BitMEX removes 65 markets as its 11-year run nears an end
BitMEX will have removed 65 derivative contracts and spot trading pairs during July as the crypto exchange prepares to stop exchange services on Sept. 23, 2026.
Summary
- BitMEX will remove 65 derivatives and spot pairs during July, citing weak trading interest overall.
- New risk limits begin August 26, preventing traders from opening positions before September’s final closure.
- Users can withdraw after shutdown, but remaining verified accounts will face monthly balance-based account fees.
The total includes 21 derivatives removed on July 2, nine spot pairs removed on July 16 and 35 derivatives scheduled for early settlement on July 30.
The July total marks a sharp rise from the first half of 2026. Official notices show that BitMEX removed eight derivatives in January, eight in May, SPYUSDT in June and two Toncoin contracts later that month. That produced 19 removals across the first six months.
July delistings expand after closure decision
BitMEX attributed the first two July rounds to “insufficient trading interest.” The July 2 batch included contracts tied to Apple, Amazon, Avalanche, BMEX, Meta and Near Protocol. Two weeks later, the exchange removed spot markets for UNI, APE, ATOM, AXS, BONK, LINK, POL, Sonic and TRX.
The final July round will remove 35 derivatives at 12:00 UTC on July 30. BitMEX linked that decision to weak trading interest and the exchange closure. The list covers crypto, foreign exchange, commodities and equity-linked products, including AAVEUSDT, COINUSDT, GOOGLUSDT, MSTRUSDT, NVDAUSDT, TSLAUSDT and WTIUSDT.
Trading will continue until 04:00 UTC on July 30. BitMEX will then stop new funding calculations, cancel open orders and settle positions at the stated prices. It will not charge settlement fees. Profit and loss from each expired contract will move to the user’s Bitcoin or Tether balance.
BitMEX sets deadlines for open positions
BitMEX said it will close the exchange at 04:00 UTC on Sept. 23 after a “strategic review of the business and the broader crypto industry.” HDR Global Trading Limited, the platform’s owner and operator, stopped accepting new account registrations when it announced the shutdown.
The exchange will apply new risk limits from 04:00 UTC on Aug. 26. Users will no longer be able to open positions after that point, although they can reduce existing exposure. BitMEX may force-close positions during the wind-down period and will close any positions still open when exchange services end.
Users will keep account access after the closure date. They can view balances, review transaction records and request withdrawals. BitMEX also unstaked BMEX tokens held through the platform. The company urged customers to close positions and withdraw funds before Sept. 23.
Verified users who leave assets on the platform after the deadline will face a fee. BitMEX set the charge at $50 or 1% per year, whichever is higher, billed monthly. It warned that withdrawal reviews and blockchain limits could cause delays during heavy demand.
Shutdown follows management and sale reports
BitMEX launched in 2014 and became closely linked with leveraged crypto derivatives. A crypto.news guide to perpetual futures notes that the exchange created the perpetual swap in 2016. The contract later spread across centralized and decentralized trading venues.
However, the exchange entered its final months after corporate changes. As crypto.news reported in June, BitMEX appointed former chief operating officer and general counsel Peter Wilkinson as chief executive after removing Stephan Lutz and two other senior leaders. The changes followed reports that the company had sought a buyer.
Crypto.news reported in February 2025 that BitMEX had hired Broadhaven Capital Partners to assist with a potential sale. BitMEX did not mention that process in its closure statement. It also did not provide financial results, trading-volume data or a direct cause beyond its strategic review.
Users face an orderly withdrawal process
BitMEX said withdrawals will remain open after exchange services stop. It also stated that its assets exceed customer liabilities, referring users to its proof-of-reserves and liabilities page. The company warned customers to ignore messages promising priority withdrawals because it does not offer such a service.
Additional checks may slow processing. Bitcoin withdrawals may take longer when network confirmations or the platform’s fixed pool of withdrawal addresses create a queue. Customers can monitor requests marked “Processing” until BitMEX sends them to the blockchain.
The closure differs from some recent exchange wind-downs. As previously reported, AscendEX warned that some users might not recover full balances after financial and regulatory pressure forced it to close. BitMEX says customer assets remain covered, although that statement comes from the exchange.
The July schedule now forms the first major stage of the shutdown. BitMEX will settle 35 more contracts on July 30, restrict new positions on Aug. 26 and end exchange services on Sept. 23. Users can still withdraw afterward, but fees will apply to qualifying balances left past the closure time.

