As the post below mentions, analysts are now expecting a bigger altcoin move to happen based on the historical technical setup. Notably, the index has already broken out sharply above 50, recording six consecutive weeks of higher highs, while Bitcoin is still struggling to break above $90k. Should this structure hold, it could very well be the sign of the next strong altcoin rotation. Source: X Naturally, this places emphasis on Ethereum [$ETH] as the largest altcoin. Interestingly, $ETH/$BTC started October by encountering resistance around 0.03, decreasing over 2.33% from its early-September peak of 0.033. Unless $ETH/$BTC can break above…

Chainalysis also reported an increase in the percentage of stablecoins as part of the total crypto value moved in the region, representing 32.1% of the cross-border value moved and 22.1% of the within-country P2P exchanges. While LATAM led the adoption of self-custody wallets, the region has outpaced the rest of the world in adopting centralized providers, likely due to clearer regulation and the need for secondary services offered by these operators. Only 28.8% of the funds held in the region are concentrated in self-custody wallets, compared to over 50% registered before 2022. Gabriel Campa, head of digital assets at Towerbank,…

From Big Transfers to Small, Frequent Ones For much of Bitcoin’s history, network activity skewed toward sizable transfers — the kind associated with exchanges moving reserves, institutions settling large positions, or early holders shuffling significant sums. That pattern has clearly weakened. The current data reflects a network increasingly populated by smaller, more frequent transactions, a structural change rather than a short-term blip. Why the Shift Is Happening Now This transition in cryptocurrency transaction trends lines up with a network that has become more accessible for day-to-day use. As Bitcoin’s infrastructure matures, smaller transfers become easier to execute and more practical…

The notice supplies no revision amounts or $ETH strategy comparison. The immediate consequence is a need to identify data vintage, meaning the version of the data used in the test; any effect on returns still requires measurement. Why the same historical date can tell a different story Coin Metrics’ flow methodology makes the distinction concrete. Standard metrics use all addresses currently known to belong to an exchange or other tracked entity, with each address’s history starting at its first nonzero balance. Past values can be restated when additional entity addresses are identified. Its Point-in-Time, or PIT, series instead uses addresses…

Interest over time in investing in AI and buying bitcoin. Source: Google Trends Searches for buying Bitcoin have started trending up again since March. On the AI side, searches for investing in AI peaked around December 2025 and have been trending down since then. Also, at least in terms of Google searches, people are still more interested in investing in AI than buying ethereum, solana, $XRP, zcash or other crypto assets.

$XRP could potentially capture a disproportionate share of that growth because of characteristics such as transaction speed and greater functionality compared to Bitcoin. The $XRP Ledger was designed from the outset as a faster and more scalable alternative to Bitcoin for payments. It’s all about perspective Earlier this year, Schwartz recalled that even a rally to $0.25 seemed implausible to him when $XRP was trading at roughly $0.006. Schwartz said that he sold some $XRP around $0.10 because the valuation already seemed extraordinarily high at the time. He made a similar comparison with Bitcoin, recalling that $100 $BTC once seemed…

Bitcoin Price Action (Source: TradingView) That weekly breakout is being tested in real time on the shorter timeframe. $BTC ran from around $63,000 on August 18 to a high of $82,283 in an ascending channel, but the Parabolic SAR on the 2-hour chart flipped to $80,182.71 after Friday’s reversal, meaning price needs to reclaim that level to confirm the short-term trend is still up rather than rolling over inside the same channel that’s produced six sell signals since mid-August. $BTC Support and Resistance Levels, September 6, 2026 $BTC News: Hot Jobs Report Reverses Rate-Cut Bets Nonfarm payrolls surged 162,000 in…

The plan resembles a founder-control structure used by Palantir, The Information reported. Its minimum shareholding condition would allow the arrangement to continue while at least three founders keep the required stakes; the report did not specify the threshold each would need to meet. Shareholder approval is still required for Anthropic’s proposal. Board elections would work differently from most shareholder votes. Under the reported plan, Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust would retain the power to choose a majority of directors, while the number of seats elected by founders would rise from two to three. The board has seven seats, one of which…

Evernorth recently moved another step closer to completing the deal after the U.S. SEC cleared its registration statement. However, shareholder approval and other closing conditions remain outstanding. If approved, the merger is expected to close in late Q3 or early Q4, followed by Evernorth’s Nasdaq debut. Evernorth’s $XRP Holdings Evernorth initially accumulated 388 million $XRP, with CryptoQuant reporting the holdings. A significant portion of those tokens came through transfers from contributors including Ripple and its chairman, Chris Larsen. The company later expanded its position to 473 million $XRP, using part of the $1 billion it raised from prominent investors, including…

Bitcoin’s daily candle showed the asset trading near $79,613 after touching a session high of $79,763. The price remained below horizontal resistance at approximately $82,504, a level that also sits close to the May swing high. The rejection interrupted a sharp recovery from the August range near $62,500. Bitcoin gained roughly 30% during that advance and broke above several previous lower highs, but the $82,000–$82,800 region has stopped two recent attempts to extend the rally. Strong US jobs data triggered the pullback The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 162,000 in August, well above…
