SharpLink Gaming’s Ethereum portfolio has ballooned in value after the cryptocurrency climbed nearly 4.5% over the past day, pushing the company’s unrealized profits close to the $1Bn mark In a statement on Tuesday, SharpLink said its gains from Ether purchases have topped $900M since the firm began accumulating the asset on June 2. Data from the Strategic ETH Reserve shows SharpLink holds 838,730 ETH, valued at roughly $3.93Bn at current prices.

Wall Street’s biggest exchange owner is betting $2Bn that prediction markets are going mainstream. Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announced on Tuesday that it will invest up to $2Bn in crypto prediction platform Polymarket. The deal makes ICE a global distributor of Polymarket’s event-driven data and opens the door for future tokenization projects between the two firms. The investment values Polymarket at about $8Bn before the deal and $9Bn after, according to company statements. ICE shares rose in pre-market trading following the announcement.

Bitcoin price struggled to surpass $126,200 and corrected gains. BTC is now consolidating near $122,000 and might aim for a recovery wave. Bitcoin started a downside correction below the $125,000 level. The price is trading below $124,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $123,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

The GBP/USD currency pair continued to trade lower on Tuesday, and we continue to view this movement as entirely illogical. In the EUR/USD article, we suggested that the euro pair is in a flat range on the daily timeframe. With GBP/USD, there's really no need to guess — the flat is plain to see. Given the traditionally high correlation between the euro and pound, there's every reason to assume that both currencies are trading sideways. If true, then the current decline in the pound is purely technical and has nothing to do with macroeconomic or fundamental factors. Even on the 4-hour chart, it's clear that the price has been bouncing around in every direction over the pas…

On Tuesday, the EUR/USD currency pair continued trading lower. But why? Why is the U.S. dollar continuing to strengthen when all key factors seem to indicate it should be falling? The macroeconomic and fundamental background is virtually nonexistent, yet for once, the dollar is clearly in demand among traders. To understand what's going on, we need to look back at last week when the U.S. government shutdown began. The ADP employment report missed expectations by a wide margin, and the ISM business activity indices came in weak, showing figures nobody wanted to see. Yet even amid all this, the dollar remained resilient and even advanced on some days. This week, with no maj…

GBP/USD 5-Minute Chart Analysis On Tuesday, the GBP/USD currency pair remained under pressure, despite the fact that the political crisis in France has no direct connection to the UK. In recent days, the British pound has been clearly trading within a classic flat range, observable on both the hourly and daily timeframes. So, these abrupt upward and downward moves are not surprising. Ideally, we prefer to see the dollar decline and the pound rise, as most fundamental and macroeconomic indicators still support this scenario. However, over the past several months, the market has consistently demonstrated an unwillingness to sell the dollar aggressively. It's also possib…

EUR/USD 5-Minute Chart Analysis The EUR/USD currency pair remained under downward pressure throughout Tuesday. For the second consecutive day, the pair gravitated toward the downside. The political crisis in France remains the only noteworthy event so far this trading week, and we've already discussed that in earlier reviews. However, we do not believe this political development is significant or impactful enough to justify two days of sustained euro declines. In our view, the U.S. government shutdown carries far more weight in the eyes of traders. To be fair, the pair hasn't fallen too far — for two consecutive days, the 1.1657–1.1666 zone has halted the decline. The…

Intercontinental Exchange, the same company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, is betting big on the future of prediction markets. ICE is investing up to $2 billion into Polymarket, a blockchain-powered platform that lets users bet on real-world events. That puts Polymarket’s valuation around $8 billion before any of this money even hits the table. From Wall Street to What’s Going to Happen Next Polymarket isn’t your typical trading platform. Instead of buying stocks or crypto, users wager on things like election outcomes, celebrity drama, or even sports results. The site had to pull out of the U.S. for a while after regulators questioned its legal status. Howev…

Hyperliquid (HYPE) extended its pullback for a fifth straight session on Tuesday, sliding about 6% intraday to the $45–$46 zone after a sharp rejection at a reclaimed trendline. While near-term momentum has flipped bearish, several on-chain and market-structure cues still point to a potential rebound toward $55–$60 if buyers can quickly stabilize the price above key supports. Derivatives Tilt Bearish, but Spot Holds the Line Futures positioning has swung defensively, and according to Coinglass, the long-to-short ratio slipped to 0.80, its lowest in over a month, signaling traders are leaning short into weakness. Momentum indicators echo the caution, daily RSI near 45 …

