CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes Bitcoin’s 2026 bear market has ended, citing a positive market-cycle indicator. Bitcoin has surged over 23% in two weeks, though it’s currently struggling to hold the US$80K mark. US Bitcoin ETFs saw their first outflows in nearly two weeks, led by Ark’s ARKB. As we wrote several times last week, analysts are currently following the crypto market closely to see whether there are signs the bear market is over. However, one analyst, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, has made up his mind. On X (formerly Twitter), he posted: Ki Young Ju says Bitcoin’s 2026…
Leveraged funds more than doubled their CME XRP net short as open interest surged nearly 40% in one week.Last week, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reported that XRP open interest increased by 2,206 from a week earlier, to 7,783 futures-equivalent contracts.

CryptoSlate previously reported that the digital asset had rebounded about 32% from $1 this month, trading near $1.38 as of press time.Leveraged funds moved against that momentum,…
Ripple’s roadmap, published April 20 by senior director of engineering Ayo Akinyele, schedules candidate post-quantum signature schemes to run alongside elliptic-curve signatures on the XRP Ledger’s Devnet in the second half of 2026. The plan targets a network-wide amendment and full transition to post-quantum cryptography no later than 2028, with partner Project Eleven building a hybrid signing prototype and a quantum-safe custody wallet. A “Q-Day” contingency would force what Ripple calls a hard shift, with classical signatures no longer accepted by the network and all funds moved to quantum-safe accounts. Ripple is working through a four-phase plan to ready the…

Circle’s wrapped Bitcoin product entered the market with unusually strong institutional credentials and almost no visible scale.The company paired cirBTC with segregated reserves, a federally supervised custodian, direct minting and redemption for eligible businesses, and the distribution infrastructure behind USDC. Circle’s Aug. 27 reserve panel nevertheless showed just 40.02450077 cirBTC outstanding about 11 weeks after its Ethereum launch.The same panel showed 42.5114162 BTC in reserve, equal to about 106.2% coverage and a 2.48691543 BTC cushion across 14 disclosed Bitcoin addresses. The reserve cushion settled the backing question at that snapshot. The 40-token float exposed the harder problem: Circle had built…
Stablecoin demand is becoming consequential in the U.S. government debt market, but the maturity of that demand matters more than the headline total.Washington now has two debt-market stories running at once. The federal framework for permitted payment stablecoins channels reserves into cash-like instruments and Treasuries with no more than 93 days remaining. Farther out on the curve, the Treasury Department said on Aug. 19 that it would at least double the maximum size of liquidity-support buybacks in the 10- to 20-year and 20- to 30-year nominal sectors beginning Sept. 9.Together, those developments test a broad claim about digital dollars funding…
BitGo’s NYDIG deal transfers its institutional trading business to the digital-asset custody and trading infrastructure provider, while NYDIG says it is concentrating resources on power, Bitcoin mining and high-performance-computing data centers.The closing terms disclosed by BitGo put roughly $42.5 million of consideration upfront. BitGo is adding an institutional team, client relationships and financial products around its custody and settlement platform. NYDIG is directing attention toward a company-described power-and-compute footprint exceeding 3 GW.The deal makes each company’s resource allocation clear while leaving the margin comparison unresolved. BitGo’s filings show that very large digital-asset sales can carry a thin gross spread. NYDIG…
Treasury’s proposed rules under the GENIUS Act, the new US stablecoin law, would let US exchanges and other digital-asset service providers keep offering some foreign-issued payment stablecoins, but only if they can defend why they trusted the issuer’s promise to comply with lawful US orders.Under the proposed rule, a provider could rely on a foreign issuer’s representation that it has the technology and intent to comply with lawful orders, such as valid orders to freeze or seize tokens where applicable, and reciprocal arrangements only after conducting reasonable due diligence. Reliance would be barred when the platform knows, has reason to…
PowerCompute, a Bitcoin treasury and mining company, added $3.765 million to its debt after an early Bitcoin collar reset involving 307 BTC. The executed schedule records the unwind cost as added principal rather than cash or USDC.The company’s Aug. 28 filing disclosed a $21,892,131.88 replacement 30-day collar balance with Arch Lending, up from $18,127,131.88.
