    Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Crosses $2 Billion Market Cap

    Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has surpassed $2 billion in market cap, with $963 million issued on the XRP Ledger and $1.1 billion on Ethereum. The milestone marks significant growth for the token, which launched just last year. Experts said the jump is important given how much network effects and adoption time typically factor into stablecoin growth. XRP price has also jumped more than 25% in the last seven days and it also hit $1.66 before erasing some of the gains.

    $40T Debt Is Bitcoin’s Real Bull Case, Says BlackRock Exec

    BlackRock digital assets head Robbie Mitchnick said rising US debt and persistent fiscal deficits are becoming a core market concern, pushing some investors toward alternative stores of value like Bitcoin and gold. Federal debt reached roughly $40.05 trillion on August 18. Mitchnick said fiscal sustainability matters more to Bitcoin’s long-term valuation than the pending Clarity Act, arguing the bill’s impact would be felt more strongly elsewhere in crypto, particularly DeFi, than for Bitcoin itself.

    Why Is XRP Price Down Today?

    XRP is trading at $1.41, down 1.61% today, as heavy leverage on Bitfinex begins to unwind. XRP long positions on the exchange surged from 4.9 million in June to a peak of 6.45 million in late August, one of the largest leverage buildups this cycle, according to trading data. Positions have since fallen back to 5.62 million as longs get flushed out of the market. Bitcoin traded at $78,762.19, up 0.4% over 24 hours, while Ethereum held near $2,494.76, up 2.2%. Traders are watching whether XRP finds support here or extends its pullback further.

    Thailand SEC Proposes Bitcoin, ETH ETF Rules

    Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission opened a public comment period on Monday for draft regulations covering crypto exchange-traded funds, marking a formal step toward introducing regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products in the country. The proposal covers two areas. A regulatory framework for establishing crypto ETFs in Thailand, and revised qualification standards for foreign custodians handling digital assets on behalf of mutual funds and private funds. The SEC said the goal is to broaden investment opportunities for investors, support product diversity in Thailand’s capital market, and set consistent standards for offshore digital asset custody.

    Altcoin ETFs Aren’t Dead Despite Pulled Filings

    Grayscale withdrew its ETF applications for Cardano, Hedera, and Polkadot this week, prompting questions about whether altcoin ETFs are losing momentum. Zach Pandl of Grayscale pushed back on that read.

    “It would be a mistake to say that altcoins in some broader sense are dead,” Pandl said, calling the crypto asset class large and diverse, with many applications beyond Bitcoin still in early stages, including stablecoins, tokenized assets, and perpetual futures.

    Pandl said Grayscale continues evaluating market demand and technology outlook to decide which products to launch, adding that not every digital asset will succeed the way Bitcoin has. He said the firm remains selective but sees continued opportunity across the broader altcoin space.

    XRP Price Falls Today After Explosive 46% Weekly Rally

    XRP is trading at $1.47, down 2% on the day, after a 46.8% surge over the past week. The pullback comes despite strong onchain signals: receiving addresses spiked 698%, according to data shared, alongside three straight days of record trading volume for Bitwise’s XRP ETF, topping $80 million today alone. However, XRP remains well above levels from earlier this month despite today’s dip.

    Garlinghouse Says XRP Already Has Legal Clarity

    Brad Garlinghouse says XRP has already cleared its legal hurdle. Ripple’s CEO pointed to a federal judge’s ruling from the company’s four-year fight with the SEC: XRP itself is not a security.

    “That is clarity for XRP,” Garlinghouse said.

    But he says that’s not enough. Ripple’s position is that the whole crypto industry needs the same certainty, which is why the company is pushing hard for the Clarity Act.

    Garlinghouse pointed to optimism from lawmakers Tim Scott and Patrick Whit, who spoke earlier at the same event, as reason for his own confidence in the bill’s chances. “They’re optimistic. So I’ll be optimistic,” he said.

    XRP Solana Hyperliquid Crypto Funds

    About $90 million flowed into altcoin funds last week as prices climbed. XRP rose roughly 50% from recent lows to around $1.60, while Solana funds attracted $28.34 million and Hyperliquid funds received $3.89 million. The inflows show growing institutional interest beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hyperliquid also received a potential policy boost from Trump, while Solana is preparing its Alpenglow upgrade. The upgrade is expected between August and October and aims to speed up transactions.

    Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo Report Millions in XRP ETF Exposure

    Goldman Sachs reported about $86.5 million in XRP ETF exposure across five products, while Wells Fargo disclosed roughly $9.18 million. XRP ETF trading volume also exceeded $100 million during the session. The filings show regulated XRP products are gaining a presence in major institutional portfolios, giving banks and asset managers access without directly holding XRP. However, 13F filings only show quarter-end positions and do not confirm long-term bullish bets. Further institutional disclosures are expected in future filings.

