Latest Crypto News | Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoin Updates

Ethereum price is consolidating below key resistance near $4,800 in what analyst Crypto Nova calls a “loading phase” at prior highs. Demand for ETH remains strong, suggesting any pullbacks will be quickly absorbed as bulls prepare for a decisive breakout above $5,000. Crypto Nova highlights medium-term targets at $6,000 and $8,000 once Ethereum clears the $5K barrier, driven by strong liquidity pools. On shorter timeframes, analyst Hardy points to potential support levels at $4,225 and $4,075 for tactical entries, flagging near-term dips before another push. Overall, Ethereum price action continues to lean bullish, with a healthy uptrend structure and repeated rejection of breakdowns reinforcing confidence ahead of a prospective $5,000 rally.

A recent Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) report reveals Ukraine has lost over $10 billion to crypto crime since Russia’s full-scale invasion, with platform hacks and unauthorized transfers accounting for more than half the losses and scams, ransomware and illicit mixers making up the rest. Criminal networks siphon roughly $24 million monthly from public funds via cash-based trades and fake mule wallets. RUSI warns that crypto adoption in Ukraine has outpaced security measures, exposing donors and citizens to fraud. The think tank calls for a comprehensive overhaul of Ukraine crypto regulation to meet FATF anti-money laundering standards and align digital asset rules with EU requirements by the end of 2025. This Ukraine crypto regulation reform is crucial to stem illicit flows, recover stolen assets, and avoid FATF downgrades that could delay Ukraine’s EU accession and disrupt international payments.

On September 2, Venus Protocol halted its decentralized lending operations after a user unknowingly approved a malicious transaction in a phishing scam, resulting in a $13.5 million loss. Blockchain security firm PeckShield first reported the exploit, revising its initial $27 million estimate after factoring in the user’s outstanding debt. Venus Protocol confirmed that its smart contracts and platform code were not compromised and attributed the loss to user error. The team paused activity briefly for internal security checks, reassuring traders that protocols remained secure. The scam coincided with a separate phishing attack targeting WLFI governance token holders from World Liberty Financial. While the incident underscores the importance of crypto security and phishing awareness, the protocol itself remains fully operational.

BitMine has expanded its Ethereum (ETH) treasury to 1.79 million ETH—over $8 billion—representing 1.5% of the total supply. In one week, the miner added 78,791 ETH (≈$355M), swelling its balance sheet by $2.2 billion. To strengthen governance, BitMine appointed former American Tower director David Sharbutt to its board. This large-scale accumulation underscores growing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential and may tighten market liquidity. BitMine’s recent purchases and staking strategies reduce circulating ETH, which could support price stability and fuel upward momentum. Ethereum price is consolidating near $4,459, holding above $4,400 support amid mixed short-term momentum. Traders should monitor derivatives metrics—funding rates at 0.0065%, open interest near $30.5 billion—and on-chain inflows for tactical entry signals. Watch for reduced sell pressure, higher staking yields and potential supply constraints driving short-term gains and reinforcing long-term bullish sentiment.

Dogecoin ETF speculation is driving bullish momentum for DOGE. Recent Polymarket odds rose from 51% to 71% for approval, fueling a 10% rally that saw Dogecoin clear $0.21 resistance. Analysts note a strong accumulation zone between $0.18 and $0.23 and a bullish flag pattern targeting $0.27 in the near term. Some predict that a successful Dogecoin ETF could send DOGE above $2. In parallel, PayFi altcoin Remittix (RTX) is gaining traction with real-world utility, offering fast, low-cost crypto-to-bank transfers across 30+ countries. The project has raised over $23.2 million, sold 638 million tokens, and secured its first CEX listing on BitMart, with LBank soon. An upcoming Q3 beta wallet supports 40+ cryptocurrencies and 30 fiat currencies. A $250,000 community giveaway and audited security by CertiK further bolster RTX’s appeal. Market participants see Remittix as a top crypto project under $1 poised for significant growth.

The Bitcoin spot market is showing signs of strengthening as buyers cluster supply around recent price levels. According to Glassnode’s on-chain data, cost basis distribution for BTC has become denser than ETH, indicating stronger accumulation. Long-term holder spending has risen modestly but remains within normal cycle levels, suggesting measured profit-taking. Exchange flows reinforce this bullish narrative. Coinbase saw net inflow spikes in late August after 30-day averages hit multi-year lows, while Binance netflow reached its highest since July 2024. The opposing flows point to meaningful liquidity redistribution that could fuel a recovery rally. Technically, Bitcoin spot market price rebounded sharply from $107,300 to break above $109,900. Short-term charts show bullish structure breaks and the 4-hour RSI climbed above 50. Critical resistance lies between $112,500 and $113,650. A daily close above $113,650 would confirm a breakout and target $116,300, $117,500, and $119,500. Failing this, downside risks extend toward $105,000–$100,000.