Grayscale has introduced staking within its spot Ethereum exchange-traded products. Investors holding the Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) and the Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) can now earn staking rewards as part of their investment. The company framed this as giving people more flexibility, letting some reinvest their rewards for compounding while others take cash payouts instead. A Milestone for U.S. Crypto ETFs This development marks a first in the U.S. Grayscale is the only asset manager so far to integrate staking rewards into spot Ethereum ETFs. The firm also expanded staking to its Solana Trust (GSOL), but that fund still needs regulatory approval before it can trade as…

The Pi Network (PI) community is heating up after a major announcement revealed that new Decentralized Finance (DeFi) features are now live on the Testnet. With the cryptocurrency currently trading around $0.26 after crashing severely in the past few months, the report of new upgrades raises the question of whether these developments could trigger a strong enough comeback to spark a 900% rally back to $2.98. Could Pi Network’s New DeFi Upgrades Spark A Rally? Pi Network’s price faced a devastating correction over the course of eight months, plunging from its February peak of $2.98 to just around $0.26 today. The decline erased more than $18 billion in value in just six…

Data shows users on social media are the most bearish toward XRP in six months, a potential setup for a contrarian move in the asset. XRP Positive/Negative Sentiment Has Plunged Recently According to data from analytics firm Santiment, social media FUD around XRP has seen a spike recently. The indicator of relevance here is the “Positive/Negative Sentiment,” which tells us about how the bullish and bearish sentiments related to the coin compare on the major social media platforms. The metric works by first going through posts/messages/threads on these platforms to separate those that contain mentions of the asset. It then puts them through a machine-learning model to di…

Matt Hougan, Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, posted a brief, bullish note on social media on Oct 6, 2025, writing “$1 trillion inbound….” Based on reports, that short message kicked off fresh coverage and debate about how large Bitcoin-focused funds could get if current trends continue. Bitcoin was trading near a fresh high at the time, which helped the comment spread quickly. Context Around The Claim Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $126,080 on Oct 7, 2025. At the same time, data cited by several outlets put global Bitcoin fund assets under management at about $200 billion. Those two figures were used by many market watchers to give the $1 trillion remark conte…

South African miner Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW, NYSE: SBSW) has taken another step in its decarbonization journey with the achievement of commercial operation at the Springbok solar photovoltaic project. Situated in Free State Province, Springbok represents Sibanye’s first solar wheeling project, and the second renewable energy project supplying its mine operations to reach commercial operation this year. The 150 megawatt alternating current (representing 195 MWp in peak direct current) solar project is developed and financed by the SOLA Group, a South African independent power producer. Sibanye is an anchor off-taker of the project and will procure 75MW (50%) …

In the previous two reviews, we discussed why a strong euro is unfavorable for both the European Union and the European Central Bank, which, unlike the Federal Reserve, is not entirely autonomous. The only question that remains is: how can that be addressed? One of the options currently being floated by some economists is further interest rate reductions. Despite inflation in Europe having stabilized around 2%, the ECB may need to continue easing monetary policy solely to weaken the euro. It's true that in 2025, the ECB's "dovish" stance didn't produce a weaker euro — but that had more to do with Donald Trump's policies, which caused global markets to flee the U.S. dollar…

In the previous review, we discussed the fact that a strong euro is not beneficial to the European Union or the European Central Bank (ECB). Of course, the exchange rate should not be excessively low, as this would undermine trust in the currency on global markets. However, it should not be too high either. In recent months, both ECB President Christine Lagarde and Chief Economist Philip Lane have brought up the issue of the euro's strength, making it clear that the elevated exchange rate is becoming problematic for the EU. Even with trade agreements being signed, Donald Trump's tariffs have contributed to new economic challenges in the bloc. The EU economy has been strug…

