Avalanche Foundation Eyes $1 Billion Crypto Treasury Push: FT

Image
The Avalanche Foundation is in advanced talks to launch two crypto treasury companies in the US as part of a $1 billion fundraising push. That’s according to a Financial Times report that said one deal, led by Hivemind Capital with SkyBridge’s Anthony Scaramucci as an adviser, aims to raise up to $500 million through a Nasdaq-listed company. Another $500 million raise is being planned via a special purpose acquisition vehicle backed by Dragonfly Capital, the report said, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The story said the deals are expected to close in the coming weeks.  Both of the companies will then purchase millions of AVAX, which is the native token of the Avalanche blockchain, at a discounted price, the report said.  Analysts Warn Crypto Treasury Companies Are At Risk The AVAX treasury plan comes as analysts warn that digital asset treasury companies (DATs) are facing risks from falling crypto and share prices that are compressing premiums a...

Avalanche Gains 10% While Market Plateaus: Can It Sustain?

Image
Avalanche (AVAX) is trading in the green zone across all time frames. As CoinGecko’s AVAX data reveals, the asset has rallied 3.8% in the daily charts, 10.1% in the weekly charts, 9.8% in the 14-day charts, and 10.1% over the previous month. AVAX’s rally comes amid other major assets facing slight corrections or plateauing. Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $113,000 mark on two occasions this month, but has fallen to the $111,000 price point. Ethereum (ETH) is also facing substantial resistance at the $4300 level. AVAX seems to be making better progress than the two largest crypto projects by market cap. In this price prediction article, let’s discuss if Avalanche can sustain its rally or if it will face a correction. Source: CoinGecko Avalanche Price Prediction: Continued Rally or Correction?

Early Ethereum Investor Turns $310k Into $4.3 Billion

Image
Getting in early has more often than not paid off with big returns and profits. One great example is of an early Ethereum ICO (Initial Coin Offering) participant who received 1 million ETH tokens worth about $310,000. Today, the coins are valued at around $4.3 billion. The Ethereum billionaire’s wallet was dormant for eight years before waking up recently to stake 150,000 ETH tokens worth about $656,000. NEW: An early Ethereum ICO participant that has been dormant for 8 years just staked 150,000 $ETH worth $656M. He originally received 1M $ETH worth $310K via 3 wallets during the ICO, now worth $4.3B. pic.twitter.com/cUci5Jqpis — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) September 5, 2025 Can You Still Make It Big With Ethereum?

Coinbase thinks vibe-coding 50% of its platform is a good idea

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has faced a barrage of ridicule after posting on X that 40% of code written for his crypto exchange is “AI-generated,” and he wants this to rise to more than half by next month. The somewhat arbitrary metric has drawn criticism and derision from across an industry all-too-familiar with the risks that hastily put together code can bring. ~40% of daily code written at Coinbase is AI-generated. I want to get it to >50% by October. Obviously it needs to be reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use AI-generated code. But we should be using it responsibly as much as we possibly can. pic.twitter.com/Nmnsdxgosp — Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) September 3, 2025 Read more: Coinbase torched by crypto community for US army parade sponsorship Armstrong’s recognition that AI-generated code should be “reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use [it]” seemed insufficient to calm suspicions that...

BitMEX invested heavily in US lobbying before its pardon

While the importance of Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has waxed and waned over the last decade, one thing that won’t change is the fact that its founders — and the exchange itself — were charged with and pled guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. In fact, the crimes, as outlined by the Department of Justice, actually suggested that the founders had specifically designed the exchange “to flout US anti-money laundering rules.” However, despite this, in March, founders Arthur Hayes, Samuel Reed, and Ben Delo, and, for the first time in history, a company itself (BitMEX), were pardoned by President Donald Trump. Few can argue that being involved with crypto seemingly benefits a criminal while Trump’s administration is in control, with Howard Lutnick proclaiming Trump the “crypto president” and crypto pump-and-dumpers and scammers getting personal invites to the White House for dinner . What could ultimately be more important for BitME...

XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Token Under Pressure As Analyst Alleges Binance Is ‘Manipulating’ XRP In ‘Coordinated War’

Image
The XRP price has dropped more than 1% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.81 as of 4 a.m. EST on a 13% increase in the daily trading volume to $6.56 billion. The drop in the Ripple token comes as crypto analyst Pumpius accused Binance of dumping XRP to stop its price from rising. In a viral post that has received more than 196k views, Pumpius said the exchange used sudden liquidity drains and large sell orders to block rallies, even after Ripple received positive news. “Binance isn’t just dumping crypto, they’re deliberately manipulating XRP’s price,” Pumpius said. “This is a coordinated war.” 🚨 BINANCE IS DUMPING $XRP 🚨 Massive sell pressure. Sudden liquidity drains. Charts spiking red. But here’s the part the peasants don’t get: Binance isn’t just dumping crypto, they’re deliberately manipulating XRP’s price. This is a coordinated war. 🧵⚔️ pic.twitter.com/bKLzHkONk2 ...
