Ethereum ETF outflows accelerated through August, with spot ETFs shedding over $1 billion in net redemptions, led by significant withdrawals from BlackRock’s ETHA fund. Total assets under management fell to $28.58 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF redemptions also resumed, posting $127 million in outflows after four days of inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT fund leading withdrawals as BTC traded above $108,000. These ETF flows reflect institutional profit-taking and portfolio rebalancing ahead of key macroeconomic events. The sustained Ethereum ETF outflows could intensify short-term selling pressure and fuel market volatility, although past flow cycles suggest investors may re-enter. Traders should monitor daily ETF flows, cryptocurrency price levels, and macro indicators to navigate potential price movements.

After five years of regulatory overhang, XRP secured legal clarity in August 2025 when the SEC v. Ripple case closed with a split ruling: programmatic XRP sales remain non-securities, institutional offerings face restrictions plus a $125 million penalty. This outcome lifted uncertainty over secondary-market XRP trading, spurring a rebound above $3.25 and enabling exchanges, custody providers, and market makers to expand services. On the technology front, Ripple launched the XRPL EVM sidechain in June 2025, allowing Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and asset bridges to leverage XRP’s low-cost, high-speed settlement. The protocol-level XLS-30 AMM further enhances native liquidity for token swaps and cross-currency payments, aligning with Ripple’s on-demand liquidity goals. Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, fully backed and redeemable 1:1 on XRPL and Ethereum, integrated with Aave’s Horizon RWA to tap into institutional DeFi rails. RLUSD’s market cap surpassed $500 million by mid-2025, bolstering XRPL network activity and deepening FX pools without reliance on off-chain stablecoins. With U.S. exchanges seeking generic crypto ETP listing standards, an XRP-based ETF may clear regulatory hurdles sooner. Traders should watch XRP support at $2.80, resistance near $3.00, corridor volumes, EVM sidechain TVL, stablecoin adoption, and ETF policy milestones to gauge short- and long-term momentum.

Crypto traders increasingly prefer tennis betting with TRX and DASH due to speed, low fees, and privacy.

For traders, leveraging TRX and DASH in tennis betting can enhance portfolio diversification and capitalize on real-time market movements. The article guides on choosing the right sportsbook based on privacy preferences, bonus structures, and UX, empowering crypto bettors for 2025’s tennis season.

Institutional inflows are locking up Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), drying liquidity for small-cap tokens and shortening altcoin season. SharpLink Gaming has staked 143,593 ETH, MicroStrategy holds 632,457 BTC and Harvard’s $116 m via BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust further withdraw billions from circulation. As a result, broad altcoin rallies are unlikely, with gains confined to major platforms like SOL and BNB. For traders seeking 5–10× or higher returns, ICO presales offer the best path. Projects such as XYZVerse raised over $15 m at a $0.0001 floor; dynamic pricing and potential listing targets of $0.10–$0.25 could deliver 1,000–2,500× multiples. Over 6–12 months, anticipate 2,000–4,000× upside. Evaluate vetted ICO presales amid a lacklustre altseason.

