Raydium's 26% rally cools down below $1.80 — Is downside liquidity calling for RAY？

Raydium rallied on the price charts as the broader cryptocurrency market saw green across the board.　　In this case, the timing was particularly interesting. Especially since it followed Injective‘s Solana expansion which strengthened RAY’s fundamentals. To be specific, Injective‘s Solana launch introduced another potential source of trading activity for Raydium’s decentralized exchange.　　Reportedly, Raydium joined the rollout as a day-one liquidity partner, granting Injective assets immediate access to Solana blockchain liquidity.　　Here, it is also important to note that Raydium accounts for over 90% of memecoin DEX trading volume on Solana. In fact, its cumulative tokenized stock volume recently surpassed $5 billion on the blockchain.　　The aforementioned integration will also enable participants to trade Injective ecosystem tokens through Raydium, eventually funneling additional swaps and liquidity.　　For its part, RAYs price gained by 15.19% over 24 hours. Its trading volume simultaneously surged by 125.5% too, hinting at greater market participation.　　Are retail traders on board with RAY？　　While the altcoin‘s price action did surge, so did the retail Futures activity. This pushed trading frequency into the “Too Many Retail” area. In fact, this metric’s reading implied that smaller traders increasingly entered Futures trading as RAYs price pushed higher.　　Furthermore, the 90-day Futures Taker CVD also maintained taker-sell dominance across

Circle wants you to love USDC a little like you love Chelsea

Chelsea has found a cool new shirt sponsor whose main product is…a stablecoin？　　Related Asset USDC USDC · Stablecoin　　USDC is designed to be worth one dollar. Today, tomorrow, next Tuesday: one dollar.

Warren Buffett Steps Down After 60 Years

From “rat poison squared” to “stay away from it” – some of his remarks have been quite brutal. Yet, BTC‘s market cap is bigger than Berkshire’s.　　Arguably the most well-known investor of our (and the previous) generation, Warren Buffett, has formally stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway after more than 60 years at the company. He has now become Chairman Emeritus and remains on the board. His son, Howard G. Buffett, will succeed him as chairman, while Greg Abel continues to run the company as CEO.　　In the farewell letter to shareholders, the 96-year-old said the timing was right to “complete the transition,” praised Abel for fully taking control of the Berkshire empire‘s day-to-day decisions, and described his son as the guardian of the company’s culture and values.　　For us crypto folks, his retirement also closes the active career of one of Bitcoins most famous and persistent skeptics. The “Oracle of Omaha” has repeatedly dismissed the asset as speculative, non-productive, lacking intrinsic value, and unsuitable as an investment through the years. Here are some of the most famous.　　Rat Poison Squared　　Perhaps none is more Buffett-like than the 2018 comment when he described Bitcoin as “probably rat poison squared.” The remark followed years of

Anthropic IPO fuels nearly $80 million in crypto futures

Anthropics prospective $2 trillion IPO has already spawned nearly $80 million in crypto derivatives bets before its public debut.　　Open interest in futures linked to the Claude developer has climbed to about $79.27 million, close to a record $80 million, as traders position around what could become one of the largest initial public offerings ever attempted.

Polygon to burn 100M POL as revenue hits $24.5M, but will this help the token？

Polygon is prepping for the next crypto market bull cycle with an aggressive POL deflationary plan. In a post on X on Friday, Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal announced the project will permanently burn 100M POL tokens, citing impressive protocol revenue.　　Polygon is printing revenue. $24.5m YTD. We are deploying a change that lets anyone in the community trigger its burn.　　Nailwal noted the proposal is now awaiting the final Security Council sign-off to be implemented. Following the same, there will be manual quarterly burns.　　Polygons base fees add POL to its collector wallet.　　According to Nailwal, the collector currently holds 121M POL, worth about $1.2M. If the 100M tokens are burnt as planned, that will remove 1% of POL circulating supply from the market.　　Will Polygon‘s burns boost POL’s value？　　Polygon has aggressively repositioned itself for payments, especially stablecoin-based transfers. According to Nailwal, the traction and the generated fees are now 3x that of Arbitrum and 5x that of Near Protocol.　　In fact, according to DeFiLlama, Polygons collected annual revenue crossed $25M too, marking a two-year high.　　Source: DeFiLlama　　Whether the traction will hold steady in the coming months and fuel POLs burn rates remains to be seen though.　　In the meantime, POLs price surged by 10% on the

The Fed Hiked Rates and Bitcoin Went Up: Heres Why That Matters

The first Fed rate hike in over three years didnt bring BTC down for long.　　After the CLARITY Act setback witnessed on September 15, all financial eyes turned to the Fed a day later when the US central bank raised the key interest rates by 25 bps for the first time in over three years.　　This development is considered bearish for risk-on assets like BTC, especially when it came with a 12-0 vote by policymakers, and the cryptocurrency‘s price dipped after it became official. However, bitcoin rebounded swiftly, recovered the losses, and is actually велл in the green after the Fed’s move. Whats up with that？　　BTC Shrugs Off a Rate Hike　　The US Senates failure of the CLARITY Act pushed BTC to a multi-week low of $75,000, and the market anticipated another leg down if the Fed indeed hiked rates as expected on September 16. Although there was indeed a minor pullback, BTC shrugged off the losses almost immediately and turned them into gains as the week progressed.　　Nansen Senior Research Analyst Nicolai Sondergaard explained that the regulatory setback produced more significant volatility than the Fed for BTC, which held better than higher-beta assets like ETH and SOL.　　“Bitcoin rose on the day the Federal

The CLARITY Act Failed — So Who Regulates Crypto Now？

The CLARITY Act was supposed to answer one of cryptos biggest questions: which regulator controls which part of the market？　　Instead, the bill stalled in the Senate on Sept. 15 after failing to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. The result leaves the U.S. without the broad market-structure framework the legislation was designed to create.　　That does not mean crypto is suddenly unregulated.　　The SEC and CFTC were already coordinating on digital assets before the vote. In March, the two agencies signed an official SEC-CFTC memorandum of understanding aimed at clarifying product definitions, modernizing trading rules and developing a more coordinated crypto framework.　　U.S. crypto oversight remains split across multiple regulators.SEC vs. CFTC Is Still the Main Divide　　The SEC remains responsible for applying federal securities laws when a crypto asset, token offering or transaction falls within securities law.　　Earlier this year, the SEC issued new guidance covering areas including staking, mining, airdrops and when a non-security crypto asset can become part of an investment contract. The CFTC joined that interpretation and said it would administer the Commodity Exchange Act consistently with it.　　The CFTC, meanwhile, already oversees crypto futures, options and other derivatives.　　Its authority over the spot marketis narrower. For non-security commodities such as Bitcoin,
