.048 provides the first support, followed by $0.044 and $0.040. A sustained move above $0.055 could target $0.063. However, losing $0.048 could expose the $0.044–$0.040 region. Patel's longer-term structure also keeps $0.08 and $0.034 as major levels.

JASMY holds $0.00420 support within a falling wedge, with $0.00450-$0.00460 marking the key breakout zone.
Crypto With Gopal targets $0.006 after a confirmed breakout, while Javon Marks projects a much higher $0.2785 target.
RSI remains below 50 and MACD is neutral-to-bearish, keeping $0.00420 support critical for the current setup.
JASMY is trading near $0.00420 as analysts track a falling-wedge setup and possible price recovery. Analyst Crypto With Gopal identified $0.00420 as key support and $0.00450-$0.00460 as the breakout zone. Meanwhile, Javon Marks set a $0.2785 target, representing a potential move above 6,500% from current levels.
JASMY Tests Falling-Wedge Support
Crypto With Gopal said JASMY has formed a falling wedge as price compresses near $0.00420 support. He said the setup remains valid while that level holds. The analyst identified $0.00450-$0.00460 as the main breakout area.
A move above that range could push JASMY toward his $0.00600 target. The current market data shows price at $0.00421, with the latest candle opening at $0.00422.

It reached $0.00423 before dipping to $0.00420, while volume stood near 8.52 million JASMY. Price began the period around $0.0048-$0.0050 and briefly moved above $0.0050. It then formed lower highs and lower lows during the broader decline.
September Price Action
The sharpest sell-off came around Sept. 4, when JASMY dropped from about $0.00475 toward $0.00430. However, a recovery attempt on Sept. 7 reached roughly $0.00455-$0.00460 before price returned toward $0.00420-$0.00430.
That zone now provides the immediate support area identified in the market data. Meanwhile, Javon Marks has outlined a much higher target for JASMY. Marks placed $0.2785 as his target and referenced a move above 6,500%. His target differs substantially from Crypto With Gopal's nearer $0.00600 objective.
RSI and MACD Remain Subdued
Momentum readings remain subdued, with RSI at 45.17. The reading is below its 47.85 moving average and the neutral 50 level. A move above 50 would provide the first meaningful improvement in RSI momentum.
Source: TradingView
The MACD also remains neutral-to-bearish, with both MACD and signal near -0.00001. The histogram is around 0.00000, showing that selling momentum has weakened without strong bullish confirmation.
Key support is at $0.00420, followed by $0.00400. Resistance appears around $0.00435-$0.00440, then $0.00455-$0.00460. A decisive move above $0.00460 could open $0.00480, while a break below $0.00420 would expose lower levels.

SOL printed its first green monthly candle in 10 months as monthly RSI broke a two-year downtrend.
A potential monthly MACD bullish cross adds to improving momentum, while whale HURDw accumulated 285,503 SOL.
SOL faces $105-$107 resistance, with a sustained breakout potentially opening $109-$111, while $102-$103 remains support.
Solana has posted three monthly technical changes as a large whale accumulated $28.82 million worth of SOL. Ash Crypto highlighted a green monthly candle, a potential MACD bullish cross, and a two-year RSI downtrend break. Meanwhile, Lookonchain reported that whale HURDw bought 285,503 SOL on Hyperliquid over three weeks.
Monthly Signals Turn Positive
Ash Crypto said Solana closed its first green monthly candle in 10 months. The analyst also pointed to a monthly MACD that is about to cross bullish. Additionally, monthly RSI has broken a downtrend that lasted two years.
Ash Crypto asked whether these changes could precede a major bullish reversal. The technical developments come as SOL trades within a volatile range. Spot flow data shows price moving between roughly $98 and $110 from Aug. 28 to Sept. 9.
SOL started near $109 to $110 on Aug. 28 before falling toward $102. It briefly recovered above $105, then reached about $98 to $99 around Sept. 2.
Whale Buying Adds to Market Activity
Lookonchain reported that whale HURDw accumulated 285,503 SOL worth $28.82 million. The purchases occurred on Hyperliquid over the past three weeks. Meanwhile, spot netflows remained uneven during the same period.
https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/2097272159911752026?s=20
Green bars showed stronger inflows, while red bars represented periods when outflows dominated. One inflow spike approached $25 million on Sept. 3. Several outflow events reached about $15 million, while another positive flow cluster appeared around Sept. 6.
That cluster included individual inflow spikes above $10 million. SOL also reached about $105 to $107 around Sept. 6 before retreating toward $104 to $105.
SOL Faces $105 to $107 Resistance
The latest flow data shows a more subdued and mixed environment. SOL trades near $104 to $105. The main levels identified are $102 to $103 support and $105 to $107 resistance. A sustained move above $107, with controlled inflows, could open the $109 to $111 area.
Source: Coinglass
However, renewed large inflows and rejection below $105 could expose $102 and potentially $99 to $100. Large inflows can increase available SOL supply on spot venues. However, significant outflows can reduce readily available selling supply when withdrawals persist.

