USD1 briefly fell to about $0.99707 on Monday morning, according to The Block’s data, a drop that typically would not be considered a stablecoin depeg.
Attackers hacked several WLFI cofounder accounts, paid influencers to spread FUD, and opened massive $WLFI shorts to profit from the manufactured chaos,” the Trump-backed company posted on X. “It didn’t work.”
World Liberty Financial, one of the Trump family’s major crypto initiatives, sent an alert on Monday morning warning of a "coordinated attack" against its USD1 stablecoin. The dollar-pegged token briefly fell to about $0.99707 on Monday morning, The Block's data shows.
Attackers hacked several WLFI cofounder accounts, paid influencers to spread FUD, and opened massive $WLFI shorts to profit from the manufactured chaos," the company posted on X. "It didn’t work. Thanks to USD1's sound mint-and-redeem mechanism and full 1:1 backing, we are trading steadily at par."
World Liberty co-founder Eric Trump deleted several WLFI posts on X prior to the coin's move lower, according to market observer Wu Blockchain.
The mechanism of the alleged attack is unclear at the time of writing. USD1 is backed by reserves held in custody by BitGo, including short-term U.S. Treasuries. The token is currently trading closer to its $1 peg.
Tiny stablecoin price deviations happen nearly constantly due to trading spreads, liquidity, exchange differences, and arbitrage lags. A 0.01%-0.03% price fluctuation is generally not considered to be a depeg, unless sustained for a significant period of time, according to most experts.
Earlier this year, WLTC Holdings LLC filed an application to establish a national trust bank to expand its USD1 operations. World Liberty is also involved in crypto lending.
The Trump-backed company drew controversy earlier this year over potential conflicts of interest after a United Arab Emirates-based entity used the USD1 stablecoin to facilitate a $2 billion investment in Binance. Additionally, an Abu Dhabi investment vehicle backed by UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange formerly led by Changpeng Zhao, who President Trump pardoned, also elevated the status of USD1 as a trading pair on its platform.

Solana Company’s Pacific Backbone initiative will initially involve developing a high-speed, low-latency network connecting Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Pantera, alongside Summer Capital, co-led the more than $500 million funding round that launched the Solana Company in September.
Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) is kicking off an infrastructure buildout in the Asia-Pacific region, a first step in directly supporting Solana staking and validator operations.
This so-called Pacific Backbone initiative will involve developing a high-speed, low-latency network initially starting with connections between Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong, according to an announcement on Monday.
The reality is, we see an opportunity to improve Solana staking and validation for users across Asia," said Cosmo Jiang, general partner at Pantera Capital Management, a major HSDT backer. "We believe this investment roadmap will be critical for anyone holding and building on Solana and we expect it to diversify our revenue."
Pantera, alongside Summer Capital, co-led the more than $500 million funding round that launched the Solana Company in September amid the so-called digital asset treasury investment trend that has since reversed. The firm was initially pitched as a SOL token holding vehicle that would also invest in other Solana operations.
In order to target mass adoption, Solana Company intends to build out DeFi, liquid staking, AMMs, RPC services, and execution services for its traditional finance partners in the APAC region," the firm noted. "Solana Company plans to begin building out the network infrastructure immediately, expanding to optimizing performance and adopting new technologies by the second half of 2026, and anticipates launching liquidity related new products and services within the next 12 to 18 months."
Earlier this month, the firm partnered with Anchorage Digital and Kamino on a joint venture to enable institutions to borrow against natively staked SOL while keeping assets in custody.
The Solana Company has held over 2.2 million SOL since it began acquiring tokens in October, making it the second-largest publicly traded holder, according to The Block's data. The total staked amount of Solana by public companies has largely held consistent despite a market retrenching that has seen Solana DAT valuations crater to all-time lows in recent days.
HSDT shares were down 8.3% Monday morning. Other crypto-related stocks are in the red on Monday, with bellwether crypto stock Coinbase down over 3% and major Ethereum treasury firm Bitmine down over 4%, according to The Block’s equities tracker. The biggest loser is small-cap Bitcoin treasury Prenetics, which is down over 7%.
HSDT is down over 90% since the firm first pivoted towards its Solana-related strategy in September. The firm, formerly Helius Medical Technologies, reportedly maintains its neurotech and medical device operations.

South Korea’s Hanwha Asset Management has partnered with the Jito Foundation to explore JitoSOL-based exchange-traded products in the country.
Hanwha Asset Management, one of the largest players in South Korea's financial market, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Jito Foundation to develop infrastructure for liquidity staking exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the country.
The agreement, announced Monday, focuses on technical and regulatory groundwork to enable regulated financial products tied to
, a liquid staking token on the Solana blockchai
JitoSOL is an innovative asset that simultaneously provides high returns and liquidity," said Choi Young-jin, vice president of Hanwha Asset Management, in a translated statement. "It will become an attractive alternative asset for retirement pension investors seeking to diversify their portfolios."
The partnership targets the technical integration of JitoSOL into ETP structures, validation of regulated custody solutions, establishment of risk management frameworks, and coordination with local authorities on compliance.
A key priority is incorporating JitoSOL's dual yield mechanism — combining standard staking rewards with maximal extractable value (MEV) rewards — into products suitable for the South Korean market.
The move mirrors recent global developments. Last month, 21Shares launched the Jito Staked SOL ETP (JSOL) on Euronext. In the U.S., VanEck filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC in August last year for a JitoSOL ETF, which remains pending.
As of mid-2025, Hanwha Asset Management had roughly 6.4 trillion won ($4.44 billion) in assets under management. This partnership marks another major financial player positioning for South Korea's legislative push to establish and promote digital asset products and services.
South Korea's Digital Asset Basic Act, currently under development, is expected to establish clearer regulatory frameworks for digital assets, including regulations that would allow domestic institutions to launch crypto ETPs.
However, disputes over stablecoin issuer eligibility have stalled the Digital Asset Basic Act beyond its original 2025 deadline. Regulators are pushing for bank-exclusive licensing, a move industry participants claim would stifle innovation.
Still, major institutions in the country have begun preparing for the legislation by building out the technical and institutional infrastructure for digital asset products.