Hackers’ Day | July 23: $35.5M Lost. A Reminder That Security Is a Shared Responsibility
On July 24, three major DeFi protocols lost a combined $35.5 million within just six hours, highlighting the growing importance of crypto infrastructure security. This report reviews what happened, what these incidents reveal about today’s security landscape, and why building resilient protection systems has become a shared responsibility across the entire crypto industry.
TL;DR
- July 23 became “Hackers’ Day” after three major security incidents resulted in approximately $35.5 million in losses within six hours.
- The attacks targeted cross-chain bridges and supporting infrastructure, rather than the underlying blockchains themselves.
- The incidents highlight why security today extends far beyond smart contracts, requiring stronger infrastructure, operational resilience and transparency across the industry.
- Every crypto platform has a role to play in strengthening user protection through continuous investment in security.
- At WEEX, that commitment includes a 1,000 BTC Protection Fund, 1:1 Proof of Reserves, enterprise-grade infrastructure and eight years of secure operations.
- Security is not defined by how platforms respond after attacks. It is built long before attacks happen.
A Wake-Up Call for the Entire Crypto Industry
On July 23, three separate security incidents resulted in approximately $35.5 million in losses within just six hours.
Although the affected projects belonged to different ecosystems, they shared one important message. Security is not a challenge unique to any single protocol, platform or architecture. It is a responsibility shared across the entire crypto industry.
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, so do the methods used by attackers. Every new layer of infrastructure—from bridges and validators to wallets and cloud services—creates new opportunities for innovation, but also new responsibilities for protecting users.
Rather than focusing on which project was attacked, these incidents encourage a more important discussion:
How can the industry continue building a safer environment for everyone?
Three Incidents. One Common Lesson.
| Protocol | Estimated Loss | Root Cause | Current Status |
| AFX Trade | $24.15M | Third-party bridge infrastructure | Negotiating with attacker |
| Verus Ethereum Bridge | $7.54M | Bridge import mechanism exploited | Investigation ongoing |
| B² Network | $3.86M | Investigation ongoing | Investigation ongoing |
Although the three incidents affected different projects, they revealed a common pattern: None resulted from failures of Bitcoin, Ethereum or Arbitrum themselves. Instead, attackers exploited supporting infrastructure such as cross-chain bridges and off-chain verification systems.
The industry’s infrastructure has become increasingly interconnected and so have the security challenges that come with it. As crypto continues to evolve, security must evolve alongside innovation.
Building Security for a More Connected Crypto Ecosystem
Every innovation brings new opportunities and new responsibilities.
Whether assets move through decentralized protocols, centralized platforms or cross-chain infrastructure, protecting users increasingly depends on the strength of the systems supporting them.
The events of July 23 highlight three areas the industry continues to strengthen.
- Infrastructure Resilience — Modern crypto applications rely on bridges, validators, oracles, cloud services and other interconnected components. Strengthening every layer of infrastructure has become increasingly important as ecosystems grow more connected.
- Protection Mechanisms — Security today is no longer only about preventing attacks. It also includes how platforms prepare for unexpected events through transparent reserves, operational safeguards and long-term risk management.
- User Confidence Through Transparency — Clear communication, verifiable asset protection and well-defined incident response processes all help strengthen trust when unexpected events occur.
Security is no longer a feature added after products are built. It has become a core part of building sustainable crypto infrastructure.
How the Industry Continues to Improve
Every major security incident leaves behind valuable lessons. Over the past several years, the crypto industry has continuously strengthened its security standards by investing in:
- Independent security audits
- Bug bounty and responsible disclosure programs
- Proof of Reserves
- Protection funds
- Real-time risk monitoring
- Stronger wallet security
- Better operational controls
While no platform can eliminate every risk, each improvement helps raise the overall security standard for the entire ecosystem.
Security is not a destination. It is an ongoing process of learning and improvement.
Building Security Before Incidents Happen
Every major incident reminds the industry that preparation matters more than reaction.
At WEEX, security has always been approached as a long-term commitment rather than a short-term response. Our security framework combines transparency, operational resilience and continuous investment to help protect user assets.
- 1,000 BTC Protection Fund — An additional protection reserve designed to provide greater confidence during unexpected security events.
- 1:1 Proof of Reserves — Publicly verifiable reserves that allow users to independently confirm their assets are fully backed.
- Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure — Multi-layer cold wallet management, continuous risk monitoring and strict operational controls help strengthen platform resilience.
- Eight Years of Secure Operations — Since 2018, WEEX has maintained a strong operational security record through multiple market cycles.
- Trusted by Over 10 Million Users — Long-term confidence from users around the world reflects our continued commitment to security and reliability.
- Chosen by 1 in Every 6 Crypto KOLs — Recognition from leading voices across the crypto community reinforces our focus on transparency and platform quality.
Security is not something users should only think about after an incident. It should be something they can rely on every day.
Five Safety Tips for Every Crypto User
No matter which products or platforms you use, protecting your assets should always remain the first priority.
✅ Understand how a platform protects user assets before depositing funds.
✅ Verify wallet permissions and smart contract addresses carefully.
✅ Be cautious of products promising unusually high returns.
✅ Diversify assets and avoid relying on a single protocol or platform.
✅ Evaluate transparency, operational practices and security infrastructure—not just features or returns.
Security works best when platforms, developers and users all play their part.
Final Thoughts for WEEX Users
The events of July 23 remind us that security is never a one-time achievement, it’s an ongoing commitment. Every incident pushes the industry to build stronger infrastructure, greater transparency and better protection for users.
At WEEX, that commitment guides every investment we make in security, because putting users first is the foundation of a stronger crypto ecosystem.

