Bitcoin surged to 79,500 overnight, wiping out shorts by $700 million

This move directly broke through the long-term resistance at 65,000, jumping to a multi-month high of $79,491, then pulled back and consolidated around 77,000. It was up 6.4% in a day. Market cap has returned to $1.55 trillion. The total market cap of the entire crypto market is $2.63 trillion.

The shorts are in trouble. Coinglass data shows that in the past 24 hours, $709 million in short positions were liquidated. Total shorts liquidated across the market: $1.13 billion. Meanwhile, longs liquidated only $139 million. The gap is huge.

This wave narrowed Bitcoin’s year-to-date drawdown from nearly 30% down to 11.4%. The Fear & Greed Index jumped from 34 straight to 72—sentiment switched from fear to greed.

Most dramatically, Peter Schiff—who has spent years bashing Bitcoin—apparently reversed course. He said: gold at $4,600, silver near $70, and oil breaking above $87. If Bitcoin is now climbing to $79,000, it can only mean the Federal Reserve has lost credibility in suppressing inflation, and everyone is rushing to buy their own hedging assets.

Note: he personally admits that Bitcoin, just like gold, is being treated as a substitute for hedging against inflation. This is the first time this die-hard short has bowed.

My take: what I fear most isn’t a sudden surge—it’s after the big surge, when everyone starts shouting “it’s stable now.” That would be the real danger signal. At the 77,000 level, both longs and shorts are holding their breath.

A U.S. state plans to charge taxes on crypto transfers—exchanges directly flipped the table

Illinois has rolled out the first 0.2% digital-asset tax in the entire U.S. It takes effect on January 1, 2027. Every transaction, transfer, and custody arrangement will have to go through tax. What’s outrageous is that even if you buy nothing, sell nothing, and your wallet assets never move—just routing through a broker channel could still trigger taxes.

On August 21, the Blockchain Association and the Crypto Innovation Commission took it straight to court. The rationale hits hard: buying stocks is not taxed; transferring between personal accounts is not taxed; holding cash or gold is not taxed—so why does moving crypto assets from one place to another mean you have to pay taxes?

The bill’s origin is even more bizarre. The original version was just a two-page agricultural finance act. On May 31, it was forcefully stuffed into a 1,624-page package. The crypto tax accounts for fewer than 20 pages. The public only received the hearing notice an hour in advance, and within 24 hours both chambers rushed to pass it.

Even scarier: compliance mistakes could lead to criminal liability. Some companies have already been burning money hiring lawyers to modify their systems. Others are simply considering blacklisting Illinois customers altogether—no one wants to risk going to jail over a 0.2% tax.

This is already the second wave of lawsuits. Back in July, the Digital Commerce Chamber sued as well. Now two heavyweight industry associations are handing it off in turn.

My take: this isn’t “taxation”—it’s essentially putting the crypto industry on trial. State governments may be short on funds, but they can’t do this kind of grab. And especially not when a two-page bill overnight turns into 1,624 pages—what private agenda got stuffed in there in the middle is anyone’s guess.

Do you think the tax will ultimately be blocked by the courts? Let’s talk in the comments.

Bitcoin needs to cross this line to count as a true “bull return”

Galaxy Research has turned every bear market since 2011 inside out. The conclusion is very direct: Bitcoin’s 50-week moving average is the line that separates bulls from bears. Right now, this line is hovering around $82,470. Bitcoin’s price is about 77,000—still roughly 6% away.

The data is brutal. Historically, at the weekly timeframe, when price recovers the 50-week moving average, in 11 out of 13 cases it holds steady. But at the daily timeframe, when price recovers the 50-day moving average, 43 out of 106 times were fake moves. Even more telling: in every bear market cycle, the very first recovery of the 50-day moving average has always failed—without exception.

The most classic example is the 2013–2015 cycle. The 50-day moving average was crossed back and forth 13 times before the market truly bottomed. Some rallies managed to hold above it for nearly two months, only for price to drop back down again.

So Galaxy’s exact wording is: “A bottom must come with a recovery of the 50-day moving average—but recovery doesn’t mean the bottom is in.” If you want to confirm that June 30 is the bottom, you have to wait for the weekly close to stand above $82,000. Before that, all rallies can only be considered unconfirmed.

There’s a cost, too: confirmation often equals missing the move. In the three major bear markets, the first valid weekly recovery happened 130 to 284 days after the bottom was in—by then, the price had already risen 63% to 80%.

My take: the biggest value of this kind of technical signal isn’t helping you time the bottom precisely. It’s helping you hold your hands—don’t go all-in on unconfirmed rallies. And don’t chase higher just because you’re afraid of missing out.

