Crypto treasury stocks slid Thursday after The Information reported that Nasdaq is tightening oversight on companies raising capital to stockpile crypto. We suspect that the main gamble on the “treasury company” LARPing was the hope that we’d see “strategic crypto reserves” by relevant nation states by now. Could you imagine Vietnam hodling XRP, or Ghana Bitcoin? This, of course, hasn’t materialized yet and might not materialize any time soon. Meanwhile, Nasdaq is making it harder on crypto treasury companies, telling certain listed firms that shareholder approval may be required before issuing new shares to buy digital assets. According to filings and people familiar with the matter, the goal is to protect existing shareholders from dilution, particularly when crypto is the primary use of proceeds. This move could slow a rush of deals. Architect Partners reports that 124 U.S.-listed companies announced plans to raise $133Bn for crypto purchases this year and all of this is now threatened. Should You Sell Off Small Crypto Treasury Companies? Market Reaction: Bitcoin and Treasury Stocks Retreat (Source: TradingView) The news sparked declines across the sector: Strategy (BTC Treasury leader) dropped as much as 3% before closing down 0.8%. Bitcoin fell 1.6% on the day. Sharplink Gaming (ETH holder) slipped 8%. Upexi and DeFi Development (SOL holders) fell 4.5% and 7.6%, respectively. Heritage Distilling, which is introducing a “Bitcoin Bourbon,” is awaiting a shareholder vote tied to its $IP token treasury, dipped 0.3%. CoinGlass data shows treasury-linked stocks have become highly correlated with BTC USD price swings, magnifying volatility as firms pile in. Outside of Michael Saylor’s Strategy, if you bet your company on crypto it’s proving to be a volatile ride.

Michael Saylor’s Newest Gamble The spotlight remains on Strategy, the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company, with 636,505 BTC in holdings. Analysts now see a 91% chance the firm qualifies for inclusion in the S&P 500, given its market cap of $92Bn+, Trading volume in the millions of shares daily and Positive GAAP net income of $5.3Bn over four quarters. (Source: Bitcoin Magazine) Yet hurdles remain. Bloomberg notes the S&P Index Committee can deny inclusion even if criteria are met, citing “concerns over the sustainability” of a crypto treasury model and volatility averaging 96% in 30-day price swings. That uncertainty could block Strategy’s path to the S&P500, despite financial metrics that exceed requirements.

Index funds tracking the benchmark would pour billions into crypto-adjacent equities, repeating the historical pattern of an 8–10% pop for new entrants. It would also deepen the crossover between Wall Street and Bitcoin. Treasury firms in the index would anchor crypto exposure inside the portfolios of mainstream investors, closing the gap between digital assets and traditional finance. Will it happen, though? As it stands Saylor and company have the best odds, and that makes the prospect of loading up more in Q4 quite tempting.

Bitcoin mining now has the Trump name attached through another Eric Trump crypto project. American Bitcoin, supported by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., hit the Nasdaq on Wednesday through a merger with a small-cap miner, sidestepping the usual IPO route. The crypto stock debuted around $8, surged to $13, and pulled back to roughly $10 by midday. For a moment, its market value touched $7.5Bn, 99Bitcoins reported. But by Thursday midday, it was trading closer to $6.35. The crash has many asking, “Is this another Trump family rugpull?” Eric Trump, following the stock’s debut, said, “[Crypto] treasury companies are popping up all over the place for all sorts of coins, but [American Bitcoin] is very different. This is my baby,” Eric Trump told the Financial Times. Are Eric Trump Crypto Projects Dead? American Bitcoin’s Three-Part Strategy According to its investor presentation, American Bitcoin’s plan is more than mining BTC. It goes: Mine Bitcoin – build and expand traditional data centers. Accumulate Bitcoin – leverage public-market access to buy BTC in addition to mining it. Amplify Value via Brand (i.e., Trump name), Audience, and Treasury. Eric Trump added: “When you see the facilities, [American Bitcoin] has a real skeleton, it has the backbone.” “It’s very different to a guy who gets together with his buddy in a dorm room to say we’re going to accumulate some bitcoin.” (Source: TradingView) American Bitcoin is consolidating after a sharp selloff. Immediate support sits at $6.40, with $6.20 as the next line if that floor gives way. On the upside, $6.70–$6.80 remains firm resistance, and bulls need a clean break there. Bollinger Bands blew wide open during the midday flush, reflecting heavy selling pressure, before tightening back as price tracked the mid-line. Man, does this look like most Trump-crypto projects? Meanwhile, the intraday chart shows a head-and-shoulders top. The neckline at $6.80 has already broken, confirming a bearish continuation setup.

Thanks to deregulated energy markets and relatively cheap power, Texas continues to dominate as the U.S. mining hub. (Source: Blockchain.com) Nuclear energy could also play a pivotal role.

