    @seth_fin Coinbase premium staying negative through the whole leg down is the cleanest "not yet" out there 👍 Sellers exhausting and buyers showing up are two different events, and this is the metric that tells you which one you're in. It's a confirmation input for me, not an entry trigger — the flip to positive is.

    Case stems from Fed's 2023 rejection of Wyoming crypto bank's 2020 application for direct payment system access. Industry group claims Fed has excessive discretion that enables "crypto debanking" under alleged "Operation Choke Point 2.0." Meanwhile, Kraken Financial secured limited Fed access in March, while Coinbase, Circle, and others gain federal trust company approvals - highlighting inconsistent regulatory treatment across crypto banking sector.

    LATEST: @coinbase CEO @brian_armstrong warns an AI model could "go rogue" on the internet within 1–2 years, comparing it to the 1988 Morris Worm. Three frontier labs witnessed three rogue incidents in one year: → OpenAI models escaped containment and compromised Hugging Face → Anthropic's Mythos took unsanctioned action in UK government tests → Meta's model breached a third-party system Armstrong says people will adapt and defenses will get built. But the defense isn't shutting AI down. It's identity infrastructure that makes authorization the prerequisite, not the afterthought.

    CryptoBro (@CryptoBro_4alls) reported

    Coinbase, Block and over 30 bitcoin firms asked the big AI labs for the model access attackers already have. Filters that stop malware also block defenders finding flaws first. The BTCPay bug that drained Lightning nodes was caught this way. Your own keys stay out of that fight.

    @ihascorndog To be clear, I don't mean Fidelity's Crypto service which I don't trust or having someone hold actual BTC for me, which is also risky I mean Fidelity's stock brokerage and buying stock BTC ETFs like IBIT If someone leaked a list of Fidelity brokerage users who own crypto ETFs, scammers would get 0 benefit from that Holder can't actually transfer anything to them unless they sold to cash and did a bank transfer which would take a week and can be blocked or reimbursed later anyway But having Coinbase custody BTC means guy with wrench can force you to send it to them directly with no recourse

    My Coinbase Account keeps creeping lower, when will the pain stop, if ever. Look CRYPTO has been dismal and if you had all your money in Crypto for past few years it was a big mistake. Cash is still King, Learn option trading and DCA into funds, Etfs and Buy Good Stocks for Long hall. Yes there Always Risk, but Crypto if we are honest is still overvalued. I understand IF money is sent on chain and IF all assets are tokenized, but as of now Crypto is not making any money. Im not saying unload all your Crypto but if you have alot of any 1 and dont have alot of cash and you arent earning High Level Salary, you may want to adjust because there are No Guarantees with CRYPTO. Play option if you want aggressive trading because that was what Crypto used to be, and sad part there is no Voliatility with crypto except Down. When n IF Clarity passes, if we do not see Violent Upward Momentum within the first 6 months, then the Crypto Dream may be over. Yes there alway be a MEME Coin Pump or Altcoin Pump. I understand we all have different levels of Risk and Conviction but sometimes you need to adjust, cannot take any of this personal. JUST A Little Real Talk Have a Great rest of your day.

