Bitcoin hits $79.4k, but a whale-driven wave of selling could be next – Reasons

Bitcoin　　Bitcoin hits $79.4k, but a whale-driven wave of selling could be next – Reasons　　The high amount of sidelined capital suggested investors were not fully sold on the current Bitcoin [BTC] rally. The accelerating rate of net institutional demand was the highest it had been since 2025, AMBCrypto reported recently.　　Yet, the cautious market sentiment was warranted, data showed.　　Whale activity and compressed Open Interest help explain wary BTC investor outlook　　The exchange whale ratio measures the relative size of the top 10 inflows to the top 10 outflows from the exchange. The moving averages help smooth out the data for cleaner interpretations.　　Source: CryptoQuant　　In a CryptoQuant Insights post, analyst Crypto Onchain observed that the 100-day simple moving average of the Binance Bitcoin Whale Exchange Ratio had reached an all-time high of 0.494.　　As the ratio rises, it signals increasing whale deposits onto the exchange. The 100-day moving average on the rise meant the inflows were sustained and not random noise.　　Therefore, despite the recent price bounce, the high whale ratio meant that traders and investors must be cautious of a whale-driven wave of selling.　　Capital inflows to Bitcoin are needed to keep the trend goingSource: Axel Adler Jr　　Analyst Axel Adler Jr observed that the futures Long/Short liquidations

Shiba Inu Whale Accumulation and Rising Open Interest Signal Breakout

Shiba Inu is at $0.000006261 at the time of writing, navigating a tense technical setup where derivatives activity is accelerating, and large holders are positioning for a move. The meme coin remains under significant macro pressure but is showing signs that sophisticated traders expect a directional break.　　The broader trend is undeniably negative. SHIB sits roughly 17% below its and is down 24.6% year-to-date. Its annual decline stands at 54.15%. These figures set a difficult backdrop for any bullish narrative.　　Short-term signals, however, offer a more nuanced picture. SHIB gained 1.7% over 24 hours. Its RSI remains neutral at 54.45, and the 24-hour MACD has flipped bullish. Weekly performance is nearly flat at 0.1%, but that stagnation coincides with a sharp uptick in derivatives activity, a combination that rarely goes unnoticed by market observers.　　Open Interest Climbs as Spot Volume Fades　　The most telling data point is the divergence between open interest and spot volume. SHIBs open interest rose to $37.63 million, a 15.73% weekly gain. Spot volume, by contrast, dropped 11.49% to $32.99 million over the same period.　　This split matters. Futures traders are building positions while spot buyers step back. The result is what analysts describe as a leveraged consolidation, price stays range-bound

The Accidental Conversation That Became Fuutura

The architectural choice that gives Fuutura its character is harder to see from the outside but is the part Oliver and Ellis spent the most time thinking about. Most crypto platforms operate perimeter-compliance. Fuutura records verifiable confirmation of KYC and AML on-chain as an immutable identity attestation tied to the users wallet. Every interaction with the platform, opening the wallet, accessing the exchange, executing a trade is gated by the presence of that attestation at the smart-contract level. The result is compliance that is enforceable on every transaction and auditable by regulators at the on-chain level in a way impossible for perimeter compliance.　　That visibility is the posture Fuutura has chosen toward regulators. The company is building in a moment when governments across the Global South are writing digital asset frameworks for the first time, and the relationship between innovators and regulators in this industry is still being defined. Fuutura‘s view is that the platforms which earn regulators’ trust will be the ones that make their work easier, with architecture that is open to inspection by default and a company posture that welcomes the questions responsible oversight requires.　　Whether that approach proves out commercially is a question only the next few years