Ali Charts targets $1.46 after an hourly close above $1.40, while Ella watches $1.44-$1.46 for confirmation.
Celal Kucuker projects XRP targets from $2.30 to $11.60, with $3.30, $4.90 and $7.50 also in focus.
XRP holds above its 50-day MA near $1.40, while $1.38 and $1.33-$1.35 provide downside support.
XRP is testing resistance after a sharp August recovery, with analysts watching $1.40 and $1.46 for further price direction. Celal Kucuker listed targets from $2.30 to $11.60, while Ali Charts identified $1.40 as an hourly breakout level. LBank Exchange partner Ella is watching $1.44-$1.46 for confirmation.
Analysts Track XRP Breakout Levels
Ali Charts said XRP appears to be forming a descending triangle on the hourly chart. He is watching for an hourly close above $1.40. According to Ali Charts, a confirmed break could send XRP toward $1.46. Meanwhile, Ella identified $1.44-$1.46 as the immediate decision zone.
https://twitter.com/alicharts/status/2097243238339920272?s=20
Ella said XRP opened at $1.3965 on Coinbase, fell to $1.3809, then reached $1.4509. XRP also outperformed ETH and SOL during that session. However, Ella wants a daily close above $1.46 before treating $1.50-$1.52 as the next structural area.
August Rally Changes XRP Price Structure
XRP fell from its March-May highs through June and July. The decline pushed the token toward $0.98-$1.05 in early August. However, XRP broke higher around Aug. 20-23 and reached approximately $1.55.
Source: Santiment
The move came alongside a sharp increase in trading volume. The latest chart shows XRP around $1.439, above its 50-day moving average near $1.40. The 200-day moving average stands around $1.25.
Support currently is near $1.40. A deeper decline could bring the $1.25 area into focus. Meanwhile, current trading volume is around 2.85 billion. The chart also shows the total amount of holders rising to approximately 8.11 billion.
Longer-Term Targets Stretch Toward $11.60
Celal Kucuker listed $2.30, $3.30, $4.90, $7.50 and $11.60 as XRP targets. His projection places $2.30 as the first level above the current market price. For the shorter term, XRP faces resistance around $1.50-$1.55. A break above $1.55 could bring $1.58 into focus.
However, Ella said a daily close below $1.38 would weaken the rebound. That move could return attention to $1.33-$1.35. Until either boundary breaks, Ella described the market as a resistance test within a volatile range.

Analyst says four previous Warm Supply Realized Price reclaims preceded Bitcoin rallies ranging from 34% to 159%.
Ted Pillow sees $100K possible after a weekly close above $83K, despite declining spot demand and mixed flows.
Bitcoin’s RSI and MACD are improving, while $80K-$81K resistance and $78K support remain key levels to watch.
Bitcoin is trading near $79,300 after reclaiming its Warm Supply Realized Price, according to analyst Ali Charts. The metric tracks BTC that last moved between one week and six months earlier. CryptoBullet and Ted Pillow also highlighted separate signals involving Bitcoin’s cycle, spot demand, and technical structure. Their comments came as Bitcoin tests resistance around the $80,000 area.
Bitcoin Reclaims a Key Cost Basis
Ali Charts said four previous reclaims preceded sizable Bitcoin rallies. The January 2023 reclaim preceded a 69% rise, while October 2023 produced a 159% gain. The October 2024 reclaim came before a 74% advance. Meanwhile, the April 2025 reclaim preceded a 34% increase.
However, CryptoBullet said the bearish case remains open if July 1’s $57,750 level marked the cycle bottom. He identified Oct. 4, Oct. 17, and Nov. 21 as dates matching earlier bear market bottoms. CryptoBullet set Dec. 1 as his deadline for becoming fully bullish.

