Crypto treasury stocks face $50B loss as shareholders revolt – What happened?

Investors who hopped into last years crypto boom are now turning up the pressure on digital-asset treasury (DAT) firms. In fact, both retail and institutional shareholders are now demanding greater accountability after losses across the sector reached roughly $50 billion.  According to Bloomberg, investors initially bought their shares because they expected the companies crypto holdings to rise in value. Along with this, they also expected that the stocks could sometimes trade at a premium to the value of the crypto they owned.  However, now that crypto prices and these stocks have fallen sharply, shareholders are questioning whether management is using their money effectively.  How an year changed the course of things?  In this shift, retail investors are becoming more vocal online, while institutional investors are pushing for changes through shareholder votes, takeover proposals, and challenges to compensation plans.  Here its important to note that the roughly $50 billion in cumulative losses mentioned is actually the decline in the value of these publicly traded treasury companies. And not $50 billion that shareholders necessarily lost in one particular event.  In this, the concerning part according to Artemis is that publicly listed DATs whose main treasury strategy focused on Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] have a combined fully diluted

Major Binance Warning: The Exchange Will Briefly Suspend Deposits and Withdrawals Next Week

Heres what is going to happen on Setpember 22.  Binance users should prepare for a temporary interruption to some main services at the start of next week due to scheduled maintenance.  On the bright side, the disruption is expected to last only about an hour, after which all operations should return to normal.  Cause for Concern?  Binance announced it will perform an infrastructure wallet upgrade on September 22 and, to support the process, will temporarily stop deposits and withdrawals. The company said token trading will not be impacted during the maintenance. It also assured that everything will return to normal once the system is deemed stable.  Such endeavors are quite frequent and shouldnt trigger panic across the community. Earlier this summer, for example, Binance briefly halted deposits and withdrawals on the Bitcoin (BTC) network to perform wallet maintenance.  Before that, it temporarily paused such operations on the Ethereum blockchain; other ecosystems affected by support for certain improvements include Cardano, BNB Chain, Tron, and others.  The outages have lasted from minutes to a few hours, with no reports of major issues or user complaints.  The Previous Updates  Just a few days ago, Binance disclosed that it will remove the following cross-margin pairs: ENJ/USDC, GENIUS/USDC, CVX/USDC, and VANA/USDC, as well as

Bitcoin holds firm after BOJ hike, with Sept. 24 ahead

The Bank of Japan announced a policy-rate increase to about 1.25% on Sept. 18, yet the visible Bitcoin and currency response showed limited signs of a disorderly yen-carry unwind.  The BOJ voted 7-2 to lift its target for the uncollateralized overnight call rate by 25 basis points, from about 1% to about 1.25%. The new target and related facility rates take effect Sept. 24, so the decision changed the policy path before it changed the official operating rates.  That separates a scheduled funding-cost change from the market‘s reaction to the announcement. Positions can adjust before implementation, and the BOJ’s next signal could matter as much as Sept. 24 because the bank tied further increases to its economic and inflation outlook instead of a fixed timetable.  Related Reading  Why Japans 3.8% bond shock is quietly setting a trap for Bitcoin  That distinction matters for yen-funded trades. Investors can borrow yen to buy higher-returning assets elsewhere.

CFTC Sends Crypto Rules to White House After CLARITY Act

The CFTC has sent proposed crypto market rules to the White House for review after the Senate stalled the CLARITY Act this week.  The agency submitted the proposal to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on Thursday. However, it has not disclosed which crypto assets, exchanges or activities the rules would cover.  CFTC Moves Ahead With Crypto Rules  The filing moves the proposal into the federal review process before potential formal rulemaking. After OIRA completes its review, the CFTC can publish the proposal for public comment before considering final rules.  Related: My “No” Vote on the CLARITY Act is to Protect Missouri Farmers – Josh Hawley  CFTC Chairman Mike Selig signaled Wednesday that the agency intends to continue its crypto rulemaking efforts.  “The CFTC is locked in and ready to ship its rules for the new frontier of finance,” Selig said.  The agency also issued no-action relief for certain software providers.

Hard assets are entering the age of scarcity – Are you positioned? [Video]

Across Metals, Energy and Agriculture, the resources the global economy cannot function without are becoming more expensive and harder to secure.  The common denominator is scarcity.  Commodity gains in 2026 suggest traders and investors are beginning to recognize what scarcity could be worth. The question is whether this is only the beginning.  Measured from their 2026 lows, the scale of the move is striking.  European Natural Gas has surged 204%. Heating Oil has climbed 149% and Diesel 136%. Gasoline has more than doubled, Jet Fuel has gained 98%, while WTI and Brent Crude Oil have advanced 85% and 82%.  Agriculture is being repriced just as aggressively. Cocoa has roughly doubled from its 2026 low. Rice has gained 66%, Wheat 45%, Cotton 41%, Sugar 35% and Corn 32%.  Soybeans are up more than 20%, while Arabica Coffee has surged 71% this year. Copper, Tin and Aluminium have also posted substantial gains.  Moves of this magnitude signal tightening physical markets and show capital is already being rewarded for owning scarcity.  “What makes 2026 so important is the breadth of the move,” says Lars Hansen, Head of Research at The Gold & Silver Club. “Scarcity premiums are appearing simultaneously across Energy, Agriculture, Metals and critical materials. That is the hallmark of

CFTC Files Crypto Market Rulemaking With White House at Prerule Stage

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission sent a crypto market structure rulemaking to the White House on Thursday, two days after the Senate refused to take up the bill that would have written one into law.  It is the only CFTC action pending White House review. Chairman Michael Selig said in August that the agency would use its existing authorities if the CLARITY Act stalled, and repeated it the day after the Senate vote.  The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs entry lists the action under RIN 3038-AF80, titled “Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets,” received Sept. 17. The entry records no legal deadline, marks the action as not economically significant, and flags it as a Dodd-Frank Act rulemaking.  The entry carries no abstract and no text. The CFTC has not published the draft, and the RIN has not appeared in a Unified Agenda.  Discover more  Digital Currencies  Finance  FINANCE  Prerule, Not A Proposal  OIRA classifies the filing at the “Prerule” stage.