Bitdeer CEO Jihan Wu said the company’s 0 BTC balance is not permanent as the firm prioritizes liquidity for land acquisitions.
The company reported zero bitcoin holdings on Saturday after selling its final 943.1 BTC in a single week, emptying reserves that stood at roughly 2,000 BTC at year-end.
Bitdeer
BBTDR0%
CEO Jihan Wu said the company's zero-bitcoin balance is not permanent after the miner announced it had sold its remaining BTC treasury over the weeken
In an X post, Wu stated that the miner’s decision “does not mean it will always be zero in the future.”
The move was confirmed in a weekly production update posted to X on Saturday. In the week ending Feb. 20, the company sold 943.1 BTC from reserves and 189.8 BTC it had mined during the period. The drawdown accelerated through February, with holdings falling from about 1,530 BTC at the end of January to 943.1 BTC by Feb. 13, before the remaining balance was liquidated, The Block reported.
In a statement on Monday, Bitdeer said the sales should "not be a concern for the broader market." The company cited plans to prepare liquidity for "multiple non-binding powered land acquisition opportunities" while noting that its hashrate "will continue to grow" alongside ongoing bitcoin mining.
The disclosure follows Bitdeer’s announcement on Feb. 19 that it plans to raise $300 million through a private placement of convertible senior notes due 2032, with an option for initial purchasers to buy an additional $45 million. The company also disclosed a $43.5 million registered direct equity offering tied to repurchases of its 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2029. Bitdeer said proceeds are intended to fund datacenter expansion and advance its pivot toward high-performance computing and AI infrastructure.
The selloff comes as mining economics have tightened. Bitcoin network difficulty jumped 14.7% in the latest adjustment, and hashprice has fallen below $30 per PH/s/day, according to The Block's data dashboard. Bitdeer's gross margin slipped to 4.7% in the fourth quarter from 7.4% a year earlier, even as revenue rose 226% to $224.8 million and the company reported net income of $70.5 million compared with a $531.9 million loss in the prior-year period.
Bitdeer’s zero-BTC position sets it apart from publicly traded peers, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. MARA Holdings holds roughly 53,250 BTC, while Riot Platforms reports about 18,000 BTC. Strategy, the largest corporate holder, has accumulated more than 717,000 BTC.
Bitcoin was trading near $64,700 late Sunday, down more than 4% from $67,600 earlier in the day, according to The Block's prices page. The decline followed a series of macroeconomic headlines that triggered roughly $360 million in long-position liquidations across crypto markets before bitcoin staged a modest rebound above $65,000 early Monday morning.

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: No recovery in sight
A hawkish Fed, alongside rising US-Iran geopolitical tensions, adds pressure on BTC.
US-spot ETFs record an outflow of $403.90 million through Thursday, pointing to the fifth consecutive week of withdrawals.
Institutional outflows persist this week. According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded an outflow of $403.90 million through Thursday. If this trend continues through Friday, it will be the fifth straight week of outflows. A similar trend was seen from mid-February to mid-March, where BTC crashed from $100,000 to roughly $80,000. If this trend continues, BTC could see further correction in the upcoming weeks.
Bitcoin (BTC) price continues to trade within a range-bound zone, hovering around $67,000 at the time of writing on Friday, and falling slightly so far this week, with no signs of recovery. The ongoing price action heightens the risk of a breakdown as institutional demand continues to weaken, pointing to a fifth consecutive week of withdrawals from spot BTC Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). In addition, hawkish Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes, alongside rising geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, are further pressuring the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) January meeting showed on Wednesday that policymakers were deeply divided over the necessity and timing of further rate cuts amid concerns about inflation.
However, on the corporate front, Michael Saylor announced on X on Tuesday that Strategy (MSTR) purchased 2,486 BTC, following the purchase of 1,142 BTC in the previous week. Tuesday’s purchase brings the firm’s total holdings to 717,131 BTC, highlighting the firm’s continued aggressive accumulation strategy and long-term conviction in Bitcoin, despite ongoing market weakness, with an average purchase price of $76,027
The cautiously balanced stance, rather than dovish, continues to support the US Dollar (USD), with the US Dollar Index (DXY) trading near two-week high around 98.00 as of Friday. The less dovish FOMC Minutes dampened risk appetite, pressuring risky assets, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping toward the lower consolidating support at $65,700 before rebounding slightly on Friday.
In fact, several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials indicated that more rate cuts could be warranted if inflation declines as expected, while others cautioned that easing too early could compromise the central bank’s 2% inflation target.
Apart from a hawkish tilt by the US central bank, the US military is ready for possible strikes on Iran as soon as Saturday, CBS reported on Wednesday.
Geopolitical tensions put the lid on BTC
K33 Research’s report this week noted that sentiment remains highly defensive in the perpetual market. The chart below shows that the funding rate averaged -0.64% over the last seven days, marking the eleventh consecutive day of negative weekly funding rates. These negative levels mirror the duration of the negative funding rate cycle between April 28 and May 8 in 2025.
As funding remained muted, notional Open Interest (OI) continued to fall, dropping below 260,000 BTC for the first time since October 12 on Tuesday. These developments in the perpetual market signal that longs were steadily exiting during BTC’s slow consolidation, suggesting a low near-term risk of derivatives-driven squeezes.
Bitcoin Perpetuals: Funding Rates vs BTC Price (left) chart Bitcoin Perpetuals: Open Interest (right) chart
The analyst concluded that, “While sell pressure appears to be moderating, participation and capital flows remain weak, leverage is still being reduced, and risk may be underpriced in options markets. A durable recovery still depends on renewed spot demand capable of sustaining price beyond the recent rebound zone.”
The Bitcoin accumulation trend score (7-day Moving Average) chart below shows that during the first down leg in November 2025, the market absorbed heavy selling pressure aggressively, similar to the post-LUNA & FTX crash responses in May and November 2022, respectively.
Weaker accumulation seen at $60,000
However, in the second leg, the recent drop to $60,000 on February 6 saw accumulation weaker than the strong, aggressive dip-buying that followed the LUNA crash. This indicates that current buying interest lacks the urgency and intensity seen during past major capitulation events, which could reinforce the current defensive, range-bound market structure.

