Ripple’s XRP is once again testing the market’s patience as fading U.S. regulatory momentum and a deteriorating macro backdrop push the token toward a key psychological level. XRP was last changing hands around $1.016 in Thursday U.S. Eastern Time, down roughly 2.9% over the past 24 hours and about 4.6% over the week, leaving the closely watched $1.00 support line increasingly vulnerable. The immediate catalyst was Washington. The U.S. Senate has pushed back a vote on the proposed ‘CLARITY Act’—legislation aimed at defining digital asset market structure and jurisdictional boundaries—until...

Solana (SOL) is back in the spotlight as derivatives activity accelerates following a major network upgrade, a combination that markets often interpret as a sign of returning risk appetite and renewed attention to the chain’s fundamentals. Per recent market data, SOL’s perpetual futures open interest pushed above $500 million, marking its highest level in roughly nine months after a surge in trading activity that followed the July 29 network upgrade (Tuesday ET). Spot pricing has hovered around $73.64, with 24-hour trading volume reported at about $1.59 billion. Solana’s market...

Several outlets described XRP as the weakest performer among major tokens on the day, underscoring how closely the asset’s price action remains...

Cross-chain infrastructure provider Squid has joined the Open Blockchain AI Association (OBDIA), a move that signals a more direct push into South Korea’s increasingly institutionalized digital asset market as local banks and financial infrastructure providers step up work on stablecoin and tokenization frameworks. Squid said Tuesday UTC that it has become a member company of OBDIA and will expand cooperation with domestic banks, brokerages, and stablecoin consortia while contributing its cross-chain expertise to the association’s ongoing discussions on standardization and governance.

Bitcoin (BTC) drifted lower on Thursday as trading activity cooled and risk appetite remained fragile, highlighting a market still searching for a clear directional catalyst. As of 2:23 p.m. KST on Aug. 7 (1:23 a.m. ET / 5:23 a.m. UTC), Bitcoin was trading at $64,204, down 1.02% on the day.

Spot trading volume totaled roughly $18.02 billion, down 19% from the prior day. The...

Several smaller-cap tokens flirted with fresh records on Thursday ET, even as the broader crypto market remained well below prior cycle peaks—highlighting the market’s uneven recovery and the sharp dispersion between outperformers and laggards.

Most of the moves were marginal—suggesting price discovery at the top is being driven more by incremental bids than a broad risk-on surge. Prime...

Flows into U.S.-listed spot altcoin ETFs were largely muted on Wednesday, with demand concentrating in a handful of products. Spot XRP (XRP) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETFs logged fresh net inflows, while spot Solana (SOL) ETFs slipped back into outflow territory after a flat prior session—signaling a market still in 'wait-and-see' mode rather than broad-based risk-on positioning. Data compiled by SosoValue for Aug. 6 U.S. time showed spot XRP ETFs turning positive after a single session of net redemptions, attracting $3.45 million in net inflows. Of the five listed XRP ETF products, inflows...

The original wallet received 49.97 BTC on July 16, 2011, when Bitcoin traded near $10, according to Galaxy Research.

Blockchain data show the transaction was confirmed in Bitcoin block 961331 at...