Asia Market Wrap - Nikkei Extends Gains, President Trump Signs Executive Order on Japan Deal Most Read: GBP/USD Forecast: Cable Recovers but the Outlook Remains Murky. WIll NFP Data Serve as a Catalyst? On Friday morning, the positive feeling from a strong day on Wall Street carried over to Asian stock markets. This happened because new information continues to show that the U.S. job market is slowing down, which makes investors more confident that the U.S. central bank will cut interest rates this month. As a result, Asian stocks rose by 0.7%, and stock markets in mainland China also bounced back after they had dropped on Thursday. Japan's Nikkei .N225 rose 0.9% and Taiwan's stock benchmark .TWII climbed 1.1%. Both those markets are close to recent record highs. Hong Kong's Hang Seng .HSI added 0.8%, while mainland Chinese blue chips .CSI300 advanced 1%. Australian stocks .AXJO gained 0.5%. For more on the Hang Seng, read Hang Seng Index Technical: Recent sell-off overdone, bullish trend remains intact In Japan's bond market, the return on 30-year government bonds fell for a second day on Friday, moving further away from the record high it had reached on Wednesday of 3.255%. In other news, U.S. President Trump signed an order to make a trade agreement with Japan official. Under the deal, the United States will apply a tax of up to 15% on most goods it imports from Japan. In return, Japan has promised to set up a $550 billion fund to invest in the U.S. The two countries had agreed to this deal back in July but were still finalizing the details until now. UK Retail Sales Beat Estimates, June Figure Revised Lower In July, retail sales in the UK grew by a strong 0.6%, which was better than experts had predicted. This increase was driven by a boost in online shopping and clothing sales, helped by good weather and extra spending related to the Women's EURO 2025 soccer tournament. However, the good news was dampened by a major correction to the sales figures for June, which turned out to be much weaker than first reported. Compared to the same time last year, July sales were up 1.1%. Despite the solid performance in July, the bigger picture suggests a slowdown, as sales over the last three months actually fell, ending a year-long period of growth. Source: TradingEconomics European Open - European Stocks Edge Higher European stocks are up slightly this morning as investors cautiously wait for the important U.S. jobs report to be released later today. Overall, the market is on track to finish a very up-and-down week with a small gain. Technology stocks are the best performers today, boosted by the Swedish company Hexagon, whose shares jumped nearly 7% after it announced a multi-billion dollar deal to sell a part of its business to a U.S. firm. On the downside, the Danish wind farm company Orsted saw its stock fall 1.3% after it lowered its profit forecast because of a lack of wind. Additionally, shares in the banking software company Temenos dropped sharply after it announced its CEO was leaving immediately. On the FX front, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly against other major currencies on Friday morning. The Japanese yen gained strength after Japan finalized a trade deal with the United States that will lower U.S. taxes on imported Japanese cars. USD/JPY trading at 148.21. The New Zealand dollar also climbed, benefiting from a positive day in Asian stock markets. In other movements, the euro was up 0.1% to 1.1666 to the US Dollar with the British pound, and Australian dollar also seeing small increases against the U.S. dollar. Despite today's dip, the dollar's overall value is still on track to finish the week higher than it started. Currency Power Balance Source: OANDA Labs Oil prices are falling for the third day in a row on Friday and are now on track to record their first weekly loss in three weeks. The price decline is being caused by two main factors: growing expectations that major producers will soon increase the supply of oil, and worries about weaker demand for fuel. These demand concerns were heightened by a surprise report showing that the amount of stored crude oil in the U.S. has increased. Currently, the price for Brent crude, the global standard, is around $66.80 a barrel, while the main U.S. oil price is about $63.25 a barrel. Economic Data Releases and Final Thoughts Looking at the economic calendar, the European session has already seen a glut of data releases this morning with UK retail sales and German industrial production. The rest of the session brings Euro Area GDP data (revised) numbers before attention shifts to the US session. All eyes today are on the U.S. jobs report for August, which is due to be released at 12:30 GMT time. This report is seen as particularly crucial because other data earlier this week has already pointed to a weakening U.S. job market. Investors are watching closely, as many are already expecting the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, to cut interest rates by 0.25% at its meeting later this month. A weak jobs number today would likely confirm those expectations.

(click to enlarge) Chart of the Day - FTSE 100 Index From a technical standpoint, the FTSE 100 has had an interesting week. After completing the Head and Shoulder breakout and reaching the sell target, the index bottomed out on September 2. We did have a potential double bottom print on September 3 before a rally higher materialized breaking the descending trendline in play from the recent all-time high. The next moves for the FTSE will be crucial. Today's UK retail sales data may bode well for the index but overall sentiment may shift after today's US Jobs data. This could have a knock on impact on global markets and weigh on equities in the UK and Europe as well. Immediate resistance rests at 9271 before the swing high at 9308 comes into focus. On the downside the FTSE found support this morning at the 100-day MA before bouncing higher. Below that support is provided by 9180 handle and then the 200-day MA at 9165.

Data shows the correlation between Bitcoin and Gold has turned negative, a sign that the two assets are moving in the direction opposite to each other. Correlation Coefficient Is Now Underwater For Bitcoin & Gold In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Correlation Coefficient between Bitcoin and Gold. The Correlation Coefficient is a tool from statistics that measures the relationship between two given variables over a given period, typically one month. In the current case, the variables are the prices of BTC and Gold. When the value of the metric is positive, it means the price of one asset is reacting to movements in the other by traveling in the same direction. The closer is the indicator to 1, the stronger is this relationship. On the other hand, the coefficient being under zero implies there exists a negative correlation between the two assets. That is, they are moving opposite to each other. The extreme point for this side lies at -1. There also exists a third case for the Correlation Coefficient: a level exactly equal to zero. Such a value indicates no correlation whatsoever exists between the assets. In other words, their prices are independent of each other. Now, here is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coefficient Correlation for Bitcoin and Gold over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the Correlation Coefficient between Bitcoin and Gold shot up to a high above 0.5 back in June, suggesting the assets’ prices were tied to some degree. Following this peak, however, the correlation between the assets began to weaken, with the metric’s value slipping down. For a while it maintained inside the positive territory, but recently, that has changed. Gold has seen a price rally while BTC has been facing bearish action, resulting in the Correlation Coefficient turning slightly negative. This is the first time since February that the indicator has gone underwater. For now, the two assets are almost independent, but it remains to be seen whether the negative correlation will continue to grow in the coming days. Gold is the traditional safe-haven asset, while Bitcoin is associated as its digital counterpart. Periods where the two assets diverge can challenge the narrative for BTC. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $110,100, down almost 2% over the past week.

BTC ▼-1.15% has surged past $112,000, maintaining its dominance as institutional investors ramp up their holdings. Public companies now own more than 1 million BTC, valued over $111 billion, with Strategy leading at 636,505 BTC. New entrants like XXI and Bitcoin Standard Treasury are also expanding rapidly, tightening available supply as just 5.2% of Bitcoin remains to be mined. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.21T24h7d30d1yAll time The market capitalisation stands at $3.83 trillion, with a neutral Fear & Greed Index of 41, reflecting cautious optimism. For many investors, this has reinforced Bitcoin as the best crypto to buy for exposure to the market’s strongest performer. EXPLORE: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Regulatory Push Could Shape the Best Crypto to Buy Regulatory clarity is emerging as a key factor for future growth. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has made digital assets central to the Spring 2025 agenda, aiming to set “clear rules of the road” for issuance, custody, and trading. Proposed measures may allow cryptocurrencies to trade on national exchanges, simplify disclosure requirements, and provide exemptions or safe harbors for offerings. This shift marks a break from previous enforcement-heavy policies and may create an environment where altcoins with strong fundamentals can thrive. DISCOVER: Cardano (ADA) Crypto Hit a 5‑Month Low Amid Theft Accusation While Bitcoin remains the dominant force, altcoins such as ETH ▼-3.67% for smart contracts and SOL ▼-4.10% for scalable applications could benefit from these regulatory moves. For example, DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) announced it acquired 196,141 SOL at an average price of $202.76, bringing total holdings to 2,027,817 SOL (about $427M). Institutional players are also diversifying, with firms like Thumzup Media investing in BTC, DOGE, LTC, XRP, ETH, and USDC, signaling broader acceptance of digital assets. As the market digests these developments, investors weighing the best crypto to buy should consider both the immediate strength of Bitcoin and the mid-term potential of select altcoins positioned to gain from clearer rules and rising institutional interest. Stay tuned to our real-time updates below. 4 minutes ago Stripe and Paradigm Launch Tempo, a Stablecoin-Powered Payments Blockchain By Fatima Payments giant Stripe and crypto firm Paradigm have unveiled Tempo, a new blockchain designed for stablecoin transactions, now in private testing. Early partners include Visa, Deutsche Bank, Shopify, Standard Chartered, Revolut, and OpenAI, reflecting strong institutional backing. Tempo focuses on bringing real-world payments, cross-border transfers, payroll, remittances, microtransactions, and AI-driven payments on-chain, combining Stripe’s global payment expertise with Paradigm’s crypto experience. The network supports over 100,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality, predictable low fees, and payments or gas fees in any stablecoin via an integrated AMM. Built for decentralization and neutrality, Tempo will feature a diverse validator set with plans to become fully permissionless. Its payments-first design includes opt-in privacy, dedicated payment lanes, and tokenized deposits for 24/7 settlement. With major partners already on board, Tempo aims to position stablecoins as a core part of everyday transactions and financial infrastructure worldwide. The post [LIVE] Crypto News Today, September 5 – Bitcoin Price Surges Past $112K as Altcoins Lag Behind: Best Crypto to Buy? appeared first on 99Bitcoins.

