Cryptocurrencies are volatile investment assets, in case people forget. After multiple weeks of sensational rallying, particularly in altcoins, Cryptocurrencies have started to find some profit-taking from their renewed highs. Bitcoin originally led the way higher, marking its own ATH towards the last days of July (initially around $123,200). Hence, a $10,000 consolidation range followed, creating perfect conditions for altcoins to catch up—and Ethereum did not lose the opportunity, rising up to 33% in 12 days. Multiple headwinds had caused Cryptos to surge higher: between the US opening investment and regulations for institutions and the masses to invest much more freely in digital assets, the 2025 USD fall prompting diversification (especially if you add the increasing global government deficits), and a huge appetite for risk assets amid the AI/Tech boom, there was a lot to digest for people not exposed to cryptos. But this morning, some bad news knocked at the door of investors: Tariff-led inflation is starting to appear in the data. This morning's PPI report has scared markets, but equities are holding decently well compared to cryptos. For those who have not seen the preceding cycles, cryptocurrencies, being volatile and one of the most recent asset classes, tend to be sold off in advance, particularly as market levels and positioning reach some extreme form. It doesn't mean that the Bull market is over yet, but there are some signs of hesitancy from Market participants. Expect volatility to rise. and stay high.

Prices are currently entering the $116,000 to $117,500 Pivot Zone and with the MA 50, it will be key to watch if some dip buyers enter.

Dogecoin’s bullish momentum is putting short positions under pressure as the price eyes a crucial $0.27 retest. A successful breakout above this level could spark a powerful multi-stage rally, opening the door to higher targets and renewed market excitement. DOGE/USDT Clears $0.2533 Resistance With Conviction GemXBT, in a recent update on X, highlighted that DOGE/USDT is showing a bullish trend after breaking above the key resistance level at $0.2533 with strong upward momentum. This breakout signals renewed buying pressure, as the price pushes beyond a level that had capped recent advances. The move suggests bulls are gaining control and could be preparing for further upside if momentum holds. According to the update, the 5-day moving average (5MA) has crossed above both the 10-day and 20-day moving averages. Such crossovers often reinforce the continuation of an uptrend, especially when supported by other confirming indicators. Volume has also been increasing alongside the price rise. Higher trading activity at elevated price levels shows that demand is growing, adding credibility to the upward move. This combination of technical strength and volume support positions Dogecoin for potentially sustained gains. However, GemXBT also noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching overbought levels, while the MACD is in positive divergence. These conditions suggest there is still room for more upside, but they also warrant caution for possible short-term pullbacks. Cup & Handle Emerges: A Textbook Bullish Signal For Dogecoin Examining the daily chart, RISK highlighted that Dogecoin is forming a classic cup-and-handle pattern, one of the most reliable bullish formations in technical analysis. Following a deep, rounded recovery from the June lows, the price is once again testing the $0.27 resistance zone, a level that has repeatedly capped previous rallies. The handle portion of the pattern is taking shape with controlled pullbacks and reduced trading volume. This behavior typically signals that sellers are gradually running out of steam while buyers quietly build positions. Such consolidation often precedes a breakout, as the market transitions from profit-taking to renewed buying pressure. If DOGE manages to break and close above the $0.27 resistance zone, the technical structure suggests that momentum could accelerate sharply. In this case, bullish targets would likely extend toward $0.31, then $0.39, and potentially $0.50 or higher as confidence grows among traders. For now, the broader outlook remains bullish as long as the series of higher lows on the chart stays intact. With the breakout scenario still firmly in play, Dogecoin is positioned for a strong upward move should buyers push it past the $0.27 key resistance barrier.

Orla Mining (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) said US authorities formally started the federal environmental impact process for the company’s South Railroad gold project in Nevada. The decision by the US Bureau of Land Management, dated Thursday, opens public scoping until Sept. 12 under the National Environmental Policy Act, according to a company statement. Orla, which expects to receive all required state and federal permits within 12 months, is targeting first gold in early 2028. “South Railroad is the next pillar in Orla’s organic growth strategy toward annual gold production of 500,000 ounces,” CEO Jason Simpson said in a Thursday press release. “We will work with our cooperating agencies to fast-track the timeline to onsite construction start, and ultimately first gold production.” Located 700 km northeast of Las Vegas, South Railroad is a low-complexity, feasibility-stage heap leach project. Orla is to update South Carlin’s mineral resource, reserve estimate and feasibility study before the end of the year. Orla’s Toronto-traded shares were up C$0.12 at C$13.50 in early afternoon trades Thursday. Project fast-track The South Carlin Complex covers 250 sq. km hectares on Nevada’s Carlin Trend, offering potential for resource growth and new discoveries. Detailed project engineering is underway, and long-lead equipment orders will begin this year to de-risk development ahead of expected final permits late next year. Orla says it has secured enough sage grouse credits and outlined plans to secure water rights for construction, operations, and reclamation. Mexico slide The Vancouver-based miner’s progress in Nevada comes as it works to rebound from a disruption in Mexico. On July 23, a rockslide on the north wall of the Camino Rojo oxide pit forced a halt to in-pit mining. Orla plans a 50–80-metre pushback to remove about 9 million tonnes of mainly oxidized ore grading 0.74 grams gold per tonne, which will be crushed and stacked on the leach pad. While no material was lost, the resequencing prompted Orla to trim the current production forecast to 265,000–285,000 oz. at all-in sustaining costs of $1,350–$1,550 per oz., down from 280,000–300,000 ounces. The impact is weighted to this year, after second-quarter production hit a company record 77,811 ounces. That included 52,666 oz. from Northern Ontario’s Musselwhite mine in its first full quarter under Orla. Exploration angle Orla also reported this month strong exploration results from Camino Rojo’s Zone 22, the vertical and down-plunge continuation of the sulphide deposit. A 15,000-metre infill program finished on July 18 found high-grade intercepts outside current resource panels. This includes 1.4 metres at 142 grams gold per tonne from a depth of 1,346 metres in hole CRSX24-36D. Another hole, CRSX25-47B, returned 10.5 metres at 0.4 grams gold per tonne from 1,071.5 metres depth, while hole CRSX25-50A returned 11.6 metres at 4.77 grams gold per tonne from 843 metres down. Orla has added 5,000 meters of drilling for the second half of the year. It’s also proposing an exploration drift, which will allow for closer underground drilling next year, pending permits. Zone 22 represents only 7% of the project’s indicated underground gold-equivalent resources. Any additional tonnes could greatly impact the mining method choices for the planned 2026 preliminary economic assessment. “The Zone 22 infill program has delivered consistent high-grade results, strengthening our resource model and reinforcing Zone 22 as key to Camino Rojo’s underground potential,” senior vice-president for exploration Sylvain Guerard said in an Aug. 7 news release. “With mineralization still open, we see strong upside for further growth.”

The US may offer Russia access to its critical minerals alongside other economic incentives in an effort to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, according to The Telegraph. The British paper reported on Wednesday evening that US President Donald Trump is prepared to let Moscow tap into its natural resources in Alaska and lift some sanctions on Russia’s aerospace industry. Another key element of the proposal is granting Kremlin access to rare earth deposits in Ukrainian territories currently under Russian occupation. The deal will likely be presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin during an upcoming meeting in Anchorage, says The Telegraph. The meeting, scheduled for Aug. 15, represents the first between the nations’ leaders since Trump’s re-election in 2024. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is said to be coordinating the economic package, which could involve joint mining ventures to speed up the development of mineral deposits in Ukraine. The Eastern European nation is said to host significant deposits of critical minerals, most of which are unexplored. The Ukrainian Geological Survey estimates that its critical minerals account for 5% of the world’s total. Amongst the most prominent are graphite, with 19 million tonnes in reserves, and lithium, for which it holds about a third of Europe’s endowment. Other key minerals featured in the state agency database are copper, lead, zinc, silver, nickel, cobalt, manganese and rare earth elements. In addition to minerals on the ground, the US deal could also involve giving Russia development rights in the oil and gas-rich Bering Strait, a region estimated to hold 13% of the world’s oil reserves. UK officials told The Telegraph that the proposed measures may be acceptable to European leaders — many of whom had expressed concerns over Ukraine’s exclusion from the summit. Ahead of the summit, Trump told Fox News Radio that no comprehensive peace deal will happen without Ukraine’s participation. Meanwhile, European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have strongly opposed any agreement that sidelines Ukraine or requires it to cede territory. Earlier this week, Trump held a video call with Zelensky and other European leaders, emphasizing that securing a ceasefire is the top priority of his meeting with Putin.