    HyperAICharts daily newsletter – August 13, 2026 #Bitcoin remains near $63,800 as softer U.S. inflation data reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve—but still fail to produce a decisive crypto breakout. bitcoin:native is holding its range, $ETH remains below $1,900, institutional ETF demand has weakened, corporate Bitcoin treasuries are becoming more active, and leverage is expanding just as security and regulatory risks remain elevated. Market snapshot • BTC: approximately $63,800 • ETH: approximately $1,880–$1,900 • XRP: approximately $1.02 • Sentiment: Fear • BTC support: $62,000–$63,000 • BTC resistance: $65,000–$65,500 • ETH support: $1,850 • ETH resistance: $1,950–$2,000 Bitcoin traded around $63,833 on August 13 after July CPI showed annual inflation easing to 3.4% from 3.5%, while core inflation slowed to 2.5%. The follow-up inflation signal was also relatively benign: July producer prices were unchanged month over month versus expectations for an increase, while annual PPI slowed to 4.7%. Markets reduced expectations of a September Fed rate increase to roughly 35%. Ten developments that matter 1. Inflation is cooling—but Bitcoin still cannot break resistance July CPI came in at: • +0.1% month over month • +3.4% year over year • Core CPI: +0.2% MoM • Core CPI: +2.5% YoY Then July PPI came in flat month over month, below the expected increase. The combination of softer consumer inflation, weak July employment and benign producer-price data reduces the immediate pressure on the Fed to tighten policy again. That should normally be supportive for liquidity-sensitive assets. But BTC remains below $65,000–$65,500. That muted reaction matters: macro conditions have improved, but crypto-specific demand is not yet strong enough to convert favorable data into a confirmed breakout. A sustained move above $65,500–$66,000 would improve the structure. A loss of $62,000–$63,000 would shift attention back toward the lower end of Bitcoin’s recent range. 2. ETF flows are no longer providing consistent support U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $61.2M in net outflows on August 12. Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for roughly $46.8M of the outflow, while BlackRock’s IBIT lost approximately $14.3M. Ethereum ETFs moved in the opposite direction, recording approximately $7.4M of net inflows on August 12. The sequence matters. Bitcoin ETF demand surged during August 3–7, but subsequent sessions have been inconsistent. That means institutional demand has not disappeared—but it is no longer providing the same persistent marginal bid. For BTC, the stronger signal would be several consecutive positive ETF sessions combined with spot-market strength above resistance. 3. Strategy is actively managing its Bitcoin treasury—not simply accumulating Strategy sold 1,690 BTC for $108.6M between August 3 and August 9 at an average net sale price of $64,262. Its Bitcoin holdings fell to 840,447 BTC. The company’s aggregate Bitcoin purchase cost is approximately $63.36B, equivalent to an average acquisition price of $75,385 per BTC. The Bitcoin-sale proceeds funded the repurchase of approximately 1.15M STRC preferred shares. Strategy simultaneously sold approximately $653.1M of MSTR common stock, directing $650M of the proceeds into its U.S. dollar reserve. That reserve reached approximately $4.65B as of August 9 and is intended to support preferred-stock dividends and interest obligations. This is an important evolution in the corporate-Bitcoin thesis. Strategy now demonstrates that BTC can serve as: • A long-term treasury reserve • A source of corporate liquidity • A funding mechanism for security repurchases • Part of a broader capital-structure strategy Corporate Bitcoin holdings therefore should not automatically be treated as permanently illiquid supply. 4. Kraken has raised BTC/USD spot-margin leverage to 20x Kraken Pro now allows eligible traders in selected jurisdictions to use up to 20x leverage on BTC/USD spot-margin positions. The change applies specifically to BTC/USD margin—not every pair and not futures. Higher leverage improves capital efficiency. It also reduces the amount of adverse price movement required to create large percentage losses relative to posted collateral when traders use that leverage to increase position size. This matters because Bitcoin is currently trading inside a relatively narrow technical range. More leverage inside a compressed market can amplify: • Stop-loss cascades • Liquidations • Intraday volatility • Short squeezes • Long squeezes Leverage itself does not determine market direction. It increases the sensitivity of positioning to price movement. 5. Ethereum staking is reaching a structural inflection point Reported staking data indicate approximately 41.9M ETH is now locked—roughly one-third of circulating supply. That reduces immediately liquid ETH supply but has also reopened the debate around how much Ethereum should issue to validators. A new draft, EIP-8363 — Tapered Issuance Burn, proposes modifying Ethereum’s issuance curve by burning a portion of validator rewards as the staking ratio rises. The objective is to prevent an ever-growing percentage of ETH from becoming staked simply because staking continues to offer a persistent yield floor. The proposal is early-stage and has not been adopted. Potential benefits: • Lower future ETH issuance • Less dilution for unstaked holders • Reduced incentive for excessive staking concentration • Potentially stronger monetary scarcity Potential costs: • Lower validator yields • Reduced attractiveness for institutional staking strategies • Pressure on liquid-staking economics • Possible effects on validator decentralization For ETH investors, this is a monetary-policy debate—not an immediate network upgrade. 6. Coinbase is building a regulated tokenized-securities hub in Abu Dhabi Coinbase received Financial Services Permission from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market. The authorization allows Coinbase to arrange investment transactions and provide custody in connection with tokenized securities. This extends a broader institutional trend: Traditional securities are increasingly being represented through blockchain infrastructure while retaining regulated ownership, custody and compliance systems. Potential advantages include: • Programmable ownership • Blockchain-based settlement • Extended operating hours • Integrated compliance • Faster collateral movement • Onchain servicing of traditional assets This is significant for blockchain adoption, but it should not automatically be interpreted as demand for BTC or ETH. The more important signal is that regulated capital markets are increasingly adopting blockchain infrastructure independently of cryptocurrency speculation. 