On Wednesday, October 8, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will hold its next monetary policy meeting — the second-to-last meeting of the year. The central bank is widely expected to cut the official cash rate by 25 basis points. This base-case scenario has already been priced into the market, meaning the decision itself is unlikely to cause meaningful volatility in NZD/USD. Instead, attention will shift to the bank's guidance on future policy steps. Back in August, during its previous meeting, there were widespread rumours that the RBNZ might be ready to end its rate-cut cycle following an acceleration in inflation during the second quarter. Analysts were divide…

Tensions are running high. Donald Trump's patience is wearing thin, and President Emmanuel Macron's authority is beginning to waver. Conflicting comments from the U.S. President have raised doubts about the end of the government shutdown, while the escalating political crisis in France continues to weigh heavily on the EUR/USD exchange rate. Mistakes shouldn't just be acknowledged — they're expected to be corrected, at any cost. Just over a year ago, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called for snap parliamentary elections. At that time, the spread between French and German bond yields was just over 40 basis points. By October, it had surged to 86 basis points. S…

The EUR/USD pair remains under pressure despite the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. On Monday, the pair dropped impulsively to the mid-1.16 range but failed to break through the key support level at 1.1650, which corresponds to the lower band of the Bollinger Bands indicator on the daily chart. The trading day ended at 1.1711, and on Tuesday, sellers tried to hold the pair within the 1.16 zone, driven by broad U.S. dollar strength and waning euro demand. With little to focus on in the economic calendar, traders have turned their attention to political and geopolitical news — particularly developments in France and the U.S. shutdown. The unexpected resignation of Fran…

Bitcoin supply on exchanges has hit a new low for the first time in six years, providing a bullish outlook for BTC. This comes as the flagship crypto continues to hit new all-time highs (ATHs), with the $130,000 target now in sight. Bitcoin Supply On Exchanges Hit Six-Year Low Glassnode data shows that the Bitcoin supply on exchanges has fallen to a six-year low of around 2.8 million BTC. The last time the BTC balance on exchanges was this low was in June 2019, when the flagship crypto was trading at around $8,745. This development confirms that investors are accumulating Bitcoin at an unprecedented pace. CryptoQuant data also confirms this development, with the Bitc…

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at critical levels after a sharp rally from $3,800 to $4,700 in just a few days, marking one of its strongest moves in recent months. The swift rebound highlights renewed strength from bulls, who now appear firmly in control of the market’s short-term direction. As ETH approaches key resistance zones, analysts are closely watching whether the second-largest cryptocurrency can sustain its momentum and confirm a breakout above the current range. This impressive move is not just driven by market sentiment but also by robust on-chain fundamentals. Institutional participation in Ethereum continues to rise, with inflows from funds and treasuries stea…

Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has made headlines this week by consistently breaking all-time highs, recently surpassing the $126,000 mark for the first time. However, the current price action has not only drawn attention from investors but also reignited discussions surrounding a notable prediction made two years ago. An anonymous user had forecasted that Bitcoin would achieve a peak on October 6, 2025—a prediction that came to fruition just yesterday. Potential New Bear Market Ahead Despite this milestone, Bitcoin has retraced to around $121,000 within hours after today’s record, leading to a wave of liquidations from long positions across various exchang…

It seems that Crypto Markets are caught in the middle of lunatic flows. Just yesterday, record Bitcoin prices were making headlines, with the rest of the digital asset market following suit. But today, things took a sharp U-turn to the downside — with most altcoins getting rejected harshly after what looked like the start of another euphoric leg higher. Mentioned in yesterday’s article on the crypto initiator, Bitcoin is trading around the $121,000 technical level and may soon test the $120,000 psychological support, a zone that could trigger renewed anxiety among late buyers who chased the highs. The total crypto market cap, which had broken new records by roughly $10…

The Japanese yen has reached its lowest level against the U.S. dollar since early August, maintaining the groundwork for further declines. The unexpected results of the elections in Japan are pushing the country toward expansionary fiscal policy, complicating the Bank of Japan's task of controlling inflation and stimulating the economy. In addition, market participants have already started to factor in the likelihood of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan by the end of the month, which explains the yen's weak position. Asian stock indices continue to follow Wall Street's rally. This further undermines the yen's role as a safe-haven asset. Meanwhile, data published in Japan s…