Golden Cross Meets Declining Spot Demand
Ted Pillow reported that Bitcoin recently formed a golden cross on the daily timeframe. However, he also said spot demand is declining. Pillow said Bitcoin could reach $100,000 this year after a weekly close above $83,000.
https://twitter.com/TedPillows/status/2097368815680049489?s=20
The current market data places BTC at $79,300. Bitcoin recovered from the $77,700-$78,000 area after the Sept. 8-9 sell-off. It remains below $80,000, with resistance around $80,000-$81,000. Support is near $78,000, while stronger protection appears around $77,000-$77,700.
Bitcoin Momentum Improves Near $80K
A move above $79,300 could place $80,000 within reach. A break above $80,000 could bring $81,000-$81,500 into focus. The RSI reads 59.12, above its moving-average line at 49.80. It remains below the 70 overbought threshold.
Source: TradingView
Meanwhile, the MACD has turned positive, with displayed values of 107.58 and 58.02. The histogram has also moved into positive territory. Spot flows have remained mixed. Continued inflows could support recovery toward $80,000-$82,000, while persistent outflows could expose $77,000 and $75,600.

Ripple expansion now spans payments, custody, stablecoins, treasury, prime brokerage, and equity derivatives across institutional finance.
RLUSD and XRP serve different roles, while XRPL supports stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized liquidity in finance markets.
Delta One connects equity derivatives with digital assets, extending Ripple Prime’s institutional infrastructure across asset classes.
Ripple expansion is reshaping financial infrastructure across payments, custody, stablecoins, treasury, brokerage, and derivatives. The model increasingly connects these services across broader institutional financial operations and markets globally.
Payments, Custody and Stablecoin Infrastructure
XRP Update recently asked whether Ripple is becoming more than a payments company. The post points to payments, custody, stablecoins, treasury, prime brokerage, and equity derivatives. It asks which area could deliver the greatest long-term impact.
https://twitter.com/XrpUdate/status/2097033086487957663?s=20
Ripple places custody alongside payments within its broader operating structure. Stablecoins form another branch through RLUSD, with a distinct monetary function for digital transactions. Stablecoins aim to maintain stable value, unlike XRP’s native network role within XRPL.
Treasury connects digital liquidity with established corporate financial management processes. Ripple launched Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury within Ripple Treasury for institutional operations. These tools bring fiat and digital liquidity management into one system for treasury teams.
Prime brokerage extends the platform into institutional trading across several asset classes. Ripple Prime covers equities, foreign exchange, derivatives, fixed income, and digital assets across markets. Clients can access these markets through a single institutional counterparty and broader platform.
Prime Brokerage and Equity Derivatives
Equity derivatives add another connection between traditional markets and digital infrastructure. Ripple Prime launched Delta One for institutional equity derivatives trading on September 2, 2026. The service includes Total Return Swaps across U.S.-listed equities, indices, and digital assets.
The expansion presents six connected functions around a central financial infrastructure model. Payments address value movement, while custody focuses on digital asset management for institutions. Stablecoins address stable-value settlement within the same broader ecosystem and operating framework.
Treasury, brokerage, and derivatives extend the model toward institutional capital markets. The structure also places traditional and digital markets within connected services under one platform. XRP remains relevant, but Ripple’s businesses do not automatically require XRP in every operation.
Its direct utility depends on actual liquidity and settlement usage across supported financial channels. That distinction separates corporate expansion from token-specific demand and measurable network activity. RLUSD provides another connection with the XRP Ledger ecosystem through stable-value digital transactions.
XRP Utility and Institutional Financial Activity
XRP remains the ledger’s native asset, while RLUSD serves stable-value use cases. XRPL also supports stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized liquidity across digital financial applications. XRP trades near $1.40, according to current market data on September 8.
Recent data places short-term support near $1.32 and resistance around $1.46. The broader model depends on interaction between these financial services across institutional workflows. Institutions could require payments, custody, treasury, brokerage, and digital settlement within one relationship.
Ripple’s expansion therefore centers on connecting functions across institutional financial activity. The central architecture presents Ripple as an integrated provider across traditional and digital markets. The key question remains how much activity ultimately reaches XRP or XRPL liquidity.
Current evidence shows expansion across payments, treasury, custody, and prime brokerage. Delta One adds equity derivatives to the institutional offering and broadens its cross-asset reach. XRP utility will depend on actual usage across connected financial channels and settlement flows.