Reuters Breakingviews reported on Friday that growing concerns about Tether’s financial risk profile persist despite its continued dominance in the stablecoin market. While USDT has grown and remains highly profitable, the company still does not publish full, independent audits of its reserves, as it is based in El Salvador, which is hardly known for its tough financial regulation.
The report noted that Tether’s equity cushion is shrinking. It declined from $7.1 billion to around $6.3 billion between the end of 2024 and the end of 2025, even as the volume of USDT outstanding surged. As a percentage ofassets, equity was 3.3% on December 31 last year, down from 4.9% a year earlier and 5.6% at the end of 2023.
In other words, if Tether’s assets lose more than 3.3% of their value, it would no longer have sufficient reserves to redeem all the tokens at their dollar peg,” says Liam Proud.
At the same time, reserves are becoming riskier. Cash-like reserves, including repurchase agreements, bank deposits and US Treasury bills, were 76% of total assets in December 2025, compared with a recent historical range of around 80% to 85%.
The flipside is that riskier investments like Bitcoin, Gold and secured loans now make up 24% of the total, compared with around 15% to 20% previously. A simultaneous drop in Bitcoin and Gold, or losses on its $17 billion loan book, could pressure its capital buffer.
Although USDT remains stable and shows no immediate signs of strain, the report warns that any loss of confidence could have far-reaching consequences. As a core liquidity pillar of the crypto ecosystem, a disruption in USDT could destabilize trading markets. Even possible to imagine major exchanges like Binance helping to rescue it in a crisis, effectively making it too big to fail.
The report concluded that Tether remains resilient, but its growing size and thinner safety margin increase systemic risk if market conditions deteriorate.
Bitcoin weekly chart shows price action resembling that of the late-2021-2022 bear market. In 2021, BTC hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $69,000 in November and corrected 77.57% from the high to the 2022 bottom of around $15,476 in November 2022 in 378 days. Then consolidated for the next 112 days, before the start of another bull cycle in 2023.
In the 2025-2026 period, BTC reached a new ATH at $126,199 in October 2025 and has since corrected by 47% through the third week of February, as of writing on Friday, slipping below the 200-week Exponential Moving Average at $68,065.
If the current regime follows the 2021-2022 pattern, BTC could see further correction, reaching a low of $28,300 (77.51% from the 2025 ATH) on October 19, 2026. Then consolidate for the next 112 days before the start of another bull cycle (similarly seen in 2023 as discussed above).
On the daily chart, the Crypto King has been consolidating within a range between $65,729 and $71,746 since February 7. BTC started the week on a negative note, declined in the first half, and rebounded slightly on Thursday after retesting the lower consolidation boundary at $65,729. As of writing on Friday, BTC is trading at $67,200.
If BTC closes below the lower consolidation level at $65,729 on a daily basis, it could extend the decline toward the key support level at $60,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 36, below the neutral level of 50, suggesting bearish momentum. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on Sunday, which remains in place, suggesting that upside bias has not been invalidated yet.
If BTC continues to find support around the lower consolidation range at $65,729, it could extend the advance toward the upper consolidation range at $71,746.

Bitcoin fell below $65,000 on Sunday night as a mix of macroeconomic headlines hit already weak market confidence in risk assets.
Nearly $360 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in an hour, according to Coinglass’ heatmap based on available data.
Bitcoin
BTC-3.33%
, ether, and other major cryptocurrencies experienced a significant dip on Sunday evening, triggering hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidations within a single hou
At around 7:20 p.m. ET, bitcoin commenced a sharp decline from $67,600 to current levels near $64,700, dropping over 4% in less than two hours, according to The Block's price page.
Other major cryptocurrencies mirrored bitcoin's decline — ether dropped 5.77% in the past 24 hours to $1,861, XRP fell 6.42% to $1.33, and Solana saw a steep 8.3% decline to $77.6.
The decline worsened as several hundred million dollars in long positions were liquidated. According to Coinglass's heatmap based on available data, close to $360 million in long positions were liquidated in the past hour, leading up to 8:57 p.m.
This is a confluence of macro shocks hitting a market that was already fragile," said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets. "Geopolitical chaos out of Mexico is rattling risk appetite globally, and the worst pending home sales reading ever recorded in the U.S. has compounded the nervousness."
Mexican security forces have killed Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera, leader of one of the largest cartels. His death sparked eruptions of mass violence across the nation, prompting international airlines to suspend flights to Mexico.

These events came as President Donald Trump announced he would raise the blanket 10% tariff on all U.S. imports to 15%, a move he had originally announced after the Supreme Court ruled that his emergency tariffs were unlawful.
The added layer of uncertainty from Trump's latest announcement has led Wall Street futures and the dollar to slide, Reuters reported.
Bitcoin was already carrying five consecutive weeks of ETF outflows and spot volumes down 59% week on week, so the liquidity conditions to absorb a shock like this simply were not there," Lucas said. "This is not a bitcoin-specific story. It is a risk-off story that bitcoin is absorbing first.
Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu also mentioned the Japanese yen's sharp surge on the back of speculation that the Bank of Japan is preparing for a policy shift toward further monetary tightening. The surge forced funds to deleverage, worsening the sell-off in risk assets globally.
Watch $60K for support — On the upside, reclaiming $65–66K could stabilize BTC, with $70K signaling a rebound but highly dependent on macro flows," Liu said. "Relief could come from renewed ETF inflows, clearer regulatory signals, or Thursday’s initial jobless claims, which may provide insights or at minimum, a relief bounce."
BTC Markets' Lucas said the underlying picture for the crypto market is not "uniformly bearish," mentioning that whales added 200,000 BTC over the past month. The analyst also cited bitcoin's short-term Sharpe ratio recently hitting -38.38, a level seen during cycle lows in 2015, 2019, and 2022 before a significant recovery.
On the catalyst side, the CLARITY Act moving through the Senate would provide the regulatory certainty the market needs to draw institutional capital back in," Lucas said. "The setup is there. The timing depends heavily on how quickly macro uncertainty resolves."

