Odaily report: Analysts from three Wall Street firms—Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen, and Compass Point—all believe that despite Binance suffering an approximately $6.3 billion hack, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest the incident will threaten the broader crypto market, and the market's prior recovery trend is unlikely to be interrupted as a result.Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ramsey El-Assal noted that Tether has frozen over $1.5 billion in stolen assets, Circle has frozen approximately $800 million, and Ripple has frozen about $200 million, with Binance stating that the total frozen stolen funds currently amount to roughly $3 billion. He believes the crypto industry is gradually improving its ability to respond to such security incidents and expects crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy to rebound once market panic subsides, recommending that investors buy on the dip.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza believes the attack exposed security weaknesses in Binance's own transaction signing infrastructure rather than flaws in the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and that the market sell-off may present an opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin and shares of listed companies holding Bitcoin.Compass Point analysts believe Binance has sufficient liquidity to cover the funding gap, and expect its excess USDT reserves, BTC reserves, and USDC funds to be adequate to absorb the losses. However, the firm also warned that Binance compensating customers could put pressure on stablecoin supply and may drive users to migrate from centralized exchanges to competing platforms such as Coinbase, Bullish, and Hyperliquid.

Odaily report: Trader Killa posted that he still holds a Bitcoin long position with an entry price of $76,400. His trading plan remains completely unchanged, and he will not move the stop-loss up to the entry price. Instead, he will continue holding until the target price is reached or the stop-loss is triggered. To capture major market moves, one must patiently endure prolonged consolidation ranges and tedious price fluctuations.Killa also stated that frequently changing trading stance is precisely the reason many traders lose money. The key lies in whether the market structure and trading plan have changed; currently, neither has changed, so he will not panic or waver.
trader Killa has posted that current Bitcoin price action is highly similar to 2023. At that time, after BTC broke out of its consolidation range and posted a higher weekly high, it did not fall back below the previous high, but instead went on to form a higher low. If a similar pattern plays out this time, BTC may hold the upper boundary of its previous range, and the price may not fall back to the previous $74,000 low, but instead bottom out and rebound at a higher level. The current trend remains clearly bullish.
the crypto market is caught in a tug-of-war between bulls and bears: on one hand, digital asset analysts remain bullish; on the other hand, the speculative market as a whole is turning defensive, with risk appetite under continued pressure. Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000 for the first time in nearly a month. Dragged down by the sell-off in the U.S. stock market's AI sector, risk assets broadly retreated, and the bullish sentiment the crypto market had previously attempted to rebuild was once again undermined.Jeff Anderson, head of STS Digital's U.S. division, said inflation data will "deal a severe blow to risk appetite," while the market is entering a quiet period ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, with rate expectations still shrouded in uncertainty. Nick Forster, founder of Derive.xyz, said that over the past 24 hours, the market-implied probability of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by Christmas dropped 2.8 percentage points to 9.7%. He noted that the rapid retreat of long-term bullish bets and the surge in short-term hedging demand indicate that institutional participants are rapidly reassessing macro risk exposure as the interest rate outlook once again becomes murky.