Fintech giant Stripe and crypto venture firm Paradigm have announced their collaboration on a new project named Tempo. The Layer-1 (L1) blockchain, designed specifically around stablecoins, aims to streamline digital transactions and enhance payment efficiency. Stripe And Paradigm’s New Payment Solution Tempo emerges as part of a growing trend of Layer-1 blockchains dedicated to stablecoin integration, joining the ranks of initiatives like Circle’s Arc and Tether’s Plasma Layer-1 blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Its launch comes at a time when interest in cryptocurrency is surging, fueled by the Trump administration’s favorable stance towards the crypto sector and recent legislative progress, including Congress’s passage of the first stablecoin-focused bill, the GENIUS Act, in July. While established platforms like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have dominated the landscape, a new generation of payment-focused blockchains has reportedly emerged, promising rapid transactions and lower fees. These blockchains often utilize native tokens, such as Circle’s USDC or Tether’s USDT stablecoins, which are frequently traded on the Ethereum blockchain yet deployed across various networks. Despite the competitive environment, Tempo benefits from Stripe’s customer base. As one of the largest payment infrastructure providers globally, Stripe caters to a clientele that largely remains outside the crypto sphere. The advantages of stablecoins, often touted for their speed and efficiency compared to traditional money transfer services like SWIFT, present a compelling case for broader adoption. However, concerns over regulatory uncertainties and corporate hesitance have slowed this process. Tempo’s Ambitious Goals Fortune reports that tempo will not launch with its own native cryptocurrency. Instead, it will utilize various stablecoins as “gas” fees, which are essential payments made to the network of entities operating the blockchain. This approach sets Tempo apart from many other blockchains that rely on their proprietary tokens for value. As for the timeline for Tempo’s launch, details remain scarce; however, the project is currently staffed by around 15 employees, including Huang, who will continue his role at Paradigm alongside Alana Palmedo. Paradigm outlined Tempo’s focus areas, which include global payments, remittances, microtransactions, and agentic payments—transactions initiated by artificial intelligence (AI) agents. While Stripe is incubating Tempo, Paradigm emphasizes the intention for the blockchain to maintain a sense of neutrality. It remains uncertain whether other payment providers will adopt this new technology. However, the involvement of various partners, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Deutsche Bank, and Shopify, suggests a collaborative effort to develop a new payment solution.

This is a follow-up analysis and a timely update of our prior report, “Hang Seng Index Technical: End of minor corrective decline, start of new bullish impulsive up move”, published on 13 August 2025. The Hong Kong 33 CFD Index (a proxy for Hang Seng Index futures) delivered the anticipated bullish run between 13 and 25 August, reaching the short-term resistance level of 25,750 and posting an intraday high of 25,946 on 25 August. Thereafter, its price actions have evolved into a choppy minor corrective decline sequence of -4.3% (high to low) within a medium-term uptrend phase from 25 August to 28 August, as short-term traders took profit due to fears of an overheated bull-run seen in the China “A” shares market towards the end of August Margin financing in the Shanghai stocks rose to record highs in line with the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index hitting a 10-year high, bringing the memories of the bursting of the 2015 stock market bubble in China that saw a massive decline of close to -50% in their respective benchmark stock indices. Fundamentals continued to improve in the Chinese stock markets Fig. 1: China CSI 300 1-month forward EPS growth y/y as of Aug 2025 (Source: MacroMicro) Fig. 2: China non-official Manufacturing & Services PMI as of Aug 2025 (Source: MacroMicro) The monthly average of the 12-month forward earnings per share (EPS) growth for China’s CSI 300 (comprising component stocks from Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges) has improved significantly in the past eight months; it rose from -7.4% y/y in January 2025 to -1.8% y/y in August 2025 (see Fig. 1). The privately compiled (non-official) Manufacturing and Services PMIs, which track small and medium-sized enterprises in China, have returned to expansionary territory. The Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 in August 2025, recovering from a near three-year low of 48.3 in May. Similarly, the Services PMI strengthened to 53 in August, up from 50.6 in June (see Fig. 2). These improvements in leading Chinese economic indicators suggest that deflation risks have eased, creating the potential for a positive feedback loop that could further support the Chinese stock market and, by extension, benefit Hong Kong equities. Right now, let’s take a deep dive into the short-term (1 to 3 days) directional bias and key levels to watch on the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index. Fig. 3: Hong Kong 33 CFD Index minor trend as of 5 Sep 2025 (Source: TradingView) Preferred trend bias (1-3 days) The minor corrective decline from the 25 August 2025 high to the 28 August 2025 low of the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index is likely to have ended where a potential fresh bullish impulsive up move is in progress. Bullish bias above 24,880 key medium-term pivotal support for the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index. A clearance above 25,490 intermediate resistances sees the next resistances coming in at 25,690, 25,890, and 26,120 in the first step (see Fig. 3). Key elements The 24,880 key medium-term pivotal support on the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index is defined by the rising 50-day moving average, the lower boundary of the medium-term ascending channel from 2 June 2025 low, and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior short-term bullish impulsive up move sequence from 1 August 2025 low to 25 August 2025 high.Today’s price actions of the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index have reintegrated back above the 20-day moving average, now acting as an intermediate support at 25,260.The hourly RSI momentum indicator of the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index has flashed out a bullish divergence condition at its oversold zone seen on Thursday’s US session, 4 September.Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 days) A break below the 24,880 key support jeopardizes the medium-term uptrend phase of the Hong Kong 33 CFD Index for an extension of the corrective decline to expose the next support zone of 24,730/24,620 in the first step.

