🔔 ZachXBT flags JuCoin reserves as users report withdrawal delays

📌 Wu Blockchain reported that several users had raised withdrawal issues over the past week. ZachXBT also questioned JuCoin’s reported $511 million reserves, saying much of the value appeared tied to USDC and USDT issued on JuCoin’s own JuChain.

🌐 ZachXBT said multiple users reported problems withdrawing funds from JuCoin. The complaints arrived during a period of added concern around centralized exchange reserves and user access to funds. JuCoin attributed the delays to platform upgrades and restructuring, according to Wu Blockchain. The exchange’s explanation did not fully end concerns because users were also asking about reserve quality.

⚠️ “Multiple users have reported withdrawal issues on JuCoin over the past week,” Wu Blockchain said, citing ZachXBT’s comments. The issue remains developing. There has been no public proof that JuCoin is insolvent, but withdrawal delays often draw fast attention because users depend on exchanges to process funds on demand.

🔔 Ripple targets $1B revenue run rate without counting XRP holdings

❗️ According to posts shared by CoinMarketCap and crypto-focused accounts on X, Ripple expects to end 2026 with a $1 billion revenue run rate. The figure does not include XRP held on Ripple’s balance sheet. That detail matters because Ripple has long faced public debate over the link between its business and XRP. Garlinghouse’s target frames the company as a fintech infrastructure provider that aims to earn money from products, clients, and services, not from token holdings or sales.

🌐 The deal also supports Ripple USD, known as RLUSD. Ripple has promoted the stablecoin for enterprise settlement and collateral use. Recently, crypto news reported that Ripple is also adding RLUSD to new payment tools, including services tied to AI agents and machine payments on the XRP Ledger. Company materials point to custody, treasury management, and liquidity services as core offerings. These products target banks and firms that need faster settlement, account control, and access to digital assets through regulated processes, rather than retail trading.

❗️ XRP price forms multi-month falling wedge near $1 support as liquidations mount

📣 According to data from cryptonews price, XRP price dropped from around $1.07 on June 25 to $1.01 on June 26, extending its year-to-date decline to more than 40%. The decline accelerated as a $10.8 billion crypto options expiry triggered heavy volatility across digital assets and forced a wave of long liquidations.

⚠️ At the same time, sentiment surrounding the XRP ecosystem weakened after decentralized finance protocol Strobe Finance abruptly announced it would shut down operations.

🔖 The daily chart shows XRP trading at the lower edge of a falling wedge that has contained price action for almost a year. The pattern has compressed between descending resistance and gradually declining support, with the token now sitting close to the wedge’s lower boundary near $1.00.

🔗 Momentum indicators remain weak. The MACD has stayed below its signal line with histogram bars still in negative territory, while the Aroon indicator continues to favor sellers after Aroon Down climbed back toward 100 and Aroon Up remained subdued. Together, the indicators suggest bears still control the short-term trend even as XRP price approaches a historically important support zone.

❗️ What is the Coinbase Premium Index? U.S. Bitcoin demand gauge

➡️ One number tells you whether United States institutions are buying Bitcoin or backing away: the gap between the price on Coinbase and the price on the rest of the world’s exchanges. Here is how the Coinbase Premium Index works, why it moved markets in 2026, and how to read it without fooling yourself.

⚠️ Every market has a tell. In Bitcoin, one of the most watched is almost embarrassingly simple: the same coin trades on hundreds of venues at once, and the price is never exactly the same everywhere. Most of those gaps are noise. One of them is a signal, because of who trades where.

🔖 Coinbase is the exchange of record for regulated American money. Hedge funds, corporate treasuries, registered advisors, and, most importantly, the custodial and trading infrastructure behind the United States spot Bitcoin ETFs all route disproportionately through it. Binance and the other global venues carry everyone else. When Bitcoin trades richer on Coinbase than on the global market, someone in the American regulated system is paying up to buy. When it trades cheaper, that bid is gone, or has turned into supply.

🔔 Bitcoin price nears Fidelity’s power law support: Accumulation zone or missing catalyst?

📌 On his power law model, a logarithmic chart that bounds Bitcoin’s entire price history between an upper resistance curve, a middle trendline, and a lower support curve, the floor currently sits near 58,000 dollars. That lower line has caught every major Bitcoin bottom since 2015. Timmer’s label for the zone the market has now entered is unambiguous: accumulation. His caveat is just as unambiguous: he sees no catalyst for a reversal, and he is not calling a bottom.

