    Why is Crypto Market Going Down Today?

    Crypto markets are pulling back today, with the total market cap falling to $2.68 trillion, down 1.0% over the past 24 hours on trading volume of $62.13 billion. Bitcoin dropped to $77,664.88, down 0.8%, while Ethereum slipped to $2,417.73, down 2.0%. XRP fell to $1.35, down 3.4%. The pullback comes amid broader risk-off sentiment across markets, with renewed geopolitical tension in the Middle East weighing on investor appetite for higher-risk assets. Crypto has historically tracked this pattern closely, pulling back alongside equities and other risk assets whenever regional conflict headlines resurface, as traders rotate toward safer holdings until the picture becomes clearer.

    Ethereum Price Today – 29th August

    Ethereum has pulled back to around $2,400 after rising from about $1,900 to $2,550 and moving sideways near the highs. The $2,400-$2,420 zone is now the key support area. Holding it could push ETH toward $2,480-$2,500, followed by a test of $2,535-$2,555. A break above those highs could open the way to $2,600-$2,650, $2,750 and potentially $3,000. If $2,400 breaks, $2,350 becomes the next level to watch.

    Why Bitcoin Price USD is Down Today?

    Bitcoin fell 1.91% to $77,656.37 in 24 hours after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech raised concerns about prolonged high interest rates. The decline was amplified by $141.57 million in Bitcoin liquidations, including $120.07 million in long positions. Bitcoin now faces support at $75,000-$76,000. Holding this range could support consolidation, while a break below $75,000 could expose $70,000. Investors will watch upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data for the next policy signal.

    XRP Rich List Update August 28th

    The XRP rich list data shows rising balances among the largest XRP addresses. An address needs about 2,126 XRP to rank in the top 10% of wallets. The thresholds are 7,462 XRP for the top 5%, 10,020 XRP for the top 4%, 14,003 XRP for the top 3%, and 21,765 XRP for the top 2%. For higher rankings, holders need 80,000 XRP for the top 0.5%, 158,000 XRP for the top 0.2%, and 276,000 XRP for the top 0.1%. The top 0.01% requires about 3.577 million XRP, with roughly 810 wallets holding that amount. The thresholds have increased in recent weeks, indicating that large XRP addresses are accumulating. If the trend continues, the amount needed to enter the top wallet groups could rise further.

    Ethena’s USDe Tops $320 Million on Robinhood Chain

    Ethena’s USDe has surpassed $320 million on Robinhood Chain within eight weeks of launch, accounting for 42% of the chain’s stablecoin supply, according to Token Terminal data. USDe is now the network’s largest external dollar asset, behind Robinhood Chain’s own USDG. The growth was supported by Ethena’s role as the primary collateral issuer for Robinhood Earn. About 62%-65% of liquidity from the Steakhouse USDG Vault flowed into the USDe/USDG Morpho market.

    Jake Claver Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $100 This Year

    Crypto commentator Jake Claver said he “strongly agrees” that XRP will hit $100 this year, a bold prediction that stands far above the token’s current price near $1.43. The claim came during a panel discussion comparing XRP to the Canton Network’s token (CC), where Claver was originally asked whether XRP could reach $100 within five years, by 2035, but said he expects it this year instead. He based his broader bullish stance on total addressable market, arguing XRP’s exposure to global payments and derivatives markets gives it a larger opportunity than Canton, even if it only captures a portion of that space. Not everyone agreed.

    Why TRUMP Coin Price Is Up Today?

    Official Trump (TRUMP) rose 21.64% to $2.72 in 24 hours, far exceeding the broader crypto market’s 1.1% gain. Open interest climbed 57% to $188.72 million over the past week, pointing to increased leveraged trading. The wider memecoin market also gained 31% in August, supporting TRUMP’s rally. The token could retest $3.60 if it holds above $2.50. A break below $2.50 could signal weakening momentum.

    California Meme Coin Bill Clears Legislature

    California’s AB 2409, a bill restricting public officials’ involvement in meme coins, has passed both the state Assembly and Senate and now awaits Governor’s approval.

    The legislation would prohibit public officers and employees from issuing meme coins and would bar listing meme coins for purchase by California residents starting January 1, 2027, unless offered by a federal or state official as specified. The bill would also authorize the Attorney General, district attorneys, city attorneys, or county counsel to enforce these prohibitions through civil action.

    The bill now heads to the Governor’s desk for signature.

    Top Analyst Says Solana Is ‘The Best Chart in Crypto Right Now’

    Crypto Banter analyst Ran has called Solana the strongest chart in the crypto market, backing the call with a leveraged position of his own. He said he opened a 10x leveraged long on SOL, buying 500 tokens at an entry price of $105. Ran pointed to a technical breakout above a long-standing support and resistance zone as the basis for his bullish call, identifying $140 and $150 as the next levels to watch. He also said Solana has been the best-performing major cryptocurrency since the breakout, outperforming Ethereum and other large-cap tokens over the same period.

    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 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.
