📉 Crypto markets are cooling off! 🥶

According to CryptoQuant, overall trading activity is dropping, and selling pressure is taking over. 🤔

The shift is clear in Bitcoin futures, where trader sentiment points toward expectations of further price declines. Whales are less dominant, and retail is calling more of the shots now. 🐳➡️👥

RSI on TOTAL3 and OTHERS/ETH suggests altcoins are oversold! ↗️

😋 And don’t forget — next week the Fed rate decision is coming. Could be fireworks for the market! 🎆

🤔 The Fed might slash rates by 50 bps in September- CoinDesk.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Labor Department revised job growth for the year ending March 2025 — down 911k jobs, the biggest cut in history. Turns out the labor market is much weaker than NFP reports showed.

📉 If these numbers came earlier, the Fed would’ve already started cutting. Now markets expect a 0.5% drop, but recession fears linger.

💰 BTC panicked, briefly dipping below $111K, before bouncing back to ~$112.5K.

😱 Santiment says traders are drowning in FUD

Many now expect BTC to sink below $100K, ETH under $3.5K, and alts to retrace. 👀

But markets love to move against the crowd — meaning all this doom talk could actually be bullish. 🐂

When everyone screams “dump incoming,” it’s often the perfect setup for the opposite. 😉

🚀 $MYX token went from $0.10 in July to a new ATH of $18.06 today!

💥 Top of the liquidation charts: $47M wiped out in 24h.
📊 TVL is $30M, but market cap hit $3.5B — looks like the market maker went overboard 👍
👀 Or maybe Consensys is gearing up to back MYX?

💡 Fun fact: 94.5% of supply sits in just 10 wallets. Extreme centralization, extreme volatility!

🤔 CryptoQuant analysts expect the bull market peak in Oct–Nov 2025

🔹 Market is now in a mature growth phase.
🔹 Heavy selling at $70K slowed things, but recent sales from long-term holders at $98K and $117K were easily absorbed by buyers.
🔹 Institutional demand is stretching the cycle, pushing the top later than usual.
🔹 Historically, the peak comes when BTC trades far above the realized price of long-term holders.

⏳ Translation: the top isn’t here yet.

🇻🇳 Vietnam has approved a 5-year pilot program for crypto trading

🚀 BNB just hit a new all-time high above $900 after Binance announced a partnership with Franklin Templeton

📢 The goal: bridge TradFi and blockchain by giving corporate clients tools for tokenization and digital asset trading.

🤝 Franklin Templeton brings expertise in tokenization & crypto ETFs, while Binance provides trading + custody infrastructure.

🚀 ConsenSys (Linea) CEO says ETH will do 100x+ and even surpass BTC!

He argues Tom Lee’s $706K target isn’t bullish enough — ETH will power the decentralized economy of the future as the ultimate trust layer. 💎

But while the vision sounds epic, Ethereum’s L2s are tripping:

▪️ Linea went down for an hour yesterday ⌛️
▪️ ScrollDAO paused operations indefinitely
▪️ Starknet stopped producing blocks again, just 8 days after the last outage ⚡️

Big dreams, shaky layers. 😅

Among the Top 100 corporate Bitcoin holders, a trend is emerging: small extra buys to climb the leaderboard🔝

Example: The Smarter Web just bought 30 BTC, pushing them back into the Top 25.с👏

They even admitted Sequans, the company just ahead of them, is “definitely on our radar.” 👀

Looks like the corporate BTC game is turning into a scoreboard battle. 🏆

🐳 Smaller whales are stacking BTC!

The number of wallets holding 100–1,000 BTC just hit a new all-time high. These mid-sized whales are betting big on the continuation of the bull run. 🐃

When even “small” whales are loading up, it’s usually a bullish signal. 🚀

🇮🇳 India is taking a cautious path on crypto

A leaked government document shows the country will avoid creating a full legal framework, keeping only partial oversight.

Key points:

▪️Regulating crypto could give it legitimacy and pose systemic risks ⚠️
▪️An outright ban wouldn’t stop P2P or DEX trading 🔄
▪️Heavy taxes already discourage speculation 💸
▪️Stablecoins are the biggest worry — they could weaken India’s UPI digital payments system 💳

So while the U.S. embraces stablecoins, India prefers to keep crypto at arm’s length. 👀

📉 Stocks of companies holding crypto reserves are tumbling despite crypto’s rise

▪️MicroStrategy (MSTR) fell from July’s $457 to $328 — lowest since April.
▪️Japan’s Metaplanet (3350) lost over 60% from its June peak.
▪️Many of these 60+ firms had no crypto ties before 2025, raising capital via stocks/debt to buy BTC/ETH.

Experts say it’s predictable: such stocks often swing 4–5x harder than Bitcoin itself. Retail sell-offs add extra pressure.

Biggest losers:

▪️Smarter Web (SWC) – down 70% since April
▪️Alt5 Sigma (ALTS) – down 61% after Trump-linked deal
▪️BitMine (BMNR) & GameSquare (GAME) – both down ~67%

Crypto on balance sheet ≠ safe stock play. 👀

📈 Solana DeFi keeps breaking records: TVL has hit a new all-time high of $12.41B!

The surge shows strong demand for Solana-based protocols and positions the chain as one of the key hubs in the DeFi landscape.

🕰 A Bitcoin time capsule just opened: after 13 years of dormancy, a wallet holding 444.81 BTC (~$50.7M) finally moved funds

The owner transferred 137 BTC ($15.6M) — sending 132 BTC to a fresh wallet and 5 BTC to Kraken, likely to sell. 💵

Back in 2012, these coins were worth just $5.4K at $12 per BTC. Today, that’s a 9,300x gain. The whale still holds 307 BTC (~$35M) untouched. 👀

🕵️ Analysts at CryptoQuant believe Ethereum is in its strongest cycle ever 💪

ETH is solidifying its role as both an investment asset and the leading settlement blockchain.

Institutional demand, staking levels, and on-chain activity are all hovering near record highs. 🚀

🐳 Another ancient crypto holder just woke up after 13 years of silence, moving 232 BTC (~$26.5M) to a new address 🧐

Back in 2012, these coins were bought for just $2,700 — talk about diamond hands. 💎🚀

📊 Signs of altseason?

🔎 CryptoQuant notes ETH trading volume is dropping, while altcoin volume has spiked sharply over the past week.

Meanwhile, crypto Twitter is buzzing: the Altcoin Season Index hit 76 — a level that usually signals the start of a bull run. 🐂

Looks like the herd is shifting from ETH to alts. 👀

📉 Bears are slowly creeping in

🔎 A CryptoQuant analyst says 8 out of 10 signals in his Bull Score Index now point to a bearish trend for BTC.

Still, as long as Bitcoin holds above $115K, the picture remains fairly optimistic 🔼
