🔴 FSB placed Pavel Durov under international arrest warrant

The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has been placed under international arrest warrant for aiding terrorism, report media citing the Russian FSB.

According to the FSB, Ukrainian special services allegedly used Telegram chat bots to recruit Russian citizens. The agency claims that the Telegram administration did not remove the service after it was added to the registry of banned resources, which became the basis for the charges.

At the time of publication, no official comments from Pavel Durov had been received.

🌕 CZ-owned Trust Wallet launches AI agents that can execute crypto trades

The digital wallet owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which has more than 220 million customers, said Thursday that users can now employ artificial intelligence-powered agents to perform a variety of crypto transactions.

"Today, Trust Wallet launches the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK) — infrastructure that lets AI agents execute real crypto transactions, across more than 25 blockchains, within rules that users define and control," the company said in a blog post. The agents can handle cross-chain swaps across several networks, including Solana and Bitcoin, in addition to managing recurring buys.

Crypto firms are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered automation, aiming to allow users to enlist agents that can actively manage portfolios and execute trades.

The new toolkit offers two ways to operate, one where the AI agent has its own wallet and can execute trades automatically based on set rules, and the other where it suggests transactions that users then need to approve.

"Trust Wallet has always been built on a single principle: your keys, your crypto. TWAK extends that principle into the age of AI agents," also according to the blog post. "With WalletConnect mode, an AI can help you act on your portfolio — research, propose, execute — without ever holding your keys. You stay in control."

While the cryptocurrency exchange initially bought Trust Wallet in 2018, it now operates as an independent company.

🤔Will the bull market start on September 15?

SEC Chair Paul Atkins expects the Clarity Act to be passed on September 15 🔜

This would be a good step to bring crypto companies back to the US, which the previous administration effectively pushed abroad.

However, it is worth remembering that the next day (September 16) is expected to be the day of the Fed meeting, which also strongly affects the markets 🕯

🚀 Bitcoin (BTC) at a Crossroads: Is the Next Leg to $80K Loading?

The largest and dominant asset, Bitcoin (BTC), is trading at $77,578 with a 24-hour range of $76,297 to $77,830 and a seven-day range stretching from $76,297 to $81,281. Also, its volume sits at $26.79 billion. The bounce from $76K is significant.

$79,500 is the resistance BTC has failed to properly reclaim multiple times since breaking above $80K. Every attempt has been met with sellers defending that level. Until it breaks $79.5K and holds it on the 4-hour chart, the recovery stays unconfirmed.

A head and shoulders pattern has formed on the recent timeframe. Price has already lost the neckline and is now attempting a retest. A rejection at the neckline opens the door toward $71K. The setup gets invalidated only if Bitcoin reclaims the neckline and holds above it.

🔸 The BTC Price Levels That Decide Everything Ahead

The $79,500 zone is the resistance that needs to be broken. A clean 4-hour close above it makes $80K easier to take out, with $81K–$82K as the next targets above that. The descending trendline near $80K has been tested multiple times and continues to act as a strong barrier.

Moreover, $76K is the support that needs to hold. Lose it, and the chart starts looking considerably less comfortable. Below $76K, the watch zone drops to $72K–$70K, where the next crucial support sits.

For the short-term correction, the $75,800 level represents a buying opportunity with DCA in the $75,000 range. A drop to $73K signals a sharper decline in the cycle, with long-term expectations pointing to $68,000 in that case.

The biggest selling zone in the current setup sits at $83,000–$85,000, a more realistic threshold than the $92,000 and $105,000 targets that were circulating earlier. BTC is still in a short-term correction from the $78K–$76K area, and the current price around $77K is roughly the halfway point of that correction.

🦊 Just 3.59 Million SHIB Burned in Slow September Start

According to the Shibburn website, 3.59 million SHIB were burned at the start of September, a month deemed 'poor' for risk assets in general. This represented a 49.90% drop in the daily burn rate.

