Altcoin season may be weeks away, according to Coinbase Institutional’s latest monthly outlook, which forecasts a shift in market leadership from bitcoin to alternative cryptocurrencies beginning in September. Altcoin season refers to a market phase when cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin — often led by Ethereum's ETH, Solana's SOL, and other large-cap tokens — post significantly higher percentage gains than BTC over a sustained period. The Aug. 14 report , authored by David Duong, Coinbase’s global head of research, identifies three main drivers: falling bitcoin market dominance, improving liquidity and growing investor willingness to rotate into higher-beta assets. Duong frames this as a cyclical transition, with capital moving down the risk curve as market confidence builds. Bitcoin dominance — its share of total crypto market value — has shown signs of softening after peaking earlier this year. Coinbase argues that as this measure declines, capital historically flows in...

Crypto markets saw over $1 billion in leveraged positions wiped out in the past 24 hours after hotter-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data fueled fears of persistent inflation and delayed Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations. The sell-off came hours after bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high above $123,500, with traders unwinding risk across the board. Major memecoin dogecoin (DOGE) fell 9% to lead losses among majors, with Solana's SOL, XRP, and BNB Chain's BNB dropping between 3-7%. Liquidation data shows $866 million in long positions were erased — more than six times the $140 million in shorts — as prices reversed sharply from recent highs. Ether traders took the biggest hit, with $348.9 million liquidated, followed by Bitcoin at $177.1 million. Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin saw $64.2 million, $58.8 million, and $35.8 million in liquidations, respectively. Bybit accounted for the largest share of the wipeout, at $421.9 million, with more than 92% of those lo...

XRP fell sharply in the last 24 hours as large-scale liquidations swept through the market, pushing the token to its lowest levels in over a week before signs of stabilization emerged. The move saw over $1 billion in market-wide liquidations and record intraday selling volume, testing critical institutional support near $3.05. Despite the drop, late-session buying hints at renewed accumulation from large holders as selling pressure eased. News Background Market-wide liquidations exceeded $1 billion, amplifying downside pressure across major cryptocurrencies. XRP’s selloff coincided with a midday capitulation event, with volume reaching 436.98 million units — one of the largest single-hour prints this quarter. Ripple’s CTO reiterated the XRP Ledger’s readiness for global financial infrastructure use, offering fundamental support amid technical weakness. Broader crypto market declines aligned with profit-taking in U.S. equities, shifting risk sentiment to the downside. Price Act...

Crypto exchange Coinbase lost roughly $300,000 in token fees after a misconfigured interaction with decentralized exchange protocol 0x’s “swapper” contract allowed MEV bots to siphon funds from one of its corporate wallets. Coinbase’s chief security officer Philip Martin confirmed the mishap and called it an “an isolated issue” tied to a change in one of the exchange’s corporate DEX wallets. He stressed that no customer funds were affected, per an X post. Security researcher “deeberiroz” of Venn Network first flagged the exploit on Wednesday, saying Coinbase mistakenly approved tokens to the swapper contract — a permissionless tool designed for executing swaps but not intended to hold token allowances. That setup opened the door for opportunistic MEV bots, which immediately drained the wallet once approvals were live. MEV, or “maximal extractable value,” refers to the practice of front-running or reordering blockchain transactions to capture profits, or in this case, executing tran...

XRP extended its bullish run in the 24-hour session from August 13 at 04:00 to August 14 at 03:00, climbing from $3.24 to $3.33 for a 3.10% gain. Price action carved out a $0.14 corridor between $3.20 and $3.34, reflecting 4.20% volatility amid pronounced institutional buying. The most aggressive move came at 13:00 when XRP pierced resistance at $3.27 on 217.4 million volume—nearly triple the 24-hour average—followed by sustained overnight accumulation with volumes above 117 million in consecutive hours.

Multiple overnight sessions posted volumes well above the baseline 81.7 million, reinforcing upward momentum. Fresh support established at $3.33 follo...

Bitcoin (BTC) surged past its previous record on Wednesday, rallying in tandem with U.S. equities as investors continued piled into risk assets ahead of key macro catalysts. BTC rose above $124,000 in early Asia trading on Thursday, topping the July 14 high of $123,205, before seeing slight profit taking. The move came as the S&P 500 logged its second consecutive record close, meaning BTC mirrored a rally in stocks as both markets feed off the same bullish macro backdrop. It became the fifth-largest asset by market capitalization across all assets, data shows , crossing Google’s $2.4 trillion. The milestone reflects a year-long build in bullish sentiment, fueled by a friendlier regulatory backdrop under President Donald Trump and the rapid adoption of corporate treasury strategies centered on bitcoin accumulation. Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) pioneered the playbook of stockpiling BTC as a balance sheet asset, a move now mirrored by smaller public companies — and increasingl...

