Find Mining has launched an XRP cloud mining service that allows XRP holders to earn daily passive income by powering Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) mining rigs. Users deposit a minimum of 35 XRP and choose from contract plans ranging from a $100 two-day trial to a $12,000 30-day premium hashrate package. The XRP cloud mining solution leverages fast settlement and low fees to automate profit settlement, support daily withdrawals, and secure assets via multi-tier hot and cold wallets. With direct XRP payments, traders bypass exchanges and technical setup, diversifying earnings beyond price fluctuations. Following Ripple’s legal victory over the SEC and improving crypto ETF prospects, Find Mining plans to add more assets and flexible income models to optimize returns. This passive income strategy offers traders a reliable hedge against market volatility.

Last week’s crypto fund inflows surged to $572 million after the US approved cryptocurrency investments in 401(k) retirement plans. Ethereum products attracted $268 million, pushing year-to-date inflows to $8.2 billion and lifting assets under management to $32.6 billion. Bitcoin funds drew $260 million, reversing two weeks of outflows and reducing short positions by $4 million. Among altcoins, Solana saw $21.6 million of inflows, raising its 2023 total to $874 million, while XRP gained $18.4 million amid favorable SEC lawsuit developments and SBI’s proposed ETF inclusion. Near added $10.1 million, and other tokens also recorded gains. Regional data show the US led with $608 million net inflows, Canada added $16.5 million, and select European markets saw $54.3 million in outflows. Total trading volumes in digital asset funds dipped 23% month-on-month, reflecting seasonal slowdown. However, strong crypto fund inflows into Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana and XRP underline growing institutional acceptance and could fuel further market momentum.

El Salvador’s new Investment Banking Law authorizes PSAD-licensed crypto providers to operate as Bitcoin banks serving accredited investors. These Bitcoin banks must hold at least $50 million in capital, and clients need $250 000 in liquid assets. They can underwrite firms, issue bonds, offer loans and transact in local and foreign currencies, including digital assets. The law aims to attract institutional capital and reinforce El Salvador’s crypto finance hub status. Critics warn benefits may favor the state and large corporations. Traders should monitor the rollout of Bitcoin banking services and potential impacts on BTC demand.

Meta has banned over 6.8 million WhatsApp accounts linked to crypto scams in the first half of 2025. Its proactive detection tools intercepted “pig butchering” schemes—where scammers build trust via romance or low-risk investment promises to swindle cryptocurrency—before centres could launch them. To curb further WhatsApp scams, Meta rolled out in-app alerts for unknown group invites and added fraud flags. It also partnered with OpenAI to dismantle a Cambodia-based ring using ChatGPT to script social-engineering messages. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reports that pig butchering scams generated 33.2% of digital asset scam revenue in 2024, with losses nearing $10 billion. In response to rising crypto fraud, U.S. lawmakers introduced the GUARD Act to equip agencies with blockchain tracing tools.

World Liberty Financial is moving forward with a WLFI Nasdaq listing by creating a $1.5 billion treasury company to hold and trade its WLFI tokens. According to Bloomberg, the structure mirrors MicroStrategy’s proxy strategy and is under active negotiation with major tech and crypto investors. Backed by former President Trump’s family, WLFI has already raised $550 million through two token sales. The new Nasdaq-listed entity aims to boost WLFI token liquidity and investor confidence. The firm also launched its USD1 stablecoin loyalty program for high-volume traders and DeFi users, offering points, staking rewards, and seamless app transfers. Traders should watch how the WLFI Nasdaq listing and additional fundraising accelerate WLFI’s expansion in DeFi and stablecoin markets.

Bitcoin price is trading around $118,000 after a 4.17% weekly gain. Technical analysis from KillaXBT shows the August monthly open at $115,752 has flipped into support, signaling bullish momentum. A key resistance zone at $120,000 aligns with last week’s open ($119,414) and major liquidation orders. A breakout above the descending trendline on lower timeframes could push Bitcoin price toward the $120K mark and potentially test the all-time high near $123,186. If Bitcoin price fails to breach $120K, a pullback to the $110,000–112,000 support range—featuring a fair value gap at $111,955—is likely. Traders should watch for a pattern of higher highs and higher lows intraday to confirm the uptrend. While an early-week dip could hunt liquidity from overleveraged longs, overall momentum remains bullish.

