While the entire crypto market oscillates between consolidation and correction, Dogecoin stands out with a unique behavior. Its open interest, a barometer of open positions on futures contracts, remains stable at a historically high level, nearing 16 billion DOGE, or approximately 3.36 billion dollars. This threshold is remarkable in a climate where speculative activity is significantly declining across the majority of altcoins.

XRP is going through a decisive phase. Priced at $2.81, Ripple’s token is evolving in a weakened crypto market, undermined by persistent volatility. Technical indicators paint a mixed picture: selling pressure dominates in the short term, but some long-term moving averages indicate a possible recovery. Between investor caution and hopes for a rebound, XRP is now at a strategic turning point that captures analysts' attention.

Stripe, once skeptical, now has its own in-house blockchain. Officially for stablecoins, unofficially to outshine the crypto heavyweights. Engineers grumble, Collison celebrates.

Bitcoin mining difficulty touched a new all-time high as the crypto market descended into volatility following the latest US job data. After hitting an all-time high (ATH) in August, market commentators projected that the difficulty of Bitcoin mining would decrease. However, the mining difficulty has steadily increased as the month progressed, with large players dominating the space.

Since its creation, Ethereum (ETH) has continually surprised the markets. But the latest indicator marks an unprecedented milestone. For the first time, Ethereum's exchange balance has turned negative: in other words, more ETH leave trading platforms than enter. This rare phenomenon could be the fuel for a surge towards $7,000, according to several analysts.

Spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $952 million in outflows over five trading days, raising concerns across digital asset markets. Investors reduced exposure to Ether products managed by major firms such as BlackRock and Fidelity, while capital shifted toward bitcoin ETFs. The withdrawals came during a period of rising recession fears and increased expectations of monetary policy easing in the United States.

The disappearance of a few thousand bitcoins from a balance sheet is enough to fuel controversies. This weekend, the issuer of USDT found itself at the center of a media whirlwind: did it secretly sell its BTC? Some saw a strategic shift there. However, behind the seemingly worrying figures, another reality emerges, much more nuanced, and above all, revealing the discreet movements of a giant in crypto finance.

The calm was short-lived. Indeed, the crypto market is plunging back into fear, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which dropped to 44 after several weeks of stability. This psychological signal is not isolated, as it accompanies a clear shift in investment flows, leaving the most volatile altcoins to refocus on the heavyweights of the sector, bitcoin and Ethereum.
