On-chain data shows the Bitcoin MPI has spiked up recently, suggesting that miners may have started to dump the crypto.
Bitcoin Miners’ Position Index (MPI) Has Sharply Risen Recently
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, some data suggests BTC miners may have began to dump the coin following recent rally.
The “Miners’ Position Index” (or the MPI in brief) is an indicator that measures the ratio of the Bitcoin miner outflows and the 365-day moving average of the same.
The “miner outflows” is a metric that tells us the total amount of coins that miners are transferring out of their wallets right now.
When the value of the MPI is high, it means miners are sending out more coins than usual. This trend can be bearish for the price of Bitcoin as it may be a sign of dumping.
On the other hand, the indicator’s value being low can be bullish for the coin’s price as it may imply that miners are selling lesser than usual at the moment.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the BTC MPI over the past year:

As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin MPI has shot up in value in recent weeks. This could mean that miners have ramped up selling recently.
The quant has also included other indicators in the chart, the first of which is the miner to exchange flow, which tells us how much of the miner outflows are going to centralized exchanges.
Since this metric hasn’t spiked up, it could mean that miners are selling through OTC deals right now. Another indicator on the chart is the miner inflow, which measures the amount of coins moving into miner wallets.
Interestingly, this metric had a larger spike than the outflows, which implies that any selling some miners may have done should be more than made up for through the buying by other miners.
The whole picture would suggest that the current trend should have a rather neutral impact on the price of Bitcoin.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $47.9k, up 12% in the last seven days. Over the past thirty days, the crypto has gained 27% in value.
The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

$19.2 Billion Pours into Bitcoin ETFs: Bessent Doubles Bond Buyback, Ignites $2.74 Billion Short Squeeze in 48 Hours

**Headline:** $19.2 Billion Flows into Bitcoin ETFs: Treasury Doubles Bond Buys, Sparking 48-Hour Crypto Short Squeeze **Summary:** The crypto market experienced a sharp reversal driven by a confluence of macro events. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest weekly inflow of 2026 at $1.92 billion. The key trigger was the U.S. Treasury's surprise announcement to double its long-term bond repurchase program to $4 billion, which lowered long-end yields and sparked a massive $2.74 billion short squeeze over two days. This was amplified by a pro-crypto White House meeting with industry CEOs and the SEC's first formal proposal for crypto asset regulation. However, the rally's leveraged nature was exposed by a weekend flash crash where XRP plummeted 37%, leading to $1.71 billion in liquidations in six minutes. The market now watches for signals from the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium and the potential passage of the CLARITY Act by mid-September. While ETF inflows and the Treasury's move provided a significant boost, the event underscored underlying market fragility.

a16z Deep Dive: Stop Chasing the 'AI Smell', Here's a Practical Guide to Writing with AI

"Don't Obsess Over AI Detection: A Practical Guide to Writing Alongside AI" by Steph Zinn (a16z Crypto) This guide moves beyond the flawed premise that AI-generated text can be easily spotted by a set of "tells" and that these features automatically mean poor quality. Instead, it focuses on how writers and founders can use LLMs effectively by understanding, controlling, and editing the common stylistic tendencies of AI-assisted prose. The article breaks down AI writing "tells" into four key dimensions: **1. Rhetorical Features (Insight-Shaped Writing):** AI often produces semantically empty, "corporate-sounding" filler language—vague profundities, hedging phrases, excessive parallelism, and summary statements. The advice is to ruthlessly edit these out, using prompts to make language more specific and direct. **2. Voice Features (The Alexa Voice):** Default AI writing relies on a narrow, fungible vocabulary of low-friction, abstract words and cliché phrases that lack personality. While this generic voice is acceptable for support docs or mass communications, founders should preserve their unique voice for impactful writing. Use LLMs to identify and replace jargon, aiming for concrete, distinctive word choices. **3. Structural Features (Form Without Function):** AI tends towards over-structured text with excessive subheadings, lists, roadmaps, and the rigid "three-point" framework. While clear structure is good for readability and SEO, it shouldn't force ideas into unnatural containers. Choose a structure that serves the format and purpose, borrowing from effective examples. **4. Punctuation Features (Dash Panic):** The overuse of em dashes and colons has become a hallmark, but writers shouldn't avoid useful punctuation just to seem "human." The key is avoiding repetitive, distracting patterns. Use punctuation that is grammatically correct and supports the flow of your argument. The core argument is that many so-called AI flaws are just amplified versions of existing bad writing habits. The goal isn't to eliminate AI's role but to use it as a tool while maintaining editorial control. The final question shouldn't be "Can this be detected as AI?" but "Does this writing effectively do its job?"

