Bitcoin ($BTC) could be on track to establish a major cycle bottom near $50,000 within the next two months, according to a trading analysis. The analysis, shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on August 5, was based on the Coin Value Days Destroyed (CVDD) indicator, one of the most reliable signals for identifying long-term market lows. The outlook comes as Bitcoin remains in the final stages of its current bear cycle following a sharp decline in June. Since then, $BTC has been consolidating around the shifted CVDD level, a pattern that has historically preceded the final downward leg before…

Crypto Treasury Firms Chase AI Gains as Investor Enthusiasm Fades The collapse of the crypto treasury trade is pushing struggling public companies toward the market’s newest source of investor enthusiasm: artificial intelligence. According to a new Bloomberg report, at least a dozen digital-asset treasury (DAT) firms have shifted into AI-related ventures in recent months as token prices and their own valuations declined. Early results have been bleak. K Wave Media, once focused on accumulating bitcoin, has fallen 71% since turning toward data center development in May. Lixte Biotechnology has lost 33% since agreeing to merge with a battery company in…

Bitcoin ($BTC) remains significantly below its long-term valuation trend, according to the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart, which places the cryptocurrency beneath even its lowest projected valuation band for August 31. The indicator, tracked by CoinGlass, shows the chart’s ‘Fire Sale’ band rising to $105,087 by month-end, while Bitcoin is currently trading at $64,092. The gap highlights how far $BTC remains below the levels implied by the model’s historical logarithmic growth curve. Notably, Bitcoin would need to rally about 64% in less than a month to reach the ‘Fire Sale’ threshold. As a result, the chart should not be interpreted as predicting…

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has launched a framework to assess banks’ preparedness for quantum-computing threats as the city expands its use of tokenized deposits, digital assets and blockchain settlement. On Monday, the HKMA introduced a white paper on quantum preparedness and the sector’s first Quantum Preparedness Index (QPI). The index gave the sector an overall readiness score of 2.3 out of 10, while the white paper found that around half of surveyed institutions had no formal post-quantum planning in place. The HKMA said it aims to achieve full sector readiness, represented by a QPI score of 10, by…

L2Beat, an analytics platform that tracks Ethereum layer-2 networks, announced that it has excluded approximately $7 billion worth of non-circulating tokens held in multi-signature wallets controlled by the $RAIN team from Arbitrum’s Total Guaranteed Value (TVS) calculation. Despite the adjustment, the value of $RAIN tokens within TVS on Arbitrum remains at approximately $2.6 billion. This figure makes $RAIN the largest asset on Arbitrum, surpassing USDC and Ethereum (ETH). L2Beat researchers described the resulting picture as “clearly illogical,” arguing that they believe the $RAIN token has been “heavily manipulated.” The platform noted that a more comprehensive investigation into the token’s valuation…

The United States and the United Kingdom have issued 10 recommendations for stablecoins, tokenized securities, and cross-border finance, although the proposals have not created enforceable rules. The Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future published the recommendations on July 14, setting priorities for cooperation between two of the world’s largest financial centers without replacing either country’s regulatory process. Established in September 2025 by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the task force brought together officials from the Treasury departments, the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Bank of England,…

An Indian CoinDCX user says a ₹27,500 Web3 swap ended with just 0.007 BSTOCKS after the transaction was completed on-chain. The user claims the CoinDCX interface displayed a much larger token quote before the trade was confirmed, resulting in a discrepancy between what appeared on the screen and what ultimately reached the wallet. The transaction has now raised a question about Web3 trading: when an exchange-style interface routes a user’s funds through fragmented on-chain liquidity, how clearly does it show the risks and the minimum amount the user will actually receive? What Happened to the ₹27,500 Swap? The user, identified…

The stablecoin market contracted in June 2026 even as transaction activity reached a record. CoinDesk Data reported on July 6 that market capitalization fell 2.39%, or about $7.7 billion, to $312 billion. It was the first month-end decline in five months and the largest monthly dollar reduction since the Terra-Luna collapse in May 2022. The supply decline did not produce a matching fall in on-chain activity. Visa’s Allium-powered dashboard recorded $1.79 trillion in adjusted transaction volume for June, up 63% from May and 125% from June 2025. $USDC accounted for about $1.21 trillion, compared with roughly $576 billion for $USDT.…
