As per a Lookonchain report, one whale rotated considerable Bitcoin exposure into Ethereum during the recent accumulation wave.

Global markets are focused on Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s speech today in Jackson Hole. While FED officials have given conflicting messages regarding the trajectory of inflation and interest rates, investors are eagerly awaiting Warsh’s message on the direction of monetary policy and inflation. This is because Federal Reserve officials have differing assessments of the future of inflation in the US. Some officials argue that higher interest rates are needed to control price pressures, while others see no urgency for tightening monetary policy. This divergence increases uncertainty regarding the Fed’s future interest rate policy. When Will He Speak? Warsh is…

Solana has kicked off August by proving why it’s one of the most efficient L1. On the fundamentals side, two major network upgrades are gaining momentum. The first is the deflationary upgrade, which has officially entered its final voting stage. Meanwhile, SIMD-0525 is now live on testnet, cutting slot time from 400 ms to 350 ms as the first step toward a 200 ms slot time. Together, these developments point to a faster network, reinforcing Solana’s scalability thesis heading into Q4. The key takeaway? The impact is already showing up on-chain. As the chart below highlights, Solana’s weekly transaction count…

Diesel is rising mainly because of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing U.S.–Israeli conflict with Iran, which has disrupted crude flows and raised risk premiums on refined products. Tight refinery capacity and strong demand from both freight and industrial users have amplified the move, turning a regional supply shock into a global price spike. The Fed’s Wednesday rate hike is evidence of how policymakers are biased toward using rate increases to tackle inflation stemming from oil‑supply shocks, a mistake, as per some observers. Record diesel prices therefore present a headwind for gold, bitcoin and technology stocks. Like…

Michael Saylor rattled the community cages on X once again with a cryptic post containing a graph showcasing his company’s countless $BTC purchases completed over the past six years, with the text “What’s next?” Although many translated this message as a new hint that Strategy has made a new bitcoin purchase, the reality from the past several weeks tells a different story. What’s next? pic.twitter.com/bNl0xX0obw — Michael Saylor (@saylor) July 19, 2026 Buy or Sell Next? The firm’s co-founder and former CEO has been publishing such posts for years. We didn’t pay much attention to them before, as they were…

Liquidity aggregator 0x said on Sept. 14 that it had seen an alarming increase in malicious Uniswap v4 hooks over recent weeks, designed to quote one price and settle at another. In the most extreme trades it observed, users received as much as 50% less at execution than the amount displayed in the quote. An aggregator searches many pools, estimates their output, and typically favors the route promising the most tokens. A malicious pool can win the order by looking unusually attractive during that comparison. Uniswap v4 hooks show when the best quote becomes the attack surface In its analysis…

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has begun his highly anticipated address in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In his first address as Fed Chairman, Warsh addressed inflation as a key issue. He spoke in a hawkish tone, stating that price stability should be the Fed’s priority. Warsh noted that while summer inflation data showed improvement, underlying trends had not changed significantly. Here are the highlights of Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium: “I’m struggling to define the financial conditions as restrictive.” We need to make sure that the downward trend in inflation is moving towards the target, otherwise we’ll have work…