On August 11, 2025, Solana-based onchain capital markets platform DEFITUNA completed a rapid capital raise of 12,376.24 SOL (about $1.75M) in under three minutes. The early access round—capped at $10,000 per user—sold out in exactly three minutes, while the public allocation closed within seconds. Founder Moty Povolotski highlighted strong demand for real-time liquidity and advanced trading infrastructure. This milestone confirms Solana’s high throughput and low congestion, validating its readiness for internet-scale capital markets. DEFITUNA’s upcoming Fusion AMM will introduce onchain limit orders, tighter spreads, and more efficient execution. The success cements DEFITUNA’s position in the Solana ecosystem and underscores growing confidence in Solana’s next-generation DeFi solutions.

BitMine has boosted its ETH treasury to approximately 1.15 million ETH after adding 317,126 coins valued at $2 billion in one week. The ETH treasury now stands at near $5 billion, making BitMine the largest corporate holder and reinforcing its goal to control 5% of total ETH supply. The firm’s focus on ethereum accumulation and token staking has driven its BMNR shares up 25% over the past week and a further 10% in pre-market trading. Daily trading volume averaged $2.2 billion, ranking BitMine among the top 25 U.S. stocks and underscoring strong institutional demand for its crypto treasury strategy. This aggressive ETH treasury build and staking push has coincided with ether breaching $4,300 over the weekend. Traders should watch for continued scarcity-driven support that may boost both short-term rallies and long-term stability in the ethereum market.

BNB has broken key resistance at $750 and is trading around $811, up 9% weekly, supported by strong weekly candles with minimal pullbacks. Technical analysts highlight an emerging bullish pattern: Ali compares the weekly chart to Bitcoin’s pre-rally consolidation, pinpointing $950 as the trigger for a major breakout. Trader Mando CT identifies an ascending channel that could lead BNB to $1,000 and potentially $1,200, aligning with historical resistance zones. Volume is rising and the RSI sits at 63.5, with BNB holding above all major EMAs, reinforcing the bullish case. These developments reinforce the BNB price target outlook. Institutional demand is intensifying. Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries is launching a $500 million private placement backed by YZi Labs, 10X Capital and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Its subsidiary, BNB Network Company, has already acquired 200,000 BNB (about 0.13% of supply) for $160 million, making CEA the largest U.S.-listed BNB treasury firm. This move underscores growing Wall Street exposure and supply tightening. Traders targeting the BNB price target of $1,000–$1,200 will watch macro and regulatory developments closely to sustain this bullish momentum.

BNC, the treasury arm of CEA Industries, acquired 200,000 BNB (Binance Coin) tokens for $160 million on the open market. This purchase makes BNC the largest publicly disclosed corporate Binance Coin holder. The deal follows a $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs, with up to $750 million in warrants that could raise its Binance Coin investment to $1.25 billion. The move drove Binance Coin to a record $861.20 and boosted its market cap above $119 billion. Higher spot and derivatives volumes suggest a strong market reaction. BNC plans to stake its Binance Coin holdings for yield, which may reduce circulating supply and support price stability. This corporate treasury diversification underscores growing institutional confidence in Binance Coin and may prompt further large-scale token accumulation.

Ethereum’s market cap first climbed to $430 billion, overtaking Mastercard’s $420 billion to rank 25th among global assets. In a continued rally, strong institutional demand, robust DeFi growth, a revival in NFT activity, Ethereum 2.0 upgrades, and expansive Layer-2 scaling solutions pushed its market cap further to $519.5 billion, surpassing Mastercard’s $519.2 billion and making Ethereum the world’s 22nd largest asset. Analysts anticipate that clearer regulations and broader global adoption could drive Ethereum market cap even higher. Traders should monitor ecosystem developments and on-chain metrics, including DeFi TVL and NFT volume, to gauge potential market movements.

The global crypto market cap topped $4.1 trillion for the second time in under a month, driven by strong Bitcoin and Ethereum performance. ETH rallied 46% over the past month to above $4,300—its highest since December 2021—on institutional ETP inflows and corporate treasury accumulation, lifting its market cap past $520 billion. BTC also gained about 3% to $121,000 after roughly $250 million in ETF inflows and growing institutional adoption. Mid- and small-cap tokens such as PUMP, LDO, ENA and HYPE outperformed with 5–18% gains, while major altcoins remained flat. Despite widespread rallies, Bitcoin dominance at 58.9% has stalled a full-scale altseason. Analysts note a shift from retail to institutional capital and traders are now watching dominance metrics and ETF flows to gauge whether the crypto market cap expansion will broaden into a sustained altcoin upswing.

