BUILDon loses 15% as Futures activity cools down — Another decline incoming?

BUILDon's price fell 15% to around $0.2068 as trading volume dropped 35% and market capitalization declined to $206.87 million. Despite the sell-off, buyers defended the key $0.20 support level. Futures market activity cooled significantly, with Open Interest dropping 17.75% to $35.94 million, indicating traders reduced leveraged positions rather than opening new speculative bets. The OI-Weighted Funding Rate remained positive but declined, showing weakening bullish conviction. The RSI held above neutral at 53.39, suggesting buyers retain a slight edge. For a rebound, participation needs to improve. If $0.20 support holds, price could retest $0.2534 resistance; a break below may target $0.10.

Bitcoin short-term holder losses narrow to 4%: Structure builds for BTC’s rebound

Bitcoin's short-term holder losses have narrowed sharply to around -4.0% from -20.48% in early June, bringing the cohort close to its average cost basis of $68,800. This proximity may incentivize holding, reducing recent supply from entering the market. The asset's structure shows bullish signs, including a sustained golden cross and rising accumulation volume. However, momentum faces headwinds as spot and perpetual market netflows remain negative. Bitcoin currently trades in an undervalued zone, and a shift to positive netflows could support a potential rally, similar to a pattern observed before its 2025 surge.

Gate Research Institute: The 'Wall Street-ization' Wave of Crypto Financial Products – Competition or Integration?

The article titled "Gate Research Institute: Are Crypto Financial Products Sparking a 'Wall Street' Wave—Competition or Convergence?" explores the evolving relationship between the crypto ecosystem and traditional finance (TradFi). The piece begins by reflecting on Bitcoin's original 2009 vision of decentralization, disintermediation, and moving away from banks. It then contrasts this with the 2024 landscape, where key crypto assets like Bitcoin are increasingly held through Wall Street products like ETFs issued by giants like BlackRock. The article questions whether this signifies that TradFi is systematically taking over the rights to issue, price, custody, and distribute crypto financial assets. The core argument is that this is not a zero-sum takeover but rather a bidirectional convergence where each side addresses the other's weaknesses. Crypto offers 24/7 global markets, programmable settlement, and open access but lacks compliant channels, institutional-grade custody, deep fiat liquidity, and mainstream distribution. TradFi possesses these but is constrained by legacy systems, limited operating hours, and slow settlement. Two primary convergence paths are highlighted: * **Path A (CEX to TradFi):** Exemplified by Gate, which has progressed from offering tokenized stocks and CFDs to providing direct, real stock trading (US, Hong Kong, South Korea) within its platform, using USDT. * **Path B (TradFi to Crypto):** Exemplified by Robinhood, which has integrated crypto trading, acquired exchanges like Bitstamp, and is moving traditional assets like stocks onto the blockchain via tokenization and its own Layer 2. Both paths are ultimately competing to become the next-generation, unified financial account—a "super account" where users can seamlessly trade cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, RWA (Real World Assets), and tokenized treasury products in one interface. The growth of RWA and tokenized treasuries (e.g., BlackRock's BUIDL) is presented as the asset-layer fusion, providing stable, yield-bearing assets on-chain and acting as a bridge between the two worlds. In conclusion, the "Wall Street-ization" of crypto is framed as a mutual transformation. Decentralized ideals persist in the protocol layer, while at the application layer, a more efficient, global, and accessible unified capital market is emerging from this convergence. The future competition lies not between crypto exchanges and stockbrokers, but between platforms vying to offer the most comprehensive asset coverage, liquidity, and user experience within a single account.

XRP holders turn profitable, but Spot demand is gone: Can $1.10 hold?

XRP's market is sending mixed signals, with price consolidating between $1.086 and $1.113 despite a steep decline in Spot trading activity. The main driver has shifted to the derivatives market, where Open Interest and leverage have increased. This means price discovery is now dominated by leveraged traders, not fresh capital inflows, making XRP vulnerable to a sharp correction if sentiment shifts. Short-term holders have recently moved back into profit, aligning with broader recovery in large-cap cryptocurrencies. However, this shift increases the incentive for profit-taking. With Spot demand nearly absent, the sustainability of the current price action is in doubt. The $1.10 support level is at risk due to growing profit-taking pressure and a lack of new demand to validate the leveraged positions.

‘1:1 backed equities scale much better,’ Base claims amid Robinhood rivalry

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak acknowledged that Robinhood Chain has an early lead in offering tokenized equities on an EVM-compatible chain, an area where Base has lagged. However, Pollak downplayed the competitive threat, claiming Base's upcoming 1:1 backed tokenized equities (versus Robinhood's derivatives) will offer superior scalability, trust, and capital efficiency. Despite being only weeks old, Robinhood Chain has rapidly gained traction, now rivaling Base in key metrics like weekly active users (~1 million each), DEX volume, and revenue. Analysts note Robinhood's massive existing user base of 27 million funded accounts gives it a significant distribution advantage as retail trading moves on-chain.

BitMine adds 7,430 ETH, spends $86M on share buybacks – Why?

