Ethereum’s recovery has happened while Binance futures activity continues to dwarf spot trading. On June 27, $ETH traded near $1,560, while the spot to futures volume ratio stood at 6.5%. Futures Still Tower Over Binance Spot Volume By October 1, $ETH had climbed to roughly $2,700, representing a gain of about 73% from late June. Yet the spot to futures ratio had only edged up to 8%. Put differently, spot volume was still just 8% of futures volume on Binance. Ethereum added more than $1,100 while spot trading remained below one-tenth of futures activity. That divergence is hard to ignore,…

A second tracker demonstrates the same steep increase, but with a smaller number of holders. According to RWA.xyz, 3.89 million holders were recorded by September 25, which means an increase of 70.9% compared with the previous month. Why the holder number is not a headcount Those numbers need some context. Holder counts refer to blockchain addresses, not verified individuals, which means that someone using several wallets can be counted more than once. The use of incentive programs can lead to even higher numbers. The situation was evident already in August. Cryptopolitan pointed out that the record spike coincided with Binance’s…

The committee — Entropy Advisors, MinistroDolar, the Arbitrum Foundation and OpCo, per the proposal — deemed all three cases “high-severity,” defined in the original program proposal as large-scale, deliberate misuse including fabricated deliverables and theft. As of Sept. 2, the Watchdog Program had received 90 reports, recovered about 532,000 $ARB for the DAO and distributed roughly 268,000 $ARB in reporter bounties, according to the proposal. Ineligible Users And Self-Farming Good Entry was allocated 200,000 $ARB in the first round of the Short-Term Incentive Program, which was an up-to-50-million-$ARB push that the DAO approved in late 2023 to incentivize DeFi activity…

The asset indeed dipped in the following days as it felt almost inevitable after such a gigantic jump, but went on the offensive once again in the following week or so. It rocketed past $82,000 on Friday before it was rejected following the US jobs report, and now sits below $80,000. The report described the major profit-taking as a classic characteristic of a bullish cooldown, but warned that if they continue at such a rapid pace, the asset’s price could be primed for another correction. Historical occurrences have shown that $BTC tends to dump hard after a major rally if…

Market Pulse Currently, the Ethereum market remains stable, although specific volume figures are not available. The transfer itself is significant, as it represents a strategic move within the DeFi landscape, where Aave continues to gain traction. The influx of $ETH could enhance liquidity on the platform, attracting more users and potentially leading to increased transactions in the coming days. As traders watch these developments, it becomes essential to assess how such activities impact Ethereum’s price and overall market sentiment. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that facilitates smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). The jurisdiction of exchanges like Bitfinex and DeFi…

Upon completion, North Capital will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Moonpay. The move reflects a growing push by digital asset companies to acquire established, regulated market infrastructure as mainstream finance increasingly explores the tokenization of real-world assets. North Capital operates several entities registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including broker-dealers, an alternative trading system (PPEX ATS), a transfer agent, and an investment advisor. “All financial markets are becoming more technology-driven, but the infrastructure supporting them is still fragmented across different tech stacks, providers, and workflows,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and founder of MoonPay. “At MoonPay, we’re…

Price Action Breakdown Currently, $TRX is priced at $0, with no recorded trading volume over the past 24 hours. This lack of trading activity indicates a period of consolidation, as the market awaits further developments. The absence of significant price movement suggests that traders are closely monitoring sentiment shifts and potential catalysts that could influence $TRX’s future performance. $TRX is a cryptocurrency that enables fast and cost-effective transactions on its blockchain. Pendle, a decentralized finance protocol, focuses on tokenizing future yield from digital assets. The collaboration aims to leverage $TRX’s strong community and utility within the DeFi space, positioning Pendle…

Ethereum price needs to clear $2,800 for a $3,000 move $ETH has already completed much of the recovery setup that developed through August and September. Historical price data show Ethereum ended August near $2,467 after gaining roughly 32.6% during the month. September produced another gain of approximately 8.8%, with $ETH finishing around $2,685. Price action accelerated in the second half of September. $ETH moved from roughly $2,398 on Sept. 15 to $2,775 by Sept. 21 before settling back into the $2,650–$2,700 region. The move pushed Ethereum above its earlier $2,400–$2,550 consolidation range but stopped short of establishing support above $2,800.…

“Enjoy these low rates while you can as they won’t last long. Soaring government spending, debt, inflation and de-dollarization will drive rates much higher. Got gold?” Ackman and Armstrong: Is the Fed Feeding the Fire? Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman went after the Federal Reserve directly and in a post argued that demand for compute and energy in the race for “super intelligence” may not respond to higher rates. If so, interest costs get embedded in everything, and hikes could stoke inflation instead of cooling it. He further noted: I think the Fed might have just made a mistake. Am…