SHIB price fell roughly 5% to $0.00001204 after an 11% weekly slide, despite a sharp 157,726.72% surge in daily burn rate. On-chain data shows 2,411,616 SHIB tokens were sent to dead wallets in a single day. However, weekly burn volume remains modest at 14,068,717 SHIB, down 76.32% from earlier periods. Lucie, a Shiba Inu marketing executive, attributed the burn spike to community-led initiatives and urged continued adoption of Shibarium, SHIB’s layer-2 scaling solution. She forecast a bullish autumn, citing potential macro rate cuts and ongoing ecosystem development as key catalysts. Traders should watch absolute burn volumes, Shibarium transaction growth, and broader market trends. While one-day burn bursts can spark short-term rallies, sustainable demand will depend on consistent on-chain activity and real-world use cases. SHIB’s supply reduction efforts offer support, but price stability hinges on wider crypto market sentiment and macroeconomic factors.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices have fallen recently as traders shift attention to a new meme coin, XYZVerse. Dogecoin (DOGE) trades between $0.21 and $0.25, facing resistance at $0.27 and support near $0.19. Shiba Inu (SHIB) moves in a tight range of $0.00001214–$0.00001364, eyeing a breakout above $0.00001433 or a slide toward $0.00001133. XYZVerse (XYZ) is in presale at $0.005. The project combines sports branding, influencer partnerships, a 17.13% token burn, and dedicated liquidity to drive demand. If XYZVerse secures listings on major exchanges and sustains community hype, it could jump to $0.10 on launch—a 30× gain—or even reach $0.15–$0.25 in early trading. Long-term, strategic partnerships and broader market bullishness could lift XYZVerse toward $0.20–$0.40. For traders, monitoring key levels in DOGE and SHIB is crucial as speculative capital rotates into XYZVerse. Watching exchange listings, volume spikes, and social media sentiment will help anticipate short-term dips in legacy memecoins and potential surges in XYZVerse.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing unprecedented growth and are on track to surpass gold ETFs in assets under management (AUM) for the first time. Over the past year, AUM in the largest Bitcoin ETFs doubled to $150 billion, while gold ETFs rose 40% to $180 billion. Three years ago, gold ETFs were five times larger than their Bitcoin counterparts. If current inflow trends continue, Bitcoin ETFs could eclipse gold ETFs as early as next year. ETFs have become a major driver of the crypto bull market. Almost 20% of all crypto liquidity now flows through ETF products. BlackRock’s IBIT stands out as the primary engine, attracting significant institutional capital despite a low 0.25% fee. On peak days, US spot Bitcoin ETFs generate $5–10 billion in trading volume. Institutional demand is rising. Analysts from The Kobeissi Letter and PushpendraTech note that regulated ETF exposure is the preferred gateway for large investors. However, Binance still leads in spot trading, handling $10–18 billion daily and controlling a 29% market share compared to the 13% share of US-based ETFs. This historic flip underscores crypto’s evolution from speculation to mainstream portfolio allocation.

Bitcoin remains the primary institutional crypto asset even as investors rotated into Ether ETFs in late August. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs set record net inflows of $2.2B in two days and $3.4B in July. However, August saw net outflows from BTC ETFs and ~$4B inflows into Ether ETFs. A recent SEC approval of in-kind creations and redemptions reduced costs and improved fund efficiency. On-chain signals from Glassnode show Bitcoin trading near support bands of $107k–$113k with neutral spot demand and slightly bearish perpetuals. Miner profitability reached post-halving highs in July, supporting reduced supply issuance. Policy clarity around spot ETFs and operational enhancements has deepened liquidity, compressed spreads, and solidified Bitcoin’s role as a macro hedge. Traders should watch Bitcoin ETF flows, on-chain thresholds, and miner sell pressure to gauge near-term momentum.

Litecoin price has fallen from a recent high of $133 and dropped below key support levels. After failing to hold the 50-day simple moving average, Litecoin price slid below $111 on August 30, reaching a low of $110. The next support lies at $107, with further declines potentially targeting the 2.0 Fibonacci extension around $92.48. Technical indicators show LTC trading below both the 21-day and 50-day SMAs, reinforcing bearish momentum. Immediate resistance stands at $116 and $120, while support is at $107 and $100. Traders should monitor volume and candlestick patterns near $107: a decisive break would confirm further downside risk, whereas a rebound above the moving averages could signal a corrective rally.

NFT sales fell 8.5% last week to $129.6 million amid broader crypto market weakness. Total transaction counts rose 12% to 1.81 million. Buyer participation climbed 18% to 541,831, while sellers reached 385,179. Ethereum led in NFT sales with $54.5 million, down 8.2%, as wash trading jumped 42.7% to $20.1 million. Polygon NFTs jumped 16.1% to $18.9 million. BNB Chain and Bitcoin-based NFTs saw declines of 34.8% and 30.3%, respectively. Solana and Immutable also recorded lower volumes. Top collections included Courtyard on Polygon ($17.6M), CryptoPunks ($7.1M), and Pudgy Penguins, which soared 63.4% to $5.2M. High-value CryptoPunks trades reached up to 96 ETH. The NFT sales slump aligns with Bitcoin’s drop to $108K and Ethereum’s slide to $4.3K, pulling the global crypto market cap down to $3.75 trillion.

