Can the AAVE Token Really Hit $3,500？

Maybe, but only if almost everything goes right over more than four years. The $3,500 figure is one banks bull case, not a forecast you can set a watch by. Standard Chartered (@StanChart) believes $AAVE can reach that level by the end of 2030. With the token trading near $70 when the note landed on June 24, that target implies a move of roughly 50x. It is the kind of number that gets attention, so it is worth looking at what actually sits behind it.　　What Is Standard Chartered Actually Predicting？　　The call came from Geoff Kendrick, the banks global head of digital assets research, who initiated coverage of $AAVE with a $3,500 target for the end of 2030. He does not expect that level in one jump. The report lays out a staged path:About $180 by the end of 2026$600 by the end of 2027$1,200 by the end of 2028$2,200 by the end of 2029$3,500 by the end of 2030　　For context, $AAVE has since climbed to around $83.50, up about 13% on the week, which still puts the near-term $180 target at more than double current levels. The same note carried long-term targets of $500,000 forBitcoin and $40,000 forEthereum by 2030,

Story Protocol rebrands to DATA Foundation in AI pivot

Story Protocol, a layer-1 blockchain built around intellectual property licensing, is pivoting to artificial intelligence as it rebrands as the $DATA Foundation.　　The company said Thursday that it will focus on building “essential infrastructure for training AI,” which it called “the most valuable and least solved category of IP.”　　“Frontier AI labs have hit a multi-billion-dollar data bottleneck, where the internet has been effectively exhausted for scraping,” the company said. “The remaining supply is either expensive and bespoke or legally undocumented, leaving labs without a way to source data at scale, prove its provenance, or guarantee its quality.”　　Story is the latest crypto project to turn to AI as funding and hype for the technology accelerate. Multiple crypto miners have also shifted to running the high-performance computers needed for AI, giving a major boost to their revenue in a crypto bear market.　　The company said it is also launching an on-chain registry for AI training data provenance and licensing, called Trace, and is integrating with Kled, a company that provides licensable data sets for AI training.　　Story president and product chief Andrea Muttoni will become CEO of the $DATA Foundation, and Kled founder Avi Patel will join as chief data officer and adviser.　　Andrea Muttoni speaking

Coinbase's Base blockchain resumes after two-hour outage disrupted network

Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base resumed block production Thursday after a disruption of roughly two hours that halted the blockchain.　　In an update, the Base team said the chain has resumed working and internal nodes were syncing correctly, though it continues to investigate the root cause of the incident. The team also advised ecosystem node operators to restart their Base nodes to restore synchronization.　　The first public indication of problems came at 16:03 UTC, when Base reported that mainnet block production was “unhealthy.” By 16:52 UTC, the team said it had identified a problem and was pursuing multiple remediation efforts.　　The incident temporarily halted transaction processing on one of Ethereums largest layer-2 networks. Base has not yet disclosed what caused the invalid block or whether the issue stemmed from a software bug or another consensus-related fault.　　The network also previously suffered an outage in August 2025.　　The team said it will continue to monitor network stability and provide further updates as its investigation continues.

Analyst Who Found Previous Bitcoin Lows and Glassnode Offers New Low Interpretation! Two Levels Identified for the Bottom!

Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000 due to outflows from US spot ETFs, a more hawkish Fed, and a stronger dollar.　　While the decline is raising concerns that it could turn into a prolonged bear market, some analysts suggest that the bottom may be near.　　At this point, Glassnode noted that Bitcoin was showing signs of bottoming out at $60,000 amidst its downtrend.　　Glassnodes weekly report stated that while Bitcoin continues its downtrend, signs of a market bottom are beginning to emerge.　　The report states that $BTC is trading below the Real Market Average Price (RPP) of $77,000, which is the average cost basis for actively traded cryptocurrencies, but the influx of new investors has lowered the cost basis for short-term holders to $71,400. However, the average daily loss has also increased to $205 million.　　According to analysts, $BTC is currently facing resistance in the $66,800 to $70,700 range, but some buying pressure is being observed on Coinbase.　　Finally, Glassnode stated that the recent decline was driven by the spot market, followed by the derivatives market, which triggered a large amount of long position liquidations. This, in turn, triggered the decline.　　Analysts also noted that the concentration of long positions in the options market between $60,000 and $64,000

New research questions if Hal Finney was really Bitcoins second user

New forensic research published yesterday suggests that Hal Finney might not have been the second person to run a $BTC node.　　For 17 years, the man who tweeted “Running bitcoin” earned an unofficial title. In the eyes of many Bitcoin historians, Finney was the second person after creator Satoshi Nakamo to run a Bitcoin node.　　Indeed, thousands of articles credit Finney as Bitcoins second participant.　　However, it turns out that he might actually have been the third.　　Although it is an indisputable, on-chain fact that Finney earned the first coinbase reward after Nakamoto for mining a block, forensic researcher Alex Waltz argues that another man was running a mining-capable node before Finney.　　According to Waltz‘s timestamps, although Dustin Trammellwas running a node before Finney, an idiosyncratic network connectivity issue in Bitcoin software prior to version 0.1.3 prevented Trammell from connecting to Nakamoto’s nodes fast enough to outpace Finney.　　What everyone knows about Bitcoins Launch is wrong.　　A new timeline of Finneys Bitcoin node　　Waltz reconstructed a precise timeline of events during Bitcoins opening days.　　Based on his analysis, and despite Trammell openly admitting that Finney mined a block before him, he believes that Trammell was running $BTC mining software first.　　Unfortunately, Trammell hadnt remembered to flip on the software switch

