U.S. July CPI Data Released:The crypto market’s five-week “final exam” is finally here.

At 8:30 PM Beijing time tonight, the U.S. July CPI data will be released, and the current range-bound market may finally break out.  Heres the most likely scenario first:  Market consensus:Headline CPI YoY: 3.4%Core CPI YoY: 2.5%  Compared with the previous reading, inflation is steadily cooling — but not enough to trigger a major market shock.  So what happens to BTC?  ???? If CPI comes in as expected (around 3.4%) — highest probability scenario:BTC may push toward $64,500–$65,000, then likely return to its previous range.  Whales have accumulated more than $300 million in short positions above $64K — this is not a level to ignore.  ???? If CPI comes in lower than expected (3.3%) — biggest market impact:A September rate hike would be essentially off the table.  The dollar falls, Treasury yields decline, and BTC could ride the liquidity wave toward $67,000–$68,000.  ???? If CPI comes in higher than expected (3.5%) — worst-case scenario:The “stagflation trade” kicks in, which is the scenario risk assets fear most.  BTC could retest $62,000 or even $60,000.  The simple truth:  Todays market direction is not determined by whether the data is “good” or “bad” — it depends on how far the numbers deviate from expectations.  For BTC, keep an eye on two key levels:  ???? $64,500???? $62,500  Break above

Under the Deep Bear Market in Crypto: The Exchange Exodus Wave Is Here — Who Will Be Next? An In-Dep

The crypto market continued to cool down in 2026. Under the deep bear market, its not just retail investors getting wiped out — even crypto exchanges have started lining up to “meet their end.”  According to RootData statistics, more than 100 crypto projects have died in 2026, covering exchanges, Layer 1 blockchains, Layer 2 networks, and DeFi protocols. In just the past month, four well-known exchanges — AscendEX, EXMO, BitMEX, and BitMart — have successively shut down. However, this may only be the beginning.  2026 Crypto Dead Projects List(Source: RootData)  This wave of exchange collapses is different from what happened in 2022. Back then, it was an explosion: Luna went to zero within three days, FTX suffered a bank run, and Celsius froze withdrawals — the deaths happened almost instantly. In 2026, however, most platforms are dying from starvation. There are no major hacks, no mass withdrawals, and no law enforcement raids — the business simply stopped making money.  But “starving to death” is more frightening than “being blown up.” An explosion is a one-time event; if you avoid it, you survive. Starvation is a chronic illness. You have no idea which exchange‘s account balance is already too low to even pay next month’s

The Billionaire Who Fell Naked from the 30th Floor: A Profile of the Crypto Tycoon’s Mysterious Deat

At 4:30 a.m. on August 7, 2026, beneath the Jade Park apartment building in Asunción, Paraguay, the body of a naked man was found lying quietly on the ground, covered with a black plastic bag. He had fallen from the 30th floor. The apartment door on the 30th floor was left open, and the interior was found in complete disarray.  The 29-year-old Brazilian girlfriend, who lived on the 27th floor, told police officers who arrived to collect evidence:  “I dont know anything.”  The deceased was Harry Chun Tak Yeh, whose Chinese name was Ye Junde. He was an early Bitcoin OG who entered the market in 2013, when Bitcoin was still around $60. He was the founder of Quantum Fintech Group and the operator behind Tomb Finance. He once claimed to manage $2.4 billion in assets and pushed Tomb Finance to a peak market capitalization of $1.6 billion.  Then, the project went to zero — and so did the man.  This was not the first case, and it certainly will not be the last.  Today, we take a look at the “spectacular deaths” of major figures in the crypto industry over the past decade. We rank them based on levels of mystery, personal wrongdoing, and impact.

Crypto Exchange Exit Ranking: An Unprecedented “Great Escape” in the Crypto Industry!

In October 2025, Bitcoin had just touched its all-time high of $126,199 (according to Binance data) before suddenly staging a spectacular free fall from the sky. As the U.S.-China trade war reignited, the crypto market witnessed $19 billion in liquidations, with 1.6 million traders wiped out overnight. Altcoins suffered even more brutally, with most dropping 70%-80%, creating what many called a crypto version of “9/11.”  But the biggest contribution of this crash was not simply making investors lose money — it became a high-definition mirror exposing the truth. The exchanges that had been surviving on the bubble-driven bull market suddenly revealed their real condition overnight. Some disappeared, some shut down, and some turned against each other in public disputes. The drama became more spectacular in every case.  Even more shocking, in July 2026, three exchanges exited the stage within a single month: AscendEX, BitMEX, and BitMart all suffered major setbacks and withdrew from the battlefield. Combined with the exchanges that collapsed in 2025, including TradeOgre, XeggeX, and Tokenize Xchange, as well as earlier disasters such as JPEX and AAX, this is no ordinary bear market — it is a “Jurassic extinction event” for crypto exchanges.  After an exchange collapses, the biggest problem is

Binance vs. RedotPay: The $470 Million “Ex-Partner Revenge Saga” — Who Owns the Users in Crypto?

