Hsin-Ju Chuang, a former partner at crypto fund manager Hack VC, was found dead near an Interstate 15 access road in California’s Mojave Desert on Aug. 24, Wu Blockchain reported. Chuang was 37, and local investigators are examining the exact cause of death.

Chuang had previously said Chuang rejected a pending settlement with the company that included private mediation and a nondisclosure agreement, and planned to release evidence related to the dispute on Aug. 26. No link between the death and the dispute with the company has been confirmed.

[BTC long-term holders sit on 37% unrealized gains over average cost: analyst]

On-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. said Bitcoin long-term holders are sitting on roughly 37% unrealized gains versus their average purchase price after the recent price rise.

In a blog post, Adler said BTC was priced at $86,406 as of Sept. 23, while the average cost basis for holders who have kept the asset for more than six months stood at $62,706. A week earlier, unrealized gains relative to that average cost basis were 20%, and the cost basis itself had changed little, indicating the expanded gains came from Bitcoin’s price increase. In early August, the group’s average purchase price and BTC’s market price moved close enough that they nearly slipped into losses.

[Dungeon Labs unveils Creditcoin-based DUNG token for game rewards]

Game developer Dungeon Labs on Sept. 23 unveiled Dungeon Coin, or DUNG, a utility token built on the Creditcoin (CTC) mainnet, along with its “Dungeon Series” game lineup.

[Bloomberg analyst says BTC at $60K likely wasn’t this cycle’s final bottom]

Bloomberg senior analyst Mike McGlone said in a recent report that it is unlikely Bitcoin formed its final bottom for this cycle around $60,000 earlier this year.

McGlone said BTC appears to have entered a pullback phase after first rising above $100,000 on a monthly closing basis in January 2025. He added that record-high U.S. stocks and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbing above 5% in the third quarter could weigh on assets such as BTC that do not generate income.

[Analyst says wait for a pullback rather than chase XRP’s rebound]

Vandell Aljarrah, co-founder of crypto investment analysis and consulting platform Black Swan Capitalist, said investors may be better off waiting for a further pullback rather than chasing XRP’s recent rebound, according to The Crypto Basic. Aljarrah said investors who have not accumulated as much XRP as they wanted should avoid getting swept up in the rally and instead look for a better entry point if the token corrects again. The outlet added that any further pullback would not necessarily mean a return to the August low of $0.978. XRP was trading at $1.59, up 23.96% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
