There is roughly $16.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options sitting on Deribit’s books, all scheduled to expire on September 25, 2026. Bitcoin options account for the bulk of that figure at approximately $14.63 billion, with Ethereum options adding another $1.93 billion.
The call-heavy tilt that defines this expiry Options come in two flavors: calls, which profit when prices rise, and puts, which profit when prices fall. For Bitcoin, the put/call open interest ratio sits at 0.52. For Ethereum, it is 0.57. Both numbers below 1.0 mean there are roughly twice as many call contracts outstanding as put contracts.
With Bitcoin trading near $78,000 as of September 14, the concentration of call positions at higher strike prices suggests many traders are positioned for a move beyond current levels before the September 25 settlement. The estimated max-pain level for the expiry sits between $72,000 and $75,000, meaning the price at which the largest number of open contracts expire worthless is meaningfully below the current spot price.
Why max pain matters and why traders ignore it anyway Max pain is a concept borrowed from traditional options markets. The theory holds that, heading into expiry, prices tend to gravitate toward the level where options sellers face the smallest total payout. For this September 25 expiry, that level is in the $72,000 to $75,000 range for Bitcoin, while the current spot price near $78,000 sits above that zone.
Deribit’s dominance and what that concentration means Deribit processes the overwhelming majority of Bitcoin and Ethereum options volume globally. As September 25 approaches, the hedging activity of large market makers on Deribit will have an outsized effect on spot prices. When call options move into the money and market makers need to delta-hedge their books, they buy the underlying asset, which can amplify upward price moves. When puts move into the money, the hedging flows go the other way.
Ethereum’s $1.93 billion slice of that total carries a put/call ratio of 0.57, mirroring the bullish bias seen in Bitcoin.
For traders watching the September 25 date, the key variables to track are any shift in the put/call ratio in the days ahead, movement in implied volatility as the expiry approaches, and whether Bitcoin holds above the $75,000 max pain zone. A sustained break below that level would flip the hedging math for a market that has positioned itself with calls dominant at a 0.52 to 0.57 put/call ratio.

Ripple USD (RLUSD) has grown into one of the larger regulated dollar stablecoins, with net circulating supply recently topping an all-time high of about $2.44 billion before settling near $2.42 billion. That expansion looks like a success story for Ripple’s dual-chain product.
A closer look at where the new tokens actually landed tells a more complicated story.
Most of the growth since July has accumulated on Ethereum, not on the XRP Ledger that Ripple has long promoted as its flagship settlement network.
RLUSD launched in December 2024 on both chains under a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) trust-company charter.
The design was straightforward: XRPL would handle fast, low-cost enterprise payments, while Ethereum would connect the token to deep DeFi liquidity. For much of 2025,
Ethereum dominated.
At one point it held close to 88 percent of supply. XRPL then staged a notable catch-up. By late June 2026 the two networks were roughly even.
In early July the XRP Ledger briefly pulled ahead, holding roughly $863 million against Ethereum’s $676 million out of a total near $1.54 billion.
That lead did not last through the subsequent surge.
Total supply rose more than 50 percent in a little over a month as Ripple minted and redeemed tokens to meet demand, rebalance liquidity, and support exchange and lending markets.
Live trackers now show Ethereum with about $1.37 billion, or 56.5 percent of circulating RLUSD, versus $1.05 billion, or 43.5 percent, on XRPL.
The gap is not just a rounding error.
The bulk of the hundreds of millions of dollars added since midsummer has been issued or moved onto Ethereum.
The reasons are structural.
Ethereum still hosts the largest concentration of DeFi venues that can put a dollar stablecoin to work.
Aave’s lending contracts alone hold on the order of $330 million in RLUSD.
Curve pools and other automated market makers add further depth. Average balances on Ethereum run far higher than on XRPL, pointing to institutional and protocol-level holdings rather than a wide retail base.
XRPL, by contrast, shows more individual holders and trust lines, cheaper fees, and faster settlement—advantages that matter for payments but have not absorbed most of the newest issuance.
Ripple itself treats the two chains as complementary rather than competing.
The company mints and burns on both ledgers, parks inventory for market-making, and periodically rebalances.
Those treasury operations explain some of the visible transfers.
They do not change the destination of net new capital.
When demand spiked in August and early September, Ethereum received the larger share.
The result is an awkward split for a product often framed as proof of XRPL’s enterprise readiness.
RLUSD is growing quickly, is fully reserved, and is expanding toward corporate treasury use and additional networks.
Yet the chain that captured most of the post-July inflow is the one Ripple did not build. It now remains to be seen if XRPL can reclaim a majority as payment volume scales remains an open question. For now the numbers are clear: the stablecoin is larger than ever, and most of that extra size lives on Ethereum.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reversed course last week, posting more than $460 million in net withdrawals after three straight weeks of inflows. Ethereum products moved in the opposite direction, finishing the same holiday-shortened stretch with nearly $200 million in net creations.
The Bitcoin selloff spanned all four sessions from Tuesday through Friday. Redemptions started modestly after the Labor Day close, then accelerated midweek.
Thursday produced the heaviest single-day withdrawal, at roughly $283 million—the largest daily drop since July 2026.
Friday’s figure slowed sharply but still left the complex in the red for a fourth consecutive trading day.
Product-level data show the pressure was concentrated in a handful of large funds.
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) accounted for the biggest weekly redemption, at about $234 million, including a $164 million outflow on Thursday alone.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) followed with roughly $129 million in net withdrawals.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) also finished negative for the week, shedding about $53 million and $51 million, respectively.
A few smaller products, including Morgan Stanley’s MSBT, recorded modest inflows that only partially offset the larger redemptions.
The weekly reversal did not erase September’s earlier gains.
Through Friday, spot Bitcoin ETFs remained net positive for the month by a little more than $300 million.
Cumulative inflows since the January 2024 launches still sit above $55 billion.
Ethereum funds told a different story.
After mixed or slightly negative sessions early in the week, a late surge flipped the group firmly into inflow territory.
Friday’s $216 million of creations more than offset earlier redemptions and produced a weekly net of nearly $197 million.
That extended Ethereum ETFs’ streak of positive weeks.BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) supplied most of the buying.
The fund took in about $149 million on Friday and finished the week as the clear leader among Ether products.
Other issuers contributed smaller positive figures, helping the category post its fourth consecutive week of net inflows even as Bitcoin vehicles saw selling.
The split in flows highlights how institutional demand can diverge even among the two largest crypto assets.
Bitcoin products absorbed profit-taking after a strong late-August and early-September run, while Ethereum funds attracted fresh capital, particularly into BlackRock’s vehicle.
Market participants will watch whether the Bitcoin outflows prove temporary or mark a broader pause in risk appetite as investors digest inflation data and the next Federal Reserve meeting.
Flow figures remain subject to revision as issuers finalize daily creation and redemption reports. Still, the week’s pattern is clear: Bitcoin ETFs gave back part of their recent gains, while Ethereum ETFs kept drawing money.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) should remain one’s biggest crypto position, followed by Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and a smaller Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) allocation, according to prominent analyst Kevin Capital.
"It’s worked for me more than once," Kevin wrote on X on Sunday, saying “life-changing gains” can be made with such an allocation in a bull cycle.
Prominent investor Mark Moss echoed the upbeat sentiment in a separate interview with Scott Melker on Saturday.
Moss said the recent rally did not come without warning, citing CryptoQuant data that showed wallets holding more than 10,000 Bitcoin added roughly $2.9 billion in BTC over 60 days.
Wallets holding 10 Bitcoin or less reportedly sold nearly 10,000 BTC during the same period.
At the same time, institutional filings showed growing exposure:
JPMorgan Chase & Co. increased its BlackRock Bitcoin ETF position by about 25% during the second quarter. Paul Tudor Jones reportedly raised his Bitcoin exposure by 18.9%. Stanley Druckenmiller’s family office added positions in Bitcoin miners expanding into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. Trending
Why Bitcoin Looks Good After the RallyMoss further pointed to Bitcoin’s response to negative headlines as a major bottom signal. Hacks, data breaches and concerns about Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) selling Bitcoin failed to push the asset below its range.
Markets stop falling when sellers run out, Moss argued. Institutions defending the $60,000 area helped absorb supply before the rally triggered short liquidations and momentum buying.
He also linked the move to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s plan to expand bond buybacks — an announcement that is a signal that policymakers will intervene to contain bond-market stress and support liquidity.
Suppressing yields could weaken the dollar’s purchasing power and increase demand for scarce assets.
Moss now places an 80% probability on $58,000 marking the cycle low. He sees a possible retest near $65,000 to $69,000 but does not expect Bitcoin to break its former bottom.

XRP: XRP remains in post-breakout consolidation above $1.33–$1.35, with a break above $1.45 needed to reopen the path toward $1.50–$1.55.
Zcash (ZEC): ZEC retains strong bullish momentum above $1,050 despite extreme volatility, while a breakout above $1,200–$1,280 could trigger another price-discovery move.
Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin remains structurally bullish while holding $76,000–$77,000, but buyers need to clear the $80,000–$82,000 resistance zone to resume the broader rally.
HOT Stories
Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum continues to consolidate bullishly around $2,500, with a confirmed breakout above $2,560 potentially opening the way toward $2,650–$2,700.
Short-term dynamic changesFollowing a dramatic August breakout that drastically altered its short-term market structure, XRP is trying to stabilize around $1.40. The token is still having trouble establishing a distinct continuation pattern, but it is currently trading close to $1.398, well above a number of significant moving averages.
This zone has drawn buyers on several occasions in September and closely aligns with the long-term moving average that can be seen on the daily chart. In recent sessions, XRP briefly fell below the area but swiftly recovered, indicating that sellers have not yet taken control.
XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe first significant resistance is between $1.42 and $1.45 above the current price. Multiple September rallies have stalled there. The structure would be significantly improved by a decisive daily close above $1.45, which could lead to another attempt at $1.50–$1.55.
Beyond that, the August wick at $1.70 continues to be the main local extreme, though XRP would require much greater momentum to overcome it. Momentum currently appears fairly balanced. After the August rally, the daily RSI fell precipitously from overbought territory and is currently at about 56.
You Might Also Like
Because XRP has maintained the majority of its breakout gains while eliminating the extreme momentum readings, that cooling process is beneficial. The downside structure is straightforward. The current consolidation would be weakened if $1.33 were lost, and focus would shift to about $1.28, where a rising moving average offers additional possible support.
If that support also fails, the $1.20–$1.25 region would become significant. Rather than confirming a new leg higher, XRP is currently in post-breakout consolidation. Bulls are in a good position if price holds between $1.33 and $1.35, but $1.45 must be cleared before another significant expansion is likely.
Zcash's momentum is thereAfter its massive rise from below $500 in August to a peak of about $1,280 in September, Zcash continues to be one of the market's most extreme momentum trades. ZEC is currently trading close to $1,147, indicating that despite significant volatility around the highs, the token has maintained a sizable portion of the move.
ZEC/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe daily structure remains very bullish. ZEC trades significantly above all major moving averages, with the shortest average rising to about $950. Longer averages remain significantly lower at $800, $680, and $550, demonstrating how quickly prices have moved away from their prior equilibrium.
That distance, however, also poses a significant correction risk. ZEC has already experienced heavy selling between $1,200 and $1,280. Long intraday ranges and a number of large daily candles show fierce competition between buyers and profit-taking sellers.