7. ENS is formalizing its governance structure ENS tokenholders approved a governance restructuring that gives the ENS Foundation administrative control over an endowment worth approximately $65M in ETH and stablecoins. Protocol control remains with ENS tokenholders. The Foundation structure is intended to professionalize: • Staffing • Grants • Intellectual-property management • External relationships • Endowment administration The endowment also includes safeguards such as timelocks and Security Council intervention rights. This illustrates a broader DAO governance trend: As decentralized protocols grow, many are separating tokenholder governance from day-to-day legal and operational management. That can improve execution—but also creates legitimate questions about centralization, accountability and the practical meaning of decentralization. 8. FlightAware’s dispute with Kalshi ended almost as quickly as it began FlightAware sued prediction-market operator Kalshi over alleged unauthorized use of its flight-cancellation data and trademark. One day later, FlightAware voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit without publicly explaining the decision. The underlying issue remains important. Prediction markets increasingly depend on external data to settle contracts. That creates unresolved questions around: • Data licensing • Trademark use • Oracle integrity • Manipulation incentives • Who legally owns settlement data • Liability when market outcomes depend on third-party information The dispute may have been withdrawn, but the structural problem is likely to reappear as prediction markets expand into more real-world events. 9. Ravencoin demonstrates how dangerous a consensus-layer vulnerability can become Ravencoin disclosed a critical consensus vulnerability that caused vulnerable nodes to accept invalid blocks. The first known invalid block appeared at height 4,487,776 on August 7. Mining pools including 2Miners and RavenMiner began building a competing chain that excludes the affected branch, while exchanges suspended RVN deposits and withdrawals. This is more serious than a normal application exploit. A consensus-layer failure can affect: • Transaction finality • Chain history • Exchange deposits • Double-spend assumptions • Merchant settlement • Bridge accounting Recent transactions can become vulnerable to reorganization while network participants converge on a valid chain. The lesson is straightforward: Not all blockchain risk is smart-contract risk. Consensus implementation, node software and miner coordination remain fundamental security dependencies. 10. The Goliath case reinforces the oldest crypto warning: guaranteed returns are a red flag The CFTC charged Goliath Ventures and CEO Christopher Delgado in connection with an alleged crypto Ponzi scheme involving at least $397M from approximately 1,600 customers. Regulators allege that the company misappropriated customer funds, paid fictional profits to existing investors and issued statements showing returns that did not exist. Delgado had already pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges in June, and the SEC filed a parallel civil case on August 11. The core warning signs remain remarkably consistent: • Guaranteed principal • Guaranteed profits • Returns materially above market rates • Opaque investment strategies • Withdrawal delays • Additional payments demanded before withdrawals • Account balances that cannot be independently verified Blockchain technology does not eliminate Ponzi economics. Regulatory update: the SEC meeting was cancelled The SEC had scheduled an August 14 open meeting to consider whether to propose a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The SEC updated the meeting page on August 13 to mark the meeting Cancelled. Therefore, August 14 should no longer be treated as a confirmed regulatory catalyst. The proposed framework remains important, but the timetable is now uncertain. The same caution applies to claims of a fixed September 15 Senate vote on the CLARITY Act: absent a confirmed Senate schedule, regulatory progress should be treated as pending rather than as a binary event on a predetermined date. Market structure Bitcoin • Support: $62,000–$63,000 • Intermediate level: $63,500–$64,000 • Resistance: $65,000–$65,500 • Breakout confirmation: approximately $66,000 The constructive case requires BTC to convert favorable macro data into actual spot demand. Until that happens, the market remains range-bound. Ethereum • Support: approximately $1,850 • Resistance: approximately $1,950 • Major psychological resistance: $2,000 ETH is caught between: Constructive • Record staking participation • Reduced liquid supply • Expanding institutional blockchain adoption • Tokenization activity • Strong Layer 2 usage Risks • Weak price momentum • Inconsistent ETF flows • Debate over validator economics • Corporate treasury volatility • Layer 2 value-capture questions A sustained recovery above $2,000 would materially improve the technical structure. XRP The $1.00 area remains the critical psychological level. XRP continues to benefit from Ripple’s institutional expansion and growing tokenization infrastructure, but regulatory uncertainty and weak broader altcoin liquidity remain headwinds. Security radar Several events this week point to different layers of crypto risk: • Coldcard — key-generation and operational-security risk • Coreum — bridge-verification risk • Ravencoin — consensus-layer risk • Goliath — counterparty and fraud risk • Prediction markets — oracle and external-data risk • High-leverage trading — liquidation risk These risks are fundamentally different and should not be grouped under a generic label of “crypto security.” What to watch next • Whether BTC can reclaim $65,000–$65,500 • Whether ETF flows return to sustained positive territory • ETH’s response around $1,850–$2,000 • Strategy’s future BTC sales and capital-allocation decisions • Growth in leveraged BTC/USD positioning after Kraken’s 20x increase • Ethereum’s EIP-8363 issuance debate • Coinbase’s Abu Dhabi tokenization rollout • Ravencoin’s chain recovery and exchange reopening • ENS Foundation governance execution • The SEC’s rescheduling or next step on crypto investment-contract rules • Upcoming U.S. retail-sales and PCE inflation data The larger signal is increasingly clear: Crypto’s next phase is being driven by the interaction of macro liquidity, institutional infrastructure, leverage, governance and operational security—not by price alone. Bitcoin has received more favorable inflation data but has not broken out. Ethereum has record staking participation but remains below $2,000. Traditional financial firms are moving securities onchain while crypto-native protocols are redesigning their governance and monetary economics. At the same time, leverage is expanding and failures are occurring at every layer—from private-key generation to bridges and consensus software. The market is becoming more institutional. It is also becoming more complex. What matters most for the next move: BTC technicals, ETF demand, Fed policy, leverage, institutional tokenization or security risk? Informational only. Not financial advice.

