Altseason is near, but is the crypto market ready for another 2021-like surge？

As the crypto market shows visible signs of recovery from its bearish slump, CryptoQuants on-chain and technical analyst, Darkfost, has shed light on the altcoin market.　　The analyst highlighted how the altcoin market has suddenly shown several signs of shifts from a prolonged bearish phase into an early bullish phase.　　Could mid and small-cap altcoins could drive the altseason？　　According to the analyst, between 19th and 22nd August, the total market cap of altcoins excluding Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum, aka Total2, increased by about $215 billion. This marked a 24% hike in just three days, taking the market cap back above the $1 trillion-level.　　Remarking on the same the analyst said,　　Mid and small caps in particular rose the fastest　　The on-chain metric 200-day moving average (DMA) further confirmed this sentiment, with the altcoins outpacing the indicator. Here, its worth pointing out that back in November, roughly 80%–85% of Binance-listed altcoins were trading below their 200-DMA.　　Source: CryptoQuant　　At the time of writing though, around 56% of those altcoins were trading above their 200-DMA. This implied that more than half are now once again showing bullish long-term price structures.　　Such a major shift pushed DarkFost to ask a very genuine question…　　Did Trump just kick off altseason？　　The answer to this

India to launch first tokenized corporate bonds using digital rupee

India has set plans to launch its first tokenized corporate bonds next month through an REC issue of less than 5 billion rupees ($57 million), with the digital rupee set to settle transactions on blockchain-based infrastructure.　　Reuters reported on Aug. 25, citing three people with direct knowledge of the matter, that state-owned power financier REC will issue the bonds as part of a pilot being developed with the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India.　　The planned issuance will test whether distributed ledger technology can shorten the process of issuing, recording and settling corporate debt. Ownership and transaction records will be maintained digitally, allowing settlement to take place almost immediately once the required assets move between participants.　　One person familiar with the plans told Reuters that the offering is expected to be unveiled during an annual financial technology event in Mumbai next month. Access will initially be restricted to a limited group of investors while regulators test the system.　　“The offering would be made available to only a select group of investors at the pilot stage,” the person said.　　Reuters could not determine which investors will participate. The RBI, SEBI and REC did not respond to requests for comment.　　Tokenized corporate

U.S. expands Iran crypto sanctions over $100M oil payments

The U.S. Treasury expanded sanctions to Iran‘s digital asset sector on Aug. 24, giving the Office of Foreign Assets Control broader authority to target foreign companies and individuals supporting the country’s cryptocurrency industry.　　The measure accompanied sanctions against nearly 60 entities, individuals and vessels across Iran-linked nuclear, missile, cyber and oil networks. Treasury also accused UAE-based broker Ivan Obukhov of processing more than $100 million in cryptocurrency for oil sales linked to Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force.　　Iran crypto sector becomes a sanctions target　　The new OFAC determination places digital assets among five additional sectors covered under Executive Order 13902. The others are technology, gold, aviation and shipping.　　OFAC can now sanction any person determined to operate in Iran‘s digital asset sector or provide services supporting it, regardless of where that person is located. The determination took effect on Aug. 24, according to OFAC’s official notice.　　Treasury described cryptocurrency as an increasingly common tool for moving money outside conventional banking channels.　　“The Iranian regime increasingly turns to cryptocurrency as a tool of choice for sanctions evasion,” Treasury alleged.　　The determination does not automatically sanction every crypto company serving Iranian users.

Block Bits Capital founder convicted in nearly $1M crypto fraud

A federal jury has convicted Block Bits Capital co-founder Japheth Dillman of wire fraud and conspiracy after prosecutors said more than 20 investors lost nearly $1 million in a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading fund.　　The U.S. Department of Justice said on Aug. 24 that the 48-year-old San Francisco resident was found guilty following a 10-day trial before U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in the Northern District of California. Dillman remains free on bond and is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8.　　Court evidence showed that Dillman helped raise money for Block Bits Capital between June 2017 and August 2018 by giving investors false information about the funds trading technology and performance. Prosecutors said Dillman and a co-conspirator promoted an automated cryptocurrency trading program called the “Autotrader” as a completed and functioning product.　　The software was supposed to generate returns by automatically trading digital assets, but Dillman knew the algorithm did not work as represented, according to evidence presented at trial. Investor money therefore could not be deployed through the automated strategy investors had been told the fund would use.　　Block Bits Capital investors were sold a non-working trading tool　　While raising capital, Dillman and his associates presented Block Bits Capital as a fund capable of

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #7: UPbit — Kimchi Premium Is Gone, Trading Volume Has Collapsed, Regulators Are Watching Closely. Has UPbit’s Golden Era Come to an End?

Introduction: The “Kingpin” of South Koreas Crypto Market　　In previous episodes, we investigated:HashKey — the “compliance top student”;HTX — the “sanctions disaster zone”;UZX — the “DAO penny stock”;Phemex — the “Wall Street elite team”;Tapbit — the “MSB license sticker king”.　　Todays subject is a true heavyweight player:　　UPbit.　　Among global crypto exchanges, UPbit is a unique existence.　　It is not a global nomadic giant like Binance, nor is it a U.S.-listed company built around regulatory compliance like Coinbase.　　UPbit is more like a regional crypto kingdom in South Korea.　　Inside South Korea, it dominates the market with more than 70% market share, becoming the “crypto bank” and “faith platform” for Korean retail investors.　　But on the global stage, UPbits influence is far smaller than its actual trading volume would suggest.　　From 2025 to 2026, UPbit experienced what can only be described as a roller-coaster year:In February 2025, South Koreas Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) imposed a three-month business suspension on UPbit;In May 2025, its CEO, who had led the company for eight years, suddenly resigned;In the same month, South Korean internet giant Naver announced a $10.3 billion stock-swap acquisition of UPbits parent company, Dunamu;In April 2026, a court overturned FIUs suspension order;In 2026, Navers acquisition deal was delayed twice and

BNB Chain activates Pasteur hard fork on mainnet

BNB Chain activated the Pasteur hard fork on BNB Smart Chain mainnet at 02:30 UTC on Aug. 25, introducing three changes focused on bridge security, validator authorization and block capacity.　　The network confirmed that Pasteur was live following its scheduled activation. BSC continued producing blocks at its existing 450-millisecond interval, with no major disruption publicly reported immediately after the upgrade.　　Pasteur combines BEP-682, BEP-695 and BEP-675 under the broader BEP-673 upgrade plan. The changes had operated on BSCs Chapel testnet since July 21 before reaching mainnet.　　BNB Chain Pasteur strengthens bridge verification　　BEP-682 changes how BSC verifies light blocks submitted through cross-chain infrastructure. Before Pasteur, the verification process did not explicitly reject duplicate entries in a submitted validator list.　　Pasteur hardfork is now live on BSC Mainnet.　　The upgrade strengthens bridge, staking and governance security, while giving blocks more room to carry transactions at the same 450ms block time.　　Read the full upgrades ????https://t.co/41QWQh1GGL pic.twitter.com/mTTnRb9PNk　　— BNB Chain (@BNBCHAIN) August 25, 2026　　A crafted request could therefore include the same validator more than once. Counting those entries separately risked making a bridge approval appear to have support from more independent validators than it actually did.　　Pasteur rejects repeated validator entries before calculating whether the required voting threshold has been reached.