Missouri has advanced its state bitcoin reserve bill to the House Commerce Committee after similar efforts failed last year.
HB 2080 seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund and allow the state treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin.
Missouri has advanced its legislation to create a state bitcoin
BTC-4.80%
reserve to the State House Commerce Committee, after similar efforts failed to materialize last yea
House Bill 2080, introduced by Republican Representative Ben Keathley, seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund within the state treasury and authorize the Missouri State Treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin under certain conditions.
Specifically, the bill would allow the Treasurer to accept gifts, grants, or donations of bitcoin from eligible Missouri residents or governmental entities and to custody those holdings for at least five years before any sale, transfer, or conversion, according to the bill summary.
The bill would also empower the Treasurer to purchase cryptocurrency using state funds and permit Missouri's government entities to accept approved digital assets for taxes, fees, and other payments. It would also require the Treasurer to prepare a biennial public report detailing fund activity.
The proposed legislation received its first and second readings in January 2026 and was referred to the House Commerce Committee on Feb. 19.
The bill represents Keathley's second attempt at establishing Missouri's bitcoin treasury. His earlier measure, HB 1217, introduced in February 2025, similarly sought to establish a dedicated bitcoin reserve fund with the Treasurer as custodian. That bill received a hearing in the House Special Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs in March 2025 but did not advance, ultimately dying in committee before the session ended.
By advancing a similar bill into a new committee, Missouri lawmakers are again pursuing a state-level bitcoin treasury concept that has gained traction in U.S. policy debates over the past year. The U.S. federal government itself created a national strategic bitcoin reserve in 2025 following President Donald Trump's March executive order.
Multiple other U.S. states are exploring the idea of bitcoin reserves. Lawmakers in Kansas and Florida have advanced similar proposals in the legislature, while Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire have passed their crypto reserve legislation.

Bitdeer reported zero bitcoin holdings as of Feb. 20, completing an eight-week drawdown from roughly 2,000 BTC at year-end.
The company sold its entire remaining reserve of 943.1 BTC in a single week, on top of the 189.8 BTC it mined during the period.
The liquidation makes Bitdeer the largest publicly traded bitcoin miner by self-mining hashrate to hold no BTC on its balance sheet.
Bitdeer Technologies has fully emptied its corporate bitcoin treasury, reporting zero BTC held as of Feb. 20, according to a weekly production update the company posted on X on Saturday.
The miner, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker BTDR, disclosed that it produced 189.8 BTC during the week and sold the same amount, while also liquidating its remaining 943.1 BTC in reserves. The figures exclude customer deposits.
The disclosure caps a steady drawdown that accelerated in recent weeks. Bitdeer held roughly 2,000 BTC at year-end and about 1,530 BTC at the end of January before dropping to 943.1 BTC by Feb. 13. In the Feb. 13 update, the company had mined 183.4 BTC and sold 179.9 BTC, largely keeping pace with production. The final week's selloff, which wiped out the entire remaining balance, marked a clear escalation.
The liquidation came days after Bitdeer announced a $325 million convertible notes offering and a $43.5 million equity placement, both aimed at funding data center expansion and its AI pivot.
Bitdeer's zero-BTC position puts it at odds with most publicly traded mining peers, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. MARA Holdings maintains a treasury of roughly 53,250 BTC. Riot Platforms holds around 18,000 BTC. Strategy, the largest corporate holder, has amassed over 717,000 BTC. Even among miners that have been net sellers, fully draining reserves is unusual.
The move comes as mining economics have tightened sharply. Bitcoin network difficulty jumped 14.7% in the latest adjustment, and hashprice has fallen below $30 per PH/s/day. Bitdeer's own gross margin slipped to 4.7% in Q4 from 7.4% a year earlier.
The company has not said whether the zero-BTC position represents a permanent change in treasury strategy or a temporary cash need tied to its ongoing capital raises. Bitdeer is also facing a securities class-action lawsuit in the Southern District of New York over alleged misrepresentations about its SEAL04 chip timeline.
Bitdeer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

XRP holds $1.40 support amid ETF inflows, weak derivatives market
institutional investor interest.
A weak derivatives market, with futures Open Interest dropping to $2.32 billion, may restrict XRP’s ability to sustain recovery
XRP attracts $4 million in spot ETF inflows on Thursday, signaling renewed institutional investor interest.
The remittance token’s short-term bullish outlook mirrors subtle intraday gains characterising major crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Ripple (XRP) is trading above a critical support at $1.40 at the time of writing on Friday, signaling stability ahead of a potential breakout toward the weekly open of $1.48.
XRP maintains stability as ETF inflows return
XRP spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) attracted $4 million in inflows on Thursday, outpacing both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs, which saw outflows of $166 million and $130 million, respectively.
The cumulative ETF inflows stand at $1.23 billion, and total assets under management have risen above $1 billion. Despite the mild increase on Thursday, overall sentiment remains shaky, considering net assets have declined from the record $1.65 billion seen in early January.
The XRP derivatives market paints a grimmer picture, with futures Open Interest (OI) falling to $2.32 billion on Friday from $2.45 billion the previous day. For context, retail interest peaked at an annual high of $4.55 billion on January 6, which was significantly below the OI record high of $10.94 billion reached in July.
Notably increased demand from retail traders indicates that investors are confident in XRP’s outlook and its ability to sustain an uptrend. Hence, traders should temper their expectations as futures OI continues to wane.Notably increased demand from retail traders indicates that investors are confident in XRP’s outlook and its ability to sustain an uptrend. Hence, traders should temper their expectations as futures OI continues to wane.
Technical outlook: XRP holds key support, eyes on a potential breakout
XRP remains above support at $1.40 despite its upside appearing limited by the downward-sloping 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1.69, the 100-day EMA at $1.90 and the 200-day EMA at $2.12.
The SuperTrend indicator on the daily chart holds above XRP, seemingly capping potential rebounds at $1.72. This indicator integrates the Average True Range (ATR) to gauge market volatility and highlight the overall trend.
Until the price rises above the SuperTrend and its colour turns green, the path of least resistance could remain adamantly downward. Subsequently, a daily close below the immediate $1.40 support may accelerate XRP downward toward the October 10 low at $1.25. The February 6 low sits slightly below at $1.12.
Still, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains above the signal line. At the same time, the green histogram bars expand, hinting at potential stability ahead of a breakout toward the weekly open at $1.48. Other key levels of interest to traders include Sunday’s high at $1.67 and the 50-day EMA at $1.69, which, if reclaimed, could mark a possibly bullish shift.

