Yunfeng Finance and Ant Digital have signed a strategic cooperation agreement and made a strategic investment in Pharos, a high-performance Layer1 public chain focused on institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) applications. Under regulatory compliance, both parties will leverage Pharos’s scalable infrastructure to accelerate RWA tokenization and expand into Web3 segments. The partnership aims to integrate blockchain technology with existing financial services, paving the way for new RWA products and digital financial solutions. Pharos will operate independently from both investors, ensuring third-party neutral governance. This strategic move signals growing institutional interest in RWA tokenization and underscores Pharos’s role in bridging traditional finance and Web3.

Cardano vs Ethereum competition heats up as Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson declares his legacy hinges on ADA outperforming ETH in the long term. Acknowledging past hurdles like limited smart contract tools and developer disconnect, Hoskinson highlighted recent launches of Midnight and the Lace Wallet as solutions attracting developers. Data shows Cardano led Ethereum in core developer GitHub commits over the past year. ADA has also outpaced ETH and SOL in recent price rises, trading at $0.8352 (+1.04%) versus ETH’s $4,470.76 (+0.23%). Meanwhile, Ethereum benefits from strong institutional adoption and ETF inflows, with spot ETH ETFs drawing $1.83 billion versus $171 million for BTC. Major institutions SharpLink and BitMine hold 800,000+ ETH each. Although Cardano appears in ETF filings, it lags as a treasury reserve asset. The brewing rivalry raises questions about long-term market share and tech viability in the Layer-1 blockchain space.

Bitcoin price has corrected over 15% from its all-time high of $124,457. September is historically a weak month for Bitcoin. Analysts warn that a failure to close above $113,400 could extend the downtrend toward $100,000 and $90,000. However, RSI indicators and volatility compression suggest early signs of bullish range expansion. Crypto Patel highlights 30-day volatility rising from 3% to 9%, with momentum likely to strengthen if it hits 15–20%, signaling a full expansion phase above 25%. Technician Javon Marks points to a similar RSI setup in August 2024 that preceded a 110% rally to new highs. On the bearish side, Michael van de Poppe expects a test of the $100K–$103K range before Q4. Analysts also forecast a capital rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum as OG holders take profits, setting up an altcoin season. Meanwhile, meme token TOKEN6900 has raised $3.23 million in a presale offering 33% APY. Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels and upcoming volatility signals.

Strategy, a Bitcoin-backed firm, reported record Q2 results, fueling its bid for S&P 500 inclusion. It posted $14 billion in operating profit and $10 billion in net income, equivalent to $32.6 diluted EPS. Revenue reached $114.5 million, up 2.7% year-over-year, with subscription revenue surging nearly 70%. The company holds 632,457 BTC, yielding 25.4% year-to-date. New fair value accounting standards allowed recognition of unrealized gains from its Bitcoin holdings, enhancing its earnings as BTC traded above $100,000. Management raised 2025 guidance to $34 billion operating income, $24 billion net income, and $80 EPS, assuming Bitcoin hits $150,000. Strategy already meets S&P 500 criteria: US listing, $8.2 billion+ market cap, sufficient trading volume, and positive financial results. The S&P Dow Jones committee could announce inclusion on September 5, effective September 19. Inclusion would mark a milestone as the first Bitcoin-backed company in the S&P 500, underlining institutional acceptance of digital assets.

River reports that in 2025, institutions, ETFs and governments are buying over 3,200 Bitcoin daily, dwarfing miners’ 450 BTC output. In Q2, corporate treasuries added 159,107 BTC, lifting total reserves to about 1.3 million. Michael Saylor’s Strategy leads with 632,457 BTC. Exchange reserves hit multi-year lows. Strong institutional demand and hefty ETF inflows may trigger a Bitcoin supply squeeze, underpinning a bullish outlook.

Eliza Labs sued X in Northern California, accusing the platform of AI theft and unfair competition. The complaint alleges X feigned a partnership to harvest ElizaOS technical details, then demanded a $50,000 monthly license fee. After Eliza Labs refused to pay, X suspended its accounts but continued to collect documents. Shortly after, X’s xAI division launched similar AI avatars called “Companions” in the Grok chatbot app. Internal messages cited in the filing point to API rule breaches and confirm X used its platform control to block a rival. This AI theft lawsuit could tarnish xAI’s reputation but has limited direct impact on cryptocurrency markets.

Sonic Token is consolidating firmly above the $0.30 support zone, anchored by overlapping technical factors such as the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, point of control and value area low. This accumulation phase reflects growing confidence after Sonic Labs, a Fantom spin-off, secured strong community backing for its first governance proposal. However, volume remains muted and must increase to validate any bullish breakout. Key resistance levels at $0.35 and $0.40 will serve as critical milestones: a close above $0.35 would confirm renewed momentum, while a sustained move past $0.40 could trigger a broader uptrend. Traders should monitor volume inflows closely, as historical altcoin patterns show that breakouts from tight consolidation often precede sharp rallies.