The price range of $1,160 to $1,200 is the immediate resistance. The recent $1,250–$1,280 high would come back into focus if $1,200 were recovered. Another price-discovery phase could be established by a clear breakout above $1,280, with $1,300 serving as the first psychological level above the current high.
About $1,050–$1,080 is the first significant support area on the downside. Following its most recent rejection, ZEC has already recovered in this area. A test of the psychological $1,000 level would become more likely if $1,050 were lost, followed by the sharply rising short-term moving average at $950.
Although volatility is very high, ZEC's trend remains bullish. The current action looks like consolidation following a vertical advance above $1,050. A deeper correction toward $1,000–$950 becomes much more likely below that level.
Bitcoin's consolidationAfter its strong August comeback, which took it from about $63,000 to over $80,000 in a matter of weeks, Bitcoin is consolidating around $78,250. Although the initial momentum has subsided, bulls still have a significant advantage on the daily chart: Bitcoin is still trading comfortably above its major moving averages.
BTC/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe immediate structure revolves around the $76,000–$77,000 support area. Since the beginning of September, Bitcoin has tested this area multiple times, but buyers have consistently prevented a more serious decline.
The short-term moving average is also approaching this zone, providing additional technical support. The first significant barrier on the upside remains $79,000–$80,000. Although Bitcoin has frequently traded above $80,000, it has not been able to sustain acceptance at that level. The next significant barrier is the recent peak between $81,500 and $82,000.

The current consolidation would be resolved and the broader recovery could resume if the daily close were above that level. Momentum has significantly stabilized. After entering overbought territory during the August breakout, the RSI has moved back toward the mid-50s. As a result, BTC no longer exhibits the same overheated momentum conditions, but it also shows less buying pressure than during the initial rally.
There has been a major improvement in the broader technical structure. Bitcoin is currently trading above the long-term moving average at $73,000, while the medium-term averages are rising below the price.
Ethereum jumps to $2,500After one of its biggest recent upside expansions, Ethereum is still trading close to $2,500. ETH jumped from about $1,880 in August to over $2,500, and in contrast to many strong rallies, the asset has given back comparatively little of the gain.
Right now, ETH is trading at about $2,503, with price action forming a tight consolidation between about $2,400 and $2,550. This range has been the main technical structure on the daily chart for a number of weeks. The bullish argument stems from where this consolidation is taking place.
ETH/USDT Chart by TradingViewEthereum remains well above all of the main moving averages. While the medium-term averages are between $2,200 and $2,260, the shortest average has risen to $2,400. Following the August breakout, ETH has held onto its high price range rather than immediately retreating toward those averages.
Resistance remains concentrated between $2,520 and $2,560. Ethereum has tested this area several times without a convincing daily breakout. If $2,560 is eventually cleared, one notable wick reaches about $2,660, making that level the next important target. Momentum has decreased without turning bearish.

The RSI entered overbought territory before settling in the mid-50s. This normalization will allow ETH to extend further if buyers return. The primary support is now $2,400–$2,440. The consolidation would be weakened if that area were lost, exposing the $2,300 level, followed by the rising moving-average cluster between $2,200 and $2,250.
For the time being, Ethereum's structure favors continuation over reversal. The market has absorbed the August rally without a significant decline. A confirmed break above $2,560 would significantly strengthen that setup and bring the $2,650–$2,700 area into focus.
Grayscale handed financial advisors a ready-made crypto allocation on Monday, and XRP (XRP) took 26.11% of it. The token is the second-largest holding in the firm’s new Digital Assets Next Gen model portfolio.

Grayscale caps any one asset at 40% and resets the weights every three months. Ether has already drifted past that cap since the model started on July 27.
The Funds Behind It Have Been Losing MoneyXRP trades near $1.42, up about 5% on the day and fifth by market value. The Grayscale XRP Trust ETF, however, sits 38.51% below its launch price.
BeInCrypto reported in August that the same trust sold $180 million in tokens during the first half of the year at a realized loss. Six of the model’s seven funds trade below where they started.
The model itself shows a 30.69% net gain since July 27. That is five weeks of history built on one strong August, and the rest of the return table is empty.

The crypto market is bracing for huge volatility in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP due to a macro-heavy week. Wall Street giants JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs now expect a Fed rate hike. Traders expect price action to remain choppy as multiple key events, including the CLARITY Act vote and the Bank of Japan rate decision, are also scheduled this week.
Escalating the Middle East conflict is increasing uncertainty in global markets and risking pressure on the crypto market. In addition, skyrocketing oil prices, Treasury yields, and the US dollar are contributing to heightened selling pressure on Bitcoin.
JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Estimate 25 Bps Fed Rate Hike in September Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have shifted to expecting a 25 bps Fed rate hike at the September meeting after hotter August inflation and the renewed oil surge. Markets are pricing roughly an 87% probability of a hike, Reuters reported on September 14.
Goldman Sachs abandoned its previous call for the Fed to hold rates steady and now projects a 25bps hike at the September 16 FOMC meeting. In contrast, JPMorgan is forecasting 25bps hikes in both September and December.
The shift follows hotter-than-expected August PPI and CPI inflation data. The continued US-Iran war is keeping oil prices elevated. At the time of writing, oil prices were 3% above $103 per barrel today.
Meanwhile, the US Fed rate decision is followed by the Bank of England and Bank of Japan’s interest rate decisions. Goldman Sachs expects potential selling pressure on Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP, as higher rates generally mean tighter financial conditions and a stronger dollar.
CME FedWatch Tool now shows an almost 88% probability of a 25 bps rate hike this week, up from around 70% before the latest inflation prints. The narrative has moved from whether the Fed would hike rates at all to how large and persistent a new tightening cycle could become.
Crypto Market Could Face Selling Pressure Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act is set for a Senate procedural vote on Tuesday. Bernstein said crypto markets currently have a bearish bias, leaving room for a rebound amid positive CLARITY Act news.
President Trump agreed to ethics provision in new crypto bill text. Bernstein sees some Democrats supporting it to meet the 60-vote requirement. Bloomberg has reported that about 7 to 10 Democrats “sound like they want to ultimately pass a bill,” but public commitments remain limited.
Bernstein predicts upside momentum in crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP as Democratic support could lift sentiment in the crypto market. However, a failed vote, especially if paired with hawkish Fed commentary, could trigger another crash in the crypto market and crypto-linked stocks.
The derivatives market showed buying sentiment in the last few hours, as per CoinGlass data. At the time of writing, the total Bitcoin futures open interest jumped 2.78% to $52.80 in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour BTC futures OI is up more than 1.42% on CME and 2.22% on Binance.
Polymarket data shows prediction market participants expect the Bitcoin price to reach $85,000 by December 31, 2026, with 67% ‘Yes’ bets.

Bitmine added more ETH last week as it approaches its goal of holding 5% of the total Ethereum supply. This comes ahead of the upcoming Clarity Act vote, which the company’s Chairman, Tom Lee, cited as a positive catalyst for a potential year-end crypto rally.
Bitmine Acquires 27,180 ETH As Holdings Approach 5% of Ethereum Supply In a press release, the Ethereum treasury firm said it acquired 27,180 ETH last week, continuing its long-running streak of buying ETH every week. “Bitmine’s track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world,” Chairman Tom Lee said.
Bitmine now holds 5,956,378 ETH, representing 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply, and is now 98% of the way to reaching its goal of holding 5% of the total Ethereum supply. Meanwhile, the company’s total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309, worth nearly $13 billion at current prices.
The latest Ethereum purchase follows Bitmine’s 28,086 ETH buy two weeks ago, even as the ETH price rebounds from its June lows and looks to break out above the $2,500 psychological level. The Ethereum treasury firm has remained bullish on ETH as Tom Lee predicts that the layer-1 network will benefit largely from the tokenization boom.
The BMNR stock is trading at $24, down almost 2% today, according to TradingView data. However, the crypto stock is up over 36% in the last month, rebounding alongside Ethereum and the broader crypto market.

Tom Lee Cites Clarity Act Vote As Positive Catalyst Tom Lee said they see the upcoming Clarity Act vote as one of several positive catalysts heading into the final months of the year. President Trump has agreed to the ethics provision, which notably boosts the chances of the Senate passing the crypto bill before it heads for the mid-term recess.
Meanwhile, the Bitmine Chairman also said that Korean investors have started buying crypto again 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,” he added.
Specifically, Tom Lee said a Bitmine advisor expects a sharp upward move in Ethereum’s price in the coming weeks. The advisor noted that ETH moved sideways without a breakdown in August, suggesting renewed upside.

COIN Stock traded at $185.91 on Monday, September 14, after a sharp opening advance in Coinbase shares. The price was $10.65 above Friday’s $175.26 close, a gain of 6.08% at 9:44 a.m. EDT. Traders faced a week of monetary decisions and a procedural Senate vote affecting digital asset legislation.
COIN Stock Jumps 6% Ahead of FOMC Meeting Coinbase shares climbed toward $188 shortly after the opening bell before surrendering part of their early gains. Premarket trading had mostly stayed between $175 and $181, with a late dip toward $177 before shares rebounded.
The Federal Reserve meets Tuesday and Wednesday, with its policy statement scheduled for September 16. Investors will also receive updated economic projections, including policymakers’ expectations for interest rates and economic growth. Those forecasts could influence trading even if the rate decision matches expectations.
FedWatch figures supplied for the September meeting showed an 88.3% probability of a quarter-point increase. They assigned 11.7% to unchanged rates and no probability to a cut at the time captured. These estimates describe market pricing, and they can change before the Fed announces its decision.
Source: FED watch tool The Fed held its target range at 3.50% to 3.75% in July. A quarter-point increase would lift that range to 3.75% to 4.00%.