XRP price is holding near $2.81 following the SEC’s August 8, 2025 settlement with Ripple, which imposed a $125 million penalty and confirmed that secondary-market XRP trading is not a security. This regulatory clarity removed a major overhang, encouraging institutions, OTC desks and market-makers. On the ETF front, the SEC is reviewing generic listing standards for crypto exchange-traded products—potentially enabling spot ETFs for XRP as early as late September 2025. Simplified approval rules could deepen liquidity and accelerate product launches. Adoption developments also bolster confidence: Korean custodian BDACS has launched institutional XRP custody, enhancing rails for cross-border payments. Technically, XRP is consolidating between $2.80 and $3.00, with support at $2.80–$2.82 and resistance at $3.00 and $3.10–$3.15. Key near-term drivers include SEC rulemaking updates, U.S. macro risk sentiment and exchange flow dynamics. Risks include ETF delays, cross-venue liquidity fragmentation and divergent global regulations. Traders should monitor regulatory headlines, funding rates, open interest and price action around critical levels.

Bitcoin is trading around $108.5K with technical indicators signaling an oversold condition. The RSI sits at approximately 33.8, suggesting fading selling pressure and a potential short-term relief bounce to $114K–$116K, provided the $107K–$108K support zone holds. On-chain realized price bands mark immediate resistance at $112.2K and strong support near $98.7K. A break below $107K could trigger deeper corrections toward $104K–$105K and ultimately the $98K–$100K band. The MACD histogram remains negative but contracting, reinforcing the rebound thesis. Analyst Javon Marks expects a full reversal to $123K if Bitcoin reclaims $112.2K and breaks above $120K, though sustained momentum will be crucial. Traders should watch order-book liquidity around support and resistance levels, monitor rising RSI and contracting sell-side volume for confirmation, and maintain strict risk management. Key levels to track: support at $107K–$108K, resistance at $112.2K and $114K–$116K, and downside floor at $98K–$100K.

Bitcoin September correction could see BTC test the $100K mark after a $15B options expiry triggered a drop toward $110K. Ethereum also dipped below $4,360 as whales reportedly manipulated leverage during the monthly close. Historically, Bitcoin September correction driven by large options expiries forces liquidations before stabilizing, often paving the way for Q4 rallies after brief shakeouts. Meanwhile, global M2 liquidity hitting a new high suggests underlying bullish momentum remains intact. Traders should watch key levels: a break below $109K may drive BTC toward $103K–$107K, while reclaiming $116K could signal renewed upside. For ETH, support near $4,100 and resistance at $4,450–$4,600 will be crucial. Overall, this Bitcoin September correction appears to be a standard shakeout rather than a trend reversal, offering potential entry points ahead of a likely Q4 rally.

Bitcoin price fell below $110,000 to around $108,000 on August 29, marking a 13% retreat from the recent $124,000 high. Analysts warn that the immediate $108K support level is critical; a decisive break could trigger a mid-term pullback to $93K–$95K, with an extreme scenario potentially testing $70K. On-chain data highlight the short-term holder cost basis at roughly $108,900, suggesting prolonged selling pressure if breached. Technical indicators, including RSI divergence and cycle correlation with 2021 highs, reinforce the risk of deeper correction. Conversely, macro catalysts such as expected Federal Reserve rate cuts and easing Treasury issuance may underpin a bullish recovery later in the year. Market observers recommend closely monitoring Bitcoin price action, on-chain metrics, and policy developments to gauge the next directional move.

