The UAE government holds over $700,000,000 in BTC — Arkham

The UAE is now a Top-4 Bitcoin holder among nations. A total of 6,333 BTC was acquired through mining by Citadel Mining.

A record $4.7 billion worth of Ethereum (1.03 million ETH) has been withdrawn from staking.

▪️Since July 15, withdrawals from Ethereum staking have accelerated, with the exit queue surpassing 1 million ETH. At the same time, staking inflows have also remained high since late May — as of August 28, about 753,000 ETH (nearly $3.5 billion) had been deposited.

▪️Ethereum’s architecture does not allow instant mass deposits or withdrawals from staking. Instead, both operations are subject to strict limits. When those limits are exceeded, transactions are placed in a queue — as reflected in the chart.

Bitcoin could rise to $160,000 by the end of this year – according to analyst Timothy Peterson.

Historically, BTC has a 70% probability of growth during the four months leading up to Christmas (average return = 44%).

The U.S. is turning stablecoins into a “capital vacuum.”

Key points from Arthur Hayes’ essay

▪️ U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the new “Buffalo Bill.” His goal is to destroy eurodollars (dollar deposits outside the U.S., ~ $10–13T) and shift deposits into stablecoins.

▪️ Eurodollars don’t buy U.S. government bonds. Stablecoins, however, are required to hold reserves in T-bills → automatic demand for U.S. debt.

▪️ WhatsApp/Instagram could distribute dollar wallets to billions of users. Central banks lose control over the money supply.

▪️ Stablecoins will become part of Pax Americana (“American World Order”) and trigger the biggest bull run in DeFi history.

New gifts for September 1 have been released, and the new method of combating reseller bots has proven to be the most effective.

In addition, such gifts cannot be sent to a channel — this method was previously used to sell gifts before they were upgraded.

It’s reported that attackers have started adding “upgrades” to other people’s gifts and then requesting a refund of the stars, which causes the upgraded gift to disappear.

Solution: hide unupgraded gifts.

The four-year Bitcoin cycle will end in October with a crash to $50,000 — analyst

Back in 2024, João Wedson suggested that October 2025 could mark the end of the 4-year BTC price cycle. If his forecast is correct, the current bull market is nearing its end.

However, he also outlined a short-term scenario: there may still be enough time for BTC to first dip to $100,000 and then surge above $140,000 before the bear market begins.

Meanwhile, the long-term outlook looks much darker: if the 4-year cycle holds, a drop to $50,000 could occur during the 2026 bear market.

Only 5.15% of BTC remains to be mined.