What makes a cryptocurrency move from a small community trend into a market-wide story? Price momentum, strong communities, developer activity, whale interest, and a narrative that keeps people watching can all play a role. That is why Dogecoin and OFFICIAL TRUMP continue to attract attention while Apeing ($APEING) enters the conversation from an earlier starting point.
The latest Dogecoin price prediction points toward changing market conditions, while OFFICIAL TRUMP remains closely linked to social attention. Yet Apeing ($APEING) brings a fresh presale story, with Stage 1 opening at $0.0001 and a target listing price of $0.01. For readers tracking the next 1000x meme coin, the Apeing presale creates a front-row FOMO moment.
Next 1000x Meme Coin: Apeing ($APEING) Banana Drop Opens
Apeing ($APEING) is bringing a fresh meme coin story to the market as Stage 1, called Banana Drop, goes live. The opening price is $0.0001, giving early community members a low entry point before the planned $0.01 listing. The stage allocation is limited to 150,000,000 $APEING, making early availability central to the campaign.
The project highlights referral rewards and APY opportunities while building an active community around the presale. The target move from $0.0001 to $0.01 represents 9,900% potential ROI, placing Apeing ($APEING) firmly among projects discussed as a next 1000x meme coin. The message is simple: early stages matter. With Banana Drop now live, the cheapest stated entry is available before later stages arrive and the market story becomes larger.
From Banana Drop to the Front Row: How Apeing ($APEING) Starts
Joining Apeing ($APEING) starts by visiting the project’s official website, connecting the preferred payment method, and following the purchase steps to secure tokens.
Early participants can gain access to referral rewards, APY opportunities, and a stronger position within the growing Apeing community. For followers seeking the next 1000x meme coin, joining early means getting closer to the project from its first stage instead of waiting until broader market attention arrives.
Apeing ($APEING) Has a Bigger Banana to Peel
Apeing ($APEING) is pairing meme culture with a structured market plan. The project targets a $0.01 listing price after presale stages, with an Ethereum decentralized exchange leading the opening. Liquidity is prepared before trading and is planned to remain locked for eighteen months. Centralized exchange expansion targets three to five exchanges, including a United States venue when timing and compliance align.
On-chain staking is planned for Ethereum a few weeks after trading begins. Team tokens follow a one-year lock and 6-month release. Unsold presale tokens are removed through the burn function when a stage ends. These features strengthen the next 1000x meme coin narrative around Apeing ($APEING).
Dogecoin Price Movement and the 2026 to 2027 Outlook
Dogecoin trades at $0.089637, with $954,974,684 USD in 24-hour volume, down 0.57%. Its market cap is $13,967,835,790, ranking #11, with 155,826,526,384 DOGE circulating. The latest Dogecoin price prediction signals a market watching technical momentum closely. CoinCodex currently shows DOGE sentiment as bullish, with a 14-day RSI of 63.74 and a 200-day SMA of $0.08840. Its model projects $0.1446 by the end of 2026. For 2027, Changelly estimates an average around $0.106 to $0.117, depending on its latest model update.
Dogecoin also benefits from strong name recognition, developer activity, blockchain adoption, whale movements, and large investor attention. Like a cat that keeps landing on its feet, DOGE repeatedly returns to the spotlight. Penguins, peanuts, and meme culture keep the community side lively, while trading volume provides the market side. The Dogecoin price prediction therefore remains closely tied to broader crypto sentiment, Bitcoin cycles, social attention, and changing trading patterns. For analysts, DOGE remains a useful gauge of meme coin appetite.
OFFICIAL TRUMP Coin Price Outlook: Where Could TRUMP Go in 2026 and 2027?
OFFICIAL TRUMP trades at $2.25, with $298,948,251 in 24-hour volume, up 0.30%. Its market cap is $615,700,788, ranking #78, while circulating supply stands at 273,136,134 TRUMP coins against a max. supply of 999,999,014 TRUMP coins. The token remains heavily driven by social attention and political branding. CoinCodex currently places its short-term sentiment as bearish, with extremely high volatility and a 14-day RSI of 56.20. Its model projects $1.61 by the end of 2026. For 2027, its published monthly model shows a possible recovery toward $3.29 by December, with a much stronger mid-year range.
The Official Trump price prediction story therefore depends heavily on attention, trading volume, broader meme coin momentum, and shifts in social sentiment. Unlike Dogecoin, which has a long-running community and active blockchain history, OFFICIAL TRUMP relies strongly on cultural visibility. Large traders can quickly change its trading pattern when attention rises. For financial analysts, that makes TRUMP an interesting example of how branding and market activity can interact.
Conclusion: The Next 1000x Meme Coin Story Is Already Moving
Dogecoin remains a major meme coin benchmark, while the Official Trump price prediction continues to attract traders watching social momentum and market activity. The latest Dogecoin price prediction also keeps DOGE in focus, with its established liquidity, broad recognition, developer activity, and large community support driving ongoing interest. TRUMP brings a different story powered by branding and attention, giving the meme coin market another narrative to track.
Apeing ($APEING), however, enters before its planned listing, with Stage 1 Banana Drop priced at $0.0001 and a target listing price of $0.01. The stated 9,900% potential ROI, 150,000,000 $APEING allocation, referral rewards, APY opportunities, and staged listing plan make the project a notable next 1000x meme coin contender. Banana Drop is live now, putting early community participation at the center of the story.

