Bitcoin’s improving market conditions have begun easing pressure on underwater holders, although the broader recovery remains incomplete. The unrealized loss ratio fell to 35.2%, dropping below the historical 40% deep-stress threshold after peaking at 42.2% in late June. That decline suggests fewer investors currently hold Bitcoin [$BTC] at a loss, reflecting reduced market stress. However, the indicator rebounded from 30.4% around the 21st of July, showing selling pressure has not disappeared entirely. Source: CryptoQuant Historical cycles suggest the first move below 40% rarely confirms a lasting recovery. Instead, similar phases often precede prolonged consolidation before either strengthening further or advancing…

Robinhood shares jumped by nearly 14% on Friday as the crypto market recovery reached companies that had a substantial exposure to digital assets. HOOD traded at $108.31 after reaching $109.71 during the session. The rally also arrived amidst Washington’s fresh attention on crypto regulation and prediction markets, with the two being the growing parts of Robinhood’s business. Crypto rally lifts Robinhood shares Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies continued gaining in price after President Donald Trump renewed his call for Congress to pass digital-asset market legislation. The push has improved sentiment around businesses that could benefit from clearer US rules, and…

The line between traditional equities and crypto is thinning again. KuCoin announced Tuesday the integration of Ondo tokenized stocks on KuCoin Alpha, a move that gives its users direct on-chain exposure to shares of major companies. The listing, detailed in the original report, marks another step in the exchange’s push into real-world asset tokenization. KuCoin Alpha is traditionally a launchpad for early-stage token projects. Adding tokenized stocks there—not just to the main spot market—suggests the exchange sees these instruments as high-growth opportunities rather than stable, mature products. That classification could attract a different kind of trader: one hunting for arbitrage…

The Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation filed the complaint on Aug. 21 in Sangamon County Circuit Court against Illinois Department of Revenue Director David Harris, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser. They want the Digital Asset Tax Act declared unlawful and preliminary and permanent injunctions blocking enforcement. Crypto Groups Take Aim at a Tax With No Real Peer The battle starts with how Illinois calculates the levy. Rather than taxing a customer’s profit, the law grabs 0.2% of the digital asset’s value when certain activities run through a digital asset broker. The complaint…

The U.S. Senate has put the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act on course for a 60-vote procedural test on Sept. 15. The bill is intended to create a broader federal framework for digital asset markets. Under the official floor schedule, cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 is scheduled to ripen at 2:15 p.m. A successful vote would move the Senate toward considering the bill. It would not pass the legislation. Why the Senate vote matters Senate rules require three-fifths of senators duly chosen and sworn to invoke cloture on a legislative motion, which means 60 votes in…

Two days ago, on Aug. 1, Bitcoin.com News reported that the Coldcard exploit appeared to be driving bitcoin holders toward centralized exchanges and custodians, while long-dormant $BTC also began stirring back to life. To date, Coldcard’s flawed firmware and random number generator have resulted in an estimated 1,431.97 $BTC being swept and stolen. A 500 $BTC Transfer From 2013 In the last report, 306 $BTC from long-dormant wallets moved between July 30 and Aug. 1, potentially driven by fear surrounding the exploit. This trend has not slowed since that report, and on Monday, a long-dormant 2013 address shifted a staggering…