PEPE has overtaken Shiba Inu in both social engagement and trading volume, signaling a shift in the meme coin market. Over the past 24 hours, PEPE recorded 1.5 million social interactions across 22,800 posts, compared with Shiba Inu’s 791,600 interactions on 15,600 posts. On the trading front, PEPE’s 24-hour volume surged to $583.1 million vs. Shiba Inu’s $205 million. Dogecoin still leads social metrics with 3.6 million interactions. Other meme tokens driving social activity include TRUMP, PUMP, BONK, PENGU, FARTCOIN, GOAT and GIGA. Despite this momentum, Shiba Inu retains a $7 billion market cap and 1.5 million holders, while PEPE’s market cap stands at $4 billion with 482,000 holders. Crypto traders should watch PEPE’s rising social volume and trading momentum as bullish indicators for meme coin price movements.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced an appeal of the U.S. International Trade Court’s ruling that enjoined his “Liberation Day” global tariffs, calling the tariff ruling an economic emergency. He has scheduled an emergency meeting to coordinate the administration’s response and filed for appellate review while seeking a stay from the appeals court. Meanwhile, the U.S. Trade Representative confirmed ongoing trade negotiations despite the court decision. The latest developments around the tariff ruling have put USD markets on edge, as traders anticipate increased volatility in currency and risk assets. Market participants will closely monitor the appeals process and any new measures from the administration, which could influence USD markets and global trade sentiment. The outcome will be critical in shaping fiscal policy and market volatility ahead of upcoming trade talks and economic data releases.

Ozak AI presale enters Phase 5 at $0.01 per token, doubling from Phase 4’s $0.005. So far, 838 million $OZ tokens have been sold, raising $2.58 million; Phase 6 will increase the price to $0.012. The Ozak AI platform merges AI analytics with a decentralized DePIN storage network, the Ozak Stream Network for low-latency data, secure Data Vaults, customizable Prediction Agents, and supports cross-chain interoperability, staking and on-chain governance. Strategic partnerships with SINT, Hive Intel and Weblume enable AI execution tools, blockchain data APIs and no-code dApp integrations. With a total supply of 10 billion $OZ tokens – 30% for presale, 30% for ecosystem growth, 20% reserves, 10% liquidity and 10% team – a 1 ETH investment currently buys around 100,000 $OZ at $0.01. If $OZ reaches the $1 target, traders could see significant returns. Roadshows in Vietnam and plans for Coinfest Asia 2025 in Bali may boost adoption. Traders should monitor token release schedules and market trends before the next price jump.

Market sentiment around Cardano (ADA) has soured as the token trades near critical support at $0.8221, prompting whales and retail investors to seek higher-yield altcoin opportunities. Remittix (RTX) has emerged as a prime target. With over $23.2 million raised via token sales and listings on BitMart and soon LBANK, Remittix offers low gas fees and PayFi infrastructure bridging crypto to fiat. The upcoming beta wallet launch on September 15 aims to streamline transactions and boost adoption. Analysts highlight Remittix’s utility use cases and potential for speculative upside, estimating up to 20x returns. Attracted by cross-chain DeFi prospects, staking rewards, and real-world applications, Cardano holders are reallocating capital to RTX tokens. This shift underscores a broader altcoin rotation driven by whales hunting short-term gains. Traders monitoring ADA should watch for a decisive move above $0.88 resistance to validate a rebound, while Remittix’s CEX expansions mark it as a key altcoin play in Q3 2025.

Shiba Inu coin has formed an inverted head and shoulders pattern, trading at $0.00001226 and signaling a potential 540% rise to $0.000081 upon a confirmed breakout. Meanwhile, SYC presale stage 1 offers utility-focused features—Hold-to-Earn rewards, AutoMine bandwidth mining, Smart Yield Pay cards, AI gas-fee predictions, cross-chain swaps, and CoinSight analytics—at $0.015 per token. Audited by HashKode and led by veteran CMO Manuel Navarrete Alguacil, Smart Yield Coin has raised over $115,000, with stage 1 nearly sold out ahead of a price increase in stage 2. Traders should watch Shiba Inu’s key support zone at $0.000018–0.000020 and track SYC presale momentum for potential trading opportunities.