XRP’s structure, governance, and legal framework limit any single company’s ability to redefine its broader monetary identity alone.
XRP is presented as a neutral bridge connecting fiat, stablecoins, and tokenized assets across separate global financial systems.
Contracts, markets, counterparties, and regulation create overlapping constraints around attempts to reshape XRP’s broader ecosystem.
XRP Neutrality remains central to Rob Cunningham’s argument that Ripple cannot transform the digital asset into a CBDC, reserve currency, or centrally controlled financial instrument through declaration alone.
Ripple Cannot Unilaterally Redefine XRP
Cunningham’s argument begins with a direct distinction between Ripple and XRP. He rejects claims that corporate declarations could change XRP’s fundamental monetary character or identity. The infographic similarly states XRP is not a CBDC or banker-issued currency.
https://twitter.com/KuwlShow/status/2096432479271882973?s=20
According to the presentation, XRP carries no claim against a central bank. It is also presented as separate from government-issued legal tender. Therefore, corporate branding changes would not automatically alter its underlying nature.
Cunningham said Ripple can change products, holdings, contracts, and commercial strategies. It can also modify software contributions and its relationship with XRP. However, he argued those decisions cannot independently rewrite the asset’s architecture.
The infographic places this separation near the center of its argument. XRP’s identity depends on broader technical and institutional structures, it says. Those structures extend beyond decisions made by Ripple or any other individual corporate participant.
A Neutral Bridge Across Different Forms of Money
The second part focuses on XRP’s proposed role within global payments infrastructure. Cunningham describes it as a bridge connecting currencies and supplying liquidity. That role differs from becoming a replacement for sovereign money.
His post says Ripple accommodates XRP alongside RLUSD and other stablecoins. Fiat currencies and tokenized assets also fit within that broader architecture. The framework therefore presents interoperability and coexistence rather than monetary dominance as its objective.
The infographic uses a bridge metaphor to explain this proposed neutrality. A bridge facilitates movement without owning the cargo crossing it. Likewise, XRP could connect different assets without replacing those assets or controlling their issuers.
Cunningham argues that everyone’s money can remain their own money. XRP would function between separate monetary systems under this framework. XRP is priced at $1.42 as of writing.
Multiple Constraints Shape XRP’s Broader Ecosystem
The final section moves from theory toward contractual and institutional constraints. Cunningham argues counterparties may possess rights tied to specified XRP functionality. Material changes could therefore trigger remedies or disputes under relevant contractual agreements.
The infographic then lists several independent sources of constraint on participants. These include protocol governance, property rights, and regulatory classifications. Private contracts and independent counterparties add further layers and restraint to that structure.
Market incentives also appear among the listed constraints within Cunningham’s framework. No corporation, the infographic argues, controls every one simultaneously. All these elements put together provide a solid boundary to unilateral efforts to change the wider ecosystem of XRP.
The argument ultimately attacks the oversimplified notion of a centralized control of the ecosystem by the corporation. Ripple remains an important participant, but participation differs from absolute authority within the ecosystem. XRP Neutrality therefore rests on coexistence among technical, legal, and market structures.