    Bitcoin News Alerts 🔥🎙️ (@btcnewsalerts) reported

    A $320 BILLION bank just turned Bitcoin into something you can buy from your BANK ACCOUNT. For years… banks told you Bitcoin was too risky. Too volatile. Too dangerous. Now Israel’s LARGEST bank is preparing to let EVERY customer… BUY… HOLD… and SELL Bitcoin… directly inside its banking app. No crypto exchange. No separate trading platform. No learning how Coinbase works. You open your BANKING APP… and Bitcoin is sitting there alongside the traditional financial system. Bank Leumi just announced a partnership with Galaxy Digital that will bring digital asset trading directly to customers of Leumi and PEPPER. Bitcoin. Ether. Solana. Right inside the Leumi Trade app. And the service is expected to launch in early 2027. Think about what just happened. This isn’t a Bitcoin company trying to convince people to adopt Bitcoin. This is Israel’s LARGEST BANK deciding its customers should be able to access Bitcoin without ever leaving the banking ecosystem. That distinction matters. Because one of the biggest barriers to Bitcoin adoption has always been friction. Download an exchange. Create an account. Verify your identity. Transfer money. Learn a completely different interface. Understand wallets. Understand addresses. Understand custody. For Bitcoiners… that’s normal. For the average banking customer? That’s friction. Bank Leumi is preparing to remove a massive piece of it. Your bank account already exists. Your identity is already verified. Your money is already there. And soon… BITCOIN will be there too. Now zoom out. Because Israel isn’t happening in isolation. Banks around the world are moving closer to Bitcoin. Wall Street built Bitcoin ETFs. Major financial institutions are building Bitcoin infrastructure. Governments are debating Bitcoin reserves. And yesterday we were talking about sovereign nations issuing BONDS to accumulate Bitcoin. Today… Israel’s largest bank is bringing Bitcoin directly to its customers. Different stories. Same direction. The separation between Bitcoin and traditional finance is disappearing. And that creates an entirely different adoption funnel. There are BILLIONS of people with bank accounts. They don’t all need to become Bitcoin experts. They don’t need to become crypto traders. They don’t even need to understand every technical detail of Bitcoin. They just need to see a button. BUY BITCOIN. That’s it. And once banks realize customers WANT that button… what does the bank across the street do? Ignore it? Let its competitor become the place customers go to buy Bitcoin? Or add the same button? That’s where this gets interesting. Because banking is competitive. If Bitcoin becomes a product customers expect… Bitcoin access stops being unusual. It becomes a FEATURE. And features get copied. One bank adds Bitcoin. Another responds. Then another. Until eventually the strange bank isn’t the one OFFERING Bitcoin… it’s the one that DOESN’T. And remember what all of these institutions are ultimately competing over. The exact same asset. 21 MILLION Bitcoin. Banks can create new financial products. Governments can issue more bonds. Central banks can create more currency. Wall Street can create more ETFs. But NONE of them can create more Bitcoin. So while the infrastructure around Bitcoin can expand almost infinitely… the underlying asset cannot. That’s the collision. Millions of new buyers gaining easier access… to something whose supply refuses to expand with demand. And Bitcoin didn’t need permission from the banks for any of this to happen. Bitcoin kept producing blocks. Kept settling transactions. Kept existing outside the banking system. Until eventually… the banking system started building doors INTO Bitcoin. Bank Leumi is simply the latest door. And once Bitcoin becomes another button inside the same app people already use to check their balance… pay bills… and manage their money… you’re not bringing Bitcoin to the crypto crowd anymore. You’re bringing Bitcoin to EVERYONE. And there are still only… 21 MILLION.