⚠️ That combination, a historically reliable floor approaching and a strategist refusing to ring the bell, is the most honest summary of the Bitcoin market in July 2026. The asset is coming off its worst quarter since the 2022 bear market, spot ETFs just recorded their largest quarterly outflow since launch, the speculative premium that carried the price past 120,000 dollars last year has evaporated, and the fast money has visibly rotated elsewhere, first into gold, then into semiconductor stocks. And yet the two quantitative measures Timmer trusts most, the deviation from the power law trendline and the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio, have both sunk to depths recorded at exactly two prior moments: the 2018 low and the 2022 low. Both of those moments were generational buying opportunities. Both also felt like the end of the world at the time.

🔖 This feature takes the model seriously in both directions: what the power law actually says, why its track record earns attention, and why the missing-catalyst objection is not a hedge but the core of the analysis.

🔔 Ethereum price faces $2,000 test as oil surge revives rate fears

⚡️ Ethereum price has remained trapped below $2,000 as rising oil prices, renewed interest-rate concerns and BitMEX’s planned shutdown have tempered bullish sentiment despite continued spot ETF inflows. According to data from cryptonews, Ethereum price traded near $1,927 on July 23 after reaching an intraday high of $1,941. The token has recovered more than 27% from its June low near $1,514, but repeated failures around $1,955 have kept the psychological $2,000 level beyond buyers’ reach.

🔗 Rate traders have already adjusted their positions. The probability of a September Fed hike rose to 79% from 68% per data from the CME FedWatch tool. Expectations for the July meeting remain centered on no change, but another oil-led inflation increase could lift Treasury yields and pressure risk assets such as Ethereum.

🔖 U.S. equities also weakened after Alphabet raised its 2026 capital-spending forecast to between $195 billion and $205 billion. The company recorded negative free cash flow of $5.9 billion as quarterly expenditure doubled to $44.9 billion, while its shares fell in premarket trading.

📣 Brazil stablecoins face IMF scrutiny as crypto flows outpace capital

🌐 IMF has called for closer oversight of Brazil’s stablecoin market as cross-border crypto flows outpace traditional capital movements. The report says cross-border crypto transactions have increased faster than conventional capital flows and now require closer regulatory attention because of their growing links with the country’s financial system. The assessment says stablecoin purchases respond much more strongly to global financial shocks than traditional portfolio investment or foreign direct investment.

🔔 Based on the IMF’s analysis, purchases of dollar-backed stablecoins are two to three times more sensitive to external market events, raising concerns over how quickly international volatility could spread through crypto markets. Brazil has emerged as one of the world’s more active crypto markets, with stablecoins accounting for a significant share of digital asset activity. The IMF said the country’s crypto ecosystem has become increasingly connected with the traditional financial sector, making regulatory oversight more important as adoption continues to rise.

⚠️ The report acknowledges that Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) has already introduced measures to regulate crypto asset service providers. Even so, the IMF said several areas still need stronger rules, including customer asset protection, stablecoin issuance requirements, and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) standards.

📣 EU to revise MiCA rules in 2027 amid US stablecoin push

⚠️ European Union officials are preparing to revise the bloc’s MiCA crypto framework in 2027 as foreign stablecoin restrictions and faster U.S. rulemaking expose gaps in the existing regime. The planned revision would examine how MiCA treats stablecoins issued outside the European Union. Current requirements have prevented several foreign issuers from receiving authorization, limiting their access to regulated exchanges across the bloc.

💬 “Reopening the file seems unavoidable at this stage,” an unidentified European diplomat told Euronews.

🔗 The diplomat cited positions taken by European institutions, including the European Central Bank, along with changes in global regulation and digital-asset technology. No final proposal has been published. Any amendment would need to pass through the EU’s legislative process before taking effect. The consultation covers developments that have occurred since MiCA entered into application. Its deadline has been extended to Sept. 30, with crypto issuers, service providers, regulators, central banks and finance ministries invited to respond.

📣 Nigel Farage faces renewed probe over $6.7m crypto-linked gift

➡️ Nigel Farage has returned to the UK Parliament with 63.34% of the Clacton by-election vote, restarting an investigation into a $6.7 million gift and other support from two crypto-linked figures. The UK Parliament’s Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards listed Farage on Friday as the subject of an investigation into a possible “failure to register an interest,” with the case reopening after his return as Clacton’s Member of Parliament.

🔔 Parliamentary officials are examining a £5 million about $6.7 million personal payment that Farage received from Christopher Harborne, a billionaire investor who holds a stake in stablecoin issuer Tether. Based on the exchange rate used in earlier reports, the payment was worth about $6.7 million.

🔖 Harborne gave Farage the money before the Reform UK leader entered Parliament following the July 2024 general election. Farage initially described it as a “reward” for his work campaigning for Brexit before later calling it an unconditional personal gift.

