Lawrence Lepard, founder and portfolio manager at Equity Management Associates, assessed the recent declines in the cryptocurrency market, the MicroStrategy controversy, and global monetary policies. Lepard attributed Bitcoin’s drop to the $58,000 level to an exaggeration of market fears (FUD), recalling past lows of $4,000 and $15,000. The renowned investor stated that investors’ anxiety during price drops is a flawed psychology, adding: “Investing is the only area where people don’t like falling prices. You’re happy when steak goes on sale at the supermarket, but when investment prices drop, you ask yourself, ‘What went wrong?’ According to the Power Law model,…

Renowned asset management firm BlackRock has continued to dominate both the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF market, attracting large amounts of capital in the ecosystem. While Ethereum has been trading sideways, showing mixed price action over the past weeks, onchain data from Arkham Intelligence shows that BlackRock has managed to attract decent capital into the market over the past month. BlackRock buys Ethereum’s dip According to the data, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF (ETHA) bought about $13.9 million worth of $ETH during its latest trading session, bringing the fund’s total Ethereum purchases over the past 20 trading days to $251.4 million. While momentum…

Bitcoin treasury Strategy has blasted Morgan Stanley Capital International’s proposal to exclude it from its Global Investable Market Indexes, calling it “misguided” and “flawed.” Writing in a letter to MSCI Monday, the Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin behemoth’s founder, Michael Saylor, and CEO, Phong Le, said that the company was discriminating against digital asset businesses. MSCI said earlier this month that it was consulting on a plan to define “non-operating companies” and make them ineligible for its Global Investable Market Indexes. The removal of such companies would exclude firms like Strategy from indexes visible to a large pool of institutional investors. Strategy responded…

Cardano traded near $0.1885 on Aug. 11, down about 4.7% over 24 hours and back below the $0.20 level, as traders weighed fresh technical warning signals against a changing U.S. exchange traded fund backdrop. Grayscale withdrew the registration statement for its proposed Cardano Trust ETF on Aug. 7, two days before CME Cardano futures completed six months of trading. The timing matters because the SEC’s generic listing standards allow a commodity based ETP to satisfy one eligibility route when its underlying asset has had a futures contract trading for at least six months on a CFTC regulated designated contract market.…

Tuesday at 2:15 in the afternoon, the Senate holds a procedural vote that decides whether America gets crypto market structure law in this Congress. Look at who wants it. The Treasury Secretary has publicly told the Senate to pass it. The President worked senators directly at a White House meeting with Ripple’s CEO, Coinbase’s CEO and the SEC chairman in the room. The Majority Leader filed cloture before the August recess instead of quietly letting the bill rot on the calendar. Brian Armstrong says flatly that it passes. Now look at the count. Sixty votes. Republicans have fifty-three. At least…

Robinhood Wallet and social trading app Fomo have introduced a feature that allows users to purchase memecoins using credit cards through Apple Pay and Google Pay, bypassing the need for a separate know-your-customer (KYC) process at checkout. The integration, built on Crossmint’s Token Checkout, processes payments on the Robinhood Chain network and classifies transactions under the merchant category code for digital goods media — a category typically used for products like audiobooks and digital movies. How the Payment Classification Works By categorizing memecoin purchases as digital goods rather than cash advances or financial product purchases, these transactions are treated like…

Bitcoin ($BTC) built on gains at Tuesday’s Wall Street open as crypto echoed resilient US stock markets. Key points: $BTC price action approached $67,000 despite new geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. Neither the US-Iran war nor proposed international trade tariffs were able to disrupt risk-asset upside. Bitcoin needed a reclaim of its 21-week simple moving average to challenge the bear market, analysis warned. Bitcoin, stocks ignore Iran war, fresh US tariffs Data from TradingView showed $BTC/USD approaching $67,000, closing in on seven-week highs. $BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Upward momentum that began the day showed little signs of stopping despite macro…

No, your $ETH are not in danger today, and you do not need to move anything. On September 7, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation announced that Ethereum L1 should become quantum-resistant by December 2029. That is a deadline for developers rather than a warning to holders. What counts for you is a different fact, one that appears in none of the reports on this decision: every Ethereum account that has ever sent a transaction disclosed its public key in doing so. That is exactly what the risk hangs on, and exactly where Ethereum differs from Bitcoin. This piece sets out what…

Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street investment bank, has increased its price target on Coinbase Global Inc. to $212 from $184, while maintaining an overweight rating on the cryptocurrency exchange. The adjustment reflects a broader recovery in the digital asset market, with Bitcoin recently climbing to $80,000, according to a research note from the bank. Why the Price Target Matters The revised price target signals growing institutional confidence in Coinbase as a regulated gateway to the crypto market. Cantor Fitzgerald highlighted that Coinbase, which operates in compliance with U.S. regulations, is a key investment vehicle for institutional investors seeking exposure to…
