Experts Named Reasons for Bitcoin's Decline After US Inflation Drop

Despite favorable U.S. inflation data in July, Bitcoin failed to rally and instead declined. Analysts from CryptoQuant identify weak spot market demand as the primary cause. After the data release, Bitcoin briefly dropped from around $64,500 to $63,000. While the Producer Price Index (PPI) was better than expected, and U.S. stock indices rose, Bitcoin remained stuck in a range. Key indicators point to subdued demand: capital inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs remain low, and the Coinbase Premium Index has been negative since May, indicating limited buying pressure from American investors. In contrast, positioning in the futures market remains relatively high, creating an imbalance of weak spot demand, low liquidity, and significant leveraged positions. Analysts warn that under these conditions, even positive macroeconomic news may not spur growth. If the price doesn't react to a favorable backdrop, traders might start closing margin longs, adding further downward pressure. A key resistance level is identified at $68,700, the approximate cost basis for short-term holders, which could trigger selling. For a sustained rally to resume, CryptoQuant states the market needs: renewed capital inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, the Coinbase Premium Index turning positive, an increase in spot trading volumes, and a decisive break above $68,700.

Bitcoin Price Drops to $62,470 as Sellers Retest $63,000 Support Level

Bitcoin's price fell below $63,000 for a second consecutive day on Friday, hitting an intraday low of $62,470. The cryptocurrency later recovered to trade just above $63,000, leaving it nearly flat for the past 24 hours and for August overall, with a weekly loss of 2.6%. The volatility triggered significant liquidations, with $26 million of leveraged long Bitcoin positions liquidated over 24 hours. Market sentiment was further dampened by data showing over $131 million in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs for a second straight day, signaling a potential pullback by institutional investors. Adding to the negative pressure, index provider MSCI has proposed new criteria for "non-operating companies" in its global indexes, which could lead to the exclusion of firms holding significant digital assets like Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Companies such as Strategy and Metaplanet could be affected, potentially forcing index-tracking funds to sell their shares. Strategy publicly criticized the proposal, arguing digital assets are legitimate assets and index providers should not dictate what companies can own. Public consultations on MSCI's proposal end September 30, with a final decision expected by October 16. If approved, exclusions could begin in November, potentially triggering sustained institutional selling and damaging a key bridge for Bitcoin adoption in the corporate sector.

Secretly Mined 1 BTC on Work Computers: Crypto Firm Employee Faces Prison

Christopher Rankin, a 40-year-old from Washington state, pleaded guilty to unauthorized access to computers at a bitcoin mining company and theft of cryptocurrency. While employed at the New York-based company starting in July 2021, Rankin gained unauthorized access to approximately 100 company computers. He manually rebooted them and redirected their mining power to a fraudulent mining pool he controlled, causing the mined bitcoin (1.0668 BTC, worth approximately $53,315 at the time) to be sent to wallets under his control. Additionally, he set the computers to a high-performance mode, which prosecutors stated caused physical damage, significantly reducing their lifespan, and compromised the integrity and availability of data stored on them. Rankin was found guilty of transmitting a program, information, code, or command to a protected computer, causing damage. The maximum penalty for this offense is up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. His sentencing is scheduled for November 17, 2026, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Roemer.

Trump Crypto Project Delays Launch of Maldives-Linked Token

The cryptocurrency project backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), has postponed plans to launch a token linked to the construction of a luxury resort in the Maldives, according to Bloomberg sources. The token sale, initially slated for 2027, is now delayed reportedly due to disrupted transportation in the region from the U.S. war with Iran. The project involved tokenizing investor income from the Trump International Hotel & Resort, a planned 100-villa complex set to open in 2030. The token was designed to offer returns from the resort's revenues. The delay's timing is unclear. World Liberty Financial is also exploring tokenization in other sectors like oil and gas. Its native token, $WLFI, showed little price movement on the news, trading around $0.05, down 88% from its all-time high in September 2025. Trump and his sons have launched several crypto ventures, including meme coins and mining. Trump reported earning about $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025. However, their public projects, like mining firm American Bitcoin and Trump Media and Technology Group, reported significant losses in Q2 2026.

Number of Active XRP Addresses Surges by 84%, Price Remains 72% Below All-Time High

The XRP ecosystem is showing a divergence between network activity and price dynamics. According to analyst Ali Martinez, the number of active XRP addresses has surged by 84.18%, rising from 23,642 on August 1 to 43,543. Concurrently, XRP is trading approximately 71.7% below its July 2025 all-time high of $3.66. Key elements shaping the market include heightened network activity, accumulation by large holders—who added over 380 million XRP last week—and shifting derivatives positioning, with the $1-$1.06 range becoming a focal point. Despite this increased activity, technical indicators remain weak. The 14-day RSI is at 35.97, below its moving average and the neutral 50 level. The MACD indicator is also negative, confirming bearish momentum has not yet reversed. The $1 level is identified as critical: holding above it could allow XRP to test the $1.06 resistance, while a break below could trigger liquidations and push the price toward $0.98 or $0.93. Funding rates have stayed predominantly positive since late June, indicating a persistent long bias in perpetual futures markets, even as the price declined from above $1.20 in mid-June to $0.90 by August 12.
