Bitcoin [$BTC] closed the trading day at $62.8K, marking the month’s close. It recorded gains of 7.2% in July, but the higher-timeframe price structure remained bearish. The $64K-$65K area was established as a support zone in March and April. However, it now seems to have been flipped to resistance.

In a post on X, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. wrote that the current price is still close to 39% above the historical median trajectory. Measured from the cycle’s peak, and comparing with…

Tokenized equities are gaining traction as investors increasingly trade stocks outside the limits of traditional market hours. Against this backdrop, trading volume increased from $1 billion in January to $3.6 billion in May before later reaching $9 billion in July. This acceleration correlates with the growing number of trades occurring outside of traditional market hours. Off-hours account for 55% of Jupiter’s total volume of trades using its tokenized equity product. This trend may help explain why so many investors prefer to use on-chain markets to maintain their stock holdings after the close of a traditional exchange. Source: X Jupiter’s routed…

The current decline in $XRP has clearly exposed the most common misconception lately — exchange-traded funds (ETFs) do not control the token’s price; they merely confirm its status. The real price moves are still generated in the spot market. While inflow data continues to set records — in just 24 hours, from Aug. 24 to Aug. 25, daily net inflows into spot $XRP ETFs jumped 72%, rising from $13.88 million to $23.87 million, while the funds’ total assets under management reached an all-time high of $1.46 billion — the actual price on exchanges is moving in the opposite direction.

FalconX and Ethena have set up a $1 billion secured lending facility that will put assets backing Ethena’s $USDe to work in institutional credit, expanding the synthetic dollar protocol beyond crypto-native trades. The facility will finance overcollateralized loans originated by digital-asset prime broker FalconX for uses including trading strategies, corporate treasury management and payments, according to an emailed announcement on Wednesday. The arrangement offers a potentially steadier source of returns for Ethena than perpetual-futures funding rates, a key component of the basis trades underpinning $USDe. Those rates can compress or turn negative when demand for leveraged crypto exposure fades, reducing…

Interest on cryptocurrencies sounds like the best of both worlds: you keep your holdings and still earn a running return. That is how platforms advertise their lending products, at rates well above an instant-access savings account. The claim is only half true. What you keep, as a rule, is not your coin but a claim to get it back. What that claim is worth depends on who sits on the other side and which law applies when things go wrong. In the European Union the answer to the second question is thinner than most people expect: the regulation that has…
