If you hold Wrapped TON on Ethereum or on $BNB Smart Chain, you have until September 1, 2026 to bring those tokens back into the TON network over the official bridge. After that the bridge is shut down, and any balance still sitting in wrapped form can no longer be unwound by this route. The mirror image applies to the so-called j-tokens on TON, meaning jUSDT, jUSDC, jDAI and jWBTC: those holdings have to go back to Ethereum beforehand. The date has been fixed since May 23, 2026. It is therefore not a surprise event but a long-announced deadline now…

No thread, no chart, no elaboration, just the kind of one-line framing Saylor has used for years to position his company as more than a corporate bitcoin buyer. Image source: X JPMorgan spent much of early July warning that Strategy’s revamped bitcoin sales policy introduces what the bank called two-way risk to crypto markets, meaning one of bitcoin’s largest and most reliable buyers could, for the first time in years, also become a seller with…

Due to $ETH’s abrupt breakout, which resulted in nearly $3 billion in cryptocurrency liquidations and heavily penalized short positions, one of Ethereum’s most prosperous high-leverage traders experienced a severe reversal. History doesn’t guarantee the future During the trade, the trader known as pension-usdt.eth reportedly lost about $49 million, ending an incredible 23-trade winning streak. The account’s reputation was largely established through its successful shorting of Ethereum, so the most recent loss was especially noteworthy: when $ETH suddenly moved against it, the same strategy that had produced frequent wins became very costly. $ETH/USDT Chart by TradingView Over 172,000 traders were impacted…
