Coinbase’s market share in global crypto trading dropped from 7% in January to 5.8% in July, relegating the US-based exchange to ninth place, according to a CoinGecko report. Despite a 61% month-on-month jump to $101.7 billion in July trading volume, Coinbase market share weakened amid mounting competition. Overall trading activity on seven of the top 10 exchanges fell in Q2 2025, with five platforms recording double-digit volume declines. Binance dominated spot trading in July with a 40% share and $698.3 billion in volume, while MEXC claimed second place with $150.4 billion and an 8.6% market share. The data highlight intensified competitive pressures and challenges for Coinbase in retaining users and trading activity, underscoring evolving dynamics in the global crypto exchange landscape.

Aave price is trading around $310, hitting a critical support level at $302 and facing resistance at $340. Analysts warn of two potential scenarios. A bearish “M” pattern could drive the Aave price down toward $230 if support at $302 fails. Conversely, a rising parallel channel suggests bullish momentum if price holds above $280 and $260. Traders should monitor the $302 support level and the $340 resistance level closely. A decisive break below $302 may trigger further declines, while a sustained move above $340 could open targets near $400. These support and resistance levels will shape short-term market trends and inform long-term trading strategies in this DeFi protocol.

Oliver Michael, CEO of Tokentus, forecasts a surge to $13 for XRP if key catalysts align. The first trigger is an expected XRP ETF approval now that Ripple’s SEC lawsuit has concluded. Michael highlights the potential impact if BlackRock files for an XRP ETF. Given BlackRock’s success with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, such a move could drive substantial inflows into the XRP market. He also anticipates new partnerships and greater XRP utility as Ripple expands globally. Recent acquisitions of stablecoin platform Rail and brokerage Hidden Road strengthen Ripple’s network. The XRP ETF approval could also boost confidence and spark a retail rally. Michael expects renewed retail investor interest to fuel XRP’s next leg up. With Bitcoin and Ethereum already rallying, traders may shift capital into XRP, seeking higher upside. XRP has already seen a 33% year-to-date gain, peaking at $3.60 this year. At the time of reporting, XRP trades around $3.10. If bullish momentum persists, a parabolic rally similar to last year’s 300% surge remains possible.

SHIB continues to trade under pressure, sliding over 60% since its November peak and 27% below year-to-date highs. Technical analysis shows SHIB below both 50- and 100-day EMAs, forming a bearish flag and head-and-shoulders pattern that risks a breakdown below key supports at $0.00001070 and $0.00001027, with potential to test $0.0000090. On-chain metrics paint a weak picture: burn rate swung from a 72% drop to a 1,550% surge hitting 3.77 million tokens, yet supply reduction failed to spark demand. Shibarium TVL tumbled to $1.69 million, trading volume lags at $222 million compared with Dogecoin, and futures open interest and whale holdings both wane. This convergence of bearish signals and poor market sentiment suggests limited near-term upside and continued downside risk for SHIB.

Bitcoin Standard Treasury (BSTR), led by cryptography pioneer Adam Back, is preparing a Nasdaq listing through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners (CEPO). With 30,021 BTC currently on its balance sheet, BSTR targets increasing its bitcoin reserves to over 50,000 BTC. Hitting this milestone would make BSTR the second-largest public BTC holder, behind MicroStrategy (MSTR) and ahead of Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA). Together, MSTR, MARA and BSTR control around 710,000 BTC, or 3.38% of the 21 million fixed supply. Traders should watch BSTR’s reserve buildup and Nasdaq IPO, as these developments could impact bitcoin market liquidity and institutional adoption.

deVere Group forecasts a bullish Bitcoin price prediction, projecting BTC to reach $150,000 by the end of 2025. The global financial adviser points to four converging market forces: record-level institutional capital inflows via spot ETFs, corporate treasury adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, active U.S. policy support from the White House, and growing sovereign interest in cryptocurrency yields. deVere’s founder and CEO Nigel Green argues that these factors are driving the next wave of upward momentum and underpin the latest Bitcoin price prediction. Traders should monitor ETF inflows and policy developments for potential trading opportunities and risk management.

