🚨 Bitcoin derivatives are flashing a defensive signal heading into September.
bitcoin:native sits at $78,425 with $54.82B in futures OI and ~$44B in options OI.
Calls still dominate the book at 60.9%, but puts captured 54.5% of the latest options volume.
With max-pain levels clustered around $70K–$80K, leverage is back—and traders are paying for protection.
September could get volatile. ⚠️
🚀 $SOL just broke a 10-month curse.
After 10 straight monthly declines, Solana is up ~46% in August, trading around $106 and ~80% above its June low.
What’s driving it:
• $1.34B in U.S. spot SOL ETF inflows
• Institutional & corporate buying
• 67% vote to cut SOL issuance
• Record network activity
• $16M+ shorts liquidated
September is the real test. 👀
$SOL is still ~64% below its ~$293 ATH.
@WiseCrypto_ Token unlocks can completely change the short-term setup. $HYPE especially needs attention — liquidity, selling pressure, and market sentiment could all shift quickly.
🚨 $1.5B+ in crypto tokens are set to unlock in the first week of September.
Watch these 3 closely:
• $SUI — Sep 1: 13.53M tokens (~$9.73M)
• $ENA — Sep 2: 40.63M (~$6.05M)
• $HYPE — Sep 6: 9.92M (~$797M) ⚠️The $HYPE unlock alone could be a major volatility catalyst.
Also on watch: ethereum:0xec53bf9167f50cdeb3ae105f56099aaab9061f83, $GUN & base:0x0c1dc73159e30c4b06170f2593d3118968a0dca5.
@WiseCrypto_ $40T+ in U.S. debt makes the debasement narrative harder to ignore. If investors keep looking for scarce assets outside the fiat system, Bitcoin and gold could continue benefiting.
🚨 Bitcoin is starting to trade more like gold than tech stocks.
Grayscale says bitcoin:native’s 90-day correlation with Nasdaq 100 has fallen from 60%+ to ~33%, while its correlation with gold surged from near 0% to 50%+.
With US debt now above $40T, the debasement trade is back in focus.
@WiseCrypto_ What makes this even more concerning is that the reported exploit involved an outdated contract version. Infrastructure upgrades and monitoring cannot be treated as optional.
🚨 Solana neobank Avici hacked for $653K
An attacker drained ~$653,548 from Avici’s $USDC card collateral vaults, despite docs stating only users’ wallets could withdraw.
solana:BANKJmvhT8tiJRsBSS1n2HryMBPvT5Ze4HU95DUAmeta crashed ~40% and now trades at $0.32.
The stolen funds equal nearly 20% of its market cap.
@WiseCrypto_ The global mining map is changing fast. Paraguay’s jump is especially interesting, while Russia and China gaining share shows how quickly mining activity can migrate when energy costs, regulations, and market conditions change.
🌎 Bitcoin mining is becoming more geographically diverse.
🇺🇸 US hashrate share fell from 37.52% → 36.7%
🇷🇺 Russia rose 16.42% → 17.2%
🇨🇳 China rose 11.28% → 12.2%
🇵🇾 Paraguay jumped 4.03% → 4.7%
Bitcoin’s total hashrate now stands at 892 EH/s, down from 1,000+ EH/s earlier this year.
Meanwhile, mining hashprice has surged 27.4% in 30 days to $40.34/PH/s.
The global mining map is shifting. ⛏️ #BTC $BTC
@WiseCrypto_ ETF flows are definitely the metric I’m watching most closely. If institutional demand stays strong into September, BTC could have a much stronger foundation for another leg higher.
🚨 $BTC just posted the biggest weekly dollar gain in its history.
Bitcoin jumped $14,775, from $62,818 → $77,593 — a 23.5% weekly surge.
The rally was fueled by:
• Strongest US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows since Oct 2025
• $2.7B in crypto shorts liquidated
• Trump pushing the CLARITY Act
• Treasury expanding long-bond buybacks
ETF flows will be key to see if this rally survives into September. 📈
@WiseCrypto_ The bearish September bias is real in the historical data, but it shouldn’t be treated as a standalone trading signal. Market structure and liquidity still matter more.
🚨 Bitcoin’s August is currently up +26.75%.
What does history say about September?
Backtest of 2013–2025:
• September avg: -3.08%
• Median: -3.12%
• Positive Septembers: 5/13
More interesting: when August gained 20%+, September was negative in both cases:
2017: Aug +65.32% → Sep -7.44%
2013: Aug +30.42% → Sep -1.76%
Historical setup: bearish September bias. 📉
Not a prediction—just the data.
@WiseCrypto_ UNI getting the only AAA rating is definitely going to attract attention. It shows how different token fundamentals can look when evaluated through a structured framework rather than just narrative and momentum.
🚨 Crypto just got its own credit-rating system.
DeFiLlama + Forgd launched Universal Token Ratings, grading 128 tokens from AAA to CCC using live market data.
$UNI is the only AAA-rated asset, while $MET, $CRV, $RAY, $JTO, $ETHFI, $DOGE, $ZAMA & $PYTH sit at AA.
Ratings can change in near real time.
@WiseCrypto_ Going from 106 consecutive days below 50 to greed territory is a huge psychological shift. Crypto sentiment can change incredibly fast once momentum returns.
🚨 Crypto sentiment just hit a major milestone.
The Fear & Greed Index reached 74 on Aug. 25, its highest level since Oct. 5, 2025 — one day before Bitcoin hit its ATH.
After 106 straight days below 50, sentiment has flipped to 65.
$BTC is up 23% in a week, but ETFs remain net sellers and Coinbase premiums are still negative.