Crypto markets extended gains on Wednesday as traders digested a mix of political tailwinds, dovish Fed expectations, and ongoing ETF inflows into ether (ETH). Altcoins added to their rally during late Tuesday U.S. afternoon hours after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested the Federal Reserve should consider a 50 basis point rate cut at its upcoming September meeting. Ether extended a strong week with gains of nearly 30%, nearing fresh highs that has historically preceded rotations and market frenzy in altcoins and microcap tokens. ETFs tied to the token registered $520 million in positive flows on Tuesday, data shows , on track to reach over $2 billion in weekly flows for the first time. Bitcoin (BTC) remained steady just under $120,000. Solana’s SOL (SOL) surged 12% to $198, BNB Chain’s BNB (BNB) added 5% to $837, and XRP (XRP) gained 4% to $3.25. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) rose over 8%, continuing a tendency of following ETH price action. Traders say recent comment...

News Background Ripple Labs and the Securities and Exchange Commission have formally dismissed their appeals, concluding years of litigation over XRP. The legal clarity has triggered fre...

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas. As Asia begins its trading day, ETH is trading above $4600, up 10% in the last 24 hours, as the possibility of a rate cut in September works its way through the market. Some traders see it likely that ETH could quickly challenge its all-time high of $4876 set in 2021. Polymarket bettors are going a step further; they believe that $5000 is possible before the end of August, and they are also giving a 28% chance of the asset's price crossing $5800 before the month ends. The surge has helped pull bitcoin dominance down from 65% to 59% as traders rotate into altcoins. In a recent report, analysts at Glassnode wrote that ETH is now nearing the +1 standard deviation “Active Realized Price” band ar...

Crypto markets extended gains into Tuesday’s U.S. inflation print, with bitcoin (BTC) holding above $118,000 after a 2.2% daily rise and ether (ETH) steady at $4,300, capping a 17.2% weekly surge that has it closing in on its $4,800 record. Gains were broad across majors as XRP (XRP) climbed 3.2% to above $3.16, Solana’s SOL (SOL) rose 5.2% to $176, dogecoin (DOGE) rose 5.7% to 22 cents, and Binance’s BNB (BNB) added 1.2% to $800. Lido’s staked ether mirrored ETH’s move with an 18% weekly gain. The global cryptocurrency market cap rose to $4 trillion, according to CoinGecko. This week’s rally has flipped the usual dynamic, with altcoin strength dragging BTC higher instead of the other way around. “This is one of the few times when a rally in major altcoins has inspired BTC to break through,” said Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro. He noted BTC has already cleared the $120,000 technical barrier, with “the bull’s nearest target now looking to be the $135,000–$138,000 a...

Technical Analysis Overview XRP drops 2% in the 24-hour period ending August 12, sliding from $3.19 to $3.14 after touching an intraday peak of $3.32 at 08:00. The move comes after two days of double-digit gains on regulatory clarity, with selling pressure concentrated in the 19:00 hour — a $3.20 to $3.15 drop on 73.87 million volume. Support holds at $3.13 after multiple successful tests, while resistance builds at $3.27, setting a defined near-term range. Final-hour trade sees a bounce from $3.13 to $3.14 on late buying, with volume spikes of 3.21M and 4.45M signaling dip-buying interest. News Background Ripple Labs and the Securities and Exchange Commission have formally ended their nearly five-year legal battle, jointly dismissing appeals in the XRP case. The settlement removes a significant compliance overhang, unlocking greater institutional participation. Daily trading volumes have jumped 208% to $12.4B since the announcement, with open interest also climbing. Despite the l...

Bitcoin (BTC) bulls mounted a fresh challenge to a crucial resistance level as traders looked forward to U.S. inflation data. The top cryptocurrency rose to $122,056, testing the 1.618% Fibonacci extension originating from the 2018 bear market low and the 2022 bear market low. The 1.618% extension is derived from the "golden ratio," a revered mathematical constant in finance, which is widely found in nature and art. Many believe it also influences human psychology and market movements. This is the bulls' second attempt to scale the key resistance levels. They previously penetrated the same last month, but failed to sustain gains, which ultimately led to a price pullback to lows under $112,000. A successful hold above the "golden ratio" would cement expectations for a rally toward $140,000, the most popular call option strike on the crypto derivatives exchange Deribit. As of writing, the $140,000 call boasted a notional open interest of over $3 billion, accor...