Cardano (ADA) has entered September with mixed signals. On-chain data from Santiment reveals that retail sentiment has dropped to its most bearish level in five months, with a bullish-to-bearish commentary ratio at just 1.5:1. Surprisingly, instead of collapsing, ADA has gained about 5% during this period. This inverse correlation isn’t new. Earlier in August, when optimism spiked, ADA corrected sharply. When fear crept in mid-month, the token rallied. Analysts note that crowd sentiment often misleads, as smaller traders exit in frustration while larger investors accumulate quietly. That dynamic appears to be playing out again, keeping ADA’s mid-term outlook resilient. Technical Levels Define Cardano’s Next Move At press time, Cardano trades near $0.82, consolidating after repeated defenses of the $0.80–$0.78 support zone. Resistance looms at $0.84–$0.85, with the 200-EMA marking a critical barrier. A decisive push above $0.92, the mid-range resistance and a key Fibonacci level, could unlock higher targets at $1.00 and $1.15. On the downside, losing $0.78 may open the door to $0.74 or even $0.70, though dips have consistently attracted buying interest. With the TD Sequential indicator flashing a potential buy signal, traders are closely watching for confirmation of a rebound. Hoskinson Cleared, Ecosystem Catalysts Ahead Cardano received a significant boost after a forensic audit cleared founder Charles Hoskinson of misconduct allegations tied to a voucher program. The report confirmed that claims of insider misuse were baseless, removing the long cloud of uncertainty. Hoskinson has also pointed to upcoming catalysts, including the Midnight Network privacy layer and potential interoperability with Bitcoin, as drivers for long-term adoption. Fused with macro factors like the prospect of Fed rate cuts and regulatory clarity from the proposed Clarity Act, ADA’s ecosystem appears well-positioned for renewed growth. Outlook: Will Bulls Break $0.92? Cardano remains one of the stronger altcoin performers over the past 90 days, posting gains of nearly 25%. The cleared Hoskinson case adds fresh momentum, but technical resistance at $0.92 remains the hurdle that could decide ADA’s next breakout. If bulls reclaim $0.85 and sustain accumulation, a run toward $1.00 looks increasingly likely. For now, ADA sits at a crossroads, balancing bearish sentiment with bullish fundamentals, where the next decisive move could reshape its September trajectory.

BNB price is consolidating losses below the $850 zone. The price is now facing hurdles near $855 and might start another decline in the near term. BNB price is correcting gains and traded below the $855 support zone. The price is now trading below $850 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a short-term contracting triangle forming with support at $845 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair (data source from Binance). The pair must stay above the $840 level to start another increase in the near term. BNB Price Dips To Support After a steady increase, BNB price failed to clear the $868 zone. There was a downside correction below the $865 and $855 levels, like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The price even dipped below $850 and tested $842. A low was formed at $842 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $864 swing high to the $842 low. The price is now trading below $850 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a short-term contracting triangle forming with support at $845 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $850 level. The next resistance sits near the $855 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $864 swing high to the $842 low. A clear move above the $855 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $865. A close above the $865 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $880 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $888 level in the near term. Another Decline? If BNB fails to clear the $855 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $845 level. The next major support is near the $842 level. The main support sits at $835. If there is a downside break below the $835 support, the price could drop toward the $820 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $800 level. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for BNB/USD is losing pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BNB/USD is currently below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $842 and $835. Major Resistance Levels – $855 and $865.

The August US labor readings have turned Friday’s nonfarm payrolls into a live-fire macro event for crypto. On Wednesday, ADP’s private payrolls rose by just 54,000—well under the forecast—and job openings have slipped on the latest JOLTS print, sharpening focus on whether the Federal Reserve will confirm a long-telegraphed September rate cut. Why Tomorrow Could Be Crucial For The Crypto Market As crypto analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) put it, “JOLTS report indicates that job openings are slightly weakening. This will catch the attention of the Fed. Labor market report on Friday just got bigger in terms of importance.” He added today that “very low volume and very little liquidity [are] flowing around… classic August/September behavior while the markets wait for key economic data and monetary policy updates going into Q4,” stressing that “price action will likely be mediocre at best” until the FOMC meeting on September 17. The data backdrop is decisively softer. ADP’s August report showed private-sector employment increased by 54,000 and annual pay rose 4.4% year-over-year; July was revised to a 106,000 gain. The miss versus expectations underscores a cooling trend into Friday’s official Employment Situation release. Separately, initial jobless claims climbed to 237,000 in the week ended August 30, up 8,000 from the prior week, while the BLS’s July JOLTS showed job openings at 7.2 million, down from a revised 7.4 million in June, with declines led by health care and retail. Together these indicators argue that labor demand is easing and that slack is edging higher. The calendar makes the stakes plain. The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases August nonfarm payrolls on Friday, September 5, at 8:30 a.m. ET, and the FOMC meets on September 16–17, with a press conference scheduled on the 17th. As of today, derivatives markets imply that a quarter-point cut in September is overwhelmingly priced. In other words, the next incremental move in crypto is less about whether the Fed cuts and more about how Friday’s labor internals—headline payrolls, unemployment rate, and labor-force participation—reshape the expected path of cuts into year-end. Price action mirrors the wait-and-see tone that Kevin describes. Liquidity is thin intraday and reactive to headlines, a profile that often produces range maintenance rather than trend extension into marquee macro releases. For altcoins, rate-path expectations and dollar moves typically dictate beta. When a user asked Kevin for “the next target for DOGE when we get the rate cut on the 17th?”, he answered bluntly: “That rate cut is already priced into the market my friend.” The logic is consistent with futures-implied probabilities; a “cut confirmed” headline is less catalytic than a deviation in the odds for additional easing after September. DOGE itself is hovering near $0.216 intraday, and like the broader market it has been tracking bitcoin’s range as traders prioritize Friday’s jobs data over directional bets. Why tomorrow’s Jobs Report is pivotal for crypto is straightforward and mechanical. First, the print will refine expectations for the Fed’s reaction function into the September 16–17 meeting and beyond; the rate path filters directly into global liquidity conditions, term premia, and the dollar, all of which feed crypto risk appetite. Second, after July’s disappointing government report and the ADP/claims/JOLTS trio this week, another soft employment reading would validate a slowdown narrative and keep additional 2025 cuts in play—whereas a surprise re-acceleration would push back against the easing path and likely firm yields and the dollar, a headwind for high-beta crypto. At press time, BTC traded at $109,551.

