Bitcoin Sees “Most Aggressive” Institutional Selling Ever, Analyst Says

Image
The founder of Capriole Investments has highlighted how Bitcoin is currently facing the most net selling pressure from institutions in history. Bitcoin Is Observing An Exit From Institutional Entities In a new post on X, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards has discussed the latest trend in the behavior of institutional entities on the Bitcoin network. To gauge institutional activity, Edwards has used the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and treasury companies as a proxy. Spot ETFs are investment vehicles that trade in traditional markets and allow for indirect exposure to BTC. Similarly, treasury companies hold BTC on their balance sheet, making their stock price tied to the cryptocurrency’s movements. Traditional institutional entities are typically wary of blockchain infrastructure, so they tend to take one of the regulated, indirect routes into the asset. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how the monthly rate-of-change (ROC) in the combined ETF...

XRP At Risk? Large Holders Stir The Market, Increasing Near-Term Turbulence

Image
The broader cryptocurrency market saw a sharp drop today, and the price of XRP took a big hit, falling to the $1.35 level. After a period of downside action, current on-chain activity is weakening, which is hinting at a continuation of the current bearish environment for the leading altcoin. A Spike In XRP Whale Transfers XRP’s price is facing heightened bearish pressure following a sharp market pullback on Monday, capping its upward attempts. In the meantime, the activity of large holders is once again drawing attention to the altcoin’s short-term price outlook.  According to a verified CryptoQuant author and analyst, Darkfost, these investors’ activity currently raises short-term risk for the altcoin as data shows a noticeable uptick in whale transactions and sizable wallet movements. Significant capital repositioning by major holders frequently precedes times of increased volatility, particularly in a market already dealing with brittle sentiment. Darkfost has mainly attri...

Solana Hit Hard: $27 Million Exploit Triggers Wave Of Shutdowns

Image
Operating within the Solana ecosystem, the platform had become a familiar tool for tracking DeFi activity before events took a sudden turn. Step Finance’s sudden shutdown is a sharp example of how a single security failure can end a project’s life faster than many thought possible. Reports say the team decided to stop all work after what it called an unrecoverable breach of treasury accounts. The move covers the main dashboard and several linked businesses, and token holders are left sorting out the fallout. Security Breach Shuts Down Services Based on reports, the treasury loss involved coins that had been unstaked and then moved off-platform. CertiK flagged that 261,854 SOL was taken during the incident, a sum worth roughly $27 million at the time. That kind of hit is not the same as a user-level contract exploit; this was a direct blow to the group’s cash and reserves. The team explored options, including outside funding and potential sales, but did not find a deal that would...

Solana Beggar Scores $442K From AI Agent Error – Details

Image
A man asking for just a few coins ended up hitting the jackpot. What started as a simple request for four Solana tokens turned into a massive payout when an experimental crypto agent transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of meme tokens to his wallet, giving the self-described beggar an unexpected windfall. Lobstar Wilde, an AI agent run by an OpenAI staffer, appears to have emptied a meme-token wallet in a single public move that stunned parts of crypto Twitter and on-chain watchers. Reports say the agent sent roughly $441,780 worth of tokens to an X user who only asked for four Solana coins to pay for an uncle’s medical treatment. The transfer, and the agent’s later flippant replies, raised questions about how much power a script should have over real money. Agent Sent Money By Mistake To Solana Beggar According to on-chain records and social posts , the Lobstar Wilde account publicly showed the transfer and then posted mocking messages about the recipient’s ...

Crypto Enters Extreme Fear Zone as Global Trade Tensions and Policy Shifts Weigh on Prices

Image
The market tumbled sharply on Monday, with BTC briefly slipping below $65,000, as traders reacted to a mix of U.S. trade policy shifts, geopolitical risks, and looming economic data. The sudden losses erased weekend gains and pushed the market deeper into extreme fear, currently at 5. Total crypto market capitalization fell roughly 3–5% within a day, sliding toward the $2.2 trillion mark. The downturn coincided with rising geopolitical risks and sweeping tariff measures announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, which unsettled broader financial markets and reduced appetite for risk assets. Trade Tensions and Macro Risks Drive Sell-Off Market volatility intensified after the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that parts of earlier tariff programs exceeded presidential authority. Shortly after, Trump introduced new global tariffs of up to 15% under separate trade powers, raising concerns about slower global growth and persistent inflation. Escalating tensions between the Unit...

Mapping The Bitcoin Bottom: Here’s How Low Price Could Go Before It Recovers

Image
Bitcoin (BTC) could be gearing up for further losses, as a crypto analyst has issued a severely foreboding forecast. According to his analysis, Bitcoin’s current structure shows a predominantly bearish trend , with price expected to reach a bottom below $30,000 before any potential reversal to the upside.  Bitcoin Repeats 2022 Style Bear Market Crypto market analyst Jussy has published a new Bitcoin chart analysis on X, warning that the market may not have reached its final bottom yet. The chart compares the current weekly structure to Bitcoin’s 2022 cycle , showing nearly identical price behaviour following a double top formation and a bear flag that led to a major breakdown. In 2022, Bitcoin first printed a double top near the upper resistance zone above $60,000. It was then rejected from the rounded top structure, reversing into a sustained downside trend. After this, the price experienced a sharp breakdown, followed by a three-week consolidation phase that developed into a...