BlackRock has confirmed it has no immediate plans to file a spot XRP ETF. The world’s largest asset manager focuses on its existing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and has ruled out both XRP and Solana ETFs for now. The announcement halts speculation that BlackRock would join other firms in launching an XRP ETF. Analysts note strong market demand: futures-based XRP funds have attracted over $1 billion in inflows this year. While legal clarity following Ripple’s SEC lawsuit increases the odds of spot XRP ETF approval later this year (estimated at 95%), issuers like BlackRock remain cautious, weighing liquidity, custody infrastructure and first-mover advantages before filing. With no official SEC submission yet, traders should temper expectations for a BlackRock XRP ETF in the near term.

Ethereum (ETH) extended its weekend rally by reclaiming the $4,200 zone and closing at $4,249—its strongest weekly finish since 2021. It has now broken through key resistance of $4,100–$4,400. On-chain analysis shows the MVRV ratio climbing to 2.0, while MACD has turned positive, signaling bullish momentum. Sustained closes above $4,400 could trigger a short-term surge toward $4,500 and $4,800. If Ethereum fails to hold above $4,100, a retest of $3,800–$3,600 is possible. Traders should watch volume, MVRV thresholds (~2.4 and 3.2 for profit-taking) and other on-chain signals to time entries and exits.

Ethereum price has accelerated its upward trajectory over the past three days, climbing more than 15% from a $3,650 support zone. The rally broke through multiple resistance levels at $3,720, $3,800 and the key $4,000 pivot, also clearing the 50-week SMA and bearish trend lines at $3,920 (hourly) and $4,100 (daily). Immediate targets lie at $4,350 and $4,500, while a decisive move above $4,550 could open up further gains to $4,700, $5,000 and the 1.618 Fib extension at $5,750. On the downside, strong support sits at $4,200, $4,100 and $3,800. Technical indicators remain bullish, with the MACD in positive territory and RSI above 50, suggesting the ETH price rally could continue if key support levels hold.

Cardano price turned bullish after ADA price broke above the $0.79 resistance. This breakout completed a falling wedge pattern and set the stage for further gains. Analysts now set a near-term ADA target at $1.20 and a year-end goal around $2.90, reflecting past ADA cycles and growing ETF speculation. The upcoming Midnight upgrade is expected to boost DeFi activity on Cardano. SEC delays and Charles Hoskinson’s consultations fuel hopes for a spot ADA ETF. Meanwhile, Remittix (RTX) has raised $18.7 million and sold over 588 million tokens at $0.0922 during its presale. With a Q3 wallet beta offering a 40% bonus, RTX targets 500% gains in 2025 as a crypto-to-fiat bridge. Traders should monitor ADA price action, Cardano price outlook, ETF filings, upgrade timelines, and RTX adoption to gauge potential market shifts.

July’s DApp report reveals mixed Web3 activity. Daily active wallets fell 8% to 22 million, as summer cooled engagement. DeFi TVL surged 30% to a record $270 billion, led by Ethereum. NFT trading volume jumped 96% to $530 million, with average prices doubling to $105. Tokenized stocks market cap spiked 220%, driven by growing demand for real-world assets. GameFi interactions rose 2%, while AI DApps declined 14% despite gains for Dmail, XPIN and ChainGPT. The DApp report also highlights security risks. Smart contract exploits caused $132 million in losses, up 16% month-on-month. On regulation, US lawmakers advanced the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the CLARITY Act on asset classification. The SEC’s Project Crypto aims to bridge DeFi and traditional finance. For traders, the DApp report signals strong DeFi yields and NFT momentum in the short term. Long term, wider adoption of tokenized assets and regulatory clarity could bolster market confidence. However, security vulnerabilities underscore the need for careful risk management.

Standard Chartered Bank’s Hong Kong arm and blockchain firm Animoca Brands have formed a joint venture, Anchorpoint Financial Limited, to pursue an HKD stablecoin license under Hong Kong’s new regulatory framework. The JV formally applied to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on August 1 and plans to develop a compliant HKD stablecoin for retail and institutional use cases, including blockchain gaming, NFT marketplaces and cross-border payments. Leveraging Standard Chartered’s local currency issuance license—one of only three in Hong Kong—and Animoca’s Web3 expertise, Anchorpoint aims to launch the regulated stablecoin by early 2025, pending approval. Following a July sandbox trial with Hong Kong Telecom and amid competition from JD Digital and Ant Group, traders should monitor this HKD stablecoin project for potential liquidity and trading opportunities in Hong Kong’s evolving crypto market.