The project's creator nearly deleted the viral AI agent after crypto scammers hijacked his accounts, launched a fake token that hit $16 million, and harassed him for weeks.
A user who recently mentioned bitcoin in passing — in the context of using block height as a clock for a multi-agent benchmark, not promoting a token — was blocked immediately.
The rule comes after what happened in late January, when crypto nearly destroyed the project from the inside.
Steinberger was clear about the ban in a follow-up reply to the X post.
The trouble started after AI powerhouse Anthropic sent Steinberger a trademark notice over the project's original name, Clawdbot, which the AI company argued was too close to Anthropic's own "Claude." Steinberger agreed to rebrand.
But in the brief seconds between releasing his old GitHub and X handles and securing the new ones, scammers seized both accounts and began promoting a fake token called $CLAWD on Solana.
That token hit $16 million in market capitalization within hours. When Steinberger publicly denied any involvement, it crashed over 90%, wiping out late buyers. Early snipers walked away with profits, and Steinberger was left fielding harassment from traders who blamed him for not endorsing the token.
To all crypto folks: please stop pinging me, stop harassing me," he wrote on X at the time. "I will never do a coin. Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM."
Security researchers at blockchain firm SlowMist and independent auditors found hundreds of OpenClaw instances exposed to the public internet with no authentication, partly because the tool's localhost trust model breaks when run behind a reverse proxy.
Separately, a researcher found 386 malicious "skills" — add-on scripts for OpenClaw agents — published on the project's skill repository, many targeting crypto traders specifically.
Steinberger has since joined OpenAI to lead its personal agents division, with OpenClaw moving to an independent open-source foundation. The project is thriving.
But the crypto ban on Discord stays, leaving a scar from a weeks-long episode that showed how fast speculative token culture can engulf a legitimate software project and nearly bury it.

Past capitulation waves have preceded sharp recoveries, but this time price is still fighting technical resistance even as ledger activity surges.
Realized losses measure actual losses, not paper drawdowns. They spike when holders capitulate, choosing to lock in losses rather than wait for a rebound. Unlike unrealized losses, which can vanish if price recovers, realized losses represent final decisions.
For realized losses to surge into the billions, there must be aggressive selling pressure, but there must also be buyers willing to take the other side. Large capitulation events often coincide with liquidity stepping in at lower levels. Historically, these moments tend to cluster near market bottoms because much of the weaker positioning gets cleared out in one move.
That absorption piece matters.
However, context is key. The 2022 spike came after a prolonged drawdown and broader crypto deleveraging. Today’s environment includes macro uncertainty, shifting regulatory narratives and still-elevated volatility across majors. A realized loss spike increases the probability that sellers are exhausted, but it does not eliminate macro headwinds.
When weak hands are flushed, the composition of holders shifts. The coins that change hands during capitulation typically move from short-term, emotionally driven traders to longer-term buyers with stronger conviction or better cost bases. That redistribution can create a more stable foundation for price.
Another variable to watch is follow-through. In prior cycles, sustained recoveries required not just a single capitulation print but stabilization in spot demand and declining sell pressure in the weeks that followed. If realized losses remain elevated or quickly re-accelerate, that would suggest distribution is not finished.
For now, the data points to emotional extremes. Historically, that has been fertile ground for rebounds. Whether it becomes a durable trend shift depends on what happens after the panic subsides.

