One of the most followed crypto traders allegedly just sent 4,001 ETH to the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. That is $18.02 million worth of Ethereum coins gone in one shot, according to Lookonchain. The address is connected to trader DonAlt — the same analyst who predicted last year that XRP would rise from $0.50 to $3.65, a move that increased the coin’s price by around 700% to a market cap worth of $180 billion. This time, at the center of the discussion is not XRP but Ethereum. At around $4,498 per coin, ETH is less than $500 away from…

Hyperliquid’s very own stablecoin USDHL, developed by Native Markets, debuted Wednesday, generating over $2 million in early volume. As of writing, the Hyperliquid-listed USDH/USDC pair traded at 1.001, with a total trading volume of 2,244,932.79 USDC.

The dollar-pegged stablecoin is issued natively on HyperEVM and is backed by cash and short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The stablecoin will help reduce Hyperliquid’s dependency on external stablecoins such as the Circle-issued USDC, which accounts for…
Despite a recent bout of market volatility, Ethereum’s bullish sentiment remains strong. With ETH holding strong above key support levels, its growing institutional demand and dominance in DeFi and staking, many believe the foundation for a new all-time high is already in place.

GameStop reports Q2 revenue of $972.2 million, slightly up from last year due to hardware sales
GameStop’s second-quarter numbers are out, and they barely moved the needle. The company pulled in $972.2 million in net sales for the quarter ending August 2. That’s up from $798.3 million last year in the same quarter. The reason? A small lift in hardware sales, enough to tick the total revenue higher, but nothing major. Still, investors pushed the stock up 4% after hours, riding momentum and memes more than actual operational wins. This company, still known for the 2021 retail frenzy, posted a net income of $168.6 million, up from $14.8 million a year ago. The massive jump came…

Good Morning, Asia. Here’s what’s making news in the markets: BTC is pinned near $111,000 with volatility compressed to multi-month lows, the kind of calm that tends to precede decisive moves. Traders know what could break the lull: September’s U.S. inflation data and the Fed’s rate decision a week later. Prediction markets are leaning heavily toward easing. Polymarket bettors are assigning an 82% chance of a 25-basis-point cut on Sept. 17, leaving only slim odds for a deeper move or no change. Beyond that, October expectations are fractured, with nearly even probabilities for another cut or a pause. That divergence…
