With the token bouncing to $28.85-up by a staggering 165% from its dreary lows-its 24-hour trading volume leapt to an impressive $2.9 billion, while market cap soared like a kite in a hurricane to $17.5 billion. 🌪️
Ever since that euphoric leap above $124,000-a brief, feverish nightmare-Bitcoin’s calm façade has cracked, revealing the chaos beneath. A mere 4% retreat in August, so trivial in its suffering, yet profound in its symbolism. August, that cursed month, has never been kind to our metallic messiah, often ending in ruin, much like a tragic hero’s last gasp on the stage of the world. 😏
At the grand Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, August 20, 2025, Waller painted a picture so vivid it could only be described as a “technology-driven revolution.” He nodded at credit cards and mobile payments, those trusty sidekicks of commerce’s past, but now here comes stablecoins, like the new kid on the block, ready to shake up transactions globally with all the subtlety of a thunderclap.
At the time of writing, the token trades around $851, reflecting a 3% daily gain. That’s a solid move, considering it’s not every day you see a 3% bump. 📈
The funds, which had been glacially frozen since May amidst whispers of fraud and market mischief, have now been declared unworthy of incarceration. The honorable judge Jennifer L. Rochon, ever the stalwart of fiscal fairness, declared that there was no Texas-sized reason to keep the money on ice. Both parties, Davis of Kelsier Labs and Chow of Meteora fame, waltzed through the courtroom like it was their own living room-cooperative and without attempts to sneak off with the cash. Fancy that!
Now, here’s where it gets delightfully peculiar. On-chain data reveals something rather cheeky: investors are sneaking off with their LINK tokens faster than you can say “blockchain.” Nearly $4.5 million worth of LINK has vanished from exchanges today. Vanished! Poof! Gone! 👻 What does this mean? Well, when people take their coins off exchanges, they’re not planning to sell anytime soon. And if no one’s selling, prices might just go up. How cunningly bullish of them!
Ethereum is like that one contestant on a reality TV show who keeps coming back, just to fall again. ETH slumped below $4,200, hitting $4,070 before rallying to $4,181. Ripple? It’s basically the “I’m not crying, you’re crying” of crypto at $2.88. Solana (SOL) is up marginally at $180, but Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 2%-because Shiba Inus need more treats. Cardano (ADA) is a dumpster fire with an 8% plunge, while Chainlink (LINK) is doing the “I’m okay” hand at $24.52. Stellar (XLM), Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), and Polkadot (DOT) are all in the “I need a nap” zone, while Toncoin (TON) is up 2%-probably dreaming of a better life. 🛌
Sushi’s (SUSHI) recent antics are a masterclass in technical theater. The $0.73 level, a bastion of confluence, has proven as resilient as a Nabokov protagonist’s ego. The golden pocket retracement, that siren of continuation, whispers promises of upward trajectories, while the POC, with its voluminous allure, ensures the bulls are anything but starved for attention. 🕺
Whale activity is suddenly in full swing, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are toying with the idea of crossing bearishly for the third time, and critical price levels are hanging by a thread. All signs point to potential short-term downtrend-especially for traders hoping to ride the next wave of volatility. Grab your surfboards, folks, it’s going to be choppy.
So here’s the deal: Capitalise.ai lets you turn your random thoughts into fully automated trading strategies. Yes, you can now type out your ‘I feel like Bitcoin is going to explode’ text and *boom*, it becomes a strategy. You can use it for everything from equities (fancy stocks), crypto (because, duh), FX (that’s forex, for those not in the know), futures (no one really gets these), and options (the stuff people try to pretend they understand). Kraken is integrating this tech into Kraken Pro later this year, so now you can test and automate strategies without writing a single line of code. Yeah, remember that whole “learn coding to be cool” phase? Yeah, forget that. Now, you just type. It’s real-time trading with no real-time work. Shannon Kurtas, Kraken’s Head of Exchange (yeah, that’s a thing), says it’s all about democratizing access to high-end trading tools. Like, just the average Joe can be a crypto genius now. The founders of Capitalise.ai, plus their techy folks, are hopping over to Kraken to make this whole thing even better. It’s like a match made in techie heaven.
