Ethereum ETF inflows support demand The recent rally was fueled by massive inflows into US spot Ethereum ETFs. US spot Ether ETFs recorded six consecutive days of net inflows totaling $834 million. Sustained inflows can indicate demand for exposure to $ETH, although they do not establish where its price will move next. However, there are two on-chain measures that have preceded earlier Ethereum rallies: trading-volume averages and the 365-day market-value-to-realized-value, or MVRV, ratio. Ethereum’s seven-day and 30-day moving averages for trading volume have touched for the first time since November 2025, according to the analysis. This shows that bullish crossovers…

The deal gives S&P direct exposure to the security layer behind stablecoins, tokenized funds, and decentralized-finance applications. OpenZeppelin’s open-source contracts have supported more than $37 trillion in transferred value, while the company has completed more than 900 security engagements and identified over 10,000 vulnerabilities before production. The acquisition follows a broader push by S&P into digital assets as round-the-clock markets create demand for the data, benchmarks and risk infrastructure needed to support institutional capital on blockchain networks. S&P adds smart-contract risk to its institutional toolkit As more financial products move onto blockchains, institutions face an additional layer of risk around…

However, it may not mean that the new vesting transaction was made in anticipation of the legislation. The wallets entered the contract months before the Clarity Act’s latest language emerged, while World Liberty published the mechanism’s terms weeks before the wallets entered the new vesting schedule. On May 19, the six wallets moved 30 billion $WLFI into the vesting contract. The rules required that 10% of the tokens be destroyed upon entering the new schedule. The news of the new vesting contract was reported on Sunday by The Washington Sun. Additionally, the proposal that created the schedule was passed on…

As a result, the same cryptocurrency can be treated differently depending on the country. Malaysia Has a Formal Sharia Framework Malaysia is one of the few countries with a formal system for deciding whether digital assets comply with Sharia. Fitch said Malaysia’s Securities Commission Shariah Advisory Council approved several cryptocurrencies as Sharia-compliant between 2020 and the first half of 2026, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Stellar. As at the end of the first half of 2026, 10 crypto businesses, including exchanges and custodians, were regulated by the Securities Commission. Regulated exchanges handled more than $4 billion in trading in 2025,…

Source: X Simply put, it would seem that RedotPay’s efforts to develop a larger U.S. footprint remain a work in progress. RedotPay faces fragmented U.S lending market It’s not going to be easy to expand that regulatory footprint though. This, due to the large differences in lending regulations that exist throughout each state in the United States. In fact, each approval request has separate capital, bonding, compliance, and examination requirements. This makes nationwide expansion slower and more expensive. Larger markets such as California and New York may take six months or longer, potentially delaying RedotPay’s broader rollout. However, the product…

At the same time, THORChain’s fees rose to $479,033.13 from $145,464.59. However, the news is not as good as it appears to be. As the surge in on-chain activity happened after the recent Bitget security incident, wherein the stolen funds were reportedly laundered via THORChain to swap and transfer assets between blockchains. Slamming the exchange, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen argued, Our attacker addresses are publicly listed and actively tracked. We are formally asking @THORChain to refuse service to these addresses. Decentralization is a design principle, not a shield for facilitating known stolen funds. The industry is watching. THORChain makes its…

That arrangement can unlock a loan without selling the Bitcoin, but it changes what the holder depends on. The borrower now relies on the custodian holding the $BTC, the rules for getting it back, the token maintaining its value, and the lending application managing the loan. Coinbase, Circle and WBTC offer competing versions of that arrangement. Circle’s Sept. 4 explanation of its cirBTC product sets out its approach to a market already served by Coinbase’s cbBTC and the established WBTC token. Each offers a version of the same proposition: $BTC held in custody, with a transferable token issued against it.…

Ethereum stays above its 20-day moving average $ETH remained above all four moving averages shown on its daily chart despite Monday’s decline. The 20-day simple moving average stood near $2,586.78, while the 50-day average was at $2,403.66. The 100-day and 200-day averages were near $2,103.59 and $2,104.79. Ethereum price daily chart — Sep. 28 | Source: TradingView The daily chart therefore placed the nearest moving average roughly $74 below $ETH’s price at the time of capture. Before reaching it, sellers would have to push through Monday’s $2,635 low. A recovery above the day’s $2,703 high would instead put the recent…

However, the WSJ is reportedly planning to pin the failure on Armstrong. In response, Armstrong stated, In January, I opposed a draft of the bill going into a committee vote because it needed a lot of work on DeFi, tokenization, CFTC authority, and stablecoin rewards. At the time, the bill had major issues that would have harmed crypto. At the time, even the White House scolded his opposition and warned that he’s not the crypto industry. However, he insisted that he’s “proud” of his opposition because it led to a “better bill.” On the revised version, which had a stablecoin…
