Analysts Eye $8K–$13K for ETH as Global Liquidity Peaks
Ether (ETH) is gaining bullish momentum as global M2 money supply hits a record $95.58 trillion. Analysts argue that Ether is significantly undervalued and should already be trading above $8,000, with some projecting an optimistic target of $13,000. Eric Trump echoed this sentiment, agreeing with analyst predictions. The falling Bitcoin dominance, down 8.5% since June 27, is fueling ETH's rise, with ETH gaining 77% over the same period. Historical trends show that drops in Bitcoin’s market share often spark major ETH rallies. Strong ETF inflows and growing institutional interest add more weight to Ether’s explosive potential by late 2025.
TRON Launches $TRUMP Token with LayerZero for Seamless Cross-Chain Access
TRON has launched the $TRUMP token using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, enabling smooth and secure transfers across multiple blockchains without relying on risky bridges. Powered by Stargate Finance, the rollout ensures instant cross-chain liquidity and usability within TRON’s vast ecosystem, which boasts over 321 million users and $20 billion in daily volume. With unified token supply and a burn-and-mint mechanism, $TRUMP is positioned for mass adoption. This collaboration highlights TRON’s growing role as a global digital asset hub, offering low fees, scalability, and real-world functionality for memecoins and DeFi integration.
FTX to Release $1.9B in Creditor Payouts This September Amid Reduced Disputes
FTX will begin distributing $1.9 billion to creditors starting September 30, after the bankruptcy court reduced disputed claims from $6.5B to $4.3B. This third payout follows earlier distributions totaling $6.2B. The funds come from claims that are no longer under dispute, although creditors in China and other designated jurisdictions are expected to be excluded. The estate has been directed to revise its motion restricting payments to certain regions due to legal concerns. Despite ongoing issues, the court approved a delay in ruling, signaling progress but also continued uncertainty for some international creditors.
Wall Street Embraces Blockchain with Tokenized Money Market Funds
Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon have partnered to launch tokenized money market funds (TMMFs) on blockchain, targeting the $7.1 trillion U.S. money market. The initiative, backed by giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, offers real-time settlement, 24/7 access, and transparent ownership through digital tokens. Unlike stablecoins, these tokenized assets generate real yield, appealing to institutions seeking both liquidity and income. This move reduces counterparty risk and operational delays linked to traditional settlement systems. Launched amid growing regulation, the effort positions blockchain as a mainstream financial infrastructure for institutional-grade products.
MicroStrategy Supercharges Bitcoin Bet with $2B Stock Offering
MicroStrategy has increased its preferred stock offering to $2 billion—quadrupling its original plan—to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. The Series A preferred shares are priced at $90 and carry a 9% dividend, with top financial institutions underwriting the deal. This move comes as the company’s Bitcoin-driven strategy continues to pay off, with MSTR stock soaring 146% over the past year. Holding over 607,000 BTC, MicroStrategy dominates the corporate Bitcoin treasury space, inspiring other firms like Japan’s Quantum Solutions and major Bitcoin miners to follow suit amid growing institutional and regulatory support for crypto adoption.
Solana’s Bold 2027 Vision: Building the Future of Global Digital Markets
Solana has unveiled an ambitious 2027 roadmap to become the backbone of global Internet Capital Markets (ICMs), a decentralized system that enables anyone to access tokenized assets and cultures. The roadmap identifies market microstructures as Solana’s top challenge and introduces Application-Controlled Execution (ACE) to give smart contracts near-instant control over transactions. Key upgrades include the Jito Block Assembly Marketplace and the DoubleZero peer-to-peer network, designed to replace traditional internet infrastructure. These efforts, along with recent upgrades that boosted block capacity by 20%, position Solana to redefine how digital markets function worldwide.