Any change in the bill’s prospects could affect sentiment toward exchanges and other crypto businesses. However, the direction and size of any market reaction remain uncertain. Traders will also watch how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies respond to the week’s policy announcements.
The Bank of England is due to publish its rate decision Thursday, September 17. Its current Bank Rate stands at 3.75%, following a July decision to hold steady. The Bank of Japan meets Thursday and Friday, with its policy statement expected September 18.
A Japanese rate increase could strengthen the yen and pressure trades funded in that currency. If policymakers leave rates unchanged, their guidance could still move global markets. Neither decision provides a reliable signal for Coinbase shares on its own.
COIN Stock Prediction: Will Coinbase Reach $200 This Week? The opening move places immediate resistance near $188, the session high in the supplied snapshot. Holding above that level could bring $190 into view for the COIN stock, followed by $195 if momentum persists.
From $185.91, reaching $200 would require another gain of roughly 7.6% as per the future Coinbase Stock outlook. Broader crypto weakness could disrupt that path quickly.
COIN stock On the downside, $180 marks a nearby level observed during premarket trading. Losing that level could refocus attention on Friday’s $175.26 close.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR) bought 27,180 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) last week as Chairman Tom Lee flagged a new ETH/BTC uptrend breaking out for the first time since the COVID highs.
What the Latest Purchase ShowsAccording to the press release, Bitmine now holds 5.96 million ETH at current prices worth roughly $14.97 billion, representing 4.9% of Ethereum’s 122 million token supply and putting the company 98% of the way to its 5% target. Key figures from the update:

Key Takeaways The company acquired 27,180 ETH in the past week, representing approximately $68 million in value, increasing its total position to 5.96 million ETH. Bitmine currently holds 4.9% of the entire Ethereum supply and requires about 144,000 additional ETH to achieve its 5% objective. According to Chairman Tom Lee, the ETH-BTC price relationship reached its strongest point since January 30, ending a multi-year downward pattern that began in 2022. The company has staked more than 5 million ETH via its MAVAN infrastructure, anticipating several hundred million dollars in yearly staking returns. Combined assets including digital currencies, cash reserves, and investment positions now reach $15.8 billion, with BMNR listed in the Russell 1000 index. Bitmine expanded its Ethereum position by 27,180 tokens over the previous week, representing a market value of approximately $68 million based on Monday’s ETH trading price just north of $2,500.
BitMine Buys 27,180 ETH, Bringing Holdings to 5.96M ETH
BitMine said it acquired 27,180 ETH over the past week, bringing its total holdings to 5.96 million ETH as of September 13. The position represents about 4.9% of Ethereum’s 122 million ETH supply, putting the company 98%… pic.twitter.com/r5oLTgiA9T
— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 14, 2026
This latest acquisition elevates Bitmine’s complete ETH holdings to 5,956,378 tokens, moving the company closer to its stated 5% supply objective.
Given Ethereum’s current circulating supply of approximately 122 million tokens, the organization requires roughly 144,000 additional ETH to surpass the 6.1 million token benchmark it has established.
The firm has executed ETH acquisitions consistently on a weekly basis since initiating its Ethereum treasury approach in June 2025, with last week’s acquisition volume mirroring the previous week’s activity.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc., BMNR
According to a September 14 announcement, the organization’s aggregate cryptocurrency holdings, cash reserves, marketable securities, and speculative “moonshot” investments have reached $15.8 billion.
This valuation is primarily driven by its 5.96 million ETH stake, priced at $2,513 per token as of September 13, alongside 212 BTC, equity positions in Beast Industries and Eightco, plus $549 million held in cash and marketable securities.
Ethereum-Bitcoin Price Relationship Shifts Upward Tom Lee, Bitmine’s chairman and Fundstrat’s founder, identified several positive indicators for ETH as 2026 approaches its final quarter.
He emphasized that the ETH-BTC valuation ratio reached its peak level since January 30 and successfully breached a declining trend line established in 2022.
“The valuation ratio between ETH and BTC advanced to its strongest position since January 30th this year and confirmed a fresh upward trajectory,” Lee stated.
He attributed this movement to Ethereum’s expanding function as foundational infrastructure for Wall Street’s tokenization initiatives and its prospective application in governing autonomous AI systems.
Staking Operations Generate Significant Revenue The company has committed over 5.07 million ETH to staking through its MAVAN infrastructure, which functions as an enterprise-level staking and validator platform.
Management is forecasting annual staking income in the hundreds of millions of dollars from this substantial position.
The company also maintains membership in the Russell 1000 index, which it references as evidence of its expanding institutional credibility.
Lee identified two additional immediate catalysts: an anticipated Senate vote on Tuesday regarding U.S. cryptocurrency market-structure legislation called the Clarity Act, and resurgent cryptocurrency purchasing from Korean market participants.
The latest analyst assessment for BMNR is a Buy recommendation, with a $63.60 price objective.
BMNR shares declined 0.64% during Monday’s trading session, closing at $25.04.
The two draft proposals take different approaches to native smart accounts, potentially shifting cross-chain compatibility work to wallets and apps.
Ethlabs’ Derek Chiang, who founded ZeroDev, said a collaboration to reconcile Base-led EIP-8130 with Ethereum’s EIP-8141 Frame Transactions ended last week, leaving the two sides to pursue separate native account-abstraction standards.
The official Ethereum Improvement Proposal registry lists both EIP-8130 and EIP-8141 as drafts. Ethlabs backs Frame Transactions for Hegotá, which it describes as an upcoming Ethereum hard fork, and says it intends to work with Layer 2s and wallets on a rollout.
In practical terms, incompatible native transaction types would shift more integration work to wallet and application developers. Chiang said the failed effort was “putting the burden on wallets to deal with the fragmentation that ensues,” although he argued that software could still hide those differences from users.
How the Designs DifferAccount abstraction allows smart-contract accounts to define their own validation logic rather than relying only on fixed rules for externally owned accounts. The final ERC-4337 standard provides account abstraction without changing Ethereum’s consensus rules: users submit `UserOperation` objects to a separate mempool, and bundlers package them into transactions for an EntryPoint contract.
Both new drafts move account-abstraction functions into native transaction handling, but they use different control points.
EIP-8130 combines a new typed transaction with an onchain keystore and account-configuration system. It supports custom authentication, batched calls and gas sponsorship. Because each transaction declares its authenticator, nodes can identify the required validation work and reject unknown authenticators before executing arbitrary wallet code.
The 8130 draft defines an L1 profile with permissive authenticator acceptance and an L2 profile that limits its native transaction path to a canonical authenticator set. That structure is intended to give high-throughput chains predictable validation costs while preserving a common baseline for wallets.
EIP-8141 instead divides a transaction into a sequence of “frames,” or contract calls that validate the transaction, approve gas payment and execute user operations. Its design lets accounts use EVM code to define validation and gas-payment rules, with support for features including key rotation, batched calls and alternative fee payments.
Ethlabs has described the central tradeoff: permissionless, EVM-based validation gives Frame Transactions flexibility for privacy and future signature systems, but dynamic validation costs can create challenges for high-throughput Layer 2s. EIP-8130 prioritizes more predictable validation by making the authenticator explicit before execution.
Portability Moves Up the StackEIP-8130’s draft still calls portability a top concern. It says accounts can function on EVM chains that do not support the 8130 transaction type by using ERC-4337 or another transport mechanism. It also requires compliant chains to accept a shared canonical authenticator set.
The reported split therefore would not necessarily make an 8130 account unusable on another EVM chain. It would, however, end the effort to establish one shared native transaction format for Ethereum and Base if the two drafts advance separately. Wallets and apps would need to select the appropriate transaction transport and validation rules for each chain.
Chiang outlined two possible responses: broaden coordination over resources shared by Ethereum and Layer 2s, or accept protocol differences and build wallets and applications that abstract them from users. For now, the official EIP registry lists both designs as drafts.
The effort to unify how Ethereum handles account abstraction just hit a wall. A collaboration between Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 network, and Ethereum core developers to reconcile two competing proposals ended last week, according to Derek Chiang of Ethlabs, the founder of ZeroDev.
The two sides will now advance their respective standards independently: Base with EIP-8130, and Ethereum’s Layer 1 with EIP-8141, known as Frame Transactions. Both remain listed as active drafts in the official Ethereum Improvement Proposal registry, which means the ecosystem now has to grapple with two parallel paths to solving the same problem.
What account abstraction actually means, and why it matters Account abstraction lets wallets do things that currently require clunky workarounds: sponsoring someone else’s gas fees, batching multiple transactions into one, logging in with a passkey instead of memorizing a seed phrase, and using custom authentication methods.
The existing standard for this, ERC-4337, works by layering these features on top of the Ethereum Virtual Machine rather than baking them into the protocol itself. Both EIP-8130 and EIP-8141 aimed to move account abstraction from that overlay approach to embedding it natively into the protocol layer.
The two proposals agreed on the core use cases. Gasless transactions, passkey-based wallets, transaction batching: all on the shared wish list. Where they diverged was on the values underlying the architecture.
The L1 vs. L2 philosophical rift Ethereum’s Layer 1 developers prioritized censorship resistance, value capture, and privacy. EIP-8141 reflects that ethos, focusing on flexible transaction primitives designed for broad extensibility and post-quantum readiness. It remains in draft form and is expected to ship as part of Ethereum’s upcoming Hegotá upgrade.
Base and the broader Layer 2 camp had different priorities. Scalability and customization topped their list. EIP-8130 is already being tested on Base’s vibenet devnet and is designed for adoption across the OP Stack, the modular framework that powers Optimism, Base, and a growing number of rollups. The proposal claims up to a 63% reduction in gas costs for certain transfer types compared to the existing ERC-4337 approach.
Chiang acknowledged that while a unified standard would have created a more consistent multichain smart account experience, the fragmentation could still produce productive outcomes. Different chains have different needs, and forcing a single standard onto both L1 and L2 may have resulted in a compromise that satisfied nobody.
What fragmentation means for developers and users The immediate practical consequence is that developers building smart account infrastructure now need to think about which standard they’re targeting. An application built on EIP-8130’s assumptions for Base or another OP Stack chain won’t automatically work the same way on Ethereum mainnet if EIP-8141 ships with different transaction primitives.
Account abstraction sits at a particularly sensitive layer of the stack because it governs how users authenticate, authorize, and pay for transactions. Fragmentation here ripples outward into wallet design, dApp interfaces, and cross-chain bridging.
The counterargument, and the one Chiang appears to lean toward, is that parallel innovation produces better outcomes than premature consensus. If EIP-8130 proves that native account abstraction can cut gas costs by 63% on L2s while EIP-8141 delivers quantum-resistant flexibility on L1, the ecosystem ends up with two strong tools rather than one mediocre compromise.