GBPUSD has retreated from a key swing high as US PPI data came in hot during the US session. The data saw a downward revision to rate cut bets by market participants and thus offering the US Dollar support. Hot US PPI Data. A sign of Things to Come? In July, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose by 0.9% compared to the previous month, which had no change. On a yearly basis, PPI increased by 3.3%, higher than the expected 2.5% and up from June's 2.3%. Core PPI, which helps calculate the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, jumped 3.7% annually, a big rise from June's 2.6%. The report shows that companies are passing tariff costs onto customers. The reason this has not yet been felt by consumers or reflected in the CPI could be two fold. It could be that the costs have not filtered through on the consumer side yet and we will see an uptick in the months ahead. The other reason could be that the increases here could be offset by declines in other areas when calculating the CPI number. Either way, today's data adds a new dimension to discussions and comments yesterday by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who said companies are absorbing the tariffs. For more on this, read US Dollar Index (DXY) at Risk of Freefall. Key Confluence Level In Play Additional data boosted the Dollar, as Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending August 9 came in at 224K, better than the forecast of 228K and the previous 226K. Continuing Claims, which had raised concerns about a slowing job market, dropped slightly from 1.964 million to 1.953 million. UK Posts Reasonable GDP Number in the Face of Headwinds The UK’s 0.3% growth in the second quarter seems decent, especially after the stronger 0.7% in the first quarter, which was boosted by US tariff changes and a stamp duty deadline. A strong June and revised April data helped lift the numbers. However, the growth isn’t as solid as it seems. Much of it came from government spending on vaccinations and volatile factors like inventories, while household spending and business investment were weaker than earlier in the year. The Bank of England isn’t putting much weight on these figures, noting that the economy barely grew in the first quarter despite strong GDP numbers. Growth has also tended to be stronger in the first half of the year and weaker in the second, possibly due to issues with how the data is adjusted. Despite the concerns by the Bank of England, the latest LSEG data has markets only pricing in only 15 bps cuts through to year end. If this comes to fruition and we get two more rate cuts from the Fed, GBP/USD could be in for further gains as the year progresses. Given that this is data dependent and ever evolving i would suggest caution and paying close attention to the data and rate cut expectations for both Central Banks moving forward. US Data Ahead The week draws to a close with some high impact US data which could stoke some volatility. Retail sales will give a glimpse to consumer demand but the bigger one could be the Michigan Consumer Sentiment data. It will be interesting to see where survey respondents see inflation expectations over the 12 months in particular.

(click to enlarge) Technical Analysis - GBP/USD GBP/USD has been on a tear since bottoming out on August 1, after the surprising jobs data. The move higher has been swift as rate cut bets added further fuel to the rally. A sign of the momentum is evident in the fact that we have had one bearish day in the last 9 trading days. The swing high at 1.3584 was a significant level which started the initial aggressive selling we saw in the last week of July. Today it appeared as though GBP/USD was on its way to break this level which would have confirmed a change in character and put bulls firmly in charge. The rejection has however proved to be a timely one, keeping the bearish trend intact. The next move is however a mystery. Price is currently approaching the key pivot at the 1.3500 handle, with a candle close below opening up a retest of support at 1.3380. A break above the 1.3584 handle brings the resistance handle around the 1.3700 handle into focus.

The XRP price has broken out of a 7-year Double Bottom pattern, signaling what analysts predict could be the start of a major long-term rally. According to reports, a breakout and successful retest of this long-standing chart pattern could set the stage for a massive surge toward $36, ultimately repeating the bull rally seen during the 2014-2017 cycle. XRP Price Eyes $36 After Double Bottom Breakout Crypto analyst Gert van Lagen has drawn attention to a rare and potentially explosive technical event currently unfolding on the two-week XRP price chart. According to his analysis posted on X social media, XRP has successfully broken out of a massive 7-year Double Bottom formation—a pattern that typically signals long-term reversal from bearish to bullish market conditions. Based on the analyst’s chart, XRP had breached the neckline of this Double Bottom pattern after years of accumulation, following up its momentum with a textbook retest that confirmed the breakout. This retest, occurring at a critical price point, has historically acted as the final validation before a sustained rally. Lagen has also compared the current cycle with that of the 2014-2017 phase, indicating that XRP’s price action could be repeating similar strong bullish patterns that emerged during that period. The chart suggests that XRP is poised to clear its former all-time high of $3.84, potentially removing one of the most significant technical barriers in its history. With the resistance level now flipped into support, Lagen’s price projection points to an initial target of approximately $36. This level aligns with the 2.00 Fibonacci Extension of the Double Bottom pattern. Notably, the expert’s analysis implies that XRP’s current momentum is not just a short-term spike, but likely the early stages of a multi-month, possibly multi-year climb. If the structure follows past patterns and continues to play out as Lagen predicts, XRP could be on track to deliver one of its strongest bull runs since the 2017 rally. XRP Mirrors Ethereum’s 2017 Breakout Pattern In a separate bullish analysis, a crypto analyst identified as ‘Shibo’ on X compared XRP’s present market behavior to Ethereum’s historic breakout in 2017. His side-by-side chart shows an almost identical technical progression involving an extended consolidation phase forming a base, followed by a decisive breakout at a clearly defined resistance level. In Ethereum’s case, this move triggered an extraordinary rally from sub-$20 levels to more than $1,400 in under twelve months, marking one of the most explosive advances in crypto history. Shibo argues that XRP is now positioned in the same “breakout zone” that the ETH price occupied before its parabolic surge. Based on this chart historical pattern, the analyst has forecasted a rather ambitious price target for XRP. He believes that the cryptocurrency could see a massive surge to $589, representing an eye-watering increase of 18,084%.

The United States signaled a renewed interest in partnering with Pakistan on critical minerals and hydrocarbons, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighting the potential for joint economic ventures in a statement marking Pakistan’s Independence Day. The announcement comes amid a thaw in Washington–Islamabad relations and follows a recent trade agreement that Pakistan says will lower tariffs and attract greater US investment. Pakistan’s Commerce Minister Jam Kamal indicated that US companies will be offered opportunities in Balochistan’s mining sector, including lease concessions and joint venture arrangements with local firms. Balochistan and the Reko Diq advantage Balochistan hosts some of Pakistan’s most significant mining assets, among them Reko Diq, one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits. Operated by Barrick Gold (NYSE: B) in partnership with the governments of Pakistan and Balochistan, the project is forecast to generate over $70 billion in free cash flow and $90 billion in operating cash flow across its lifespan. A recent feasibility study expanded throughput expectations: Phase 1: Increased from 40 to 45 million tonnes per year, now estimated to cost $5.6 billion (up from $4 billion). Phase 2: Will process 90 million tonnes annually (up from 80 million). The mine’s operating life was adjusted from 42 years down to 37 years, though untapped mineral resources could stretch that to as much as 80 years. Production is targeted for 2028, with Phase 1 financing currently under negotiation with multiple international lenders. The renewed focus on Pakistan’s mineral wealth aligns with US efforts to diversify critical mineral supply chains, traditionally dominated by China. This policy shift is occurring as relations between Washington and Islamabad improve, following years of strain over Afghanistan and US strategic alignment with India. Moody’s upgrade signals financial stability In a parallel development, Moody’s Ratings upgraded Pakistan’s credit rating from Caa2 to Caa1 with a stable outlook, citing improved financial stability supported by IMF lending. Analysts expect Pakistan to meet external debt obligations in the near term, though the country’s debt affordability remains one of the weakest among rated sovereigns. The upgrade has already buoyed Pakistan’s dollar bonds, further supporting Islamabad’s case for attracting large-scale mining and infrastructure investment. (With files from Reuters and Bloomberg)