Why is crypto down Today? Bitcoin price is struggling to progress upside, but if Rektember collapses BTC USD, how long will it go? As the Bitcoin price reaches a critical moment in its four-year market rhythm, doubts are rising. Traders are asking if this turning point could signal a steep drop ahead – here is the analysis. Analysts caution that the coming month could bring either a sharp surge or a steep $50,000 correction. October is being pointed out as the key turning point. Joao Wedson, founder and CEO of the crypto analytics firm Alphractal, clearly warned about Bitcoin’s outlook. He suggested that Bitcoin may be nearing the close of its four-year repetition cycle, and bear markets have historically followed it. Wedson explained that Bitcoin’s 15% slide from its all-time highs could be an early sign of a longer downtrend. He stressed that the current structure fits with Alphractal’s “Repetition Fractal Cycle” and October is usually the month when bearish momentum builds and market sentiment shifts. Bitcoin Price Analysis: Is BTC’s Descending Channel Setting Up a Breakout or a Breakdown? BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.21T24h7d30d1yAll time On the technical side, Bitcoin’s hourly chart shows a mixed setup. Price action has been consolidating after the recent volatility. Candlestick movement shows a descending channel formed in late August. This was marked by consistently lower highs and lower lows. The pattern forced Bitcoin down to the $109,500-$110,000 support zone. Buyers stepped in at this level to absorb selling pressure. (Source – BTC USDT, TradingView) Currently, Bitcoin price trades around $110,049, marking a decline of -2.5% just above that support area. The 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages are moving close together. This reflects uncertainty in the short term and the possibility of a sharp breakout. If the $109,500 support breaks, selling could accelerate and drag the price toward $108,000. On the other hand, if the level holds, Bitcoin could retest resistance around $111,000-$112,000. According to the CryptoQuant data, the Binance Bitcoin-to-stablecoin ratio is now close to 1, which has often lined up with market bottoms. The measure compares Bitcoin reserves with stablecoin reserves on Binance. The last time it touched parity was in March, when Bitcoin dipped to $78,000 before staging a rally toward its $123,000 all-time high. (Source: Bitcoin/Stablecoin Reserve Ratio – CryptoQuant) This ratio has increased to such heights twice since the previous bear market. The ratio has never been seen before during the previous cycles, except at the end of bear markets, and it flashed again in March 2023. Its renewal now might not indicate a bottom, but just indicate the beginning of a greater correction.

Both directions also have hot spots on the Bitcoin liquidation heatmap provided by Coinglass. (Source: Bitcoin Liquidation Heatmap – Coinglass) On the positive side, the liquidation leverage is between $112,000 and $114,000. Any further breakout would trigger a series of short liquidations, which would cause a squeeze in case momentum increases. Liquidation levels are negative, between $108,000 and $106,000. Close to 20M-40M positions are resting in this range. According to analysts, below this zone, forced selling may cause a more severe drop in Bitcoin price. The overall liquidation structure indicates that the traders are distributed on either side. Shorts would be at risk below $108000, and longs would be at risk above $112000. The heatmap highlights a current battle between bulls and bears and indicates that a big move may be acute after liquidity levels on either side are tested. The latest Crypto Fear and Greed Index from CoinGlass reads at 56, which is neutral but leans toward greed. This indicates that sentiment is slightly bullish even though traders are cautious. Historically, when the index moves into greed while Bitcoin trades near highs, markets often see short-term corrections as profit-taking starts. (Source: BTC Fear and Greed Index – Coinglass) A sign of mild greed shows that buyers are still active. But if momentum slows, the chance of a pullback grows. For Bitcoin, that could mean more volatility around current levels. Traders are watching closely to see if the move toward greed brings a cooling phase before any push higher. Charts shared by Wedson on X show that BTC/USD is moving in line with past cycle patterns. Still, this cycle carries key differences. One of the biggest is the strong role of institutional investors and Bitcoin’s growing status as a macro asset.

Etherscan has expanded to SEI crypto with the launch of Seiscan. As Seiscan goes live, the real test lies ahead – could September bring a shake-up in SEI price? According to SEI’s official blog, Seiscan adds Etherscan’s infrastructure to the chain, giving users detailed blockchain data in one place. Etherscan acts like a search engine for blockchain records, letting people track transactions, wallet activity, smart contracts, token information, and gas costs in real time. Etherscan handles more than a billion API requests each day and serves millions of active users. It is viewed as the standard tool across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks. Its launch on SEI now brings those same tools to developers and traders, backing SEI’s role as a fast, institution-level EVM chain. SeiPriceMarket CapSEI$1.68B24h7d30d1yAll time The integration is a significant step for the Sei ecosystem, and the blog post highlighted the benefits that can strengthen Sei’s position on the broader blockchain space. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 SEI Price Prediction: How Could Seiscan’s EVM Compatibility Affect SEI Price in September? As of press time, the SEI price is trading close to $0.279 showing a decline of -4.93% in last 24 hours as per Tradingview data. (Source – SEI USDT, TradingView) The market shows caution after several failed attempts to move higher. On the one-hour Heikin Ashi chart, the token has struggled to hold momentum above $0.29. Sellers have added pressure in recent sessions. Trading volume is steady at around 17K, showing neither side has firm conviction. From a technical view, SEI is under the 50-period and 100-period exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are marked at $0.2859 and $0.2863, respectively. Both are acting as resistance. This setup points to a bearish bias. Earlier in the week, attempts to push above these levels failed and were followed by sharp pullbacks. The chart shows lower highs and lower lows, which indicate weakness. However, brief rebounds signal that buyers still step in on dips, and support has formed around $0.275. A drop below this could push the price toward new local lows. Overall, the technical outlook is cautious. Unless bulls lift the price above $0.286 with strength, short-term weakness is likely. Sellers remain in control. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared a chart on X suggesting a possible bullish reversal for SEI price. His 4-hour chart of the SEI/USDT perpetual contract on Binance shows the token near $0.2867. The structure hints at a breakout from a descending wedge. (Source: Ali Martinez – X) The chart highlights key Fibonacci retracement levels. Support is set near $0.2851 at the 0.786 Fib level. SEI is now testing this area. If it breaks, the next support is $0.2691 near the wedge’s lower boundary. On the upside, resistance shows at $0.2993 (0.618 Fib), $0.3096 (0.5 Fib), and $0.3203 (0.382 Fib). Martinez believes reclaiming $0.2993 could open the way for a rally toward $0.33, in line with the 0.236 Fib retracement. The dotted path on his chart suggests that SEI may retest support before moving higher. If the price stays above the wedge breakout, this would signal growing bullish momentum. Traders are watching to see if SEI can flip short-term resistance into support, which could build confidence in a September recovery. SEI faces near-term tests at $0.285. Holding above this level could set up a move toward the $0.31-$0.33 range. If buyers confirm the breakout, market sentiment could improve. The new integration may increase transparency and trust across the network. However, it is still unclear if this will lead to a lasting SEI price recovery. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 Why Is Etherscan’s EVM Compatibility a Game-Changer for SEI Developers?

