    Machi Big Brother Sells Bored Ape NFT at Loss to Fund $5.3M ETH Long

    Machi Big Brother, the crypto trader also known as Jeffrey Huang, sold Bored Ape NFT #5715 for 8.3 ETH, worth about $15,570. He had bought the NFT three years ago for 34.17 ETH, taking a significant loss on the sale. The proceeds were used to support his 2,800 ETH long position worth about $5.3 million, with a liquidation price near $1,863. Huang has repeatedly sold NFTs to add funds to leveraged ETH positions on Hyperliquid, with his trading activity resulting in millions of dollars in losses.

    XRP Price Hits Lowest Close Since 2024 as Network Activity Rises

    XRP price closed near $1.00 on August 12, marking its lowest daily close since November 2024 and leaving the token about 69% below its January 2025 peak near $3.30. Despite the price weakness, XRP network activity has increased. Active addresses averaged about 35,700 per day in August, compared with roughly 26,400 in July, while new addresses remained almost unchanged at around 2,260 per day. This suggests existing XRP users are becoming more active, rather than a large wave of new users entering the network.

    Polygon Joins Bank of England Digital Pound Experiment

    Polygon has joined the Bank of England’s Digital Pound Lab alongside NOBO Finance and Dun & Bradstreet to test how stablecoins could work with a digital pound for cross-border payments. The project will explore ways to move between different forms of digital money with fewer delays and costs. Polygon will provide the smart contract infrastructure for the stablecoin settlement side, while the digital pound will run on the Bank of England’s simulated test system. The experiment will use test infrastructure and will not involve real customers or funds.

    Hyperliquid Opens Low-Latency Data Nodes for Infrastructure Providers

    Hyperliquid Foundation has opened access to its low-latency on-chain data nodes for qualified infrastructure providers, making the service available at standardized pricing of under $1,000 per month. Previously, direct access required users to stake 10,000 HYPE and qualify for Tier 1 maker rebates. That required more than 0.5% of the 14-day weighted maker volume. The new setup allows infrastructure providers to offer access without requiring users to meet those previous requirements.

    KOSPI Nears Bull Market Territory as South Korean Stocks Rebound

    South Korea’s KOSPI jumped more than 3.5%, reaching a three-week high as AI and semiconductor stocks led the recovery. The index has now gained nearly 30% from its late-July low below 5,300. Samsung Electronics is up about 40%, while SK Hynix has gained more than 30% from its July lows. Foreign investors are also returning, buying about $2 billion of KOSPI shares on Wednesday. However, Samsung and SK Hynix still make up more than 55% of the index, leaving the market highly dependent on global AI demand.

    South Korea Tightens Crypto Transfers to Overseas Exchanges and Wallets

    South Korea is tightening controls on transfers to overseas crypto platforms after apps including Bybit and MEXC were removed from the local Google Play Store. Under the revised rules, exchanges may ask users to verify account ownership, transaction purpose and source of funds before processing transfers. Transfers of 10 million won ($7,000) or more to overseas exchanges or self-hosted wallets will face closer monitoring for suspicious activity. The measures are part of South Korea’s broader effort to strengthen oversight of offshore crypto transactions.

    U.S. CPI Comes In at 3.4%, Matching Forecast

    U.S. inflation eased in July, with consumer prices rising 3.4% year over year, matching the 3.4% forecast and slowing from 3.5% previously. Consumer prices rose 0.1% month over month, also in line with expectations. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.2% month over month and 2.5% year over year, both matching forecasts. The data keeps the Federal Reserve’s next rate decision in focus, with investors watching how the reading affects expectations for future rate cuts and broader markets.

    Chainlink Whale Activity Hits 5-Month High as Large Holders Increase LINK Balances

    Chainlink whale activity has jumped, with 246 transactions worth more than $100,000 in LINK recorded in 24 hours, the highest daily level in five months. Wallets holding between 100,000 and 10 million LINK now control about 466.31 million LINK, or 46.57% of the total supply. The rise in both large transactions and whale holdings points to increased activity among major LINK holders. The move comes as Chainlink continues expanding its CCIP, tokenized asset, stablecoin and institutional data services. The higher whale activity could provide an important signal for LINK price direction as large holders become more active.

