🚨 $ZEC whale just capitulated.

Garrett Jin (@GarrettBullish), the largest $ZEC short, closed his entire 38,000 $ZEC ($58.5M) position at a staggering $35.44M loss.
But he’s still holding 202,078 $ZEC worth $309.25M on-chain, with $221M in unrealized profit.
The short is gone. The whale’s spot bet remains. 👀
Is this a sign of more upside for $ZEC?

🚨 $BTC holds above $81,000, riding the wave after the SEC cleared onchain trading of tokenized US stocks (Thursday) and sparked a short squeeze

🔹 $NEAR is the standout — up ~23% to $4, as $NEAR Intents (its cross-chain swap service) saw daily $ZEC volume jump 6x in a week, with wallets like ZODL & Vizor plugging in $ZEC swaps
🔹 $ZEC +3% to ~$1,500, $BNB +2% to ~$777, $ETH & $HYPE +2%
Macro tailwind: Asian equities + US futures rose on "very successful" US-China trade talks ahead of the Trump-Xi summit; Brent crude fell to ~$101, easing inflation worries.

🚀 $BTC breached $87,000 Monday — first time since Jan 30 — triggering a market-wide altcoin surge
🔹 $ETH +6% to $2,770 (touched $2,800), mcap $338B, YTD losses now under 7%
🔹 $BNB crossed $800 for the first time since late Jan (hit $806)
🔹 $XRP $1.40 → $1.54, double-digit gain
🔹 $DOGE led top-tier alts, +14%
🔹 $SUI +15%, $TAO +19%, $XLM +11%
Losers: $ZEC -1.4% (still +24% over 24 weeks), $NEAR -1.6%, $ENA -4.7%
Altcoin mcap jumped from ~$1.25T to nearly $1.3T. Santiment flagged ~$648M in short liquidations fueling the squeeze:
"Sudden volume expansion usually means the crowd has flipped from hesitation to conviction... yet another vertical volume surge could eventually signal FOMO becoming crowded rather than fresh demand."

📉↗️ Jim Cramer said on Aug 3 he was dumping all his $BTC over quantum computing fears (per IBM's Arvind Krishna: "give yourself three or four years... I would get rather paranoid").
49 days later: $BTC is up ~37%, from $63,520 to an $87,395 intraday high — adding $475B in market cap.
Not his first miss: called BTC "monopoly money" in 2017, sold in 2021, warned of a crash after ETFs launched in 2024.

🚨 Binance just bought $100M in Circle (CRCL) stock — 1.24M shares at $80.84, ~14% below Monday's close
Deal terms:
🔹 2-year lockup, no hedging allowed, but Binance keeps full voting rights
🔹 Alongside a new 5-year commercial deal — Binance will promote $USDC via Circle's Modular Smart Contract Wallet
🔹 Circle pays Binance a monthly fee based on USDC balances in that wallet (% undisclosed)
Timing context: this came just 2 days after the CLARITY Act stalled and CRCL fell 11% in a session. Stock has since recovered — closed at $94.49 Monday (+2.95%), traded $95.76 in Tuesday pre-market
Binance got in at $80.84. The market says $95.50.

📉 US crypto ownership among investors fell to 11%, down from 17% in 2025 — Gallup
📊 63% of investors call crypto "very risky" — even 47% of current owners agree
📊 Men 18-49 remain the top-owning group at 24% (down from 33%), still 2x+ any other group
Still well above 2021's 6% and 2018's 2%. Top reason nonowners cite: not enough information.

⚰️ $BTC has been declared "dead" 478 times since 2010. Here's what $1,000 invested at each obituary would be worth today:
🔹 2011, Forbes ("So, That's the End of Bitcoin Then"): $4,922,700
🔹 2017, Jamie Dimon ("a fraud... worse than tulip bulbs"): $20,700
🔹 2018, Warren Buffett ("rat poison squared"): $8,800
🔹 2019, Trump ("not a fan... value based on thin air"): $7,300
🔹 2022, ECB ("last gasp before the road to irrelevance"): $5,000
🔹 2024, ECB again ("the naked emperor's new clothes," fair value zero): $1,700
Peter Schiff leads the obituary count with 26 calls, ahead of Buffett's 8. Dimon later said he regretted it — JPMorgan now holds BTC. Buffett's Berkshire softened its stance in 2025. Trump ran and won on a pro-crypto platform.
$BTC trades near $86,500 today, up 14% in 7 days