The US Federal Reserve has ended its Novel Activities Supervision Program, which since 2023 enforced specialized crypto oversight of banks’ digital asset dealings. The Fed will now fold crypto supervision into its regular bank review processes. Under the shift, US banks may offer services such as dollar-backed stablecoins without seeking prior Fed approval. The decision follows a presidential executive order targeting unfair banking practices, including elements of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and aims to level the playing field for digital asset providers. Regulators recently clarified that custodianship of crypto assets will adhere to the same rules governing other assets. Senator Cynthia Lummis lauded the move as a “big win” ending targeted crypto oversight. Industry figures, including Michael Saylor, echoed that the path is clear for Bitcoin and banking. The program’s closure is expected to reduce regulatory friction, expand institutional participation, and boost confidence in digital asset markets.

Solana price momentum has cooled after a surge to $209, slipping to around $184.27 amid losing weekly returns and open interest. The US SEC postponed decisions on Solana ETFs until November, prompting traders to pull back. Despite prior accumulation, Solana bulls face renewed downward pressure. Meanwhile, the Remittix (RTX) project is rising on trending lists with its PayFi solution. Remittix enables direct crypto-to-fiat transfers via API calls, bypassing intermediaries. Its presale price at $0.0922 per token has drawn investors and fueled expectations that the platform could rival Ripple (XRP) in cross-border payments. Traders should monitor Solana’s ETF outlook and the Remittix launch. Short-term volatility may persist for SOL ahead of regulatory clarity. Long-term, Remittix’s entry into the trillion-dollar payments sector could reshape PayFi adoption and influence market sentiment.

Over recent weeks, BitMine has bolstered its Ethereum treasury through two dip purchases totaling 163,785 ETH (about $730 million). Initial acquisition of 28,650 ETH (~$130 million) was followed by 135,135 ETH (~$600 million), lifting the Ethereum treasury to 1.297 million ETH (≈$5.77 billion). This institutional investment underscores BitMine’s long-term confidence in Ethereum. Data from Arkham’s Lookonchain spotlights growing institutional interest in ETH. BitMine timed the latest buy during a 2.18% ETH price dip to accumulate at lower levels. The firm is also investing in layer-2 solutions to enhance transaction speeds and will update investors on new partnerships and tech integrations. Market watchers note that total ETH reserves across firms and ETF wallets could soon exceed $70 billion. Short-term Ethereum treasury price action will hinge on U.S. PPI data, Fed minutes and the Jackson Hole symposium. Sustained closes above $4,150 may drive Ethereum treasury valuations higher, while risk-off shifts could prompt sideways or downward moves.

BONK token, a Solana-based meme coin, traded in a narrow range between $0.000023 support and $0.000026 resistance as institutional traders moved 4.02 trillion tokens. Early session selling at $0.000026 drove prices down 6% to $0.000023, where 1.07 trillion tokens were bought to defend support. Later, volume spikes of 21.99 billion and 31.43 billion tokens signaled large-scale accumulation, lifting the price by 1% to $0.00002425. CoinDesk Research analysts note that a sustained break above $0.000025 could trigger a stronger rally, while falling below $0.000023 risks retesting August lows. The BONK token’s price action underscores the impact of institutional trading and technical levels on market volatility, setting the stage for a potential breakout or breakdown.

On August 16, 2025, an unknown Ethereum wallet withdrew 9,006 ETH from Kraken, contributing to a total of over 17,000 ETH pulled from the exchange that day. Such large-scale ETH withdrawals often signal a shift toward self-custody or staking, reducing Kraken’s on-chain liquidity and tightening available trading supply. This can trigger short-term price volatility and market depth constraints while potentially underpinning higher price floors if staking demand remains strong. Traders should closely monitor Kraken’s ETH reserves and on-chain flows, adjusting strategies to account for possible liquidity shifts and increased volatility.

Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $59.3 million in net outflows on August 15, ending an eight-day $3.7 billion buying streak. Only BlackRock’s ETHA ETF saw $338 million of inflows amid broader rotation. The pullback followed Ethereum’s rise to $4,781, just 10.2% below its November 2021 peak, and a $1.05 billion crypto liquidation triggered by hotter-than-expected US inflation data. During the same selloff, BlackRock accumulated $488 million of ETH and $526 million of BTC for its funds. BitMine acquired 106,485 ETH (valued at $470.5 million), while a mystery whale moved 92,899 ETH ($412 million) off Kraken, highlighting $882 million of institutional ETH accumulation. Over the past 30 days, BlackRock’s ETH holdings jumped 65%, compared with a 4% gain in BTC positions. Market sentiment diverged as retail traders grew fearful of Ethereum’s rally, even as institutional demand strengthened. Ethereum’s spot trading volume hit 1.66 times Bitcoin’s last week, its highest ratio since June 2017. Technical indicators show ETH consolidating around $4,400 with support at $4,367, opening a path toward $5,200–$5,400 on potential short squeezes in the $4,800–$5,200 liquidity zone. In this context, the brief outflows in Ethereum ETFs may offer an institutional accumulation window rather than a bearish signal. Traders should watch ETF flows, ETH/BTC ratio trends, and liquidity clusters for potential entry points.