    When Will CPi Data Be Released?

    The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The report will show how consumer prices changed in July and will give investors a clearer view of inflation in the U.S. The data is closely watched because it can influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision. A higher-than-expected CPI reading could put pressure on stocks and cryptocurrencies, while softer inflation could support risk assets. Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies may see increased price movement around the release as traders react to the latest inflation numbers.

    SpaceX Stock Price Holds Near $140 as SPCX Bulls Target $150

    SpaceX stock price closed at $138.74, up 4.23%, after a strong rally lifted the stock back above its $135 IPO price. Shares were trading around $137 in premarket trading, as some investors took profits after the recent gains. The key level is now $140. A sustained move above it could put $145–$150 in focus, while support sits around $134–$136, followed by stronger support near $130. The stock has also seen increased trading activity following the recent lock-up expiration. The next major unlock is expected on August 20, which could add further volatility.

    XRP Price Today – August 11th

    XRP price is hovering around $1.02, with the token showing continued weakness on the four-hour chart. The key level to watch is now $1, with the $0.99–$1.00 area acting as immediate support. A break below $1 could open the way toward $0.94, followed by the broader $0.94–$0.86 support zone. Meanwhile, $1.036 is the first level bulls need to reclaim to improve the short-term outlook. With momentum remaining weak, XRP faces a key test around the $1 level. A strong rebound from this area could trigger a recovery, while a sustained break below it would increase the risk of further losses.

    Solana ETF Inflows Hit $8.8M, Highest Daily Level Since May 12

    Solana ETFs recorded $8.8 million in net inflows in a single day, marking their strongest daily inflow since May 12 after several months of limited activity. The renewed ETF demand comes as Solana continues to see growth across its ecosystem. Real-world asset value, stablecoin supply, tokenized equity trading and perpetuals activity have all reached notable levels in recent months, even as SOL price has remained relatively flat. Network development is also progressing, with Alpenglow targeting faster transaction finality, Agave 4.2 moving toward mainnet adoption, and expanded access to tokenized equities through Solana-based infrastructure.

    SK Hynix Becomes Kioxia’s Largest Shareholder With 14.19% Stake

    SK Hynix has become the largest shareholder of Japanese memory chipmaker Kioxia, with its investment vehicle SPC2 holding a 14.19% stake. The position dates back to SK Hynix’s 2018 investment of about 4 trillion won through convertible bonds. Kioxia ranks third globally in NAND memory behind Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Toshiba reduced its stake from 15.10% to 14.06% through share sales in July and August, allowing SK Hynix to take the top shareholder position. Despite the larger stake, regulatory and antitrust concerns make direct control of Kioxia unlikely. The move nevertheless gives SK Hynix its largest ownership position in a major rival in the global memory chip market.

    BitMine added another 7,391 ETH last week, bringing its total holdings to about 5.805 million ETH, or roughly 4.8% of Ethereum’s total supply. The company has been buying ETH every week since launching its treasury strategy in 2025 and is now close to its 5% ownership target. More than 4.9 million ETH is already staked through its MAVAN setup, generating an estimated $250 million in annual yield at current rates. BitMine is also continuing its share buyback program alongside its ETH purchases.

Its dollar reserve has increased to about $4.65 billion, giving the company additional funds for dividends, share purchases and other corporate needs.

    Binance Equity Futures Volume Hits $490B in July as TradFi Trading Expands

    Binance recorded nearly $490 billion in equity futures trading volume in July, highlighting growing demand for traditional financial assets within the crypto market. Trading in products linked to major U.S. stocks has increased across several crypto exchanges as investors look for ways to access traditional markets without leaving the crypto ecosystem. Other exchanges also recorded significant volumes, including MEXC, Bitget, Gate and Bybit, with monthly volumes ranging from about $72 billion to $32 billion. The trend shows that liquidity is spreading across more types of assets as investors diversify beyond cryptocurrencies. Despite Bitcoin’s decline this year, stablecoin supply has remained relatively strong, suggesting much of the capital is still within the crypto ecosystem and can move between different assets as market conditions change.

