Ethena Price Forecast: Will ENA Fee Switch Vote Lead to a September High?

Ethena (ENA) price has surged over 100% in a week, breaking above the $0.14-$0.18 resistance zone that had capped it since April. The rally is attributed to structural changes, not just market sentiment. The Ethena Foundation announced it has bought out tokens from early investors who sold recently and will cancel future monthly venture capital unlocks, addressing major selling pressure. A key governance vote is underway for a "fee switch" mechanism that would direct 95% of protocol revenue to ENA buybacks once the USDe stablecoin supply reaches $7.5B, linking ENA's value directly to USDe's growth. The price is consolidating above its 200-day EMA. For September, bullish targets aim for $0.24 if support holds and the vote passes, while failure to hold the $0.14-$0.18 zone could see a pullback to the 200-day EMA near $0.1315.

Crypto funds attract $1.65 billion in three days amid Bitcoin rally

Global cryptocurrency investment products attracted $1.65 billion in inflows over three days, with nearly $1 billion flowing into Bitcoin, signaling a recovery in institutional demand, according to CoinShares. An additional $478 million went to Ethereum. This marks the second consecutive week of inflows, following a record $2.94 billion the prior week—the highest weekly figure this year. Analysts link the increased demand to uncertainty around U.S. Federal Reserve policy, as investors seek alternative assets amid mixed economic signals. The inflows coincided with Bitcoin's rebound above $78,500, briefly surpassing $81,000 and reclaiming its 200-day moving average for the first time in 270 trading days—a key long-term market indicator. The U.S. dominated demand, accounting for approximately $1.5 billion of the total inflows, with notable contributions from Germany and Switzerland. Total assets under management in crypto investment products now stand around $155 billion, with year-to-date flows turning positive at roughly $3.4 billion. Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, investors also allocated funds to altcoins: XRP products saw $80.5 million, Solana $62.9 million, and Hyperliquid $39 million. Analysts note that ETF inflows and declining U.S. Treasury yields are fueling Bitcoin demand following its recent price appreciation.

Solana Begins Phased 90% Reduction in Token Account Storage Costs

The main development team of Solana, Anza, has launched the first of five planned functions that will ultimately reduce the cost of storing data on the blockchain by 90%. This initiative, driven by proposal SIMD-0437, will significantly lower the capital expenses for developers and projects that create a large number of token accounts, particularly benefiting fintech and payment companies using the network. The reduction in storage costs is achieved by lowering the `lamports_per_byte` constant, which sets the minimum account balance, from 6,960 to 696. This change will be implemented in five independent, risk-assessed phases to prevent a sudden surge in blockchain state data. Currently, the deposit for a standard SPL token account is $0.159, which will fall to $0.0159 upon full implementation. For a company creating one million accounts, the required capital drops from $159,000 to $15,900. This deposit is a fully refundable security, not a transaction fee. The move supports Solana's goal of becoming a leading payment network by reducing a major barrier to mass account creation. The rollout is part of the Agave 4.2 validator release, with the first mainnet activation beginning in mid-August 2026. A sixth contingency feature can revert the constant to its original value if issues arise.

Polish Olympic chief charged in Zondacrypto probe, justice minister says

Polish Olympic Committee President Radosław Piesiewicz has been charged and detained as part of an investigation into the defunct cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto. Justice Minister and Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek announced the charges, which include alleged influence peddling and preferential treatment of certain creditors during insolvency. Reports suggest Piesiewicz managed to recover his own investments through Zondacrypto while thousands of other customers could not access their funds. The exchange, which became a sponsor of the Polish Olympic Committee in October 2025, halted trading in April amid a liquidity crisis. Its former CEO, Przemysław Kral, who claimed the exchange lost access to a wallet containing about 4,500 Bitcoin, has also been charged with large-scale fraud and is cooperating with authorities.

BTC Price Forecast: BTC Bulls Regain Control as Brandt Supports Breakout Above $81K

Bitcoin is consolidating near the $80,000 level as bulls defend key technical levels and leverage returns to the market. After a strong rally, BTC faces significant resistance around $81,255. A decisive close above this level could confirm renewed upward momentum and open a path toward $83,000 and possibly $85,000. Trader Peter Brandt has shifted his technical view, now holding a long Bitcoin position following the completion of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. The four-hour chart shows a solid bullish structure, with Bitcoin trading above its key Exponential Moving Averages (20, 50, 100, 200-period). Immediate support is seen at the 20 EMA near $79,084, followed by $77,283 and $76,515. Market data shows a recovery in Bitcoin's open interest, rising to $56.48 billion, indicating traders are re-establishing leveraged positions alongside the price recovery. However, this also increases liquidation risks during sharp reversals. Spot flows have been inconsistent, with a recent moderate net inflow of $17.73 million on August 28, but lacking signs of aggressive accumulation. The September outlook hinges on whether buyers can defend the $79,084 support while gathering enough momentum to break the $81,255 resistance. The bullish EMA structure favors buyers, but a confirmed breakout above $81,255 is seen as critical for the next major leg up. Failure to hold $79,084 could trigger pullbacks toward $77,283 and $76,515.