The recent Bitcoin (BTC) price correction has sent ripples through the broader cryptocurrency market, pushing many assets into the red. On Tuesday, Bitcoin fell below $110,000, marking a 12% decline from its all-time high. Experts are now warning that the situation could worsen as October approaches. Crypto Market’s Imminent Downturn Market analyst OxPepesso took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to explain his decision to liquidate all his crypto holdings by October. He identified key factors based on historical patterns that influenced his decision. According to the analyst, many traders mistakenly believe that the upcoming altcoin season will last six to eight months. OxPepesso’s analysis indicates that altcoin season is anticipated to begin in late September to early October. He notes that Bitcoin is losing its dominance, while the resurgence of memecoins and growing momentum in the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem signal a shift in market dynamics. Technical setups also appear to align with macroeconomic trends, suggesting that the market is nearing an “overheating phase.” He warns that following this peak, an “uncontrollable collapse” could occur, leading to significant losses for altcoins. The analyst also highlights the use of various indicators, such as the Extreme Oscillators, which measure market overheating or oversold conditions. Currently, this indicator sits at 1-2, suggesting that the market has not yet reached an overheated state, but the risk of a downturn looms. Another tool in OxPepesso’s analytical arsenal is the MVRV Bands, which assess the ratio of Bitcoin’s market value to its realized value. When this metric approaches its upper bands, it signals that the crypto market is becoming overheated, increasing the risk of a price drop. Although today’s readings remain below critical levels, the analyst asserts that there are signs indicating the market is heading in that direction. This could potentially worsen the broader crypto market’s retracement as the October deadline approaches. Analyst Predicts Lower Bitcoin Prices The Pi Cycle Top indicator, which tracks the crossover of the 111-day and 350-day moving averages, is another focal point in OxPepesso’s analysis. Although the lines have not yet crossed, the chart below shows that the gap is closing rapidly, suggesting that a market top could be imminent. Additionally, Onchain Originals Price Models are being monitored, as they reflect investor behavior and establish Bitcoin’s value ranges, identifying support and overheating levels that indicate the current phase of the crypto cycle. In light of these indicators, OxPepesso notes that the current cycle is nearing its final phase. This sentiment is echoed by fellow market analyst Doctor Profit, who recently intensified his bearish stance. Initially, he had projected that the market’s leading crypto could reach a new all-time high after hitting the $90,000 to $95,000 range. However, he now considers the possibility of lower price points, stating that he sees little to be bullish about. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,370 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a decent increase if there is a close above the $4,450 level in the near term. Ethereum Price Recovery Faces Hurdles Ethereum price started a recovery wave after it formed a base above the $4,220 zone, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $4,300 and $4,350 resistance levels before the bears appeared. The recent low was formed at $4,269 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor increase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,488 swing high to the $4,269 low. However, the bulls face an uphill task near $4,400. Besides, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,370 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading below $4,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,350 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,370 level or the trend line and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,488 swing high to the $4,269 low. The first major resistance is near the $4,450 level. A clear move above the $4,450 resistance might send the price toward the $4,500 resistance. An upside break above the $4,500 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,550 resistance zone or even $4,620 in the near term. More Losses In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,450 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,280 level.

Solana’s futures Open Interest (OI) has reached a new all-time high. This record level of activity highlights growing demand and institutional participation in SOL, signaling deeper liquidity and confidence in its long-term role within the digital asset ecosystem. Derivatives Demand Highlights Rising Confidence in Solana In an X post, crypto analyst Tom Tucker has revealed that Solana Open Interest (OI) has reached a new all-time high of $13.68 billion, a key indicator suggesting that traders are placing significant bets on SOL’s upside. This record-breaking figure comes as SOL records a 17% jump to $217 in Q3, which is fueled by a major network upgrade. The Alpenglow upgrade, which was recently approved, is a major catalyst for this institutional confidence. Interestingly, this upgrade has reduced transaction finality from over 12 seconds to a blistering 150 milliseconds. Solana has achieved a level of speed and efficiency that rivals traditional financial systems. Combined with a tested capacity of over 107,000 transactions per second (TPS), this performance boost makes Solana a prime candidate for high-frequency trading and large-scale institutional applications. As history has often shown, a high OI indicates that a significant amount of new capital is entering the derivatives market. Also, this accumulation of open contracts suggests a strong market consensus that signals a major price move could be on the horizon. SOL’s Strong Buying Pressure Solana’s rising prominence is a result of growing institutional flows and an exploding DeFi ecosystem. According to an analyst known as Gum, the key to capitalizing on this trend lies with teams that can build the right infrastructure and services to accommodate this new wave of capital. One of the major winners of this trend is Orca, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana, which has focused on creating a more secure and reliable environment for large-scale investors. Its new Wavebreak launchpad feature is designed to create a fairer environment for new token launches using anti-bot mechanisms, CAPTCHA, and on-chain permission to prioritize human users. By fixing the sniper bots issue and focusing on creating the right DeFi services, Orca is building the on-ramps needed to bring tens of millions of dollars into the SOL on-chain ecosystem. As the accumulation of open contracts grew, SOL experienced a slight upward move, which led to the liquidation of short positions. A recent post by SolanaFloor has confirmed a massive $22 million liquidation of short positions in the last 24 hours, as the token’s price surged above the $200 price mark. Specifically, this event is a clear sign of renewed bullish momentum and that SOL bulls are reentering the market. According to the platform, a substantial portion of these liquidations occurred on on-chain perpetual futures platforms, surpassing centralized exchanges (CEXs).

Hedera Hashgraph’s native token, HBAR, has been under intense selling pressure, recording a 12% decline in the past 30 days and another 10% drop over the past week. The bearish streak has shaken investor confidence, with both social and institutional signals pointing toward continued downside risk. Retail and Institutional Sentiment Weakens for Hedera Data from Santiment shows that HBAR’s social dominance, a measure of how frequently it is discussed compared to other cryptocurrencies, has dropped by 55% in the past month, now sitting at just 0.74%. This decline shows waning retail trader interest, a key driver of momentum during previous bullish cycles. Historically, spikes in social dominance have triggered rallies, but fading discussion often results in lower trading volumes and sluggish recovery. Similarly, Hedera’s Smart Money Index (SMI), which tracks institutional activity during the first and last hours of trading, has fallen to 1.108. This suggests that experienced players are reducing exposure, pushing a cautious short term Hedera investment approach Technical Levels Define Bull and Bear Scenarios From a technical perspective, HBAR trades in a fragile zone. Analysts point to $0.1885 as a critical support level. A decisive move below this threshold could confirm further downside, pushing the token deeper into bearish territory. On the flip side, buyers have a clear recovery path if renewed demand emerges. A rebound above $0.2212 would be the first sign of strength, potentially setting up a move toward $0.2636. These levels are now the key battlegrounds for bulls and bears, with traders closely watching price action for confirmation. Meanwhile, trading volumes remain subdued, reflecting weak participation from both retail and institutional investors. While low volume sometimes precedes a consolidation-based breakout, it also increases the risk of prolonged weakness if demand fails. What Could Trigger an HBAR Recovery? Despite the current bearish narrative, catalysts for a recovery remain in play. Broader crypto market rallies, ecosystem adoption, or positive developments in Hedera’s enterprise partnerships could revive sentiment. Whale accumulation trends have also been noted in recent weeks, suggesting that large investors still see long-term potential in the network. For now, cautious optimism defines the outlook. Traders are advised to monitor $0.1885 support and $0.2212 resistance closely. A sustained break above the latter could mark the beginning of a relief rally, while a loss of support may extend the ongoing decline. Cover image from ChatGPT, HBARUSD chart from Tradingview