The firm highlighted SpaceX’s reported acquisition of Cursor, which generates about $4 billion in annual recurring revenue, with 75% from businesses. JPMorgan expects Cursor to support SpaceX’s enterprise AI strategy, model training and Grok’s performance. The acquisition is expected to strengthen SpaceX’s AI capabilities as it develops Grok further.

    Machi Big Brother Builds $113M Bitcoin and Ethereum Long Positions

    Crypto trader Machi Big Brother has opened about $113 million in leveraged long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum after his account balance previously fell below $60,000. His positions include 668 BTC worth about $54 million and 23,350 ETH worth about $59 million, according to on-chain data. The move shows he is betting on further gains after recovering sharply from earlier losses. However, the positions carry significant liquidation risk because they use leverage. Any sharp decline in Bitcoin or Ethereum could quickly turn the trade against him and trigger forced liquidations

    Tom Lee Says Ethereum price Rally Is Getting Started

    Ethereum’s latest rally could be the start of a much larger move, according to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee. ETH gained about 30% in a week, and Lee noted that similar weekly gains in May 2025 and July 2021 were followed by strong rallies. He believes easier financial conditions could further support crypto prices. Lee also highlighted growing Wall Street interest in tokenization and the rise of agentic AI as potential catalysts for Ethereum. He said ETH’s recent gains were overdue as crypto fundamentals improve. Meanwhile, Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings have grown to nearly 5.85 million ETH, showing its continued confidence in the asset.

    Why Bitcoin is Going Up

    Bitcoin is rising sharply today as several bullish factors strengthen market sentiment. Bitcoin climbed from around $64,000 to nearly $80,000 in one week, gaining about 22%. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $2 billion in weekly inflows, signaling strong institutional demand. The rally also pushed Bitcoin above key levels, including its 200-day moving average and the $77,000 market mean. At the same time, growing speculation around U.S. Treasury bond buybacks and potential dollar weakness is supporting demand for alternative assets. Together, stronger ETF flows, improving technical momentum and shifting Treasury policy expectations are helping drive Bitcoin’s latest surge.

    Will Bitcoin Continue To Go Up

    Bitcoin rose 2.68% to $77,271.75 in 24 hours as improved U.S. liquidity and supportive crypto regulation boosted market sentiment. The move was amplified by a short squeeze, with more than $1.2 billion in Bitcoin short positions liquidated as traders were forced to cover losses. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added another $606.29 million on August 20, extending the inflow streak and providing additional buying pressure. Bitcoin now faces key support at $75,000, while holding that level could keep the recovery on track toward $79,463.

    Why is Crypto Going Up

    The crypto market rose 3.21% to $2.62 trillion in 24 hours, led by Bitcoin and stronger investor confidence around crypto regulation. The rally was supported by $606.29 million in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows on August 20, while traders also rotated into higher-risk altcoins. Bitcoin’s move helped lift the broader market, with some correlation to gold as macro factors remained supportive. The market is now watching $2.53 trillion as key support. Holding above that level could keep the rally intact, while a break below it may trigger a pullback.

    Crypto Flash Crash Wipes Out $500M in Long Positions

    The crypto market saw a sharp sell-off, with Bitcoin falling 2.5%, Ethereum 5%, Solana 11.5% and XRP 37%. Around $500 million in long positions were liquidated within an hour, pushing total 24-hour liquidations toward $1.82 billion. Most of the liquidations involved leveraged long positions on major exchanges, including Binance. The drop highlights how high leverage and thin market liquidity can amplify sudden price moves. Traders remain divided over the cause, with some pointing to market manipulation while others see it as a broader deleveraging event.

    Bitcoin Price Rallies 20% as Futures Demand Returns

    Bitcoin gained more than 20% in three days as demand returned across both spot and futures markets. BTC open interest increased by $2.5 billion, including $1.5 billion on Binance, which now accounts for 37% of total market open interest. Binance also saw a sharp rise in futures activity, with its seven-hour moving average of net taker volume reaching its highest level since 2024. After Bitcoin broke above $65,000, more than $246 million in net buying pressure entered Binance within hours, marking the strongest surge in futures buying pressure on the platform in two years. The combination of renewed spot demand, stronger futures buying and short liquidations helped accelerate Bitcoin’s rally.

    Is XRP Going To Go Up

    XRP rose 17.92% to $1.31 in 24 hours, outperforming Bitcoin’s 8.85% gain as investors responded to improving regulatory sentiment. A White House crypto meeting on August 19-20, attended by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and U.S. regulators, helped strengthen expectations for clearer crypto rules. XRP also received $13.23 million in U.S. spot ETF inflows, while whales accumulated about 300 million XRP in 96 hours. XRP now faces resistance around $1.42, while holding $1.25 could keep the recovery intact. However, an RSI near 78 suggests the rally is becoming overextended.

