India’s crypto market is showing an interesting change in its user base. Reports reveal that more young people and users from smaller cities are entering the market. But despite the growing number of new users, most of them are not actively trading. This suggests that these people are exploring crypto for reasons besides trading. 63% of ZebPay Crypto Users Not Actively Trading ZebPay’s H1 2026 report found that a large number of Indian crypto users appear to be entering the crypto market to hold their assets rather than trading them frequently. About 63% of ZebPay users held crypto without making…

According to the Shibburn website, a surprising $0 $SHIB was burned in the last 24 hours, with the daily burn rate crashing by 100%. This marks an unusually quiet period for Shiba Inu, with $0 $SHIB burned in the last nine hours. As shown on the Shibburn page, burn activity has flattened at $0, extending the prior day’s decline, with the burn rate drop recorded at 100.00%. A $0 reading does not necessarily indicate that the burn mechanism has failed or that $SHIB burns have permanently stopped. It simply means that no qualifying burn transactions were recorded in this timeframe.…

In brief Base App is scheduled to rebrand back to Coinbase Wallet on September 8.

August’s inflation report left the Federal Reserve with a mixed signal: gasoline drove much of the headline increase, but monthly core inflation accelerated. That combination kept Governor Christopher Waller’s conditional case for a rate hike in play even as Bitcoin held its daily gain. CryptoSlate’s live Bitcoin market data had BTC at $78,683, up 2.08% over 24 hours, when trading closed in the US for the week. In contrast, Reuters reported that futures had moved to about an 85% probability of a quarter-point increase at the Fed’s September 15-16 meeting, from about 70% before the inflation report. CME says its…

Tokenized real-world asset deposits have more than tripled to $7.4 billion between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026 even as total DeFi deposits fell approximately 15%, according to CoinShares and Token Terminal. CoinShares, in its Aug. 6 Hybrid Finance report produced with Token Terminal, reported that tokenized funds, stocks and commodities kept gaining usage across lending, spot markets and perpetual futures during a period of weaker crypto-native activity. The report covers distributed assets that can move outside the issuing platform and excludes networks such as Canton and Provenance from its main analysis. CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti described the company’s thesis as…

Crypto exchange Hyperliquid is paying traders 500% a year to hold long oil derivatives. Payouts are hourly as an additional reward atop the price appreciation of oil itself which has regained $100 per barrel. Of course, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There are no free lunches on Wall Street. First of all, Hyperliquid offers extreme leverage — up to 20x on Brent oil, for example — so unremarkable, intraday price fluctuations can easily wipe out a portfolio. Moreover, even unlevered trades on Hyperliquid inherit innumerable financial risks from bugs, hackers, market manipulators, vulnerable technologies,…

Bitcoin failed to break $80,000 on Sept. 11 as US stocks climbed about 1% and long-dated Treasury yields stayed near levels not seen in years. Bitcoin registered an intraday high of $79,890, still short of the $80,000-$82,000 resistance zone identified by digital asset trading firm QCP. The S&P 500 closed up nearly 1%, while the Dow and Nasdaq followed closely. That split is not proof that Bitcoin has decoupled from macro conditions yet or that sellers around $80,000 have become the dominant market force. Nevertheless, Bitcoin still has to show it can reclaim the level that has capped its recent…

While the question of whether the rise in Ethereum ($ETH) price will continue is debated, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and Chairman of the Board of BitMine, made noteworthy statements about the market’s largest altcoin. Lee believes that Ethereum could reach its all-time high and surpass $5,000 before the end of 2026. In his interview, Lee stated that Ethereum has consolidated within a wide price range for approximately five years, and claimed that opportunities for $ETH in the coming period have become much stronger compared to the past. According to Lee, the fact that financial institutions are beginning to evaluate…

Digital asset treasury companies have mostly lagged the cryptocurrencies they hold, with only four of the 20 largest trading above the value of their token reserves, according to a new analysis by DWF Ventures. DWF Ventures compared the share prices of publicly traded crypto treasury companies with the performance of the tokens they hold. It found that most of the 20 largest companies trade at a market-value-to-net-asset-value ratio, or mNAV, below 1, meaning their shares are valued at less than their crypto holdings. Four of the top 20 crypto treasuries traded at a premium as of Sep. 21 | Source:…