SUI Group Holdings moved again in the market, adding 20 million SUI to its holdings and lifting its total to about 102 million tokens, a stash worth roughly $344 million at current prices. The Minnesota-based company, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker SUIG, bought the tokens through an arrangement tied to the Sui Foundation, a press release dated September 3 shows. The deal, reports have disclosed, gives SUI Group access to discounted, locked tokens that are not available on the open market. Crypto Holdings And Staking Most of the company’s close to 102 million SUI is being actively staked, treasury update Shows. That staking currently yields about 2.2% annually. Based on the figures released, staking income translates to roughly $20,000 in daily rewards credited to the treasury. The firm also reported nearly $60 million in liquid cash, a war chest it says will help it pursue more buys of discounted tokens. Investors have a new yardstick to watch: SUI per share. As of September 2 that metric stood at 1.14 SUI per share, calculated against a fully adjusted share count of 89 million common shares outstanding. After the announcement, SUI traded up about 4%, rising from a daily low of $3.20 to as high as $3.40. The token, however, remains well below its January peak of $5.36. Exclusive Deal With Sui Foundation The arrangement with the foundation is central to the story. By purchasing locked SUI at a lower cost, SUI Group creates a cushion between its book value and what retail buyers see on exchanges. That cost-basis advantage was described in the release as a deliberate part of the firm’s plan to grow its treasury while aiming to “fund further purchases” through accretive capital raises. The move resembles how some public companies concentrate an asset on their balance sheet, though it is being done here with tokens rather than traditional holdings. Among The Biggest The coin’s price bump shows the market took the news seriously but did not overheat in response. Reports have noted that holding more than 100 million tokens places the company among the largest single holders in the Sui ecosystem, which naturally draws attention.

An analyst has pointed out how Dogecoin has just seen a short-term buy signal on the same indicator that captured the latest local top in its price. TD Sequential Has Just Formed A Buy Signal For Dogecoin In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a Tom Demark (TD) Sequential signal that has appeared in the hourly price chart of Dogecoin. The TD Sequential is an indicator from technical analysis (TA) that’s used to locate potential reversal points in an asset’s price. The indicator works by counting up candles printed in the same color. These candles may or may not be consecutive. Once nine candles of the same polarity appear, the metric suggests the trend may be nearing exhaustion, and a reversal could occur for the asset. Naturally, where the price would head after the TD Sequential’s setup comes down to the polarity of the preceding nine candles. If the candles were green, the asset may see a bearish turnaround. Similarly, red candles would instead suggest a rebound to the upside. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the quick TD Sequential signals that Dogecoin has formed on the hourly timeframe during the past day: As is visible in the graph, Dogecoin completed a TD Sequential setup in its 1-hour price on Wednesday. The signal came as the memecoin’s price rallied beyond the $0.22 level. Since the setup finished with nine green candles, the indicator implied a potential turnaround to the downside for the asset. And indeed, since the signal, DOGE has seen a pullback. From the chart, it’s apparent that this drawdown has meant that another quick TD Sequential setup has appeared, this one involving nine red candles. Considering that the last signal coincided with a top, this new one may imply a short-term bullish rebound for Dogecoin. It now remains to be seen whether the indicator will hold. In some other news, on-chain data shows DOGE whales are currently not making any major moves, as the analyst has pointed out in another X post. The above chart displays the data of the Supply Distribution from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which is an indicator that tells us about the amount of supply that a particular DOGE wallet segment is holding right now.

The SEC has laid out a packed agenda for the months ahead, and digital assets are getting a lot of attention. Out of twenty new rules in the pipeline, nearly half are focused on crypto. The agency is calling this push Project Crypto, and it shows a clear desire to give structure to an area that has long been filled with uncertainty. This new approach is being led by Chair Paul Atkins, who seems determined to shift away from aggressive enforcement and toward clearer guidance. Issuance and Trading Guidelines Take Shape One of the biggest areas of focus will be on how crypto assets are issued and traded. The SEC wants to create a more transparent path for companies launching tokens, including new exemptions and safe harbors. The idea is to make it easier for legitimate projects to get off the ground while still holding bad actors accountable. There is also a renewed interest in making sure exchanges and trading platforms know exactly how to operate within the law. Changes Ahead for Broker-Dealers in Crypto The agenda also includes updates for broker-dealers, many of whom are currently unsure how to handle digital assets. Proposed tweaks could make it easier for these firms to offer crypto-related services without getting tangled in outdated rules. At the same time, the SEC wants to keep investor protections intact, which means updated disclosure and reporting standards could be part of the deal. These steps are aimed at making the system more functional without lowering the bar for safety.

BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.21T24h7d30d1yAll time Project Crypto Sets the Tone Project Crypto is the formal name for the SEC’s new direction. It builds on earlier recommendations from the White House and aims to create workable rules for custody, classification, and token launches. The project signals that the SEC is ready to stop treating crypto like an outsider and start building a framework that reflects how it’s actually being used. This also means regulators will seek input from developers and builders, not just banks and lawyers.

This new environment could invite more institutional participation while giving startups room to grow without fear of constant pushback. Looking Ahead at What This Means If the SEC follows through on these proposals, it could reshape how digital assets fit into the broader financial system. Instead of playing defense, crypto projects may be able to build with a clear playbook. The rules are not final yet, but the tone has definitely changed. For once, regulators seem ready to work with the industry rather than just warn it.