In brief Bitmine bought 27,180 ETH last week, bringing its holdings to nearly 5.96 million tokens. Its crypto, cash, securities, and strategic investments total $15.8 billion, the company says. Approximately 85% of its Ethereum is staked, with projected annualized revenue of $334 million. Bitmine Immersion Technologies bought another 27,180 Ethereum tokens last week, bringing its holdings to nearly 6 million ETH as it approaches its goal of owning 5% of the cryptocurrency’s supply.
In its Monday announcement, Bitmine said it held 5,956,378 ETH, worth approximately $14.89 billion, as of Sunday evening, representing roughly 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply.
Myriad: Ethereum's next price move? Click to make your prediction.The purchase was slightly smaller than the previous week’s addition of 28,086 ETH, which lifted its holdings to 5.93 million tokens.
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee once again noted today that the company has bought Ethereum every week since starting its treasury strategy on June 30, 2025. (Disclosure: Lee is an investor in Dastan, Decrypt’s parent company.)
"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 5,866bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, SOL and BTC," Lee said in a statement. "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."
Bitmine valued its total holdings at $15.8 billion, including its Ethereum, 212 Bitcoin, $549 million in cash and securities, and stakes in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings worth $180 million and $98 million, respectively.
About 85% of its Ethereum—5.07 million ETH—is staked, generating projected annualized revenue of $334 million at a 2.62% yield. Lee said revenue could reach $392 million if all its ETH were staked through MAVAN and its partners, though both projections depend on token prices and yields.
Rival Ethereum treasury company SharpLink announced plans in August to stake $200 million through Lido. It will receive tokens representing its staked Ethereum and rewards, allowing it to use the position in decentralized finance applications.
While companies, including Bitmine, have gone on an altcoin buying spree, Bitcoin treasury giant Strategy, meanwhile, bought no Bitcoin in the week through September 13. It spent another $139 million buying back preferred shares, according to a Monday filing.

Based on the latest Ethereum news, ETH is up nearly 58% so far in the third quarter, positioning the token to end its first-ever three-quarter losing streak after consecutive declines of nearly 29% in the fourth quarter of 2025, roughly 30% in the first quarter of 2026 and nearly 26% in the second quarter of 2026.
The reversal is not yet final. More than two weeks remained in the quarter, leaving time for the gain to hold, extend or erode before the period closes.
Ethereum’s current advance follows its longest quarterly losing run on record. The asset had previously recorded back-to-back quarterly losses four times, in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2024. In each case, the following quarter was positive and ended the streak.
The current third-quarter gain also exceeds the cited average third-quarter return of 12% and median return of 10%.
Ethereum has never had three losing quarters in a row. It just did: down 29%, then 29%, then 25%, per Coinglass.

Ethereum News Today: Price Snapshot Shows Lingering Bearishness Ethereum was trading at $2,500, roughly flat over the preceding 24 hours. Retail sentiment remained in the bearish zone, while chatter levels were characterized as normal.
Zooming out, Ethereum was down about 18% so far this year and more than 42% over the previous 12 months. Those figures place the third-quarter recovery against a broader period of weakness rather than treating the quarterly move as a complete reversal of prior declines.
Base on today’s Ethereum news, ETH is trading at $2,510, up 1.34% on the day, after bouncing sharply off a September low near $2,061. The rally has pushed price back above its 200-day moving average, which had been sloping downward since peaking near $3,650 in mid-2026.
Price is now testing resistance around $2,566, a level it briefly touched in this latest push. A close above that zone would open room toward $2,800–3,000, where ETH stalled earlier in the year. On the downside, $2,141 marks the nearest support, with the September low near $2,061 as the key level to hold if the bounce fails.

Tom Lee’s Q4 Outlook: Forecast, Not Confirmation JUST IN: Tom Lee's 'BitMine' buys $68M worth of Ethereum
— Kalshi Crypto (@Kalshi_Crypto) September 14, 2026
Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, had predicted in August that Ethereum would break the streak. Lee said he expected crypto, particularly Ethereum, to draw strong interest through September and into year-end. He pointed to institutional allocation and a potential passage of the CLARITY Act as factors that could support a strong fourth quarter for crypto.
Lee also said the Federal Reserve’s September meeting would be important for markets. His base case was for the central bank to leave rates unchanged, which he said could lead to a strong market rally. These are Lee’s expectations rather than confirmed outcomes.
Bitmine said on September 8 that it held 5,929,198 ETH as of September 7, equal to 4.9% of Ethereum’s 122 million supply. The company said that share was up from 4.8% in late August. Stocktwits identified Bitmine as the largest corporate holder of Ethereum.
A positive third quarter would interrupt Ethereum’s first-ever three-quarter losing streak, but the result remains subject to change while the quarter is still open. Lee’s view that Bitcoin and Ethereum could have a strong fourth quarter if the CLARITY Act passes this year is a forecast conditional on that legislation.

Grayscale Rolls Out Four Model Portfolios for Digital Asset Investors@Grayscale has launched a suite of four model portfolios designed to give both institutional and individual investors structured, objective-driven exposure to the digital asset market. The move builds on the firm's existing exchange-traded product (ETP) lineup and is aimed squarely at financial advisers looking to allocate to crypto at scale.
All four portfolios are market-cap weighted, rebalanced quarterly, and subject to a 40% weighting cap per asset.
The four portfolios are:
Digital Assets Core Plus:
Digital Assets Leaders:
Digital Assets Next Gen:
Digital Assets Infrastructure: Targets the protocols powering smart contracts, tokenization, and related blockchain infrastructure, giving investors a way to back the foundational layer of the ecosystem rather than individual currencies.
A Broader Push Into Mainstream Finance
The model portfolio launch represents a further step in that direction, offering pre-constructed frameworks rather than leaving allocation decisions entirely to individual advisers or investors.
The timing reflects a broader shift in the industry. Financial advisers have faced growing client demand for digital asset exposure but have often lacked ready-made tools to deploy allocations efficiently. Grayscale's model portfolios aim to close that gap by packaging its ETP range into defined, rebalancing strategies.

PANews, September 14 - CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha pointed out that ahead of this week's Federal Reserve decision, Binance's multi-asset reserves show a clear divergence. Bitcoin reserves rose to approximately 690,000 BTC on August 13, about 3% higher than the February peak and only about 2% lower than the level of approximately 704,000 BTC in August 2024. The analysis pointed out that an increase in exchange reserves is not necessarily bearish: when reserves reached approximately 704,000 BTC in August 2024, BTC price was near $59,000, but it subsequently broke through $120,000 in October 2025. Currently, BTC is near $76,800, about 30% higher than the comparable price in August 2024.
The divergence is even more pronounced for Ethereum: Binance holds approximately 3.616 million ETH, nearly unchanged from June 9, while the ETH price has risen from approximately $1,625 to $2,500, an increase of nearly 54%. Stablecoin balances are also elevated, with USDT reserves near $38 billion, and USDC recovered from $4.11 billion on August 5 to approximately $5.2 billion, an increase of about 26.5%. Ahead of the FOMC meeting on September 15-16, BTC reserves are near historical highs while the price is 30% higher than in 2024, ETH has risen 54% while reserves are flat, and the combined USDT-USDC reserves remain above $43 billion. Taha believes that exchange reserves should be interpreted in conjunction with price and liquidity, rather than as a standalone directional signal.
MEXC has completed a migration of its $RIO token reserves from the Algorand blockchain to Ethereum, swapping holdings at a 1:1 ratio. The move, confirmed through Realio Network’s official channels on September 14, 2026, is part of a broader recovery process the project has been managing following an unspecified incident affecting its reserves.
The new token now lives at Ethereum contract address 0x94a8b4EE5CD64C79D0Ee816f467EA73009f51aA0, verifiable on Etherscan. For anyone wondering whether their holdings survived the crossing, that address is the definitive reference point.
What actually happened here Realio Network is a real-world asset tokenization platform, meaning it helps bring traditionally illiquid assets like private equity and real estate onto public blockchains.
$RIO functions as the network’s utility and gas token. Since its initial launch in March 2023, $RIO has operated across multiple chains simultaneously, including Ethereum, Algorand, and Stellar, giving users flexibility in where they hold and transact the token.
The migration MEXC executed is not the exchange acting unilaterally. Realio Network directed the move, and MEXC followed through on its end by converting the Algorand-based holdings to the new ERC-20 version at a ratio that leaves holders with exactly what they started with, numerically speaking.
This is not the first time MEXC has navigated a $RIO chain transition. In late 2024, the exchange handled a similar contract swap for $RIO on Binance Smart Chain, also at 1:1, without disrupting trading.
As of the latest communications from Realio Network, no broader disruption to $RIO trading on MEXC has been reported. The project has indicated that further recovery steps will be announced through official channels.
Why Ethereum, and why it matters Moving from Algorand to Ethereum is not a lateral shuffle. Ethereum is, by most measures, the dominant chain for tokenized real-world assets, with more mature infrastructure, more extensive developer tooling, and a larger user base than almost every competing network.
The shift also simplifies the asset management picture for an exchange like MEXC. Maintaining reserve balances across multiple chains introduces operational complexity, and consolidating toward Ethereum reduces the number of moving parts to monitor during a recovery period.
Realio Network’s multi-chain architecture has always been a feature rather than an afterthought. The project launched in March 2023 with explicit support for several blockchains, recognizing that different user bases gravitate toward different ecosystems.
What to watch from here The immediate practical implication for $RIO holders on MEXC is straightforward: holdings are preserved at the same numeric value, just on a different underlying chain.
The more interesting question is what “additional recovery steps” from Realio Network actually entail. The project has been deliberate about not over-communicating on the nature of the original incident, and has stated it will keep users updated through official communications.

Blockchain Week Bulgaria has confirmed its agenda and speaker lineup for both flagship conferences: ETHSofia, taking place Sept. 24, and F3: Future Finance Forum, taking place Sept. 25. The two-day event will bring more than 50 confirmed speakers to Sofia Tech Park.
The program spans from Ethereum’s technical core to the institutions moving regulated finance onchain.
Speakers confirmed across both conferences include representatives from Chainlink Labs, J.P. Morgan Payments, Bitpanda, CertiK, ChainSecurity, Crédit Agricole CIB, Commerzbank AG, the Digital Euro Association, Eversheds Sutherland, Franklin Templeton, the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission, and the Ethereum Foundation.
ETHSofia, Third Edition: Program Highlights and SpeakersNow in its third edition, ETHSofia brings together developers, protocol teams, founders, and security researchers to dig into the technical core of the Ethereum ecosystem.
This year’s agenda covers smart contract security and OPSEC, DeFi, RWA tokenization, Ethereum development, onchain privacy, scaling, and self-custody. Security specialists from CertiK and ChainSecurity, infrastructure builders from Chainlink Labs and Aave Chain Initiative, and voices from the Ethereum Foundation are among those taking the stage.
“I work on the EU rules that decide how crypto-asset markets, AML compliance and privacy on public, permissionless blockchains fit together, not traded off against each other. Ethereum’s CROPS framework gets that right: privacy has to be non-negotiable at the protocol level, and EU law needs to make room for it across payments, compliance and infrastructure alike.” Vyara Savova, Senior Policy Expert, European Ethereum Institute.
F3: Future Finance Forum, Banks, Regulators, and Asset Managers on the Same StageF3 puts the institutional side of digital assets front and center, bringing banks, regulators, and asset managers onto the same stage to discuss how tokenization, custody, and digital-asset infrastructure are moving from pilot to production.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from J.P. Morgan Payments, Crédit Agricole CIB, Commerzbank AG, Franklin Templeton, Bitpanda, the Digital Euro Association, Eversheds Sutherland, the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, and the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission, covering MiCA and the regulatory landscape in Bulgaria, institutional digital-asset portfolios, RWA, custody, payments, and AI-driven financial infrastructure.
“The digital euro’s decisive challenge is adoption, not technology. Europe should position it as a sovereign public settlement layer, with banks and fintechs leading and competing on the customer experience above it. Without compelling economics, seamless integration, and clear everyday utility, it risks becoming technically impressive infrastructure with limited relevance.” Bojidar Ibrishimov, VP Growth & Innovation at Wiser

