By the Numbers As of now, the price of Ethereum remains unchanged, with a current trading volume that reflects the general market uncertainty. The 4,000 $ETH deposit stands out against the backdrop of mixed trends in the crypto space, suggesting that while individual actions can create ripples, the overarching market context remains crucial. Observers note that such deposits can often precede shifts in trading momentum, making it essential for traders to stay alert to changes in liquidity and price movement. Ethereum is a leading blockchain platform known for its smart contract functionality and extensive decentralized application ecosystem. The Gemini exchange…
The company was worth over £120 million ($162 million) as recently as June 24, 2025. Satsuma has crashed 99% from its 2025 peak. What is Satsuma? Incorporated in March 2021 as Streaks Gaming, it pivoted to AI as StreaksAI before hopping on the crypto bandwagon as Tao Alpha. Finally, it channeled the “sats” denomination of $BTC as Satsuma Technology. Interestingly, Strategy founder Saylor apparently encouraged the proliferation of copycats, saying, “There’s room for 400 million companies to buy $BTC.” Unfortunately, the $BTC treasury bubble popped in early summer 2025, and the performance of most of those stocks are overwhelming negative…
Start with what the project agreed to deliver “Token investment” can describe very different arrangements. A SAFT, token warrant, direct purchase agreement, and advisory agreement may provide different rights. The document’s title alone will not tell you whether tokens are currently due. Read the signed agreement alongside its schedules, amendments, and side letters. Identify: The legal entity that owes the obligation. The token and quantity, or formula for calculating your allocation. The event or date that triggers delivery. Any vesting, transfer restrictions, or investor requirements. What happens if the project never launches or winds down. Who can amend the terms…
Custody banking giant BNY is in talks with Payward, the Wyoming-based parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, over a broad partnership spanning digital assets and financial-market infrastructure, according to two people familiar with the matter. The potential agreement could cover areas including crypto products, custody, wealth management, trading, payments and infrastructure, the people said. These offerings are provided through Payward Services, the company’s business-to-business platform for banks, exchanges and asset managers. Elements of the proposed partnership could resemble the infrastructure component of Payward’s recent agreement with Nasdaq, one of the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks…
Ether had $13 million to $14 million in depth within 0.15% of its market price. In simple terms, that’s roughly how much money was sitting in orders close enough to the price that clearing it would move ether by just 0.15%. Depth this close to the price matters most for everyday trades, and for large orders that traders want filled without moving the market. The data undercuts a popular idea in markets that rising prices pull in more traders, and more traders mean deeper order books. That didn’t happen with ether. That said, ether is still fairly easy to trade.…

What the Data Shows As of now, Starknet’s current price is $0, with no reported trading volume in the past 24 hours. This lack of trading activity could indicate market caution, potentially influenced by the mixed signals in the broader crypto landscape. However, the announcement regarding the shielding of 45 assets may represent a strategic move to enhance Starknet’s appeal amidst speculative trading conditions. Investors will likely monitor how this initiative impacts user engagement and platform growth moving forward. Starknet is a layer-2 scaling solution designed to enhance Ethereum’s capabilities, focusing on security and efficiency. By implementing asset shielding, Starknet…
If enacted, the bill would have unlocked crypto’s considerable potential, including its ability to expand financial inclusion and reduce the costs of cross-border payments. Realizing any of that at scale takes more than technical ingenuity, because regulated institutions naturally hesitate to commit capital while the rules remain unwritten, and everyday Americans have little reason to trust a market that no one fully oversees. Congress has long understood the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework. Legislative efforts date back to the Token Taxonomy Act of 2018, and successive attempts across four Congresses have all faltered, though none came as close as…

El Salvador did not use public funds to accumulate bitcoin $BTC$81,110.59 after the first review of its International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan program, the organization said, citing documentation provided by Salvadoran authorities. The documents showed bitcoin added since the review came from private donations, the fund said. No further accumulation beyond documented donations is expected. The disclosure offers an explanation for how El Salvador’s holdings keep growing even though the IMF’s first review called for the public sector’s bitcoin balance to remain unchanged. The country’s official tracker has meanwhile risen to 7,764.37 $BTC on after the balance jumped by more…