The UK Treasury has released a new draft aiming to tighten anti-money laundering rules, with crypto firms directly in the spotlight. These proposals are meant to close loopholes that have made it easier for financial risk to go unnoticed. At the same time, the changes are being pitched as practical enough to let businesses keep running without too much disruption. Tighter Oversight of Crypto Ownership and Control One of the biggest changes targets how the Financial Conduct Authority looks at who controls a crypto firm. Right now, the focus is mainly on beneficial owners, which can miss people who actually call the shots. The updated rules expand that definition to include anyone with real authority and require them to meet a “fit and proper” standard. The threshold for reporting a change in control would also drop from 25 percent to 10 percent. That puts crypto firms on the same footing as others in the financial system and gives regulators a better chance to step in early if needed. Source: Shutterstock Stronger Checks on Banking Relationships The proposals also take aim at how crypto firms work with correspondent banks, especially those overseas. These relationships are often the link between crypto businesses and traditional financial networks. The new rules would require crypto firms to do more thorough background checks on these banking partners and avoid working with shell banks altogether. This is meant to reduce the risk of money slipping through poorly regulated systems. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in September2025 More Precision in Customer Risk Checks Customer due diligence is getting a more focused approach, too. Right now, firms often apply enhanced checks across the board just to be safe. The new rules suggest applying only those deeper checks when a transaction is unusually large or complex, or when it involves countries flagged as high risk. The idea is to let firms concentrate their resources where the risk is real, instead of burning time and money on low-risk situations. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.21T24h7d30d1yAll time Greater Transparency for Trusts Trusts linked to crypto firms are also part of the update. The new rules would expand which types of trusts that need to register with the UK’s Trust Registration Service. At the same time, they would ease up on lower-risk setups, like small-value trusts or those used for estates. It’s a move toward better visibility without dragging simple arrangements into unnecessary paperwork. Necessary Updates for Digital Practices There’s also a practical switch in currency. Monetary thresholds are being updated from euros to pounds so they actually reflect how UK businesses operate. Alongside that, new guidance is expected to help firms with digital identity checks, which are becoming more common in compliance workflows. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 A Clear Timeline for Feedback and Action The public has until the end of September to share feedback on the draft. Once that window closes, the rules are expected to head to Parliament early next year. If passed, new guidance will follow to help crypto businesses adjust to the updated framework. Next Steps for the UK Crypto Scene These changes show the UK is moving to treat crypto with the same seriousness as traditional finance. Stronger checks, more transparency, and clearer rules are all part of the direction regulators are heading in. Crypto firms will need to keep pace as the UK locks in a more structured approach to digital asset oversight.

Magnet manufacturer JS Link America announced Thursday it is investing about $223 million to establish a new rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Columbus, Georgia. JS Link’s new manufacturing facility will be located at the Muscogee Technology Park in Columbus. The 130,000-square-foot facility is predicted to have an annual production capacity of 3,000 tons, and the company said it will create approximately 520 new jobs in Muscogee County. JS Link America is a subsidiary of Seoul, Korea based biotechnology company JS Link that specializes in research and development. JS Link is nearing completion on a similar permanent magnet facility in Yesan, Korea, with an anticipated a pilot production run in September and annual capacity of 1,000 tons. Rare earth metals are essential in heavy magnets that power electric vehicles, consumer electronics and military applications, and MP Materials is the only US producer, out of its Mountain Pass mine in California. China dominates the global rare earth industry, controlling the vast majority of the world’s rare earth processing and refining capacity. “JS Link America strengthens Georgia’s role in securing the U.S. supply chain in industries such as aerospace, mobility, and energy,” Governor Brian Kemp said in a statement. “From day one, Georgia’s economic development team, local community leadership in Columbus, and Georgia Power all welcomed JS Link with a pro-business approach. Georgia’s universities with their engineering programs also provide ready-made labor force for JS Link America,” JS Link America CEO Jun Y. Lee added. “JS Link plans to be a part of a value chain focused entirely on Western nations to meet the growing demand for permanent magnets sourced from strategic allies such as Korea. This new chain will cover the entire process, from the procurement of essential rare-earth materials to the final manufacturing of the magnets.” The 130,000-square-foot facility is predicted to have an annual production capacity of 3,000 tons. Operations are expected to begin in late 2027. Operations are expected to begin in late 2027, the company said.

CRYPTOWZRD, in a recent market update, noted that XRP ended the session with an indecisive close, signaling uncertainty in the short term. According to the analyst, the key lies in XRPBTC—once it begins to move bullish, XRP could quickly ignite an impulsive upside rally. Symmetrical Triangle On XRPBTC Points To Upside Potential In expanding his analysis, CRYPTOWZRD emphasized that both the daily candle of XRP and XRPBTC closed indecisively, leaving traders on edge about the next major move. He pointed out that the relationship between Bitcoin dominance and XRPBTC could be a decisive factor. Should Bitcoin dominance weaken further, it would likely give XRPBTC the strength it needs to move bullishly and trigger a breakout from its symmetrical triangle formation. According to CRYPTOWZRD, this potential breakout in XRPBTC is critical because it would naturally extend to XRP’s price action. Such a scenario could provide the fuel needed for XRP to shift out of consolidation and begin a more impulsive upside run. The analyst further noted that if XRP turns bullish, it would not only trigger momentum but also allow the asset to break out of its daily lower-high trendline. This move, he explained, would come from a double-bottom formation visible on the daily chart. With these confluences aligning, the technical setup appears increasingly favorable for a strong push to the upside. CRYPTOWZRD highlighted $3.65 as the next significant resistance level to watch. A decisive breakout above this point would mark a pivotal moment for XRP, as it would pave the way for a new all-time high. To stay ahead of the move, CRYPTOWZRD concluded that his focus will remain on lower-time frame chart formations for now, allowing him to spot quick scalp opportunities. XRP Stuck in Sideways Action: Key Resistance In Focus Giving his final verdict, CRYPTOWZRD revealed that the intraday chart of XRP is currently moving sideways, showing no clear direction in the short term. He explained that the $2.94 level remains the key resistance zone to watch, as it could dictate whether momentum shifts in favor of the bulls. According to the expert, a decisive move above the $2.94 resistance would open the door for a strong long opportunity. He added that he intends to take advantage of that setup, but only if Bitcoin’s market structure supports the idea, reinforcing the importance of broader market conditions. However, CRYPTOWZRD cautioned that if XRP continues to hold below the $2.94 level, more sideways volatility is likely in the near term. In this case, patience will be essential, as the market would need more time to mature before offering the next reliable trading opportunity.

Uranium is a crucial source of clean, reliable baseload power as nuclear energy, powered by uranium, generates electricity without emitting greenhouse gases during operation. When we look at resources through the lens of geopolitical Spheres of Control, the story is telling. Thanks to Australia and Canada, the Coalition of the Willing commands a dominant 44% share of the world’s uranium resources. This strong position means the West is well endowed with the mineralization it needs to fuel nuclear power for decades to come—if it can move past public resistance that is often a result of legacy impacts from unregulated past practices than in rational assessment of nuclear energy’s current strong safety record.