The 3.59 million SHIB burned in the last 24 hours amounted to $18 in monetary value, representing a slow but steady destruction of Shiba Inu token supply.

In the last seven days, 51.02 million SHIB were burned, a 119% increase in weekly burn rate. This adds to a total of 417.02 million SHIB in the last 30 days.

The drop in daily SHIB burn coincides with a broad drop in prices in the market, with most crypto assets, including Shiba Inu, trading in the red. At the time of writing, SHIB was down 1.06% in the last 24 hours to $0.0000051 and down 3.51% weekly.

A broad risk selloff has seen major cryptocurrencies fall over the last 24 hours, with $366 million in total market liquidations according to CoinGlass data. Longs accounted for the majority at $295 million while shorts came in at $71 million.

Rate expectations are putting pressure on the markets, including crypto. The macro backdrop presents significant headwinds, with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech last Friday, which highlighted elevated inflation contributing to a global bond sell-off. Traders on the CME FedWatch tool put the odds of a hike at the Federal Reserve's September meeting at 66%, up from about 40%.

🔸 Will Shiba Inu Override the September Jinx?

Traders are watching as crypto enters what is commonly referred to as "Rektember." Since 2013, September has been Bitcoin's worst-performing month on average, producing a loss of around 3% and only producing five positive monthly returns.

September has usually been a negative month for Shiba Inu, marking three out of four years in losses since 2022. September 2024 marked an exception, with Shiba Inu rising 26.97%.

📊 ICP Price Faces Key $2.48 Test as UNDP-DFINITY Partnership Drives Network Activity

The ICP price is approaching a key technical level as recent UNDP-DFINITY developments coincide with stronger whale accumulation and rising network activity. The partnership introduces sovereign cloud and agentic AI pilots for public services, while OpenSaaS expands the ecosystem’s business software offering. These developments have also accompanied notable changes in ICP holder behavior.

🔸 UNDP and DFINITY Expand Public-Service Plans

On August 25, the UN Development Programme and DFINITY Foundation announced an agreement focused on bringing sovereign cloud and agentic AI capabilities to public services. The UNDP operates across more than 170 countries and has supported digital public infrastructure initiatives in more than 25 countries.

Over the next 12 months, DFINITY plans to pilot the technology through UNDP Country Offices and civil society organizations while working with governments through co-design pilots. The initiative will run on Cloud Engines, with OpenSaaS software available alongside tools that include Caffeine, Claude Code, Codex and Perplexity.

Two days later, DFINITY introduced OpenSaaS as a business software suite designed without per-seat fees. The platform is described as free forever, remixable and capable of allowing users to modify applications through AI instructions.

🔸 ICP Holder Accumulation Strengthens

Meanwhile, on-chain distribution data points to changing investor behavior. The 1K-10K ICP cohort has generally increased since early 2026, while the 10K-100K cohort had previously declined before showing a notable accumulation spike in late August.

At the same time, the 100K-1M ICP cohort has continued to decline since early 2026. However, large holders in the 1M-10M ICP range have continued accumulating, with another increase visible toward late August.

🟠 Bitcoin Price Prediction: Expert Says $100K Floor Is Coming

Joe Carlasare, commercial litigator, Bitcoin advocate and author of Unconfiscatable, said Bitcoin’s recent dip below $60,000 lasted only about 72 hours, a brief window he sees as strong evidence that sellers have largely disappeared from the market at lower price levels.

🔸 Why the Brief Dip Below $60K Matters

Carlasare said the speed of that rebound points to a shrinking pool of sellers willing to part with coins at depressed prices, leaving mostly long-term holders unwilling to sell at any price near the recent lows.

“There was a lack of sellers, that you had just the diamond-handed folks at the bottom,” Carlasare said. “They were never going to sell.”

He argued that dynamic is pushing Bitcoin’s effective price floor progressively higher, and predicted a coming stretch where investors find it increasingly difficult to sell below $100,000. Once that psychological level becomes firmly established as a floor, Carlasare said, every multiple above it, $200,000, $300,000, $400,000, $500,000, starts to look comparatively cheap by extension.