Three blockchain networks now control the overwhelming majority of the euro-denominated stablecoin market. Ethereum, Solana, and Base collectively account for 91.5% of all euro stablecoin market capitalization.
The total euro stablecoin market cap has reached approximately $835 million as of mid-August 2026. That figure represents a staggering expansion from roughly €50 million at the start of 2024.
Ethereum’s grip on the euro Ethereum commands about 69.5% of the euro stablecoin market, translating to somewhere between $579 million and $589 million in euro stablecoin supply on the network.
Solana sits in second place with roughly 14.8% of the market. Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 network built on Ethereum, rounds out the top three at approximately 6.9%.
Earlier in August, the total euro stablecoin supply was estimated between $805 million and $811 million, with the same three chains holding similar market shares.
MiCA changed everything MiCA-compliant stablecoin supply reached approximately $674 million by mid-2026. That means the vast majority of euro stablecoins in circulation now operate under a recognized regulatory umbrella.
Two issuers dominate the supply side. Circle’s EURC often represents up to 63% of the total euro stablecoin supply. SG Forge’s EURCV, backed by French banking giant Société Générale, holds a meaningful share as well. Together, the two tokens account for more than 80% of all euro stablecoins in circulation.
Other blockchain networks exist in this market, but barely. Gnosis, XRP Ledger, BNB Chain, and Avalanche are among the roughly 17 other chains hosting euro stablecoins, yet their combined share amounts to less than 9% of the total.

The formation of a major technical pattern on Ethereum (ETH) has begun to influence the performance of related highly liquid assets in the ERC-20 ecosystem.
As ETH prepares to break through resistance, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) spot market has recorded an unusual redistribution of capital among major players, confirming the token's status as the main proxy asset of the current market cycle.

A symmetrical triangle has formed on Ethereum's 12-hour chart. According to Ali Martinez's analysis (Ali Charts), the previous breakout from a similar formation drove a 31% gain in three days. A breakout above resistance at $2,474 would put the projected target at $3,000.
Ethereum 12-hour price chart highlighting a symmetrical triangle pattern near $2,474 with a projected upside target of $3,000. Source: Ali Martinez / XOn-chain statistics support the technical picture: immediately before the pattern formed, large holders withdrew more than $300 million in ETH from exchange addresses to cold wallets. Against the backdrop of declining supply, the coin is holding within the $2,480–$2,510 range after testing an eight-month high of $2,660.
The beta factor: Why Shiba Inu remains the Ethereum ecosystem's main "leverage" assetOn the spot market, SHIB/USD is holding within the $0.00000513–$0.00000527 range, while the relative strength index (RSI) on the daily timeframe stands at a neutral 52.14. As the underlying network builds momentum, daily netflow data from major regulated platforms has recorded structural changes in the token's liquidity:
Capital movements: Net outflows were recorded from spot wallets on Binance (-$122.02K) and Coinbase (-$156.07K), indicating withdrawals for long-term storage. Meanwhile, OKX (+$199.48K) and Bybit (+$93.82K) recorded net inflows.Trading volumes: The bulk of spot liquidity remained concentrated on Binance ($2.31M), while daily trading volume on Bybit fell 64.49% to $603.10K.

Shiba Inu's historically high liquidity within the ERC-20 ecosystem makes the token a natural "leverage" asset when traders take profits from Ethereum's price movements.
For the local bullish scenario to remain intact, SHIB must hold above the $0.00000500 support zone, while Ethereum must maintain its position within the boundaries of the 12-hour triangle.
Machi Big Brother is holding $151.17 million in leveraged long positions on Hyperliquid against an account value of $5.95 million. Every position points in the same direction.
Arkham data shows the trader has taken no offsetting short exposure. Two of his three assets have fallen over the past week.
Machi Big Brother Stacks $151 Million Across Three LongsThe largest leg is Ethereum (ETH). Machi holds 39,800 ETH at 25x leverage, a position worth $100 million, according to Arkham. His entry sits near $2,480.
Machi Big Brother Perp Positions. Source: ArkhamBitcoin (BTC) follows at $44.14 million. That covers 569 BTC at 40x, the highest leverage anywhere in the book. The third leg is Hyperliquid (HYPE). He holds 88,000 tokens at 10x leverage, worth $7.03 million.
All three entries sit within roughly 1% of current marks. Unrealized profit across the account totals $1.2 million. The ETH leg supplies $1.21 million of that figure.
Bitcoin contributes just $35,630 on a $44.14 million position. HYPE, meanwhile, sits $49,650 in the red. Spot holdings on the tracked addresses come to $0.55. The rest of the account value sits in perpetual futures.

Two of Three Assets Move the Wrong WayTwo of the three are already losing ground. Bitcoin has slipped 2.5% to around $77,548, while HYPE has fallen 7.3% to $79.86.
Only Ethereum held its ground. It trades at $2,510 and gained 0.6% on the week, which explains why it carries almost all of his profit.
The pullback follows a strong run. Over 30 days, HYPE has still climbed by 41.5%, Ethereum by 33.6%, and Bitcoin by 23.2%.
Institutional flows turned in the same week. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) shed $462.73 million in the week ending September 11, ending three straight weeks of inflows.
HYPE funds lost $26.42 million over the same period, breaking a five-week positive run. Ethereum products drew $197.11 million in inflows, marking a fourth consecutive weekly inflow.
Ethereum is carrying the entire book. Bitcoin and HYPE have both given ground, and the Federal Reserve meets on September 16 with high odds of a rate increase.
Higher rates typically weigh on risk assets, which would test the two legs where Machi holds heavy leverage.

Altcoin sezonu beklentileri, ağustos ayındaki yükselişin ardından yeniden sorgulanıyor. Ethereum ve Solana gibi büyük projeler kurumsal talebi artıran gelişmelere rağmen değer kaybederken, bazı altcoinler güçlü performans sergilemeyi başardı. Piyasadaki bu ayrışma, sermayenin hâlâ Bitcoin tarafında yoğunlaştığını gösteriyor.
Ethereum son bir haftada yaklaşık yüzde 2 geriledi. Buna karşın kurumsal yatırım şirketi Bitmine, aynı dönemde 28.086 ETH daha satın aldı ve şirketin Ethereum hazinesindeki miktar, toplam ETH arzının yaklaşık yüzde 4,9’una ulaştı.
Ethereum Ve Solana’da Kurumsal Talep Neden Yetmedi? Ethereum tarafında spot ETF’ler de pozitif bir tablo ortaya koydu. Söz konusu ürünlere toplam 218 milyon dolarlık giriş gerçekleşirken, Ethereum kurucu ortağı Vitalik Buterin de EIP-8141 teklifini gündeme getirdi. Öneri, stablecoin işlemlerini kolaylaştırmayı ve kullanıcıların gas ücretleri için özel olarak ETH tutma ihtiyacını azaltmayı hedefliyor.
Buna rağmen ETH fiyatındaki düşüş devam etti. Bu durum, olumlu temel gelişmelerin kısa vadede satış baskısını tamamen ortadan kaldırmaya yetmediğini gösteriyor.
Solana da benzer bir tablo çizdi. SOL yaklaşık yüzde 4 değer kaybederken, ağ daha büyük ve karmaşık DeFi işlemlerini gerçekleştirme kapasitesini geliştiren Transaction V1 yükseltmesini devreye aldı.
Kurumsal tarafta ise DeFi Development Corp. dikkat çekti. Şirket, SOL satın almak amacıyla 11 milyon dolar topladı. Ancak spot SOL ETF’lerinde sınırlı çıkışlar görülmesi ve genel piyasa zayıflığı, token üzerindeki baskının devam etmesine neden oldu.
Hangi Altcoin Projeleri Yükseldi, Hangileri Düştü? Piyasanın tamamı düşüş yaşamadı. XRP, RLUSD piyasa değerinin 2,3 milyar doları aşmasına rağmen daha sert geriledi. BNB ise yüzde 1,5 düşerken BNB Chain tokenleştirilmiş varlıklar alanındaki konumunu güçlendirdi.
BNB Chain üzerinde yaklaşık 1,267 milyar dolarlık tokenleştirilmiş hisse bulunuyor. Bu rakam, toplam pazarın yüzde 44,6’sına denk geliyor ve BNB Chain’i Ethereum ile Solana’nın önüne taşıyor. Jupiter’in JUP tokenı ise tokenleştirilmiş varlık alanındaki genişlemesine rağmen yalnızca yüzde 0,7 geriledi.
Yükselen tarafta Tron yüzde 2,7 değer kazandı. Canary Capital’ın TRXS adlı ilk spot staking destekli TRON ETF’sini başlatması, TRX için önemli bir katalizör oldu.
Aptos yüzde 6,4 yükseldi. Bitwise’ın potansiyel spot Aptos ETF’si için S-1 başvurusu yapması, APT’ye kurumsal erişimin genişleyebileceği beklentisini artırdı.
En güçlü performansı ise Kaspa gösterdi. KAS yüzde 23 yükselirken dolaşımdaki arzın hard cap’in yaklaşık yüzde 96,5’ine ulaşması, gelecekteki arz seyrelmesine ilişkin endişeleri azalttı.
Bitcoin Hakimiyeti Altcoin Sezonunu Geciktiriyor Mu? Piyasanın genel görünümü hâlâ Bitcoin lehine. Altcoin sezon endeksi haber sırasında 40 seviyesinde bulunuyordu. Bu değer, piyasanın henüz belirgin biçimde altcoin sezonuna geçmediğini ve Bitcoin sezonunun daha güçlü olduğunu gösteriyor.
Ayrıca altcoin vadeli işlemlerindeki açık pozisyon miktarı, Aralık 2024’ten bu yana ilk kez Bitcoin’in üzerine çıktı. Bu gelişme, yatırımcıların altcoinlerde daha agresif kaldıraçlı pozisyonlar aldığını gösteriyor.
Bitcoin ise haber sırasında 76.751,69 dolardan işlem görüyordu. BTC son 24 saatte sınırlı bir düşüş yaşamasına rağmen son bir ayda yüzde 22’nin üzerinde değer kazandı.
Bitcoin hakimiyeti de yüzde 59,29 seviyesinde bulunuyor ve günlük bazda 0,18 puan yükselmiş durumda. Bu tablo, sermayenin altcoinler yerine BTC’yi tercih etmeye devam ettiğine işaret ediyor.
60% Direnç Kırılırsa Altcoin Fiyatları Ne Yaşayabilir? Bitcoin hakimiyetinin yeniden yüzde 60 seviyesindeki kritik direnci test etmesi, piyasanın geleceği açısından önemli. İşlem hacimlerinin zayıf kalması ve makroekonomik belirsizliğin yeniden artması, BTC hakimiyetinin bu bölgede reddedilmesine yol açabilir.
Böyle bir senaryo gerçekleşirse sermayenin altcoinlere yönelmesi ve eylül ayındaki hareketlere benzer yeni bir altcoin rallisinin başlaması mümkün. Ancak bu ihtimal henüz kesinleşmiş değil.
Gerçek bir altcoin sezonu sinyali için altcoinlerin kendi önemli direnç seviyelerini aşması gerekiyor. Bu nedenle kripto para piyasasında yalnızca Bitcoin hakimiyetini değil, fiyat kırılımlarını ve işlem hacmini birlikte takip etmek gerekiyor.
Bu içerik kesinlikle yatırım tavsiyesi niteliği taşımamaktadır. Piyasalar yüksek risk içermektedir ve yatırım kararlarınızı almadan önce kendi araştırmanızı yapmanız önemlidir.