Equinox Gold (TSX, NYSE-A: EQX) surged to its highest in over three years after reporting second-quarter earnings results that beat analyst estimates while offering a positive outlook on the rest of the financial year. For the three months ended June 30, the Canadian gold miner produced a total of 150,849 oz. across its operations, representing a 23% increase over last year and 4% higher than the previous quarter. This output excludes contributions from the Nicaragua operations and the Pan mine in Nevada that it acquired from Calibre during the quarter. The strong Q2 results, says Equinox CEO Darren Hall, are led by the Greenstone mine in Ontario, where mining rates increased 23% and processing rates improved 20% over the first quarter. The higher production, coupled with a higher realized gold price of $3,207/oz., lifted Equinox’s quarterly revenue by nearly 78% and reversed its adjusted net income from a $46.4 million loss last year to a $56.7 million profit. On a per-share basis, the net earnings came to $0.11, easily beating analysts’ consensus of $0.02 a share. Following the Q2 results, shares of Equinox jumped as much as 13% to C$10.75 apiece, the highest since April 2022. By 11:30 a.m. ET, the stock traded at C$10.59, with a market capitalization sitting just over the C$8 billion ($5.8 billion) mark. BMO Capital, on the back of the new quarterly results, has raised its price target for Equinox to C$13 a share from C$11.50 previously. Strong second half In the Thursday release, Hall said Equinox is now entering a pivotal phase of growth and is expecting a strong second half of the year as it continues to ramp-up operations at Greenstone. The mine, which entered commercial production in November 2024, is expected to become one of Canada’s largest open-pit gold mines once in full production, averaging 330,000 oz. of production a year. The company will also have full-quarter contributions from the newly acquired Calibre assets, which had 71,743 oz. of production prior to the transaction close. “If the Calibre transaction had been effective from January 1, 2025, our pro-forma consolidated revenue for the first half would have been approximately $1.33 billion,” Hall said. Following the acquisition, Equinox issued in June a new full-year guidance of 785,000-915,000 oz., which it expects to meet. However, the Castle Mountain and Los Filos mines, with a combined 3,470 oz. of output last quarter, were excluded. Also not included in this guidance is the Valentine mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, which is expected to enter production in the third quarter. According to Hall, this quarter will be an “inflection point” for the company, driven by “full-quarter contribution from the Calibre assets, first ore processed at Valentine and continued improvement at Greenstone.”

Bitcoin surged to a fresh all-time high of $124,500 just hours ago, but the celebration was short-lived as the price quickly retraced to the $121,500 level. The sudden pullback has split market opinion: some analysts interpret the drop as a sign of waning momentum, while others see it as a healthy pause before another breakout attempt. Adding to the intrigue, key data from CryptoQuant reveals that BTC volatility — measured by the 30-day Price High & Low metric — has compressed to its lowest point in two years. This metric tracks the range between Bitcoin’s rolling 30-day high and low, and its current tight squeeze suggests a rare balance between supply and demand. Liquidity has been clustering above local highs near $120K and below recent lows around $113K, creating a coiled-spring effect in the price structure. Historically, such volatility compression phases often precede significant range expansions. The question now is whether Bitcoin will break upward, continuing its long-term bull trend, or slip into a deeper correction if selling pressure gains traction. With the market sitting near record highs and volatility at multi-year lows, traders are bracing for what could be the next decisive move in Bitcoin’s 2025 rally. Bitcoin Volatility Compression Signals Imminent Move According to top analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin’s 30-day Price High & Low metric is showing one of its tightest readings in years. The range between BTC’s rolling 30-day high and low has narrowed significantly, while the bands themselves — representing the rolling maximum and minimum prices — have compressed tightly around the current price. This pattern is a textbook sign of volatility contraction. Adler explains that such compression typically reflects a balance between supply and demand and a period of low realized volatility. In this phase, liquidity tends to concentrate just above local highs, currently around $120,000, and just below local lows, near $113,000. This creates a situation where price movement is contained within a narrow band, with traders positioning themselves on both sides in anticipation of the next breakout. The coming days will be critical in determining Bitcoin’s short-term structure. If BTC can break above the $120K–$124K zone, it could trigger another leg higher in its uptrend. However, a breakdown below $113K would increase the risk of a deeper correction, potentially shifting market sentiment. Price Analysis: Testing Critical Resistance Zone On the 8-hour chart, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $121,596, down slightly by 0.14% after hitting $122,609 earlier in the session. The move comes just a day after BTC briefly broke above the key $123,217 resistance level, approaching the $124,000 psychological barrier before pulling back. This zone remains the most significant obstacle for bulls, as it has capped upward moves multiple times. Price action shows BTC maintaining a bullish structure above its major moving averages — the 50 SMA ($116,948), 100 SMA ($117,653), and 200 SMA ($112,495). This alignment signals continued strength in the medium term, with the 50 SMA acting as immediate dynamic support. The repeated tests of the $123K area suggest that market liquidity is heavily concentrated here. A decisive breakout and sustained close above $124K would likely trigger momentum buying and open the door to new all-time highs. Conversely, a failure to reclaim $123K could lead to renewed selling pressure, with initial support at $120K and deeper support near the $117K–$118K range.

This morning's massive beat in the Producer Price Index (PPI) sent markets rattling as we get to see the first real effects of tariffs-led inflation on data. You can access the details of the PPI report right here. The US Dollar is strengthening from the higher yields and lower rate cut expectations, particularly as it stands around the lows of its ascending channel – Take a quick look at the Dollar Index chart: Dollar Index (DXY) Daily Chart, August 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Canada hasn't seen particularly outstanding data in the past few months and has largely been following the US Dollar in the ongoing regional trend in Forex: Currencies have been moving in relative tandem where APAC currencies would mostly be moving together, same for European currencies, et cetera. That is making the Loonie relatively weaker, particularly after getting dragged down by a weaker USD since the beginning of August – EURCAD is for example back towards the high 1.60s after a failed lower-break attempt. Let's have a look at the North-American pair by excellence, the USDCAD to spot our edge for upcoming trading.

However, we could see a head and shoulders pattern developing, which would take the pair to a test of its August 1st highs. Sellers have stepped in to bring the pair back into the range – Look at a daily close above 1.38050 for higher odds of continuation. On the other hand, bears would like to see a close below 1.38; a push below 1.3750 would invalidate the Head and Shoulders and would tilt the momentum a bit more bearish.

On 14 August 2025, Binance reopened access to its suite of “Earn” products for eligible users in the UK following regulatory approval. Binance’s ongoing compliance reset is to mainly restore access to its full range of Binance Earn offerings for qualifying UK investors. “Professional investors in the UK have been asking for access to our Earn products, and we are excited that today we can deliver that in full compliance with local regulations,” a Binance spokesperson said. “These are sophisticated clients who understand the asset class and want innovative, flexible tools to grow and manage their crypto portfolios.” Binance’s move reverses restrictions introduced during a prolonged period of regulatory tightening in the UK that caused crypto promotions and product lines to be curtailed. So what does the reopening suggest? Binance has implemented required consumer-protection and marketing compliance measures to align with the UK rules. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August 2025 UK Is Tough Jurisdiction For Crypto Marketing Rules The UK has been a rather tough jurisdiction, specially for crypto marketing rules, after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) introduced strict “financial requirements” in 2023. This impacted feature availability across major exchanges. Earn products such as savings, staking, and other yield-related offering had been limited or halted for UK users. This affected retail participation. “Staking is unique because it’s not just about returns,” the Binance spokesperson said. “It’s about alignment. Professional investors see it as a way to actively contribute to the long-term success of the networks they believe in, while earning yields that can outperform traditional fixed-income products.” DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 UK to Cap Bank Crypto Holdings at 1% by 2026 The Bank of England is setting the stage for a big change in how British banks interact with cryptocurrencies. Starting in 2026, banks will face new limits on how much digital asset exposure they can take on. The move is part of a wider push to reduce risk and keep the traditional financial system from being rattled by crypto’s ups and downs. Transparency is an important part of the Bank of England crypto framework, with banks required to disclose their crypto activity in detail. David Bailey, director of prudential policy at the Bank of England, explained the thinking behind the restrictions. In short, volatile assets like Bitcoin are too unpredictable to form a big chunk of a bank’s portfolio. Bailey called for a “conservative approach,” saying banks need to manage crypto in a way that protects both themselves and their customers. Read More: Bank of England Crypto Rules Set 1% Cap for 2026 Key Takeaways The relaunch underscores Binance’s strategy to re-enter key markets by meeting local regulatory expectations, a continuation of its broader efforts to standardize compliance after a turbulent 2023–2024 marked by leadership changes, settlements, and jurisdiction-specific restrictions. The FCA’s financial promotions regime for crypto, enforced from October 2023, introduced obligations around approved promotions, fair and clear communications, prominent risk warnings, and enhanced investor protections such as cooling-off periods for first-time retail customers.