📌 What is RSI? The overbought/oversold indicator explained

🔖 The relative strength index is one of the most widely used momentum oscillators in crypto trading, but most traders misread what it actually measures. This guide breaks down the RSI formula, explains how overbought and oversold signals work in practice, and covers the mistakes that turn a useful indicator into a losing strategy. Most traders learn RSI backwards. They start with the idea that 70 means “sell” and 30 means “buy,” treating the indicator like a traffic light for entries and exits. That mental model sounds logical, but it ignores what RSI actually calculates. The relative strength index does not measure whether an asset is expensive or cheap.

🌐 It measures how aggressively price has been moving in one direction compared to the other. Understanding that distinction is the difference between using RSI as a crutch and using it as a genuine analytical tool. RSI quantifies momentum by comparing the average size of recent up moves to the average size of recent down moves over a defined lookback period. The default period is 14, meaning the calculation considers the last 14 candles on whatever timeframe you are viewing.

📊 Average gain is the sum of all positive price changes over the lookback period divided by N. Average loss is the sum of all negative price changes (expressed as positive numbers) divided by N. Periods with no change count as zero for both. What this produces is a bounded oscillator. When gains completely dominate losses, RS becomes very large and RSI approaches 100. When losses dominate, RS approaches zero and RSI drops toward 0. A perfect balance between gains and losses produces an RS of 1 and an RSI of 50.

📌 Beyond the rally: 4 Trends to watch this cycle

🔔 Robinhood’s Chain launch highlights four crypto trends reshaping ownership, finance, money and AI-driven markets. When digital asset prices surge, market commentary tends to fixate on green candles and central bank policy. Yet, looking beyond the immediate rally reveals a deeper structural shift taking place on-chain.

⚠️ Robinhood’s CEO, Vlad Tenev, skilfully drew global attention to this shift with the launch of the Robinhood Chain, joining a broader movement of major platforms bringing mainstream retail equity investors directly onto native on-chain execution. Macroeconomic stress provides background fuel, but technological innovation provides the spark. Beneath the price action, four key trends are defining this cycle and reshaping how global wealth is owned, accessed, and stored.

📊 At a recent White House summit, Vlad Tenev summarised his platform’s mission in a single word: ownership. Broad asset ownership is essential to a free and prosperous society, and the Robinhood Chain is putting that principle into practice. Consider novel mechanics like The Index. Holding this single token automatically drops fractional tokenised equities directly into a user’s wallet. In a few clicks, crypto-native traders gain organic exposure to traditional stock portfolios, opening up meaningful diversification beyond crypto alone.

🌐 Coldcard hacker uses THORChain to swap stolen BTC

📣 A hacker associated with the third wave of Coldcard wallet thefts began converting stolen Bitcoin into Ether through THORChain on Sept. 3, according to Galaxy Research’s Alex Thorn. The transactions moved approximately 10% of the Bitcoin controlled by that attacker. Roughly 90% remained at its original addresses when he published the update.

🔖 Researchers traced the swaps through THORChain to a newly identified Ethereum address. Thorn said he shared the address with law enforcement, crypto companies and other organizations monitoring the stolen assets. However, not every transaction succeeded. Thorn said the hacker appeared to be experiencing technical problems while attempting to process the swaps.

🔔 The cause of the refunds was not immediately confirmed. Possible explanations include liquidity limitations, transaction settings or protocol safeguards, but no verified technical assessment had established the reason. The movement represented the first detected onchain transfer from the original addresses associated with the first three attack waves, according to Thorn. Analysts will now monitor whether the resulting ETH moves to centralized exchanges, bridges or privacy services.

🔔 Zcash price holds above $1,200 as sell signal appears

➡️ Zcash price traded near $1,216 on Sep. 10 after a seven-day rally of more than 50%, but overbought momentum, a three-day sell signal and nearby liquidation clusters raised the risk of a pullback. According to data from cryptonews, Zcash price was trading at $1,216.15 at the time of writing, down 2.26% for the session after opening at $1,244.18. The token traded between an intraday low of $1,204.93 and a high of $1,256.80.

📊 Despite the daily decline, ZEC remained one of the strongest large-cap crypto performers over the past week. Its price rose more than 50% from around $814 on Sep. 4 and briefly entered the $1,249–$1,257 area before buyers lost momentum. The breakout also placed Zcash above $1,000 for the first time in years. Price continued to hold more than $200 above the psychological level at the time of writing, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum faced broader selling pressure.

⚡️ Derivatives liquidations contributed to the initial acceleration. More than $34.5 million in ZEC short positions were reportedly closed during a 24-hour period as bearish traders were forced to buy back the asset. Short liquidations accounted for about 94% of the total cited liquidations. Forced buying helped ZEC clear resistance quickly, but the same leverage that drove the advance could increase volatility if traders begin taking profits.
