Clients — from retail to HNWIs — will soon be able to borrow against crypto-linked assets, with the bank planning to expand the collateral list over time.
Crypto will also be factored into clients’ liquidity profiles, alongside stocks, cars, and art.
Despite CEO Jamie Dimon’s ongoing crypto skepticism (calling BTC a “criminal tool”), the bank is moving forward — offering services in response to client demand, not personal opinion.
A big signal of TradFi embracing crypto, no matter what their CEOs say publicly.

Iran Imposes Crypto Curfew After $90M Nobitex Hack
Following a major exploit on top Iranian exchange Nobitex, the Central Bank of Iran has enforced strict new rules: all crypto platforms can now only operate from 10:00 to 20:00 local time.
Notably, all stolen assets (~$90M) from the hack were burned, rendering them unusable.

Notably, all stolen assets (~$90M) from the hack were burned, rendering them unusable.
Tether is setting its sights on becoming the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by the end of 2025. In a recent interview, CEO Paolo Ardoino described the company’s mining ambitions as a strategic move to protect its substantial Bitcoin holdings—over 100,000 BTC, currently valued at around $10 billion.
Since 2023, Tether has invested more than $2 billion into mining infrastructure across Latin America, including Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador. These investments include building energy substations, expanding renewable energy capacity, and acquiring stakes in existing mining operations.
“This isn’t just about return on investment—it’s about securing the Bitcoin network we rely on,” Ardoino stated. He emphasized that mining is now a fundamental part of Tether’s long-term strategy.
This effort also aligns with Tether’s broader vision of creating a foundation for “stable infrastructure,” which includes not only stable money but also stable energy, communications, and artificial intelligence systems.
If Tether continues at this pace, it may soon surpass current industry leaders like Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), CleanSpark, and Riot Platforms—emerging as one of the dominant forces in global Bitcoin mining.

Tether expands into Africa!
USDT issuer Tether has signed an MoU with the Zanzibar eGovernment Authority to promote digital asset education and blockchain adoption in Tanzania

After years of silence, the wallet suddenly transferred 6,000 BTC (~$649 million) to a new address.
Such large movements often stir speculation — is this profit-taking, cold storage reshuffling, or something bigger?
The whale had held these coins untouched for over 5 years, and this move joins a recent trend of old wallets becoming active again.

🥷Crypto Flex Gone Wrong: London Gang Kidnaps Barber Over Fake Bitcoin Fortune
🇬🇧 Four people in London have been convicted for kidnapping Belgian barber Quentin Cepeljac, who falsely bragged online about being a crypto millionaire.
The gang lured him with promises of luxury, but after ambushing him with weapons, discovered his wallet held only $9. They settled for $2,700 from his bank and released him.
The case highlights a rising trend of "wrench attacks" — physical assaults targeting people flaunting crypto wealth on social media.
Lesson: flexing fake gains online isn’t just cringe — it can be dangerous.

Indian investors collectively hold around 1,000,000 BTC (~5.1% of total supply).
For comparison, the U.S. leads with ~7.8M BTC (~40%), including corporate treasuries, funds, and seized assets.
Despite harsh crypto taxes, India’s demand for Bitcoin remains strong, driven by a young, tech-savvy population and a large base of long-term retail holders.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Advisor Has a Plan… for Panama!
Max Keiser, Bitcoin advisor to President Bukele, has suggested that Panama City’s mayor should offer BTC-only discounts to ships passing through the Panama Canal.
His pitch? Accept Bitcoin and boost revenue from the canal — which already generates $5B annually — while stacking sats.
Meanwhile in the U.S., Sheetz (750+ gas station stores) is offering a 50% discount when paying with crypto — every day from 3–7PM.
Crypto adoption isn’t just coming — it’s giving cashback.

BTC dominance fell from 65% in May to 59% in August, while altcoin market cap jumped over 50% since July.
Institutional interest in ETH is rising, with 2.95M ETH (~2% supply) held by crypto-reserve firms.
Coinbase links the forecast to macro trends, potential regulatory progress, and a Fed rate cut in September that could shift capital from $7T in U.S. money market funds into risk assets like crypto.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci predicts Bitcoin could hit $180K–$200K by the end of this year — and he calls that a “conservative” estimate!
His reasoning: supply vs. demand. Only 450 BTC are mined daily, while institutional appetite is growing fast. Compared to 3 years ago, today’s conferences are packed with big funds instead of just retail investors.
Notably, last year Scaramucci forecasted $100K BTC by end of 2024 — and Bitcoin actually hit $108K in December. Now he’s raising the bar even higher.

Record ETH withdrawals from staking!
Since July 15, over 1.03M ETH ($4.7B) have entered the withdrawal queue — the highest ever. At the same time, staking inflows remain strong, with 753K ETH ($3.5B) added since late May.
Due to Ethereum’s architecture, deposits and withdrawals can’t happen instantly, creating queues when limits are exceeded. The record outflow highlights shifting dynamics in ETH staking activity.

Bitcoin Whales Shrinking
The average BTC holding per whale (addresses with 100–10,000 BTC) has been steadily declining since November 2024 and now sits at 488 BTC — the lowest level since December 2018.
This trend suggests whales are either distributing their BTC, reducing exposure, or profits are being realized, signaling a shift in large-holder behavior.
Keep an eye on whale activity — it often hints at market sentiment before major moves.

🏀 NBA star Forgot His Bitcoin Password!
NBA star Kevin Durant can’t access his old Coinbase account, where he started stacking BTC back in 2016.
His agent Rich Kleiman isn’t worried though:
👉 “We never sold anything, and Bitcoin just kept mooning — it only benefited us.”
Durant bought BTC when it was $360–$1,000. Now it’s at ~$116K — over +11,000% since then. 🚀
Coinbase says they’re working on recovery, but for now KD’s forgotten password is turning into the best “HODL strategy” of all time.