Hashgraph Group launched TransAct, a managed wallet service that lets enterprises use the Hedera network without holding HBAR. TransAct abstracts gas fees, wallet management, and crypto-fiat conversions, offering automated USD invoicing and integrated compliance. Clients keep full control of private keys while TransAct handles transaction execution. Tailored for enterprise and government deployment, TransAct’s deep Hedera integration simplifies distributed ledger adoption. The service supports both cryptocurrency and fiat payments, streamlining DLT operations. The launch comes as Hedera momentum grows—HBAR rallied after inclusion in the RBA’s Project Acacia stablecoin trials and a Robinhood listing. Hedera’s HBAR now ranks 16th by market cap, underscoring rising institutional interest.

Five startups—Swedish fintech giant Klarna, blockchain lender Figure, crypto exchange Gemini, engineering services provider Legence and cafe chain Black Rock Coffee Bar—have kicked off their US IPO roadshows as the second-half market shows signs of warming. Klarna aims for a valuation up to $14 billion with 34.3 million shares priced at $35–$37 each. Figure targets a $4.1 billion valuation after raising $1.5 billion in venture and debt financing. Gemini plans to raise $316.7 million at a $2.2 billion market cap, having secured nearly $500 million in funding to date. Legence is seeking up to $2.95 billion in its public offering, while Black Rock Coffee Bar looks to raise $265 million by offering 14.7 million shares at $16–$18 apiece. The wave of IPO roadshows underscores renewed investor appetite for public offerings, particularly in fintech and blockchain sectors.

The WLFI token, part of the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial project, officially launched on September 1 on major exchanges including Binance, OKX and Bybit. It saw $1B in trading volume in the first hour and briefly valued the family’s holdings at over $6B. However, blockchain data shows an insider dumping of 698M WLFI tokens—bought at $0.015–$0.05—on launch day. This 20× sell-off drove the token price down from highs of $0.46 to around $0.23 within hours. Prices fluctuated between $0.24 and $0.30 as retail buyers absorbed the sell pressure. World Liberty Financial, formed in Delaware, controls 60% of WLFI revenue through Trump-linked entities. The project also includes the TRUMP memecoin, Melania’s MEME token, Trump NFT cards and the USD1 stablecoin (now at a $2.7B market cap). Lawmakers and regulators have flagged conflicts of interest and governance risks tied to the token launch. Traders should monitor WLFI token volatility, insider sell caps and broader Trump crypto developments for market impact.

Technical indicators and upcoming exchange listings point to a major rebound for Pi coin price this September. On the daily chart, Pi has formed a double-bottom pattern around $0.316 and faces resistance at a $0.465 neckline. Narrowing Bollinger Bands signal low volatility and a potential squeeze similar to May’s triple-digit jump. Moreover, Pi has entered Wyckoff’s accumulation phase, often followed by a strong markup. Institutional interest is rising: Valour launched a Pi Network ETP in Sweden, and Onramp Money, Banxa, and TransFi now support direct $PI purchases post-KYC. Anticipated listings on Binance and Upbit could trigger further gains, historically driving coins to surge by triple digits. Finally, a broader altcoin season—fueled by expected Federal Reserve rate cuts and looming SEC ETF approvals—may amplify buying pressure. Traders should watch Pi coin price action around $0.465 and track major listing announcements for entry signals.

Rocket Pool’s bi-weekly update shows rETH supply has declined from 412,976 to 404,124 (a 2.1% drop), while pending and active minipools edged down to 20,735. Despite this, node operators rose to 4,002, reinforcing network decentralisation. Key protocol milestones include the launch of Smart Node v1.17.2 with client updates for Geth, Lodestar, Nethermind and Nimbus, the rollout of Saturn devnet-4 and the ongoing Cantina audit. Governance updates saw pDAO bootstrap mode disabled and the Governance and Marketing Council adopt Liquity V2’s BOLD stablecoin. Rocket Pool also opened Round 28 of grants and bounties and published its DAO treasury report. On integrations, an ETH treasury strategy began using rETH. Marketing efforts led to a new USD TVL all-time high, a brand refresh and recognition from ETH+. Regulatory clarity arrived as the SEC confirmed liquid staking services like Rocket Pool are not securities. DeFi strategies for rETH on Arbitrum gained traction, rETH’s USD price matched ETH’s all-time high, and the RPL token secured two new exchange listings. With over 700,000 ETH staked across 3,200+ nodes, Rocket Pool remains a leading decentralised Ethereum staking protocol.

Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) activity has collapsed, with active traders dropping 90% over the past 12 months—from over 8 million in October 2024 to below 1 million by September 2025. This decline coincided with a crash in SOL prices from a $300 peak to around $100 in April 2025. Despite weakening on‐chain demand, SOL has steadied above $200 amid broader crypto market recovery. Technical charts show a bullish golden cross in the SOL/BTC pair, where the 50-period moving average has crossed above the 200-period moving average—a pattern that preceded 1,000%+ SOL rallies in 2021 and 2023. Renewed inflows from institutional holders like Sol Strategies and DeFi Development Corp, plus potential meme coin resurgences, could drive SOL further. Traders should watch key support at $185 and a break above $220 for confirmation of a rally toward $300.

Recent upticks in Bitcoin spot trading suggest a potential breakout toward $119K. Onchain data from Glassnode shows a dense Cost Basis Distribution, indicating strong buyer interest versus sparse Ethereum flows. Exchange netflows reveal a shift in liquidity: Coinbase recorded netflow troughs from Aug. 25–31 after its 30-day SMA reached a multi-year low, while Binance’s netflows peaked at highs unseen since July 2024, signaling reaccumulation before price advances. Long-term holders’ spending remains moderate, supporting stability. Technically, Bitcoin rebounded from a key $107.3K support, broke above $109.9K, and reclaimed RSI levels above 50 on the four-hour chart, hinting at bullish momentum. A decisive close above $113.65K would confirm a bullish break of structure and could propel Bitcoin toward resistance targets at $116.3K, $117.5K, and $119.5K. Conversely, failure to hold $113.65K risks a decline toward $105K–$100K, especially given typical September seasonality. Traders watching Bitcoin spot trading should monitor netflow trends and structural breaks for entry or exit signals.

Figure Technology has launched a $526 million IPO on Nasdaq under ticker FIGR, valuing the blockchain lender at about $4.3 billion. The company is offering 21.5 million new shares at $18–$20 each, plus 4.9 million existing shares, with pricing set for September 10. Building on $190.6 million revenue and $29.1 million net income in H1 2025, Figure IPO marks a turnaround from its H1 2024 loss. Founder Mike Cagney retains voting control post-IPO. The firm has originated $16 billion in blockchain loans via its Provenance Blockchain, shifting from consumer lending to crypto finance. Backers include Apollo Global, Ribbit Capital and 10T Holdings. The Figure IPO comes amid a wave of crypto listings—Gemini, Kraken and Bullish—and follows Circle’s IPO, which more than doubled on debut. This listing underscores growing institutional adoption of blockchain lending and could accelerate capital inflows into crypto infrastructure.

Over the past week, Ethereum ETF inflows totaled over $307 million, signaling a peak in Wall Street crypto activity. Major institutions like JPMorgan, BlackRock and Fidelity are expanding crypto custody and tokenization services. However, rapid ETF-driven fund flows risk overheating markets, with macro volatility from Fed policy, dollar swings and leveraged positions heightening the threat of sharp corrections. On-chain data shows large wallet inflows into ETH and BTC, suggesting trader overconfidence. As regulatory shifts loom, any reversal in ETF flows could trigger steep sell-offs. Against this backdrop, presale project MAGACOIN FINANCE positions itself as a high-conviction alternative. The token, backed by dual audits from CertiK and HashEx, has sold out multiple presale tiers through engineered scarcity and precise distribution. Analysts project up to 9,000% ROI, offering institutional-level security and early demand-driven growth. Traders should weigh Wall Street crypto embrace against near-term risks, considering MAGACOIN FINANCE and similar presale opportunities for strategic entry points.

Binance has added the ZENT token to its Alpha Projects program, a strategic initiative designed to incubate promising early-stage cryptocurrencies. Participation in the program provides ZENT with technical support, exposure to Binance’s developer ecosystem and community, and potential fast-track listing opportunities on Binance’s main platform. This move underscores Binance’s confidence in ZENT’s technology and roadmap. For traders, ZENT’s inclusion may boost liquidity, trading volume and market visibility in the near term. Monitoring on-chain metrics and Binance announcements will be key for assessing entry and exit points.

Binance has added WOD to its Alpha Projects platform, giving selected users early access to trade the token. The WOD listing on Binance Alpha Projects aims to test liquidity and demand before a full public launch. Traders can participate in WOD trading via spot pairs with USDT. This early listing often drives volume spikes and price volatility, as seen in previous Alpha Project tokens. Binance Alpha Projects offers a controlled environment for new tokens. WOD’s inclusion signals confidence in its fundamentals. Traders should monitor order book depth and price movements closely. Participation may offer arbitrage opportunities ahead of broader listings.