This weekly deals roundup highlights key corporate transactions across multiple sectors. Top of the list is Hawkins’ sale to a private equity investor, followed by Canada Goose’s strategic acquisition to expand its apparel portfolio. In healthcare, AbbVie forged a new partnership to bolster its immunology pipeline, while cybersecurity firm Verint agreed to a significant buyout. The deals span industrial services, retail, biopharma, and technology, underscoring active M&A and sector investment trends.

Solana delivered a staggering 51,900% ROI in the last cycle, peaking at $260. Analysts now predict four altcoins could replicate up to 4500% gains: Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Sei (SEI), Ethena (ENA) and Jupiter (JUP). LILPEPE leads the pack as a presale meme coin priced at $0.0021 in stage 12, having raised $22.8 million and featuring anti-sniper-bot mechanics. SEI trades at $0.3227, up 4.1% in 24 hours and 45% over two days, indicating strong bullish momentum. ENA sits at $0.6432, up 28% in a month, and has broken out of a falling wedge, targeting $0.74–$0.76 with potential to $0.85. JUP, at $0.5278, is 4.7% higher in 24 hours and 19.3% over a week, also posting a wedge breakout with resistance at $0.5820–$0.8481 and $82.6 million trading volume. Each project shows solid technical setups and community support, positioning them as high-return opportunities for traders seeking the next Solana-style rally.

At the end of August 2025, XRP plunged below $3 amid rising volatility triggered by slowing on-chain activity and leveraged long liquidations. Many XRP holders responded by shifting capital to OurCryptoMiner’s fixed-income contracts, which offer predictable daily returns. Contracts span from a 2-day, $100 plan yielding $4 per day to a 53-day, $97,000 option yielding $2,376.50 daily. OurCryptoMiner fixed-income contracts are backed by hardware such as Bitmain Antminers and Canaan Avalons. Profits are settled daily, and operations run entirely on solar, wind and hydroelectric power, meeting institutional demand for green crypto mining. User deposits are held in SSL-encrypted custody, futures contracts are insured by AIG, and new users receive a $12 trial credit. A transparent dashboard displays real-time hash rates, energy mix and revenue. With increasing policy support and institutional interest in eco-friendly blockchain infrastructure, fixed-income cloud mining has become a popular hedge against price swings. For XRP holders seeking stability amid XRP volatility, OurCryptoMiner offers a hybrid model combining passive income with environmental responsibility.

Asset manager Amplify, overseeing $12.6 billion in AUM, has filed with the SEC to launch an XRP Option Income ETF on the Cboe BZX Exchange, aiming for a November trading debut. Instead of holding XRP tokens directly, the fund will invest at least 80% of its portfolio in XRP-linked ETFs and write options on those ETF shares to generate yield. The remaining 20% will be allocated to US Treasuries, cash, or similar short-term instruments. Through option strategies—such as pairing long calls with short puts or purchasing in-the-money calls—Amplify’s XRP Option ETF seeks synthetic exposure to XRP price movements while delivering steady premium income. This structure offers investors indirect exposure to XRP, avoiding custody and operational challenges of direct token holdings. The filing marks the 16th proposal for an XRP ETF in the US, joining seven pending spot applications and contributing to a total of 96 crypto-related ETF filings under SEC review. With a key regulatory deadline in October, market watchers draw parallels to the surge in Bitcoin futures-linked ETF inflows, suggesting potential bullish demand for XRP products once approved.

The cryptocurrency market faced strong bearish pressure starting August 28, with major assets hitting new lows by August 29. Bitcoin dropped to $107,850, and the total crypto market cap fell over 4% in 24 hours, shedding $142 billion to around $3.7 trillion. According to Alphractal founder Joao Wedson, a recent surge in Google search trends for crypto-related terms often coincides with market peaks. Historically, search-volume spikes signal whale selling when retail traders are most enthusiastic. Despite this local top signal, Wedson notes that euphoria-driven downturns do not necessarily end the bull cycle. He advises traders to consider exiting at highs and reentering after price corrections. Monitoring on-chain data and social metrics, such as Google Trends, can help traders anticipate short-term reversals and manage risk.

