The latest data from CryptoQuant’s weekly report shows that Bitcoin remains in a bearish phase, and its correlation with gold has weakened.
Investors are increasingly turning to traditional assets, while Bitcoin is facing pressure from all sides.
An interesting fact — Bitcoin is decoupling from gold.
While gold has hit new record highs, Bitcoin continues to decline, leading to negative correlation between the two assets.
This indicates that investors are increasingly favoring safe-haven assets like gold, steering away from the risks associated with cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is not only losing its connection with gold but has also weakened alongside the U.S. stock markets.
The Nasdaq 100 Composite Index has fallen by 10%,
This further highlights how global economic trends are impacting the price of crypto assets.
As risks remain, Bitcoin continues to trail behind traditional assets like gold, which are once again proving their role as safe stores of value.

In recent weeks, Binance has added five tokens from the TON ecosystem to its listings.
This has sparked significant interest in the market.
Here are a few key factors that explain this phenomenon:
TON is closely tied to Telegram, which has an enormous user base.
Mini-apps within the TON ecosystem, such as Notcoin, Dogs, Hamster, and Catizen, attract millions of users.
For example, Hamster has already drawn over 250 million users, while Catizen reached 10 million within a few months.
Exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Bitget are actively adding TON ecosystem tokens to bring in new users.
Regions like the CIS and South Asia, where cryptocurrencies are not yet widely adopted, hold massive growth potential.
The TON ecosystem stands out for its diverse projects:
Notcoin launched mini-apps on Telegram, proving that millions of users can be attracted through Telegram-based games.
Dogs is a meme coin distributed via Telegram without complex game logic, which quickly exploded in the crypto community.
Catizen uses viral mechanics similar to platforms like Pinduoduo to attract new users.
Hamster Kombat is a project with strong ties to the CIS region, attracting users through its gaming mechanics.
Many TON ecosystem projects are actively promoted by Russian-speaking Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), who use Telegram to manage large communities.
These groups can reach tens of thousands of users, and through cross-promotion between projects, they achieve significant success within the ecosystem.
TapSwap, Blum, YEScoin are Tier 1 projects that are showing strong performance in the CIS region, offering unique user interaction mechanisms.
New user growth may slow down with the launch of additional mini-apps like Catizen and Hamster, as much of the user base is already covered.
The potential of the TON ecosystem is enormous.
Telegram is becoming a crucial platform for crypto projects.
TON’s ecosystem will continue to capture the attention of exchanges due to its scalability and unique integration with a large user base.

A story worthy of cybersecurity textbooks.
Grivis (Malone Ayam), Wiz (Vir Chetal), and Box (Jandiel Serrano) attempted to pull off a massive scam.
Spoiler alert:
How did they manage to steal $243M from the lender Genesis, and what evidence did they leave behind?
1. A call from "Google Support" – hacking the victim’s personal accounts. Classic move.
2. A fake call to Gemini support – supposedly to recover access to the compromised account.
3. Social engineering – convincing the victim to reset 2FA and transfer funds to a compromised wallet.
4. AnyDesk and private keys – the victim shared their screen, and the criminals got access to Bitcoin Core.
59.34 BTC — August 19, 1:48 UTC
14.88 BTC — August 19, 2:30 UTC
4064 BTC — August 19, 4:05 UTC
$243M was quickly spread across 15 exchanges and instantly exchanged for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Monero.
The scheme worked, but then the trio started making mistakes, revealing themselves.
Wiz revealed his full name during a screen-sharing session.
Audio recordings and chats were full of "Vir" mentions. Stealth level: zero.
Meanwhile, Grivis was living it up, blowing stolen money on parties in Miami and LA, burning through $500K in a single night.
But where there are parties, there are also cameras – and his friends’ social media posts led straight to him.
Box played the role of a Gemini representative.
He accidentally linked "clean" and "dirty" money by reusing a deposit address.
The same PFP on all platforms led investigators to easily track $18M tied to him.
Address: 0x6d865235ebb2504d3478fc1dd839100d210144df
Thanks to security teams and Binance’s cybercrime unit, over $9M was frozen.
$500K has already been returned.
Grivis and Box were arrested in Miami and LA.

The U.S. Federal Reserve unexpectedly cut interest rates by 50 basis points—from a 23-year high.
Now investors are left wondering: will this fuel economic growth, or are we on the brink of a new recession?
Global stocks surged to record highs, with the MSCI index among those reaching new peaks.
At the same time, currencies—from the euro to the Norwegian krone—strengthened against the dollar.
In the U.S., after a sluggish initial reaction, stocks began to rise.
The Bank of England chose to keep interest rates unchanged, citing concerns about inflation and global demand.
Traders have adjusted their forecasts for a rate cut in the UK, with the probability of a November cut now around 80%.
Meanwhile, in Europe, inflation hovers around 3%, and regulators are unsure if further rate cuts are warranted.
Some believe the Fed may cut rates too aggressively, accelerating U.S. economic growth.
This could, in turn, lead to rising prices for commodities and consumer goods.
Trevor Greetham from Royal London suggests that the Fed is creating the conditions for a sharp economic surge, but this may also trigger global inflation.
Some investors, including Tim Drayson from Legal & General, warn of potential global turbulence:
"Too much uncertainty, too many risks."
Many experts, like Neil Mehta from BlueBay Asset Management, argue that the U.S. economy remains too "hot," with GDP growth at 3% and inflation above target levels.
This could signal that aggressive rate cuts will overheat the economy, eventually leading to a recession.
This is significantly lower than its August peak, when markets were hit by an unexpected U.S. jobs report.
The Fed's sharp rate cut has triggered significant fluctuations in global markets.
Central banks around the world are reacting differently — while the Bank of England and Norway left rates unchanged, the Fed is doubling down on supporting the U.S. economy.
This adds to the uncertainty in the stock, bond, and currency markets.
Investors are preparing for volatility and closely watching the Fed's next moves, as they will shape the future course of the global economy.