Ethereum Foundation targets quantum resistance across execution, consensus and data layers by December 2029.
The Hegotá review gives EIP-7805 and EIP-8141 S-tier status, marking them as proposals that “must ship.”
Ethereum’s roadmap expands research into privacy, fast finality, state management and zkEVM alongside quantum security.
The Ethereum Foundation has graded 62 proposals for the Hegotá upgrade, putting quantum security at the center of its roadmap. On Sept. 7, the Protocol Cluster ranked EIP-7805 and EIP-8141 in the S tier, while setting December 2029 as the target for quantum resistance across Ethereum’s execution, consensus and data layers. The assessment involved roughly 60 contributors.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2097110302659948557?s=20
Hegotá Ranking Narrows the Upgrade Scope
The Protocol Cluster published its Hegotá ranking alongside its protocol priorities on Sept. 7. Nine Protocol teams and experts produced 397 grades across 62 proposals. EIP-7805, known as FOCIL, and EIP-8141, known as Frame Transactions, received S-tier status.
S means “must ship,” while A means “expected to ship.” Fifteen proposals received A grades, eight received B grades, and seven received C grades. Meanwhile, the cluster declined 28 proposals, while two remained pending until mainnet evidence becomes available.
Quantum Target Runs Through 2029
The Foundation wants Ethereum’s execution, consensus and data layers to reach quantum resistance by December 2029. It plans that work across several upgrades. The Protocol Cluster said Ethereum should prepare for Q-day as early as 2030.
However, it noted that credible estimates place that threat later, and its arrival remains uncertain. Google, Cloudflare and Microsoft have also set 2029 migration targets. The Foundation will keep its deadline until a January 2027 review with outside experts.
Full post-quantum readiness sits at L*, five forks after Glamsterdam. That schedule requires an average fork cadence of 7.2 months. A minimum viable post-quantum milestone could arrive at J* with a 12-month cadence.
Privacy And Research Priorities Expand
The cluster identified five research areas: fast finality, post-quantum security, privacy, state management and zkEVM. It also said Hegotá should begin work on native, trustless and censorship-resistant private transactions.
Vitalik Buterin has discussed replacing vulnerable BLS signatures. The Foundation’s plan also links account abstraction with EIP-8141. Client teams could begin Hegotá implementation in late Q4 2026.
Geth will publish its list, according to the cluster. The Protocol Cluster will hold a Reddit AMA on Sept. 16 at 2 p.m. UTC. Researchers will discuss Hegotá priorities, the tier list and questions.

DBS and Citi complete a cross-border USD payment in minutes, showing weekend transactions can bypass traditional banking-hour delays.
Swift’s Digital Ledger synchronizes payment commitments between banks, while settlement continues through existing banking infrastructure.
DBS says tokenized deposits can support corporate liquidity management across markets, time zones and regular banking hours.
DBS and Citi completed a cross-border U.S. dollar payment between Singapore and the United States on Sept. 5. The weekend transaction used tokenized deposits through Swift’s Digital Ledger and took minutes to complete. It demonstrated cross-border payment processing outside traditional banking hours, with settlement continuing through existing banking infrastructure.
https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2096942324979040528?s=20
Weekend Payment Cuts Banking Time Gaps
The transaction involved DBS and Citi’s New York office, according to DBS. It showed how institutions can process USD payments across jurisdictions during weekends. Previously, cross-border payments could take up to two business days.
However, the transaction took only minutes, removing delays linked to weekends and different time zones. Swift’s Digital Ledger synchronizes payment commitments between participating banks. Settlement still occurs through existing banking infrastructure rather than directly on the ledger.
The setup targets companies operating across different markets and time zones. It also allows corporate treasurers to move liquidity between entities and markets outside regular banking hours.
Tokenized Deposits Support Always-On Payments
The transaction comes as institutions examine blockchain-based tools for liquidity and foreign exchange management. According to DBS, 50% of finance leaders surveyed are exploring blockchain capabilities for those functions.
Meanwhile, outbound cross-border payments in Asia are projected to reach $24 trillion by 2033. That compares with $13.5 trillion in projected 2025 volumes, according to the DBS information provided.
Rachel Chew, DBS chief operating officer and co-head of Digital Assets, highlighted interoperability between banking systems and digital networks. Mridula Iyer, Citi’s head of Services for Asia South, said the transaction demonstrated weekend cross-border payments using Swift’s ledger.
DBS Expands Its Digital Asset Services
DBS launched DBS Token Services in 2024 as its suite of blockchain-powered banking services. The offering includes DBS Treasury Tokens for treasury and liquidity management. The bank uses a permissioned blockchain for its treasury token solution.
DBS also remains the only Asian-headquartered bank in Swift’s digital ledger core design group. The group includes 12 banks involved in shaping the ledger’s architecture. Meanwhile, the Sept. 5 transaction adds a live weekend payment to DBS and Citi’s work with tokenized deposits.
The transaction connected Singapore and the United States using Swift’s ledger for payment commitments. Settlement continued through existing banking infrastructure after the digital ledger process.