Crypto VC funding reached $234.9 million this week, led by Rain’s $58 million Series B round for its stablecoin interoperability platform and OrangeX’s $20 million Series B for its global trading platform. Other major funding rounds include M^0’s $40 million Series B for a decentralized middleware protocol and aPriori’s $20 million strategic investment in DeFi, liquidity and staking. Smaller projects such as Hemi Labs, The Clearing Company and Magne AI raised between $0.34 million and $15 million, underscoring ongoing investor confidence. The surge in crypto VC funding highlights robust market interest and supports growth across blockchain infrastructure and DeFi sectors.

MAGACOIN FINANCE has emerged as the leading altcoin presale for Q4 2025 after a sharp increase in whale-backed inflows and a surge in Google searches. The project has passed dual security audits by CertiK and HashEx, confirming its transparency and safety. Early investors can unlock a 50% bonus with code PATRIOT50X. Meanwhile, Bitcoin trades near $110,000–$111,000 after a 2% pullback due to profit-taking, while robust ETF inflows support a potential rally toward $150,000. Ethereum remains above $4,400, backed by a 63% rise in transactions and a 26% increase in active addresses, with over 200,000 ETH withdrawn from exchanges and $4 billion in staking queues. Solana holds around $188 and has generated $1.3 billion in revenue this year, boosted by Sharps Technology’s $400 million treasury program. As core assets consolidate, Q4 2025 offers high-growth opportunities in presale projects. MAGACOIN FINANCE stands out due to verified audits, whale demand, and growing search interest, marking it as a top speculative play for traders seeking outsized returns.

Alternative cryptocurrencies offer traders fresh growth opportunities beyond established chains like Solana. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has drawn 231,000 participants in its presale and secured a CertiK audit. It features zero transaction tax and a $777,000 giveaway that underpins community growth. Cardano (ADA) shows a bullish accumulation pattern. Whales have increased ADA holdings. On-chain data and a recent 3% daily gain hint at a breakout above $1. With a market cap exceeding $30 billion, ADA remains a leading alternative cryptocurrency. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is evolving beyond meme status. Partnerships with the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and rising trading volumes support a positive outlook. Analysts forecast near-term price increases. Traders seeking high returns should weigh the low entry cost of LILPEPE against the established platforms of ADA and SHIB. As with all alternative cryptocurrencies, volatility risks remain. Investors should conduct due diligence before entering positions.

The Bitcoin Treasury firm Strategy has prevailed after lead plaintiffs voluntarily dropped a class action lawsuit in Virginia federal court. Filed in May, the suit alleged that Strategy and executives Michael Saylor, CEO Phong Le, and CFO Andrew Kang overstated the profitability of its BTC holdings, downplayed volatility risks, and failed to disclose the full impact of adopting FASB ASU 2023-08 accounting standards. The withdrawal is with prejudice, preventing refiling in any court. Strategy reported approximately $5.9 billion in unrealized losses on Bitcoin Treasury holdings during Q1 2025 amid an 11% BTC slump—the weakest first-quarter performance since 2015. The company now holds 632,457 BTC (around $68.7 billion). This outcome removes legal uncertainty for Strategy and reinforces confidence in corporate crypto treasury practices.

Grayscale Investments filed S-1 registration statements with the SEC for spot ETFs tracking Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT). The Grayscale Cardano Trust will list on NYSE Arca as GADA, custody by Coinbase Custody, and track ADA via the CoinDesk Cardano Index (ADX). The Grayscale Polkadot Trust will trade on Nasdaq under DOT, referencing the CoinDesk Polkadot CCIX Rate. Both spot ETFs offer passive altcoin ETF exposure without leverage or derivatives. These filings follow earlier 19b-4 exchange submissions to streamline SEC review and investor disclosures. Approval timelines remain uncertain amid uneven regulatory prioritization. Market participants will watch SEC comment periods. A successful ADA ETF and DOT ETF launch could drive trading volume and price support for ADA and DOT, mirroring the bullish response to BTC and ETH spot ETF approvals.