Crypto markets began Monday on a high note, with ether (ETH) up more than 21% over the past seven days to $4,300 and bitcoin (BTC) climbing 3% to within touching distance of record highs. BTC led gains among majors in the past 24 hours, with Solana’s SOL (SOL), XRP (XRP), dogecoin (DOGE), and BNB Chain’s BNB (BNB) rising nearly 1%, but reversing all profit-taking from the weekend to start the week in green. The S&P 500 recovered from last week’s post-payrolls dip to near all-time highs, while the Nasdaq set a new record on strong earnings, shrugging off political noise and fresh U.S. import taxes. ETH has outperformed sharply against this macro backdrop, driving a divergence in short-dated implied volatility between majors. “BTC IV remains near all-time lows while ETH has jumped materially,” said Augustine Fan, Head of Insights at SignalPlus, told CoinDesk in a Monday note. “Term structure on ETH is inverted, with long-dated vol expected to settle near 70%, while BTC’s curve i...

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas. Chronicle, the oracle infrastructure provider powering secure, scalable onchain financial data, has been named the exclusive partner to Grove Protocol, an institutional-grade credit platform with a $1 billion tokenized asset allocation strategy. Grove, part of the Sky ecosystem known as a 'Star', the name Sky uses for units in its network, launched in June with a $1 billion allocation to tokenized collateralized loan obligations such as the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Strategy on Centrifuge, aiming to bridge DeFi and traditional credit markets by giving protocols and asset managers access to diversified, institutional-grade yields.

JPMorgan remains bullish on U.S. stocks even as some observers warn that the economy is beginning to pay the price for President Donald Trump's tariffs. The investment banking giant forecasts that the S&P 500, Wall Street's benchmark index, will yield a "high single-digit return over the next 12 months," driven by three key factors. One of the main reasons for optimism is that markets don't care about signs of an economic slowdown. Instead, traders are focused on resilient corporate earnings and the subsequent economic recovery. Since President Trump fired the first tariff salvo on April 2, economists have downgraded full-year U.S. growth forecasts from 2.3% to 1.5%. Still, the S&P 500 has gained over 28% in the four months. The index has held steady despite recent economic data revealing softness in the labour market and consumption , as well as stickiness in manufacturing and service sector inflation . While the macro analysts' warning is conce...

BlackRock has made bold moves into bitcoin and ether ETFs, but on Friday the asset manager said it had no immediate plans to file for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), dashing the community’s hopes that its entry could help extend XRP’s 2025 rally. This statement — made the day after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs jointly asked an appeals court to dismiss their respective appeals, signaling an end to their nearly five-year legal battle — has left investors questioning why BlackRock remains on the sidelines. While several asset managers, including ProShares, Grayscale, and Bitwise, have filed for XRP ETFs since late 2024, BlackRock’s absence is notable, especially given its dominance in the bitcoin and ether ETF markets. Here are five reasons why BlackRock appears in no hurry to launch a spot XRP ETF, despite the XRP community’s anticipation of a demand-driven price surge. First, BlackRock has cited limited client interest in cryptocurrencie...

ETH salta 7% para US$ 4.200, maior valor desde dezembro de 2021, enquanto analistas preveem o que vem por aí "> O Ether (ETH) saltou para US$ 4.200 na Binance na manhã de sábado, seu maior valor desde dezembro de 2021, após dois dias de alta impulsionados por negociações intensas e US$ 207 milhões em liquidações de posições vendidas. O movimento ocorreu após o rompimento acima de US$ 4.000 na sexta-feira, pela primeira vez desde dezembro de 2024, um marco técnico que atraiu novas compras e preparou o cenário para a alta de sábado. Miles Deutscher afirmou que essas recompras forçadas ajudaram a acelerar a alta. Em uma publicação anterior, ele descreveu um "efeito riqueza on-chain": à medida que o preço do ETH sobe, tanto grandes detentores quanto investidores de varejo veem suas posições se tornarem lucrativas, levando-os a realocar capital em tokens menores e de maior risco em busca de ganhos maiores. Essa dinâmica, disse ele, pode amplificar as altas além do própri...

World Liberty, ligada a Trump, busca US$ 1,5 bilhão para empresa pública de criptomoedas: Bloomberg "> A World Liberty Financial, plataforma de finanças descentralizadas com vínculos com a família Trump, estaria em negociações com grandes investidores para levantar cerca de US$ 1,5 bilhão para uma empresa de capital aberto que deteria seus tokens WLFI. A estrutura do acordo, segundo a Bloomberg, ainda está em discussão. A empresa abordou investidores com recursos suficientes em tecnologia e criptomoedas, segundo a reportagem, citando pessoas familiarizadas com o assunto. No ano passado, a empresa delineou planos para um aplicativo de empréstimo de criptomoedas e atualmente emite USD1, uma stablecoin lastreada em dólar que foi usada para facilitar o investimento de US$ 2 bilhões da MGX na Binance. Os tokens WLFI, inicialmente lançados como ativos de governança não transferíveis, devem se tornar negociáveis. Com a mudança, a World Liberty Financial se juntará a um número cresc...