The crypto market faces heightened volatility as a major whale offloads 34,110 BTC (~$3.7 billion) to buy 813,298 ETH (~$3.66 billion), retaining 49,816 BTC (~$6 billion) amid concerns over further dumps. An additional 932,246 ETH (~$400 million) queued for unstaking could pressure prices. Macro factors add to the uncertainty: CME FedWatch shows an 87.4% chance of a 25 bp rate cut in September, while a “super week” of ADP, ISM and nonfarm payroll data ahead of the FOMC meeting promises sharp moves. Fed Chair Powell’s cautious dovish tone and a potential board reshuffle under Trump fuel more debate on the pace and size of easing. On the token front, the Trump‐backed WLFI launches tonight after raising $2.26 billion, with up to 20% of 1.36 trillion tokens unlocked. Discrepancies in tokenomics reports—272 billion tokens circulating versus an 8% unlock claim—suggest big swings. Other voices point to gold and Bitcoin as hedges amid global debt strains. Traders remain cautious: some have closed ETH positions, Matrixport expects an extended pullback, and CryptoQuant sees a possible Bitcoin support at $100,000 if $112,000 fails to hold. Overall, the crypto market is in a state of flux, where waiting and vigilance are key.

Litecoin’s official X account ignited a fierce backlash by mocking XRP as a “rotten eggs” illusion. The post ridiculed the idea that XRP’s value could surge as a banking rail for institutions, sparking a wave of criticism from the XRP community. Supporters pointed to Litecoin’s founder selling off LTC in 2017 and its 73% decline from the 2021 peak. Some threatened legal action against Litecoin for defamation, while others highlighted Litecoin’s past community criticisms. Litecoin doubled down, noting it had roasted other projects with minimal pushback. On the trading front, both LTC and XRP dipped over 1% in 24 hours but have climbed about 23%–25% in the last three months. Year-to-date, XRP leads with 19.3% gains versus Litecoin’s 4.3%.

Bitcoin price outlook remains bullish after a 2.12% seven-day decline and a brief dip below $110,000. Key on-chain signals support continued upside: exchange balances have fallen to multi-month lows, reducing immediate selling pressure. The market MVRV ratio sits under 3.6, well below levels seen at past cycle tops. Long-term holders are accumulating, while miner sales remain subdued. Trading volume jumped 36.7% to $60.4 billion, underscoring healthy liquidity. Analysts note that any pullback toward $103,000 could serve as an accumulation opportunity rather than a trend reversal. If demand holds and on-chain metrics stay constructive, the bull run is likely to continue. Watch $110,000 for resistance and $103,000 for support.

On September 1, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) opened its WLFI token claim window at 8:00 am ET, triggering a sudden rush of on-chain transactions and driving Ethereum gas fees into triple digits. Etherscan’s Gas Tracker ranked WLFI claims as the top gas-consuming event, with median fees spiking above 100 gwei. Early demand flowed through Uniswap, where the WLFI pool saw over $20 million in trading volume within the first hour. Meanwhile, OKX listed WLFI/USDT at 9:00 am ET, further boosting secondary trading. Prior to the unlock, WLFI perpetual futures volumes had already exceeded $3 billion. Despite WLFI’s advance “Lockbox” announcement, the concentrated claim activity overwhelmed blockspace, sending gas fees from sub-1 gwei medians to over $100 per transaction and creating a deep pending queue. This event underscores how large, coordinated token claims can still strain Ethereum. Projects should consider staggered claims, off-chain batching, and clear user guidance to manage gas expectations.

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has unveiled bold altcoin predictions in his recent “Buffalo Bill” blog. He forecasts ENA to surge 51-fold, ETHFI 34-fold, and HYPE up to 126-fold within three years. Hayes links these projections to global liquidity cycles, noting that ample USD supply historically fuels crypto bull runs. He highlights ENA and ETHFI as blockchain infrastructure and liquid staking plays poised to attract new capital. HYPE, representing speculative culture tokens, could see market value far exceeding fundamentals. Despite admitting only a 25% hit rate on past forecasts, Hayes’s views sway investor sentiment. Current prices stand at roughly $0.64 for ENA, $1.09 for ETHFI, and over $50 for HYPE, with HYPE leading recent rallies. Separately, the meme coin Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is gaining traction for its fair distribution, scarce supply, and strong community focus. Traders should monitor these tokens’ liquidity-driven momentum and community engagement as potential high-risk, high-reward opportunities.