Bitcoin rallied to a peak of $124,533 on August 14 after July’s Producer Price Index surprised with a 0.9% month-on-month gain, the highest in nearly three years. The cryptocurrency now trades around $117,741, with traders eyeing resistance levels at $127,000 and $144,000 based on a short-term holder realized price of $107,000. Mixed inflation data, including a core Consumer Price Index reading of 3.1%, has driven market volatility. Participants are also monitoring potential Federal Reserve rate cuts as early as September, which could influence Bitcoin’s price trajectory. These factors suggest further upside potential amid elevated uncertainty.

Sal Gilbertie, CEO of Teucrium Trading, predicts an XRP ETF approval in 2025, likely before year-end. He notes that XRP may follow Bitcoin’s four-year market cycle, with observable weekend trading patterns. An XRP ETF would simplify institutional access, reducing barriers for traditional investors. Ripple’s pursuit of a banking license and deeper integration in cross-border payments could act as major catalysts. A regulated banking status may curb XRP sell pressure, bolstering confidence. Meanwhile, Ripple’s blockchain aims to streamline global transfers and challenge SWIFT, unlocking liquidity for banks. On the price front, XRP trades at $3.11. Analyst CasiTrades highlights a recent drop to $3.00, followed by a rebound to key retracement levels. The next potential breakout target sits near $4.70. Long-term expectations reach around $10 if an ETF is approved.

Find Mining’s cloud mining platform has seen robust growth as cryptocurrency greed cools. The Alternative.me Fear & Greed Index fell to 56 from 60, reflecting waning investor enthusiasm for BTC, ETH, and XRP. Amid cautious trading, many holders are shifting to Find Mining for daily passive income and reliable mining profitability. Founded in 2018 and registered in the UK, Find Mining operates 135 mining farms across Europe and the US. Its advanced hashrate management and multi-currency mining approach ensure stable returns. Contracts start at $100, offering $8 in two days, while higher-tier plans deliver up to $41,160 in 40 days. Users pay with major tokens (XRP, BTC, ETH, USDC) and earn automated mining profits. By leveraging scale and technology, Find Mining distributes risk across hashrate pools, maintaining efficiency during market volatility. This low-barrier cloud mining service, trusted by over 9.4 million members in 175 countries, provides an alternative to speculative trading, generating consistent cash flow.

Bitcoin volatility surged as the leading cryptocurrency climbed past $124,000 before a sharp pullback. The all-time high reflected heightened market activity driven by retail traders increasing exchange inflows. Recent U.S. Treasury disclosures revealed a strategic Bitcoin reserve valued at $15 billion to $20 billion, underscoring governmental support for long-term adoption. Analysts from ShayanMarkets attribute the rally primarily to retail trader momentum rather than institutional buying. Market reactions to liquidations and upcoming U.S. economic data also amplified unexpected price swings. The growing influence of retail traders on Bitcoin volatility signals a shift in market dynamics. Traders should monitor behavioral patterns in retail order flows and the impact of macroeconomic announcements on Bitcoin volatility for informed decision-making.

Adam Back’s Bitcoin Standard Treasury Co. (BSTR) is merging with Cantor Equity Partners in a $2.1 billion SPAC deal that blends fiat financing and a bitcoin-denominated PIPE. The new Nasdaq‐listed vehicle (ticker BSTO) will start with 30,021 BTC on its balance sheet—25,000 BTC from founders and 5,021 BTC from investors—and aims to grow beyond 50,000 BTC. This aggressive Bitcoin Treasury strategy, featuring active management tools such as put selling, bitcoin-backed credit revolvers, and regulated custody, marks the first-ever U.S. bitcoin-denominated PIPE in a corporate treasury SPAC. By securing up to $1.5 billion in common equity, convertible notes, and preferred stock, BSTR seeks to challenge Marathon Digital (MARA) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) as top corporate bitcoin holders. The deal, expected to close in Q4, bridges institutional capital markets and crypto, reinforcing Bitcoin Treasury vehicles as catalysts for broader institutional adoption.