X Users Hate Crypto: Snooze Data Reveals Top Muted Topics

Crypto ranks as the most muted topic on X since the platform launched its new snooze feature. The data, shared by head of product Nikita Bier, signals growing user fatigue with the asset class.　　Users snoozed crypto posts more than politics, the Iran conflict, sports, and business content combined. The pattern marks the strongest feed-level pushback against any single category since launch.　　The most snoozed (i.e., muted) topics since launching the snooze feature:　　1. Crypto　　2. Politics　　3. Iran Conflict　　4. Sports　　5. Business & Finance　　6. Gaming　　7. Artificial Intelligence　　8. Videos　　9. Science & Technology　　Crypto Outranks Politics and Sports on Xs Mute List　　The snooze tool lets Premium subscribers temporarily hide selected topics from their For You feed. The feature also helps users tune their personalized recommendations. Bier said crypto sits at the top of the leaderboard, well ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, and sports posts.　　Premium accounts pay a monthly fee for features such as longer posts and larger edit windows. The new category-level controls give X a clearer read on what subscribers want to see less of.　　Gaming, artificial intelligence, and entertainment all fall further down the list. The pattern suggests that crypto fatigue has become a structural feature of feed behavior on X. The signal extends beyond a

Security, convenience, and reliability are the main priorities, especially for those who explore a range of platforms, including categories such as online slots. Many adults who browse online slots at different providers also take an interest in how payment systems work behind the scenes. Understanding the most popular payment methods helps players make informed decisions about how they manage their online activity.　　Debit Cards as a Leading Choice　　Debit cards remain one of the most widely used payment methods in online gaming. They are familiar, easy to use, and supported by virtually all regulated platforms.

Tech　　Ripple Opens New MEA Headquarters in Dubai DIFCRipple opened its new MEA headquarters inside the Dubai International Financial Centre DIFC.The expansion creates the capacity to double Ripples regional team to meet growing demand.Ripple became the first blockchain payments provider fully licensed by DFSA in March 2025.　　Ripple has opened a new regional headquarters for the Middle East and Africa inside the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the company confirmed Wednesday, creating capacity to double the size of its local operations as demand for regulated blockchain payment infrastructure across the region continues to grow.　　The move marks a step up from Ripple‘s existing Dubai presence, which dates back to 2020 when the company first established its MEA base in the emirate.

Copper: High prices curb near‑term upside – Commerzbank

Finance　　Copper: High prices curb near‑term upside – Commerzbank　　Commerzbank‘s Thu Lan Nguyen highlights that Copper’s supply surplus has widened to about 300,000 tons early this year as production expanded while demand stagnated. February saw a notable demand drop with prices near USD 13,000 per ton. The bank argues that recent rapid price gains and elevated energy costs limit Coppers short‑term upside potential.　　Surplus and weak demand cap rally　　“Data from the monthly report now shows that in the first two months of this year, the supply surplus actually increased by more than 100,000 tons compared to the previous year, reaching approximately 300,000 tons.”　　“However, the trend shows that while demand rose slightly in January, February saw a significant decline. The high price level – with copper trading around USD 13,000 per ton, nearly 40% higher than in February of the previous year – likely played a role here.”　　“The rapid price recovery in recent weeks, coupled with ongoing uncertainty due to persistently high energy prices, does not bode well for future demand trends. Therefore, we view the further upside potential for copper as limited, at least in the short term.”

Gold edges higher as USD weakens, higher-for-longer rates limit upside

In the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD maintains a bearish near-term bias as price holds beneath a dense cluster of moving averages. The Relative Strength Index has edged above the 50 line to about 52, which hints at a modest improvement in momentum but not yet enough to dislodge the prevailing overhead supply from these key averages.　　On the topside, immediate resistance is defined first by the 50-period SMA at $4,684, closely followed by the 200-period SMA at $4,685, with the 100-period SMA near $4,731 reinforcing a broader supply zone if a recovery extends. On the downside, the next notable cushion emerges at the horizontal support around $4,500, where a break would likely reopen the last leg lower, while holding above this floor would keep scope for further consolidation beneath the moving-average ceiling.　　Gold FAQs　　Gold has played a key role in human‘s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it