More than 35% of Bitcoin’s supply was accumulated at prices within or above the $76K-$82K supply zone.
Binance Open Interest fell below its 180-day average during Bitcoin’s sharpest deleveraging phase since 2023.
Mixed exchange flows leave $77K and $75.6K as key downside levels, while $80K-$82K remains the main upside zone.
Bitcoin is facing heavy supply between $76,000 and $82,000 as traders assess its next move, analyst Darkfost reported. More than 35% of Bitcoin’s total supply was accumulated at prices within or above that range. Meanwhile, the market has recorded its sharpest deleveraging phase since 2023.
Bitcoin Supply Meets Heavy Trading Activity
Darkfost identified the $76,000-$82,000 range as one of Bitcoin’s strongest supply distribution clusters. The battle around $80,000 has kept price within a broad area of concentrated supply.
Notably, Bitcoin recently traded around $78,400-$78,500 after falling from the $81,000-$82,000 area. The spot market also recorded large swings in exchange flows during early September.
On Sept. 3, net inflows reached roughly $165 million. Bitcoin then recovered from around $79,000 to above $81,000 during that move. However, the following day brought an outflow near $220 million. Bitcoin then reversed toward the $77,000-$78,000 region.
Binance Open Interest Falls After Deleveraging
The sharp market adjustment also affected Bitcoin futures positions. Binance’s open interest fell below its 180-day average during the deleveraging phase. Darkfost described the move as Bitcoin’s sharpest deleveraging since 2023.
The correction forced traders to close or liquidate positions after leverage had built up. Despite that decline, Binance still held about $9.6 billion in open interest. Its 180-day average stood near $8.3 billion.

Binance’s figure represents roughly 37% of Bitcoin’s total open interest. It also exceeds the level recorded during May’s recovery toward $82,000. Meanwhile, Darkfost said traders had already returned to the market following the correction. That return has increased futures activity while leverage remains elevated.
Spot Flows Remain Mixed Around $78K
Spot exchange flows became quieter from Sept. 5 onward. Most hourly readings stayed close to zero, although several negative spikes appeared around Sept. 7-8. Those outflows reached roughly $60 million to $80 million. Bitcoin also declined from around $80,000 toward $78,400 during the period.

The provided levels place $77,000 as the next downside area. A deeper decline could bring $75,600 into focus. Meanwhile, sustained inflows could support a move back toward $80,000-$82,000. The $76,000-$82,000 supply cluster remains the central price range.

/PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + "moonshots" holdings totaling $15.7 billion.
As of September 7, 2026 at 2:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,929,198 ETH at $2,495 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $91 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $593 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.0 million ETH).
"Since June 30th, 4 of the top 21 best performing stocks in the Russell 1000 are crypto-related equities. The outperformance is reflective of the fact that Ethereum is the best performing macro asset in Q3 so far. In our view, fund managers benchmarked to the Russell 1000 need to consider whether they have sufficient exposure to crypto given this group's outsized contribution to Russell 1000 gains this quarter. Notably, Bitmine's common stock is the 4th best performing with a gain of 99% compared to 3% for the Russell 1000 benchmark," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
Tom DeMark, founder of DeMark Analytics and a capital markets advisor to Bitmine is expecting ETH to make a sharp upward move in coming weeks. According to Tom DeMark, "In August, ETH moved sideways without a downside break and the 12-day metric expired, which implies a renewal of the upside move. We believe this further supports the continuation of the prior uptrend. We expect, last week's sharp one-day rally was a likely preview of the pending advance."
"As we enter the final month of calendar Q3 2026, ETH is the best performing macro asset during the quarter, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL," stated Lee. "We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in calendar Q3 so far."
"We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026," stated Lee. "These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-September. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI."
"This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains," continued Lee.
"Over the past week, we acquired 28,086 ETH. Bitmine's track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each and every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025," stated Lee.
On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is "ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth."
Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN has expanded to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.
As of September 7, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.6 billion at $2,495 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $386 million on an annualized basis (using 2.61% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.
"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $330 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 85% of the 5.93 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.61% (annualized)," continued Lee.
Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.10 billion (5-day average, as of September 4, 2026), ranking #81 in the US, behind Intuit Inc. (rank #80) and ahead of TJX Companies, Inc. (rank #82) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 840,447 BTC valued at approximately $66 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.
Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