This week’s altcoin rally saw five tokens surge on specific catalysts. OKB led with a 122% gain ahead of its scheduled token burn. KCS jumped 20% as KuCoin’s $2 billion “Trust Project” drove demand. ADA rose 20% on Bitcoin and Ethereum momentum. HYPE climbed 15% amid whale accumulation pushing daily volume near $30 billion. ARB added 10% with increased institutional adoption. Technical analysis shows OKB trading near $94 with resistance at $143. KCS sits at $5.91, eyeing $8.71. ADA hovers at $0.95, with key resistance at $1.17. HYPE trades at $47, supported at $42, and ARB tests a breakout above recent highs. The altcoin season index stands at 47, indicating mixed market momentum between altcoins and Bitcoin. Bitcoin remains near a record $124 474 high, consolidating around $117 000. Ethereum trades close to $4 400 with resistance at $4 800. Traders should watch support and resistance levels to time entries in this altcoin rally. Key tokens show bullish momentum, but mixed signals in Bitcoin and Ethereum could influence broader market stability.

At the August 15 Alaska summit, US President Donald Trump said he will not impose additional tariffs on China’s Russian oil purchases for now. This statement follows the US announcement of punitive tariffs on India over its imports of Russian crude. The US had also threatened to levy secondary tariffs on Chinese goods if China continued to buy Russian oil. After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump told Fox News he is postponing any decision on tariffs on China’s Russian oil purchases but may reconsider in two to three weeks. This development eases immediate concerns over energy-related trade tensions between the US, China and Russia.

Analysts are forecasting a significant XRP price prediction, with targets of $7 to $10 driven by the potential XRP ETF launch, the conclusion of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, and growing institutional interest. The latest XRP price prediction follows Dark Defender’s view of an ABC correction, with a short-term rise to $3.33, then $5.85 and ultimately $10.47. Crypto King cites strong technicals and institutional accumulation, projecting a cycle peak at $7.00. Despite a 6.5% drop over seven days, overcoming $3.30–$3.35 resistance could spark a major altseason. In parallel, Unilabs (UNIL), an AI-powered DeFi platform, has raised $13 million in its presale and manages over $30 million in AUM. It offers AI-driven portfolios across BTC, real-world assets, and mining, featuring Early Access Scoring and AI Market Pulse tools. Analysts see Unilabs’s low market cap and diversified utility boosting its ROI potential, positioning it as a top pick alongside XRP leading into possible ETF approvals in October.

August may mark one of the best buying windows in years for crypto traders. A new report highlights six high ROI cryptos: presale-stage BlockchainFX (BFX), meme coins Pepe (PEPE) and Floki Inu (FLOKI), and established projects Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX) and BNB. BlockchainFX leads the pack with a $0.019 presale price, a daily passive reward in BFX and USDT, and analyst targets up to $1 post-launch for a potential 52x gain. Over $5.3 million has been raised so far, with a 30% bonus available via code BLOCK30. Pepe and Floki offer community-driven momentum but lack presale leverage. ADA, TRX and BNB deliver stability but lower upside. For traders seeking crypto presale opportunities and high ROI cryptos, BlockchainFX stands out for its super app model, multi-market utility and aggressive growth potential.

BlockchainFX has emerged as one of the best cryptos to buy now, raising over $5.3 million in its presale at $0.019 per token. Positioned as the first Web3 super app, BlockchainFX enables decentralized trading across crypto, stocks, forex, ETFs and commodities. Staking BFX tokens offers daily passive rewards in BFX and USDT, with potential payouts up to $25,000. Early investors using the BLOCK30 code receive a 30% bonus, boosting projected returns by up to 52x at a $1 post-launch price. Among established assets, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Pepe Coin (PEPE) remain stable components in trader portfolios. Dogecoin shows limited upside compared to presale-stage projects, while Pepe Coin continues attracting short-term traders. For those seeking the best cryptos to buy now, BlockchainFX presale combines utility, multi-market access, staking rewards and strong influencer backing to deliver a compelling investment narrative.

President Trump’s decision to extend the suspension of increased US-China tariffs until November 2025 is designed to ease trade tensions. A baseline 10% tariff will remain in place. So far, the announcement has not disrupted the US crypto markets. Bitcoin traders are watching for any shifts. Historically, rising trade tensions have driven investors toward safe-haven assets like Bitcoin. With ongoing US-China trade talks, market analysts suggest potential volatility ahead. Crypto traders should monitor geopolitical developments and tariff negotiations. This tariff suspension may support risk sentiment in crypto markets, but uncertainties persist. Bitcoin’s price could react if talks stall or tariffs change again. Stay alert for both short-term fluctuations and long-term trend shifts.