Do you trust the weekly chart or the daily chart? Is this a false breakout or a real reversal? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Ripple下场搞借贷 让RLUSD去赚实业的钱

Ripple联合Clearpool和Cicada Partners 要在XRP Ledger上搞一个机构级借贷市场 主角是稳定币RLUSD

Clearpool负责搭建借贷基础设施 这家公司2021年以来已经做了超9.3亿美元的机构贷款 Cicada负责找借款人和管信贷 它承销过超8.6亿美元 Ripple出钱当LP 和其他投资人平起平坐 但不兜底

这个项目的目标很直白 把DeFi收益从炒来炒去变成真正的企业信贷利息

现在DeFi里98%的收益来自什么 循环贷 套利 基差交易 流动性激励 说白了都是市场机制在空转 真正的实体经济借贷少得可怜

这套新玩法 是让金融科技公司 支付公司 加密企业用RLUSD借真钱 还真利息 借款方就是那些已经在用稳定币做金库和跨境业务的支付公司 链上借贷和真实需求直接挂钩

对出借人来说 收益来自借款人的利息而不是市场激励 对借款人来说 多了一个机构级资金来源 结算还留在链上 双赢的逻辑很清晰

不过别急着兴奋 这还没上线 现在Clearpool在Devnet上测试 真正跑起来还要等XLS-65和XLS-66两个提案通过XRPL治理投票 这俩是借贷协议和单资产金库的核心架构

系统还用了Permissioned Domains Credentials Clawback这些XRP Ledger原生功能 只有验证过的参与者能进 合规性拉满

这个项目如果跑通 意义在于XRP Ledger不再只是支付网络 它要杀进链上私人信贷 这可是代币化金融里增长最快的赛道之一

从支付到借贷 从炒币到实业 RWA的路子越走越宽 你觉得这套能成吗 评论区聊聊 我看好 但先等治理投票过了再说

Grayscale Names the Top Three Public Chains—Says SEC New Rules Will Send “Goodies”

Grayscale’s research head Zach Pandl released an analysis that directly called out ETH, SOL, and our BNB Chain, saying they could become beneficiaries of the SEC’s new rules.

This analysis targets the SEC’s Regulation of Crypto Assets proposal submitted on August 18. Its core idea is to loosen funding arrangements for tokens.

The proposal offers two routes: one allows up to $5 million in fundraising within four years; the other allows up to $75 million every 12 months. Those pursuing the larger fundraising path must submit more disclosure materials—financial statements and regular reports must keep up.

The most significant part is a “safe harbor” provision. Crypto assets that meet the conditions can be exempted from being categorized as “investment contract” securities, meaning they would no longer fall under federal securities laws. In effect, it leaves project teams a lifeline.

Pandl’s logic is simple: if the new rules can stimulate more token issuance activity, they will bring more U.S. issuers and investors onto the chain. Value will naturally flow back to the underlying public chains and their native tokens, including ETH, SOL, and BNB.

In reality, Grayscale’s analysis is saying that regulatory clarity itself creates value. In the past, projects were forced to issue overseas. Now that there’s a clear pathway, why keep wandering abroad?

Of course, take it with a grain of salt. The analysis repeatedly emphasizes that this is a proposal, not a final ruling. The final rules may change. And even if network activity rises, it doesn’t necessarily mean the token price will go up—risks are still there.

Still, the direction is clear. If Reg Crypto actually becomes law and the U.S. crypto financing market reopens, it could be one of the engines driving the next bull cycle for public-chain ecosystems.

Here’s the question: if it really gets implemented, who stands to benefit the most? Comment below—I’ll go first: I’m putting my bet on BNB Chain. Don’t ask—it's called “sentiment.”

HMRC sends 81,000 encrypted tax notices to crypto investors — be careful, folks

Over the past 12 months, the UK’s tax authority, HMRC, sent 81,000 warning letters to cryptocurrency investors—up 25% from the previous year.

How outrageous is that? In the 2023–2024 fiscal year, it sent only 27,000 letters. The number has been rising year by year, and it’s now on track to hit 80,000. Clearly, they’re targeting that segment of the market.

These letters are called “nudge letters.” They give you a chance to proactively pay the tax you owe—don’t wait until a formal investigation shows up. Translation into plain English: confess and be lenient; resist and face consequences.

Accounting firm UHY Hacker Young obtained the data via a Freedom of Information request. Their partner, Neela Chauhan, put it more bluntly: tax authorities generally believe cryptocurrency investing is rife with tax evasion.

Many people have a misconception that the only “transaction” is exchanging coins for pounds. Actually, swapping one coin for another, using coins to buy things, and even gifting coins—all count as disposals. All of them must be reported for tax purposes.

Even more painful: you think that using offshore exchanges means no one can see. Wrong. UK residents must pay tax on worldwide income, and profits from overseas platforms are just as unavoidable.

