Solana (SOL) is holding in a tight range in the mid-$70s, with price action flashing short-term weakness even as institutional positioning and on-chain activity point to an increasingly resilient ecosystem. The standoff is drawing attention ahead of the network’s upcoming ‘Alpenglow’ upgrade, which is expected to materially improve transaction ‘finality’ and strengthen Solana’s competitiveness in trading and real-time applications. As of Sunday ET, Solana was trading at $72.35, down 1.16% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. The token is down 5.43% over the past week,...

Ethereum’s staking market stayed in net outflow territory over the past week, even as the network’s annualized staking yield edged higher—an important signal for participants weighing locked capital against returns in a still-competitive yield environment. Data compiled by Dune Analytics contributor @hildobby shows that as of Sunday, Aug. 3 (UTC), total staked Ethereum (ETH) reached 41.37 million ETH, representing about 33.18% of the circulating supply. Since withdrawals were enabled following the Shanghai upgrade, cumulative net staking inflows stand at 19.20 million ETH, while net inflows...

Korea Digital Asset (KODA) said it has secured a dedicated digital-asset custody insurance policy with a coverage limit of up to $40 million, a move the firm described as the largest protection cap currently available in South Korea’s custody market. The policy, underwritten by KB Insurance, is designed to compensate clients if assets held in KODA’s custody are damaged, lost, or stolen. KODA announced the agreement on July 30 (Tuesday UTC), positioning the expanded coverage as a response to rising institutional expectations for operational resilience and risk management as South Korea’s...

Solana (SOL) hovered near $73 on Sunday ET, as U.S.-listed spot Solana ETFs notched net inflows on every trading day in July—an unusual streak that stood out against Bitcoin (BTC) funds, which saw net outflows over the same period. The combination of steady ETF demand and growing anticipation for the Solana Foundation’s upcoming 'Alpenglow' upgrade is reframing the narrative around SOL after a weak month for price performance. Market data cited in the report shows spot Solana ETFs attracting fresh capital throughout July, signaling sustained 'institutional demand' even as broader crypto...

Bitcoin (BTC) options positioning tilted bullish on both a medium-term and short-term basis, with call options leading open interest and trading activity. Still, puts retained a meaningful share of flow, suggesting the market is leaning toward ‘cautious optimism’ rather than outright exuberance. Data compiled by Coinglass at 12:40 a.m. ET on Aug. 3 showed total Bitcoin options ‘open interest’ (OI)—the notional value of outstanding contracts—at $24.651 billion, up 1.11% from $24.380 billion a day earlier. Total options volume over the same period stood at roughly $1.276 billion. By...

Futures positioning among top crypto traders showed only modest shifts on Sunday, but account-level indicators pointed to a sharper pullback in bullish exposure—most notably in Ethereum (ETH) longs held in USDT-margined accounts, according to CoinGlass data. Data published at 12:15 a.m. ET on Aug. 3 (based on 9:15 a.m. KST readings) suggested that while overall long-leaning positioning remained broadly stable across major tokens, the composition of leverage and the number of accounts holding long exposure diverged—often an early signal of changing risk appetite. USDT-margined longs steady...

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade in a tight range near $63,000 after a sharp correction wiped out its spring rally. The leading cryptocurrency has struggled to regain momentum following its rejection above $80,000 earlier this year, leaving traders watching for the next major move. On the daily chart, Bitcoins price action has entered a consolidation phase, signaling a temporary balance between buyers and sellers. BTC is hovering close to its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at around $63,950, suggesting short-term equilibrium rather than a clear bullish or bearish trend. Despite the...

Solana (SOL) continues to trade in a narrow range around $73, with the cryptocurrency showing signs of stability but still lacking the momentum needed to confirm a sustained recovery. Despite several weeks of consolidation, SOL remains trapped below key long-term resistance levels, keeping the broader market outlook uncertain. From a technical perspective, Solana is hovering near its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) while remaining below the 100-day EMA at $75 and the 200-day EMA at $79. These moving averages continue to act as strong resistance, suggesting buyers have yet to regain...

XRP remains under pressure despite several attempts to move higher, with the cryptocurrency trading near $1.08 as bearish technical signals continue to dominate. The token recently broke below a symmetrical triangle pattern that had been forming throughout the second half of July, signaling that sellers still have the upper hand. Although the downside breakout has not triggered heavy selling, it highlights the lack of buying momentum needed to reverse XRPs broader downtrend. Traders are closely watching whether bulls can regain control before the price slips toward lower support levels. From...
