A crypto trader’s wallet address remains public, but their name rarely becomes public. That is why such a crypto trader is also called a “mysterious trader” whose identity remains anonymous.

Rising federal interest costs could intensify financial-market pressure without an economic downturn or new emergency, Devere Group CEO Nigel Green warned on Aug. 24. He argued that borrowing required to finance existing interest expenses creates larger future obligations as older, lower-cost debt matures and is refinanced at higher rates.

Bobby Sees a Historic Bitcoin Bear Trap
Bobby’s chart reaches a very different conclusion.

His analysis uses Bitcoin’s monthly timeframe, stretching back to 2017, and places the current market inside a broad long-term rising channel.

Rather than interpreting the 2025-2026 decline as a completed bull market followed by a traditional crypto winter, Bobby believes Bitcoin was mid-cycle.

That’s a major distinction.


Source: X/@Bobby_1111888
If he is correct, the fall from the highs toward $60,000 was not the beginning of a multi-year deterioration. It was a huge correction inside a larger secular uptrend.

His chart provides some support for that interpretation.

Bitcoin’s decline took price from the upper portion of the long-term channel toward its lower region. The recent low also developed around a major rising moving average on the monthly chart, an area that has played an important role during previous long-term market structures.

Bitcoin price has since bounced and the current monthly candle has returned toward $80,000.

Momentum indicators underneath the price chart are also attempting to turn from depressed readings. The RSI-like momentum panel has bounced from around the lower half of its range, and the faster oscillator below it is curling upward from deeply compressed levels.

The MACD-style indicator remains less convincing. Momentum is still negative there, meaning Bobby’s bullish interpretation is not fully confirmed by every indicator on the chart.

That makes the next several monthly closes important.

$ETHFI defends key $0.60 demand zone
$ETHFI has respected the $0.60-demand zone so far, allowing buyers to regain control after the recent weakness.

In the short-run, if $ETHFI continues to hold above the zone, the bullish recovery could extend towards the next technical target. On the daily charts, the market imbalance between $0.69 and $0.73 would stand out as the next key target for $ETHFI holders and bulls.

In most cases, the price often revisits significant imbalances as the market attempts to rebalance areas of inefficient trading. The same turn of events could be in store for $ETHFI.

BNB Chain activates Pasteur hard fork to strengthen bridge security$BNB Smart Chain (BSC) activated its Pasteur hard fork on Tuesday, closing bridge verification and validator authorization gaps while introducing a new route intended to fit more transactions into each block.

In a Tuesday post, $BNB Chain confirmed that Pasteur was live on the BSC mainnet. The team said the upgrade strengthens the network’s bridge, staking and governance security while giving blocks more capacity without changing its 450-millisecond block time.

The upgrade combines three $BNB Evolution Proposals. BEP-682 rejects duplicate validator entries during cross-chain light-block verification, while BEP-695 tightens controls involving validator key rotation, slashing and governance voting. Furthermore, BEP-675 changes how specialist builders submit blocks to validators.

The upgrade prevents validators from being counted more than once in bridge approvals, removes authority from old validator keys and blocks restricted addresses from voting, while aiming to fit more transactions into blocks during busy periods.

Pasteur targets fuller blocks

Under BSC’s previous block-building route, a builder executed transactions before submitting a proposed block, and the validator executed them again before signing it. $BNB Chain said the repeated work took time away from builders operating within the network’s 450-millisecond block window, sometimes leaving blocks underfilled.

BEP-675 allows builders to submit blocks they have already executed. Validators check the proposed block against consensus rules, sign and broadcast it, then complete full execution verification afterward. Builders can also continue using the previous route, under which validators execute transactions before signing.

In tests conducted on QANet, an internal environment designed to mirror BSC’s geographically distributed validators, the new route increased throughput by about

Bitcoin tops $80,000, solana jumps 8% but rally now runs into overbought warningBitcoin rose above $80,000 in Asian morning hours Tuesday, up 4% on the day and over 25% on the week, extending a rally that began with the Treasury's move to expand its bond buybacks.

Positioning is getting stretched, meanwhile. Bitfire Research pointed to a widely watched momentum gauge which compared recent gains against recent losses on a scale of zero to 100, sitting near 78 for bitcoin.

Anything above 70 is usually read as a sign that a price has climbed too far too fast and is due a pause. Bitfire signals selling pressure between $78,500 and $82,000, and buyers likely to step in around $72,400 to $73,500, per a note sent to CoinDesk.

Solana led the majors, up almost 8% to just above $101 and almost 35% over seven days. Ether added over 2% to just under $2,500 and is up almost 32% on the week. BNB rose over 2% to just under $714. XRP gained almost 2% to just above $1.50 and leads all majors on the week at over 52%.

