Bitcoin BTC$112,069.99<\/a>, which dropped below the key support level of $112,000 after the report, now appears to be forming<\/a> a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, often a precursor to a strong rally. BTC’s mining difficulty<\/a> hit a new high and Strategy (MSTR) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at additional BTC purchases. <\/p>\n On-chain indicators, however, paint a more nuanced picture for the largest cryptocurrency: The proportion of illiquid supply has surged<\/a> to record highs, signaling holder conviction. Yet, as CryptoQuant points out, whales are offloading<\/a> coins at the fastest pace since 2022.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a lively debate unfolded on X regarding the health of the Ethereum blockchain. One observer pointed<\/a> to August\u2019s revenue of $39.2 million, the fourth-lowest since 2021, proclaiming, \u201cEthereum is dying.\u201d <\/p>\n In response, Tom Dunleavy, a senior research analyst at Messari, pushed back strongly<\/a>, noting that Ethereum and Solana are thriving in terms of total value locked (TVL), active addresses, transaction volume, application revenue and stablecoin activity. He emphasized that revenue alone is a misleading metric for blockchain networks, as it contradicts their fundamental goal of enabling low-friction, decentralized financial activity and could ultimately hinder ecosystem growth.<\/p>\n Ethena\u2019s governance token, ENA, surged to three-week highs after StablecoinX, a treasury company linked to a synthetic dollar issuer planning a Nasdaq listing, raised $530 million <\/a>saying it intended to buy the tokens. The protocol\u2019s robust fundamentals, highlighted by seven-day revenues of $53 million \u2014 more than double those of Hyperliquid \u2014 combined with anticipated benefits from StablecoinX\u2019s Nasdaq listing and potential Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts, position ENA as a compelling investment opportunity, according to<\/a> pseudonymous observer Crypto Stream.<\/p>\n Speaking of Hyperliquid, the layer-1 blockchain and decentralized exchange’s plans to launch its own USDH stablecoin sparked a governance battle<\/a>, with the community facing backlash over a proposal tied to Stripe\u2019s Bridge platform’s centralized influence.<\/p>\n On the macro front, the yen held steady against the dollar, shrugging off Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s resignation. France, meanwhile, seemed headed toward government collapse. <\/p>\n In the U.S., the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release annual benchmark revisions on Tuesday, which are expected to show significantly weaker job growth earlier in the year, with some surveys suggesting that between 500,000 and 1 million jobs could be revised away.

The rally comes despite lingering skepticism following a string of celebrity-linked launches that flamed out earlier this year.Bonk BONK$0.0\u20842206<\/a>, a Solana-based, dog-themed token, led the charge with a nearly 7% daily gain. Dogecoin DOGE$0.2374<\/a>, the original memecoin, also climbed more than 7%, reaching $0.2335, while newer entrants like spx6900 SPX$1.3241<\/a> and pump.fun (PUMP) each outperformed the wider altcoin market.The CoinDesk Meme Index (CDMEME) has gained 2.20% in the past 24 hours, outpacing the broad market CoinDesk 20 Index measure, which added 1.27%.Other speculative assets, including the irreverently named fartcoin (FARTCOIN), also found buyers, adding to the sense of momentum across the sector. The rally suggests renewed appetite among retail traders for high-risk, high-reward bets after weeks of sideways action in the broader crypto market.The rally marks a sharp turnaround for the sector, which has been depressed for months. A series of celebrity-driven launches, including TRUMP and MELANIA coins, drew headlines in recent months but quickly collapsed under the weight of poor liquidity, questionable tokenomics, and investor fatigue.Layer-1 blockchain MemeCore (M), which is designed to cater to the memecoin sector, ignited the fuse last week, climbing 164% over a seven day period.The wider crypto market cap is up 0.57% to $3.84 trillion as majors bitcoin BTC$112,069.99<\/a> and ether (ETH) began to lift themselves away from a critical level of support, suggesting renewed strength for the altcoin and memecoin markets as a result.Derivatives Positioning<\/p>\n By Omkar Godbole<\/p>\n DOGE, SUI and HYPE have seen double-digit gains in futures open interest over the last 24 hours, significantly outpacing other top cryptocurrencies.Dogecoin OI surged to 16.88 billion DOGE, the highest since July 31, validating the 7.5% surge in the cryptocurrency’s price. The token has broken out of a descending trendline characterizing the pattern of lower highs since mid-July.BTC’s OI in USDT and USD-denominated perpetuals on major exchanges continues to hover in the recent range of 270K-290K BTC. An increase above 290K may be a harbinger of renewed price volatility.On the CME, BTC’s standard futures OI remains at April lows while the ETH futures OI has pulled back to 1.87 million ETH from the record high of 2.2 million ETH, indicating capital outflows.On Deribit, XRP and SOL calls trade at a premium to puts across all tenors, indicating a bullish bias. Meanwhile, BTC and ETH options signal lingering downside concerns.Market MovementsBTC is up 0.39% from 4 p.m. ET Friday at $112,087.64 (24hrs: +0.8%)ETH is up 0.26% at $4,328.09 (24hrs: +0.54%)CoinDesk 20 is up 1.25% at 4,079.43 (24hrs: +1.92%)Ether CESR Composite Staking Rate is down 9 bps at 2.81%BTC funding rate is at 0.0091% (9.9634% annualized) on Binance DOGE’s daily chart with the Ichimoku cloud. (TradingView\/CoinDesk) <\/p>\n DOGE’s two-day price rise has taken it past the trendline characterizing the decline from July 21’s high of 28.7 cents. Prices now look to be crossing into bullish territory above the Ichimoku cloud, a widely tracked momentum indicator. That would shift the focus to 25.58 cents, the Aug. 14 high.Crypto EquitiesCoinbase Global (COIN): closed on Friday at $299.07 (-2.52%), +0.81% at $301.50 in pre-marketCircle (CRCL): closed at $114.56 (-2.49%), +0.7% at $115.35Galaxy Digital (GLXY): closed at $23.49 (+2.53%), -0.38% at $23.40Bullish (BLSH): closed at $52.35 (+6.81%), -0.78% at $51.98MARA Holdings (MARA): closed at $15.19 (+0.53%), +0.33% at $15.24Riot Platforms (RIOT): closed at $13.29 (+0.99%), +0.3% at $13.33Core Scientific (CORZ): closed at $13.62 (0%), +1.32% at $13.80CleanSpark (CLSK): closed at $9.24 (+1.76%), +0.54% at $9.29CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI): closed at $29.45 (+0.96%)Exodus Movement (EXOD): closed at $24.03 (-1.15%)<\/p>\n Crypto Treasury Companies<\/p>\n Strategy (MSTR): closed at $335.87 (+2.53%), -2.02% at $329.10Semler Scientific (SMLR): closed at $28.12 (+0.11%)SharpLink Gaming (SBET): closed at $14.94 (-3.21%), -0.37% at $14.88Upexi (UPXI): closed at $6.04 (-4.58%), +2.65% at $6.20Mei Pharma (MEIP): closed at $4.23 (-0.94%), -20.33% at $3.37ETF Flows<\/p>\n Spot BTC ETFs<\/p>\n Daily net flows: -$160.1 millionCumulative net flows: $54.47 billionTotal BTC holdings ~1.29 million<\/p>\n Spot ETH ETFs<\/p>\n Daily net flows: -$446.8 millionCumulative net flows: $12.74 billionTotal ETH holdings ~6.42 million<\/p>\n Source: Farside Investors<\/a><\/p>\n Chart of the Day Monthly purchases of bitcoin by BTC Treasury companies.