Bitcoin fell sharply Thursday after the US Treasury made clear it will not add to a planned Bitcoin reserve through new purchases. Prices had earlier rallied to an intraday high near $124,120, but traders saw gains reverse and the token backpedaled to around $118,550 later in the session. Markets were jittery, and parts of the crypto futures market saw forced liquidations during the sell-off. Treasury Rules Out New Buys According to reports, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business the government will not be buying additional Bitcoin for the reserve and that future additions will come from confiscated assets. “We’re not going to be buying that,” he said, and he added the Treasury would “stop selling” holdings it already controls. Bessent estimated the reserve’s current value at somewhere between $15 billion and $20 billion. The comments stand in relief to an earlier move by US President Donald Trump, who issued an executive order asking for budget-neutral plans to grow strategic Bitcoin holdings. Market Reaction And Price Swings Based on reports, the sell-off erased a chunk of Thursday’s gains. One feed showed Bitcoin drop from about $121,050 to $117,201 within an hour, while other data points put the low near $118,460. Trading platforms recorded a wave of liquidations estimated at roughly $450 million around the same time. Traders said the sudden shift was driven by the clarity in policy — investors had been pricing a possible government buyback program into earlier optimism, and that expectation faded after Bessent’s remarks. Macroeconomic Signals And Tariff Revenue Reports have also disclosed that Bessent linked some balance-sheet plans to rising tariff collections, saying July brought nearly $30 billion in tariff revenues. Bessent suggested annual tariff receipts could top a previous projection of $300 billion, a figure he said could help fund other asset strategies. The timing of his comments also came as US data showed the Producer Price Index rising 3.3% year-on-year and 0.9% month-on-month for July, numbers that add to the broader economic backdrop investors are watching. Confiscated Assets Versus Direct Purchases The Treasury secretary’s note that confiscated assets will be used to grow the reserve shifts the funding model away from direct Treasury buys. For now, that means any further increase in the reserve would be gradual and dependent on law enforcement recoveries rather than market purchases. Market participants said that stance removes a clear, predictable buyer from the market, which can make price swings larger over short windows — exactly what traders saw on Thursday.

SharpLink is rapidly positioning itself as a leader in corporate Ethereum holdings. The company is accelerating its accumulation strategy at unprecedented speed. Combined with its existing ETH holdings, the company might be on track to outpace every other ETH treasury holder in both speed and scale. Why SharpLink’s Ethereum Strategy Could Redefine Corporate Treasuries In an X post, CryptoGucci shared a short clip of Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin’s recent remarks about SharpLink Gaming. Lubin believes that the company isn’t just participating in the race, but it’s about to lap the competition. According to Lubin, SharpLink Gaming (SBET) has rapidly emerged as one of the largest ETH accumulators on the planet, leveraging a strategy that goes far beyond simply holding ETH. The company actively manages its treasury to maximize productivity through staking, restaking, and compounding into some of the most powerful DeFi yield opportunities available. What sets SharpLink apart is its direct backing from the ETH company itself, which is a massive advantage that few competitors can claim. This relationship provides strategic alignment, insider insight, and access to key infrastructure, positioning SharpLink to move faster and more efficiently than any other treasury operator. The company is managed by some of the best DeFi investors in the world, combining institutional discipline with native crypto expertise. SharpLink’s approach is straightforward yet powerful. The process involves accumulating more ETH than anyone else, deploying it intelligently across high-yield opportunities, and generating steady returns while compounding for the long term. Why Ethereum Is Emerging As The Institutional Protocol Ethereum is gaining mainstream recognition at the institutional level. CryptoGucci has also shared a post where Cathie Wood, the founder and CIO of ARK Invest, laid out a bullish case for why Ethereum is becoming the institutional protocol of choice, which has captured the attention of the crypto and institutional investment communities. Wood highlighted that major infrastructure developments are signaling ETH dominance. Coinbase L2 is built on ETH, Robinhood L2 leverages ETH, and the ongoing stablecoin that is predominantly occurring on the ETH network. Unlike Bitcoin treasuries, ETH treasuries offer both utility and staking opportunities, while creating a more productive institutional asset. ETH may carry slightly higher costs and operate at a slower speed than some alternatives, but its decentralization and security make it the most resilient and reliable choice for institutional adoption. This foundational robustness is enabling ARK ETFs to take their first substantial positions in ETH, while marking a pivotal moment for institutional adoption. ARK has also strategically invested in Tom Lee’s BitMine (BMNR), which is currently the largest ETH treasury in the world, while signaling an alignment between traditional investment strategies and Ethereum-based infrastructure. Wood concluded that the foundation of the next financial system is being laid out in real time, and it’s all happening on ETH.

Gold prices slumped on Thursday as hotter-than-expected US inflation data and a drop in jobless claims slashed the odds of a supersized rate cut next month. Spot gold fell 0.3% to around $3,344 an ounce by 10:30 a.m. ET, while US gold futures were 0.4% lower at about $3,394 an ounce in New York. Click on chart for live prices. Gold’s decline comes after the Labor Department reported a 3.3% year-on-year rise in the producer price index last month, surpassing forecasts of 2.5%. Weekly jobless claims also came in lower than expected, at 224,000 versus 228,000 forecast. Both the US dollar index and benchmark 10-year yields responded positively to the data, denting the appeal of gold. “Gold trades lower as the stronger-than-expected US PPI print may lower rate cut hopes (expectations) as they feed into a higher Core PCE inflation print for July as well, likely keeping the Federal Reserve cautious on rate cuts,” Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy, said in a note to Reuters. A stronger US wholesale price data also tempered bets on a larger, half-point cut next month. Traders are now leaning toward a quarter-point move with another in October, reinforcing comments from Fed’s Mary Daly that such a large cut is not needed. Earlier in the day, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the US central bank to be aggressive on cutting rates, suggesting that the benchmark rate should be at least 150 basis points lower than it is now. “Overall, the print does not alter our bullish view on gold as the Fed eventually will have to choose between fighting inflation or supporting the economy,” Hansen said. One of the year’s top-performing assets, gold has risen by nearly 30% in 2025, with the bulk of those gains occurring in the first four months. The metal has been supported by heightened geopolitical and trade tensions that have spurred haven demand, as well as expectations of lower interest rates. (With files from Reuters)

China’s Ganfeng Lithium and Switzerland-based Lithium Argentina (TSX, NYSE: LAR) agreed this week to merge their assets in Argentina’s Salta province into a single large-scale lithium operation. The new PPG joint venture combines Ganfeng’s wholly owned Pozuelos–Pastos Grandes project with Lithium Argentina’s 85%-owned Pastos Grandes and 65%-owned Sal de la Puna projects. Ownership will be split 67% for Ganfeng and 33% for Lithium Argentina, based on resources, capital contributions, and technology inputs. “This alliance will provide access to advanced technologies, greater financial flexibility and significant operational synergies,” Lithium Argentina president and chief executive Sam Pigott said in the statement. He added that it would strengthen the company’s global lithium supply chain strategy. Three phases The merged operation aims to produce up to 150,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in three phases of 50,000 tonnes each. The $1.8 billion already invested covers wells, pilot evaporation ponds, production facilities, and accommodations for over 2,000 workers. Ganfeng will provide a $130 million, six-year loan to Lithium Argentina at an interest rate tied to a U.S. benchmark plus 2.5%, secured against its stake. Ganfeng can also buy up to half of Lithium Argentina’s initial output, capped at 6,000 tonnes annually, at market prices. Hybrid model The PPG venture plans a hybrid production model that combines direct lithium extraction with traditional solar evaporation. The approach could blend the efficiency of modern technology with the proven reliability of evaporation, potentially mitigating the downsides of each method. The companies already work together at the Cauchari – Olaroz mine in Jujuy province. Their latest move comes as global markets react to supply news from China, where CATL, the world’s largest EV battery maker, halted production at its Jianxiawo mine in Yichun after its permit expired. The mine accounts for about 6% of global lithium supply, and its closure has pushed international prices higher, easing fears of a glut.

