Bitcoin is finally showing signs of decoupling from stocks
BlackRock's digital-assets chief says BTC has recently become less correlated with equities, and in July it held up relatively well even as AI-related stocks came under pressure.
That's exactly the scenario institutional investors have been waiting for: Bitcoin becoming a genuine portfolio diversifier, rather than simply another leveraged bet on the Nasdaq.
If this trend continues, BTC could gradually strengthen its case as a standalone asset class—with its own drivers instead of simply following the stock market.
Maybe Bitcoin is finally becoming what Wall Street wanted it to be all along?

Binance Reclaims Bitcoin Futures Crown From CME
For the first time since late 2023, Binance leads Bitcoin futures open interest — holding ~148,500 BTC against CME's 102,840. That's a meaningful reversal of two years of "institutions are taking over" narrative.
Whether it signals genuine retail resurgence or simply institutional caution during macro uncertainty, the shift is hard to ignore. TradFi had the throne; it just lost it.

📈 Accurate Bitcoin forecasts can pay out at 5x or more
Glimpse runs on a simple mechanism that's different from anything else in crypto trading: instead of buying or shorting an asset, you forecast the price range it will trade in. Accurate calls are paid out in Bitcoin — and the narrower and more precise your call, the bigger the payout.
That structure changes the incentive entirely. A trending market and a flat one both offer a play — the edge comes from reading where price will land, not from picking a direction and hoping for volatility.
Glimpse recently expanded its forecasting markets beyond Bitcoin to include Ethereum, Solana and Gold, all live now.
Deposits and withdrawals run on Lightning. Glimpse is licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Digital Asset Business Act, positioning itself as compliance-first as forecasting markets start moving into the mainstream.

🚀 CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE — ALTS ARE MOVING
The crypto market continues to push higher.
🌐 Total market cap: ~$2.62T (+1.78% / 24H)
💰 24H volume: ~$92.43B
₿ BTC dominance: 59.22%
📊 Biggest moves among major crypto
🟠 BTC — $77,369 | +1.73% (24H)
♦️ ETH — $2,442 | +1.58% (24H)
⚡️ XRP — $1.48 | +1.70% (24H)
🟣 SOL — $94.07 | +1.74% (24H)
🟡 BNB — $699.90 | +0.83% (24H)
🔥 The real standouts are in DeFi and privacy:
🟢 AAVE — $143.07 | +16.09% (24H)
🔵 MORPHO — $2.73 | +20.37% (24H)
🛡 ZEC — $833.07 | +7.31% (24H)
AAVE and MORPHO are clearly outperforming the broader market, with both DeFi tokens posting double-digit gains in just 24 hours. ZEC is also showing a strong move, while BTC, ETH, XRP and SOL continue grinding higher rather than exploding vertically.
The key takeaway: this isn't just a Bitcoin move anymore. Money is rotating into selected altcoins, with DeFi currently one of the strongest areas of the market.
🚀 BTC is holding the market up. Alts are starting to accelerate.
⚠️ DYOR. Don't chase green candles.

DeFi Lenders Lose $83M to Price Manipulation Attacks
Two DeFi lending protocols were drained of over $83 million in four days via price-manipulation exploits — the very attack vector US regulators had previously flagged. Tectonic on the Cronos blockchain took the heavier hit, with security firm GoPlus estimating roughly $75 million affected. Moonwell's MAMO lending market was struck three days earlier for the remainder.
Regulators warned. Protocols didn't harden fast enough. The bill just arrived.

Critical Alby Hub Flaw Could Drain Lightning Wallets
Bitcoin Lightning wallet provider Alby has disclosed a critical security vulnerability in older versions of Alby Hub — the kind that lets attackers take over internet-exposed wallets and move funds without permission.
The flaw affects versions v1.7.0 through an unspecified later release, and only applies where users had made their self-hosted Hub reachable from the internet. Alby disclosed the issue on September 9, 2026. If you're running an older version with public internet exposure, the advice is obvious — update immediately.

⚖️ EU Watchdogs Flag Quantum Risk to $586B in Bitcoin
The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities has issued a formal warning: quantum computers capable of cracking blockchain encryption could arrive before the industry is ready — and before anyone's found a practical use for the machines beyond breaking things.
The concern is concrete. Legacy Bitcoin addresses with exposed public keys are already theoretically vulnerable, and the warning reignites an active debate among Bitcoin developers over how — or whether — to protect them. $586B in BTC sits in the crosshairs if quantum decryption matures faster than post-quantum cryptography standards.
The awkward truth: the threat may be real, but the timeline is anyone's guess.
