The post LAB team burns $11M – Can price survive 46M token unlock hitting next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
LAB rebounded from a low near $5.68 earlier in July and rallied to a high of $18.32. After reaching that level, the altcoin faced rejection and entered a steep decline. The altcoin then recorded three consecutive lower daily closes and briefly fell below $1. At press time, LAB traded around $1.17 after gaining roughly 25% over the past day. Market Cap also climbed about 25% to nearly $366 million. However, the recovery came with an important caveat. Trading Volume fell more than 40% despite the price rally, indicating buying activity weakened even as LAB recovered. That divergence suggested the rebound may not have been driven by broad market demand. Why did LAB rebound? AMBCrypto attributed the rebound to a deflationary move by the LAB team rather than stronger organic demand.

The post XRP Funding Rates Turn Extremely Bearish as Open Interest and Market Cap Slide appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
TLDR: XRP funding rates on Binance have turned extremely negative, signaling heavy short positioning. XRP has dropped 70% since July 2025, though it remains above its historical lows. Open interest fell to $350.6 million as leveraged traders exit futures positions broadly. NVT ratio stays elevated at 162.86, showing network activity lags behind valuation levels. XRP funding rates have dropped to extremely negative levels as the token continues to trade under pressure. The broader altcoin market remains weak, with roughly 40% of altcoins sitting close to their all-time lows. XRP has avoided that fate so far, yet it has still lost around 70% of its value since reaching $2.45 in July 2025. Traders on Binance are increasingly positioning for further downside. Funding Rates Signal Extreme Pessimism Derivatives data shows that bearish sentiment toward XRP has intensifi
The post DeXe hits new ATH, targets $40 – THESE 2 indicators back bulls appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The post FDV vs market cap: Is a crypto token actually cheap? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A token can look cheap by market cap and be catastrophically expensive by fully diluted valuation, and the gap between the two numbers is where most crypto losses quietly begin. This guide explains market cap and FDV, why the difference matters more than either number alone, how token unlocks turn FDV into future selling pressure, the low-float high-FDV trap that defined a market cycle, and how to read both numbers before you buy. Two traders look at the same token. The first checks its market capitalization, sees a modest number, and concludes the token is cheap with room to grow. The second checks its fully diluted valuation, sees a figure ten times larger, and concludes the token is a time bomb of future selling. They are looking at the same asset, and they are both reading real numbers. The gap between what they see is one of the most important and least understood concepts in crypto
A token can look cheap by market cap and be expensive by FDV. What both numbers mean, how unlocks turn FDV into selling pressure, and the low-float trap.
The post Altcoin Whale Transactions Surge: MANA Up 833%, PENDLE 800% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
When a metaverse token and a DeFi yield protocol suddenly top the whale activity charts, something is shifting in the order books. According to the on-chain update from Santiment, Decentraland’s MANA saw a 833% weekly increase in the number of whale transactions over $100,000. Pendle on Arbitrum wasn’t far behind at 800%, followed by a mix of stablecoins and smaller-cap tokens. The data highlights a sudden repositioning by larger wallets across a set of assets that don’t usually dominate whale activity rankings. USAT jumped 400%, MakerDAO’s DAI on Optimism also rose 400%, Telcoin climbed 350%, and Virtuals Protocol’s VIRTUAL recorded a 300% increase. Even stablecoin transfer counts spiked—MakerDAO’s USDS, for example, moved 154% higher in large transaction count. The screener, which tracks divergences in on-chain metrics, underscores how rapid shifts in whale behavior can signal un
The post RBI Ban Talk Returns: What It Means for Altcoin Access appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
India’s crypto debate just snapped back into focus. If you’re wondering whether altcoin access will get tougher, the short answer is yes, and the reasons are more structural than headline-driven. This piece breaks down what the Reserve Bank of India’s latest stance means day to day. We’ll get into banking rails, stablecoin premiums, enforcement heat, and the real choices Indian users and builders face over the next few months.
Editor’s note: Over Q1 and Q2 this year I watched INR stablecoin quotes slip away from spot FX on multiple P2P channels. After the ED headlines, a couple of OTC desks I speak with widened spreads and raised size minimums for a bit. Local exchanges also got more conservative around listings and payment options. None of this screams panic, but it does say the path of least resistance is narrowing. My own take is simple: the policy overhang is now the main driver o
The post Elon Musk Bets SpaceX Will Outvalue Earth, SPCX Says Not Yet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Elon Musk once again captured investor attention with a blunt claim on X. He said SpaceX “will be worth more than the rest of Earth” if the company accomplishes its long-term goals. Here is what Musk means, how the market values SpaceX today, and why the vision matters. What Musk’s Bold SpaceX Claim Actually Means Market cap is the total value of a company’s outstanding shares, calculated by multiplying its share price by the number of shares outstanding. Musk is not describing SpaceX’s value today, but a far larger future potential tied to a space-based economy. Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens. You don’t seem to understand that SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if we accomplish our goals — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 9, 2026 His reasoning traces back to a January 2026 post. There, Musk argued that space industries “will vastly exceed the value of