LINK rallied 95% from $7 to $13.77, but the weekly TD Sequential now signals a potential sell setup.
Whale transactions above $1M fell from about 59 to 10, while 1.75M LINK moved onto exchanges.
LINK faces support at $12.50-$12.60, with $13.50-$13.70 resistance and weakening RSI and MACD momentum.
Chainlink is facing three warning signs after a 95% rally, according to analyst Ali Charts, as whale activity declines. LINK rose from nearly $7 to $13.77, while 1.75 million tokens moved onto exchanges. The latest market data shows LINK at $12.626 after rejection near $13.70, with momentum indicators turning weaker.
Whale Activity Drops as Exchange Deposits Rise
Ali Charts said the TD Sequential has flashed a sell signal on LINK’s weekly chart. The signal followed a 95% advance from about $7 to the recent $13.77 high. However, whale participation has also fallen sharply.
Transactions worth more than $1 million dropped from roughly 59 during the past two weeks to about 10 today. At the same time, 1.75 million LINK moved onto exchanges. Exchange balances increased from 269.25 million to roughly 271 million LINK. Ali Charts said the combined data points to a potential cooldown after LINK’s sharp advance.
LINK Pulls Back From September Rally
The latest price data shows LINK trading at $12.626, with the latest candle ranging between $12.617 and $12.682. Earlier, LINK climbed from around $11 to $11.50 before reaching nearly $13.65-$13.70 during the Sept. 6-7 rally.
Source: TradingView
Trading volume increased during the move above $12. However, rejection near $13.50-$13.70 brought profit-taking and pushed LINK toward $12.60. The RSI is at 41.97, below its moving average at 43.69.
It remains above 30, which leaves LINK outside oversold territory. The MACD has also turned bearish. Its line is near -0.067, while the signal line is around -0.041.
Key Support and Resistance Levels
LINK currently faces support around $12.50-$12.60, followed by $12.00 and roughly $11.50. On the upside, $13.00 represents the first level to reclaim. Above that, resistance is around $13.50-$13.70. A sustained move above $13.70 would open the next area higher, based on the provided technical levels.
Meanwhile, the 50-day moving average is near $12.39, while the 200-day moving average is around $11.24 and continues rising. The price remains above the longer-term average despite its latest pullback.

Binance led August XRP futures volume with $37B, followed by Bybit at $14.54B and OKX at $12.88B.
XRP rebounded from $1.00-$1.05 to nearly $1.58 before pulling back, with $1.35-$1.39 now key support.
Futures volume alone cannot reveal market direction, making funding rates and open interest crucial for assessing positioning.
XRP futures trading volume reached its highest level in six months during August, according to CryptoQuant. Binance recorded about $37 billion, while Bybit and OKX posted $14.54 billion and $12.88 billion. Combined volume across the three exchanges exceeded $64.6 billion as XRP recovered from about $1.00 to $1.05.
Binance Leads August Futures Activity
The August figures placed Binance first among the exchanges covered by the data. Bybit followed with approximately $14.54 billion in XRP futures volume, while OKX recorded about $12.88 billion. Together, the three exchanges handled more than $64.6 billion during the month.
Source: CryptoQuant
CryptoQuant said the increase followed a period of lower XRP futures trading activity. The rise also came as XRP posted stronger price performance during August. The token climbed from roughly $1.00-$1.05 to a late-August peak near $1.57-$1.58.
However, CryptoQuant noted that higher futures volume does not show whether traders favored long or short positions. Funding rates and open interest remain key measures for assessing the new derivatives activity.
XRP Rebounds While Activity Expands
XRP later pulled back to around $1.386, according to the provided market data. The price now sits slightly below the 50-day moving average, which is near $1.39. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving average is around $1.24 and continues to rise.
Source: Santiment
The $1.35-$1.39 area forms the nearest support range in the provided technical levels. Above the current price, XRP faces resistance around $1.43-$1.45. The larger resistance area extends from approximately $1.51 to $1.58.
The late-August move also coincided with a sharp rise in Daily Active Addresses. Activity reached nearly 938,000 addresses before falling toward approximately 86,900.
Futures Volume Meets Network Activity
The address count has cooled considerably from its August peak. Still, the latest reading accompanies the market data covering the futures increase. CryptoQuant said traders increased futures participation as they sought to trade XRP price movements and volatility.
However, volume alone cannot establish the market’s direction. The provided technical levels place $1.58 above the major resistance zone. A break above it would clear that area, while a move below $1.35 would expose $1.24.