Solana's gains come as validators vote on two proposals that would cut SOL's supply, as CoinDesk reported, one slowing new issuance and one raising daily burns to as much as $800,000. Voting closes Thursday.

Zcash extended its run, up over 1% to $846 and 66% on the week, the strongest weekly performance among the top dozen tokens. Dogecoin edged up to 9 cents for a 32% weekly gain, and tron rose half a percent to just under 35 cents, the only major without a double-digit week at 4%.

Hyperliquid's HYPE was the sole decliner, off marginally at $81, though it holds a 36% weekly gain.

The rally traces to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's plan to step up bond repurchases, which revived talk of the debasement trade, the idea that holding assets outside government control protects against a

Trending Token Price Prediction ChallengeHTX 13th-Anniversary CarnivalHTX Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500UMANTRA’s native token sank 18.5% from its 24-hour high to a record low shortly before 

MANTRA’s native token sank 18.5% from its 24-hour high to a record low shortly before MANTRA Chain stopped producing blocks and its team announced a precautionary halt over an unexplained incident.

According to CoinGecko, MANTRA fell from $0.005060 to an all-time low of $0.004126 around 11:00 pm UTC on Thursday. It later recovered to about $0.0044 but remained down roughly 10% over 24 hours, while trading volume climbed nearly 600% to $24 million. 

MANTRA said Friday it was “aware of an incident affecting MANTRA Chain” and had halted the network as a precaution while it investigated. “We don’t have a root cause or timeline to share yet,” the project said, adding that all endpoints and transactions were frozen. 

The halt prevents assets from moving on MANTRA Chain and has prompted affected exchanges to pause deposits and withdrawals, with no timeline given for either service to resume.

MANTRA Chain remains halted as investigation continues

MANTRA’s status page classified the incident as a full outage affecting public endpoints, validators, bridge migration operations and MANTRA-managed Inter-Blockchain Communication relays. The team said it would not restart the network until it was confident it was safe. 

The network’s public RPC listed block 17,449,398, produced at 11:13 pm UTC on Thursday, as its latest block. MANTRA posted its initial incident notice at 11:44 pm, while CoinGecko showed the token reaching its low around 11:10 pm. 

MANTRA has not said whether the price movement was related to the incident or whether any assets were lost or placed at risk. 

Cointelegraph contacted the MANTRA team for additional information but did not receive a response by publication. 

The latest decline follows the April 2025 collapse of MANTRA’s former OM token, which plunged more than 90% from about $6

Chainlink is attracting renewed attention as $LINK recently posted a strong recovery, with reports highlighting increased institutional demand and multiple new integrations. Spot $LINK ETFs recorded six consecutive days of inflows totaling about $13.35 million, while Grayscale's Chainlink ETF also recently added around 132,950 $LINK, worth approximately $1.53 million. Chainlink is also expanding its infrastructure footprint: the Wyoming Stable Token Commission announced that it migrated to Chainlink CCIP for enhanced operational security. These developments strengthen the narrative around Chainlink's role in tokenization, cross-chain infrastructure and institutional blockchain adoption.

Crypto’s Big Week: 5 Events That Could Move PI, ARB, MON, XLM & MoreThe final week of August is scheduled to bring several important developments across the crypto market. There are major updates lined up for Pi Network, Arbitrum, Monad, Stable and Stellar between August 24 and August 27.

While these events are unlikely to move the entire crypto market on their own, they might create fresh narratives around tokenized stocks, stablecoins, blockchain scalability, AI applications and real-world asset adoption.24 August: Pi Network Changes App Studio Pricing
The first major update comes from Pi Network, which is changing the pricing structure for its Pi App Studio on August 24.

Previously, creators could create or edit applications for just 0.25 Pi, with Pi Network covering much of the underlying AI costs. Now, under the new system, pricing will more closely reflect the actual cost of AI services.

However, apps that attract real users and provide meaningful utility can still qualify for subsidized pricing. Eligibility will also be reviewed regularly, allowing developers to improve their applications and potentially qualify later.

For Pi, the biggest impact will be on utility rather than immediate price. Higher development costs may reduce low-quality applications, while successful apps boost demand for the token within the ecosystem.

24 August: Arbitrum Expands Into Tokenized Stocks
Arbitrum is also moving deeper into the real-world asset market, with tokenized U.S. stocks coming to its network. Recently, Arbitrum One has climbed to #2 in perpetuals, recording $1.48B in volume and $1.834B in open interest.

The development gives users access to blockchain-based versions of traditional equities. The assets are designed around 1:1 backing and on-chain settlement.
