Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang escalated his critique of Tom Lee’s latest Ethereum investment case with an unusually blunt tirade on X, interlacing his rebuttal with a series of sharply worded assertions and data-driven claims. “Tom Lee’s ETH thesis is one of the most retarded combinations of financially illiterate arguments I’ve seen from a well known analyst in a while,” Kang wrote, before listing five pillars he says underpin Lee’s view: “(1) Stablecoin & RWA adoption; (2) Digital oil comparison; (3) Institutions will buy and stake ETH; (4) ETH will be equal to all financial infrastructure companies; (5) Technical analysis.” Is Tom Lee’s Ethereum Thesis …

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are gearing up for their upcoming public roundtable meeting scheduled for 29 September 2025. To begin with, the meeting will focus on regulatory harmonisation across digital and traditional finance (TradFi), enabling the unification of fragmented oversight, since digital and TradFi often fall under different regulatory umbrellas. Importantly, the roundtable discussions signal legitimacy. With top crypto exchanges like Kraken and Crypto.com participating in the discussions, the message goes out that the regulators are serious about compliance and collaboration. Further, the …

China’s Zijin Mining Group (HKG: 2899) has become the world’s third-largest mining company by value after surpassing $100 billion in market value for the first time at Thursday’s close. The milestone places Zijin alongside global heavyweights BHP (ASX: BHP) and Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO), which closed Thursday with market capitalizations of A$212 billion ($140B) and A$169 billion ($111B), respectively. Founded in the 1980s by geologist and current chairman Chen Jinghe, Zijin grew from a small gold mine in southeastern China into a sprawling global player. The company now controls or holds majority stakes in hundreds of operations worldwide. In the past year alone, it ad…

Franklin Templeton is expanding its Benji Technology Platform to the BNB Chain, making it clear once again that crypto’s integration into mainstream finance is getting serious. The global investment firm, with $1.6T in assets under management, launched the Benji Technology Platform to experiment with the tokenization of traditional fund shares. Each $BENJI token represents one share in the Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund. $BENJI tokens – already available on Ethereum, Avalanche, Stellar, and Polygon – will now be minted on the BNB Chain as well. But why’s that driving traffic to Maxi Doge ($MAXI), sending its meme coin presale close to $2.5M and placing it as …

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee drew a crowd at Korea Blockchain Week 2025 with a bold call: Bitcoin could reach as high as $250,000 by year-end, and Ethereum could climb toward $12,000. According to reports, Lee gave a range for Bitcoin of $200,000 to $250,000 and said Ethereum might hit $10,000 to $12,000, with upside to $12,000 to $15,000 under favorable conditions. His case rested on macro tailwinds and growing institutional interest in crypto assets. Market Drivers And Timeline Reports have disclosed Lee’s timing is tied to a mix of factors. He pointed to a possible shift in US monetary policy from a hawkish stance to one that is less aggressive, which he thinks would be pos…

South Africa’s Gold Fields (JSE: GFI) is reportedly selling a A$1.1 billion ($720 million) stake in Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST), with JPMorgan running an auction process that began after Thursday’s market close. Gold Fields inherited the holding through its $2.4 billion takeover of Australian gold miner Gold Road Resources (ASX: GOR), which won shareholder approval this week. The shares are being sold at a floor price of A$21.85 each, according to The Australian. This reflected a 2.7% discount to Northern Star’s last-traded price of A$22.66 before the sale was announced. The divestment comes amid record-breaking gold prices and only days after Gold Fie…

Bitcoin is approaching a decisive inflection in its four-year cycle, with a euphoric “blowoff” advance likely to begin within days—or the market having already printed its peak at month 33—according to cycle analyst Bob Loukas. In a video published on September 24, 2025, Loukas told viewers he remains “heavily” inclined toward an imminent upside resolution into a cycle high during Q4, while outlining the risk markers that would instead confirm the top is already in. Bitcoin Blowoff Top Imminent Or Already In Loukas framed the present as the late stage of Bitcoin’s rising phase, noting that the advance from the bear-market low has been “a pretty consistent uptrend marked …

Nine of Europe’s biggest banks—including ING, UniCredit, Danske Bank, SEB, KBC, DekaBank, Banca Sella, and Raiffeisen Bank International—have decided to collaborate on a euro-backed stablecoin. Under the European Union’s (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework, the collaborating banks will roll out the stablecoin in the second half of 2026. Will this be a game-changer for European crypto payments? Will the euro-backed stablecoin reduce Europe’s reliance on US dollar-denominated stablecoins? On 25 September 2025, ING released the joint statement confirming that “the initiative will provide a real European alternative to the US-dominated stablecoin mark…

The Euro has been very tenacious throughout the year. It is currently the top two in major currency performance this year, with only its neighbor, the Swissie, keeping it in check (the difference in performance between the two is very small). Trends can be expected to continue, particularly when they reverse flows that have been seen in the past 10 years. So, what has been going on with the Euro since the 2010s? The Euro was in a secular downtrend against the US Dollar, for example, due to lower growth, a disadvantageous trade balance, companies fleeing the overregulated economic zone, generally lower rates (implying basis trade activity), and some not-so-nice events l…

The road ahead for Hyperliquid does not look so bright. In fact, the decentralized trading platform could face lots of tribulations, “painful” ones, according to an expert.