Coinbase WLFI listing has been officially announced, marking a milestone for WLFI token and the digital asset market. As one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, Coinbase WLFI listing often signals credibility, increased liquidity, and wider investor access. WLFI holders can expect enhanced trading volume and price discovery, while new investors benefit from user-friendly trading pairs like WLFI/USD. The initial post-listing period may see price volatility, requiring traders to prepare by verifying accounts, funding wallets, and defining entry and exit strategies. Key opportunities include potential price appreciation and broader ecosystem development, but risks like “sell the news” events and market competition persist. To capitalize on this news, market participants should conduct thorough due diligence, monitor market sentiment, and manage risk effectively. Overall, the Coinbase WLFI listing underscores growing mainstream adoption of altcoins, offering strategic trading avenues amid dynamic market conditions.

Crypto analyst CryptoBull’s latest XRP price prediction centers on a rounding bottom pattern on XRP’s monthly chart. The pattern formed after a 500% rally ended in January 2025 and a subsequent decline below $3 support. As price consolidated and held above the $2.8 neckline, CryptoBull forecasts a breakout toward $7–$8, implying gains of 149%–184% from current levels around $2.77. This technical analysis uses the measured move concept and notes that XRP trading above its rising 200-day moving average supports a bullish outlook. Traders should watch for sustained price action above the neckline to confirm the XRP price prediction.

On-chain analytics firm Santiment warns that the Bitcoin price bottom may not yet be in, as “buy the dip” chatter spikes on social media. Historically, true bottoms arrive when social sentiment shifts from optimism to widespread fear. Currently, investors are still hunting entry points following the recent cooldown to ~$108,000. Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan notes BTC’s detachment from the S&P 500 and predicts crypto assets could lag the stock market until “buy the dip” optimism fades. The report highlights two key metrics for identifying a durable bottom: social dominance of bearish narratives and whale transfer activity. Wallets holding 10–10,000 BTC have not sold heavily through the dip, signaling underlying strength. However, any significant decrease in whale holdings could trigger “postponed price suppression.” Traders should monitor these indicators closely for signs of a genuine Bitcoin price bottom.

Tron recorded 2.5 million active addresses in 24 hours after slashing network fees by 60%, according to DeFiLlama. The fee reduction, approved via community vote and announced by founder Justin Sun, aims to boost adoption and secure Tron’s leading position in stablecoin transactions, particularly with USDT. Tron now outpaces major networks: BNB Smart Chain logged 2.4 million active addresses and Solana 2.2 million in the same period. While the cut may reduce short-term revenue, Sun expects lower fees to drive transaction growth and long-term network profitability. Tron is also developing a zero-fee framework for stablecoins to further enhance DeFi adoption.

Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile has surged to about $350 billion by mid-2025, the largest among US firms. Buffett has historically increased liquidity at market peaks, such as in 1998, 2000 and 2007, ahead of crashes. Today, the Nasdaq market cap stands at 176% of US M2 money supply and 129% of GDP, far above past highs. Bitcoin and the Nasdaq share a 0.73 correlation, risking a crypto downturn if stocks fall. Meanwhile, US M2 is rebounding—up 4.8% year-over-year in July—with potential Fed easing pushing growth toward 10-12%. A wider money supply could buoy Bitcoin. Traders should weigh the short-term bearish risk driven by this cash pile and market imbalance against the longer-term bullish outlook from renewed liquidity that may support Bitcoin.

One hundred twelve digital asset builders, investors and advocates, led by the DeFi Education Fund, have urged Congress to enact federal protections for blockchain developers and non-custodial service providers in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). The coalition calls for treating blockchain as neutral infrastructure, preserving open-source software safeguards, and shielding developers from regulation for creating or maintaining networks. They demand immunity from money-transmitter classification and preemption of conflicting state laws. The CLARITY Act, passed by the House 294-134, would assign digital-asset oversight mainly to the CFTC, while the SEC retains fraud enforcement over certain stablecoins. It exempts defined assets from the Howey test, establishes Qualified Digital Asset Custodians, and clarifies regulatory jurisdiction. Advocates want the Senate to enhance protections for blockchain developers before finalizing the bill. A parallel Senate draft, the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, also aims to define ancillary assets, streamline SEC registration and adapt regulations to token technology.

Kraken has opened trading for WLFI, the governance token of World Liberty Financial. Trading went live on September 1, 2025. WLFI is a DeFi token backed by Donald Trump and family, designed to strengthen the U.S. dollar’s role in decentralized finance. Users can deposit WLFI on supported networks via Kraken’s Funding tab. Deposits on unsupported chains will be lost. WLFI trading is available on Kraken’s main platform; app trading and Instant Buy will follow once liquidity thresholds are met. Geographic restrictions may apply. Kraken will announce future asset listings only shortly before launch and cannot disclose potential listings in advance.