Podcast Notes | Conversation with Tom Lee: Bitmine Acquiring Nearly 5% of Total ETH Supply Is Not the End Goal, ETH Price Target Set at $10,000

In a podcast interview, Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, discusses the company's strategy to accumulate nearly 5% of the total Ethereum supply within 14 months, using equity financing and avoiding debt. BitMine has consistently purchased ETH for over 60 consecutive weeks, with recent weeks combining buybacks with purchases. The company's substantial ETH holdings generate approximately $300 million in annual staking rewards, covering operational costs like the dividends for its 9.5% perpetual preferred stock (BMNP). Lee positions ETH as a store-of-value asset, likening it to stocks or land, rather than a pure cash-flow instrument. Looking ahead, Lee suggests BitMine may continue buying beyond the 5% target if institutional adoption grows. He outlines a bullish price target for ETH: surpassing $5,000 in a new crypto bull cycle and potentially exceeding $10,000 within 1-2 years, driven by Wall Street tokenization and AI-related demand. The discussion also covers BitMine's evolution into an ecosystem player, funding Ethereum Foundation spin-offs and developing its Maven staking platform. Lee acknowledges his significant financial interests are tied to ETH's price and BitMine's performance. The interview provides a framework for evaluating ETH as a long-term asset, emphasizing staking yield sustainability and future institutional demand, while noting the uncertainties surrounding macro cycles and real-world adoption.

Ripple's RLUSD Market Cap Exceeds $2 Billion, With Nearly $1 Billion on XRP Ledger

Ripple USD's ($RLUSD) market capitalization has surpassed $2 billion, with nearly $1 billion issued on the XRP Ledger. Launched in December 2024, the stablecoin is backed by reserves of cash and cash equivalents, attested monthly by Deloitte. Data shows $RLUSD's market cap at approximately $2.02 billion, split almost evenly between the XRP Ledger ($962.8M) and Ethereum ($1.05B). This represents an eight-fold increase since April 2025. The stablecoin has provided significant dollar liquidity to the XRP Ledger, with over $2.5B processed through RLUSD trading pairs. Ripple is expanding RLUSD's utility through payments integrations (including Mastercard), exchange listings, regional distribution deals, and support for institutional lending initiatives on the XRP Ledger. A new platform, Ripple Mint, also allows qualified institutions to manage RLUSD issuance and redemptions.

Pricing Risk Assets in 8 Hours: Tonight's PCE to Set the Discount Rate, Nvidia to Test Earnings Tomorrow Morning

"Pricing Risk Assets in 8 Hours: PCE to Set the Discount Rate Tonight, NVIDIA to Test Profits Tomorrow Morning" Risk asset prices hinge on two variables: the numerator (earnings expectations) and the denominator (the discount rate). Both will be recalibrated within eight hours. First, at 20:30 Beijing time, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis releases July PCE inflation data and the second estimate of Q2 GDP. Consensus expects mild core PCE growth, but a surge in key PPI components poses an upside risk. A hotter-than-expected print could push Treasury yields and the dollar higher, threatening the recent rally in Bitcoin (BTC) above $80K, which was fueled by falling yields. A benign reading would support risk assets. Market sentiment is already "greedy" (Fear & Greed Index at 74), making it vulnerable to disappointment. Second, around 04:20, NVIDIA reports its Q2 FY27 earnings. While consensus revenue of ~$91.85B slightly exceeds company guidance, the market has priced in a beat. The key will be the magnitude of the beat and, crucially, the Q3 guidance. As a bellwether for tech and AI narratives, NVIDIA's results will significantly impact overall risk appetite and AI-related crypto tokens. The combination creates four scenarios: 1) Benign PCE & strong NVIDIA guidance confirms the bullish trend. 2) Hot PCE & strong NVIDIA leads to conflicted signals and likely volatility for BTC. 3) Benign PCE & weak NVIDIA guidance pressures tech but offers some macro support for BTC. 4) Hot PCE & weak NVIDIA guidance presents a "double whammy," risking a sharp pullback in BTC toward the $75K-$76K support zone. The outcomes will set the tone for markets ahead of the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium.