Ethereum’s rally pushes Ether’s growth to nearly 60.6% since July 1st. Only the third quarter of 2025 performed better, yet the ranking remains provisional until September 30.
In brief ETH gains 60.6% since July 1st, marking its second-best third quarter. The 2025 record remains within reach, with a gap limited to 5.93 percentage points. The August rally strengthened the trend, moving towards the $2500 zone. Institutional purchases support demand, while a portion of held ETH is locked in staking. The $2550 to $2650 zone becomes decisive for Ethereum to target a new quarterly record. Ethereum gains 60.6 % since the start of the quarter The ETH price traded around 2492 dollars on September 13, compared to approximately 1550 dollars at the start of the quarter. This 60.62% change ranks this year’s third quarter as the second-best third quarter in Ethereum’s history.
However, the record is still held by the third quarter of 2025 with a 66.55% increase. The gap between the two periods is only about 5.93 percentage points. Nevertheless, the comparison covers a period that is not yet finished.
Key data reveals the proximity to the record :
ETH gains approximately 60.62% since July 1st ; The third quarter record reached 66.55% in 2025 ; The gap between the two performances is limited to 5.93 points ; The current quarter will end on September 30 ; An additional rise of about 3.7% would be enough to beat the record. Indeed, from a price of 2492 dollars, this last movement could bring ETH around 2584 dollars. Precisely, this level is found in the main resistance zone identified by analysts.
This performance does not represent Ethereum’s second-best absolute quarter. Various first and second quarters have recorded much higher rebounds, especially during the blockchain’s early years. This is only the second-best third quarter.
The August rebound changed the technical trend Most of Ethereum’s rally occurred in August. After many weeks of consolidation between 1850 and 1950 dollars, ETH surpassed 2000 dollars before quickly reaching the zone between 2400 and 2500 dollars.
Such progress was accompanied by an increase in volumes. Afterwards, the price did not automatically lose its gains. It stabilized between 2400 and 2550 dollars, allowing it to absorb some of the acquisitions made during the move.
It is also worth noting an improvement in the technical structure. ETH now trades above its main moving averages, according to provided information. Thus, short-term averages rise below the price, while various long-term indicators are located between 2180 and 2250 dollars.
A first support zone lies around 2350 to 2400 dollars. Maintaining it could preserve the momentum built since July. A break could bring the price back down to long-term supports.
Institutional purchases reduce available supply During the quarter, corporate treasuries consolidated their exposure to Ether. Notably, NitMine held 5.90 million ETH as of August 30, representing 4.9% of the supply used as a reference in its filing with the SEC.
The company had placed 5.07 million ETH in staking. Nearly 86% of its holdings were thus locked to secure Ethereum and generate rewards. Such a strategy decreases the amount of tokens automatically available for sale, without guaranteeing an immediate price increase.
Tom Lee, BitMine’s president, highlighted: “ETH is the best-performing macroeconomic asset in Q3 2026 so far.” However, his assessment should be considered in context. The company benefits directly from a rise in Ether.
Corporate acquisitions and flows into investment products support demand. Nevertheless, a slowdown would weaken the movement, especially after a rise of over 60% in less than three months.
The $2,650 resistance will decide the record This momentum is beginning to lose strength. The RSI index had approached an overbought zone during the August rise, then returned to around 55. This easing reduces the risk of overheating but also signals less aggressive acquisitions.
The next resistance ranges from $2550 to $2650. A sustained breakthrough could place ETH above the theoretical level needed to beat the third quarter 2025 performance. Then, it could open the way to $2700, and eventually $3000.
Conversely, a drop below $2350 could weaken Ethereum’s rally. This fall would reduce its quarterly performance. The $2584 level and the September 30 close will therefore help determine whether this year maintains second place or establishes a new record.

Three major AI giants have collectively called for a slowdown in AI development, but Trump directly rejected the call, stating: "Whoever wins AI will win"
Breaking news from Beating AI Insight: After Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk successively called for slowing down frontier AI development, Donald Trump has explicitly rejected such appeals. He acknowledged that safety guardrails could be added to AI, but argued that many catastrophic predictions will never come to pass. Trump stated that the U.S. is currently ahead of China in AI and hopes to maintain that lead. "Whoever wins the AI race wins everything," he said. He also criticized that many "negative forces" are hyping things that will never happen.

Alleged Gen Z trader 0xRay518 has been steadily adding to short positions in PONS and SNDK recently, and trimmed his Bitcoin short position this morning to lock in profits.
According to monitoring by TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), 0xRay518, a prominent post-2000s crypto trader, added short positions in PONS and SNDK over the weekend. As of press time, the address holds $13.46 million worth of 10x SNDK shorts and $3.62 million worth of 3x PONS shorts, making it the second-largest short position holder on Hyperliquid.

Doubao Mobile Assistant Officially Launches: GUI Operation App Remains, App Can Reject AI Operations
Beating AI News: Doubao Officially Launches Consumer Version of Its Mobile Assistant. It remains an AI assistant software that operates in collaboration with mobile manufacturers at the system level. The first mass-produced device, nubia NaviX Ultra, was previously announced and is set to launch and go on sale on September 16. The "phone operation" feature, which sparked the most controversy earlier, has not been scrapped and remains in Beta form. Doubao also launched the SAEP (Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol), allowing third-party apps to set their own rules on whether the AI can perform screen reading, tapping, and operations within their apps; if an app explicitly refuses, Doubao will not proceed with automated operations. In July, LatePost reported that the new generation of Doubao mobile assistant would no longer directly operate super apps like Alibaba and Tencent via GUI. Only when these apps proactively open MCP services can Doubao call their relevant data and functions. MCP refers to interfaces that apps proactively open for Doubao, while SAEP governs the scope of operations developers allow Doubao to perform when interacting with apps via screen reading and simulated taps. Both mechanisms are now in place simultaneously.

Bonk Guy’s shilling of the Arc Chain Launchpad platform has sparked criticism, with the platform facing accusations of holding rug pull privileges.
Well-known crypto KOL Bonk Guy posted early this morning that he has purchased LONG, the native token of Arc’s main Launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins, citing short-term trading opportunities on the Arc blockchain. Driven by the news, LONG’s market cap surged 27-fold in a short period. On-chain analytics show that multiple new addresses accumulated LONG at low levels yesterday, and the pump pushed their positions to unrealized gains of hundreds of thousands of US dollars. Additionally, crypto KOL 0xShawn, who previously arbitraged $230,000 by minting BNC4 at off-exchange prices via Four.meme, stated that the long.supply platform holds rug pull privileges and can mint fake USDT at any time. The platform built a cross-chain bridge for Robinhood-chain stock tokens via its own custom cross-chain infrastructure; the stock tokens on the Arc chain are not issued by the official, but by the platform itself. Moreover, the cross-chain bridge’s underlying protocol is not a reliable one like Wormhole or LayerZero (L0). This means: "The project team can shut down the cross-chain bridge at any time and siphon off the locked funds from the Robinhood chain. You are essentially exchanging your real USDT for fake USDT on the Arc chain, similar to the eUSD platform before its launch, which was eventually shut down after an emergency investigation by authorities." BlockBeats reminds users that celebrity shilling may involve conflicts of interest, and users should carefully vet the security of related projects and invest cautiously.

Washington is sending mixed signals on the CLARITY Act just over a day before its make-or-break Senate vote, and the disagreement itself is becoming part of the story.
Two Conflicting Reports
ClaimSourceDetails“Clarity is dead”Renato Mariotti, former federal prosecutorSays multiple members of Congress and staff told him this directly in DCBill is on trackFaryar Shirzad, Coinbase Chief Policy OfficerFeels “pretty good” about odds; cites bipartisan momentumStill very much aliveKristin Smith, Solana Policy InstituteSays push is on for a September vote; most police associations now neutral or supportiveWhy Some Say It’s Not Dead
Bipartisan House support: Every Republican plus roughly 80 Democrats backed the House version250 pages of Democratic priorities folded into the Senate draftWhite House–Senate Democrat deal: First-ever Democratic nominees to SEC and CFTC under TrumpNew ethics package: Restricts the president’s own crypto dealings, a historic firstWhite House meeting: Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse, Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, and Chainlink’s CEO met directly with Trump, the SEC chair, and CFTC chair to work through sticking pointsThe Vote Mechanics That Matter
ScenarioWhat Happens NextBill clears 60 votes on Sept 15 procedural voteMomentum expected to carry it to final passageBill fails to reach 60 votesMurky outcome; possible emergency talks, or the bill could stall entirelyWhy Legislation Matters More Than Agency Rules
Congressman French Hill argues relying on SEC or CFTC rulemaking instead of a real law is risky:
Agency rules can be challenged in court for yearsOpponents of crypto regulation are expected to fund legal challengesA law is far harder to unwind than a regulatory exemptionWhat CLARITY Actually Changes for Each Asset
AssetCurrent StatusWhat CLARITY Would DoBitcoinGenerally treated as a commodity; CFTC oversight limited to fraud/manipulationGives CFTC direct regulatory power over Bitcoin trading platformsEthereumRegulatory status has long been ambiguousCreates a formal pathway: fundraising under SEC, later trading potentially under CFTC if sufficiently decentralizedXRPSame ambiguity as Ethereum, further complicated by past SEC litigationSame dual-track framework, offering a defined route out of securities classification over timeWhat Happens If CLARITY Dies
Crypto does not become unregulatedExisting law, courts, and individual states continue enforcing rules as they do todayLegal boundaries stay reactive, often only clarified after enforcement actions or disputesIndustry voices argue this uncertainty keeps pushing innovation and capital offshoreThe Global Stakes
One Bitcoin-holding executive called CLARITY “a blueprint more countries will soon follow,” pointing to how the EU’s MiCA framework previously pushed countries like Brazil to accelerate their own crypto legislation. A failed CLARITY Act would remove that benchmark for other nations currently modeling frameworks on the US approach.
Vote dateSeptember 15Votes needed60 to clear first procedural hurdleBiggest remaining sticking pointEthics provisions and a handful of holdout senators on both sidesWhat’s confirmedNothing yet — both “dead” and “on track” claims remainCrypto analyst Tony said the Senate’s cloture vote on the CLARITY Act on Tuesday, could send the market higher if it passes, potentially triggering a major rally on the Bitcoin chart that altcoins would likely follow.
He pointed to a bullish divergence already forming on Bitcoin’s chart, alongside a bearish divergence in stablecoin dominance, as signs the market has simply been consolidating after its last major move rather than turning bearish.
Tony pushed back on bearish predictions tied to the four-year cycle theory, which call for Bitcoin to drop toward $30,000-$40,000 in October. He said the current charts don’t support that outcome, calling it a low-probability scenario despite it being technically possible. The analyst also flagged a separate crypto tax hearing scheduled in the House for Wednesday, September 16, saying progress there would add to an already eventful week for the industry.
Until the actual vote happens, both the pessimistic and optimistic accounts remain speculation rather than fact, and Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP’s regulatory clarity hinges entirely on whether Washington can convert months of negotiation into 60 votes on the day itself.

