Overall there were fewer mid-sized coins entering exchanges, which would have added additional sellable coins into their respective order books. Source: CryptoQuant The largest decrease was at Binance, where the number of mid-sized coins going into their platform dropped almost 30% from 4,390 $BTC to 3,080 $BTC. This indicates that larger, mid-sized coin investors are choosing to hold rather than sell their coins during the increase in price. This reversal produced a 1,160 $BTC swing between both venues. As such, it appears that large mid-size investor activity is shifting between different exchanges. However, no increase in overall selling pressure was…

Additional $1.5 Billion Equity Purchase The fresh capital injection signals that Nvidia wants a bigger seat at the table before SB Energy hits the public markets. Rather than waiting to buy in during the offering itself, Nvidia locked in its position early, a pattern that echoes similar moves the chipmaker has made across the AI supply chain in recent quarters. Total Equity Commitment Reaches $3 Billion With this tranche, Nvidia’s cumulative equity exposure to SB Energy doubles to $3 billion. That figure represents a direct financial stake in the company that will operate some of the largest AI-dedicated data center…

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump’s coin has been outperforming his wife’s, likely due to the constant media attention the president receives. But it may also be because the coin has staged two giveaways so far with another upcoming. $TRUMP memecoin may be doing poorly, but $MELANIA is an atrocity $MELANIA is an atrocity” — Protos” src=”https://protos.com/trump-coin-may-doing-poorly-but-melania-coin-is-an-atrocity1/embed/#?secret=5aCjmsVa5Q#?secret=ANi05B1AFw” frameborder=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ marginheight=”0″ scrolling=”no”>]]> ‘Coin Club’ sure looks like quid pro quo While the company operating the Donald Trump Coin Club hasn’t been investigated by any US law enforcement agency, it certainly fills the air with the stink of quid pro quo. In April of 2025,…

“The president agreed to not one but two different ethics provisions that were unprecedented in nature,” Witt said. Apart from an eventual willingness to submit to rules that would have forced Trump to divest crypto interests or place them in a blind trust, the White House was also ready to concede to letting state attorneys general pursue the federal government if it failed to police ethical lapses, he said. “That is without a doubt the most unprecedented, far-reaching, stringent, restrictive ethics provision that has ever been agreed to by any president,” Witt said. He said the Democrats accusing Trump of…

The complication is that the latest inflation reports capture little of oil’s most recent advance, leaving traders to price an energy shock before it fully appears in official data. Oil surge leaves inflation data chasing the market Oil’s latest leg higher came after much of the August inflation data had already been collected, increasing the risk that current readings understate the price pressure now building through energy markets. West Texas Intermediate crude rose more than 4% to above $100 a barrel for the first time since May, while Brent climbed past $105 after escalating attacks on Middle East shipping routes…

The upgraded platform is designed to handle a digital Hong Kong dollar and a central bank digital currency (CBDC), Yue said. He added that the HKMA will also study whether tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins can settle directly on the CMU. Separately, the Securities and Futures Commission published its strategy for carrying out Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan and the Chief Executive’s 2026 Policy Address. The commission split its measures into a short-term batch and a medium-to-long-term batch, both batches with the stated aim of deepening the links between mainland China and global markets. The SFC has also said it…

Armstrong, also commenting on Bitcoin’s recent rebound after finding support around $60,000, argued that the bottom of the latest market cycle may have been reached. Armstrong stated, “Personally, I believe that the bottom of this latest cycle in Bitcoin is behind us. We’ve already seen it start rising from around $60,000.” Coinbase CEO Armstrong believes that regulatory developments in the US play a significant role in his $400,000 target for Bitcoin. Armstrong specifically mentioned that investors are closely watching the CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify the legal framework of the cryptocurrency market. However, according to Armstrong, the bill doesn’t…

The Chainlink equity-linked feeds combine the underlying share price with a Coinbase issuer multiplier. LlamaRisk specifies an operating window from Sunday 8 p.m. to Friday 8 p.m. Eastern time. From Friday evening to Sunday evening, and on US market holidays, the feeds hold their last value rather than publishing a new one. The Aave market itself remains open for deposits, borrowing and liquidation, and the stock tokens can still change hands onchain. A collateral position’s price-based health reading therefore cannot reflect fresh information during that closure. Interest on a $USDC loan can still push a position across the liquidation threshold…