Meme coins have spent most of their existence in the crypto market as retail-driven and hype-fueled, swinging from moonshot highs to brutal pullbacks in a matter of hours. But this year is beginning to look different. Institutional players are circling, looking for ways to package meme exposure in regulated, exchange-traded formats. That shift is significant. More liquidity can lead to larger price swings in either direction. However, it also strengthens the position of projects with strong narratives, engaged communities, or genuine utility to break out. And while mainstream finance still treats most meme coins as a joke, some of the biggest asset managers are now lining them up for ETFs. One of the clearest signs of that shift just came with the announcement of the Canary Capital Trump Coin ETF. If meme coin ETFs begin launching, the top meme coins – including TOKEN6900 ($T6900) – might be in a good position to benefit from the surge. Canary Capital Bets on $TRUMP On August 13, digital assets and fund manager Canary Capital registered the Canary Trump Coin ETF in Delaware, indicating plans to launch a spot ETF linked to the Solana-based meme coin. If filed and approved, it would join a small queue of US spot meme coin ETF applications that already include $DOGE, $BONK, and $PENGU. Most ETFs still focus on $BTC and $ETH, so targeting a smaller, high-volatility meme coin is an uncommon move. In March, Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg framed altcoin ETFs as a bet on undervalued digital assets that institutions do not yet price in, in an interview with CryptoSlate. Approval would not guarantee calmer markets, but it could widen liquidity, improve price discovery, and bring authorized participants into a niche that has lived on pure spot volumes. Meme coin ETFs could see the market explode due to the added liquidity and attention. With that in mind, here are three tokens worth keeping an eye on: 1. TOKEN6900 ($T6900) – Pure Meme Chaos TOKEN6900 ($T6900) takes the idea of a meme coin and strips it back to its most absurd core. There’s no roadmap, no utility, and no lofty promises. Just pure, weaponized internet humor. Priced at $0.00695, the presale recently reached the $2M mark, with early buyers earning 34% APY through staking. The project riffs on the success of SPX6900, but adds one extra token to the supply – making it “objectively superior” in meme logic. In a market where even ETFs are circling meme coins, $T6900 leans into the chaos instead of trying to justify itself with fake fundamentals. If meme coin ETFs spark a broader speculative frenzy, TOKEN6900’s unapologetic brand of nonsense might be exactly the kind of story that catches on. Check out the TOKEN6900 ($T6900) presale today. 2. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Meme Coin Meets Telegram Trading Bot Snorter Token ($SNORT) blends meme culture with genuine trading functionality. Built as a multi-chain token for Solana and Ethereum, $SNORT powers a Telegram-native bot that’s designed for speed and precision in the meme coin markets. The presale has already raised over $3.1 million, with tokens priced at $0.1013 and offering an impressive 141% APY for stakers. The bot itself provides sub-second swaps, copy trading tools, rug and honeypot detection, and ultra-low fees of 0.85%. This appeals to traders seeking fast execution without a high cost. By blending utility with meme branding, Snorter connects two rapidly expanding areas in crypto. If meme coin ETFs help legitimize the meme sector, utility-backed projects like $SNORT could benefit from the credibility boost while retaining their retail appeal. Visit the Snorter Token ($SNORT) presale website. 3. Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU) – Solana’s Meme King $PENGU is the official token of Pudgy Penguins, one of the most recognisable NFT brands in the world. With a market cap of roughly $2.3B, it has built an empire that stretches well beyond Web3 – securing partnerships with Lufthansa, NASCAR, Walmart, Formula 1, Suplay Inc., and even publishing giant Random House. If the $TRUMP ETF moves ahead, $PENGU’s likely will too. Institutions won’t ignore a project thats reach spans physical toys in Walmart, branding on F1 cars, and integration into airline loyalty programs – all of which funnel new audiences toward the token. That mix of cultural status and substantial partnerships gives $PENGU a foundation that few meme coins can claim. Combine that with ETF speculation, and you have a meme asset that could become an institutional talking point. Final Thoughts – Meme ETFs Could Reshape the Playing Field Canary Capital’s ETF filings for $TRUMP indicate that meme coins are moving into a more structured, regulated phase. For retail traders, that could open new opportunities – but also bring increased competition and scrutiny. Within this shifting landscape, $T6900 leans into pure chaos, $SNORT adds real utility into the mix, and $PENGU thrives on community and brand power. This article is not financial advice. Meme coins remain high-risk, so please do your own research before buying into any projects.

U.S. data, which had surprised participants for a long while now, has finally shown some of the effects of tariff-led inflation, and they do not look good. This morning's Producer Price Index (PPI) report came at 0.9% m/m for both the headline and core numbers (expected at 0.2% for both). Y/Y headline is now at 3.3% (vs 2.5% exp) and 3.7%(!!) (vs 2.9% consensus) for the core. A few FED speakers and economists have mentioned that the impact of tariffs on inflation should only provide a temporary, one-time boost to the change in inflation numbers. However, despite these claims, too-hot inflation in the present may change future inflation expectations and prompt a hawkish Fed. This should put an emphasis on University of Michigan inflation expectations. It also takes a few months, but the data should impact consumer prices, as producers will have to pass some of the costs on to avoid killing their profit margins. It seems that the September Cut will not be straightforward, hurting appetite for risk assets. For that reason, let's have a look at key levels for the Dow Jones as the morning bell freshly rang. Read More: Trump’s pressure mounts. The Fed cornered. Will the dollar weaken further?Current Picture for Indices and US Bonds Indices and Bonds performance in the morning session, Source: TradingView The US Dollar is rising strongly, leaving Bonds and Indices lagging since the PPI data got released. US Indices are finding some small dip-buyers with the Nasdaq leading but we will need to track if the dip-buying can hold the surprising news. Dow Jones Technical AnalysisDow Jones Daily Chart Dow Jones Daily Chart, August 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView The Dow has broken out to the upside after a 5-day consolidation, mentioned in our previous analysis. Post ISM Services PMIs that missed, participants looked a bit reluctant to push the pedal for the US 30 but saw what they needed to push the index higher after the CPI report from Tuesday. Now trading within its all-time highs resistance zone, Bulls will have to push further to mark a more decisive new record price. In the meantime, momentum seems to be consolidating towards neutral after many weak attempts for bulls to take control. My take on this is a reluctance from participants to fully discard the effect of tariffs on US manufacturing, preventing new highs like in Tech for example. Dow Jones 8H Chart Dow Jones 8H Chart, August 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Bulls did retake control of the price action but as mentioned on the daily timeframe, they will have to make a clearer push to decisively break the 45,150 highs to relaunch a trending environment (currently rangebound). A potential head and shoulders could be materializing if buyers fail to break the yesterday to today's sessions highs (44,988). Despite not showing up clearly for the moment, buyer failure here could be critical, particularly after the PPI data. Levels to watch for the Dow Jones: Resistance Levels 44,988 highs to breakAll-time high resistance zone around 45,000Current ATH 45,150Support Levels 44,400 to 44,500 Immediate pivot44,100 Thursday lows resistance turned supportNFP Lows Mini-Support 43,25043,000 Main Support ZoneDow Jones 1H Chart Dow Jones 1H Chart, August 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Short-timeframes evoke the formation of a small-timeframe upward channel that will need to hold.

Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG) has delivered one of the year’s most eye‑popping silver assays at El Quevar in Salta, Argentina, cutting 18,467 grams silver per tonne over 1.05 metres. The hole is part of a broad 40‑metre run grading 1,026 grams silver in hole QVD‑412, cut from 290 metres deep, Argenta said in a Wednesday release. It’s the highest assay recorded so far on the project, CEO Joaquin Marias said. The hits confirm the presence of several high-grade silver intervals within the project’s Yaxtché deposit, Argenta said. “From a technical standpoint, the extraordinary tenor of the Yaxtché mineralization highlights the strength and scale of the hydrothermal system that formed El Quevar,” Marias said in the statement. The company’s Toronto-listed shares rose almost 12%, or 7¢ on Wednesday morning to 67¢ apiece. The company has a market capitalization of $124 million. Opening up Hole QVD‑412’s blow‑out grade sits within thickness and continuity, the company reported. Inside the broader zone, Argenta said it cut 15 metres grading 2,246 grams silver per tonne, including 6 metres at 4,423 grams silver. This shows that the result is not a stray speck but a coherent high‑grade shoot within the Yaxtché deposit. The company’s second hole in this batch, QVD‑413, returned 14.35 metres at 414 grams of silver per tonne. It was found at 258.65 metres deep, which is shallower than the existing resource. This opens the system toward the surface. The success of up-dip hole QVD-413 and the record intersection in QVD-412 confirm Argenta’s dual strategy, Marias said. The strategy focuses on expanding the known resource and exploring the large untested areas. The intervals are reported as core lengths; Argenta estimates true widths at 60%–85% but says more modelling and density are needed before it can calculate true thickness. High grades The intercept drops into a market already attuned to monster silver grades and it ranks with the most dramatic results reported this cycle. Sun Silver (ASX: SS1) announced last month that its Maverick Springs program in Nevada found a 0.76-metre sub-interval with a high grade of 10,397 grams silver per tonne as part of a wider 70.1-metre mineralized section starting at 255.12 metres deep. In Nevada and Colombia, Blackrock Silver (TSXV: BRC; US-OTC: BKRRF) and Outcrop Silver & Gold (TSXV: OCG; US-OTC: OCGSF) have drawn investor attention by announcing multiple high-grade intercepts across large intersections. At El Quevar, Argenta is leaning into both resource growth and discovery, since only around 3% of the 570 sq. km area has been explored with modern methods. The company’s fully funded 4,000-metre winter campaign, which started in late May, aims to confirm high-grade zones. It will also extend along the strike and test new targets. Outside Yaxtché, first holes are now turning at Atenea, Andrea, Argenta and Mani‑Copan — areas the company says have never been drill‑tested by prior operators. Growing resource Argenta’s narrative adds weight to the numbers. Yaxtché hosts an indicated resource of 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 grams silver per tonne for 45.3 million oz. of metal. Mineralization remains open at depth and along trend, the company said. El Quevar has a unique ‘pure silver’ signature that features high-to-intermediate-sulphidation epithermal mineralization, according to the company. This type shows silver-dominant chemistry, with only minor by-products. The project is set inside a district with rail, gas and power nearby and a fully operational 100‑person camp on site. Argenta’s major shareholders include Frank Giustra of the Fiore Group and Argentine businessman Eduardo Elsztain. The company has about $11 million (US$8 million) in working capital and no debt, giving it a solid cushion as executives pursue growth in a good mining jurisdiction.

Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH) on August 13, providing a bullish outlook for the leading cryptocurrency. Ethereum has also recorded remarkable gains in the last seven days, bringing it close to its ATH. This development has occurred thanks to macro factors, which are boosting risk-on sentiment. Bitcoin Hits New ATH While Ethereum Records Massive Gains CoinMarketCap data shows that Bitcoin has reached a new ATH of $124,400, surpassing its previous ATH of around $123,091, which it hit just a month ago. Meanwhile, Ethereum is up almost 30% in the last seven days and is now just about 2% away from its ATH of $4,891. With the crypto market boasting this bullish momentum, ETH is expected to reach a new ATH sooner rather than later. These rallies for Bitcoin and Ethereum have occurred on the back of positive macro developments such as the U.S. CPI data, which has boosted hopes of a September Fed rate cut. The July CPI inflation data came in at 2.7%, which showed that inflation in the country was steady. This reading was also lower than the expected 2.8%. Meanwhile, earlier on, the July job data had suggested that the U.S. labor market was weakening after nonfarm payrolls rose to 73,000, lower than the expected 147,000. Meanwhile, May and June figures were revised to 19,000 and 14,000 from 144,000 and 147,000, respectively. These developments have proven bullish for Bitcoin and Ethereum as the odds of a 25-basis-point (bps) September Fed rate cut have reached as high as 99%, according to CME FedWatch. These odds are now at 95% while there is a 4.2% chance of a 50 bps, which would be more bullish for these crypto assets if it happens. Rate cuts inject more liquidity into the market and boost investors’ appetite for risk-on assets like BTC and ETH. Higher Prices Still Likely For BTC Crypto analyst Ezy said that the Bitcoin price is in the ‘Sign of Strength’ phase, signaling that this is the beginning of a major bullish move after a period of accumulation by whales. The analyst added that the first target in this phase is typically the 1.618 Fibonacci, which is around $130,000. Meanwhile, the Ezy stated that the second target is at the 2.0 Fibonacci level, near $145,000, and the final target is around $166,000. His accompanying chart showed that Bitcoin can reach these targets between September and October, around when the monetary easing cycle is expected to begin. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $122,600, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Antimony is a critical mineral—vital for military applications and ammunition, semiconductors and specialized alloys. Control over its refining capacity carries significant strategic leverage. The Chinese and Russian Spheres of Control currently dominate roughly 89% of global antimony refining—an alarming concentration, especially given there is incomplete data available on Russia. This graphic reveals the geopolitical landscape of antimony refinement, highlighting the vulnerabilities in global supply chains for a metal key to defence and national security.

