Dogecoin is making some noise now.
""

When the Ethereum Merge finally concluded on September 15th, investors didn’t see the massive market shift they were anticipating.
""

However, one significant outcome of this event was that meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin has now become the second-largest Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus-based network, trailing only the Bitcoin network in terms of market value.
""

According to ETHPoW’s official Twitter account, Dogecoin is likely to compete with ETHPoW, which is the Ethereum PoW hard fork chain that is expected to keep mining.
""

Bitcoin is still the most valuable PoW blockchain with a market capitalization of $380 billion, based on data by TradingView. Next to Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Monero have the third, fourth, and fifth largest PoW blockchains, respectively.

Bagging 10th Place In Top Crypto List
""

Dogecoin was launched in 2013 and has since risen to the top 10 cryptocurrency rankings. The crypto is currently trading at $0.060888, a decrease of 4.8% over the last seven days.
""

The joke coin is now ranked 10th on Coingecko’s list of the leading cryptocurrencies. In the previous 24 hours, BTC was trading at $19,709, down 2.5%, while ETH was trading at $1,474, falling 9.7%.
""

As with Bitcoin, DOGE is mined using proof of work, which requires miners to use powerful computers and a significant amount of energy to solve complex mathematical problems in order to validate transactions and earn DOGE.
""

Regulatory authorities have recently upped their monitoring of network validators as many nations advocate for a total ban on crypto mining activities since they place a significant strain on national grids.
""

Dogecoin PoS Transition In The Drawing Boards
""

Approximately 14.4 million DOGE are mined daily, according to the cryptocurrency tracking platform Currency.com, adding to the coin’s supply of 132.6 billion. In contrast to Bitcoin, which has a restricted supply of 21 million, Dogecoin has no supply limit.
""

Meanwhile, the Dogecoin Foundation has been contemplating a transition of Dogecoin to a proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who is also an advisor to the foundation, suggested the change in September of last year.
""

In recent years, the dog-inspired crypto has gained an odd champion in the world’s richest person, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who has tweeted about the coin as far back as 2019 and on multiple times caused the price of Dogecoin to surge.

Ethereum Bears Keep Control As ETH Rejects Trendline Resistance

Ethereum's (ETH) recent price rebound is still viewed as unconvincing by some analysts, with technical analysis indicating continued bearish control. ETH has failed to break above a key falling trendline and a horizontal resistance zone, forming a pattern of lower highs and lower lows. This rejection at a confluence of resistances strengthens the bearish case. The critical support zone to watch is between $1,350 and $1,500. A breakdown below this area would signal significant weakness. Currently, ETH is trapped between this support and the dominant falling resistance, keeping the market in a compressed technical state. Ethereum's struggle is also significant for the broader altcoin market, as it often sets the tone for risk appetite. The analysis concludes that bulls require a decisive break above the identified resistance before any talk of a sustained reversal is warranted.

TechFlow Intelligence Bureau: Anthropic IPO Odds Exceed 80%, Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Again, Triggering Oil Price Volatility

**Market Digest** **AI & Tech:** Anthropic is widely expected to announce an IPO before November 2026, raising questions about balancing its trillion-dollar valuation ambitions with its core "AI safety" mission. Brands are increasingly adopting AI-generated virtual influencers for marketing. Cloudflare introduced temporary accounts for AI agents to ease automation workflows. **Infrastructure & Hardware:** Google's IPv6 traffic surpassed 50%, marking a major internet milestone. Goldman Sachs warned that massive projected AI capital expenditure ($5.3T) is approaching credit saturation limits, potentially curbing the "AI arms race." **Space & Robotics:** SpaceX's IPO saw a historic $370M retail buying frenzy in three days. Hyundai Motor Group plans to acquire full ownership of Boston Dynamics. Elon Musk speculated about future "septillion-dollar" investments in antimatter for interstellar travel. **Energy & Geopolitics:** Iran's military announced another closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, accusing Israel of violating a ceasefire, causing oil market volatility. However, ship-tracking data indicated some traffic continued. Concurrently, Iran resumed crude loadings at Kharg Island, potentially releasing up to 20 million barrels to the market. **Finance & Macro:** A European CLO (collateralized loan obligation) experienced its first post-2008-crisis-era equity tranche default, raising alarms in credit markets. Nomura warned that new Federal Reserve Chair Wash's perceived hawkish debut speech could signal a significant policy shift. **The Undercurrent:** Seemingly disparate events—the Strait of Hormuz tension, the European CLO default, and warnings on AI spending—point to a tightening of global liquidity and rising marginal costs across energy, credit, and tech investment. Meanwhile, capital continues chasing grand narratives like space exploration and advanced AI, highlighting a divergence where old-world leverage frays as new-world stories grow more ambitious.

ETH/BTC Ratio Falls Back To Early-2023 Levels As Traders Debate Ethereum Value

The ETH/BTC ratio has fallen back to 0.027, a level last seen in early 2023, and is significantly below its 2021 peak near 0.088. This prompts a key market debate: Is Ethereum (ETH) now a historically cheap contrarian buy against Bitcoin (BTC), or is it in a structural decline? Analyst Woetoe highlighted this question. Simultaneously, ETH's USD chart (ETHUSDT) indicates bearish correction risk. Analysis from SwallowAcademy points to a broken market structure following an aggressive weekly open, with price rolling over below the $1,774 high and a potential pullback toward the $1,660-$1,723 zone. This creates a complex setup. While ETH appears undervalued relative to BTC, its standalone technicals remain weak. The report concludes that for ETH bulls, the immediate priority is not valuation arguments but reclaiming technical strength and beginning to outperform BTC again.

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Most Profitable MEV Bot Gets Hacked

A well-known and highly profitable Ethereum MEV Bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, suffered a sophisticated on-chain attack this Saturday, losing over $7.5 million. Analysis by Blockaid and others reveals this was not a conventional phishing or smart contract exploit, but a targeted "counter-MEV honeypot attack." The attacker meticulously laid a trap over several weeks, deploying 66 fake token contracts and liquidity pools disguised as major assets like WETH and USDC. These pools created the illusion of arbitrage opportunities. The MEV Bot's automated system detected these signals, executed trades, and in the process, granted approval permissions to attacker-controlled contracts. These approvals were not revoked, creating a persistent vulnerability. The attacker then exploited this in a single transaction, draining the bot's ETH, USDC, and USDT holdings. Jaredfromsubway.eth is notorious as one of Ethereum's most active and profitable MEV Bots, primarily known for executing "sandwich attacks" to profit from transaction slippage. Estimates suggest it has earned tens of millions in MEV revenue. The incident highlights escalating crypto security threats, demonstrating that even top-tier automated "predators" are vulnerable to novel, logic-based attacks designed to exploit their own operational rules. Following the hack, an unverified X account impersonating Jaredfromsubway.eth emerged, falsely offering a bounty for the return of funds, prompting developer warnings for users to stay vigilant.
