RISKK TAKER

Most of the upside liquidity has already been swept.

That changes the short term setup for #BTC .

When price clears a large amount of liquidity above the market, the easy upside fuel can start drying up. From here, Bitcoin may need fresh spot demand to push meaningfully higher instead of simply continuing to squeeze shorts.

That doesn’t mean a reversal is guaranteed. It means the next move becomes more dependent on real buying pressure and how $BTC reacts around key resistance.

After the recent volatility, I’m watching whether buyers can keep absorbing supply.

The liquidity has been taken. Now we see if demand is still there.

Ripple is taking AI deeper into corporate treasury.

Ripple has expanded GSmart, its governed AI platform, with new capabilities covering cash forecasting, liquidity, risk, reconciliation and reporting.

The interesting part is the governance. GSmart can identify issues and recommend financial actions, but humans still approve before anything is executed. Financial calculations are also handled by deterministic systems rather than AI.

Ripple says 60% of eligible customers already use its Risk Insights feature, while 44% use Forecast Insights.

This is bigger than simply adding AI to a finance product. Ripple is trying to combine traditional and digital-asset treasury management with governed AI in one platform.

AI in finance is moving from answering questions to helping manage real money.

$USDT and $USDC now dominate the market.

Together, Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC account for roughly 94% of circulating stablecoin supply, showing just how concentrated the stablecoin market remains.

That dominance matters because stablecoins are becoming core infrastructure for trading, payments, #defi and cross border settlement.

The bigger question is whether new stablecoins can meaningfully challenge this duopoly as onchain finance keeps expanding.

Two stablecoins still control almost the entire market.

🚨 ETF WATCH: Bitcoin ETFs failed to extend their winning streak.

After three consecutive weeks of net inflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are now heading toward a fourth week without positive net flows, with several sessions seeing investors pull money out.

That’s a notable shift, especially as Ethereum ETFs just recorded their fourth straight week of inflows.

The macro backdrop isn’t helping either. Higher inflation and rising expectations for a Fed rate hike have kept pressure on risk assets.

For BTC, the key question is whether these ETF outflows are just a temporary reaction to macro uncertainty or the beginning of a broader slowdown in institutional demand.

ETH is attracting flows. Bitcoin is losing momentum. That divergence is worth watching.

The total crypto market has added roughly $460B in value over the past month.

That’s a pretty significant recovery considering how much pressure the market faced earlier in the cycle.

Total crypto market cap is now around $2.6T, with Bitcoin still accounting for nearly 59% of the market.

The interesting part is what happens next.

A strong monthly recovery is encouraging, but BTC is still facing resistance and macro conditions remain uncertain after the latest CPI volatility.

$460B has come back into the market. Now we need to see if buyers can keep it there.

🔥 ETH ETFs ARE BACK IN A BIG WAY

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs pulled in $216M in net inflows yesterday, with BlackRock’s ETHA alone accounting for $149M.

That pushes Ethereum ETFs to their fourth consecutive week of net inflows, showing that institutional demand for ETH remains strong even with the broader market dealing with macro uncertainty.

The bigger signal is consistency. One strong day can be noise, but several weeks of positive flows suggest investors are continuing to build exposure.

ETH is getting the institutional bid again.

🔥 RWA MARKET IS MOVING: Tokenized equity trading volume surged 33x to $7.9B in August.

According to Binance Research, monthly trading volume for tokenized equities exploded to $7.9 billion, showing just how quickly onchain versions of traditional stocks are gaining traction.

But the market is still highly concentrated. bStocks and Robinhood accounted for 87.8% of tracked volume, meaning a large share of this growth is being driven by just two platforms.

That concentration is worth watching. If more issuers and networks start attracting liquidity, tokenized equities could move from a niche product into a much broader RWA market.

$7.9B in one month is no longer just a narrative. Traders are actually using it.

UniCredit is reportedly preparing to launch crypto trading and custody services.

Italy’s second-largest bank is moving deeper into digital assets, giving its clients a potential route to buy, sell and hold crypto directly through a traditional banking institution.

That’s significant because this isn’t a crypto native company entering finance. It’s an established European bank bringing crypto closer to its existing customer base.

UniCredit already has a major presence across Europe, so its move could put further pressure on other banks to develop their own digital asset offerings.

European banking is slowly moving from watching crypto to building around it.

🇬🇧The UK House of Lords just backed a national digital asset strategy.

Peers voted 194–138 in favor of an amendment that would require the Treasury to develop, publish and consult on a formal digital asset strategy within 12 months of the bill becoming law.

The strategy would cover cryptoassets, stablecoins, tokenized securities and digital financial infrastructure, while also addressing innovation, consumer protection and access to banking and payment services.

This is bigger than just another crypto vote. It signals growing pressure for the UK to have a coordinated approach to the digital asset economy.

There’s still a hurdle: the amendment must survive the House of Commons before it can become law.

The UK is clearly taking the crypto race more seriously.