US President Donald Trump has said he will impose global tariffs of 15%, as he has continued to rail against a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous import taxes.
Trump said on Friday that he would replace the tariffs scrapped by the court with a 10% levy on all goods coming into the US.
But on Saturday, he announced on Truth Social that this would be increased to the maximum allowed under a never-used trade law.
That law allows these new tariffs to stay in place for around five months before the administration must seek congressional approval.
The 10% tariffs were set to come into force on Tuesday, 24 February. It's unclear if the increased 15% would also be imposed starting then. The BBC has contacted the White House.
The new 15% tax rate - a temporary solution under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act - raises questions for countries such as the UK and Australia, which had agreed a 10% tariff deal with the US.
Trump said his administration had reached the decision to raise the levy following a review of the Supreme Court's "ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday".
In a 6-3 decision, justices on the highest US court found that the president had overstepped his powers when he introduced sweeping global tariffs last year using a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The US has already collected at least $130bn (£96.4bn) in tariffs using IEEPA, according to the most recent government data.
Immediately following the ruling, Trump said that he was "ashamed of certain members of the court" and called the justices who rejected his trade policy "fools".
Trump's tariffs are a key plank of his economic policy, which he has said will encourage businesses to invest and produce goods in the US rather than overseas. But the high court's decision marked a significant check on his power and a major blow to his second-term agenda.
The US president has argued his tariffs are necessary to reduce the trade deficit - the amount by which imports exceed exports - but the US trade deficit reached a fresh high this week, widening by 2.1% compared to 2024 and hitting roughly $1.2 trillion (£890bn).
Drew Greenblatt, owner of Marlin Steel Wire Products, a steel fabrication plant in Baltimore, said he was "very disappointed" by the Supreme Court's decision.
It is a setback for poor people in America that had a chance to climb into the middle class with great manufacturing jobs," he told the BBC.
But John Boyd, a soybean farmer from Virginia and founder of the National Black Farmers Association, said: "This is a huge win for me and a big loss for the president.
"I don't care how you look at it, President Trump lost on this."
Yet Allie Renison, a former UK government trade adviser and director at SEC Newgate, said: "While it may seem like a good day for free trade, I think trade actually just got a lot messier."
She said that businesses are now facing "much more of a patchwork approach" to tariffs under the Trump administration.
It means that US businesses will have to pay a 15% tariff to import most goods into America under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
But some products will be exempted such as critical minerals, metals and pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, separate tariffs on steel, aluminium, lumber and automotive parts and sectors - introduced using a different US law - remain in place, untouched by the Supreme Court's ruling.
On Friday, a White House official said countries that previously reached trade deals with the US, including the UK, would face the global tariff under Section 122 rather than the tariff rate they had previously negotiated.
However, the UK's deals around steel, aluminium, pharmaceuticals, autos, and aerospace sectors - which represent most of its trade with the US - were not impacted.
The UK government said it expects Britain's "privileged trading position with the US" to continue and that it is a "matter for the US to determine" whether those deals still stand.
William Bain, head of trade policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, has said he feared that the president's response to the Supreme Court ruling "could be worse for British businesses".
The new 15% import tariffs are "bad for trade, bad for US consumers and businesses" and will "weaken global economic growth", the leader of a UK business group said.
The chairman of the European Parliament International Trade Committee told BBC Newshour he would call for a pause in ratifying a trade deal between the EU and US after Trump's announcement.
The committee was due to vote on the deal on Tuesday, but German Social Democrat MEP Bernd Lange said fresh tariffs raised "several issues" that needed clarifying.
The Supreme Court ruling opened the door for consumers and businesses to seek refunds from the unlawful tariffs, though the high court did not make a decision on whether reimbursements should be issued.
On Friday, Trump indicated that refunds would not come without a legal battle which, he claimed, could take years. Companies and trade groups have already vowed to seek such reimbursements.
But Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the US Chamber of Commerce, said: "Swift refunds of the impermissible tariffs will be meaningful for the more than 200,000 small business importers in this country and will help support stronger economic growth this year."
While the National Retail Federation, which represents millions of American businesses, urged the courts "to ensure a seamless process to refund the tariffs to US importers".
US Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat representing Washington state, has written a letter to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, asking whether the administration has a plan to refund businesses.
Given this Administration has illegally collected hundreds of billions of dollars from American businesses, that now must be refunded, I am requesting detailed information about how the Administration plans to fairly and expeditiously reimburse the payors of those tariffs," she wrote in a letter to Bessent.
But Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, argued that if Democrats push for refunds, it could backfire and help Republicans in the next election cycle.
He said it could be a boon for the US business community that would make the economy "roar" ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Arab and Muslim governments have condemned remarks made by the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who suggested Israel would be justified in taking over a vast stretch of the Middle East on Biblical grounds.
In an interview with conservative US commentator Tucker Carlson, Huckabee was asked whether Israel had a right to an area which the host said was, according to the Bible, "essentially the entire Middle East".
The ambassador said "it would be fine if it took it all". But he added Israel was not seeking to do so, rather it is "asking to at least take the land that they now occupy" and protect its people.
In a joint statement, more than a dozen governments including Jordan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates called the comments "dangerous and inflammatory", and a threat to efforts to end the war in Gaza.
In the interview, released on Friday, Carlson pressed the ambassador on his interpretation of a Bible verse which the host claimed suggested Israel had a right to the land between the River Nile in Egypt and the Euphrates in Syria and Iraq.
Huckabee said "it would be a big piece of land" but stressed that "I don't think that's what we're talking about here today".
He later added: "They're not asking to go back to take all of that, but they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately, and it is a safe haven for them."
He also said his earlier remark that Israel could take it "all" had been somewhat "hyperbolic".
Following the interview's release, the UAE's foreign ministry released the statement on behalf of various governments and other actors expressing "strong condemnation and profound concern" regarding the comments.
The statement said Huckabee had "indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank".
It said the remarks violated international law and directly contradicted US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, including efforts to create "a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state".
The statement continued: "The ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the Occupied Palestinian Territory or any other occupied Arab lands.
They reiterated their firm rejection of any attempts to annex the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip, their strong opposition to the expansion of settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and their categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states."
The statement said it was signed by the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria and the State of Palestine, as well as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Huckabee has frequently expressed his support for Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank, contradicting decades of US policy.
Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians want, along with Gaza, for a hoped-for future state - during the 1967 Middle East war. An estimated 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
The settlements are illegal under international law - a position supported by an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice in 2024.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the time that the court had made a "decision of lies" and insisted that "the Jewish people are not occupiers in their own land".
Successive Israeli governments have allowed settlements to grow. However, expansion has risen sharply since Netanyahu returned to power in late 2022 at the head of a right-wing, pro-settler coalition, as well as the start of the Gaza war, triggered by Hamas's deadly 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.
More than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's subsequent military offensive, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.

Celebrations in Canada over the decision by the US Supreme Court to strike down President Donald Trump's global tariffs were both brief and muted.
The high court's decision, which included the "fentanyl" tariffs Trump imposed on Canada, China and Mexico, reinforced Canada's position that the levies were "unjustified", US-Canada Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said on X.
But LeBlanc noted the challenges ahead in Ottawa. There is the "critical work" to do in dealing with impacts from levies on steel, aluminium and automobiles, which Trump said will remain.
There is also the upcoming review of the Canada-US-Mexico trade deal, the USMCA, which covers a market of more than 500 million people.
The actual impact of the Supreme Court decision on Canadian tariffs is limited.
Last year, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, with Canada facing 25%, later raised to 35%, with the president arguing both countries must do more to stop migrants and the illegal drug fentanyl reaching the US.
But the vast majority of trade, some 85%, under these "fentanyl" tariffs were already levy-free under a USMCA exemption.
LeBlanc's office declined to comment on Trump's proclamation imposing a 10% global tariff to replace the duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, which the Supreme Court struck down.
The White House clarified the USMCA exemption will continue under the new 10% tariff.
On Saturday, Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he would be raising the new 10% tariff to 15%.
Beyond the remaining US tariffs on sectors like steel and automobiles, the biggest issue for Canada on its US trade agenda is the USMCA review. This summer, all three partners must decide whether to extend the deal, which was negotiated during Trump's first term.
A North American free trade deal has been in place in some form since the early 1990s, and has led to deeply integrated economies.
In Mexico this week, LeBlanc told reporters that both countries "remain absolutely committed to a trilateral trade agreement".
The Trump administration has been less enthusiastic about saying they want the USMCA renewed, and officials have suggested Washington would prefer separate bilateral deals with Canada and Mexico.
He also said he will meet US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in the coming weeks to discuss the review talks, which are expected to kick into high gear ahead of a 1 July deadline.
It would be the first sign of formal trade discussions between the US and Canada after talks were halted last October by Trump, who was upset over an anti-tariffs advert sponsored by Canada's province of Ontario that aired on US networks - including during the World Series.
Greer, in an interview on Fox Business earlier this week, said it has been "more challenging" negotiating with Canada than with Mexico.
"They continue to have certain barriers. They refuse to sell US wine and spirits on their shelves.," he said. "There are a variety of issues that they have not addressed and they aren't addressing, and this makes it a big challenge and an obstacle for starting real negotiations with them."
Greer has previously named rules on dairy imports and a Canadian law called the Online Streaming Act, which requires American media companies like Netflix and Spotify to pay to support Canadian content, as other trade irritants.
As the rocky negotiations continue, Canada has sought to build trade ties outside the US, which currently buys about 75% of its exports, with a goal of doubling non-US exports by 2035.
Many Canadian business groups on Friday said that uncertainty remains.
Dennis Darby, CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, said businesses are ultimately looking for a successful renewal of the USCMA that "puts an end to recurring trade disruptions".
Predictable, rules-based trade is essential for manufacturers on both sides of the border," he said.

