The Most Important Packers: No. 4 — LB Edgerrin Cooper

Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper chases Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.  Getty Images  The Green Bay Packers were arguably the most disappointing team in football last year. And perhaps no one did less with more than Packers coach Matt LaFleur.  Green Bay headed into the 2025 season with one of the NFLs top rosters, then traded for star defensive end Micah Parsons 10 days before the year began. Suddenly, Packer Nation was dreaming of their first Super Bowl appearance since 2010.  Instead, Green Bay went a remarkably unsatisfying 9-8-1 overall and was the NFCs No. 7 seed for a third consecutive year. The Packers then blew a 21-3 halftime lead in the Wild Card round against Chicago, gave up 25 fourth quarter points and eventually suffered a shocking 31-27 loss to the arch-rival Bears.  “No way you should lose games in this league when youre up that much,” running back Josh Jacobs said.  Green Bay, which began the year 9-3-1, finished the season with five straight losses. The Packers now enter 2026 with the leagues fourth-longest losing streak.  Collapsing late in games was the story of Green Bays 2025 campaign.  Green Bay had double digit leads in the final minutes twice against Chicago and also vs. Cleveland

Is Vietnams new crypto framework the first step towards a ban?

In an unexpected turn of events, Vietnam unveiled one of its strictest frameworks for regulating cryptocurrencies to date. This does not imply that cryptos are prohibited in Vietnam though. On the contrary, it means that the nation is altering the manner and location of their trade.  For context, Vietnam lacked a fully regulated domestic cryptocurrency market. In fact, the majority of its users have up until now relied on international exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, or other offshore platforms.  Thanks to the recently issued decree (Decree No. 284/2026/NĐ-CP), the government hopes that trading will move from these foreign platforms to exchanges licensed by Vietnams Ministry of Finance.  After the rules go into effect on 1st September, anyone who keeps using unlicensed services could be subject to financial penalties.  How will this help Vietnams crypto ecosystem?  With its new regulations, Vietnam has made a significant transition from unregulated crypto adoption to regulated oversight. The government is forcing traders to switch to domestic platforms with licenses rather than outright prohibiting digital assets.  Unless they acquire local licenses or collaborate with authorized companies, the policy may restrict access to global exchanges.  Additionally, to prevent illegal activity and enhance regulatory oversight, the licensing framework will tighten anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer

$7 Trillion Wall Street Giant is Watching This Key Bitcoin Metric

Fidelity Digital Assets says the supply of Bitcoin (BTC) held by long-term investors has reached an all-time high.   Research analyst Zack Wainwright treats that cohort as one of the clearest reads on investor conviction. Fidelity says the long-term holder data appear consistent with on-chain metrics that are approaching past-cycle bottom levels.  Why Fidelity Watches This Cohort  The asset manager noted that nearly 15 million coins have now sat unmoved for at least 155 days. The post framed it as a signal for conviction.  That supply has historically expanded through bear markets and contracted through bull markets. It set its record on July 5, 2026, while prices stayed under pressure.  Nearly 40% of the cohort now sits at an unrealized loss. Most of these holders kept their exposure anyway, Wainwright wrote.  Bitcoin trades roughly 50% below its October 2025 peak of above $126,000. Earlier bear markets cut 70%, 80%, and even 90%. Wainwright reads that shallower decline as a sign of maturation.  “A variety of on-chain metrics are approaching levels historically associated with bitcoins market cycle bottoms. Whether these signals ultimately mark a turning point remains to be seen, but the long-term holder data appears consistent with that sentiment as well,” Wainwright said.  Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply Reaches
