EIA attributes the recent diesel surge to tight global distillate supply and elevated crude prices. Diesel powers freight movement, and the agency says high prices can contribute to higher road and rail shipping costs. Whether companies pass those costs to customers, and how quickly, depends on contracts, competition and the duration of the fuel squeeze. A sustained rise across freight billing cycles would pose a larger inflation risk than one expensive week at the pump. Earlier producer data show why the channel is worth watching. BLS reported that diesel fuel producer prices jumped 24.1% in August from July, while its…

The cited amounts add up to 457,553 $ARB, worth about $76,000 at the valuation used in the proposal’s coverage. However, the total does not represent one confirmed theft or a single balance owed to ArbitrumDAO. It combines separate findings involving distributions to ineligible accounts, funds moved away from Arbitrum, and grant tokens that were allegedly left unused or distributed late. Good Entry received 200,000 $ARB through the first round of Arbitrum’s Short-Term Incentives Program. On-chain analysis reviewed by the committee found that 142,839 $ARB went to 1,032 users deemed ineligible during and after the incentive period. Wallets connected to the…

The 90-day moving average of spent outputs from the cohort has reached about 1,500 $BTC, twice the level recorded in May, according to Darkfost. A moving average smooths daily changes, making it less sensitive to isolated transfers from a few large wallets. At 1,500 $BTC, the current average is also about 56% above the 962 $BTC reported on June 24. At the time, the reading had fallen below 1,000 $BTC for the first time since November 2024, indicating that activity from older holders had slowed to its lowest point in nearly two years. As previously reported by crypto.news, earlier peaks…

Market Snapshot Currently, Ethereum’s trading volume is absent, and the market conditions remain mixed. However, the announcement of JPMorgan’s significant investment in Ethereum tokenized funds could signal a positive shift for Ethereum’s future market dynamics.

JPMorgan’s actions highlight the bank’s strategy to embrace blockchain technology and adapt to the changing landscape of finance, driving interest from other financial institutions. The Road Ahead Traders are closely…

None of this lifted the token price. And that contradiction is the story worth unpacking, because it reveals something about $XRP that the community has been reluctant to confront: the network’s success and the token’s performance may no longer be the same story. The stablecoin that ate the narrative $RLUSD launched in late 2025 as a compliance-first stablecoin designed to slot into existing banking infrastructure. Ripple positioned it as the settlement layer for cross-border payments, the exact use case that $XRP was supposed to own. The company argued the two assets were complementary. Seven months of market data suggest otherwise.…

Myriad: Bitcoin’s next price move? Click to make your prediction. The largest, holding 146.06 $BTC, or about $11.31 million, had sat untouched since November 2013, nearly 12.8 years, and delivered a gain of about 12,902% on a cost basis near $595. A 40 $BTC wallet dormant since November 2011 followed, worth around $3.09 million and up a staggering 2,571,899% from an average cost of roughly $3. That means this patient hodler managed to turn roughly $120 in $BTC into more than $3 million—by sitting on it for close to 15 years. Two smaller wallets rounded out the batch: 10 $BTC…

“After more than six incredible years as the company’s co-founder and CEO, Jacob is transitioning out of Zora and onto his next chapter,” Goens wrote. “I will be stepping into the CEO role as we continue building and stewarding Zora.” Fewer Than 10 People Goens said Zora reduced headcount earlier this year and is “now smaller than we were at the start of the year, less than 10 people.” He did not give a prior figure or say how many people left. “As a result, we’ve gotten more AI native with agents running throughout Slack, writing code, and resolving incidents,”…

Holding $79,500 and pushing through $80,000 puts $81,000-$81,500 in the cards. On the flip side, a 1-hour close below $79,200 exposes $78,700, while a break of $79,500 brings the $78,700-$78,500 pocket into focus. Bitcoin’s 4-Hour Momentum Is Running Out of Steam The 4-hour chart makes bitcoin’s price momentum reset hard to miss. The rally from the high $77,000s into $82,000 territory kicks into high gear before a high-volume rejection puts the brakes on buyers and sends $BTC grinding toward $79,500-$80,000. The 4-hour relative strength index (RSI) moves above 70 around the high and cools into the low 50s on some…

Copper Futures Hit $6.95 Record Copper futures set a fresh all-time high of $6.95 per pound on September 22, capping a year in which the industrial metal and gold have moved in strikingly opposite directions. The record has reopened a debate that reaches well beyond commodities desks: can copper begin closing the gap with gold as a store of value? Unlike a monetary asset, copper is priced by industrial consumption — wiring, power grids and electronics — which makes a record high during a flat year for bullion genuinely unusual. The six-month copper chart puts the metal up roughly 20%…