Average Retirement Income: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and How to Build Yours You worked hard, you played by the rules, and now you want straight talk about money in retirement. Here it is. “Average retirement income” gets headlines, but your life is not an average. What matters is the cash you can count on each month, how you protect it from taxes and inflation, and how you turn savings into paychecks that last. This guide cuts through the noise and gives you a practical playbook to size, protect, and steady your income. Average Retirement Income vs. Your Reality The phrase “average retirement income” sounds helpful until you look under the hood. Averages blur the picture and mix unlike situations into one number. Mean versus median: the mean can be pulled up by a few high earners; the median shows the middle household. Household versus individual: a two-earner home can look very different from a single retiree. Pre-tax versus after-tax: a dollar before tax is not the same as a dollar you can spend. What counts as income: some surveys include withdrawals from savings; others do not. So yes, benchmark if you like, but use averages as mile markers, not as your map. The map is your budget, your fixed bills, your health coverage, your taxes, and your guaranteed checks. That sharper, personal view is what pays the bills. Your Target: Replacement Income You Can Live With Forget chasing a national figure. The real goal is replacement income, the share of your working pay you will need when the paycheck stops. Many planners cite 70 to 85 percent as a starting point. Your number may be lower if your mortgage is gone and the kids are launched, or higher if travel, hobbies, and family help are on the agenda. Build from the budget up List what you will spend in a normal month, then stress-test it for the big hitters. These categories decide more retirements than any single investment choice: Housing: property tax, insurance, maintenance, and any HOA dues. Healthcare: Medicare premiums, supplemental plans, prescriptions, dental and vision. Daily living: food, utilities, transportation, and communications. Taxes: on withdrawals and Social Security, depending on your bracket and state. Discretionary: travel, gifts, hobbies, and charitable giving. Once you see the monthly number, you have a clean target. That figure, not an average retirement income from a headline, tells you whether you are on track. The Three Pillars of Retirement Income Most retiree households stand on three pillars: Social Security, pensions or pension-like income, and withdrawals from savings. Each behaves differently. The mix, not any single pillar, is what creates stability. Social Security Social Security is built as a base layer. It lasts for life and adjusts for inflation. Your benefit depends on your work history and when you claim. Claim early and the monthly check is smaller; delay and it grows. There is no universal perfect age. Health, spousal benefits, part-time work, and how much you want to lock in a larger check versus drawing from savings sooner all matter. If longevity runs in your family, a later claim can strengthen lifetime income. If you plan to work in your early retirement years, understand earnings rules before claiming. Coordinate spousal benefits so the higher earner’s check supports the survivor benefit. Pensions and pension-like income If you have a pension, treat it like the sturdy beam it is. If you do not, some households build pension-like stability through insured products, bond ladders, or a “cash bucket” that covers several months of expenses. The point is simple: cover the essentials with income you can count on month after month. Withdrawals from savings Withdrawals are the flexible pillar. You choose how much to take and when. That freedom is powerful, and it comes with responsibility. Markets rise and fall, taxes shift with your decisions, and required minimum distributions arrive later in life for certain accounts. Many households use a conservative withdrawal framework to convert balances into a sustainable monthly number that can hold up in both good markets and tough ones. Inflation, Taxes, and the Risks You Actually Feel Inflation is not a theory. Anyone who has bought groceries recently knows it is real. Even modest inflation compounds over a decade. Social Security offers cost-of-living adjustments, but your overall plan should still respect the reality that a dollar today will not buy the same ten years from now. Taxes are the other silent force. Some states tax retirement income; others do not. Withdrawals from traditional accounts are taxable. Roth withdrawals can be tax-free. Social Security may be partially taxable based on your other income. Smart coordination matters. In some years, drawing a bit more from one bucket and less from another keeps your bracket in check and your healthcare surcharges down. A quick story: A couple in Ohio retired with a paid-off home and modest savings. They were careful spenders. Their win came from sequencing withdrawals and timing Social Security in a way that fit their health and tax picture. The result was smoother cash flow and fewer tax surprises. That was not luck. It was discipline. Location, Lifestyle, and Healthcare: The Wild Cards Where you live sets your baseline costs. Property taxes, insurance, utility rates, and medical networks vary widely. Two households with the same nest egg can face very different realities depending on ZIP code. Some retirees relocate to stretch dollars. Others stay close to family and trim discretionary spending. There is no single right answer, only the right answer for you. Healthcare deserves its own line item. Medicare is a strong foundation, yet premiums, supplemental coverage, prescription drugs, dental, vision, and the possibility of long-term care are real. Consider separating healthcare from the rest of the budget so you can track it clearly and adjust as needed. Review Medicare choices each open enrollment; plans and provider networks change. Hold a cash buffer for deductibles and unexpected procedures. Know your state’s rules on taxing retirement income and Social Security. Another quick story: A retired teacher in Arizona loved golf, then a knee replacement benched him for a season. Because he had built a healthcare cushion, his monthly plan held steady. A small act of preparation protected everything else he enjoyed. Turning Savings into a Paycheck: A Simple Playbook Here is a practical system you can put to work. Make it personal, keep it consistent, and do not be afraid of boring. Boring is good when you are paying the electric bill. Tally fixed income: list Social Security, pension, and any rental or annuity checks. That is your floor. Build a baseline budget: housing, healthcare, food, utilities, transportation, and taxes. Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves. Translate balances into monthly dollars: use a conservative withdrawal framework to turn IRA and brokerage balances into steady income that can weather market cycles. Create a cash bucket: keep several months of expenses in cash or near-cash so market dips do not force you to sell at a bad time. Sequence withdrawals: coordinate taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts. Watch tax brackets, healthcare surcharges, and required minimum distributions as you age. Plan for bumps: budget for one car replacement, one roof repair, and one medical bill. When you name and price a bump, it cannot knock you over. Review once a year: small course corrections beat big panicked moves. Revisit the budget, recalibrate for inflation, and check your mix. One more point: Part-time work or consulting for a season can bridge the early years of retirement. It keeps skills sharp, delays tapping savings, and in some cases improves the Social Security math. That is not about pride; it is about control. Benchmarks Without the Blindfold: Using Average Retirement Income the Right Way Should you ignore average retirement income completely? Not at all. Use it to ask better questions, not to copy someone else’s plan. If you are far below the averages, do not panic. Tighten the budget, consider part-time work, and focus on covering essentials with guaranteed income. If you are well above the averages, do not coast. Inflation and taxes will still test your plan, especially over a long retirement. Compare like with like. If a benchmark is household before tax and you are looking at individual after tax, you are not comparing the same thing. Update your benchmarks annually. Costs, benefits, and personal goals change. The smartest use of averages is to pressure-test your assumptions. If a headline number pushes you to refine your budget, check your tax plan, or adjust your withdrawal rate, it has done its job. Mistakes to Avoid So the Math Works for You Most retirements do not fail because of one dramatic decision. They stumble from small missteps that compound. Keep this checklist handy: Do not try to live by a national average. Live by your budget. Do not ignore taxes. Coordinate withdrawals and watch brackets. Do not underestimate healthcare. Price premiums and out-of-pocket costs separately. Do not overreact to headlines. Make annual changes, not weekly ones. Do not skip the cash buffer. Liquidity is your shock absorber. Do not forget inflation. Review spending and bump your targets as prices rise. Do not set and forget Social Security. Revisit your claiming strategy if life changes. Bottom Line: Build the Income You Can Count On The average retirement income in America is a statistic. Your retirement income is a plan. That is the difference. Use the phrase “average retirement income” as a reference point, then define your own target with a clear monthly budget, a sturdy base of guaranteed checks, and a conservative, flexible way to pull from savings. Respect inflation and taxes. Give healthcare its due. Review once a year with a cool head. You cannot control markets or headlines, but you can control preparation, pace, and peace of mind. That is how you make retirement work on your terms. The post Average Retirement Income first appeared on American Bullion.

For much of late 2024 and early 2025, many in the crypto world believed XRP could overtake Ethereum in market capitalization. The belief grew after XRP’s powerful rally late last year, which saw it outperform most major coins while Ethereum struggled to hold key price levels. At the time, market analysts were confident the gap between the two would soon close. Now, one of the most vocal supporters of the flippening, a popular analyst known as Charting Guy, has reversed his position and says it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Analyst Backtracks On XRP Flippening Ethereum Prediction Charting Guy pointed to the period between November 2024 and January 2025, when XRP surged nearly 600%, while ETH barely moved and even dropped to lows of $1,385 in April. During that time, XRP’s price strength and rapid market cap growth, increasing about seven times in just weeks, led many to believe it could become the top altcoin. However, in a post this week, Charting Guy admitted, “that is no longer the case.” He explained that he re-entered Ethereum in April, near its lows, and since then, ETH has shown “immense strength.” As of today, Ethereum is trading just 10% below its all-time high of $4,891, reaching $4,784 earlier in the day. Its current price of $4,736 marks a 239% increase from its April low. The surge pushed Ethereum’s market cap to $572 billion, compared to XRP’s $193 billion. The gap between them, now more than $368 billion, has grown significantly since July 13, when it was under $200 billion. Charting Guy says Ethereum’s strong performance has made a flippening far less realistic, at least in the near term. Ethereum’s Strength Leaves XRP Playing Catch-Up In the past four weeks alone, ETH has jumped 52%, while XRP’s growth has largely stalled. Even if XRP were to rise 2.5 times from its current price of $3.22 to roughly $8, its market value would be around $477 billion, still far short of Ethereum’s current level. Charting Guy also pointed out that for XRP to match Ethereum’s current market cap, it would need to reach $9.30, and that’s assuming ETH stops moving entirely while XRP rallies 3x. In his view, that scenario is “rather unlikely.” He warned against listening to “moon boys” who push unrealistic XRP price targets while ignoring Ethereum’s continued strength. Instead, he advises investors to hold both assets, arguing that being too focused on one coin leaves traders exposed if the market moves in a different direction. He stressed that Ethereum’s strong rally was overdue, as it had been playing catch-up to Bitcoin for most of the season. What once seemed like a real possibility now appears distant as Ethereum gains momentum. While XRP still has room to grow, it’s clear that Ethereum is not standing still, making the race between them more one-sided for now.

Cardano crypto is flying higher at press time. After the lull in late July, ADA USD began printing higher highs from early August before breaking above $1 earlier today. Although prices retraced, the uptrend remains intact. If the current momentum is maintained, the coin could bounce higher, perhaps even flipping Dogecoin and USDC in the next few weeks. Will Cardano Crypto Hit $3 In 27 Days? The technical candlestick arrangement on the daily chart points to strength. Buyers are squarely in control following the high-volume breakout above July 2025 highs. At spot rates, ADA ▲6.10% is trading at a five-month high, changing hands in March 2025 territory. If bulls press on, buyers will likely reclaim $1.2. In turn, this will be an opportunity for ADA holders to break $1.35 in a buy trend continuation pattern. When this happens, the odds of more capital flowing to some of the best meme coin ICOs in Cardano and other blockchains will also increase. CardanoPriceMarket CapADA$33.41B24h7d30d1yAll time Besides the high volume of the past few trading days, signaling interest, traders are upbeat about what the future entails. On X, one notes that ADA USD could spike to as high as $3 in the next 27 days following the formation of a golden cross on the daily chart. A golden cross is a bullish signal chartists use for entries and trend definition. It forms when the 50-period moving average crosses above the 200-period moving average. (Source: Deezy_BTC on X) In this case, the golden cross formed in the daily chart. The analyst notes that the last time a golden cross printed, ADA crypto pumped by 230%. Accordingly, if the past guides, and considering the mega interest in the best cryptos to buy, including ADA, is attracting, there is a high possibility that prices will rally. He projects ADA crypto to reach $3 in just 27 days, adding that those not stacking up ADA at spot rates are “not bullish enough.” DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Cardano Foundation Initiatives While technical indicators are promising, Cardano has even more solid fundamentals and ecosystem developments that provide a stronger case for bulls. In a post on X, the Cardano Foundation expressed its keenness on making the network one of the most trusted global infrastructures. They outlined a multifaceted strategy aimed at driving adoption, but most importantly, showcasing the utility of Cardano in the real world. The non-profit is convinced that the “future is Cardano” and, towards actualizing this goal, they are partnering with key stakeholders, including the lead Cardano developer, Input Output Global (IOG), Emurgo, and Intersect. Initiatives set by the foundation include showcasing case studies where Cardano powers industries like supply chain, AI, and finance. At the same time, they want to offer more courses and enterprise masterclasses through the Cardano Academy. The goal is to train legacy companies and make them adaptable in the new market. Moreover, the foundation plans to provide resources for the Aiken programming language courses at universities to foster developer talent. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Scaling Cardano Cardano developers are also building. In the coming months, the Ouroboros Leios will be released, likely in parts. The upgrade aims to further boost Cardano’s throughput by introducing a novel block structure and parallel processing capabilities. Notably, Leios introduces three block types, including Input, Endorsement, and Ranking blocks, each playing a distinct role. Endorsement blocks, for example, will resolve the issue of block duplicates or conflicts, and will be minted less frequently. On the other hand, Ranking blocks will be minted every 20 seconds and reference Endorsement blocks. These blocks will power parallel processing via the Input and Endorsement blocks. Once all parts of Leios are in place, Cardano will be at the forefront of solving challenges, including scaling, that have plagued the industry.

