🐋 Big players tighten their grip on Bitcoin

Funds, corporations, and even governments now control 3.74M BTC — that’s nearly 18% of the entire supply. 💰

When the whales are holding this much, the real question is: how many sats are left for the rest of us? 🧐

📈 Bitcoin’s illiquid supply keeps climbing — more coins are moving into wallets with little to no spending history 🧐

That means fewer BTC circulating on the market, tightening supply — a trend often linked to stronger long-term price support. 🚀

⚡️ Big Bitcoin politics incoming!

Dennis Porter (CEO of SatoshiActFund) teased that major political news for BTC will drop on Tuesday — potentially reshaping its role in U.S. policy.

Some hint it’s tied to the CLARITY bill, also recently flagged by Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong. 🤔

The news could be bullish… but for now, Bitcoin is too busy falling to celebrate 😅

🐳 Big players keep stacking!

▪️ Strategy bought 850 BTC at ~$117,344 each — now holding 639,835 BTC ($72.1B) with avg. entry $73,971.
▪️Capital B added 551 BTC (€54.7M), bringing its stash to 2,800 BTC.

On the ETH side:

1️⃣ Bitmine boosted holdings to 2.41M ETH (+264,378 ETH).
2️⃣ ETHZilla is raising $350M to scoop more ETH.

Institutions clearly aren’t done buying 🚀

📊 Another crypto theory is making rounds: historically, a green September close often triggers a 2–3 month rally. 👀

With just a week left in the month, all eyes are on Bitcoin — will it hold its gains after the recent correction, or will September flip red?⏳📈

Hack worth $11M — but karma strikes back 🔮

🥷The UXLINK protocol was hacked, with attackers draining $11.3M in tokens. Funds were quickly moved to CEX and DEX exchanges.

But here’s the twist: the hacker himself fell for a phishing scam, losing 542M UXLINK ($48M). 😁

In total, he grabbed 490M tokens ($45M) and minted 2B more ($187M) — but ended up losing even more than he stole.

Guess he didn’t expect to get rugged by karma 🤷

Altseason is on pause again 🤷

The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center dropped to 65, below the 75 threshold needed to confirm altseason. Earlier this month it peaked at 78 — the highest since Dec 2024. 🧐

Bitcoin is taking the lead: its dominance surged to 58.8%, the strongest since early September. Meanwhile, many alts (PI, ICP, WBT, APT, TAO, XMR, TON, PEPE) lagged behind BTC over the past 90 days.

🧐 Correction might not be over yet

🔎 CryptoQuant analysts note the macro bull market is intact, but in the short term the market looks overheated.

📉 Their models suggest the correction could extend down to the +0.4 SD level before buyers regain control.

In other words — long-term bullish, but don’t rule out more short-term pain. 🤷

💳 Coinbase unveils what CEO Brian Armstrong calls the world’s 'best looking' crypto card

The card features an engraving of Bitcoin’s genesis block, created by Satoshi Nakamoto on Jan 3, 2009, including the famous message:

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" 📰

A sleek tribute linking your spending tool directly to crypto history. 🔗

📊 Glassnode notes that long-term Bitcoin holders are cashing out profits at near-historic levels

Are we approaching another key turning point? 👀

Ripple suddenly got political and musical clout 😉

Donald Trump Jr. just followed Ripple’s official X account 👀 — maybe still vibing after Brad Garlinghouse’s wedding last weekend.

And get this: the boss of Ripple had none other than Coldplay’s Chris Martin as the wedding singer 💃🎤

XRP army now waiting for the honeymoon pump 🚀

📉 Public companies with crypto reserves are now buying back their own shares after a sharp drop in stock prices - FT

At least 7 firms launched buybacks, with 5 of them trading below the value of their crypto holdings. 🧐

Example: ETHZilla — holding ~$460M in ETH — saw its stock fall 70% since August. It borrowed $80M against its crypto to fund part of a $250M buyback. 💵

Others like SharpLink Gaming (ETH), Ton Strategy (TON) and CEA Industries show the same pattern: stocks moon on crypto purchases, then crash, then trigger buybacks.

Experts warn this may be a sign of market overheating, calling some of these moves a “death rattle.” ⚠️

Santiment warns of growing FUD: the crowd expects Bitcoin to dump to $70K–$100K 👀

Meanwhile, bullish voices calling for $130K–$160K are much fewer.

And as we know, markets often move against majority expectations. So… should we start waiting for BTC at $160K instead? 😉

🚀 Brian Armstrong back on Fox Business dropping long-term vibes: BTC to $1M by 2030

Heads up – he’s all about playing the loooong game, not day-to-day swings. 🕰💎

HODLers, this one’s for you.

⚡️ BNB Chain is thinking turbo:

🔹 Gas fees could drop from 0.1 → 0.05 Gwei
🔹 Blocks sped up from 750ms → 450ms
🔹 Tx cost ~ $0.005 – now competing with Solana & Base

BNB Chain’s been slashing fees over the past 1.5 years (3 → 1 → 0.1 Gwei). Goal? Keep fees as low as possible while still rewarding stakers >0.5%.

⏳ Proposal stage – validators & users decide next move.

😬 Altseason vibes fading?

📉ETH just slipped under $4K — hasn’t happened in a while. Market-wide liquidations hit $430M, with longs taking most of the pain.

Is this the start of the end for alts, or just another shakeout before the next run? 👀

⏳ In about 165 days, we’ll hit a historic milestone: only 1,000,000 BTC left to mine!

From 21M total supply, over 20M will in circulation. The countdown is on — and scarcity keeps tightening. 🔥

📊 Global money supply (M2) is knocking on its all-time high

🔎 Analysts point out that every time M2 balloons, BTC tends to follow with a price rally.

Could be fresh fuel for the next leg up. 🚀
