The UAE is bringing Avalanche blockchain technology into its national digital identity system, giving blockchain a major government use case. The integration will support the Digital Vault inside UAE PASS, which serves more than 12.5 million people. Following this announcement, Avalanche native token $AVAX jumped over 3%. Avalanche Joins UAE PASS Digital Vault The UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has partnered with consultancy firm Deca4 and Ava Labs to add Avalanche technology to UAE PASS.

Bitcoin options desks picked up a telling signal this week — a surge in call spread activity that pins a $72,000 price target to the final days of July, coinciding with the Federal Reserve’s next policy announcement. Data from the options market, as reported in the original CoinDesk report, shows large traders paying a premium for a structure that profits if $BTC rallies toward $72,000 but caps gains above that level. The timing is not accidental. How the $72,000 Call Spread Works A call spread involves buying a call option at one strike price and selling another at a higher…

As of September 15, 2026, the Ethereum price today sits at $2,481.95, with a daily chart that looks constructive on paper but is quietly losing steam. Higher and lower timeframes now tell conflicting stories, and which one prevails over the next sessions defines the trade. $ETH/USDT — daily chart with candlesticks, EMA20/EMA50 and volume. Key takeaways Ethereum trades at $2,481.95 with the daily EMA stack still bullish (20 > 50 > 200) Hourly and 15-minute charts show bearish momentum with RSI approaching oversold levels Total crypto market cap is down 2.27% to $2.65 trillion; Bitcoin dominance at 58.36% Daily ATR…

As such, markets took it as a sign of an official bid to cap long-term borrowing costs – one that may eventually see the Fed step in and buy as many bonds as required to hold yields down, a form of yield-curve control. Hard assets that benefit from financial repression and a deluge of fiat liquidity quickly rallied. Bitcoin and gold surged, with bitcoin rising from $64,000 to $80,000 in a week. Treasury’s program is not QE, meaning it does not add fresh liquidity to markets, and the size is small compared with the $40 trillion federal debt. So unless…

While the broader crypto market remains shaky, August is shaping up to be one of the busiest months of the year. Several blockchain upgrades, ETF developments, and product launches are scheduled over the coming weeks. According to one analyst, these events could put a handful of altcoins in focus before the next major market move. Solana Heads Into Major Network Upgrade Solana tops the list as the lowest-risk pick for August. The network will begin rolling out the Agave 4.2 client from the week of August 17, bringing faster block times, a 90% reduction in rent costs, larger transaction sizes,…

$BNB Chain has continued to hit major milestones following its growing user engagement across the DeFi ecosystem, flipping other major blockchain networks in key metrics. As onchain activity on $BNB Chain continues to grow, the network has suddenly flipped Solana in DeFi TVL, sparking reactions from the crypto community, especially Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao. $BNB Chain flips Solana in DeFi TVL Notably, recent onchain data shows that $BNB Chain has recorded a massive $5.94 billion in DeFi TVL as of September 14. While this positions $BNB Chain as the second largest blockchain by DeFi TVL, it has narrowly surpassed Solana,…

Bitcoin signatures rely on elliptic curve cryptography, a system in which a private key generates a public key through math that runs only one way. Anyone can check the public key, but nobody can work backward to the private one. However, Shor’s algorithm, a quantum method published in 1994 for problems that ordinary computers cannot crack, can be fed a public key and return the private key that generated it. Hashing is a different kind of problem. A hash scrambles an input into a fixed-length fingerprint and cannot be run backward, and the best quantum attack on it, called Grover’s…

The Ethereum price is consolidating around the $2500 mark, with buyers struggling to push the token decisively above the $2600 area despite renewed institutional demand and resilient on-chain activity. The price action leaves the market at a critical point where a sustained break above resistance could open the door to a stronger recovery, while another rejection could open the door to a stronger recovery, while another rejection could keep the $ETH price within a range-bound consolidation or initiate a deeper pullback. Ethereum Price Today: Why $2500 Matters Ethereum is trading near $2500 after falling to sustain its latest move toward…

Ethereum has pulled far ahead in the euro-denominated stablecoin race, and the numbers make the gap hard to ignore. According to data highlighted by the analytics account @tokenterminal, Ethereum now hosts $579.6 million worth of the Ethereum euro stablecoin supply, dwarfing rivals Solana and Base and reaffirming its position as the default settlement layer for euro-pegged digital dollars. Key takeaways Ethereum holds $579.6 million in euro stablecoin supply, the largest share among tracked blockchains. Solana ranks second with $125.2 million in euro stablecoins, well behind Ethereum but ahead of the next contender. Base holds $60.9 million, rounding out the top…

Analyst Jake Claver argues DeFi is standing at a fork in the road, and the path it takes will determine whether institutional capital ever shows up at scale. His answer centers heavily on one network: the $XRP Ledger. He said DeFi doesn’t need to be destroyed by regulation, but it can’t scale without someone accountable standing behind it. “DeFi cannot scale if there is no responsible party involved,” he said, framing liquidity pools as real financial products carrying smart contract risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk, not just lines of code. That responsibility, he argues, can’t rest with a DAO,…