    Aztec Exploiter Deposits Another 300 ETH Into Tornado Cash

    The wallet linked to the Aztec Network Private Rollup Bridge exploit has deposited another 300 ETH, worth approximately $572,100, into Tornado Cash, according to PeckShield. The attacker has now deposited a total of 500 ETH into the mixer. Aztec Network suffered an exploit in June 2026, resulting in approximately $2.165 million in crypto losses. The latest transfers make it harder to track the movement of the stolen funds as the exploiter continues moving assets through Tornado Cash.

    DeFi TVL Rises for the First Time in Months, Hinting at a Possible Recovery

    The DeFi sector may be showing early signs of recovery after a difficult first half of 2026 marked by nearly $1 billion in hacks and exploits and a prolonged decline in crypto markets. According to CryptoRank, total DeFi total value locked (TVL) increased 5.3% in July to $73 billion, ending months of declines. TVL had dropped from $154 billion in October 2025 to $70 billion in June 2026, making July the first monthly increase in nearly a year. While the rebound is modest, it suggests capital may be gradually returning to decentralized finance protocols.

    Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Enters Consolidation After Hitting New High

    Nvidia stock price is consolidating after rallying from $190.02 to an intraday high of $223.63, with profit-taking pushing shares back to around $218.80. Despite the pullback, there has been no major negative company news, and analysts view the move as a normal pause following a strong rally driven by AI demand. The company’s growth continues to be supported by robust demand for Blackwell AI chips, expanding AI infrastructure spending by major cloud providers, and expectations for its next-generation Rubin platform. Analysts are closely watching support levels at $210.65, $206.67, and $202.69, with a hold above these areas likely to keep the broader uptrend intact ahead of Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report.

    XRP Price Live Today: Why Is XRP Dropping Below $1.03?

    XRP is down nearly 3% over the past 24 hours, falling to around $1.02 after slipping below the important $1.03 support level. The decline has prompted additional selling as traders react to the technical breakdown. At the same time, uncertainty over the delayed U.S. Clarity Act and weaker institutional interest have continued to weigh on sentiment. Broader weakness in the altcoin market has also added pressure. If XRP remains below $1.03, the next key support is around $0.96. A recovery above $1.03 could help stabilize the price and reduce near-term selling pressure.

    Why Is Bitcoin Dropping Today?

    Bitcoin is down about 1% over the past 24 hours as investors remain cautious ahead of key economic and regulatory developments. Concerns over inflation, interest rates, and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Clarity Act have reduced risk appetite across financial markets, with cryptocurrencies moving lower alongside stocks. Bitcoin has also struggled to attract fresh buying after recent gains, leaving prices stuck in a narrow range. In the short term, $63,000 remains an important support level. If Bitcoin holds above it, the price could recover toward $65,000–$66,800. A break below $63,000 could open the door to a move toward $62,200.

    Base Attacker Loses Funds to MEV Bot After $500,000 Wallet Drain

    A wallet controlled by an attacker drained approximately 500,000 USDC from a victim address on the Base network, according to PeckShield. However, the attacker’s subsequent token swap lacked sufficient slippage protection and was sandwiched by an MEV bot, significantly reducing the proceeds. As a result, the attacker reportedly received only about 67 WETH, worth roughly $129,000, instead of the full value of the stolen funds.

    XRP continues to attract attention as Ripple expands its institutional blockchain strategy through new partnerships, tokenization initiatives, and capital markets infrastructure. Recent developments include broader interoperability for the XRP Ledger, growing tokenized asset activity, and continued institutional participation through XRP investment products. Analysts also point to increasing adoption by financial institutions exploring blockchain-based payments and tokenized deposits. At the same time, market observers note that progress on U.S. crypto legislation, particularly the CLARITY Act, could further shape institutional adoption. Together, these developments have strengthened the long-term narrative around XRP as enterprise blockchain adoption continues to expand.
