A widely followed crypto analyst is warning traders to be on the lookout for tough months ahead as the markets retrace.
Crypto trader Justin Bennett warns his 112,000 Twitter followers that the total crypto market cap (TOTAL) is on its way down.

“TOTAL”

Bennett also sees warning signs for the crypto markets in the traditional financial markets. He says the S&P 500’s (SPX) recent drop spells trouble for crypto.
“It isn’t looking good for stocks and crypto, barring a significant recovery from SPX today.”

Source: Justin Bennett/Twitter Diving in deeper into the king crypto specifically, Bennett lays out two possible scenarios for BTC’s future in a new chart.
“The current state of BTC.”

Source: Justin Bennett/Twitter BTC is worth $28,600 at time of writing, just above the $28,450 price zone that could trigger a massive dump, as highlighted by Bennett.
Two days ago, Bennett told his followers that he was keeping an eye on how Ethereum (ETH) was trading against BTC (ETH/BTC).
“Eyes on ETH/BTC today. 
Waiting to see if this is a bearish deviation.
If so, and we get some short setups, you’ll want to choose ETH over BTC.
No confirmation yet.”

Source: Justin Bennett/Twitter Yesterday, he confirmed to his followers that he expects ETH to fall against BTC, questioning those who might be predicting a new altseason.
“Mentioned it yesterday, but I still favor ETH for any shorts that set up.
What alt season?”

Bitcoin in August: Experts Expect Range Testing, Not a Quick Reversal

Experts anticipate Bitcoin will remain under pressure in August, lacking momentum for a sustained rally after a partial July recovery. The price, trading around $63.5k, is seen stuck in a $60-65k range. Analysts cite a challenging macro environment of high U.S. rates, persistent inflation, and a strong dollar as key headwinds, alongside record ETF outflows. Historically, August is a weak month for crypto. Experts outline three main scenarios: a base case of sideways movement between $58-68k (50% probability), a bearish drop to $50-55k (30%), or a bullish push toward $71-75k (20%). Key levels to watch are support at $60-61k and resistance at $67k. While some see current prices as attractive for long-term accumulation, most warn of potential short-term downside, with a retest of $60k or even a fall toward $53k possible. A decisive market turnaround is not expected before Q4, making August a month for testing key levels rather than a major breakout.

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: 594 Bitcoin Withdrawn in 25 Minutes

The Coldcard hardware wallet has been compromised, with hackers stealing approximately 594.5 Bitcoin (~$40 million) from 500 addresses in just 25 minutes. The root cause was a critical software bug, undetected for five years, which disabled the device's secure chip for generating true random numbers. This led to the creation of private keys based on predictable data like the processor's serial number, drastically reducing cryptographic security. The attackers exploited this offline by brute-forcing possible seed phrases, finding active addresses on the public ledger, and signing transactions. Initially, Coinkite (Coldcard's maker) claimed only older models were at risk but later admitted all devices running the compromised firmware were vulnerable. CEO Rodolphe Novak (NVK) apologized but ruled out financial compensation for affected users. To secure funds, owners must urgently update their firmware to specific safe versions, generate a completely new seed phrase on the updated device, and transfer all assets to new addresses created with that new seed. While a BIP-39 passphrase can help, it does not replace this migration process. Other Coinkite products like TAPSIGNER were not affected. This incident underscores that even specialized hardware requires rigorous, independent code audits, especially for cryptographic functions. It parallels past failures, like a 2006 OpenSSL bug in Debian, and raises questions about whether automated code analysis can ever fully replace human scrutiny in critical security areas.

Tether (USDT) Publishes Anticipated Financial Results for the Second Quarter! Here's Its Current Status and Assets

Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, has published its Q2 2026 financial results. According to an independent audit by BDO, the company reported a net operating profit of approximately $1.5 billion and an excess of assets over liabilities totaling $4.11 billion. As of June 30, 2026, the circulating supply of USDT was roughly $184.6 billion, marking an increase of about $446 million from the prior quarter. Tether now holds over 60% of the global stablecoin market share. The $1.5 billion profit was primarily generated from U.S. Treasury bills and repurchase agreements. Total assets stood at approximately $187.75 billion against liabilities of $183.64 billion, with $183.62 billion of liabilities tied to issued digital tokens. Key actions during the quarter included a reduction of secured loans by $2.38 billion (down 15%) and an addition of 14 tons to its physical gold holdings, bringing the total to over 146 tons. CEO Paolo Ardoino reaffirmed that USDT remains fully backed by reserves despite market volatility. He also noted that the company is undergoing a comprehensive independent audit with one of the "Big Four" accounting firms.

Circle Reaches Major Regulatory Milestone, Receives Trust Charter from New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS)

Circle, a financial services and stablecoin company, announced it reached a key regulatory milestone by receiving a Limited Purpose Trust Charter from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This charter allows Circle to expand its operations in New York to include asset custody services, issuance of NYDFS-approved stablecoins, and management of the reserves backing them. The approval positions Circle's USDC stablecoin within a regulated framework and follows the company's earlier receipt of a national trust bank charter from the U.S. OCC. CEO Jeremy Allaire stated this achievement reflects over a decade of compliance commitment and aligns with NYDFS's high standards, comparable to those for full commercial banks, as digital dollars become central to the global financial system.

Crypto at a Discount: Bitcoin in Russia May Become Cheaper Than the Global Market

A new cryptocurrency law in Russia, set to take effect on September 1, 2026, will establish a licensed environment for trading digital assets. While this aims to bring transparency, experts warn it could cause cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to trade at a discount compared to global markets. This price gap is expected due to three main factors: sanctions-related risk labels attached to assets passing through Russian infrastructure, limited options to withdraw funds abroad, and an increased supply of coins from domestic miners who must sell locally. Arbitrage opportunities to profit from this price difference are likely to be impractical. The very same risk labels that create the discount would hinder transferring assets to foreign exchanges. Removing these labels is a slow, costly, and uncertain process, as compliance systems analyze the public blockchain history of addresses. Furthermore, the high costs of licensed intermediaries' fees, compliance checks, and administrative reporting would likely erase any potential profit margin from the arbitrage. Consequently, the Russian market may become an isolated circuit where digital assets are cheaper, but converting that discount into reliable earnings will be extremely difficult for most participants.