BNC, a Nasdaq-listed firm, has purchased 200,000 BNB tokens worth $160 million, becoming the largest corporate holder of Binance Coin. The acquisition was funded through a $500 million private placement led by 10X Capital and YZi Labs. Under new CEO David Namdar and with Galaxy Digital’s co-founder joining the board, BNC plans to expand its BNB treasury to $1.25 billion via warrants. BNB’s network shows strong fundamentals, with total value locked at $12.3 billion, 0.75-second transaction confirmations and $0.01 average fees. Over 30 public companies are exploring BNB corporate treasury strategies, potentially adding $1.2 billion in buying pressure. BNB trades near $814, up 2% in 24 hours and close to its all-time high of $859. Technical indicators—including an RSI around 68, positive MACD and widening Bollinger Bands—signal bullish momentum. A break above $859 could send BNB toward $1,000–$1,200, with support near $750.

Subzero Labs’ Rialo has closed a $20 million seed round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Mysten Labs, Coinbase Ventures, Hashed and others. Rialo is a next-generation real-world blockchain developer platform that natively embeds off-chain data and services into its protocol. Developers can call HTTPS APIs, credit scores and external data directly in smart contracts without third-party oracles. The platform supports RISC-V smart contracts and Solana VM compatibility, native timers, cross-chain operations and sub-second confirmations with stable, predictable fees. Users log in via email or social accounts, and built-in Web2 features include two-factor authentication and scheduled transactions. Led by CEO Ade Adepoju and CTO Lu Zhang, the team of former Meta, Apple, Google and Solana engineers aims to lower barriers for enterprise and consumer blockchain adoption by simplifying integration.

Bitcoin price prediction remains strong as BTC trades around $116,200, with institutional investors targeting a $150,000 peak this cycle. Despite a 0.36% pullback over 24 hours, trading volume rose 4.9%, reinforcing bullish sentiment. Historical data shows altcoins often outperform in late bull phases. Remittix (RTX) has gained traction by offering instant crypto-to-bank transfers in 30+ countries. During its presale at $0.0895, RTX sold over 585 million tokens and raised $18.4 million. Key drivers include a Q3 wallet beta launch with real-time FX conversion, a 40% token bonus, a $250,000 marketing giveaway, completed CertiK audit and upcoming cross-chain support. With a deflationary model and support for 40+ cryptocurrencies and 30+ fiat currencies, Remittix targets the $19 trillion global remittance market. These fundamentals suggest RTX could deliver up to 100x gains before BTC reaches $150K. Traders can use this insight in their Bitcoin price prediction and altcoin strategies to optimize returns.

Crypto fake news has roiled digital-asset markets over the past decade, from the 2017 4chan hoax of Vitalik Buterin’s death that triggered a 32% ETH collapse, to the 2018 false Goldman Sachs trading desk report wiping $12 billion off crypto market cap. In 2021, a forged Walmart–Litecoin partnership announcement pumped LTC via pre-positioned option trades. More recently, October 2023 saw a premature Cointelegraph tweet on a BlackRock Bitcoin ETF approval spike BTC by 7%, reversed on retraction. In January 2024, a SIM swap attack compromised the SEC’s Twitter account, briefly lifting BTC to $47,680 before a sharp fall. These misinformation campaigns exploit trader psychology and amplify market volatility, creating short-term arbitrage and trading opportunities. While increased market maturity tempers long-term impact, traders must remain vigilant, verify sources, and manage risk amid ongoing crypto fake news threats.

Ethereum price has gained momentum as ETH2.0 scaling upgrades and lower gas fees drive network improvements. Weekly ETF inflows topping $5 billion pushed ETH above the $3,500 resistance level. On-chain data shows whales accumulated over 1.8 million ETH last month, signalling strong institutional demand. Analysts forecast a revisit of the $4,900 2021 high by late 2025, with more bullish projections of $10,000–$12,000 by mid-2026. Rapid adoption of DeFi protocols and Layer 2 solutions is expected to sustain activity and support further price growth. Continued ETF inflows and whale buying could anchor Ethereum price in the next bull market leg.