Intel at a Crossroads: Earnings Beat Meets Technical Resistance
Intel has just delivered its strongest quarter in over fifteen years, and the market reaction says it all. Q2 2026 revenue surged 25% year-over-year to $16.1 billion, crushing the consensus estimate of $14.42 billion, while adjusted EPS of $0.42 nearly doubled the expected $0.21. The stock rallied over 12% in after-hours trading following the release.
The engine behind the beat was unmistakably AI: Intel’s Data Center and AI segment jumped 59% year-over-year to $6.3 billion, with the company saying demand is now outpacing what its factories can supply. CEO Lip-Bu Tan pointed to faster production cycles and improved yields as key drivers behind the upside, while CFO Dave Zinsner said the company exceeded its guidance thanks to stronger execution.
There was a notable asterisk, however: Intel posted a GAAP net loss of $11 billion, driven by a $12.5 billion mark-to-market charge tied to its CHIPS Act agreement—a technical, non-operational hit that markets largely looked past. Looking ahead, Intel raised its Q3 guidance to a $16.3 billion midpoint, reinforcing confidence that this AI-driven turnaround has real momentum behind it.
Intel Technical Analysis

As the INTC stock chart shows, the explosive rally from March’s lows near $40 to July’s highs above $140 has since cooled into a broad falling wedge, with price now consolidating around the $100 level, sitting right between the 0.382 and 0.5 Fibonacci retracements of the entire move.
Bullish Scenario
Following yesterday’s blowout earnings, price is testing the confluence of the descending trendline from the July highs and the 0.382 retracement near $108. A confirmed breakout above this zone would suggest buyers are back in control, opening the path toward a retest of the wedge highs near $130-$140 as fresh momentum builds following the earnings catalyst.
Bearish Scenario
Conversely, a rejection at this same trendline-Fibonacci confluence would keep the price capped within the wedge, increasing the odds of a deeper pullback toward the 0.5 retracement near $94, or even the rising trendline support closer to $85-$90 if selling pressure intensifies and the earnings pop fades.
With price wedged directly between trendline resistance and key Fibonacci support, Intel’s next move looks set to be decisive. Will the earnings beat be enough to reignite the rally, or does the broader correction still have room to run?

Odos shuts down July 30 as DeFi aggregator ends all services
Odos will permanently close its decentralized exchange aggregation services on July 30, 2026, as its operating company winds down.
Summary
- Odos disables swaps July 27 and permanently closes its application, APIs, support and development afterward.
- Social-login wallet users must transfer assets or export private keys before company services disappear permanently.
- ODOS remains onchain, while the separate DAO has not yet published its future operating plans.
The company announced the move in an X thread on July 23. It did not provide a specific reason for ending operations. The announcement did not identify an acquirer, insolvency filing, security breach or regulatory order as the cause of the company’s decision to stop operating.
The shutdown affects the Odos application, APIs, support and development work. Odos said “your assets remain yours and on-chain” because the platform does not hold user tokens. However, customers who created wallets through social or email logins must act before its access tools disappear.
Odos sets a three-stage shutdown schedule
Odos disabled new account registrations, new wallet creation and new limit orders on July 23. Existing users can continue swapping and closing positions until July 27. The application will then enter read-only mode, allowing users to check balances and transaction records without initiating new activity.
All company-operated services will stop permanently on July 30. The team said there will be no further maintenance, product development or customer support after that date. Odos advised users to move to other services before the deadline.
Users who connected an external self-custody wallet do not need to withdraw funds from Odos because the aggregator never controlled those assets. The platform’s terms of use describe Odos as a routing service that searches decentralized exchanges for swap prices and sends transactions to third-party protocols rather than holding customer tokens.
Social-login wallet users must export access
The deadline applies to users who created wallets through an email or social-media login. Odos told those users to transfer their assets to another wallet or export their private keys before July 30. The company said wallet-access instructions will remain available on an official page after shutdown.
Users should complete that process carefully because a private key or seed phrase grants control over a wallet, and anyone who obtains it can move the assets. Odos warned that it will not launch a token migration, claim page, new product or airdrop during the closure process.
The team said messages offering those services are scams. It urged users not to share seed phrases or sign transactions through links that claim to support an Odos migration or relaunch. Any announcement about the ecosystem would need to come from the separate Odos DAO channels.
ODOS token and DAO remain separate
Odos said the ODOS token will continue to exist onchain after the company closes. The business does not custody the token or provide market-making, according to the announcement. The closure therefore does not automatically change the token contract, balances or transfer rules.
The Odos DAO also remains separate from the company. It plans to communicate its own next steps, but the operating team warned users not to treat that statement as a promise of continued development. No DAO transition plan had been published when the shutdown was announced.
Odos launched its DAO and tokenized loyalty program in December 2024. Binance Alpha included ODOS among a group of tokens that month, as crypto.news reported. The DAO later developed a governance process that allowed community members to submit ideas, receive feedback and move eligible proposals toward votes.
Closure follows years of multichain growth
Semiotic Labs developed Odos as a smart-order-routing system for decentralized finance. The service searched many liquidity sources to find routes for single-token and multi-token swaps. Its official website promoted swaps, limit orders, portfolio rebalancing and APIs for wallets, exchanges and institutional users.
Odos previously reported more than $25 billion in cumulative volume and 1.9 million wallets by May 2024. A later community report listed more than 147,000 monthly active wallets, over 100 API partners, 16 supported chains and more than 1,150 liquidity sources during the third quarter of 2025.
DefiLlama data viewed after the announcement placed Odos at about $102.5 billion in cumulative aggregator volume and $8.6 million in cumulative protocol revenue. Its 30-day aggregator volume stood near $1.58 billion. Those figures measure historical activity and do not explain why the operating company decided to close.
The shutdown joins other crypto service exits during 2026. As previously reported, DeFi application Legend closed after failing to reach a sustainable scale, while Satori Finance ended exchange operations after revenue no longer supported its business. Yield Guild Games also closed its publishing unit and cut jobs.
Odos users now face a shorter timetable. Swaps stop when read-only mode begins on July 27, and all services end three days later. The company has not announced a buyer, replacement operator or restart plan. The DAO may provide separate guidance, but users should rely only on verified channels.

Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Reclaimed Top 15 Crypto by Market Cap as Whale Accumulates
Cardano price is trading around $0.165, after large holders quietly accumulated more than 30 million ADA over the past week, bumping up its prediction. The buying briefly pushed ADA ahead of Stellar into 15th place by market cap. Although the ranking did not last, the accumulation remains notable. Santiment data suggests this was part of a steady buying trend rather than a one-off trade.
According to The Crypto Basic, large wallet ADA holdings climbed to 5.69 billion over seven days. Meanwhile, wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA reached a combined 25.6 billion ADA. That marks the highest balance in roughly three and a half years. The trend suggests bigger investors continue adding despite the recent pullback.
Charles Hoskinson has also reiterated his belief that ADA could return to the top 10 before the year’s end. Reaching that goal would require a substantial rally from current levels to overtake Dogecoin by market capitalization. Whether whales are positioning for that outcome or simply accumulating at lower prices remains the key question.
Meanwhile, capital continues rotating into select altcoins as Bitcoin and Ethereum consolidate. That backdrop could eventually support ADA if demand strengthens. Even so, traders will likely wait for technical confirmation before calling for a sustained recovery.

Cardano Price Prediction: Can ADA Reach $0.19 This Week?
ADA is trading around $0.165, extending its long pullback. The token is testing support near $0.165, while the first resistance now sits around $0.172. A move above that level could reopen the path toward $0.180 if buying volume improves.
Some forecasting models still expect a modest recovery over the coming weeks, while a more cautious outlook continues to place stronger support near $0.148. That leaves traders watching whether the $0.165 area can hold before momentum weakens further.
Recent price action has largely reflected improving sentiment across the altcoin market instead of a Cardano-specific catalyst. As a result, ADA remains highly sensitive to overall crypto market flows. If risk appetite returns, the current dip could become another accumulation zone.
Three scenarios remain worth watching. In the bullish case, ADA defends $0.165 support, volume improves, and price rebounds toward $0.172 and $0.180. The base case sees consolidation between $0.165 and $0.172 while whale accumulation continues. However, if market sentiment deteriorates, ADA could revisit the $0.148 support, putting the recent recovery attempt at risk.

Maxi Doge Targets Early Mover Upside as Cardano Tests Key Levels
ADA’s accumulation story is compelling, but at a current market cap in the billions, the math on a life-changing return requires that 76% move, Hoskinson is projecting at minimum. Traders running tighter risk parameters are already eyeing earlier-stage setups where the entry price itself does more of the work. That’s the positioning logic behind presale allocations in the current cycle.
Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is an ERC-20 meme token built around a 240-lb canine mascot embodying the 1000x leverage trading mentality. Think gym-bro culture meets DeFi degenerate energy, packaged with actual utility mechanics.
The presale has raised $4.8 million at a current price of $0.000283, with dynamic staking APY available to early holders. The project offers holder-only trading competitions with leaderboard rewards, a Maxi Fund treasury earmarked for liquidity and partnerships, and meme-first marketing that has driven genuine community traction.
Dogecoin’s own price mechanics illustrate how community-driven meme assets can defy conventional valuation logic when sentiment aligns.