Starting in April 2027, there will be additional moves. DeFi actions like crypto lending and automated market making won’t trigger capital gains tax until after a true disposal. This could affect around 700,000 people. It’s meant to “loosen the reins” for DeFi—but the taxes you owe won’t be waived.

There’s also a global reporting framework. By 2027, 52 jurisdictions will provide HMRC with crypto transaction data for UK residents. In 2028, another 15 will be added. The “cover” from offshore exchanges will be gone for good.

In plain terms, global tax transparency is the clear trend. Everything you do on-chain will eventually come under the tax authority’s scrutiny.

Don’t rely on wishful thinking. Compliance is the long-term way forward. Have you filed your taxes? Let’s chat in the comments—I’ll start by admitting: I haven’t even seen what a tax notice looks like.

Legendary investor Druckenmiller charges into the crypto market—once he makes a move, he buys $88 million

A Wall Street legendary investor and Soros’s protégé, Stanley Druckenmiller, is also here in crypto

The latest 13F filing shows that in Q2 his Duquesne family office initiated a position in Bitcoin miner Bitdeer, buying 4.1 million shares worth $64.7 million at an average price of $12.26—immediately becoming one of the largest holdings in his AI and digital asset portfolio

Even better, he also bought 2.3 million shares of Hyperliquid Strategies—i.e., PURR—spending $23.1 million. The company is essentially a HYPE vault, providing U.S. institutions a channel to indirectly hold HYPE

Together, the two deals total more than $88 million. For ordinary people, it’s astronomical. For this big shot, it’s only a toe-dip

He’s not fighting alone. Jane Street and Citadel also increased their stakes in Bitdeer significantly this quarter. Jane Street alone holds over $112 million—almost all of it bought in Q2

Why have these big names collectively set their sights on Bitdeer? Because it’s not just a mining company. It also signed a $4.7 billion AI compute order from Norway’s Tydal data center for 16 years, and it’s building a factory in Nevada. Next month, it will produce 10,000 Sealminer mining rigs—walking on both legs: mining plus AI

PURR is even more dramatic. After Trump publicly said the CFTC is pushing Hyperliquid’s compliance to enter the U.S., HYPE surged to a historic high. PURR followed with a jump of 20%. BlackRock, State Street, and Citadel have all added as well

The big shots are moving in unison—the signal is very clear: traditional capital is entering the crypto arena the way it does with U.S. stocks, via an indirect route

They used to say crypto is a scam. Now they “vote” with 13F filings—real money and real conviction, far more honest than stubborn talk

So is this a big shot’s bargain buy, or the start of a new round of bag-holding? Chat in the comments. Either way, Wall Street’s quarterly reports are more trustworthy than any analyst’s mouth

ZEC soars 47% in one day—privacy coin sector completely goes wild

August 22 — Privacy coin Zcash jumps 47% in a single day, once surging to $836. Even as it pulls back, it stays around $810, becoming the best performer of the entire session.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) follows up, rising 31% to break above $299. Cardano (ADA) is up 19%, Dogecoin (DOGE) up 17.7%, Stellar (XLM) up 16%, Chainlink (LINK) up 13%, and even “HYPE” joins the party, surging 12%.

This run isn’t a positive catalyst for a single project—it’s a broad rally. The whole market is green. It feels more like a liquidity injection than anything like project-specific news.

Why is ZEC so strong? The key driving force is Grayscale. Grayscale has applied to convert its Zcash trust into a spot ETF. If approved, this would become the first U.S. privacy-coin ETF. The upside imagination is unlimited.

This narrative has been brewing since early August. Back then, ZEC surged to $686, then hit a wave of coordinated selling—an estimated $28 million in daily liquidations, washing out the market—before continuing higher.

Now ZEC’s market cap is nearing $10.8 billion. A year ago it drew little attention. Now it’s become the best-looking coin in the crypto market. All I can say is: when you tell a good story, people are willing to buy.

Ethereum is also up this week by 18%, once breaking above $2,250. Overall, the main theme of this altcoin-led rally comes down to two things: the Treasury’s share-buyback “water release,” plus the market’s expectations for regulatory clarity under the Clarity bill.

But don’t get too excited. Analysts warn that this kind of broad-based rally is often accompanied by high leverage— the faster it rises, the scarier the pullback can be afterward. Leverage is a double-edged sword: it magnifies not only returns, but also risk.

The good news is that trading volume is rising in sync, suggesting this rally has real buy-side support—not a false breakout caused by weekend liquidity drying up.

Privacy-coin ETFs with looser U.S. regulation, easier liquidity, and three lines stacking together—you decide which side you’re on.

Chat in the comments: Is this ZEC move about value discovery or emotional/speculative trading? I’ll say it first—I choose to watch and join the conversation, but I’m quietly paying attention.