Bonk Guy posted on X platform stating that Super Inu (SI) has maintained price support despite a significant increase in trading volume. Although the largest holder previously sold approximately 4% of the total token supply, the price did not decline further significantly, which he believes may indicate that SI has reached a local bottom.Bonk Guy pointed out that SI is currently at the bottom of its price range. As large holders reduce their positions, the token's holding distribution has noticeably improved, and its appeal to whales and new buyers is increasing.He believes that SI is one of the stronger emerging Meme coin narratives in this cycle. The current risk-reward ratio for going long is attractive, and he expects it to potentially break its all-time high in the future, reaching a market cap of at least several hundred million dollars.
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that the crypto market may be nearing a turning point. In a worst-case scenario, it could still experience several more weeks of decline or consolidation before potentially entering a sustained rally. He believes that if investors are highly bullish on a token's performance in Q4, the current risk-reward ratio favors actively buying the dip; if a token is expected to break a $1 billion market cap, then the difference between buying at a $20 million or $25 million valuation may not matter much.Bonk Guy also stated that the biggest risk right now is missing the next rally due to the bearish sentiment on Crypto Twitter (CT). He advised against paying too much attention to 1-minute candles and suggested buying the dip and reducing short-term trading.
crypto analyst Ali posted on X platform that over the past five days, XRP whales have accumulated more than 470 million XRP, worth approximately $724 million. Meanwhile, a "head and shoulders bottom" pattern continues to form on the XRP daily chart, and a bullish breakout may be approaching.
As monitored by on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), Garrett Bullish, Hyperliquid's largest ZEC short position holder (who previously suffered a $230 million liquidation on the 1011 whale account), has sold 35,000 ETH spot (~$87.5 million) and subsequently added margin, raising the ZEC liquidation price to $4,737.7. Their $55.89 million ZEC short currently shows an unrealized loss of $30.75 million, with an average entry price as low as $665.84.
Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.
following the release of today's US CPI data, the whale "Setting 10 Big Targets First" posted on X platform stating that Bitcoin has not fallen below $74,000, and the bullish trend remains unchanged."Setting 10 Big Targets First" previously stated: "Next, I'll look for opportunities to re-enter long positions. This trend has come more fiercely than I originally imagined, so the imagination for what's ahead can be bolder too. Getting on board at $80,000 or even above $80,000, I think it's still not too late—there's still room. $100,000 will most likely arrive sooner than I originally expected. Once we hit $100,000, we can reassess just how far this trend can go."
Prominent trader Bonk Guy (@theunipcs) announced in a post that the Robinhood Chain ecosystem protocol $PONS recorded a single-day revenue of $1.34 million today, with current annualized revenue at approximately $202 million, a market cap of roughly $434 million, and a buyback wallet balance of $3.7 million that continues to grow. The protocol will continuously repurchase $PONS tokens on the open market via TWAP.
According to on-chain data monitoring, the whale Loracle's sub-address newly opened 10x leveraged gold longs and 1x leveraged copper longs this morning, subsequently adding to the positions continuously.

Odaily News Analyst Killa stated on platform X that, based on historical performance, when BTC begins to form a bottom and slowly trends upward, it often represents a favorable accumulation phase for altcoins. During the previous cycle, as BTC rose from $16,000 to $74,000, a large number of altcoins recorded gains of 300%–500%. However, as BTC continued to strengthen thereafter and its market dominance increased, many altcoins began to face downward pressure.Killa believes that if BTC has already formed its bottom this cycle, some altcoins may have also established cyclical lows, prompting a recent resumption of selective altcoin positioning. His SOL position, bought at $76, is currently up approximately 50%. The ASTER long position shared recently has a target of at least 50% to 100% upside. Additionally, the HYPE spot or long position established earlier at $51.55 has since risen roughly 70%.
According to monitoring by Ai Yi, ZEC has risen to become the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with the largest ZEC short position on Hyperliquid currently showing an unrealized loss of approximately $23.57 million. The position belongs to Garrett Bullish (the "1011 Whale" who previously faced a $230 million liquidation), currently holding a 2x short position of 32,759.57 ZEC valued at roughly $38.18 million, entered at $444 with a liquidation price of $2,566. Additionally, they hold a long position of 1,331.88 BTC, which currently shows an unrealized profit of approximately $3.6 million.
Odaily News: Crypto trader Ansem stated in a post that some of the top traders he knows have still not turned bullish, primarily citing concerns over war, Treasury yields, the Federal Reserve's policy meetings, and the four-year cycle.Ansem believes that as the market develops, these still-cautious traders will shift their stance in Q4 and begin aggressively chasing gains.
Odaily News – Trader Ansem stated in a post that altcoins in 2017 are essentially not much different from today's meme coins. The former often relied on whitepapers and founder narratives to attract market capital, while today's meme coins at least explicitly acknowledge that their essence is a game of attention trading.Ansem stated that he is currently more bullish on meme coins than ever before.
Odaily News – Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that Bitcoin (BTC) could rise to $100,000 by the end of 2026 as the U.S. Treasury expands liquidity support for the long-term bond market.In a recent client report, Kendrick noted that Bitcoin's current key technical resistance level is $65,500. If the price breaks through this level, it could signal that the cyclical low for this market cycle has already formed. He suggested investors begin positioning for a Bitcoin rally to $100,000 by year-end. Kendrick stated that beyond the four-year cycle pattern for Bitcoin, which suggests the market may be nearing a bottom, the U.S. Treasury's recent announcement to expand long-term bond buybacks is also a significant catalyst.The U.S. Treasury plans to raise the cap on buyback operations for 10- to 20-year and 20- to 30-year Treasury bonds from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation. The expanded program is scheduled to be implemented from September 9 to November 4. Following the announcement, yields on long-term U.S. Treasuries notably declined, easing the pressure that the significant sell-off in the bond market had placed on financial markets.Kendrick believes the Treasury's expanded bond buybacks represent a "favorable environment for Bitcoin," as Bitcoin has previously benefited multiple times from government liquidity interventions, while its fixed supply mechanism gives it properties that hedge against currency debasement. In the market, Bitcoin rose over 6% on Wednesday, briefly approaching $69,000, marking its highest level since early June. Kendrick has previously been repeatedly bullish on Bitcoin's long-term trajectory, arguing that as global fiscal pressures increase and monetary policy trends toward easing, Bitcoin may enter a new long-term upward cycle.