Key Takeaways Technical analyst Ali Charts identifies a triangle pattern on ETH’s 12-hour timeframe that historically preceded a 31% rally, potentially targeting $3,000 Spot Ethereum ETFs attracted $216.41 million in fresh capital on September 11, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for $148.82 million Ethereum successfully breached the critical $2,300–$2,400 resistance barrier, now establishing it as potential support Current MACD indicators show declining momentum as ETH trades around $2,478 with an RSI reading of 51.77 Should price slip beneath $2,490, the next significant support zone lies at $2,400 Ethereum currently trades at approximately $2,478 while market observers monitor an emerging technical formation that suggests a potential climb toward $3,000. Meanwhile, market participants are closely tracking the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting set for September 15–16, as any decisions regarding interest rates could significantly impact risk-oriented assets including cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum (ETH) Price Technical analyst Ali Charts has identified a triangle consolidation pattern developing on Ethereum’s 12-hour chart. Historically, when a comparable triangle structure broke out previously, ETH experienced a dramatic 31% price increase within a mere 72-hour period. Ali Charts shared via X: “The last triangle breakout sent Ethereum surging 31% in just three days. Now, another triangle is forming. If $ETH breaks out again, a similar move could send it to $3,000.” It’s important to note this represents a potential scenario rather than a certainty.
Another market analyst known as Wealthmanager observed on September 13 that Ethereum has successfully penetrated its higher timeframe resistance barrier between $2,300–$2,400, an accomplishment Bitcoin hasn’t yet achieved at its corresponding resistance level of $82,000–$83,000. Wealthmanager anticipates ETH could touch $3,000 before experiencing a potential retracement toward the $2,300 region.
Strong Institutional Capital Flows Into Spot ETFs Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds witnessed substantial net capital inflows totaling $216.41 million on September 11. BlackRock’s ETHA product dominated with $148.82 million in single-day inflows. Bitwise’s ETHW secured $29.09 million, while BlackRock’s ETHB gathered an additional $18.32 million, and Fidelity’s FETH contributed $11.40 million to the total.
Grayscale’s ETH product captured $5.09 million in new flows, with VanEck’s ETHV adding $3.71 million. Grayscale ETHE and Franklin EZET reported zero new inflows for the period. Cumulative historical inflows have now reached $13.39 billion, while net assets under management stand at $16.31 billion — accounting for 5.28% of Ethereum’s entire market capitalization. Daily trading activity on September 11 hit $2.56 billion.
Critical Technical Indicators and Price Levels Market analyst Daan Crypto Trades observed that ETH has retraced toward its breakout region following its recent upward movement. He emphasized that open interest in perpetual futures contracts has declined, potentially alleviating some leveraged position pressure within the market.
Ethereum is presently consolidating near the middle Bollinger Band positioned at $2,470. The upper boundary registers at $2,543 while the lower band tracks at $2,396. The MACD indicator shows the main line at 81.68 trading beneath its signal line of 99.69, with a histogram value of -18.01, indicating diminishing bullish momentum.
The Relative Strength Index on the four-hour timeframe reads 51.77, marginally above the neutral threshold of 50. A decisive push above $2,550 would put the recent $2,600 peak back into play as the next upside objective. Should downward pressure intensify, Ethereum’s next substantial support foundation below current levels remains firmly established at $2,400.
Ethereum is trading near $2,478, drawing attention from analysts and investors as several technical indicators point to a potential rally toward the $3,000 mark. The broader cryptocurrency market is also closely monitoring the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, which could influence sentiment across risk assets.
Triangle pattern signals possible breakoutTechnical analyst Ali Charts has highlighted a triangle consolidation pattern forming on Ethereum’s 12-hour chart. In previous instances, a similar structure led to a 31% surge in ETH prices within a three-day window, raising speculation about a possible repeat of this sharp upward movement.
Ali Charts noted that Ethereum’s last triangle breakout propelled the asset 31% in only three days, and suggested that if the current formation breaks to the upside, ETH could climb to $3,000, though such moves cannot be guaranteed.
Another analyst operating under the moniker Wealthmanager pointed out that Ethereum has decisively breached the key resistance band between $2,300 and $2,400. By contrast, Bitcoin remains below its corresponding long-term resistance between $82,000 and $83,000. Wealthmanager predicts that if momentum continues, ETH could test $3,000 before facing a potential retracement back to the $2,300 zone.
ETF inflows boost institutional confidenceEthereum-focused exchange-traded funds drew substantial net inflows of $216.41 million on September 11, underlining growing institutional appetite for the asset. BlackRock, one of the world’s largest investment management firms, saw its ETHA product lead with $148.82 million in daily inflows. Other notable flows included $29.09 million into Bitwise’s ETHW, $18.32 million into BlackRock’s ETHB, and $11.40 million into Fidelity’s FETH ETF.

BlackRock is among the world’s most prominent asset management companies, known for its influence across global financial markets.
Mini dictionary: Spot Ethereum ETF, a type of exchange-traded fund that allows investors to gain direct exposure to Ethereum’s price movements without holding the cryptocurrency itself. These products trade on traditional stock exchanges.
Key technical signals and support levelsMarket analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted that Ethereum has returned to its prior breakout zone after its latest up move. He pointed out that open interest in perpetual futures contracts has declined, which may ease volatility caused by excessive leverage.
Daan Crypto Trades highlighted a significant reduction in open interest for ETH perpetual futures, indicating that many leveraged positions have been flushed out and the market may have reset for its next move.
From a technical perspective, Ethereum is currently trading close to the middle Bollinger Band at $2,470, with the upper and lower bands set at $2,543 and $2,396, respectively. MACD indicators suggest declining bullish momentum, as the MACD main line remains below its signal line and the histogram reflects minor negative values.
The four-hour Relative Strength Index stands at 51.77, slightly above the neutral midpoint. If ETH can surpass $2,550, analysts see a quick path retesting the recent $2,600 high. Any drop below $2,490, however, may bring the $2,400 support region back into focus as the next safety net.
Petrol fiyatları haftaya sert yükselişle başlarken Bitcoin ve değerli metaller yönünü aşağı çevirdi. Brent petrolü %2,75 artışla 107,48 dolara, Batı Teksas petrolü ise %2,51 yükselişle 102,56 dolara çıktı. Aynı saatlerde Bitcoin, altın, gümüş ve bakır geriledi. Piyasalar şimdi çarşamba günkü Fed kararına hazırlanıyor.
Petrol Neden Yeniden Yükseldi? Petrol fiyatlarındaki hareketin arkasında yeni bir arz endişesi bulunuyor. Suudi Arabistan, Irak’tan düzenlenen drone saldırılarında zarar gören East-West petrol boru hattını geçen haftanın sonunda kapattı.
Bu hat, Suudi Arabistan’ın petrol ihracatını Hürmüz Boğazı’ndan geçmeden gerçekleştirmesine imkan sağlıyor. Reuters’a göre hattaki kesinti, küresel petrol arzının %4’üne kadarını riske atabilir.
Buna Yemen’deki Husilerin Suudi Arabistan’a yönelik yeni saldırıları ve Hürmüz Boğazı’ndaki bir gemiye yönelik saldırı da eklendi. Husiler ayrıca cuma günü Bab el-Mandeb bölgesindeki Perim Adası’na ulaştı. Bu güzergâh küresel petrol arzının yaklaşık %4-5’ini taşıyor.
Brent petrolündeki haftalık yükseliş de %8’e ulaştı. Fiyat böylece temmuzdan bu yana ilk kez 100 doların üzerine çıktı.
IG analisti Tony Sycamore, Umman’daki görüşmelerden somut bir sonuç çıkmaması halinde Brent petrolünün mart ayındaki 119,48 dolarlık zirveye doğru yeniden ilerleyebileceğini belirtti. Körfez ülkeleri ile İran arasında Umman’da yapılması planlanan görüşme ise ertelendi.
Fed Faiz Artışı Beklentisi Neden Yükseldi? Petroldeki arz şokuna piyasaların Fed beklentisi de eşlik ediyor. Son enflasyon verilerinin beklentileri aşmasının ardından yatırımcılar, çarşamba günü Fed’in faiz artırma ihtimalini %86,3 olarak fiyatlıyor.
Bu oran bir hafta önce %59,4, bir ay önce ise yalnızca %33,9 seviyesindeydi.
Piyasanın beklentisine göre Fed, politika faizini 375-400 baz puan aralığına çıkarabilir. Böyle bir hamle, yüksek faiz ortamının daha uzun sürebileceğine ilişkin endişeleri artırabilir.
Bitcoin Ve Ethereum’da Son Durum Ne? Faiz beklentilerindeki yükseliş kripto piyasasında da hissedildi. Toplam kripto para piyasasının değeri son 24 saatte %4,32 düşerek 2,62 trilyon dolara geriledi.
Bitcoin 76.718 dolar civarında işlem görürken son bir haftadaki kaybı %4,4 seviyesinde. Ethereum ise %1,79 gerileyerek 2.478,43 dolara indi.
Böylece petrol tarafındaki arz endişeleri büyürken Bitcoin ve diğer riskli varlıklar daha sıkı para politikası beklentisinin baskısıyla karşı karşıya kaldı.
Altın Ve Gümüş Neden Korunamadı? Değerli metaller de piyasadaki dalgalanmadan kaçamadı. Altın %0,22 düşerek 4.340,58 dolara, gümüş %0,25 gerileyerek 64,11 dolara indi. Bakırın kaybı ise %1,08 oldu ve fiyat 6,40 dolara çekildi.
Altın gibi güvenli liman olarak görülen bir varlığın da gerilemesi dikkat çekiyor. Yükselen petrol fiyatlarının enflasyonu artırabileceği endişesi, Fed’in daha sıkı bir politika izleyebileceği beklentisini güçlendiriyor. Bu da faiz getirisi bulunmayan değerli metaller üzerinde baskı yaratıyor.
Çarşamba Günü Piyasalar Ne Bekliyor? Piyasalar aynı anda iki farklı hikâyeyi fiyatlıyor. Petrol tarafında savaş ve arz kesintileri nedeniyle yeni bir fiyat şoku riski bulunuyor. Bitcoin ve metaller ise Fed’in daha yüksek faiz politikasına ilişkin beklentileri takip ediyor.
Bu ayrışma çarşamba günü daha net görülebilir. Fed’in faiz kararı, piyasanın enflasyon ve petrol şokuna nasıl tepki vereceği konusunda belirleyici olacak. Faiz artışının yanında Fed Başkanı Kevin Warsh’ın vereceği mesajlar da Bitcoin, altın ve diğer riskli varlıkların yönü açısından yakından izlenecek.