Institutional investor FG Nexus (formerly Fundamental Global) has filed a $5 billion shelf registration with the US SEC to acquire up to 10% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The prospectus authorizes $4 billion in at-the-market common stock sales and $1 billion via preferred shares or debt, enabling phased ETH accumulation when market conditions are favorable. Following the announcement, ETH broke above $4,330—the highest level since late 2021—consolidating above the upper Bollinger Band and accompanied by a rising MACD histogram. Key support zones lie at $3,950 and $3,765, while futures funding rates have spiked (up 316% over three days), underscoring strong bullish sentiment. This institutional strategy is poised to boost demand and drive momentum toward a $4,600 breakout.

Bitcoin price has resumed bullish momentum, pressing the key 1.618 Fibonacci golden ratio near $122,000 after an Asia‐session peak of $122,227. A sustained break and hold above this level—based on the 2018 and 2022 bear-market lows—could open a path to $140,000, where Deribit call options show over $3 billion in open interest. Failure to defend $122K may trigger a pullback toward $112K. Traders now await U.S. July CPI data, with core inflation expected to rise 0.3% month-on-month. A hotter print could boost market volatility but is unlikely to derail a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. Continued dollar weakness may underpin crypto bullishness, says strategist Marc Chandler. Watch Bitcoin price action around $122K and any CPI surprises for short-term volatility and trend confirmation.

Tron (TRX) has broken above the key $0.30 resistance and climbed to $0.34 following a consolidation between $0.20 and $0.30. The Mayer Multiple of 1.28 signals a 28% premium over the 250-day moving average, while an RSI near 68 indicates strong buying pressure without entering overbought territory. Derivatives funding rates remain slightly positive at 0.01%, reflecting cautious optimism among futures traders. Social dominance has risen to 1.10%, showing increased market chatter around TRX. A long/short ratio of 0.90 with 52.5% of positions short hints at a potential short squeeze if the uptrend continues. Technical momentum and stable sentiment support a possible 32% rally toward $0.45. Traders should monitor resistance levels, RSI, funding rates and positioning metrics to gauge the sustainability of TRX’s breakout.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz has reaffirmed that XRP escrow releases occur on the first day of every month. The clarification addresses confusion after Whale Alert reported a 1 billion XRP unlock on August 9. Schwartz explained the escrow contract unlocks on schedule, but the XRP Ledger only logs releases when triggered by an on-chain transaction, causing apparent delays in visibility. He dismissed rumors of off-schedule tranches or plans to unlock the entire escrow balance of over 35.6 billion XRP at once. The market reaction was mild, with XRP trading around $3.20, down 2%, leaving traders confident in the predictable XRP escrow release cycle and stable crypto market outlook.

Bill Ackman used his 1.8 million Twitter followers to publicly urge President Trump to pause proposed US tariffs for 90 days. Three days later, the White House adopted the plan, triggering a 4.2% jump in the S&P 500—the largest single-day gain in 16 years. He then applied the same Twitter lobbying to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, driving their stock prices up sixfold over the past year. In March 2024, with Bitcoin nearing record highs, Ackman hinted at allocating up to 2% of his portfolio to crypto, signaling confidence in a crypto-friendly administration. His blend of public policy influence and market bets underscores the growing impact of social media campaigns on market sentiment and portfolio strategies. Crypto traders should watch how influential voices like Bill Ackman can shape regulatory direction and Bitcoin volatility.

The Bitcoin four-year cycle, historically driven by halving events and marked by price peaks in 2013, 2017 and 2021, now faces new market forces. Heavy institutional inflows have pushed the top 100 BTC treasury holders to nearly one million coins, prompting investor Jason Williams and Bitwise CIO Matthew Hougan to argue that the halving-based cycle is ending. Community leader Harry Collins expects a peak in October 2025, while Bitcoin developer Pierre Rochard notes that 95% of BTC supply is already mined, reducing halving’s supply impact. Opponents, including Sygnum’s Martin Burgherr, maintain that the four-year cycle remains a useful reference amid shifting macro factors. Crypto analyst CRYPTO₿IRB and Xapo CEO Seamus Rocca add that ETF adoption and institutional entry may reinforce or coexist with the Bitcoin four-year cycle. Traders should monitor institutional inflows, ETF adoption, regulatory shifts and macroeconomic trends alongside traditional halving dynamics.