Bitcoin surges by $10,000 in a week—$3 billion worth of shorts liquidated

Over the past seven days, Bitcoin jumped straight from around 67,000 to above 77,000, gaining $10,000 in a single week. Intraday, it even briefly touched 79,500, setting a new high since May.

The trigger was the U.S. Department of the Treasury pulling out a big move: it raised the cap on the long-term Treasury securities buyback/repo program from $2 billion to $4 billion—effectively injecting more liquidity into the market. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note promptly fell by 6 basis points, while the 30-year fell by 9 basis points.

With more money in the system, a scarce asset like Bitcoin was the first to rush in. Bernstein analyst directly pointed out that the strongest catalyst for this breakout rally was the Treasury’s repo program for long-dated bonds.

Amid the surge, shorts became the biggest victims. In 24 hours, the entire market saw roughly $3 billion in liquidations. About 172,000 short sellers were forced to close positions. This was the most brutal short squeeze since 2021—directly breaking the record set on Oct. 24 last year of 2.47 billion.

At one point, Bitcoin surged by 11% in a single day. The more shorts got squeezed, the higher the price climbed; the higher the price climbed, the more shorts got squeezed—a classic short-squeeze spiral.

And this rally also got a policy assist. Within the same time window, Trump publicly urged Congress to advance the Clarity Act, and he held a meeting at the White House with CEOs of major firms such as Coinbase and Robinhood. Although no specific policy was announced, the stance was made very clear.

Now, the entire market’s focus is on the $80,000 level. There’s only one step left to full recovery—break through it, and Bitcoin would stand above $80,000 for the first time since May.

With looser liquidity and improving regulation, two engines are firing at the same time. This run is driven purely by a macro narrative.

The question is: will you push through the $80,000 level?

Drop a comment in the comment section—are we breaking above $80,000 and opening up new room, or is it another round of a high and then a pullback? Anyway, I’m ready for the drama.

HYPE breaks records, rockets to 82, but big institutions are quietly moving coins

Hyperliquid’s token HYPE has just hit a historic high, surging to $82. It jumped 38% in a week, and its market cap reached $17.17 billion. Daily trading volume topped $2 billion.

But behind the hype, there’s a detail that’s hard to ignore. Well-known venture capital firm Multicoin Capital watches the price hit new highs while constantly transferring HYPE into Coinbase Prime.

Just on August 20 alone, the associated wallets sent three transfers totaling 309,000 tokens, 173,000 tokens, and 62,700 tokens—worth over $34 million in total.

By the math, since February this year, the firm has moved more than $100 million worth of HYPE into Coinbase Prime. This is one of its largest crypto liquidity positions.

Why watch this? Because historical data shows that when it comes to large inflows like these in July, they’re often followed by an HYPE price pullback of around 8%. The market has already learned to monitor their wallets.

Even more subtly, Multicoin itself published a valuation report back in June saying that HYPE’s target price for 2028 is $319. They’re pitching bullish views while moving coins at the same time—an approach that has left many people scratching their heads.

Of course, Hyperliquid also has its own hedging tools. The protocol uses nearly 99% of the fee revenue from perpetuals and spot to repurchase HYPE. Over the past 12 months, it has earned $896 million, giving it plenty of buyback ammunition.

Add to that the fact that Trump previously publicly called out the idea that the CFTC is pushing Hyperliquid toward regulatory compliance for entry into the U.S. The moment the news broke, HYPE jumped 25% in a day—even CZ said it was a win for the whole industry.

So now the situation is this: the buyback machine is running at full throttle, while institutions are unloading to exchanges. Two forces are fighting in opposite directions.

One side has policy tailwinds, the other has big holders selling. Do you think this new-high move in HYPE can hold?

Drop by the comments. I’ve got my little folding stool ready—checking wallet data is a lot more interesting than just watching the candlesticks.

Wall Street goes on a five-day buying spree, snapping up $1.92 billion in Bitcoin ETFs—pure chaos

Friday closed entirely green again. Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $307 million, completing five consecutive trading days of net inflows. In total over five days, that’s $1.92 billion. The pace is a little frightening.

BlackRock’s IBIT alone contributed $239 million, accounting for 77% of that day’s inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $30.19 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust brought in $13.62 million. Bitwise’s BITB: $9.21 million. Even Morgan Stanley’s MSBT is buying.

The key point: zero outflows. All seven Bitcoin ETFs posted net inflows—no redemptions at all. This is a picture that would have been unthinkable last month.

Ethereum ETFs are also on a five-day winning streak. On Friday they pulled in another $185 million, bringing the weekly total to $697 million. BlackRock’s ETHA dominates with 82%, and that comes to 1.5083 million shares—wait, that’s $150.83 million.

XRP and SOL ETFs also aren’t idle. XRP attracted $18.38 million, and SOL added $10.07 million. With both of them getting swept up by institutions, it shows this isn’t a single-asset move. The whole sector is being repriced.

