The post RWA news: A DEX trader holds $1 million EUR/USD bullish bet for 400 Days appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The term “HODLing,” crypto slang for buying and holding an asset for a long time, has historically been associated almost exclusively with bitcoin BTC$62,946.60 and ether (ETH). One trader has now applied the same long-term approach to perpetual futures tied to the euro-dollar pair (EUR/USD) listed on the decentralized exchange (DEX) Ostium, which is powered by Nasdaq data. A trader has held a long position in EUR/USD worth $1,139,490 for 400 days, Ostrium said on Tuesday. The bullish bet, expecting the euro to strengthen against the U.S. dollar, was opened around early June 2025. EUR/USD traded above 1.14 as of this writing, largely unchanged from where it was in June last year, but it did rise as high as 1.2082 in January this year. Onchain FX trading offered by platforms such as Ostium, Gains Network, Synthetix, GMX, and others remains a very tiny fraction of the gl
The post Ethereum (ETH) Rises 8% Weekly: Is a Bigger Pump Coming Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
“ETH to $2,500 before September,” one analyst predicted. The second-largest cryptocurrency has rebounded from the local bottoms witnessed last month, and now multiple analysts believe the price is ready to jump even higher. Growing institutional interest supports the bullish thesis and could indeed pave the way for a more substantial upward move. $2K Comes Next? As of press time, ETH trades at around $1,750, representing an 8% increase over the past week and a 17% rise from its June low. X user Ted noted that the asset recently tapped the $1,820-$1,850 resistance zone but got rejected. At the same time, he highlighted ETH’s ability to hold the $1,750 support and predicted that a decisive breakout could open the door for a rally toward $2,000. Earlier this week, Poseidon claimed that ETH has formed a double bottom under $1,800 and wondered why some people expect a decline given

The post Bitcoin Climbs to $63,000 as Markets Shrug Off Iran Airstrikes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin News Bitcoin (BTC) climbed 1.2% to around $63,000 on Thursday as digital-asset markets shook off a fresh round of U.S. airstrikes on Iran, with our reading of the tape showing risk appetite tracking equities higher. U.S. forces struck 90 military targets in the latest escalation, yet Nasdaq 100 index futures added 2.6% over 24 hours and crypto followed. The move leaves Bitcoin roughly 9% above its June monthly close, extending a recovery that began at the start of July. On-chain flow data shows buyers stepping in from oversold territory, underscoring how quickly the market has priced past the geopolitical shock. The rebound followed a sharp reversal earlier in the week, when Bitcoin fell more than 3% to about $61,500 after President Donald Trump declared the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire over at the NATO summit. Ether and Solana slid alongside it as traders trimmed risk, w
The post Romance Scam Suspect’s Crypto Wallet Processed $122M: Interpol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A crypto wallet linked to a suspected romance-scam money launderer processed more than $122.5 million in 10 months, according to Interpol, as authorities expanded a global crackdown on online fraud. Interpol said Thursday that Thai authorities arrested two suspects and uncovered a money-laundering network that funneled proceeds from romance scams into cryptocurrencies, using cross-chain token swaps to obscure the trail. The Thai investigation was part of Operation First Light 2026, an Interpol-coordinated campaign targeting social engineering scams and the financial infrastructure used to launder their proceeds. The operation involved authorities in 97 countries and territories, resulting in 5,811 arrests and the seizure of $293 million in illicit assets tied to fraud and money laundering. Tomonobu Kaya, director of Interpol’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, said soc

The post Whales bought 270K BTC as ETFs bled $7B: Who wins? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In the two weeks around Bitcoin’s fall to a 21-month low, whale wallets absorbed roughly $16.7 billion of coins while the spot ETFs suffered their worst outflow month on record. The two most powerful forces in Bitcoin’s market structure are positioned in opposite directions, and the resolution of that disagreement is the Bitcoin trade for the rest of 2026. Here is the case for each side, and the tape that will settle it. Summary Bitcoin’s latest drawdown created a sharp split between ETF sellers and whale buyers. Spot ETFs posted record outflows while whale wallets accumulated roughly 270,000 BTC near the lows. The bear case is that ETFs have become a major supply source in Bitcoin’s new market structure. The bull case is that whale accumulation near capitulation levels has historically marked major bottom zones. The next clear signal will come from ETF flow trends, whale wallet behavior, f