Gate IPO Access Phase 2 Opens Jersey Mike’s (JMKE) Indication Subscription with Dual-Currency Support in USDT and GUSD
Gate, a leading global digital asset trading platform, has announced the launch of the second project on its IPO Access platform, Jersey Mike’s (JMKE). Users can participate in the IPO indication subscription using USDT or GUSD for the opportunity to receive allocated shares and trade them directly on Gate’s stock market after the company’s public listing.
The indication subscription for Jersey Mike’s (JMKE) will open on July 27, 2026, 02:00 (UTC) and close on July 29, 2026, 02:00 (UTC). The indicative IPO price range is $21–$25 per share, with the final subscription price subject to the official IPO pricing. Users can participate with a minimum commitment of 100 USDT or 100 GUSD and a maximum commitment of 500,000 USDT or 500,000 GUSD, with no additional subscription fees.
The offering will be split equally between a USDT subscription pool and a GUSD subscription pool, each representing 50% of the total allocation. Allocation will be determined based on each user’s hourly average locked commitment throughout the subscription period. Users who participate earlier and maintain their commitment for a longer duration will receive a higher allocation weight. The project’s subscription arrangements will be dynamically adjusted based on overall interest levels, and there is a possibility that the subscription period could be closed early.
Please note that this is an indication subscription, meaning that submitting a subscription interest does not guarantee an allocation. Participants may receive a full allocation, partial allocation, or no allocation at all, depending on the final IPO allocation received by Gate, overall subscription demand, and the official IPO offering results. Allocated shares are expected to be distributed to users’ Gate Stocks accounts before the IPO begins trading, with the current estimated distribution date of July 30, 2026. The shares will be 100% unlocked with no lock-up period, allowing users to trade them through Gate Stocks once the company is officially listed.
The exact distribution and trading schedule will be subject to the final IPO timetable. If the platform ultimately does not receive any allocation, users who subscribe with USDT will receive an interest subsidy calculated at an annualized rate of 3.8% based on their locked subscription funds. Users subscribing with GUSD will continue to earn the standard 3.8% annualized yield throughout the subscription period.
Founded in 1956, Jersey Mike’s is one of North America’s leading submarine sandwich restaurant chains, operating more than 3,300 locations across the United States and Canada. In 2025, global alternative asset manager Blackstone acquired a majority stake in the company, which subsequently announced plans to pursue a U.S. public listing. The addition of Jersey Mike’s (JMKE) further expands Gate’s IPO Access offering, providing users with another opportunity to participate in high-profile global IPOs. Users are encouraged to conduct their own independent assessments based on publicly available information, market conditions, and their individual needs.
Gate has built a comprehensive global equities investment ecosystem, supporting trading for more than 12,500 stocks and ETFs across the U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean markets. The platform also offers fractional share trading, stock dividends, cross-broker stock transfers for U.S. and Hong Kong equities, as well as corporate action services such as stock splits and reverse splits. In addition, Gate continues to expand its multi-asset investment ecosystem through gStocks tokenized securities, Pre-IPOs, and IPO Access, creating a comprehensive investment framework that spans pre-IPO opportunities, public market investing, and tokenized securities. Looking ahead, Gate will continue to broaden access to premium global assets, strengthen its multi-asset trading infrastructure, and deliver a more open, efficient, and seamless global investment experience.