Bitcoin traders eye three key catalysts for a September rally. First, the Federal Reserve’s likely interest rate cut—an 83% chance per Polymarket—could lower borrowing costs and boost risk assets. Second, Bitcoin exchange reserves have dropped to a seven-year low, reducing potential selling pressure as more holders opt for self-custody. Third, the Fear and Greed Index has slipped into “Fear” at 46, signaling a possible buying opportunity amid market anxiety. Despite these bullish triggers, September historically underperforms: BTC has closed positive only four times in 12 years and typically falls after a halving year. Traders should balance these short-term catalysts against seasonal weakness when planning positions.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, told Bloomberg that Bitcoin’s bear market has ended. He forecasts BTC may surge to $1 million, fueled by shrinking supply and rising institutional demand. Only 450 BTC per day are available from natural sellers, while major firms like BlackRock are buying significant shares of this limited supply. Saylor also cited political backing from figures such as Donald Trump and senior US officials. He warned that in a renewed downturn, BTC could fall to $250,000. Despite recent volatility around the $108,000 level, MicroStrategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin, indicating confidence in its long-term value as a global reserve asset. These factors suggest a bullish scenario for Bitcoin’s price.

Eric Trump has officially launched the WorldLibertyFi (WLFI) token, marking a high-profile entry into the cryptocurrency market. The WLFI token is designed around trust, transaction speed and core American values to set a new standard for financial freedom. As a fresh token launch, WLFI aims to attract traders with its promise of rapid settlement and transparent governance. Initial listings are expected on major exchanges, driving early liquidity and market interest. Traders should watch WLFI’s vesting schedule and platform integrations to assess potential price volatility and long-term adoption.

The U.S. Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) has initiated an AI-driven program to review and reduce overlapping SEC regulations. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, the department aims to identify redundant rules, streamline compliance procedures and improve overall regulatory efficiency. Key objectives include cutting duplicative requirements, accelerating rulemaking processes, and minimizing costs for regulated entities. While the initiative focuses on data-driven governance, crypto firms and traders stand to benefit from lighter reporting burdens and faster approval timelines. By reducing SEC regulations, this effort could lower operational barriers for exchanges, DeFi projects and token issuers. Market participants should monitor developments closely, as potential rule rollbacks may drive increased trading activity and liquidity in digital assets. The use of AI to optimize regulatory frameworks marks a novel approach to governance and could set a precedent for future tech-enabled policy reforms.

Coinbase has announced support for the World Liberty Financial token (WLFI) on the Ethereum network via ERC-20. The WLFI listing will introduce the WLFI-USD trading pair in a phased rollout tied to specific liquidity milestones. Initial trading will open in regions where compliance requirements are met, while certain jurisdictions will experience restricted access. Coinbase cautions users to transfer WLFI exclusively over the Ethereum network to avoid potential token loss. This WLFI listing underscores growing institutional adoption of meme-style tokens and offers traders a new asset with controlled liquidity thresholds before full market launch.

Long-term holders sold approximately 97,000 BTC in a single day when Bitcoin dipped below the $110,000 support level. Glassnode reports this is the largest daily move by long-term holders (LTHs) this year, driven mainly by coins aged one to five years. Despite the sell-off, on-chain metrics indicate the market structure remains intact and within normal cycle ranges. Institutional players are stepping in to absorb supply: Sweden’s Goobit Group added 1.02 BTC, and Satsuma Technology increased its holdings by 22.65 BTC, now totaling 1,148.65 BTC. Bitcoin trades near $109,700, down 2% over the past week, while Delta Cap and the Coinbase Premium Gap suggest solid valuation floors and rising U.S. institutional demand. Historical patterns show that such structured corrections often mark accumulation phases. Traders should watch on-chain metrics and institutional inflows for signals of a potential bullish recovery.

Ethereum whale movements and bullish chart setups point to a potential 53% rally for ETH. A long-term Bitcoin whale shifted $435 million by selling 4,000 BTC to buy 96,859 ETH in 12 hours, raising Ethereum holdings to $3.8 billion. This capital rotation highlights growing institutional adoption of ETH as a treasury asset driven by deflationary supply, staking yields, and decentralized finance use cases. On-chain metrics show record transaction volumes on Ethereum mainnet and Optimism layer-2, with a surge in smart contract deployments. Technically, ETH/USD formed a bullish triangle since mid-August between $4,461 and $4,700. A break above resistance could propel a 53% upside to $6,756. MACD crossover and neutral RSI support this outlook, pending confirmation of the breakout.