Volatility is back again after relatively unsurprising sessions since the past week FOMC. It seems that the since last week, the 2025 theme of currency debasing, seeing a huge rally in metals (Gold, Silver at their yearly highs) and equities was intact after the September meeting which resulted in a cut. Stocks had been continuing their way higher, and metals had retracted slightly before surging again to new highs. But risk-assets have been sending alerts since Monday, with Cryptocurrencies – usually early runners for profit-taking–seeing some strong outflows (look at the Total Crypto Market cap which is hanging around its December 2024 highs, 10% lower than its most …

Mining companies could see earnings drop by as much as 25% over five years due to nature degradation, Barclays said in a new report. The bank’s stress test, published in Navigating Nature Risk: Applying the TNFD’s LEAP Framework, analysed 250 mines linked to 30 companies and about 9,000 European power facilities. It found that transition risks such as higher water prices, stricter pollution rules, expansion of protected areas and increased minerals recycling pose the greatest threat to miners. Power companies faced smaller potential earnings declines of around 10%, mainly due to physical risks such as droughts and floods. The World Economic Forum estimates…

Goldman Sachs has lowered its global copper supply forecast for both 2025 and 2026, citing recent disruptions at the world’s second-largest mine. Production at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia has been under suspension since Sept. 8 after a landslide unleashed 800,000 tonnes of mud into the Block Cave area, trapping seven workers and causing severe damage across the mine’s infrastructure. US-based Freeport McMoRan (NYSE: FCX), the mine’s operator, immediately halted mining activities to prioritize the rescue of the mine workers, and to date has recovered two bodies. As the search continues, the company has declared force majeure and is investigating the incident. …

The world of crypto investing is changing. Companies are shifting from solely token-based assets to more sophisticated, equity-backed exposures. In a bold move, GSR – a well-known crypto market maker – filed for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) to invest in companies whose corporate treasuries hold digital assets. If approved, this ‘digital asset treasury company’ ETF could provide a new way for investors to gain exposure to crypto without directly owning tokens. GSR Proposes a New Twist GSR’s ETF filing shows that the fund plans to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of publicly traded companies that hold significant digital assets. That’s a rever…

Ethereum is under pressure after sliding below the $4,200 level, with price now testing the $4,000 support zone. The market is watching closely, as a breakdown here could expose ETH to deeper corrections, while a strong defense may open the door for a rebound. Despite the selling pressure, on-chain signals reveal a strikingly different picture beneath the surface. Top analyst Darkfost shared data showing that ETH inflows into accumulator addresses are exploding, signaling long-term conviction even as short-term sentiment wavers. Just yesterday, nearly 400,000 ETH were added to these specialized wallets. More notably, on September 18th, Ethereum saw a historic first when…

River Valley PGM project. Credit: New Age Metals New Age Metals (TSXV: NAM) is raising C$3.5 million ($2.5 million) to fund exploration across its Canadian projects, with mining billionaire Eric Sprott committing more than half of that investment. In total, the company will issue C$2.3 million in regular units and another C$1.2 million in flow-through units, priced at C$0.22 and C$0.26 each, respectively. The units all comprise one common share (in the case of the latter, flow-through shares) and one-half of a share purchase warrant. Under both unit categories, each whole warrant has an exercise price of C$0.40. Sprott, currently its largest shareholder with a …

Trade analysis and advice on trading the euro The price test of 1.1735 occurred at a moment when the MACD indicator had already moved far below the zero line, which limited the pair's downward potential. For this reason, I did not sell the euro. I did not see any other entry points into the market. The growth of private sector lending in the eurozone was offset by a decline in M3 money supply. This contradiction may be explained by several factors. First, despite increased lending volumes, banks may be reducing interbank market operations, which leads to a decline in overall money supply. Second, the drop in M3 could be the result of capital outflows from the eurozone to …

Trade analysis and advice on trading the Japanese yen The designated test levels were not reached in the first half of the day. In the second half of the day, USD/JPY will be strongly influenced by data on initial jobless claims, Q2 GDP, and the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index. These macroeconomic indicators, like seismic waves, can trigger significant volatility in the currency market, determining the pair's next direction. Initial jobless claims serve as a barometer of labor market health. A sharp decline would signal resilience and likely be interpreted positively by the Federal Reserve. Conversely, an increase could point to deteriorating conditions…

Silver prices rose above $45 an ounce for the first time since 2011 on Thursday, bolstered by an increased risk-off sentiment in equity markets amid worries about the trajectory of the US economy.

The bullish drivers include a weakening US dollar, relentless central bank buying and rising geopolitical risks. Surging demand for go…

XRP stands at a pivotal point as it approaches the $2.97–$3 resistance zone. Holding above this level could confirm bullish momentum and spark the next Wave 3 rally, but a rejection here risks triggering a deeper correction. Perfect Retest: $2.79 Support Holds Strong CasiTrades, a crypto analyst, recently shared an update on XRP’s ongoing market structure, pointing out that the backtest of the $2.79 support level was flawless. According to CasiTrades, this was precisely where momentum was expected to re-enter the market, and buyers have indeed shown strength at this zone. She emphasized that the macro 0.5 Fibonacci level is continuing to act as a major support, anchoring…

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has not changed for several months, which is very encouraging. Even when corrective waves are forming, the structure remains intact. This allows for accurate forecasts. It is worth remembering that wave patterns do not always look like textbook examples. Right now, the structure still looks very good. The upward trend section continues to build, while the news background mostly does not support the dollar. The trade war launched by Donald Trump continues. The confrontation with the Fed continues. Market "dovish" expectations for Fed rate policy are rising. The market is rating the results of Trump's first 6–7 months very po…

The Swiss franc is sharply lower on Thursday. In the North American session, USD/CHF is trading at 0.8013, up 0.78% on the day. SNB holds rates, warns about US tariffs The Swiss National Bank held its benchmark rate at zero earlier today. The decision was widely expected. The Swiss franc has fallen sharply today but that is more likely due to the surprising strong US GDP release, rather than the SNB rate cut. The SNB statement noted that inflation had remained virtually the same in the second quarter and the inflation outlook called for little change. However, members expressed concern about the slowdown in global economic growth and the uncertainty over US tariffs. …