🔸 Why This Bear Market Was Milder Than Past Cycles

He connected the muted pullback to the idea that Bitcoin never became “unreasonably stretched” during the recent run-up, unlike prior cycles that saw sharper blow-off tops followed by steep 70-80% corrections.

Using a rubber band analogy, he explained that markets which avoid extreme overextension tend to snap back with less force on the way down. “I don’t think Bitcoin was stretched as a market,” he said, adding that the absence of a true blow-off top helps explain why this drawdown was comparatively shallow.

🔸 A Preference for Slow, Steady Growth Over Explosive Rallies

Despite his bullish long-term targets, Carlasare said he’d personally prefer Bitcoin to avoid a sharp, euphoric rally toward $300,000-$400,000.

🏎️ How High Can Solana Price Go This Rally?

Solana is trading at $105.23, up 12.3% over the past week, after facing rejection at $110, a level analysts had flagged in advance as the token’s first major resistance zone.

According to experts, Solana’s pullback from $110 began within the past day, later than a similar retracement already underway on Bitcoin’s chart. The move is being treated as an internal correction within a broader uptrend, not a reversal, provided a set of specific price floors continue to hold.

Two support zones are in focus. The first, described as weak and relevant mainly to intraday moves, sits between $102.57 and $106.76. A more important zone lies between $90.46 and $94.83, calculated using Fibonacci retracement measured from Solana’s low on August 16 through this week’s high.

The analysts said that if the weaker upper support breaks, pressure builds toward the lower zone, and price would need to stabilize near the August 26 swing low to keep the bullish structure intact. A break below $90.46 would remove their bullish case entirely, opening the door to broader short-term downside beyond just an intraday dip.

On the upside, the group’s Fibonacci resistance projection places Solana’s next target near $133, contingent on the current support structure holding through the pullback.

Upside momentum has already begun slowing, with price action turning choppier below $110, and said a deeper pullback into the weekend looked likely even as the immediate micro support level had not yet broken at the time of recording.

🔸 What It Means for Traders

Solana’s next move hinges on a narrow band between $102 and $95. Holding above it keeps the path toward $133 open. Losing it shifts the focus toward the $90 zone, and a break below that would mark a more meaningful shift in trend for the token.

🟠 Is Bitcoin’s Recent Rally a Bubble, or Is It Sustainable?

In the cryptocurrency markets, Bitcoin’s ($BTC ) recent surge from around $63,500 to over $80,000 is said to have been supported by strong spot demand rather than leveraged trading.

According to an assessment published by QCP Capital, Bitcoin’s current market structure appears healthier than previous speculative rallies. The company states that approximately $2.8 billion in net inflows occurred into spot Bitcoin ETFs during $BTC ’s rise from $63,500.

In contrast, the amount of open positions in Bitcoin futures markets decreased from approximately 646,000 BTC in mid-August to 588,000 BTC. The fact that funding rates have remained at relatively low levels also indicates that the price increase is not driven by aggressively leveraged long positions.

QCP stated that these data show that spot purchases and the closing of short positions were particularly prominent in the rally. This could indicate a more sustainable market structure for Bitcoin due to the limited accumulation of excessive leverage.

On the macro front, the Fed and the US Treasury are being closely watched.
Despite the positive technical structure in the Bitcoin market, the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain. While core PCE inflation in July remained at 3.3% year-on-year, markets are pricing in a 35% probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting.

On the other hand, the expansion of the US Treasury’s repurchase program to support liquidity in long-term bonds is among the factors supporting risky assets.

The Treasury announced that, starting September 9th, it will increase the upper limit for per-repurchase operations of 10- to 30-year bonds from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. Following this announcement, long-term bond yields fell, the dollar index weakened, while gold and Bitcoin prices rose.

