WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

The post WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI steadies as fading prospects for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal support the risk premium. Traders turn cautious amid Russian airstrikes near the EU border and Ukrainian strikes on a Russian Oil refinery. US increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price holds ground after two days of gains, trading around $63.40 during the Asian hours on Friday. Crude Oil prices were largely unchanged, with waning hopes for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal underpinning the risk premium demanded by Oil sellers. Reuters cited analysts at ING, saying in a client note on Friday, “It’s proving difficult to set up a Putin-Zelenskiy summit, while discussions around potential security guarantees face obstacles,” “The less likely a ceasefire looks, the more likely the risk of tougher (US) sanctions” on Russia. The market sentiment remains cautious after reports of Russian airstrikes near the European Union (EU) border and Ukrainian attacks on a Russian Oil refinery. Moscow has demanded major concessions, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected giving up any territory. Oil prices may regain their ground as the United States (US) increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, announcing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. Crude accounts for nearly 35% of India’s imports. The demand for Oil could face challenges amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. The higher borrowing cost negatively impacts the economic activities in the United States, the world’s largest economy, which affects Oil requirements. The CME FedWatch tool indicates that the Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI)…

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

The post Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FanDuel just inked a deal with CME Group to enter the predictions market. Flutter Entertainment (NASDAQ:FLUT) stock was up about 2% in early trading after the company announced a new partnership for its FanDuel property that will launch it into the growing predictions market. FanDuel is the largest online sports betting site, with some 4.5 million active users. With this new deal with derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), FanDuel will develop new event-based contracts that allow users to predict the outcomes in financial markets. Customers will be able to make predictions on a wide range of market questions with simple “yes” or “no” answers for as little as $1 per chance. It is essentially akin to betting on the outcome, but FanDuel and CME call it trading event-based contracts. According to FanDuel, the prediction will focus on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). An example of a question might be, Will the S&P 500 finish above X by X date? Or will the Fed lower interest rates at its next meeting? “Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities,” Terry Duffy, CME group chairman and CEO, said. “To meet this demand, we have created this innovative partnership, which will operate a non-clearing FCM. Together, our event-based products will appeal to the growing public interest in markets, and we will provide education to attract a new generation of potential traders not active in derivatives today.” Additional revenue stream for FanDuel and Flutter Through this new initiative, a first for the online sports betting space, CME and FanDuel will form a new joint venture. In this joint venture, they will operate a non-clearing futures…

USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech

The post USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD has reached its three-month high at 1.3915 on Friday. CME FedWatch Tool indicates that markets are pricing a 74% chance of a September rate cut, against 82% on Wednesday. Canada’s Industrial Product Price Index climbed 0.7% in July, exceeding expectations of a 0.3% rise, after a 0.5% gain prior. USD/CAD remains stronger for the fourth successive session, reaching a three-month high at 1.3915 during the Asian hours on Friday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) gains ground amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. Traders await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, which could offer fresh clues on the September policy outlook. According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US). The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI inched higher to 55.4 in August, from 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Moreover, US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 235K for the previous week, an eight-week high and above the consensus estimate of 225K, suggesting some softening in labor market conditions. The upside of the USD/CAD pair could be restrained as the Canadian Dollar (CAD) may receive support amid a decrease in the scope for further Bank of Canada (BoC) rate cuts. Canada’s Industrial Product Price rose 0.7% month-over-month in July, following a 0.5% gain in June and surpassing market expectations of…

Altseason Things: Ethereum Perps Volume Sets New Record Against Bitcoin

Altseason Things: Ethereum Perps Volume Sets New Record Against Bitcoin

Data shows the Ethereum perpetual futures volume dominance has set a new all-time high relative to Bitcoin, a sign of elevated speculative interest in altcoins. Ethereum Perpetual Futures Volume Dominance Has Hit 67% According to data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the Ethereum perpetual futures volume has shot up recently. Below is the chart cited by Glassnode, showing the trend in the perpetual futures volume dominance breakdown between Ethereum and Bitcoin. As displayed in the above graph, Ethereum overtook Bitcoin in perpetual futures volume a while ago, indicating that speculators shifted their attention from BTC to ETH. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Volume Signal Nailed The Top & Bottom: Analytics Firm The two have only continued to diverge since then, meaning that trader interest in the coin ranked number two by market cap is only going up. Following the latest continuation to the increase, the ETH perpetual futures volume dominance has reached the 67% mark, which is a new all-time high (ATH). The analytics firm explains, Over the years, Ethereum has generally been considered a bellweather asset, with periods of its out-performance usually correlated with broader a “altseason” phase in the digital asset market. As such, this pronounced rotation in trading activity can be a sign of growing focus on the altcoin sector among the investors. Glassnode also notes the trend could point to “an acceleration of risk appetite within this market cycle.” Ethereum’s dominance has also grown in terms of another perpetual futures market indicator: the Open Interest. This metric measures the total amount of contracts related to a given asset that are open on all centralized derivatives exchanges. Here is a chart that shows how ETH’s dominance of this metric has changed relative to BTC over the past few years: As is visible in the above graph, the Ethereum perpetual futures Open Interest dominance has climbed to 43.3% recently. Bitcoin remains dominant with the metric sitting at 56.7%, but compared to earlier in the year, the difference is a lot closer. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear Is Back: Traders Flip As Price Plunges To $113,000 In terms of the futures sector as a whole, the combined Open Interest across major altcoins (Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin) set a new ATH of $60.2 billion recently. Though, this high couldn’t last, as the indicator suffered a sharp $2.6 billion drawdown soon after. This drop in the Open Interest of the major altcoins is the tenth largest on record. The report notes, These rapid fluctuations underscore that altcoins are currently drawing a significant amount of investor attention, and have meaningfully contributed to heightened reflexivity and fragility across digital asset markets. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is floating around $4,200, down almost 7% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com

Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine

Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine

The post Can privacy survive in US crypto policy after Roman Storm’s conviction? – Cointelegraph Magazine appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Roman Storm’s conviction over Tornado Cash has sparked a debate about whether US authorities are narrowing crypto privacy rights despite the White House’s recent report emphasizing the importance of self-custody and individual freedoms. The case has drawn comparisons to earlier battles over Silk Road, raising questions about criminal intent, control of immutable smart contracts and whether privacy itself can ever outweigh security concerns. Meanwhile, the White House is pushing for a clear taxonomy of digital assets — commodity or security — highlighting how unresolved definitions and liability standards continue to shape US crypto policy discussions. To explore the legal implications of Storm’s conviction and the broader policy context, Magazine spoke with Joshua Chu of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, Yuriy Brisov of UK law firm Digital & Analogue Partners and Charlyn Ho of US law firm Rikka.  The conversation has been edited for clarity and length. Storm has received financial support to fund his defense from the Ethereum community. (Fede’s intern, screenshot edited) Magazine: Does Storm’s conviction highlight the tension between US policy recommendations on privacy rights and the way liability is assigned in crypto cases? Chu: If I’m putting on my asset recovery lawyer hat, we always say we target the infrastructure to safeguard our clients’ interests. There are crypto mixers that argue the nature of their activity doesn’t automatically mean they’re always used for illicit purposes. I do a lot of these cases, and I always say that it doesn’t matter if assets are going through centralized or decentralized platforms. Just because somebody purports that it’s a decentralized operating vehicle, it doesn’t mean you’re just publishing codes out there. At the end of the day, laws are laws. The real question is not whether we need new ones, but whether existing laws have been followed. Founders of Ethereum’s…

Bitcoin price dips to $112K as retail dumps, whales buy more

Bitcoin price dips to $112K as retail dumps, whales buy more

The post Bitcoin price dips to $112K as retail dumps, whales buy more appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin price slipped to $112,828 on Aug. 22, down 1.4% on the day as retail demand cooled while whales quietly accumulated. Summary Bitcoin trades at $112,828, 9.3% below its Aug. 14 all-time high of $124,128. Retail demand is fading, but whales bought 16,000 BTC in the past week. Technicals show $112K as key support; failure could push prices toward $105K. Bitcoin (BTC) is now 9.3% below its peak of $124,128 reached on Aug. 14 and down 6% for the month. With daily spot volume falling 23.9% to $31.58 billion, trading activity has slowed significantly, indicating cooling momentum. Alongside spot weakness, derivatives activity is declining, as per Coinglass market data. While open interest increased by 0.3% to $81.43 billion, futures volume fell 16.7% to $66.17 billion. A decline in volume and an increase in open interest indicate that traders are being cautious and holding onto their positions rather than closing them. Retail demand fades while Bitcoin whales step in According to an Aug. 21 post on X by CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, retail demand fell 5.7% over the past week. He described smaller buyers as “tourists” who are quick to leave when prices turn volatile. Retail has already left. 🤔 🔹️Retail Demand Change sits at -5.7%. They’re the tourists of the crypto market here for the hype, gone when it fades. pic.twitter.com/qiu0aXJpxB — Maartunn (@JA_Maartun) August 21, 2025 Maartunn also noted that Bitcoin has now retested the $112,000 zone, its former record high, twice in a short span. He cautioned that repeated retests often weaken support and can foreshadow deeper losses. Yet large holders appear to be taking the opposite view. CryptoQuant contributor Caueconomy, in an Aug. 22 analysis, reported that whales purchased over 16,000 BTC in the past seven days. Similar accumulation preceded a brief rebound earlier this month, suggesting that…