Total assets in Bitcoin ETFs have already hit $96.07 billion. Just one step away from the $100 billion threshold. Daily trading volume is $6.37 billion. This doesn’t look like a bear market at all.

A month ago, BTC was still sitting around 63,000. Everyone kept saying ETFs were the bag-holder. Now they’ve gone on a frenzy for $192 million over five days—boom, slap in the face. Institutions aren’t not buying; they’re waiting for discounts.

Behind this buying wave is a liquidity logic: the U.S. Treasury doubled the limit on long-term Treasury buybacks to $4 billion. There’s more money in the market now. Bitcoin, as a hedging tool, gets to take the first bite.

Now the only suspense is whether the $100 billion mark can be taken in one go. At this inflow pace, the jump from $96 to $100 billion could take just three or four days.

Have you been following this wave, or are you still watching from the sidelines?

Chat in the comments—how many more days do you think ETF inflows can last? My guess: at least five days. Don’t ask me why—just ask why: Wall Street is voting with real money.

Miners are going crazy, throwing money at AI—spending 15 yuan to earn back 1 yuan. Is this reckless or farsighted?

A new report from BlocksBridge pulls back the curtain on what miners are really like: 15 mining companies plus AI data-center firms. In the latest quarter alone, they collectively splurged $30.7 billion on equipment—42.6% more than the $21.53 billion they spent across all of 2025.

What’s most painful is the input-output ratio. In the first half, 9 comparable mining companies spent $5.11 billion on assets, but the disclosed AI and high-performance computing (HPC) revenue was only $341.2 million—15 to 1. Spend 15 yuan, get back 1 yuan.

But don’t rush to laugh. Revenue growth is actually pretty strong. In Q2, AI and HPC revenue hit $205.8 million, up 52% quarter-over-quarter. Core Scientific, TeraWulf, and Bitdeer are all rising.

The problem is: you can’t just plug in and start making money to “transition to AI.” Miners already have power and land, which looks like an advantage. But turning a mining site into an AI facility means building data-center infrastructure—power substations, buildings, cooling systems, networking equipment—and sometimes installing GPUs too. It’s a bottomless pit of spending.

In plain terms, miners are making a heavyweight bet on the AI boom. If the AI story takes off, they get in early and feast. But if the AI narrative cools off, that $30.7 billion in equipment and power infrastructure becomes the next generation of “GPU graveyard.”

What’s interesting is that CoinShares this week directly changed its strategy for its mining ETF. It renamed it WGMI and expanded holdings from pure miners to data centers, chips, AI semiconductors, and power—29 underlying targets. It’s basically telling the market: mining is dead, and AI is the way forward.

This time, Bitcoin has risen from 63,000 to 77,000—apparently giving pure mining businesses a breath of life. But miners clearly aren’t satisfied with living off the coin price alone. The whole industry is now slapping “AI” onto everything.

A capex-to-revenue ratio of 15 to 1 is insane in any industry. But that’s how cyclical industries place bets: trade today’s losses for tomorrow’s ticket.

So the question is: do you think miners moving into AI is foresight or just following the trend? Will this bet ultimately pay off?

Drop your thoughts in the comments. I’ll go first—anyway, the people buying GPUs like me… I’m already afraid to look at my account.

South Korea is cracking down on unlicensed encryption platforms, as FIU’s powers expand

A lawmaker from the People’s Power Party of South Korea, Eom Tae-young, has teamed up with nine colleagues to submit a bill. The aim is to give South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) new tools—specifically, authority to directly investigate unlicensed encryption-related businesses.

Under the current rules, the FIU can only refer suspicious platforms to the police; it cannot investigate them itself. You know how that goes—efficiency is, well… let’s just say it’s not great.

The data speaks for itself: from August 2022 to August 2025, the FIU handed 25 unlicensed virtual asset service providers to the police. In 23 of those cases, the investigations were put on hold, with the main reason being that the companies are overseas and therefore out of reach.

If the new bill passes, anyone who discovers violations can report them to the FIU. The FIU can then initiate case investigations and analysis on its own, directly file complaints with relevant departments, and even require criminal investigations. In short, its powers would shift from being a “messenger” to becoming a full-fledged enforcement authority.

As of June, there were only 28 crypto service providers registered in South Korea, while the FIU has already handed 40 suspected illegal operators over for investigation. The number of unlicensed “wild” platforms is even higher than the number of legitimate players.

This move is essentially patching loopholes. Previously, the FIU could only pass the baton. Now it wants the baton—and the sword. South Korea’s logic is clear: crack down on unlicensed activity first, and then talk about innovation. The compliance threshold will only keep getting higher.

For ordinary players, the message is simple: make sure your transactions go through licensed platforms. For those shady services with unclear origins, if one day they get shut down, your money won’t even have a place to go for recourse—no room to cry.

