XRP is back near $1 even as network activity rebounds, whale deposits to Binance collapse, and derivatives exposure builds near recent lows.The token fell to about $0.98 this week before recovering toward $1, according to CryptoSlate data, extending a retreat that has erased much of its May rally. Crowd commentary around XRP simultaneously reached its most bearish level in three months across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other crypto channels tracked by Santiment.Beneath that price weakness, several parts of the market have strengthened. More addresses are using the XRP Ledger (XRPL), large holders are moving less XRP onto Binance, and traders…

Solana Research Institute, a Solana-aligned research group, used an Aug. 14 post to revive a July open letter by Angus Scott to the UK Financial Conduct Authority and other regulators. SRI reported roughly $18 billion in liquidations over 14 hours during the Oct. 10, 2025 crypto crash, including $3.21 billion in a single minute, and argued that opaque centralized venues failed while transparent on-chain finance kept functioning.The crash records point to a more specific conclusion. Public data made it possible to reconstruct a large auto-deleveraging event on Hyperliquid, as well as deficits and oracle delays at Aave. ESMA later said…
The 21Shares Ethereum ETF, which trades as TETH, reported $48.4 million in TETH redemptions during the first half of 2026 and ended June with 86.42% of its ETH holdings staked, according to an Aug. 14 quarterly filing.

Using the filing’s unrounded figures, redemptions exceeded contributions by $6.251 million. The trust sold 21,125.2745 ETH for $48.426…
SRX Global reported a 4.3% EMJX gain that the company labels hypothetical, but its first post-acquisition disclosures still leave the central investor question unanswered: whether the strategy performs with company capital.SRX completed the acquisition on June 16, two weeks before its fiscal third quarter ended. In its Aug. 13 results release, the company described the EMJX result for June 16 through June 30 as “hypothetical” and “system-generated.” It explicitly said the figure did not represent actual trading results or returns earned on capital invested by SRX.That distinction matters because SRX had said in June, when it announced the completed acquisition,…
The $16.3 billion in Bitcoin ETF positions that CryptoSlate recently tracked ahead of the Q2 filing deadline resolved into four disclosed position patterns.Two Abu Dhabi filers held their ordinary ETF share counts steady, JPMorgan increased ordinary spot-ETF units, UBS shifted its disclosed long-options mix, and Morgan Stanley reduced external ETF units as a new branded wrapper appeared in its filing.The result answers CryptoSlate’s pre-deadline Bitcoin ETF stress test within strict limits. The five filings arrived from Aug. 12 through Aug. 14, but each freezes reportable positions at June 30. Form 13F captures long securities and some held options while omitting…
Tudor Investment reported 18.9% more direct shares in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF at June 30 than it held three months earlier, even as its reported call-equivalent quantity fell 85.2%.
