RAIN surges 21% after $108M burn and Hyperliquid listing - Can it clear $0.0195？

RAIN spent most of July and part of the first half of August reversing Junes rally before settling between $0.0128 and $0.0139. That month-long range slowed the decline and has helped form a base for this new upswing.　　Over the last 24 hours, RAIN [RAIN] surged by 20.63%, reaching a high of $0.0176. This was after breaking through the resistance level that was previously formed by the range of $0.0165 to $0.017.　　Stronger volume accompanied the move, showing that participation increased as the price left its established range.　　Source: TradingView　　The rally then reached $0.019503, where selling pulled the price nearly 10% below the session high.　　Discover more　　Investors　　Merchant Services & Payment Systems　　Finance　　After this sell-off, however, RAIN still traded above the June high, which was the main resistance. This resulted in the token retaining the breakout and keeping it from reverting back to its prior trading range.　　The large upper wick on the bar clearly shows the presence of supply around $0.0195. Conversely, the $0.0165 – $0.017 zone serves as the closest potential support level.　　Therefore, going forward into their next sessions, RAIN will be trading with an established breakout but also a significant amount of overhead resistance.　　However, moving the price above $0.017 remains key to continuing to

Taiwan Dollar: Consolidation range with upside risks against US Dollar – Commerzbank

Commerzbank‘s Dr. Henry Hao and Charlie Lay highlight that Taiwan’s booming AI-driven exports and strong external surplus create a fundamentally supportive backdrop for the Taiwan Dollar (TWD). Despite robust Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and export growth, the Central Bank of the Republic of China (CBC) is expected to keep rates at 2%, intervening to smooth TWD appreciation. They expect USD/TWD to trade within a defined consolidation range near term.　　Discover more　　Finance　　investor　　NEWS　　Taiwan Dollar supported by AI boom　　“The latest data point to further upside risk to already exceptionally strong GDP growth. Q2 GDP expanded 12.9% yoy, and the government recently raised its 2026 growth forecast sharply to 11.05%, reflecting booming AI-related exports and investment.”　　“For monetary policy, the Central Bank of the Republic of China (CBC) is still expected to leave the policy rate unchanged at 2% at the next meeting on 17 September. Despite the stellar growth backdrop, inflation pressures remain relatively contained at around 2.1% this year.”　　“CBC confirmed that it intervened to smooth volatile capital flows in July. Year-to-date, TWD is broadly flat vs USD. Near term, we expect USD/TWD to consolidate in a 31.50-32.00 range, with risks tilted modestly to the downside if broad USD weakness persists.”　　“For USD/TWD, the macro backdrop

Strategy’s MSTR quietly outperforms Bitcoin’s $80,000 rally as STRC closes in on $100

Bitcoins sharp two-week recovery, which briefly pushed its value above $80,000, has brought Michael Saylors Strategy BTC treasury back into profit and lifted its common stock faster than the cryptocurrency.　　Related Company Strategy Business intelligence software　　BTCs price rebound accelerated after the US Treasury moved to expand buybacks of longer-dated government debt, easing pressure on yields and weakening the dollar.　　Renewed optimism around US crypto policy, heavy short liquidations, and stronger demand for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds added further momentum to the upward move.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $78,474.23 24-hour change: down 0.58% 24H Down 0.58% 7D Up 14.99% 30D Up 20.79%　　As a result, Bitcoin briefly topped $81,000 on Tuesday, its highest level in more than three months, after spending much of the first half of August near the low-$60,000 range.

Solana Set a Record in Everything Except the Part Holders Care About

Cumulative Solana ETF inflows reached a record $1.22 billion this week, and Monday alone delivered $33.5 million. That was the largest single day of 2026 for the six US spot products.　　The run stretched to five straight sessions. Onchain activity set its own record at the same time, yet SOL price is nowhere near its record highs.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Solana ETF Inflows Reach a Record $1.22 Billion　　Farside Investors‘ data puts the cumulative net total across the US spot funds at $1.22 billion. Bitwise’s BSOL accounts for most of that figure.　　BREAKING: Solana ETF cumulative inflows hit a record $1.22B. $33.5M came in Monday alone.　　Concentration remains the caveat, however. BeInCrypto flagged the same single issuer concentration in mid-August, when weekly inflows jumped 70 times over.　　Flows have swung hard all year. Solana and Chainlink products staged an April ETF inflow rebound before the summer lull, and one six-day stretch this month produced no net movement at all.　　The funds began trading in late October 2025. Most of the cumulative total arrived in the first two months, after which the line flattened for roughly half a year. One product, Tuttles TSOL, has carried net outflows for almost the entire period.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Onchain Activity Climbs as Meme Coin Volume Returns　　The network processed

