On-chain data shows a foundation-linked wallet quietly accumulating more than 355 million ENA in about three weeks, largely via withdrawals from a Bybit hot wallet. This sustained buyback activity is a powerful signal of confidence, but it also raises important questions about treasury strategy, token supply, and how holders should interpret large institutional flows.

Fresh on-chain data shows that short-term Bitcoin holders have sharply reduced the amount of coins they send to exchanges at a loss, falling from around 67,000 BTC at the recent peak to roughly 11,600 BTC today. This quiet phase does not guarantee an immediate trend reversal, but it does suggest that one of the main sources of downside pressure is finally taking a step back.

Recent USDT netflow data on decentralised exchanges shows that the heavy selling seen near Bitcoin’s prior highs has eased, with buy and sell volumes now oscillating in a much tighter band.

Binance now holds around 2.7 billion XRP, one of the lowest readings ever recorded for the exchange. Many observers view shrinking reserves as a constructive sign, but the full story is more nuanced once flows, liquidity, and market structure are taken into account.

Coinbase is no longer content with being the blue-chip crypto on-ramp. With US-listed perpetual futures up to 10x leverage, the acquisition of Deribit, plans to add stocks and commodities, a regulatory green light for stablecoins under the Genius Act, and a push into SME banking, the company is trying to become an everything exchange. The upside is a dominant position at the intersection of markets and money. The downside is that it starts to look a lot like a systemically important financial institution in regulators’ crosshairs.

Aave Labs has launched Aave App, a retail savings application that wraps DeFi yields in a bank-like experience, advertising a 5% base rate with boosts up to 9% APY, second-by-second compounding and balance protection up to 1 million dollars. Behind the marketing is a serious attempt to connect more than 12,000 banks and debit cards to one of DeFi’s largest lending protocols and challenge both high-yield fintechs and traditional savings accounts.

Aave and Curve Finance became blue-chip pillars by prioritizing risk-managed collateral and deep, stable liquidity. Agoralend claims a different path: permissionless markets for almost any ERC-20 (from stablecoins to memecoins), dual P2P/P2C matching, multi-chain reach, audits, and a buyback-and-burn token model. We dissect the architecture, incentives, and risk plumbing that must work for AGORA to scale without repeating DeFi’s long-tail collateral blowups.

HMRC has proposed a new DeFi tax framework that would delay capital-gains tax until users actually dispose of their tokens, instead of triggering tax events every time they lend, borrow or provide liquidity. The key idea is a ‘no gain, no loss’ rule for many on-chain transfers, a change that could make life much simpler for UK crypto users while still keeping the tax net in place when real economic gains are realised.

Rumors are swirling that the U.S. Treasury and IRS have rolled out special tax preferences for crypto companies without Congress. Our fact-check finds no official record of broad, affirmative tax breaks; the public record in 2024–2025 centers on broker reporting rules and a congressional rollback of an IRS effort to classify certain DeFi actors as brokers. Still, even the *idea* of executive-branch tax tweaks is enough to move boardroom plans. We map what’s real, what’s plausible under existing authority, and how crypto businesses should prepare for either outcome.