🪙 Excitement on Nasdaq for XRP: SEC Approves XRP-Related Issue! Here are the Details

The rise in Bitcoin and altcoins is energizing the market, and positive developments are also occurring for XRP. In this context, XRP treasury company Evernorth has taken another step closer to a Nasdaq SPAC listing. With this development, Evernorth has completed another important stage in its journey towards its Nasdaq listing goal.

XRP treasury company Evernorth Holdings announced that its Form S-4 registration filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a merger with special purpose acquisition company Armada Acquisition Corp. II has gone into effect. A shareholder vote on the merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II is scheduled for September 30, 2026.

🔸 XRP Expected to Be Listed as a Treasury Company!

This development marks a significant milestone in the merger process and paves the way for Evernorth’s Nasdaq target.

At this point, provided the merger is approved by the shareholders and other closing conditions are met, the resulting company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “XRPN” as an $XRP -focused treasury company.

Evernorth founder and CEO Asheesh Birla said, “Today is a significant milestone toward completing the business merger we proposed. Our goal was to create an actively managed XRP treasury with the transparency and governance demanded by public markets. With the entry into force of the registration statement, we are one step closer to realizing our vision.”

Evernorth’s major investors include Ripple, SBI Group, Pantera Capital, Kraken, GSR, and Arrington Capital, and the company stated that it has secured over $1 billion in gross proceeds and committed capital from investors.

🔥 Solana’s $100 Breakout Is Here — But the Bigger Story Is Just Starting

Solana price has decisively broken above the $100 mark, extending its strongest monthly advance in years as institutional access, ETF activity and changing tokenomics converge around SOL. The breakout comes after months of resistance below the psychological level, putting the $110-$120 region firmly back on traders’ radar.

🔸 Schwab’s SOL Expansion Broadens the Institutional Access

The latest move coincides with Charles Schwab’s decision to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to Schwab Crypto in the coming months. The brokerage began rolling out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading in May, and the planned SOL addition expands its digital-asset offering to three of the largest cryptocurrencies outside BTC and ETH.

The significance is the distribution channel: Solana is moving closer to investors who already operate within a traditional brokerage environment rather than requiring them to use a crypto-native exchange. ETF activity is providing a separate indication of institutional demand. U.S. Solana-linked products have recorded sustained inflows, while Bitwise’s BSOL staking ETF posted a record $126 million in daily trading volume on August 27.

🔸 Solana’s Supply Curve Is Becoming Part of the Investment Case

The demand-side developments are being matched by a potentially important change to $SOL ’s future supply. Solana validators have been voting on SGP-0002 and SGP-0003, proposals that would accelerate disinflation and increase the amount of transaction-related fees permanently removed from circulation.

SGP-0002 would increase the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, bringing Solana toward its 1.5% terminal inflation rate considerably faster and reducing projected issuance by about 18.9 million SOL over six years. SGP-0003 would introduce a resource-based fee that is burned, with estimates suggesting daily SOL burns could rise from roughly 600-800 to around 7,500-9,000 SOL under current activity levels.

🚀 Shiba Inu News: Why Is SHIB Price Up Today?

Well-known memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is seeing a sharp spike in its price, rising 5.19% to $0.00000567 in 24 hours and nearly 28% this week. The rally comes as Japan’s FSA opens a new market for SHIB, along with other key factors pushing the token price up.

Here’s the key reason why the Shib price is up today and where it’s heading next.

🔸 SHIB Joins Bitcoin and XRP in Japan’s Select Crypto List

One of the biggest reasons behind the recent jump in Shiba Inu token price is due to SHIB’s growing presence in Japan.

Nomura-backed Laser Digital Japan has included SHIB among only six cryptocurrencies supported on its platform after receiving approval from Japan’s Financial Services Agency. The other assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin

Source: Japan’s official FSA register, updated August 21. Laser Digital Japan is listed with SHIB among its six supported assets. 🇯🇵 — Shib (@Shibtoken) August 22, 2026

This matters because Laser Digital is focused on institutional clients and plans to provide wholesale liquidity services to Japanese crypto platforms. That gives SHIB a different type of market exposure beyond its usual meme-coin trading base.