The system would use zero-knowledge proofs and secure environments (MPC/TEEs) to protect voter identity and sensitive data while preventing coercion and bribery.
Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin proposed a technical overhaul of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), calling for the use of personal artificial intelligence agents to privately cast votes on behalf of users and help scale digital governance.
The plan, published on social media platform X one month after Buterin criticized DAOs for drifting into low participation and power centralization, aims to shift users away from delegating votes to large token holders.
Instead, individuals would deploy their own AI model, trained on their past messages and stated values, to vote on the thousands of decisions DAOs face.
There are many thousands of decisions to make, involving many domains of expertise, and most people don't have the time or skill to be experts in even one, let alone all of them.” Buterin wrote. “So what can we do? We use personal LLMs to solve the attention problem.”
First is privacy of content, ensuring sensitive data remains confidential. AI agents would operate within secure environments such as multi-party computation (MPC) or trusted execution environments (TEEs), enabling them to process private data without leaking it to the public blockchain.
Second is the anonymity of the participant. Buterin called for the use of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a cryptographic tool that allows users to prove they’re eligible to vote without revealing their wallet address or how they voted.Second is the anonymity of the participant.

This guards against coercion, bribery, and whale watching, where smaller voters mimic the decisions of large token holders
These AI stewards would automate routine governance participation and flag only key issues for human review.
To filter out low-quality or spammy proposals, an emerging problem as generative AI floods open forums, Buterin suggests launching prediction markets. In these, agents could bet on the likelihood that proposals would be accepted.
Good bets would earn payouts, incentivizing valuable contributions while penalizing noise.
Buterin also called for privacy-preserving tools such as multi-party computation and trusted execution environments, enabling AI agents to assess sensitive data, such as job applications or legal disputes, without exposing it on a public blockchain.

Crypto, real estate and politics collided at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club as insiders debated tokenization and regulation.
Conversations floated from the future of finance to how it might fix what’s been broken in the past — ambitious visions of tokenized assets, regulatory overhauls, and reimagined capital markets. But just as easily, the talk turned to the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournament and press-on nails, courtesy of a few unexpected names who probably had no business being there, and yet somehow made the whole thing feel even more surreal.
The event was not targeted toward an exclusively U.S. audience; attendees hailed from a number of countries. Several attendees flew from Consensus Hong Kong last week directly to Palm Beach to attend the World Liberty Forum. One attendee said they had flown in on Wednesday morning from ETHDenver, and several others said they would be flying to the Colorado conference following the forum
In any other context, the event would seem to be a typical crypto conference; speakers from traditional financial backgrounds explaining how they're using blockchain or why they're discussing crypto to a dimly lit room.
However, the backdrop loomed: This was a conference put on by World Liberty Financial, the crypto company launched and owned in part by the family of U.S. President Donald Trump, held at his golf club Mar-a-Lago, with several attendees tied to his business interests. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, in his first U.S. appearance since receiving a pardon from Trump, was spotted at the event. Goldman Sachs' David Solomon joked on stage that he was there because his client had requested his presence.
Many of the panels themselves were high-level; World Liberty Financial co-founder Alex Witkoff asked U.S. Senator Ashley Moody to walk the audience through her background, or Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. reiterating their past grievances with the banks.
"It was forced and maybe opportunistic but we lived a life that opened our eyes to maybe how corrupt the system was … banks [canceled our accounts] for no reason other than my father was wearing a hat that said 'Make America Great Again,'" Eric Trump claimed. "We realized how antiquated finance was, how punitive finance was."
Amid these sessions, some speakers walked through their arguments for the digital assets sector. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson laid out the rationale for the U.S. dollar remaining the global reserve currency, saying the European Union was too uncoordinated for the euro to take the dollar's place and other currencies just didn't meet the moment.
About 50% of trade today is done in dollars, another 30% is in the euros, [but] there's no single European debt market. They can't even coordinate around the euro … so that's not going to be the next reserve," she said.
China's renminbi and India's rupee are contenders, but neither is free-floating, and so that makes it unlikely either of those currencies can take on the role, she said.
As long as people are still looking for their stablecoin to be backed by the most risk-free currency, it's going to be the dollar," she said.
Many of the panels nevertheless only had a passing focus on digital assets themselves. The audience reflected this, with crowds mingling outside the actual room to chat during several panels.
It wouldn’t have been a Trump gathering without the biggest real estate moguls in the room — and that’s when tokenization (putting assets on blockchain) became a topic. Hotel billionaire Barry Sternlicht, whose Starwood Capital manages over $125 million in assets under management, said the firm was ready to tokenize real-world assets such as real estate, but continues to be unable to do so given the regularity uncertainty.
Similarly, Kevin O’Leary told listeners that sovereign wealth funds, with whom he speaks regularly, won’t touch crypto because they’re afraid of the regulatory risk that comes with it in the U.S.
From O’Leary to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, if the day’s lineup were ranked by celebrity status, the organizers surely saved the best for last — and probably the least relevant.
Nicki Minaj closed out the event as the final panelist, but the first that caused half the room to take out their phones to snap a picture. Her presence may not make sense in the context of finance or crypto specifically — when moderator Alex Bruesewitz informed her that people gathered to talk about a new innovation in finance, she said she “can like it" — but given her recently developed close relationship with President Donald Trump, it wasn’t entirely surprising to see her support the family’s event.
The World Liberty Forum wasn’t just a conference, it was the kind of room where fortunes are steered, not pitched, and where the side chatter was just as telling as the main agenda.