BloFin Wallet Unifies Visa Payments and Perpetual Trading for the Next Era of Finance
BloFin Wallet has reached a significant milestone in its evolution, introducing Perpetual Contract Trading and the BloFin Wallet Visa Card, two updates that push the wallet well beyond what most crypto wallets are built to do.
From Holding to Trading: Perpetual Contracts Now Live
BloFin Wallet users can now trade perpetual contracts directly from their wallet, with access to 100+ tokens spanning both cryptocurrency and tradfi assets. Instead of moving funds to a separate exchange, users can trade within the same wallet they already use for swaps, onramp, and earn.
The update also introduces a referral program tied to perpetual trading. Users can share their invite link and earn fee rebates based on their referrals’ trading activity, creating a direct connection between community growth and personal reward.
The Next Era of Finance
BloFin Wallet has also launched the BloFin Wallet Card, a Visa card that lets users spend their digital assets wherever Visa is accepted. The card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, carries zero issuance and annual fees, and imposes no lock-up period on funds. Users hold their assets until the moment of purchase.
The next phase of digital finance will not be defined by another standalone wallet, exchange, payment card, or yield product. It will be defined by how seamlessly these functions work together. Users increasingly expect to trade, hold, earn, and spend from a single financial environment, without repeatedly moving funds between platforms, waiting through settlement delays, or sacrificing control of their assets. BloFin Wallet is helping pioneer this all-in-one experience. Its ambition extends beyond asset storage: it is building a unified gateway where digital assets can move naturally between investment, trading, yield generation, and everyday spending. By reducing the friction between these activities, BloFin Wallet aims to make crypto capital as accessible and useful as money in a traditional account, while preserving the speed and flexibility of digital markets
The BloFin Wallet Card is a key part of that vision. Alongside the card, BloFin Wallet offers an Earn product with unlimited 6%+ APY, enabling users to put idle assets to work while keeping them accessible. Together, Card and Earn create a more efficient capital loop: assets can remain productive when not being spent, stay available when opportunities arise, and be used directly for real-world payments when needed. This reflects a broader shift in the market. Crypto users are moving beyond speculation alone and increasingly looking for practical financial utility. At the same time, fragmented experiences, one platform for trading, another for custody, another for yield, and another for payments, are becoming less acceptable. The platforms positioned to lead the next cycle will be those that combine deep liquidity, capital efficiency, payment access, and intuitive asset management within one connected experience.
BloFin Wallet’s long-term opportunity is to become a financial operating system for the digital-asset economy: one place where users can enter the market, manage risk, grow their assets, and use their wealth in everyday life. The future of finance will not ask users to choose between trading and spending, or between earning and accessibility. It will bring all of these experiences together, and make the transitions between them nearly invisible.
Trade Smarter, Hold Safer
Taken together, these updates say something about where BloFin Wallet is headed. Where most wallets stop at storage and swaps, BloFin Wallet now covers the full arc from on-chain trading to real-world spending, with earning opportunities built in throughout. The BloFin Wallet app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

XRP Price Fails to Complete Cup and Handle as Ripple Introduces Mint to Solve RLUSD Problem
XRP is caught between a compelling technical setup and stubborn overhead price resistance. That gap is testing bullish patience. The cup and handle pattern that traders have tracked for weeks now faces invalidation. XRP trades near $1.11, remaining well below the former $2.68 to $2.77 breakout zone discussed in earlier bullish scenarios.
Ripple has introduced a dedicated Mint function to streamline RLUSD issuance. The update targets minting delays and improves settlement predictability. It strengthens Ripple’s enterprise infrastructure and could make RLUSD more attractive to institutions. However, the direct benefit favors stablecoin adoption more than immediate spot XRP demand.

Regulatory clarity across Ripple’s product suite remains the bigger variable for XRP price. Even so, infrastructure upgrades could improve long-term confidence if institutional usage continues expanding. Until then, traders still need stronger demand to reclaim higher resistance levels.
Meanwhile, the macro backdrop remains challenging. Megacap technology stocks pressured major U.S. indexes as AI spending concerns resurfaced. Tariff headlines also encouraged a risk-off mood across financial markets. When equities weaken, altcoins rarely avoid the selling pressure.

Can XRP Price Reach $5 Before the Cup-and-Handle Breaks Down?
XRP is trading near $1.11, sitting just below a key resistance zone that many analysts continue to monitor. The measured move target around $5.18 still depends on a sustained breakout above previous swing highs. Meanwhile, the 50-day and 200-day EMAs remain below the current price, keeping the long-term trend constructive.
The breakout trigger remains straightforward. A daily close above nearby resistance with strong volume could open the door to a move toward the next resistance zone around $1.30 to $1.40. Until then, XRP may continue trading within its recent range, frustrating both bulls and bears.
On the downside, losing support around $1.08 to $1.10 could invite another test of lower levels. Some wave analysts still warn that a deeper correction is possible if momentum continues fading. However, those bearish projections remain conditional rather than confirmed.
Long-term targets such as $33 to $67 or even $60 are still circulating among well-known XRP analysts. Even so, those are multi-cycle projections rather than near-term expectations. For now, the bigger question is whether XRP can reclaim higher resistance and build enough momentum for a sustained breakout.

LiquidChain Targets Early Mover Upside as XRP Tests Key Levels
XRP’s cup-and-handle setup illustrates the core frustration of late-cycle positioning: even a technically clean pattern at a $70 billion market cap requires a significant capital event to move the needle. Traders rotating out of stalled large-caps are increasingly looking at early-stage infrastructure plays where the entry price still reflects discovery rather than expectation.
LiquidChain is one project drawing attention. The Layer 3 protocol fuses Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment. It boasts a Unified Liquidity Layer with Single-Step Execution and Verifiable Settlement, meaning developers deploy once and access all three ecosystems without bridging overhead.
The presale is currently priced at $0.01483, with $920K raised to date. The project is approaching the $1M milestone, which historically marks an inflection point in presale momentum.