Three major AI giants have collectively called for a slowdown in AI development, but Trump directly rejected the call, stating: "Whoever wins AI will win"
Breaking news from Beating AI Insight: After Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk successively called for slowing down frontier AI development, Donald Trump has explicitly rejected such appeals. He acknowledged that safety guardrails could be added to AI, but argued that many catastrophic predictions will never come to pass. Trump stated that the U.S. is currently ahead of China in AI and hopes to maintain that lead. "Whoever wins the AI race wins everything," he said. He also criticized that many "negative forces" are hyping things that will never happen.

Alleged Gen Z trader 0xRay518 has been steadily adding to short positions in PONS and SNDK recently, and trimmed his Bitcoin short position this morning to lock in profits.
According to monitoring by TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), 0xRay518, a prominent post-2000s crypto trader, added short positions in PONS and SNDK over the weekend. As of press time, the address holds $13.46 million worth of 10x SNDK shorts and $3.62 million worth of 3x PONS shorts, making it the second-largest short position holder on Hyperliquid. Separately, 0xRay518 cut his Bitcoin short position by 49.12 BTC this morning, and still holds $81.52 million worth of 20x Bitcoin shorts. Public records show 0xRay518 launched his investment career at 14 in 2020, trading shipping stocks with $3,000 in New Year’s lucky money, peaking at roughly $300,000 in profits before nearly blowing his account due to high leverage. Between 2021 and 2022, he pivoted to NFTs and crypto airdrops, earning his first substantial fortune from the Arbitrum airdrop. In 2025, he abandoned his mid-year high school senior exam halfway, went all-in with $1 million on TRUMP coin on the side, and exited with a 3x to 4x profit.

Doubao Mobile Assistant Officially Launches: GUI Operation App Remains, App Can Reject AI Operations
Beating AI News: Doubao Officially Launches Consumer Version of Its Mobile Assistant. It remains an AI assistant software that operates in collaboration with mobile manufacturers at the system level. The first mass-produced device, nubia NaviX Ultra, was previously announced and is set to launch and go on sale on September 16. The "phone operation" feature, which sparked the most controversy earlier, has not been scrapped and remains in Beta form. Doubao also launched the SAEP (Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol), allowing third-party apps to set their own rules on whether the AI can perform screen reading, tapping, and operations within their apps; if an app explicitly refuses, Doubao will not proceed with automated operations. In July, LatePost reported that the new generation of Doubao mobile assistant would no longer directly operate super apps like Alibaba and Tencent via GUI. Only when these apps proactively open MCP services can Doubao call their relevant data and functions. MCP refers to interfaces that apps proactively open for Doubao, while SAEP governs the scope of operations developers allow Doubao to perform when interacting with apps via screen reading and simulated taps. Both mechanisms are now in place simultaneously.

Bonk Guy’s shilling of the Arc Chain Launchpad platform has sparked criticism, with the platform facing accusations of holding rug pull privileges.
Well-known crypto KOL Bonk Guy posted early this morning that he has purchased LONG, the native token of Arc’s main Launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins, citing short-term trading opportunities on the Arc blockchain. Driven by the news, LONG’s market cap surged 27-fold in a short period. On-chain analytics show that multiple new addresses accumulated LONG at low levels yesterday, and the pump pushed their positions to unrealized gains of hundreds of thousands of US dollars. Additionally, crypto KOL 0xShawn, who previously arbitraged $230,000 by minting BNC4 at off-exchange prices via Four.meme, stated that the long.supply platform holds rug pull privileges and can mint fake USDT at any time. The platform built a cross-chain bridge for Robinhood-chain stock tokens via its own custom cross-chain infrastructure; the stock tokens on the Arc chain are not issued by the official, but by the platform itself. Moreover, the cross-chain bridge’s underlying protocol is not a reliable one like Wormhole or LayerZero (L0). This means: "The project team can shut down the cross-chain bridge at any time and siphon off the locked funds from the Robinhood chain. You are essentially exchanging your real USDT for fake USDT on the Arc chain, similar to the eUSD platform before its launch, which was eventually shut down after an emergency investigation by authorities." BlockBeats reminds users that celebrity shilling may involve conflicts of interest, and users should carefully vet the security of related projects and invest cautiously.

Long.xyz Founder: This Week to Roll Out Contract and Synthetic Asset Design Updates, Integrating Them with the Platform’s Top Trading Pairs
Long.xyz, a meme coin issuance platform built on Robinhood’s blockchain, founder Nate stated in a post that this week, perpetual contracts and synthetic assets will have great design scope, and they will be integrated with the platform’s top trading pairs. Last week, Long.xyz launched a 1x long position pool supporting tokenized positions of OpenAI and Anthropic, a product that was once widely hyped in the market.
Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee says Ethereum (ETH) is becoming the settlement layer for Wall Street and artificial intelligence (AI). He repeated the claim as ETH held up better than most major cryptocurrencies over the past week.
Lee, who chairs BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), made the comment in a reply on X. A trader had asked why Ethereum was outperforming nearly every other top ten coin during a broader crypto pullback.
The Wall Street and AI ThesisAsked directly why Ethereum was holding its ground, Lee pointed to the network’s emerging role as financial plumbing.
“$ETH is the future settlement rails for Wall Street and AI.”
— Tom Lee, in a reply on X
The reply echoes arguments from Lee’s bullish crypto outlook for the next 12 months. He ties Ethereum’s case to two forces, Wall Street’s tokenization of traditional assets and the rise of agentic AI. Agentic AI refers to autonomous software that can transact without human input.
Lee has also framed the recent ETH/BTC ratio breakout as evidence the market is pricing in that shift. BitMine has backed the thesis with purchases, pushing toward a 5% ether stake. The position still sits underwater on a cost basis.
Whether this reflects Lee’s thesis taking hold, or just short-term positioning, remains unclear. The answer may come clearer if Ethereum’s outperformance extends as other coins dip.
Ether Holds Up While Rivals SlipEther was among the few top-ten assets to trade higher over the past seven days. Tron (TRX) was the only other gainer, with stablecoins excluded. Bitcoin (BTC), BNB, XRP, Solana (SOL), Zcash (ZEC), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) all posted weekly losses, several exceeding 3%.
Ether changed hands around $2,518 on Monday, down roughly 0.1% over 24 hours. Bitcoin traded near $77,100, off more than 1.5% for the day.
The altcoin market is seeing a major shift after the August rally. Ethereum [ETH] has fallen about 2% despite bullish developments. In the past week alone, Bitmine added 28,086 ETH, bringing its treasury to nearly 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply.
At the same time, Spot ETH ETFs also saw $218 million in inflows. Meanwhile, Vitalik Buterin came up with an EIP-8141 proposal, which aims to simplify stablecoin transactions by reducing users’ need to hold ETH specifically for gas fees.
Joining the trail, Solana [SOL] dropped 4% despite activating its Transaction V1 upgrade, which improves its ability to handle larger and more complex DeFi transactions.
DeFi Development Corp. also raised $11 million to buy SOL, adding potential institutional demand. However, spot SOL ETFs recorded modest outflows, while broader market weakness kept pressure on the token.
Other altcoins that saw a dip Ripple’s XRP faced a even more sharper decline depsite RLUSD’s market cap surpassed $2.3 billion. Additionally, Binance Chain [BNB] fell 1.5%, although BNB Chain strengthened its position in tokenized assets.
It now holds approximately $1.267 billion in tokenized stocks, or 44.6% of the market, ahead of Ethereum and Solana. Jupiter’s JUP fell just 0.7% as it expanded into tokenized assets.
Altcoins that surged during the same period However, not all altcoins saw a dip, as Tron [TRON] gained 2.7%, helped by Canary Capital launching TRXS, the first spot-staked TRON ETF.
Aptos [APT] surged 6.4%, driven largely by Bitwise filing an S-1 for a potential spot Aptos ETF, raising expectations for greater institutional access to APT.
Kaspa [KAS] was the strongest performer, surging 23% as its circulating supply approached 96.5% of its hard cap, reducing concerns about future supply dilution.
The altcoin season index supports Bitcoin This comes on the heels of the altcoin season index, which was sitting at 40 at press time, which indicates the market is still leaning toward Bitcoin [BTC] season rather than altcoin season.
Source: CoinGlass Well, AMBCrypto’s recent report also shows altcoin Open Interest has surpassed Bitcoin’s for the first time since December 2024, signaling aggressive leveraged positioning.
This comes as Bitcoin was trading at $76,751.69 after a modest drop in the past 24 hours but a hike of over 22% in the past month.
Is Bitcoin dominance confusing investors? Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.29%, up 0.18%, showing that Bitcoin continues to command a strong share of the overall crypto market.
Source: Trading View The steady rise in dominance suggests capital is still favoring BTC over altcoins, reinforcing the current Bitcoin season trend.
However, with Bitcoin dominance again testing the key 60% resistance, weak trading volumes and renewed macro uncertainty could trigger another rejection, potentially paving the way for a September-like altcoin rally. However, the signal remains unconfirmed until altcoins break through key resistance levels.
Final Summary Altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Jupiter dropped after their August rally. Tron, Aptos, and Kaspa surged during the same period, but the altcoin index was at 40.