Private-equity firm Blue Owl Capital (OWL) tumbled nearly 15% this week as it was forced to liquidate $1.4 billion in assets to pay investors looking to exit one of its private credit funds.
It stirred some painful memories for those who suffered through the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC).
In August 2007, two Bear Stearns hedge funds collapsed after suffering heavy losses on subprime mortgage-backed securities, while BNP Paribas froze withdrawals in three funds, citing an inability to value U.S. mortgage assets. Credit markets seized up, liquidity evaporated, and what seemed like an isolated incident spiraled into the global financial crisis
Is this a 'canary-in-the-coalmine' moment, similar to August 2007," asked former Pimco head Mohamed El-Erian. "There’s plenty to think about here, starting with the risks of an investing phenomenon in [artificial intelligence] markets that has gone too far," he continued. El-Erian was quick to point out that while the risks could be systemic, they don't appear to be anywhere near the magnitude of the 2008 crisis.
Blue Owl's issue may or may not be another Bear Stearns moment, but if it is, what might that mean for bitcoin?
First, private credit stress doesn't automatically mean bitcoin rallies. In fact, in the short term, tighter credit conditions can hurt risk assets, bitcoin and the broader crypto market among them. While bitcoin wasn't around during the 2008 meltdown (more on that later), the price action as the Covid crisis was unfolding — about a 70% decline from mid-February 2020 to mid-March — is illuminating.
The U.S. government's Federal Reserve's eventual response, though, could be powerfully bullish for bitcoin. In 2020, trillions of dollars were injected into the economy, helping send BTC from a low of below $4,000 to more than $65,000 about a year later.
The 2007-2008 playbook followed a similar trajectory: initial credit market stress, equity market denial, banking sector contagion, then massive central bank intervention. If Blue Owl represents the "first domino" — as former Peter Lynch associate George Noble suggested — the sequence could repeat with private credit replacing subprime mortgages as the trigger.
One of the major outcomes of the 2008 event was the creation of Bitcoin.
Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
Another major part of the world's largest digital asset was to create a parallel digital currency that would allow direct peer-to-peer online payments without the need for a financial institution or any government intervention. Essentially, hope was to create a direct alternative to a legacy banking system that had just proved fragile enough to bring down the global financial order through the meddling of centralized entities.
The world's original cryptocurrency was born during the global financial crisis, in part because its mysterious creator (or creators), Satoshi Nakamoto, was disillusioned with governments and central banks conjuring up hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars with little more than a few keystrokes on a computer.
Worth essentially zero on that day and unknown to all but a small handful of "cypherpunks," bitcoin, 17 years later, has a market cap topping $1 trillion and has the largest asset managers on the planet calling it a near-essential asset to own for most portfolios.
In fact, Bitcoin's first-ever block, the so-called Genesis Block on Jan. 3, 2009, was embedded by Satoshi with "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." That was the headline in The Times of London that day as the U.K. government and the Bank of England engineered a response to the ongoing troubles in that country's financial sector.
Bitcoin, as we now know it, of course, is different from the original cryptocurrency in 2009. Today, the notion of "store of value" and "digital gold" has come and gone. What was supposed to be anti-establishment has become part of the larger financial system. Large holders are hoarding massive amounts of bitcoin on their balance sheets, financial giants are offering bitcoin to the masses via exchange-traded funds, and even some government entities are buying for their strategic reserves.
So does the Blue Owl failure mean another resurgence of Bitcoin's original thesis and, in turn, another bull run? Time will tell, but if this event turns out to be El-Erian's "canary," signalling another sizable crisis, the global financial system might be in for a rude awakening, and Bitcoin might just become the solution, whatever for

New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
Both systems ran on the same frontier model. The difference, according to the report, was the application layer: domain-specific methodology, structured review phases and DeFi-focused security heuristics layered on top of the model.
The findings arrive amid growing concern that AI is accelerating crypto crime. Separate research from Anthropic and OpenAI has shown that AI agents can now execute end-to-end exploits on most known vulnerable smart contracts, with exploit capability reportedly doubling roughly every 1.3 months. The average cost of an AI-powered exploit attempt is about $1.22 per contract, sharply lowering the barrier to large-scale scanning.
Previous CoinDesk coverage outlined how bad actors such as North Korea have begun using AI to scale hacking operations and automate parts of the exploit process, underscoring the widening gap between offensive and defensive capabilities.
Cecuro argues that many teams rely on general-purpose AI tools or one-off audits for security, an approach the benchmark suggests may miss high-value, complex vulnerabilities. Several contracts in the dataset had previously undergone professional audits before being exploited.
The benchmark dataset, evaluation framework and baseline agent have been open-sourced on GitHub. The company said it has not released its full security agent due to concerns that similar tooling could be repurposed for offensive use.

Small wallets have increased their BTC holdings by 2.5% since October's all-time high while large holders trimmed 0.8%, Santiment data shows.
The interesting bit is a developing split in coin ownership that could shape what happens next.
Data from Santiment shows the number of wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC, a level typically associated with retail investors, has increased by 2.5% since the largest cryptocurrency hit a record high in October. The growth has pushed the so-called shrimps' share of supply to its highest since mid-2024.
In practice, though, it's the larger holders known as whales and sharks who tend to set the tone for price direction. Those investors, with wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC, went the other way, dropping about 0.8%.
It's the kind of split that tends to produce choppy, frustrating price action rather than clean trends.
Retail provides a floor and can spark short-term momentum. Rallies that stick require bigger players who are prepared to buy whatever's on offer.
The divergence is especially notable because the picture looked different just a few weeks ago.
After bitcoin cratered toward $60,000 on Feb. 5 — a drawdown of more than 50% from its October peak — Glassnode's Accumulation Trend Score climbed to 0.68, the strongest broad-based reading since late November, as CoinDesk reported earlier in the month.
Glassnode's metric measures the relative strength of accumulation across different wallet sizes by factoring in both entity size and the amount of BTC accumulated over the past 15 days. A score closer to 1 signals accumulation, while a score closer to 0 indicates distribution.
During the flash, the 10-to-100 BTC cohort was the most aggressive dip buyer, and the data suggested the market was shifting from capitulation into something more synchronized.
Santiment's wider lens complicates that reading. Its 10-to-10,000 BTC band captures a much broader slice of large holders than Glassnode's dip-buying cohort, and across that full range, net positioning since October is still negative.
One way to reconcile the two takes: mid-sized wallets may have genuinely bought the panic while the largest holders kept distributing into every recovery, dragging the aggregate number down.
It matters because bitcoin doesn't need retail to show up. Retail is already here.
What it needs is for the distribution from large wallets to stop, or better yet, reverse. Without that, every rally risks being sold into by the very cohort that needs to provide structural demand if it is to succeed.
The shrimps are doing their part. They are waiting for the whales join in.