Solana Tokenized-Equity Volume Is Up Roughly 2,400x Year-Over-Year
Tokenized equities volume on Solana jumped from $1.34 million to $3.32 billion over the past year. Solana commented on this development with “Internet Capital Markets.”
The figure marks a roughly 2,400-fold increase. It points to accelerating institutional interest in onchain capital markets.
Solana Equities Lead a Broader Tokenization Surge
The growth mirrors a wider shift across tokenized assets on the network. Monthly volume across commodities, credit, collectibles, and equities climbed from roughly $156 million in June 2025 to several billion dollars a year later. Solana’s official account shared the chart data on X.
Equities alone rose from $670 million in April to $3.3 billion in June, an all-time high for the category. That expansion follows a Securitize NYSE debut. Securitize listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in July and tokenized SpaceX-linked SECZ shares on the network.
The trend also builds on a new tokenization record set earlier this summer. SOL price, however, lagged behind the network’s onchain growth.
The token trades near $76, down more than 2% over the past day, according to BeInCrypto data. Tokenized stocks on the network totaled $4.9 billion in the first half of 2026. That figure marks a sixfold jump from $775 million in the back half of 2025.
Horsley Frames Solana Data as Validation
Horsley is co-founder and chief executive officer of Bitwise Asset Management. He framed the jump as evidence that traditional finance is migrating onchain.
The network reportedly processed more than 95% of global cross-chain tokenized stock volume in recent weeks. That figure comes from the report Horsley cited.
Grayscale analysts likewise named five altcoins benefiting from tokenization that could gain further if the momentum continues. Their thesis rests on the same trend Horsley described, namely that issuers keep choosing the network for onchain listings.
Institutional Interest Extends Beyond the US
The trend extends well beyond American markets. SBI Holdings recently struck a partnership with Solana Foundation to build onchain financial infrastructure for Japan. The deal targets yen-pegged stablecoins alongside tokenized assets.
Still, the broader picture carries a caveat. A recent industry report found that roughly half of the broader tokenization market shows no weekly trading activity at all. Headline volume figures, meanwhile, keep climbing.
Whether the pace continues may depend on how many more issuers choose to list shares onchain in the months ahead. That trend matters more than any single report or announcement.

Bears maintain control for ADA as mixed derivatives signal market uncertainty
Key takeaways
- Cardano (ADA) is trading below $0.168 after being rejected at the 50-day EMA.
- Derivatives data presents mixed signals, with the long-to-short ratio remaining bullish while funding rates have turned negative.
- Large Cardano whales have accumulated approximately 120 million ADA since Monday.
Cardano (ADA) extended its losses on Friday, trading below $0.168 after buyers failed to overcome resistance at the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) earlier in the week.
Although some large investors continue accumulating ADA, mixed derivatives data and subdued technical indicators suggest the market remains uncertain about the cryptocurrency’s next major move.
Derivatives data reflects divided trader sentiment
Cardano’s derivatives market is sending conflicting signals. According to CoinGlass data, ADA’s long-to-short ratio stood at 1.07 on Friday.
A reading above one indicates that more traders are positioning for price gains than declines, reflecting a modest bullish bias among leveraged traders.
However, other derivatives metrics tell a different story. Cardano’s perpetual futures funding rates flipped into negative territory on Thursday and remained at approximately -0.014 on Friday.
Negative funding rates indicate that short sellers are paying long-position holders, typically signaling increased bearish sentiment and expectations of further downside.
The contrast between bullish positioning and negative funding highlights growing uncertainty among traders.
On-chain data suggests larger investors have continued buying despite recent price weakness.
According to Santiment, wallets holding 1 million to 10 million ADA and 10 million to 100 million ADA have accumulated approximately 120 million ADA since Monday.
Meanwhile, wallets containing 100,000 to 1 million ADA have shown relatively little activity.
The selective accumulation by larger holders may indicate confidence in Cardano’s longer-term outlook, although the buying has not yet been strong enough to trigger a broader shift in market sentiment.
ADA remains below major moving averages
From a technical standpoint, Cardano continues to trade within a broader bearish structure.
ADA remains below the 50-day EMA ($0.176), the 100-day EMA ($0.202), and the 200-day EMA ($0.267)
The inability to reclaim these levels suggests sellers remain in control of the medium-term trend.
Technical momentum indicators point to a market lacking clear direction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near 48, reflecting balanced buying and selling pressure without a strong trend.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains slightly above the zero line, suggesting that although occasional recovery attempts continue, bullish momentum remains relatively weak.
Adding to the technical challenge, a previously broken long-term downtrend line near $0.197 has now become a significant resistance level.
For bullish momentum to strengthen, ADA must first overcome several nearby resistance levels, including $0.176 (50-day EMA) and $0.197 (former long-term trendline resistance).
A sustained move above these barriers would improve Cardano’s short-term outlook.
On the downside, traders are watching:
- $0.150 – Immediate horizontal support
- $0.138 – Key Fibonacci support
A break below $0.138 could expose ADA to fresh lows and reinforce the broader bearish trend.
Cardano continues to face selling pressure after failing to reclaim the 50-day EMA, while mixed derivatives signals reflect uncertainty among market participants.
For now, ADA’s ability to hold above $0.150 while reclaiming the $0.173-$0.176 resistance zone will likely determine whether the token can build a stronger recovery or extend its recent decline.

