🏦 Aave Hits $60B Deposits — But Watch Out for Scams
💵 DeFi lending giant Aave has surpassed $60B in deposits, growing over $10B just since mid-July. If it were a traditional bank, it would rank among the Top 40 in the U.S. 😳
But here’s the catch:
⚠️ PeckShield warns that a phishing site posing as Aave is ranking first in Google ads. It’s designed to drain wallets and may contain malware.
📌 Double-check URLs. In DeFi, not all that glitters is yield.

📉 BTC in the “Air Gap”: Cautious Bounce, But No Breakthrough Yet
After peaking at $123K, Bitcoin slid into a low-liquidity zone between $110K–$116K, where support remains fragile.
📈 The rebound from $112K to $114K saw opportunistic buyers scoop up ~120K BTC, but Glassnode notes that supply in this range is still thin, meaning stronger accumulation is needed to form a solid base. 🧐
📊 Key signals:
▪️STH profit dropped to 70%
▪️ETF outflows hit -1.5K BTC, largest since April
▪️Funding rates have cooled, showing less bullish appetite
⚠️ With resistance at $116.9K still holding firm, bulls must reclaim it to avoid a deeper drop toward $110K. Market remains in a post-ATH pause, waiting for new demand to ignite the next move. 🚀

🧨 Salomon Brothers Target “Abandoned” BTC Wallets!
🏦 Investment bank Salomon Brothers has completed posting OP_Return notices on Bitcoin’s blockchain, targeting wallets deemed inactive for over 14 years, invoking the Doctrine of Abandonment to claim rights over the funds.
🕒 Wallet owners now have 90 days to respond—either by moving their assets or filling out a claim form on the bank’s website. Some users have already reacted by relocating their BTC.
🎯 The effort includes dormant wallets holding billions, like the infamous 1Feex address with 80,000 BTC.
⚖️ The initiative has sparked major controversy: it may set a dangerous precedent by legitimizing third-party claims to others' crypto assets.
🔓 It remains unclear how the bank plans to access the funds if wallet owners don’t respond.
🛡 Experts also warn about looming threats like quantum hacking—and criticize the Bitcoin community for moving too slowly to address such risks.

CryptoQuant: The weakest altcoin reaction of this cycle!
Despite BTC’s rise, large caps and especially mid/small caps are showing minimal gains — far from a real altseason.🧐
The last true altcoin surge was in early 2024, when many outperformed BTC briefly. Another wave came in late 2024–early 2025, but BTC still dominated. 📈
Now, altcoins are at their weakest point in the cycle — suggesting the altseason hasn’t even begun yet. 🤔
Patience might pay off. ⏳