Large Solana and Dogecoin holders are shifting capital into the MAGACOIN Finance presale as part of a broader cross-asset diversification trend. DeFi Development Corp. added 110,000 SOL at an average price of $201.68—worth about $22 million—bringing its total Solana holdings to roughly $273 million, despite ongoing U.S. SEC delays on Solana ETF approvals. Meanwhile, Dogecoin wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion tokens acquired 2 billion DOGE (approximately $500 million) over the past week, lifting their combined holdings to 27.6 billion DOGE. These strategic moves underscore whale confidence in both networks. Analysts note that participation from SOL and DOGE whales in the ERC-20-based MAGACOIN Finance presale highlights growing interest in new token offerings with transparent tokenomics and security-first structures. For crypto traders, this indicates robust demand from high-net-worth investors and a bullish signal for MAGACOIN Finance’s upcoming launch.

Mantle [MNT] surged 12.31% to a seven-month peak of $1.26 before pulling back to $1.21. Major whale investors re-entered the spot market, generating 937K in buy volume against 455K in sell volume over two days. Negative net spot flows of $5.73 million signaled sustained outflows, suggesting accumulation. Futures data showed a 14.19% jump in volume to $103.6 million and a 26% rise in open interest to $80.6 million. The long/short ratio reached 1.01, indicating slightly more bullish bets. Technical indicators confirmed this bias: MACD climbed to 0.11 and Stochastic RSI hit 89, marking overbought conditions. If buying momentum persists, Mantle could reclaim the $1.20 level and target $1.40. However, any drop in whale demand or renewed sell-offs may push MNT back toward $1.05.

Solana’s rally above $200 stalled after profit-taking and delayed ETF approvals. The Solana token plunged below the $185 support level, sliding 4.5% as whales moved over $213 million in SOL trades. Meanwhile, Remittix (RTX) has drawn $19.6 million in capital for its PayFi platform, which offers fast, low-fee cross-border crypto-to-fiat payments. Institutional and retail demand is high ahead of its planned centralized exchange listing once fundraising hits $20 million. Analysts predict this move will boost liquidity and cement Remittix’s status as 2025’s top mid-cap crypto.

Stellar XLM has fallen 1.19% over the past 24 hours, trading at $0.4266 amid a broader market correction. The token recorded a false breakout below local support at $0.4235, signaling potential further decline toward the $0.42 zone if buyers fail to step in. Low trading volume underscores indecision between bulls and bears, pointing to a likely sideways trend between $0.42 and $0.44. Traders should monitor key support levels and volume for signs of renewed momentum. Overall, Stellar XLM faces downward pressure and muted volatility unless market conditions shift before the week’s end.

Analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO reports that XRP/BTC has flipped the Gaussian Channel from resistance into support for the first time, suggesting a potential long-term accumulation phase. The Gaussian Channel smooths out price noise to reveal key support and resistance levels. A break above this channel on weekly and monthly charts often indicates sustained buying pressure from institutional and long-term traders. Currently, XRP/BTC has stabilized around 2,000 satoshis after rejecting near 3,000 sats, forming a base where former resistance turns into support. Traders should watch for volume expansion and strong weekly closes to confirm this regime shift. If XRP holds above the channel on higher timeframes, it may outperform Bitcoin in the coming weeks and months. While no technical signal guarantees a straight rise, similar channel flips have historically preceded extended rallies in alt markets.

The Solana price (SOL) rose from $180 early last week to a high of $205 on August 14 before tumbling back below $188 resistance to around $185. On-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci highlighted the Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) tool to map key trading levels. According to his analysis, the $150 zone marks SOL’s high-volume support level. The Value Area High (VAH) at $188 now acts as resistance, capping Solana price advances throughout 2025. A lower FRVP level between $170 and $179 serves as a potential support zone if prices retreat. As of this report, the Solana price is trading near $180, down 5% in 24 hours yet still posting a 4% weekly gain. Traders will watch whether SOL can reclaim the VAH level. Sustained movement above $188 could strengthen the bullish momentum. Conversely, a drop below the $170–$179 support band may intensify bearish pressure.