Nasdaq listed Zhibao plans 3,500 Bitcoin treasury through proposed PIPE
Zhibao Technology has signed a non-binding agreement that could bring about 3,500 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $220 million, onto its balance sheet through a proposed stock sale paid in BTC.
Summary
- Zhibao has signed a non binding agreement to receive about 3,500 Bitcoin through a proposed $220 million stock sale.
- The proposed deal would give the investor majority control of Zhibao’s board while establishing a Bitcoin treasury if completed.
- The announcement comes as public companies continue adopting different strategies to build or manage Bitcoin reserves.
According to a Wednesday press release from Nasdaq-listed Zhibao Technology, the Shanghai-based digital insurance company has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Joyertech and Information OPC for a proposed private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing that would be settled using approximately 3,500 Bitcoin instead of cash.
If completed, the buyer or its designated entity would subscribe to newly issued securities, with the Bitcoin amount remaining subject to final valuation, custodial arrangements, audit verification, regulatory review, Nasdaq compliance and the execution of definitive agreements.
The proposed transaction would do more than add Bitcoin to the company’s balance sheet. Under the term sheet, Joyertech is expected to nominate a majority of Zhibao’s board members when the financing closes, giving the investor effective control of the company while Zhibao continues operating its existing insurance business during the initial transition period.
A PIPE financing allows private investors to purchase newly issued shares directly from a publicly listed company instead of acquiring stock through public markets. In this case, the consideration would be Bitcoin rather than cash, allowing Zhibao to establish a sizeable Bitcoin treasury immediately if the transaction receives final approval.
The company, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ZBAO, describes itself as a digital insurance technology provider focused on China’s embedded insurance market. It launched what it describes as the country’s first digital insurance brokerage platform in 2020 using its own cloud-based platform-as-a-service infrastructure.
Bitcoin-funded treasury proposal reshapes ownership
While the insurance business would continue operating after the financing, company disclosures indicate the current management team is expected to oversee day-to-day operations only until a future separation, disposal or restructuring of the legacy business is completed.
The structure differs from the path followed by many public companies that first raise cash before purchasing Bitcoin in the open market. Instead, the proposed financing would transfer Bitcoin directly to the company as payment for newly issued shares, allowing the treasury to be established as part of the financing itself.
Investor reaction was immediate after the announcement. Zhibao shares climbed from about $0.15 to nearly $0.40 within four hours before giving back part of the gains and stabilizing near $0.24 later in the session. Even after the pullback, the stock remained roughly 60% above its pre-announcement level.
Only a week earlier, on July 15, Zhibao disclosed that it had received a Nasdaq deficiency notice after its share price traded below the exchange’s minimum $1 bid requirement. At the time, the stock was changing hands around $0.22. The company now has until Jan. 6, 2027, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards.
Treasury strategies continue to diversify
The proposal arrives as public companies continue experimenting with different ways to build Bitcoin reserves, although recent announcements show that no single treasury model has emerged.
Unlike companies that depend on repeated share offerings to fund Bitcoin purchases, some businesses are tying future accumulation to operating cash flow. Earlier this month, ORANGE JUICE announced it had raised $40 million to acquire profitable American businesses, with surplus cash from those operations expected to finance future Bitcoin purchases alongside additional acquisitions.
Other firms continue to rely on capital markets. Earlier this month, Japan’s Bitcoin Japan secured plans to raise approximately 9.66 billion yen, allocating about 662 million yen for its first funded Bitcoin treasury purchase after a previous fundraising effort failed to provide enough capital for digital asset acquisitions.
Capital B has taken another route by expanding its financing capacity before making additional purchases. In June, shareholders approved a framework authorizing up to €5 billion in capital increases and €100 billion in credit instruments to support future Bitcoin acquisitions as part of the French company’s long-term treasury strategy.
Not every treasury company is increasing its Bitcoin exposure, however. Earlier this month, Empery disclosed that it had sold 1,400 Bitcoin for about $87.1 million since May, using the proceeds to repay debt, finance acquisitions, cover legal expenses and strengthen liquidity while maintaining a smaller Bitcoin reserve.
More than 150 publicly traded companies now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, although recent developments have shown that treasury strategies increasingly depend on each company’s financing needs, operating model and balance sheet priorities rather than a single playbook.
For Zhibao, however, the proposed transaction remains far from complete. Company filings state that the agreement is non-binding and still depends on satisfactory legal, financial and operational due diligence, execution of definitive agreements, corporate and regulatory approvals, continued Nasdaq compliance and other customary closing conditions before any Bitcoin changes hands.