🔸 SHIB Burns Rate Spike, While Exchange Inflow Drops

Another factor supporting the price is the recent rise in SHIB burns. Shibburn data showed that the burn rate jumped over 441% in 24 hours, with around 41.8 million SHIB sent to dead wallets and permanently removed from circulation.

Perhaps burns alone didn’t create a major supply shock because hundreds of trillions of SHIB remain in circulation.

At the same time, reports a sharp drop in SHIB exchange netflow to 212.3 billion tokens, down from more than 1 trillion. This suggests large holders are moving billions of SHIB away from exchanges and into private wallets.

📊 Bitcoin and Ether Trigger a Short Squeeze — Weekly Recap

Last week, the crypto market posted its strongest growth in several months. The rally was driven by the convergence of three factors: intervention by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, regulatory changes, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out bearish positions in $BTC and $ETH .

Meanwhile, banks and tech companies continue to deepen their involvement in stablecoins. Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) is exploring paying creators in stablecoins.

🪙 XRP Sees Record-Breaking 130% Volume Spike Amid Bull Run Strengthening

The price of XRP increased by about 17% over the course of a day, and trading volume increased by well over 100% on a number of significant exchanges, making it one of the strongest trading sessions in months.

🔸 XRP breaks the key threshold

The combination implies that significant market participation, as opposed to thin liquidity, is supporting the most recent move. After beginning its acceleration at $1.15, XRP reached about $1.40 during the session. Spot volume was close to $3 billion, while futures volume reached about $13 billion.

Even more significant shifts were seen on individual exchanges: Bitget's volume increased by 134%, Bybit's by 141%, OKX's by 146%, and Binance's by roughly 114%. The breakout has significantly altered XRP's short-term structure technically. After successfully regaining the moving averages between $1.04 and $1.16, the asset attacked the long-term moving average around $1.34.

🔸 Is XRP overbought already?

The daily RSI has surged to about 82, which is well within overbought territory. That greatly raises the likelihood of short-term volatility and profit-taking, but it does not necessarily indicate an impending reversal, especially during a high-volume breakout. Positioning in derivatives is also important. Binance's long/short account ratios are roughly 2.76, while top traders' ratios are about 2.83.

These ratios are significantly skewed toward longs. If momentum abruptly stops, crowded positioning may intensify the correction. The previous consolidation area, which is located between $1.45 and $1.50, comes after the next resistance, which is located around $1.40. The bull-run argument could be significantly strengthened by a clear continuation through those levels.

$1.7 billion in shorts was liquidated in the last 4 hours – this is the second largest short squeeze in crypto history🎓

📈 $BTC is already above $68k, and the total market capitalization has grown by $160 billion in this context.

The cause of this movement was a statement from the US Treasury about increasing the pace of bond buybacks from the market, which may be a hint at market liquidity saturation.

#Crypto

📈 Why Did BTC Rise? The Key Trigger for the Move Was a News Release from the US Treasury.

What happened:

🟢 The US Treasury announced an increase in the volume of long-term government bond buybacks.

🟢 Against this backdrop, bond yields dropped sharply.

🟢 Pressure on the dollar eased, and investors began returning to risk assets.

🟢 BTC broke through the $65–66k zone. Following the breakout, a massive short squeeze began.

🟢 Forced liquidations of shorts further accelerated the move toward $69k.

🟢 The White House crypto summit and expectations of softer regulation of the industry in the US remain additional positive factors.

🔼 Here is the chain: Bond buybacks → falling yields → risk-on → BTC breakout → short liquidations → impulse to $69,000.

🕯 Now the main question is whether BTC can hold above the $66–67k zone after the short squeeze is over. If so, the move may continue. I will keep you updated.