South Korea has long been an early adopter in crypto regulation in Asia. From实名制 (real-name registration) to the Travel Rule, every step has been ahead of the curve. Expanding the FIU’s authority this time will very likely become a reference template for other countries as well.

The bill is still in the proposal stage and must pass the National Assembly, but the direction is already clear. The good days for operating without a license are coming to an end.

Do you think this kind of tighter regulation is a good thing or a bad thing? Chat with us in the comments. Either way, for those of us who trade through proper channels, the cleaner the market, the safer it is.

Bitcoin Reclaims Above the 200-Day Moving Average After 9 Months—Bear Market Clouds May Be Clearing

On Thursday, Barchart’s market watch found that the price of Bitcoin has climbed above the 200-day moving average. This is the first time since November 2025. Back then, the price had just set a new all-time high of $126,000

What does the 200-day moving average mean? It’s the line that separates long-term trends. Once price goes above it, bullish sentiment surges. If it breaks below it, people tend to step aside. This breakout is essentially the first funeral bell for a months-long downtrend.

On Thursday, the coin briefly surged to nearly $73,000. For the week so far, it is up more than 13%. The catalyst was a move announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on Wednesday: the scale of long-term Treasury bond repurchases will be at least doubled. The per-operation cap increased from $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion, effective September 9.

The Treasury’s action directly suppresses long-end yields, and risk assets rally across the board. Bitcoin takes off right along with them. Standard Chartered’s Kendrick was even more blunt, saying these buybacks could push Bitcoin to $100,000 by year-end.

The logic isn’t complicated: Treasury buybacks release liquidity, and the money has to find somewhere to go. As the most sensitive risk asset, Bitcoin runs first.

But there’s one thing you need to watch: moving above the 200-day moving average is just the beginning. The key is whether it can hold. Historically, there have been plenty of false breakouts—each time a big bullish candle lures people in, and then a pullback slaps them in the face.

Bitcoin still has a long way to go before reaching its all-time high of $126,000. However, the reversal signal is already flashing. Next, the focus will be whether the market can defend the moving average during pullbacks. If it holds, then the trend can be considered truly stable.

Behind this rally, it’s actually macro driving the move—not a story unique to the crypto world. Treasury liquidity expansion lifts both U.S. stocks and Bitcoin. If you only look at the candlestick chart, it’s easy to miss the real drivers.

Do you think Bitcoin can hold above the 200-day moving average? Is $100,000 still in play by year-end? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Saylor’s strategy is back in the black: Bitcoin vault exits the underwater zone

On Friday, Bitcoin surged to $77,000, the highest level since May 26. Over just two days it jumped 20%, pulling Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury directly out of deep water.

The numbers are very clear: this global’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury holds 840,447 BTC at a cost basis of $75,385. With the coin price now above the break-even line, the paper profit for the year is about $450 million.

Bear in mind, back in early August they were being mocked across the internet. At that time, Bitcoin had fallen through $63,000, and the vault was in terrifying unrealized losses. The market was full of doubts—some even worried this company’s Bitcoin thesis couldn’t hold.

More dramatically, between August 3 and 9, they sold 1,690 BTC, and used the proceeds to repurchase 1.15 million shares of STRC preferred stock, spending $108.6 million. This was the company’s fourth time selling BTC in 2026—at the time, they were blasted as surrendering.

Then this price surge came in. It turned mockery into a slap in the face. Analyst Clemente put it plainly: Saylor daring to sell BTC to repurchase preferred stock already proves the company’s confidence. Now that the price is climbing, the vault’s collateral ratio is higher and more stable.

New CEO Phong Le even said at the beginning of the month they would resume buying Bitcoin before year-end. Judging from this trend, he may not even need to wait until then.

There’s also an on-chain detail: below $68,000, a new support layer has formed. Over the past 11 weeks, 2.23 million BTC changed hands in that range—about 11% of the total supply. This is currently the densest cost cluster. If the market pulls back to this level, there will be a lot of willing buyers waiting to pick up.

In plain terms, Strategy’s game plan is to use financing from the stock market to stockpile Bitcoin in the company’s vault. When the price rises, the stock rises—making financing easier—then the cycle continues. In a bull market, this spiral is a perpetual-motion machine; in a bear market, it’s a meat grinder. It all depends on which side the coin price stands.

Now the question is: after $77,000 holds, will they really resume buying Bitcoin before year-end? If that buy pressure comes, shorts will have to line up to cry.

Do you think this company is the most坚定信仰 in the crypto community, or the master of financial engineering? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Two ETH whale ‘runaways’ slip out on the same day, $63 million dumped into the market

On August 21, on-chain tracking tools kept triggering back-to-back alerts. A well-known whale, 7 Siblings, and a mysterious wallet together dumped a total of $63 million worth of ETH and staked ETH within a few hours.