House Democrats seek SEC answers on AI investment advisors

A group of Democratic US House lawmakers is questioning the US securities regulator over how it is overseeing investment advice and trading powered by artificial intelligence.　　In a letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins dated Tuesday, the lawmakers said that platforms offering AI trading agents to retail traders “raises serious questions for investor protection, broker-dealer responsibilities, market integrity, and the accountability of AI developers.”　　“While such trading may initially be limited in scope, there are indications that agentic trading could expand to a broad range of additional products, including options, cryptocurrency, event contracts, and futures,” the lawmakers wrote.　　AI agents have grown in popularity among crypto users as traders look to gain an edge in the always-on market, an idea that has spread to retail traders of traditional equities as they seek help with strategies.　　Crypto exchange Coinbase is one of the latest major platforms to introduce such a tool, releasing an AI agent earlier this month integrated into its app, which it said is a Securities and Exchange Commission- and Commodity Futures Trading Commission-registered financial adviser that can give guidance on trades.　　The letter, led by Bill Foster, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Financial Institutions Subcommittee, and Brad Sherman, the top

SpaceX tokenized stock bets top $50M in liquidations as crypto leverage reaches Wall Street

SPCX has already turned SpaceXs post-debut volatility into a crypto-native liquidation event.　　SpaceX-linked perpetual contracts exceeded $50 million in 48-hour liquidations as the underlying stock tested its $150 Nasdaq opening price, showing how quickly tokenized-stock exposure can shift from an access story to leveraged market plumbing.　　SPCX perpetual liquidations ranked behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum in crypto derivatives liquidation volume at the time.　　This raises a harder question: whether equity-linked wrappers can become forced-liquidation engines before the traditional market has finished determining the equitys value.　　That distinction mattered over the last 48 hours because SpaceX traded below its $150 Nasdaq opening price following a major drawdown. That put every person who purchased the stock or opened a long position above its $135 IPO price at a loss.　　It gave the tokenized market a clear stress point: the reference asset was struggling around its first public trading level, while the crypto wrapper was already triggering liquidations on a scale normally associated with major digital assets.　　The wrapper carries the liquidation risk　　SPCX-style products are better understood as derivatives plumbing around SpaceX-linked exposure than as ordinary shares moving on-chain.　　These instruments are pre-IPO or equity perpetual products, with cash settlement, leverage, funding, and no ordinary share ownership.　　Binance describes SPCXUSDT as

Coinbase Chooses Luxembourg as Its European Hub Under MiCA

Coinbase has officially designated Luxembourg as its primary European hub under the European Union‘s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. From this base, the company intends to offer cryptocurrency services to clients across the EU, leveraging the bloc’s unified licensing regime.　　Strategic Significance of Luxembourg　　Luxembourg has long been a favored jurisdiction for financial services firms seeking regulatory clarity and stability. By selecting it as its EU hub, Coinbase gains access to a well-established regulatory environment that aligns with MiCAs requirements. The move allows the company to passport services across all 27 EU member states, streamlining compliance and reducing operational complexity.　　Implications for EU Crypto Users　　For European retail and institutional investors, Coinbase‘s decision signals increased commitment to the region. MiCA, which came into force in 2024, provides a comprehensive legal framework for crypto-asset service providers, including rules on consumer protection, market integrity, and stablecoin regulation. Coinbase’s Luxembourg hub ensures that its EU customers will benefit from these protections while accessing a broad range of crypto products.　　Market and Regulatory Context　　The selection of Luxembourg comes amid a broader trend of major crypto firms establishing regulated bases within the EU. Competitors such as Binance and Kraken have also secured licenses under MiCA, creating a competitive landscape

Does No One Want Bitcoin Anymore？ Crypto In 'Desperate' Need For New Narrative, Says Commentator As Smart Money Sits 'On The Sidelines'

Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez spotlighted a prolonged lull in institutional buying pressure for Bitcoin as the apex cryptocurrency hit a 20-month low on Wednesday.　　Institutional Demand Dries Up　　Martinez pointed to the 46-day negative streak in the Coinbase Premium Index, a CryptoQuant metric that measures the price gap of Bitcoin between Coinbase and offshore exchanges. It is a widely used barometer for U.S. institutional demand and overall market sentiment.　　“A negative premium means $BTC is trading cheaper on Coinbase, suggesting that U.S. institutional buying pressure has dried up,” the analyst stated.　　Martinez also highlighted the “cooling period” in spot exchange-traded fund flows. The Bitcoin ETFs have experienced six consecutive weeks of net outflows, according to data from SoSo Value, with $2.92 billion in redemptions this month alone.　　“American smart money appears to be sitting on the sidelines, waiting for macroeconomic clarity before re-entering the accumulation phase,” Martinez added.　　Is Bitcoin Headed Below $30,000？　　Bitcoin on Wednesday—its first time since October 24—as the ongoing sell-off pushed the leading cryptocurrency more than 51% below its record high of $126,198.　　The odds of Bitcoin falling below $30,000 in 2026 stood at 14% on Polymarket, while the chances of the asset sliding below $50,000 rose to 62%.　　Does Crypto Need A New Narrative？　　Bitcoins
