Executive scan
Today in crypto was led by market structure rather than a single catalyst. Ether rallied as bearish liquidations added fuel, while Bitcoin briefly spiked near $80,000 after August CPI matched forecasts and did little to shift the Fed-rate narrative in coverage. Liquidations and leverage remained the desk’s main read-through, with Bitcoin and Ethereum dominating entity attention.
Institutional and policy threads stayed busy. Strive was reportedly targeting a 500 BTC purchase funded by preferred stock sales, Metaplanet launched a Hong Kong Bitcoin investment subsidiary, and UniCredit was reported to be weighing crypto custody. Stablecoin risk resurfaced as GMO-Z.com Trust wound down GYEN and Coinbase prepared to convert holdings to USDC. Regulation also stayed active, with a CFTC whistleblower-award proposal and a UK Lords vote backing a digital-assets strategy amendment.