First, the main character: 7 Siblings directly sold 14,000 ETH, cashing out $32.85 million at an average price of $2,346.

This guy has long been an on-chain veteran—since 2024, analysts have been monitoring him. His style is very consistent: he buys the dip when the market drops, then makes large-scale exits when prices rise. At the peak, he allegedly held around 1.15 million ETH worth about $2.8 billion—definitely an ETH billionaire.

Back in August 2025, he even made the news for transferring $47 million to a new wallet and selling it all within minutes. This time the playbook is identical—pure routine, not panic.

The second wallet, 0xFD10, sold 11,252 stETH plus 1,824 ETH, receiving $30.78 million USDT in return. This wallet hasn’t previously been tracked in detail, and its motivation remains a mystery.

ETH is still hovering around 2,350, up from about 2,286 a few hours ago. That suggests the market managed to withstand these two major sell-offs—there wasn’t a free fall.

Even more interesting is the group behavior behind this. Earlier this month, a whale cut losses after staking for three years, taking a single loss of $19 million. In May, another wallet sold 55,000 ETH plus 9,442 wstETH in one go, cashing out $136 million.

Long-term holders and swing traders are both trimming positions as rebounds and price stabilization present opportunities. These people say they believe in the project—but their actions are very honest.

But look at what 7 Siblings did: buy when it drops, sell when it rises. They’re treating ETH like an ATM—using it with full clarity.

For retail investors, a whale unloading isn’t necessarily the end of the world. In the past, these wallets often sell off and then buy back again. What really matters is the 2,300 level: if it breaks down, the 2,000 handle is already beckoning. If it holds, then today’s two moves are just routine profit-taking.

Do you think this is locking in gains—or a signal before more selling? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Coinbase CEO Makes a Statement: Crypto Regulation Can’t Be Dodged This Time

Brian Armstrong steps out to steady the market, saying regulatory clarity will come no matter what. Two paths—pick one.

First: On September 15, the Senate will take a procedural vote on the CLARITY bill. Sixty votes are needed to move it forward. The Republicans hold 53 seats—so they must bring at least seven Democratic lawmakers aboard.

Second: If the bill doesn’t make it, on September 16 the CFTC and the SEC will directly issue new rules themselves. The regulators simply don’t want to wait for Congress anymore.

If the bill doesn’t reach 60 votes, it’s not the same as a death sentence—but getting it through this year is basically out of the question. Democrats want stricter ethics provisions and rules for reviewing capital-flow direction. Republicans want certainty. Tug-of-war on both sides has been going on for days, not weeks.

CFTC Chair Selig is already having his team build a crypto-asset market registration category—similar to the existing framework for designated contract markets. Even without new legislation, it can be used. Since January, the SEC and CFTC have been working on Project Crypto. In March, they jointly released an interpretive framework that split digital assets into five categories.

In short: if Congress won’t do the work, regulators will just handle it themselves. In any case, they decide the licensing and the rules.

Armstrong also tossed out a bigger prediction, saying that by 2030 Bitcoin could reach $300,000 to $400,000. The logic is pretty straightforward: institutions adopt as prices rise; supply is fixed; and regulatory clarity keeps increasing.

This guy is a typical hype-driven CEO—calling for regulation to land while quadrupling his coin-price target. But you know what? His thinking is actually right. What the crypto industry has been missing isn’t technology—it’s certainty. Only when rules are implemented will capital be willing to move in at scale.

The question is: do you think those 60 votes can be assembled on September 15? If they can’t be, will the September 16 regulatory rules be a positive or a negative? Hard to say. Sometimes when rules finally land, it’s actually “bad news is gone.”

In the comments, let’s discuss: are you on the side of the Senate, or on the side of the CFTC?

Bitcoin Approaches $80,000 as Wall Street Calls for a $500,000 Target

This week, VanEck Digital Assets Research Chief Matthew Sigel made a bold statement on television: in 2027, he expects $100,000, and in 2029, $500,000—each call more daring than the last.

He said these targets haven’t changed since April, when the coin was only around 68,500. Now Bitcoin has already touched 79,000—just one more breath away from 80,000.

Behind the $500,000 long-term target, there’s actually a major premise: the U.S. Treasury’s Bitcoin legislation, which would require the government to stockpile 1 million BTC by 2029—about 4.8% of total supply.

If sovereign nations really jump in and hoard coins, it becomes a self-reinforcing demand loop: the government buys Bitcoin and endorses it as a reserve asset, and other sovereign countries follow. That story is definitely easy to sell.

The funny part is that VanEck’s own recent data tells a different story. In its mid-August Chaincheck report, 8 out of 12 “surrender” signals lit up. Over the past 30 days, long-term holders sold 356,000 BTC. The percentage of coins held dropped below 60%—the first time in months.