    Bitcoin Price Today Breaks $76,000

    Bitcoin price today has surged above $76,000, extending a sharp four-day rally from around $62,700. The move has pushed BTC roughly 22% higher, while a wave of forced short closures has amplified the gains. Recent data shows crypto short liquidations reached record levels, with more than $3.8 billion wiped out over two days. The rally was not without catalysts, however. U.S. Treasury bond buybacks, stronger Bitcoin ETF demand and improving crypto regulatory sentiment helped trigger the initial breakout before short covering accelerated the move.

    Why are Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Prices Up Today?

    Crypto is surging while stocks fall. Bitcoin jumped 10.3% to $72,090, Ethereum soared 17.8% to $2,291, and XRP climbed 20.4% to $1.25. Total crypto market cap rose 13%, adding $291 billion, even as the S&P 500 dropped 1.83%, erasing $1.4 trillion. This unusual split comes after the Treasury announced it would double long-term bond buybacks, briefly crashing yields before they partly rebounded. Falling yields make riskier assets like crypto more attractive, fueling the rally even as traditional markets struggled with the same news.

    Pi Network PayPal Integration Remains Unconfirmed as KYB Listing Is Missing

    PayPal has not yet been added to Pi Network’s KYB-verified business list, meaning reports of an official PayPal integration with Pi remain unconfirmed. Unofficial claims suggested that PayPal had added PI to its “Pay with Crypto” program alongside assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Solana. However, PayPal is not currently listed as a verified business on Pi’s KYB platform. Exchanges including OKX and MEXC have completed KYB verification. For now, any PayPal-PI integration should be treated as a potential development, not an official partnership.

    Why is Bitcoin Rising?

    Bitcoin is rising because several positive factors are supporting prices at the same time. Lower U.S. Treasury yields and a weaker dollar are making Bitcoin more attractive to investors. Bitcoin ETFs are also seeing renewed buying, pointing to stronger institutional demand. Positive developments around U.S. crypto regulations, including progress on the CLARITY Act, are improving market confidence. Another major factor is the large number of short positions being closed as Bitcoin moves higher. More than $2.7 billion in short positions were liquidated, adding further buying pressure.

    Bitcoin gained about 7.1% in its strongest daily performance since February 2026, as more than $1.4 billion in short positions were liquidated across the crypto market. Short sellers betting on lower prices were forced to buy Bitcoin back as the price rose, adding more buying pressure and pushing the rally higher. Binance accounted for more than $311 million in Bitcoin short liquidations within hours. The sharp move highlights how quickly leveraged positions can amplify Bitcoin’s price swings and create sudden market-wide rallies.

Upbit remains the largest holder with around 6.4 billion XRP, while Upbit and Bithumb together hold about 76% of the tracked reserves. Lower exchange balances can reduce immediately available supply, but they do not by themselves confirm buying or future price gains.

    President Donald Trump said CFTC Chair Michael Selig is working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. under a fully compliant legal framework. The comments were made at a White House crypto event on August 19. This matters because Hyperliquid is a major platform for perpetual futures, but it currently does not serve U.S. users. A regulated U.S. pathway could give the platform access to the American derivatives market. The CFTC will need to determine how Hyperliquid can meet U.S. rules. Selig is expected to provide more details at the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee meeting.

    Bitcoin price is rising today as investors respond to a more crypto-friendly U.S. policy outlook and improving market sentiment. President Donald Trump’s push for Congress to pass the Clarity Act has boosted expectations for clearer crypto rules, while the SEC’s proposed framework for crypto fundraising added to optimism. Bitcoin also gained after the U.S. Treasury increased planned bond buybacks, helping push bond yields and the dollar lower. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs also saw about $189 million in net inflows on August 18. The move above $69,000 was further supported by short liquidations, adding more buying pressure to the market.

    Bitcoin Trading Volume Falls Below $1B as Market Activity Slows

    Bitcoin spot trading volume on Binance has fallen below $1 billion, marking one of the lowest levels since 2023. The decline highlights a sharp slowdown in market activity compared with March 2024, when daily volumes regularly exceeded $15 billion. Binance accounts for nearly 40% of total crypto trading volume, making the drop notable. Lower volumes suggest weaker investor participation and could also signal reduced volatility as Bitcoin enters a quieter market phase.

    The FBI may have identified the attackers behind the first wave of the July 2026 Coldcard hardware wallet exploit, which resulted in the theft of 1,082.65 BTC worth about $11.8 million, according to Bitcoin Magazine. Investigations by Block and Galaxy Research found that the attackers used a paid blockchain data provider while moving the stolen funds. The provider’s internal logs reportedly matched the attackers’ activity patterns. Investigators are still tracking other waves linked to the Coldcard exploit.