BitMine significantly slowed its Ethereum accumulation last week, purchasing only 7,430 ETH—its smallest weekly buy since May. The company instead prioritized shareholder returns, spending approximately $86 million to repurchase 5.5 million common shares. BitMine's ETH treasury remains substantial at 5.78 million ETH (4.8% of circulating supply), nearing its long-term goal of 5%. The company has already staked 85% of its holdings and projects up to $290 million in annual staking revenue. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy continues its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy despite recent sales.

Bank of America Quietly Positions: Could $6 Trillion in Bank Deposits Flow into Stablecoins?

Bank of America has quietly made leadership appointments to accelerate its digital asset strategy, sparking discussion about a potential large-scale migration of bank deposits to stablecoins. Reports highlighted the bank naming Sonali Theisen, Kevin Milsom, and Adam Dixon to lead its global digital asset and AI platform, focusing on stablecoins, tokenized deposits, custody, and crypto settlement. This move revived a claim that $6 trillion in bank deposits could flow into stablecoins, a figure originally cited by Bank of America's CEO Brian Moynihan in January. However, he conditioned this shift on stablecoins being allowed to pay interest—a feature not permitted under the current GENIUS Act. The legislation's final rules are delayed, pushing its effective date to January 2027. Major banks are not waiting. JPMorgan and Citigroup are already piloting tokenized deposit services, and a consortium including Bank of America is building a shared tokenized deposit network targeting a 2027 launch. While some, like Pacemakers.io's Alessandro Hatami, remain skeptical of rapid bank collaboration, data shows significant institutional adoption. Stablecoin settlement volume hit $33 trillion in 2025, and analysts project the market could surpass $1 trillion by 2026. Despite a recent dip in crypto prices and stablecoin supply, the institutional push for real-world use cases continues. The race is on for January 2027, when the GENIUS Act takes effect, potentially reshaping the competition between traditional finance and digital assets.

Allbridge Suspends Core Protocol After $1.65M Solana Flash Loan Exploit

Cross-chain protocol AllBridge Core suspended operations after suffering a $1.65 million flash loan exploit on its Solana deployment. The attacker manipulated a stablecoin pool's exchange rate using a $1.12 million USDC loan from Kamino, creating a price imbalance to perform a profitable arbitrage. Stolen funds were moved to Ethereum via privacy pools. This is the protocol's second such attack, following a $573,000 exploit in April 2023. The suspension causes operational delays, reduces cross-chain liquidity, and highlights persistent security vulnerabilities in bridge protocols and automated market maker systems.

After six years of pie-in-the-sky fundraising, 90% of funds used to replenish cash flow: The illusion and reality of L'CI Technology's silicon carbide "industrialization"｜TMTPost Deep Dive

After six years and raising approximately 3.2 billion yuan through two private placements, Luxshare Technology has officially terminated its two major SiC wafer projects. Only about 7.75% of the raised funds were actually invested in SiC construction and R&D, with the remaining 90% redirected to replenish working capital and repay loans. Despite previous ambitious plans for a 10-billion-yuan SiC industrial park and public assurances of progress, the company's actual SiC capacity remains unclear, with its subsidiary recording significant losses. The article details a pattern of chasing market trends, from electric vehicles and photovoltaics to the current focus on SiC. However, its SiC entry was late; while peers like Tianke Heda and Tianyue Advanced have moved from mass-producing 6-inch to 8-inch and even 12-inch wafers, Luxshare is still struggling with its 6-inch plans and now promises to develop larger sizes with its own funds. Key concerns include unclear disclosures about the status of its chief scientist, Chen Zhizhan, and significantly lower R&D investment compared to competitors. Financially, since its 2011 IPO, the company has raised over 7 billion yuan but generated only 221 million yuan in cumulative net profit. Meanwhile, the controlling shareholder family has cashed out nearly 2 billion yuan since 2018. The article positions Luxshare as a case study of a listed company focused more on financing and capital operation around hot topics than on substantive industrial development.

Is the Fastest and Deepest Tech Stock Sell-off in History Nearing Its End?

The article discusses whether the historically rapid and severe sell-off in tech momentum stocks is nearing its end. Citing analysis from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, it notes that the TMT momentum factor has plunged 40% from its peak in just 17 trading days, marking the fastest and deepest such decline on record. Key experts, including Goldman's Mark Wilson, attribute the crash primarily to extreme crowding, high leverage, and structural factors rather than a fundamental deterioration in the economy or corporate earnings. They point to strong underlying data, such as robust bank lending and raised guidance from companies like TSMC, which contrast sharply with the market's price action. While Wilson suggests the momentum unwinding process is likely "approaching its end," he cautions that immediate catalysts for a sharp reversal are lacking. The report highlights extreme internal market stress, with single-stock volatility far exceeding index volatility, and warns that despite the sell-off, positioning in momentum factors remains elevated. It concludes that the core market矛盾 (contradiction) lies in this disconnect between solid fundamentals and violent price corrections driven by positioning and leverage.