3 Things to Know About Revoluts New Euro Stablecoin

Revolut began rolling out EURR, its first euro-denominated stablecoin, on August 26. The launch starts with selected customers in Portugal, Poland and Denmark, with wider EEA availability planned later this year.　　But for European users, the obvious question is why use EURR when Revolut already offers USDC — or when users can simply keep euros in their account？　　Three Things We Know About Revoluts New Stablecoin　　Revolut does not actually issue EURR.Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg-regulated company owned by Stripes Bridge, issues the token. Holders can redeem EURR with Bridge at €1 per token.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Also, its clearest difference from USDC is currency exposure.USDC tracks the US dollar, so its value in euros moves with EUR/USD. EURR tracks the euro, letting users move euro-denominated value onto Ethereum or Polygon without first taking dollar exposure.　　However, this is still a tiny rollout.Bridges reserve page showed just 374 EURR in circulation at launch, backed by €374 in cash deposits. That makes EURR closer to a controlled pilot than an established rival to USDC.　　Note: Stablecoins have become the most in-demand product for banking platforms. In fact, 39 US banking groups are currently developing their own stablecoin network.　　What Revolut Still Hasnt Explained　　The biggest unanswered question is why the average Revolut

Hyperliquid group asks CFTC to allow energy perpetuals

Hyperliquid Policy Center and trade[XYZ] have asked the CFTC to permit regulated perpetual contracts tied to WTI crude, Brent crude, and Henry Hub natural gas after their markets recorded more than $500 billion in cumulative volume.　　Hyperliquid Policy Center and trade[XYZ] said in an Aug. 26 joint filing that U.S. regulators can bring energy perpetual contracts into regulated markets without waiting for new legislation.　　Submitted in response to a Commodity Futures Trading Commission review, the letter calls for a legal path covering contracts linked to West Texas Intermediate crude, Brent crude, and Henry Hub natural gas. trade[XYZ], the first major third-party market deployer on Hyperliquid, has offered such products since October 2025.　　Its markets have generated more than $500 billion in cumulative trading volume, according to the filing, which cited Bloomberg. The figure covers several asset classes available through trade[XYZ], including its energy products.　　Unlike dated futures, perpetual contracts do not expire. Traders instead make recurring funding payments designed to keep each contract close to the price of its reference asset, allowing a position to remain open without being transferred into a new delivery month.　　Energy perpetuals could fill weekend hedging gaps　　Continuous access formed a central part of the groups case, particularly when geopolitical events

A 2,712 BTC treasury company just lost its Bitcoin strategy chief with no successor named

The Smarter Web Company, which reported holding 2,712 BTC earlier this month, said Jesse Myers, Head of Bitcoin Strategy, will leave on Sept. 1 while its Bitcoin Treasury Policy remains unchanged under board oversight.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $78,474.23 24-hour change: down 0.58% 24H Down 0.58% 7D Up 14.99% 30D Up 20.79%　　The Aug. 25 notice did not give a reason for Myers‘ departure, name a successor or say how his responsibilities would be reassigned. Those unanswered questions matter because Myers held a documented operational role in the company’s Bitcoin strategy.　　In January, Smarter Web identified Myers as part of the senior executive team responsible for day-to-day management of the group. His remit included implementing the treasury strategy, improving Bitcoin per share, managing its data and analytics repository, and producing investor materials and relations work.　　The board, however, retains overall authority for management, strategy and risk. Smarter Web said directors regularly review the Bitcoin Treasury Policy and monitor the companys market value relative to its Bitcoin holdings when considering capital deployment.　　That leaves the strategic accountability clear but the operating handoff unresolved. Neither the departure notice nor the company‘s current team roster identifies who will take over Myers’ duties after Sept. 1. That
