Introduzione

Celsius Network price rebounded on Friday after the latest news on the company’s bankruptcy proceedings.

Celsius Network price rebounded on Friday after the latest news on the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The CEL token price jumped to a high of $1.6835, which was the highest level since August 24. It has jumped by more than 100% from its lowest level in August.

Why is CEL rallying?

CEL is the native token for the Celsius Network, the Nexo competitor that filed for voluntary bankruptcy in June of this year. At its peak, the company had billions of dollars in client deposits and it was one of the biggest success stories in the crypto industry.

In May, the company announced that it would suspend deposits and withdrawals as the prices of most tokens collapsed. The CEL token rose sharply on Friday after the company asked the judge overseeing the case for permission to release $50 million to customers.

These funds are stuck in the company’s custody accounts, which are designed to store digital assets. In a statement, the judge said that the matter will be heard on October 6 of this year. Still, these funds are a small percentage of over $200 million that are stuck at the company’s custody accounts.

At the same time, the company still owes customers over $4.2 billion of assets in the company’s earn accounts. Therefore, the future of the company is still in question even though some companies are attempting to buy it.

Celsius Network price rose because of this news. For a thinly traded assets like CEL, any good news usually attracts attention of day traders. This explains why the price of the token went parabolic. It also explains why the VGX price rose. VGX is the native token for Voyager Digital, a company that also filed for bankruptcy.

Celsius Network price forecast

The four-hour chart shows that the CEL price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. It rose to a high of $1.5810, which was the highest point on June 21. As it rose, it moved slightly above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing its overbought level.

Therefore, Celsius Network price will likely resume the bearish trend as the hype surrounding the $50 million return eases. If this happens, the coin will likely retest the important support at $1.06.

Are Altcoins Soaring? Is the Bull Market Back?

Recent days have seen significant volatility in altcoins while Bitcoin remained relatively stable. Some low-market-cap tokens, with circulations under $20 million, surged by several hundred percent within days—without fundamental improvements, ecosystem breakthroughs, or new institutional inflows. This is not a true altseason. The Altseason Index stands at 34, and Bitcoin dominance is at 58.5%, indicating the market is still in a "Bitcoin season." The altcoin market cap has shrunk by ~40% since its peak in December 2024, falling to around $700 billion. This severe decline has made it cheaper for large holders to accumulate significant portions of circulating supply, enabling price manipulation. A case in point is SIREN, where a single entity allegedly controlled up to 88% of the circulating supply. Such concentration allows a small group to dictate price movements. Additionally, deeply negative funding rates (as low as -0.3% every 8 hours, annualized to -328%) force short sellers to pay high fees, accelerating liquidations and further fueling upward price spikes. On-chain activity, like a 97% weekly increase in BSC DEX volume, suggests excitement, but it is largely driven by existing capital, not new inflows. Institutional flows into altcoin ETFs (like those for Solana and XRP) have been weak or negative, indicating caution rather than rotation into altcoins. This rally is a signal of structural fragility, not broad bullish momentum. Until Bitcoin dominance falls significantly and new capital enters the altcoin space, these pumps are echoes of manipulation—not the return of a true bull market.

Rhythm X Zhihu Event Agenda Released: Skills Demo + Keynote Speech + Roundtable to Thoroughly Explain Agents and On-Chain Finance

The recent dispute between EvoMap and Hermes over alleged抄袭, similar to the Claude and OpenClaw case, highlights a growing trend in the Agent ecosystem. These conflicts arise from competition over user choice—specifically, which Agent users select for similar tasks—and the definition of original core competencies. Such public disagreements indicate that competition among Agents has intensified to the point where founders are losing their composure. Ultimately, users hold the decision-making power. This issue foreshadows a broader challenge: as Agents become more numerous and capable, how should individuals navigate this evolving landscape? This topic will be explored in-depth at the upcoming event.

Fortune Exclusive: a16z Crypto Fund AUM Plummets 40%, Multicoin Halved, Top Crypto VCs Shrink Collectively

According to exclusive SEC filings obtained by Fortune, leading crypto venture capital firms, including a16z crypto, Multicoin Capital, Pantera Capital, and Paradigm, experienced significant declines in their assets under management (AUM) in 2025. a16z crypto's AUM dropped nearly 40% to $9.5 billion, partly due to strategic distributions to LPs at market highs, with its first fund achieving a 5.4x DPI. Multicoin’s AUM was halved to approximately $2.7 billion, impacted by market volatility and crypto price corrections. Pantera also saw AUM shrink, though this was partly attributed to successful exits, including five portfolio company IPOs. In contrast, Haun Ventures grew its AUM by over 30% to nearly $2.5 billion, driven by a successful exit in the stablecoin sector and new fundraising. Despite the downturn, several firms are raising new funds, with a16z targeting up to $2 billion and Paradigm seeking up to $1.5 billion, indicating continued long-term confidence in the crypto market's cyclical nature.

DWF In-Depth Report: AI Outperforms Humans in DeFi Yield Optimization, but Lags 5x Behind in Complex Trading

DWF Ventures' report highlights the growing role of AI agents in DeFi, accounting for nearly 19% of on-chain activity. While agents excel in rule-based tasks like yield optimization—achieving returns of over 9.75% for assets like USDC—they significantly underperform humans in complex trading. In head-to-head competitions, top human traders outperformed the best AI agents by more than 5x. Key factors affecting agent performance include model selection, risk management, position holding time, and leverage levels. The path to full autonomy remains challenging due to infrastructure limitations, trust issues, and risks like Sybil attacks and strategy crowding. As agent adoption grows, robust infrastructure and transparency will be critical for scalability and trust.
