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. Rest in Peace, Coinbase Wallet. No, the app itself isn't going away, but it is getting a new name. On its X profile , its name is crossed out and replaced with a 'TBA' and a few question marks. "There’s plenty of speculation about what it means, but I’m leaning toward 'The Base App.' That would fit the idea of Base unveiling a range of in-app experiences directly inside its wallet," Bradley Park, a Seoul-based analyst with DNTV Research, told CoinDesk in an interview. Base Creator Jesse Pollak was tapped to lead Coinbase's Wallet team last October , which lends credence to Park's theory. In an interview on the sidelines of Devcon in Bangkok last year, Pollak pla...

Ver post original Bitcoin luta para manter US$ 115 mil; Solana e Dogecoin mostram força relativa enquanto o sentimento de aversão ao risco persiste " style="max-width:100%;height:auto;"> O Bitcoin (BTC0) permanece preso abaixo de US$ 115.000 após uma queda acentuada no fim de semana que eliminou quase US$ 6.000 das máximas locais e desencadeou mais de US$ 1 bilhão em liquidações em posições longas alavancadas. Embora os mercados tenham se estabilizado um pouco desde segunda-feira, o sentimento continua frágil em meio a uma nova rodada de tarifas emitidas por Donald Trump e outra semana de fluxos instáveis de ETFs. O BTC foi negociado perto de US$ 114.200 nas horas da tarde asiáticas de terça-feira, permanecendo estável no dia, mas ainda abaixo da faixa-chave de US$ 115.000 – US$ 118.000 que atuou como suporte de curto prazo nas últimas duas semanas.

Bitcoin, Stocks Hit By $400B Liquidity Drain From U.S. Treasury Account, Not Jackson Hole: Analysts

-
Move over Jackson Hole and inflation fears. The real driver behind the recent swoon in crypto and stock markets is likely the impending liquidity drain stemming from the U.S. government’s Treasury General Account (TGA), a checking account held at the Federal Reserve that is poised for a significant buildup. Bitcoin (BTC) has declined by over 8% to $113,500 since hitting record highs above $124,000 last Thursday, according to CoinDesk data. Prices for other major tokens such as ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), and solana's SOL (SOL) have also corrected, dragging the broader market lower. The CoinDesk 80 Index has dropped 13% since last Thursday. The bullish momentum has also weakened on Wall Street, where the tech-heavy Nasdaq index fell by nearly 1.40% to $23,384 on Tuesday, having hit a record high of $23,969 a week ago. Most market commentary has attributed the losses on Wall Street and in crypto markets to investor de-risking ahead of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s sched...