In August 2026, the crypto world was thrown into chaos.  The worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, filed a lawsuit against the three co-founders of leading crypto payment card company RedotPay in Hong Kong, seeking $472.8 million in damages. At the same time, Binance launched another legal action in Singapore against entities affiliated with RedotPay, with the hearing having concluded this morning.  On one side is Binance, the world‘s largest crypto exchange. On the other side is RedotPay, a rising star in Hong Kong’s stablecoin payment sector, widely known in the crypto community as the “Little Red Card”.  This is not an ordinary business dispute. In its lawsuit, Binance used a highly serious term: “fraudulent scheme.”  And at the center of this battle lies a question that every crypto user should pay attention to:  In the crypto world, who really owns the users?A $470 Million “Revenge of the Ex” Saga: Two Agreements, Two “Betrayals”?  The story begins three years ago...  In 2023, Visa stopped issuing Binance-branded cards in Europe, followed by Mastercard announcing the termination of its partnership with Binance. Binance‘s card service was gone, but users’ demand for spending crypto assets remained.  That was when RedotPay entered the scene.  Its product was simple: a crypto debit card connected to

Former 100x Token DEXE Crashes 97%: Why Are Small-Cap Coins That Surge During Bear Markets a Trap?

Recently, two prominent crypto figures on X, @blmario669 and @choc07_, highlighted the same issue: DEXE, once considered a potential 100x gem, plunged from $46.9 to $5.6 within a single day, an 88% drop. (It has since fallen to a low of $1.5, representing a 97% decline.) During the crash, a large investor reportedly suffered losses of nearly $1.7 million, equivalent to more than 10 million RMB.  The sharp decline in DEXE has drawn attention toward market maker DWF Labs, which was accused of using the Ceffu MirrorX mechanism to bypass on-chain monitoring and execute a large-scale sell-off.  For more detailed information, please refer to: @blmario669 and @choc07_.  DEXE operates in the decentralized social trading and asset management sector. In October last year, it followed the broader market downturn and dropped to a low of $0.136. However, starting in February this year, it went against the market trend and entered a five-month consecutive rally, reaching $49.4 on July 13. The token recorded a peak gain of more than 360x, making it a true “100x coin.” Its market capitalization ranking also surged from outside the top 100 into the top 50.  However, just seven days after reaching its all-time high, on July 21, DEXE suffered an

BitMart Accused of Running Away and Blocking Withdrawals? “Debt Recovery Alliance” Formed: Users Dem

Recently, a former BitMart employee publicly exposed allegations on X, claiming that BitMart‘s collapse was a premeditated scheme to take users’ funds and disappear.  According to the claims, before its alleged shutdown, BitMart used high-yield financial products to attract and collect approximately 40 million USDT from users. The platform has since reportedly refused withdrawal requests, especially large withdrawals. Even former employees allegedly had their crypto assets locked, while the company also refused to pay employee compensation and delayed some salary payments.  It can be said that BitMart has severely damaged its reputation this time — allegedly even betraying its own employees. If insiders cannot withdraw their funds, can ordinary users still expect to get their assets back?  Even more controversially, some allegations claim that BitMarts executives are planning to move to WooxPro and repeat the same alleged fund-raising and exit strategy.  A crypto blogger on X claimed that the BitMart incident has already been officially filed for investigation and is highly likely to be treated as a landmark case.  Exposé on X (Source: @silencefisher)  Users affected by BitMart‘s withdrawal restrictions have now begun organizing themselves and forming a “Debt Recovery Alliance” to demand the return of their assets. This matter is unlikely to end anytime soon.

A 12-Year Dormant Bitcoin “Ancient Whale” Makes an Emergency Move: Risk Avoidance or Being Hunted?

On August 4, 2026, late at night Beijing time, a strange ripple suddenly appeared beneath the surface of the crypto market.  A Bitcoin address that had remained completely dormant since 2013 — 18TExP — suddenly became active. 500 BTC (worth approximately $31.3 million) were transferred the moment the transaction was confirmed on-chain. This wallet had been asleep for a staggering 12 years and 8 months, making it even older than the birth of Ethereum.  500 BTC Transferred from the 18TExP Address (Source: CoinDesk)  Just as people began speculating whether this was the reappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto himself, another far more chilling backdrop emerged: Coldcard, known as the “fortress” of Bitcoin hardware wallets, had just been exposed with a critical security vulnerability, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of BTC being stolen.  The discovery process of this vulnerability further demonstrated both the power and the threat of AI. After the Coldcard team released a security advisory in late July, someone submitted the source code to Claude Code, an AI coding model, for review. The AI identified the exact line of code responsible for the randomness failure in just eight minutes.  The revival of an ancient Bitcoin whale and the fatal Coldcard wallet vulnerability happened

August Crypto Market Calendar: Will the “July Up, August Down” Curse Return? Will BTC Start with “5”

Bitcoin closed July with an approximate 7.26% gain (according to Binance data), injecting a much-needed boost of confidence into a market that had remained sluggish for an extended period. However, as the calendar turns to August, a long-standing “curse” in the crypto market begins to resurface — August has historically been one of Bitcoins worst-performing months. As shown below:  Summary:August has historically been one of Bitcoins weakest-performing months. Over the past 13 years, BTC recorded 5 monthly gains and 8 monthly declines in August. The median return was -6.99%, making August the only month with a negative median return among all calendar months.  Looking back at historical data, July has long been regarded as one of Bitcoin‘s stronger-performing months, often featuring a pattern of an early-month pullback followed by a rapid recovery. However, for investors, the key question is: after July’s rally, will August become a month of profit-taking and market correction?  A market saying that has circulated for years is: “July pumps, August dumps.”  Will this seasonal pattern repeat itself in 2026? Can Bitcoin continue pushing toward new highs, or will it face another round of deep correction?  The more direct question is: By the end of August, will Bitcoin hold above the $50,000