Fold CEO and co-founder Will Reeves warns that permissionless DeFi protocols will outlast government and TradFi efforts to embed mandatory KYC measures—such as biometric ID checks—into smart contracts. He says proposals in the White House digital finance report may slow adoption but cannot replace open DeFi networks. Legacy institutions could steer users toward permissioned custody solutions, including crypto ETFs, yet permissionless DeFi retains censorship resistance, global access and composability. Reeves stresses that shielding open-source developers from legal liability is crucial to preserve decentralization and financial sovereignty. As regulatory pressure mounts, DeFi networks are poised to evolve through community-driven development and market-led adoption, reinforcing DeFi’s resilience and long-term growth potential.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has broken below its ascending daily channel for the first time since March, signaling potential short-term structural weakness. The price sits near $543 with a 24-hour gain of 1.52% and volume around $188 million. Traders are watching the $554 EMA/SMA cluster: a clear daily close above this zone would invalidate the breakdown and could resume momentum toward $600. Failure to reclaim $554 raises the risk of a deeper retracement to $480 and $450 support levels. Confirmation candlesticks and volume spikes at these zones will guide next moves. Market sentiment remains conditional—bulls need a reclaim to regain control, while continued trading below the channel would confirm bearish dominance. Disciplined risk management and confirmation signals are essential for both short- and long-term traders.

Kusama (KSM) is a live "canary network" for the Polkadot ecosystem, offering a real-value testnet designed to foster rapid blockchain innovation and experimentation. Built by the Polkadot team, Kusama allows developers to trial new parachains, governance models and features in a risk-tolerant environment. As a proof-of-stake network, KSM holders can stake tokens to secure the network, participate in governance referenda, and earn rewards. This decentralized governance system empowers the community with decision-making on network upgrades. By functioning as a wilder counterpart to Polkadot, Kusama accelerates the deployment of cutting-edge solutions while safeguarding Polkadot’s stability. For crypto traders, KSM’s utility in staking, governance and transaction fee payments, coupled with its experimental ethos, underpins potential long-term value as blockchain innovation advances.

While Solana (SOL) remains in the spotlight for its speed, traders seeking higher returns may look to alternative altcoins. This article highlights three tokens—Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Cardano (ADA), and Shiba Inu (SHIB)—that could deliver outsized gains compared to Solana. Little Pepe has raised over $22.6 million in presale, attracted nearly 36,000 holders, and boasts a CertiK audit, zero transaction tax and staking rewards, reflecting solid altcoin fundamentals. A climb to $0.25 could turn a $420 stake into more than $40,000. Cardano shows whale accumulation of 100 million ADA in a single day and trades near $0.87. Historical patterns suggest a breakout past $1.00 could spark rapid upside, with potential multi-fold gains in a new bull cycle. Shiba Inu’s partnership with the UAE’s Ministry of Energy to deploy ShibOS underscores its evolution from meme coin to utility token. At $0.000012, a 125% rally could push SHIB to $0.000020, rewarding early altcoin investors. For traders, these altcoins offer varied risk-reward profiles: LILPEPE for high-risk presale upside; ADA for on-chain validation and large-cap momentum; SHIB for established meme coin evolution. Assess market timing and risk tolerance when shifting focus from SOL to these altcoins.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson both attended a Federal Reserve roundtable. The discussion focused on stablecoins and the potential creation of a Fed master account for digital asset firms. Hoskinson explained that the “Genius Act” set initial standards but further rulemaking is needed on master account access, custodial rules, insurance frameworks, audit oversight, and privacy for assets like Bitcoin. Digital Asset Investor highlighted Garlinghouse’s presence and presented the Fed master account as imminent. If approved, a Fed master account could reshape liquidity, settlement, and custody for stablecoins and tokenized assets, marking a bullish step for Ripple and the broader crypto market.
