Attention: Major Investor Sells Off $33 Million Worth of Altcoin! Price Drops

Attention: A large investor sold $33 million worth of an altcoin, causing its price to drop. According to blockchain data, an Uniswap investor transferred a total of 9.295 million UNI tokens, worth approximately $33.46 million, to a Coinbase Prime hot wallet. This investor has previously taken profits during UNI price rallies. The transfer is linked to today's roughly 8% drop in UNI's price, though there is no confirmed information that it was for an immediate sale. The decline follows UNI's surge last November after Uniswap implemented a fee-switch mechanism. Separately, prominent crypto trader Machi Big Brother attracted attention with high-leverage Ethereum trades. Data shows Machi was liquidated on two overnight long ETH positions, losing about $2.5 million total. However, the investor subsequently re-entered the market, opening a new long ETH position worth approximately $4.6 million with about $180,000 in remaining margin, equating to roughly 25x effective leverage.

Russia Takes Historic Step Regarding Bitcoin and Two Altcoins: A New Era Begins!

Russia's Central Bank has proposed draft regulations allowing public trading of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT) on exchanges. The draft, open for comments until August 24, 2026, introduces an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles for non-qualified retail investors per brokerage firm. This measure aims to protect them from the crypto market's high volatility by restricting them to only the most liquid cryptocurrencies. Qualified investors will face no purchase limits on exchange-traded and OTC crypto assets. The selection criteria for approved cryptocurrencies include market capitalization, average daily trading volume, and a price history of at least five years on foreign exchanges. The proposal will operate under a new comprehensive crypto law signed by President Putin, effective September 1, 2026.

In Seoul, an opposition bill proposes a 22% cryptocurrency tax by 2030

In Seoul, an opposition lawmaker has proposed delaying the implementation of a 22% tax on cryptocurrency profits until January 1, 2030, a three-year postponement from the current planned start date of 2027. The bill, introduced by People Power Party representative Jeong Seong-guk, conflicts with the government's recently confirmed plan to begin taxing crypto gains in 2027. Under the proposed system, income from selling or lending cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether would be classified as "other income." The 22% rate consists of a 20% national income tax and a 2% local tax, applied only to annual profits exceeding a 2.5 million won (approx. $1,800) exemption threshold. The opposition argues that more time is needed to revise the virtual asset tax system, strengthen investor protection, and establish necessary frameworks for fair taxation. The proposal follows the government's completion of its 2026 tax reform package, with Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho reaffirming the plan to proceed as scheduled in 2027. Another bill from the same party seeks to entirely eliminate the crypto tax provision, citing inequality as profits from traditional stocks are currently tax-exempt. South Korea's parliament has repeatedly postponed the tax since its initial 2022 effective date.

Bitcoin Shows Partial Recovery: Options Data Published, What Do They Tell Us?

Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reports a shift towards more positive sentiment in the Bitcoin options market, with short-term fear indicators receding significantly. The one-week delta skew has dropped to around 7%, indicating reduced recent panic. However, longer-term skew metrics remain elevated at 10-12%, showing sustained investor demand for hedging against medium-to-long-term downside risks. The volatility pricing dynamic has also changed, with implied volatility (IV) now trading about 10% above realized volatility (RV), meaning the market is again paying a premium for uncertainty, though not at levels indicating severe stress. Call options continue to dominate open interest, totaling roughly $15 billion versus approximately $10 billion for puts. This persistent call-put spread, even after a major expiry event, suggests structurally stronger upside positioning despite spot market weakness. Recent option flows are concentrated around strike prices between $61,000 and $67,000, with notable demand for $65,000 calls. Glassnode concludes that while the market shows increasingly constructive short-term prospects with capital inflows painting a more positive picture, investors have not fully abandoned hedging strategies. High demand for long-term downside protection indicates ongoing caution regarding potential downward moves.

One of the first major Bitcoin buyers who purchased it at $15 has become active again after 10 months!