Odaily Planet Daily: Crypto asset trading platform Bullish has announced its financial results for Q2 2026. The company stated that as global securities markets gradually migrate to public blockchains, Bullish is planning to build a comprehensive issuer-supported tokenized securities service system covering issuance, listing, trading, and tracking.Bullish CEO Tom Farley stated that the global securities market, valued at nearly $300 trillion, is transitioning to public blockchains, and Bullish aims to work with issuers to drive this process. Upon completion of the proposed acquisition of Equiniti, the company will form an integrated platform covering tokenized securities issuance, listing, trading, and tracking.Financial data shows that Bullish's Q2 digital asset sales reached $32.6 billion, down from $58.6 billion in the same period last year; the net loss was $280 million, compared to a net profit of $108.3 million in the same period last year, corresponding to a diluted loss per share of $1.78.However, the company's core business performance improved. Q2 adjusted revenue (non-IFRS) reached $92.6 million, up 62% year-over-year from $57 million in the same period last year; among which subscription, services, and other revenue hit a record $62.7 million. Adjusted trading revenue was $29.9 million, up 24% year-over-year; adjusted EBITDA was $29.5 million, compared to $8.1 million in the same period last year; adjusted net profit was $14.3 million, compared to a loss of $6 million in the same period last year.In terms of business progress, Bullish stated that the acquisition of UK fintech company Equiniti is progressing and is expected to be completed in early 2027, subject to customary conditions including regulatory approvals. Additionally, Bullish's CoinDesk indices continue to gain institutional adoption. Morgan Stanley has launched Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana-related trading products based on CoinDesk benchmark indices, attracting over $400 million in inflows during Q2.On the regulatory front, Bullish has received approval from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) to provide secondary trading services for tokenized securities, becoming one of the first regulated platforms to offer issuer-supported tokenized securities trading.The company has also raised and refined its full-year 2026 guidance, projecting subscription, services, and other revenue (non-IFRS) of $225 million to $245 million, adjusted operating expenses of $225 million to $230 million, and financing costs of $52 million to $60 million.

Odaily Planet Daily Report: "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity stated on the X platform that he remains bullish on memory stocks such as MU and Samsung. In addition, this week, the focus in the photonics sector has shifted back to AXT and Lumentum. The photonics industry has previously shown signs of supply tightness, with Coherent ($COHR) and Lumentum ($LITE) laser production capacity for the next two years already sold out. AAOI's recent earnings report also showed continued strong demand for optical modules.Meanwhile, a large number of retail investors have been panic-selling in the storage sector. There are indeed some changes in the market at present, such as Nvidia's Rubin Ultra optimizing for memory, and memory prices no longer rising as significantly as previously expected. However, at current prices, the operating profit of storage companies relative to their market capitalization remains extremely compelling, especially given the structural growth in storage demand. Moreover, the supply-demand imbalance next year could become even more severe.Serenity noted that the market tends to panic when an industry declines and follows new narratives. For example, helium during the Iran war, the LNG market, and SpaceX's earnings call, which once again emphasized storage supply tightness. Many times, industry bottlenecks and fundamentals haven't changed significantly, but market sentiment has already undergone a massive shift.
Odaily News - Traders are showing strong demand for options betting on further gains in the S&P 500. On Tuesday, call option volume on the benchmark index surpassed 4 million contracts, setting a new all-time high, while put option volume remained in line with the average.Jason Coogan, a trader at Simplex Trading, noted that over the two days through Tuesday, the market experienced a "one-way order flow" situation. Analyst Tanvir Sandhu said: "The options market is reflecting investors' FOMO (fear of missing out on the rally) sentiment. Investors currently appear more concerned about missing the next leg up than about guarding against a market pullback, as evidenced by significant shifts in options skew. Even as the stock market continues to climb, strong demand for call options is still underpinning implied volatility."