Their own indicators are saying “capitulation,” while their analyst is calling for $500,000. It’s a typical day in Wall Street: bullish and bearish are often just speaking with the same mouth.

That said, Sigel also reposted Bernstein’s view: the four-year halving cycle has become ineffective. Continuous institutional buying through ETFs offsets retail panic selling. Bernstein expects 150,000 by year-end, with a cycle peak of 200,000.

In plain terms, this bull run has shifted from a retail-driven narrative to an institutional “set-and-forget” investment story. Whether the cycle is still intact is not something astrology can decide—data does.

One detail worth noting: when a bunch of capitulation signals have historically lit up at the same time, the returns over the next 90 or 180 days were actually below average. This suggests the indicator is good at flagging risk, but not at calling bottoms or tops.

So the question is: Can Bitcoin break through the $80,000 level in one go? Do you believe Sigel’s $500,000, or Chaincheck’s 8 capitulation signals?

In the comments, pick a side. I’ll grab a little seat first—let’s see who gets slapped in the face first.

Bitcoin ETF wows with a one-day net inflow of $827 million—institutions are back

Thursday’s data absolutely blew the roof off: Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $606 million. Ethereum ETFs pulled in another $221 million. Combined, that’s $827 million—marking the strongest single day of the week.

BlackRock’s IBIT alone gobbled up $503 million, accounting for 82% of that day’s inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $64.74 million. Bitwise’s BITB added $26.39 million. Even ETFs for SOL, XRP, and HYPE rode the wave—everything was in the green across the board.

Total assets in Bitcoin ETFs have already climbed to $90.16 billion. Daily trading volume hit $5.41 billion. This doesn’t look anything like a bear market.

What’s even more interesting is this: a few days ago, when the coin price was stuck around 63,000, lots of people were saying institutions had fled—“nobody wants the ETFs.” Now the price is back to 77,000, and the money has all come back too—on time, like an alarm clock.

Institutions never really “run.” They just go silent when prices drop, and swipe their cards when prices rise.

From 63,000 to 77,000 in just two days—that’s up 20%. The reason is simple: ETF capital has been buying relentlessly. Retail investors are still debating whether to chase the rally, but institutions have already swept up the discounted shares.

They said ETFs are just a “bag-holder” tool—turns out they’re more like a money-printing machine, dumping real cash into it every day.

BlackRock’s 82% share is also wild—it's like the entire market is watching its every move. The moment it stops, the market will need to catch its breath. This concentration can be dressed up as “consensus,” or—more bluntly—as a “single point of failure.”

The question now is straightforward: how long can these inflows last? Since August began, total net ETF inflows are already close to $2 billion. At this pace, breaking $100 billion in total assets before year-end doesn’t sound like a dream.

Are you waiting for a pullback—or have you already boarded the train?

Drop your thoughts in the comments: how many more days do you think this ETF buying wave can hold up? Anyway, I’m getting my little folding chair ready to watch the show.

Bitcoin surges to 77,000—analysts are at each other’s throats

How strong has Bitcoin been this week? In one breath, it shot up from just over 60,000 to 77,000—its weekly gain is the best since 2023. Shorts have been blown up so badly they’re questioning their own lives. Single-day liquidations surpassed $1 billion. But right when things are getting this intense, Wall Street analysts started fighting first.

What are they arguing about? Whether this is the start of a new bull market, or just a last flicker of strength during a bear market.

The bulls’ camp is beating their chests, saying: “Just force the shorts to cover—pull the market up hard.” In history, this script has always been a classic bottoming signal. Look at past cycles—where was the bottom not preceded by a sharp surge that cleared out the shorts? The data is also on their side. As liquidation amounts explode across the network, shorts are wiped out everywhere, and market sentiment swings directly from rock-bottom to recovery.

The bears aren’t taking it lying down either. They argue: “It’s not enough to enjoy the upside. Macro risks are still hanging in the air. The interest-rate path is unclear. Economic data is still wobbling. A rally pushed up mainly by short-covering may not have solid foundations. If macro delivers a big bearish candle, whatever is up will fall just as fast.”

Both sides have a point. This is the market’s normal state. Disagreement only becomes dangerous when there is none—if the disagreement is bigger, it means the direction hasn’t been fully priced in yet. No one can guarantee how things will play out in the short term. But one thing is certain: this move has fully repaired Bitcoin’s weekly chart pattern. Technically, once it holds above 77,000, the room for upside can truly open up.

My view: don’t rush to pick a side. Watch trading volume and the ongoing inflows of ETF funds. If incremental capital is truly coming in, then this is a real bull-market comeback. If it’s just a fireworks show from short-covering, then once the spectacle is over, reality will reassert itself. The data will speak—let the bullets fly a bit longer.

Do you think this is a bull market reboot or a bear market bounce? Drop your take in the comments and tell us why.