A significant early Bitcoin investor, who originally bought BTC when it was priced between $10 and $15, has become active again after approximately 10 months of dormancy. According to on-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens, this large holder, often referred to as a "whale," transferred 50 BTC (worth roughly $3.22 million) to a new wallet address. Market observers speculate this transfer could be preparatory for an over-the-counter (OTC) sale. The analysis points out that this investor has a history of moving assets to new addresses before sending portions to institutional crypto services like FalconX or centralized exchanges. OTC trades are commonly used by large players to execute substantial transactions without causing significant price slippage on the open market. However, experts caution against definitive conclusions, noting that such wallet movements can also be related to security upgrades, changes in custody strategy, or simple wallet consolidation, and do not necessarily indicate an impending sale.

Bitcoin Wallet Dormant for 13 Years Emptied of All Its Bitcoins

A Bitcoin wallet inactive for 13 years, containing 500 BTC, has moved all its funds. The assets, worth around $500,000 in 2013, yielded an estimated 6160% return for the owner. Analysts from Lookonchain suggest the investor may have moved the holdings due to security concerns following a series of hacks targeting Coldcard hardware wallets. Data from CryptoQuant shows that on Monday, August 3rd, approximately 935 bitcoins dormant for a decade or more were moved—the largest single-day volume since March 20th. A significant spike in activity was also observed on July 31st from wallets inactive for 5-7 years, with about 6,388 BTC moved. Blockchain researchers believe this surge is directly linked to the Coldcard incidents, as owners of old wallets are mass-migrating funds to new addresses for safety. According to Galaxy Research, losses from the Coldcard hacks have exceeded $100 million as of August 4th, affecting roughly 7,300 addresses and resulting in the theft of 1,596 BTC. Security experts warn the attacks are ongoing, with potential losses possibly rising to 2,055 BTC. The first attack occurred on July 30th, stealing 594.5 BTC ($38 million) from 500 addresses. At least three subsequent waves have been recorded, with a fourth underway; on August 3rd, about 388.9 BTC was moved from 462 victim addresses in roughly 2.5 hours. The rate of wallet draining during these attacks is estimated to be 45 times higher than normal.

Sorry everyone, Bitcoin is headed down to $43,500: Michael Terpin

Veteran crypto investor Michael Terpin predicts Bitcoin will fall to approximately $43,500, a 66% drop from its all-time high of $126,100 in October 2025. He states the market has not yet seen true capitulation and emphasizes that a defining hallmark of a bottom is that prices don't quickly rebound. Terpin, an early industry investor and founder of Transform Ventures, believes Bitcoin is still following its traditional four-year cycle, dismissing arguments that institutional adoption has permanently altered its pattern. While acknowledging the historical outperformance of Michael Saylor's company Strategy, Terpin personally prefers direct Bitcoin investment over corporate structures or altcoins, advising a low-maintenance approach focused on cycle timing rather than constant portfolio management.

Japanese Financial Giant Holding $42 Billion Worth of XRP Explains Reason for XRP Price Drop!

Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, which holds $42.2 billion worth of XRP, has linked the recent decline in XRP's price to regulatory delays in the United States. SBI's director, Yasuo Nishikawa, explained that investors are awaiting the outcome of the pivotal U.S. crypto regulation bill, the Clarity Act, currently under Senate review. This uncertainty has led to cautious investor behavior, putting pressure on the broader cryptocurrency market and specifically on XRP's value. Despite the short-term weakness, Nishikawa emphasized SBI's unchanged long-term confidence in XRP, reaffirming its status as a strategic asset for the company. The article clarifies that this is not investment advice.

A major Bitcoin market player, inactive for four years, transferred Bitcoin worth about 46 million dollars! Here are the details

A large Bitcoin investor, inactive for four years, has moved 730 BTC worth approximately $46.12 million. The assets, accumulated over seven years, were transferred to a newly created wallet from an address with no prior transaction history. Analysts suggest the move could be linked to recently discovered security vulnerabilities in hardware wallets, potentially prompting long-term holders to migrate funds for safety. There is no evidence the bitcoins were sent to an exchange, leaving the intent—whether for security or potential sale—unclear. This follows another recent large transfer of over 16,400 BTC (worth >$1 billion) by a separate long-term holder. Such activity signals renewed movement of funds among major investors, though transfers between wallets do not necessarily indicate imminent selling and can be for security or portfolio management purposes.