Ripple chief technology officer (CTO) David “JoelKatz” Schwartz used a late-Wednesday post on X to frame a surge of payments and stablecoin companies launching their own base-layer networks as validation of blockchain’s role in finance—and to restate how the XRP Ledger’s design differs from the new entrants. “We’ve been seeing more and more players in the payments and stablecoins space launch their own blockchains. To me, that’s a clear sign the market sees blockchain as core financial infrastructure — something we’ve believed in and have been building toward on the XRP Ledger for over 13 years,” he wrote, adding, “Launching a blockchain is hard. Building an ecosystem with developers, liquidity, trust, and real-world usage is even harder.” Competition For Ripple And The XRP Ledger? Schwartz situated XRPL’s posture in the long-running debate over network governance. “Some blockchains are built with permissioned validator sets controlled by one entity or a small group. This can provide control and compliance for specific, closed-network scenarios, but it limits reach, resilience, and the ability for anyone to contribute to securing and growing the network,” he wrote. “As many of you know, the XRPL is public and permissionless at its core, with optional permissioned features for regulated use cases.” He argued that the ledger’s open base “makes it adaptable, interoperable, and well-positioned to serve as critical infrastructure for the world’s financial system — connecting assets, markets, and participants seamlessly across borders.” The remarks arrive as two US fintech heavyweights move into L1 territory. Circle this week unveiled Arc, an EVM-compatible Layer-1 it says is “purpose-built for stablecoin finance,” with dollar-denominated fees (USDC as native gas), opt-in privacy, a built-in RFQ-style FX engine, and “deterministic sub-second settlement finality” via the Malachite consensus engine. Circle says Arc will enter private testnet in the coming weeks, target public testnet in the fall, and a mainnet beta in 2026. Separately, Stripe is developing Tempo, a high-performance, payments-focused L1 being built in partnership with crypto VC firm Paradigm. Tempo is designed to run code compatible with Ethereum, is currently in stealth with a small team, and it remains unclear whether it will have a native token. Schwartz also highlighted specific XRPL design choices he sees as aligned with financial-grade settlement. “It’s encouraging to see some newer chains adopt design choices that have long been part of the XRPL’s architecture, like deterministic finality … It shows there’s growing alignment in the industry on the importance of predictable, reliable settlement for financial applications without expensive validation,” he wrote. He reiterated that XRPL fees are meant to stay “low and predictable, just fractions of a cent, without a separate gas token,” noting that “every transaction on the XRPL uses/burns XRP.” XRPL’s technical documentation specifies that each transaction destroys a small amount of XRP as an anti-spam fee, and describes consensus rules aimed at deterministic ordering and finality. Where Schwartz drew a line was on governance flexibility. He acknowledged that permissioned validator sets can make sense for “specific, closed-network scenarios,” but underscored XRPL’s approach: a public, permissionless core with opt-in controls for compliance needs. The ledger’s native features include Authorized Trust Lines, Deposit Authorization/Preauthorization, and issuer-level freeze tooling for issued assets—not for XRP itself—allowing regulated token issuers to gate or police flows without converting the entire network into a walled garden. XRPL’s own FAQ emphasizes that it is a decentralized, public blockchain where changes require supermajority validator approval. The strategic contrast with the new fintech chains is already visible. Arc explicitly centers USDC—making fees dollar-denominated and embedding Circle’s payments stack—whereas XRPL retains XRP for fees and settlement while supporting issued assets through trust-line mechanics. If Tempo proceeds as reported, Stripe would be pursuing an Ethereum-compatible L1 optimized for predictable payments performance, potentially mirroring Arc’s enterprise-centric pitch but with a broader merchant-services integration surface. Schwartz closed on a deliberately expansive note about the competitive set: “Looking forward to the next phase of XRPL innovations, bringing more programmability, compliance-grade capabilities, and deeper liquidity for institutional use,” he wrote—before welcoming rivals: “And to those just getting started… Welcome to the party! The crypto tent is only getting bigger.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.23.

It sure is hard being a crypto billionaire and keeping all the press out of your wallet! Just ask Justin Sun as he sues Bloomberg to keep them from disclosing sensitive information about his crypto holdings. Sun filed a lawsuit on 11 August 2025 in the US District Court for the District of Delaware, claiming Bloomberg’s disclosure of his crypto holdings undermines his privacy and could potentially put him and his family at risk. According to Sun, Bloomberg approached him earlier this year to include him in its online Billionaires Index, where it ranks some of the world’s richest individuals. Sun claims that he only agreed to participate after Bloomberg assured him that they would keep all asset disclosures, particularly the ones tied to his crypto holdings, strictly confidential and would use them solely to verify his net worth. According to his complaint, Sun shared his wallet details and asset information via a secure channel with Bloomberg’s wealth verification team, believing they would share his crypto portfolio as a single aggregate figure without revealing token allocations or wallet breakdown. Sun launched Tron in 2017 and has substantial crypto and traditional assets. He says that assurances from Bloomberg were central to his decision to cooperate. EXPLORE: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August 2025 Bloomberg Had Given Assurances Both Verbally And In Writing Continuing on with the breach of trust theme, Sun claims that the publishing giant assured him repeatedly, both verbally and in writing, that it would use his asset data for verification purposes only and delete it thereafter. Additionally, Bloomberg’s team assured Sun that only a handful of select personnel would be granted access to Sun’s asset holdings. When Sun’s lawyers set explicit conditions to use the data for verification purposes only, Bloomberg did not push back. However, in July, Sun’s team learned that Bloomberg journalists were referencing figures from the confidential data set in a separate article. Shortly after this, Bloomberg’s team sent over a draft profile for its Billionaires’ Index, which, according to Sun, had multiple inaccuracies and, more critically, a granular breakdown of his crypto holdings by token type and amount. EXPLORE: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Sun Claims Outing Holdings Will Make Him A Prime Target For Hackers Sun claims that Bloomberg’s breakdown of his holdings in its draft profile is far more granular and detailed than what’s typically published for other industry figures such as Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong or Binance’s Changpeng Zhao. He alleges that his crypto holdings, if made public, would allow analysts to map his digital footprint, making him a high-value target for cyberattacks, thefts and even physical harm. The complaint highlights how blockchain’s transparency can become a liability if someone discloses the asset composition. It cites previous cases of crypto billionaires facing extortion, kidnapping and other threats and includes examples that Bloomberg itself reported on in the past. EXPLORE: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in August 2025 Justin Sun Sues Bloomberg On Two Legal Counts Sun filed his lawsuit on two legal grounds, including public disclosure of private facts and promissory estoppel, stating that Bloomberg’s planned publication violates assurances that led him to share sensitive data. Further, the complaint seeks a temporary restraining order along with preliminary and permanent injunctions to block Bloomberg from releasing the asset breakdown. He is also pursuing reimbursement of legal fees and has requested a jury trial. Moreover, he has warned that publishing granular wallet data could trigger consequences that outlast a single article.