🚨 ~11.7M $XRP (~$20M) drained from D'CENT App Wallet users between Sept 15-20
📊 6,678 wallets hit across 6 coordinated waves, using keys the attacker already controlled — no XRPL exploit, all valid signatures
📊 5,001 accounts deleted outright to claim reserve balances; 2,470 of those had never even been swept before
📊 ~5.6M XRP routed to Ethereum via THORChain, rest through Binance, unionchain.ai & NEAR Intents — often off-ramped within hours
📊 ~1.3M XRP still sat in attacker wallets as of Sept 21
D'CENT confirmed hardware wallets are unaffected — only the App Wallet. No word yet on reimbursement.
$XRP trading near $1.49, -6% in 24h, ~$93.82B mcap (#5)
If you've ever used D'CENT's App Wallet, security researchers say migrate funds now.

🚨 $BTC fell below $84,000 Wednesday, reversing a morning rally above $87,000, as a hot US PMI report sent yields higher
📊 Composite PMI hit 58.4 — fastest growth since July 2021
📊 10-year Treasury yield spiked to 5.058%, a 19-year high, reviving Fed hike fears
Higher yields make non-yielding assets like $BTC less attractive

🚨 An iPhone app called FomoPeek, marketed as a "read-only" crypto monitoring tool, secretly carried malicious code — found in official App Store versions 1.1 and 1.2 — SlowMist
The code could bypass iPhone security, pull data from other apps (targeting 19 wallet/note-taking apps), and send it to a remote server
A wallet linked to the attacker has received ~$580K (579,984 USDT) since Sept 15
Affected versions were live Sept 9-17, removed in v1.3. SlowMist's advice: anyone who ran v1.1/1.2 should treat their seed phrases and private keys as compromised and move funds to a new wallet on a clean device

🚨 $ETH just printed its first higher high since the Aug 2025 ATH — reaching $2,807, with old resistance at $2,438 flipping into support
Weekly RSI climbed to 64. A break above $2,920 could open the path to $3,400

⚠️ But daily RSI is showing bearish divergence — higher price highs, lower momentum highs, plus falling volume
Key level: holding $2,440 keeps the bullish structure intact; losing it risks a drop to $1,950-$2,000

🚨 $BTC trades near $84,000, highest since Jan 2026 — but analyst Benjamin Cowen says it all comes down to one candle: this week's close
A strong weekly close above ~$82,500 (May highs) would confirm the breakout into a new bull market. A drop back below could turn it into a false start.

Headwind: 10-year Treasury yield hit 5% Wednesday, a 19-year high, as hot PMI data revives Fed hike fears — higher yields make BTC less attractive

"For breakout traders, I think the weekly candle is worth watching closely for either confirmation of the breakout or a failed move back into the range." — Benjamin Cowen

📊 Attackers drained ETH, BNB, AVAX & USDT0 across 3 hot wallets + 1 cold wallet, consolidated into one address — per Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic
"Cold wallets remain fully secure. Bitget operates a three-tier wallet architecture." — Gracy Chen
Possibly the biggest hack of 2026. $BGB dropped ~2.9% on the news

🚨 $BTC holds near $84,000 after dipping to $83,229, pressured by macro headwinds: 30-year Treasury yield hit its highest since 2004, Brent crude back above $100, Fed officials sounding hawkish
$67M liquidated (longs: $47M, shorts: $20M)

Yet the setup looks different from past rebounds:
📊 BTC never closed below its Realized Price during the pullback — no capitulation, just stress
📊 Spot volume has more than doubled since August's low; ETF demand strengthening
📊 Next resistance: mean MVRV price near $96,700
A $14B options expiry (167K contracts, max pain $79K) just passed — dealer gamma exposure now shifts higher, above $90K
"With risk assets continuing to show resilience in the face of so much uncertainty, this makes for a good setup as we move toward Q4 2026." — Andrew Melville, Block Scholes

🚨 $BTC ETFs logged their 6th straight day of inflows Thursday, adding $190.65M — BlackRock's IBIT led with $162.63M

Other ETFs also gained: $ETH +$66.01M, $SOL +$32.81M, $XRP +$14.89M, $HYPE +$4.77M. $ZEC flat for a 2nd day, but AUM hit $1B

⚠️ Derivatives flashing caution: BTC open interest back to May levels, Hyperliquid BTC OI tops $3B, and the basis turned negative

"When the basis flips while open interest increases, it means shorts are adding to their positions... traders are betting the move up will be short-lived." — Brian Huang, Glider

ETF demand strong, but derivatives market positioning for a pullback