Canada just cleared the way for banks to put deposits onchain.

Canada’s banking regulator says federally regulated financial institutions can offer tokenized and digitally represented deposits, provided they comply with existing laws and risk management requirements.

The important part is that the regulator is taking a technology-neutral approach: a deposit doesn’t become a different legal product simply because it runs on blockchain.

That could open the door for faster settlement, programmable payments and deeper integration between traditional banking and onchain finance.

Banks putting deposits onchain could be a much bigger deal than another crypto narrative.

🚨 LEVERAGE WIPEOUT: $250M in crypto shorts reportedly liquidated in the past hour.

And this came right after the wild CPI reaction.

Stocks sold off and recovered. Gold did the same. The 10Y yield pushed toward 5% before reversing, showing just how quickly macro positioning is shifting.

Crypto is feeling that volatility even harder because of leverage. When positioning gets crowded, a relatively sharp move can trigger forced liquidations and amplify the move in either direction.

This is what a highly leveraged market looks like. #CPIWatch

Ethereum is finally pushing out of its 21-day consolidation.

ETH has been building a bullish structure for weeks, and the latest move suggests buyers are attempting to take control again.

The breakout itself is encouraging, but the real confirmation comes from what happens next. ETH needs to hold above the breakout area and ideally see volume follow through rather than immediately falling back into the range.

If the structure remains intact, the next major upside zones could be around $2,800–$3,000, with a stronger continuation potentially opening the path toward $3,400.

The breakout is interesting. The retest will tell us whether it’s real.

🚨🚨 US CPI came in at 3.4% YoY, exactly as expected.

But the details were hotter, monthly CPI rose 0.4%, while core CPI hit 0.3% versus 0.2% expected.

With the Fed meeting next week, this matters. Markets have increased their expectations for a September rate hike.

I’m not calling this bullish for BTC yet. I’m watching how BTC, yields and the dollar react.

If BTC holds up despite tighter rate expectations, that’s strength. If yields keep rising and BTC loses support, the macro pressure could intensify.

The CPI headline was neutral. The reaction is what matters.

Perpetual DEXs now offer more than 1,000 RWA markets, with public equities making up roughly 75%, according to CryptoRank.

That is a major shift in what traders can actually speculate on through decentralized derivatives. #Crypto native assets are no longer the only game in town, stocks and other traditional assets are becoming a growing part of onchain perpetual markets.

The growth has been rapid. CryptoRank’s latest research shows RWA perpetuals reached about 43% of onchain perpetual volume in July, while weekly RWA perp volume climbed to roughly $44 billion in early August.

Public equities are clearly driving much of that expansion. Traders are effectively getting 24/7 access to markets built around assets that normally operate within traditional exchange hours.

But there’s an important distinction, an RWA perpetual isn’t the same thing as owning the underlying stock. It generally provides price exposure through a derivative, meaning traders need to consider leverage, funding, liquidity and the structure of the contract.

Still, the direction is hard to ignore.

DeFi isn’t just bringing crypto assets onchain anymore. It’s starting to recreate parts of traditional financial markets onchain.

Cardone Capital is adding more Bitcoin to its real estate strategy, purchasing 20 BTC at around $76,500 each.

That puts the latest acquisition at roughly $1.53 million, but the bigger story is the strategy behind it. Cardone Capital has been building funds that combine income producing multifamily real estate with Bitcoin exposure, using property cash flow as part of the accumulation strategy.

The company has already made Bitcoin a significant part of its investment model. Its current Real Estate Bitcoin Hybrid combines a 350 unit property with a substantial BTC allocation, showing that this isn’t simply a one off purchase.

Buying around $76.5K is also notable given the recent market weakness. Rather than waiting for Bitcoin to reclaim higher levels, Cardone is continuing to accumulate while prices remain below the recent highs.

Polymarket is now giving the CLARITY Act only an 18% chance of becoming law in 2026.

That is a strikingly low probability for a bill that could become one of the most important pieces of U.S. crypto legislation.

The market is pricing in roughly an 82% chance that the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act will not be signed into law this year. Polymarket’s contract has already attracted around $15 million in trading volume, making the odds a meaningful snapshot of where prediction market traders currently stand.

The timing is crucial. The Senate is scheduled for a procedural vote on September 15, but clearing that hurdle would only allow the chamber to begin considering the legislation. The bill would still need to navigate debate, amendments, final passage and the House before reaching the president’s desk.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says Bitcoin has already bottomed for this cycle and expects BTC to trend higher over the next one to two years.

Armstrong says Bitcoin’s four year cycle is still relevant, with the next halving providing a longer term catalyst for the market. His comments come as BTC trades around $78K, still well below its previous record high but significantly above the summer lows.

There are some signs supporting the recovery thesis. Bitcoin has gained about 23% over the 21 sessions through September 9, while Glassnode says selling pressure has eased as BTC approaches the $83K–$86K resistance zone.
