Michael Saylor's Strategy is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on Earth, with 840,000 BTC. A new analysis argues the danger investors should actually worry about isn't Bitcoin falling, it's the company's access to capital markets drying up. Here's how the machine works, and where it could break.
The Fear & Greed Index rocketed from "extreme fear" to "greed" in under two weeks as Bitcoin neared $80,000. The last time it was this high, the market crashed five days later in a record $19 billion wipeout. But one key difference this time is worth understanding before you assume history repeats.
Crypto markets staged their biggest rally in two years in late August, with Bitcoin pushing toward $80,000 and spot ETFs pulling in $2.6 billion, their strongest week in nearly a year. A rare convergence of institutional buying, a supportive Treasury buyback program, and fresh momentum out of Washington, including an SEC capital-raising framework and Trump's push for the Clarity Act, powered the surge.
After Bitcoin stole the spotlight, Ethereum is having its own breakout, and this one looks different. Four straight days of ETF inflows, led by BlackRock, suggest the ETH move is driven by real institutional buying, not just the short squeeze that powered Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has exploded past $77,000, up more than 22% on the week, reclaiming its 200-day moving average for the first time in months and now testing the ceiling that's capped it all year. But the same rally was fueled by billions in short liquidations, and the pros are sharply divided on what comes next.
In a single day, the President name-dropped a crypto exchange from the White House, the SEC's new fundraising rules landed, and Bitcoin ripped past $69K. Here's what's actually confirmed about the US pivot to crypto, and what's being exaggerated.
BTC cleared $69K for the first time in two months and Ethereum reclaimed $2,000 Wednesday, as a wave of fresh liquidity and regulatory optimism triggered nearly $2 billion in short liquidations. Here's what's actually driving the surge.
Aave's next-generation lending engine just cleared $400 million in deposits and is closing in on $150 million in active loans, both all-time highs, as founder Stani Kulechov lays out a roadmap aimed at pulling institutional money on-chain.
Goldman Sachs just paid up to $2.25 billion to get its hands on BTCI, a Bitcoin fund advertising a jaw-dropping 27% yield. But that same fund fell 43% over the past year. Before you chase a number that big, here's exactly how these "high-income" crypto ETFs actually work, and where the yield really comes from.
A public on-chain analysis claims that of 292,531 wallets that traded through the FOMO app in the last 90 days, just 18,033 came out ahead, leaving memecoin buyers collectively down more than a billion dollars. The kicker: a gambling site had six times better odds.
