🔥 One of Ethereum’s biggest evangelists just sold all his ETH!

David Hoffman — co-founder of Bankless and one of the most well-known public supporters of Ethereum for years — published a massive thread explaining why he exited his ETH position.

His main point:

This is not bearish on Ethereum the network.
It’s bearish on ETH as the main value-capturing asset.

Key arguments:

➥ Ethereum may win as infrastructure while ETH underperforms as an investment asset.
➥ The “ETH is money” thesis never fully materialized. Stablecoins, L2s, RWAs, DeFi apps, and TradFi integrations may capture most of the value instead.
➥ Unlike Bitcoin, which keeps BTC at the center of everything, Ethereum expanded into a huge ecosystem where value constantly leaks into applications, rollups, and external assets.
➥ Ethereum helped put dollars on-chain at massive scale… but that mainly strengthened the dollar, not ETH itself.

📞 SAYLOR: BITCOIN REACHES ITS FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH GLOBAL INTEGRATION

“Bitcoin reaches its full potential by integrating with currencies, credit, securities, companies, banks, institutions, governments, families, and individuals.

Bitcoin is an open monetary network for everyone.”

📞 Anthony Pompliano believes Bitcoin could be approaching a turning point

Despite trading more than 50% below its all-time high, Pompliano argues that the current bear market remains one of the mildest in BTC's history. Previous cycles regularly saw drawdowns of 80% or more.

Several on-chain indicators are already flashing levels that have historically coincided with market bottoms. Notably, the share of Bitcoin held at a loss has now exceeded the share held in profit — a condition that has often marked the late stages of bear markets.

Pompliano also dismisses concerns about Strategy being forced to sell BTC, arguing the company has sufficient dollar reserves to meet its obligations.

While high interest rates may continue to pressure crypto in the short term, he believes the long-term thesis remains unchanged: rising U.S. debt, persistent deficits, and fiat currency debasement continue to strengthen the case for scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold.

📞 The Trump family may soon get its own “crypto bank” in the U.S.

According to reports, World Liberty Financial is highly likely to receive a national trust bank charter, potentially becoming one of the first major crypto firms directly integrated into the U.S. banking system.

📲 If approved, the company would be able to issue its USD1 stablecoin directly in the U.S. and process payments on its own platform—without relying on intermediaries.

📞 Critics argue this creates an unprecedented conflict of interest, as the president’s family reportedly benefits financially from the project. Meanwhile, regulators have been accelerating crypto banking approvals in recent months.

📲 Is Michael Saylor's STRC becoming the next LUNA?

Not exactly — but investors are getting nervous.

Strategy's preferred shares, STRC, have plunged to $76.2, trading about 25% below their $100 par value.

The concern is simple: STRC pays an 11.5% dividend, meaning Strategy needs roughly $1.2 billion per year just to cover these payments. The company currently holds around $1.4 billion in cash reserves.

🔑The key difference from LUNA is that Strategy is not legally obligated to keep paying dividends at all costs. STRC holders can't force liquidations or trigger a death spiral.

Still, the market is starting to question whether Strategy can continue funding both its dividend obligations and aggressive Bitcoin strategy.

The biggest fear? If pressure keeps building, the company could eventually be forced to sell BTC to support its capital structure.

For now, it's not a LUNA-style collapse — but the risks around Strategy are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

📈 The forward PEG ratio for U.S. stocks has fallen to 0.80, a level that typically suggests the market may be undervalued relative to expected earnings growth

There are two possible scenarios:

🟩 Bull case: AI-driven earnings forecasts prove accurate, making today's valuations an attractive entry point before another leg higher in the S&P 500.
🟥 Bear case: Expectations are too optimistic, similar to the dot-com era, and weaker growth forces earnings estimates lower.

For now, corporate revenues continue to grow, and the U.S. economy has yet to show signs of a major slowdown. If equities continue higher, it could also become a positive catalyst for crypto.

Crypto doesn't always need stocks to fall—but historically, it has had a much easier time rallying when the stock market is strong. Until then, patience remains key.

📞 U.S. institutions have been selling Bitcoin through Coinbase for nearly 900 consecutive hours, marking the longest stretch of sustained bearish sentiment in the past two years, according to CryptoQuant.

Such persistent selling pressure reflects extremely cautious positioning from large investors. However, history suggests that similar sentiment extremes have often appeared near major market bottoms, just before Bitcoin reversed to the upside.

While this doesn't guarantee an immediate rally, it does indicate that institutional pessimism has reached unusually high levels—a condition that contrarian investors will be watching closely.

📉 Bitcoin is approaching a potential Death Cross

The Death Cross, where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average, is traditionally viewed as a bearish signal. In previous Bitcoin cycles, it has often been followed by declines of around 30%.

However, there's an interesting pattern: in past cycles, the Death Cross has frequently marked the final major drop before a new bullish trend began.

If history repeats itself, some analysts believe $50K could become the ultimate bottom of this correction. As always, past performance doesn't guarantee future results—but it's a pattern worth watching. 📈

📞 Most Crypto Tokens Don't Survive the Long Term

A study of 1,539 projects that entered the crypto market's top 100 by market cap paints a brutal picture: 71.9% are now effectively dead, either delisted or generating less than $10K in daily trading volume.

The median token lifespan is just 2 years and 4 months, while estimates suggest only around 15% of projects survive 10 years. Even reaching the top 100 is clearly no guarantee of long-term success.

The takeaway for altcoin investors? Crypto projects can disappear remarkably fast. Instead of blindly holding through multiple cycles, it may make sense to take profits during strong rallies, reassess positions regularly, and avoid becoming emotionally attached to a project.

Bitcoin remains a very different long-term bet—but even with BTC, risk management matters.

Many GameFi projects only make promises ❌

Fusionist is different ✅

They built a high-quality AAA sci-fi strategy game using Unity + HDRP (AAA-level visuals), with an anti-cheat real-time multiplayer system (server-side computation).

What makes it huge: 
- Game is already live on Steam & Epic Games Store.
- Can be played in browser & mobile (WebGL).
- Has its own blockchain: Endurance (EVM-compatible, low fee, high speed).
- 3 main modes: Colonize • Conquer • Unite (mech combat + strategy).

$ACE is the native token of Endurance used for: 
• Gas fee 
• In-game economy 
• Staking 
• Governance 
• Trading NFT & assets

Tokenomics: 
• Max Supply: 147,000,000 ACE 
• Circulating: ~107.6 million 
• Community allocation is quite large (Incentive + Eco Fund + Airdrop)

Backed by Binance Labs + FunPlus in the seed round. 
Listed on Binance Launchpool since December 2023.


Right now volume is exploding and the price action is very strong.

DYOR first, but a project that actually delivers an AAA game + has its own chain is extremely rare in GameFi.

📞 Illinois' 0.2% crypto tax heads straight to court

The Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation filed suit on Aug. 21 in Sangamon County Circuit Court against the Illinois Department of Revenue, challenging a first-in-the-nation 0.2% tax on digital asset trades, transfers, and storage. The levy isn't due to bite until Jan. 1, 2027 — but the industry clearly isn't waiting around to see how judges feel about it closer to the deadline.

If the tax survives, Illinois becomes a test case for state-level crypto taxation that every other statehouse will be watching.
