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.

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. O Ether (ETH) teve um desempenho um pouco melhor...