Analyst Ali Martinez spots back-to-back buy signals from the TD Sequential indicator on XRP’s 12-hour chart. After a late-August sell-off dragged XRP from near $3 to about $2.7, these signals may mark bearish exhaustion and the formation of a floor. Martinez highlights that sustaining closes above support at $2.7 could trigger a rebound toward $2.8–$2.85 resistance. Traders often seek follow-through confirmation before acting on TD Sequential alerts. While not a guaranteed reversal, this setup could attract buyers and alter sentiment if validated by upcoming price action.

Cardano’s ADA faces renewed selling pressure after major holders offloaded approximately 30 million ADA over the past week. Trading volume spiked 69% to $1.45 billion, reflecting heightened activity. Key exponential moving averages (EMAs) have crossed bearish, indicating that sellers control short- to mid-term momentum. Immediate support lies between $0.80 and $0.78. A break below this zone could send ADA toward a higher-low near $0.70, with further downside risk at $0.57. Resistance remains in the $0.92–$1.00 range, where whales began selling their holdings. Liquidation data shows around $17 million in shorts clustered at $0.82–$0.85, compared with smaller long exposure near $0.78. A rapid short squeeze could push ADA back above $1.00, but current selling intensity suggests bears remain in control. Traders should manage risk with stop-loss orders below $0.76, monitor on-chain whale flows and EMA behaviour for reversal signals. If demand resurfaces near $0.57, accumulation may present a tactical buying opportunity.

Crypto commentator Crypto Sensei (@Crypt0Senseii) revealed that more than 20 central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilots are underway globally, yet only a handful have been publicly announced. Major economies such as the European Central Bank and France are speculated to be running private trials, potentially leveraging XRP’s on-ledger settlement features for the Digital Euro. Ripple’s recurring presence in policy discussions and confirmed CBDC partnerships highlights its growing influence on digital currency infrastructure. Integrating XRP into CBDC systems could expand its use in cross-border settlements and liquidity management, increasing demand and utility. Traders should monitor Ripple’s CBDC collaborations and updates on undisclosed pilots, as these developments could drive XRP price movements and market sentiment.

CleanCore has raised $175 million in a private placement to fund its Dogecoin treasury. The company sold 5.07 million shares at $34.50 each to institutional investors. Proceeds will be used to build a corporate Dogecoin treasury that holds digital assets on the balance sheet. Following the private placement announcement, CleanCore shares plunged 8% amid market concerns over regulatory scrutiny and dilution risk. The move marks a rare example of a public company creating a Dogecoin treasury via private placement. Market observers note that strategic crypto fundraising can boost demand and signal long-term commitment. Traders should watch CleanCore’s share performance and Dogecoin price as the treasury programme unfolds.

The event, co-hosted by Eric Newcomer and Nayeema Raza, will spotlight AI-driven healthcare and longevity. O’Neill is known for his roles with the Thiel Foundation and Clarium Capital and brings extensive HHS and CDC experience. The AI Health Summit will feature founders from Abridge, Benchling, Loyal, Noom, and Hippocratic AI, alongside VCs such as Vinod Khosla, Annie Lamont, and Bob Kocher. Healthcare startup leaders can apply for tickets through the summit’s official site. Final agenda details are due tomorrow.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) plans a multisignature (multisig) token burn of 47 million WLFI tokens worth millions of dollars. To execute the token burn, WLFI’s three-key multisig wallet requires three signatures; two have been collected and the final signature is pending. The upcoming token burn aims to reduce circulating supply, potentially creating upward price pressure. Traders should monitor WLFI’s multisig wallet for the final signature and confirm when the burn completes. The token burn announcement triggered a modest price uptick on low liquidity, indicating that supply reduction events could influence WLFI’s market performance. Stakeholders await detailed burn schedules and on-chain proof of destruction to assess longer-term impacts on WLFI’s tokenomics.

Bitcoin ETFs now hold over 1.47 million BTC, representing 7% of the maximum supply, led by BlackRock’s IBIT (746,810 BTC) and Fidelity’s FBTC (199,500 BTC). From December 2024 to August 2025, global Bitcoin ETFs added around 170,000 BTC (~US$18.7 billion), though August saw a US$301 million net outflow from Bitcoin ETFs even as Ethereum funds attracted US$3.95 billion. Large crypto whales continue reallocating assets, with one whale swapping 4,000 BTC for 96,859 ETH (~US$3.8 billion) in 12 hours and others moving about US$456 million from Bitcoin to Ethereum. Meanwhile, the SEC is reviewing 92 crypto ETF applications including Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP), with approval decisions due in October. Analyst PlanC forecasts a gradual path for Bitcoin to reach US$1 million over seven years. Traders should watch pending ETF approvals and whale movements for short-term volatility and evolving institutional demand for both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
