Trump Media’s discretionary bitcoin position is effectively gone.Wallets attributed to the Truth Social parent moved 2,628 bitcoin, worth about $165 million, to Crypto.com in two transactions Saturday, per Arkham data.That leaves roughly 4,261 bitcoin in the tagged addresses, about $268 million with bitcoin near $63,000. Trump Media’s first-quarter filing put 4,260.73 bitcoin under lien as collateral for its convertible notes as of March 31, restricted from distribution or withdrawal until the notes mature on May 29, 2028 at the latest.The company has not said the remaining balance is that collateral, and the tagged wallets may not capture everything it holds,…

In a July 29 forum-stage proposal, Aave risk service provider LlamaRisk recommended winding down the decentralized lender’s V3 deployments on Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos. The plan would put $4.1 million of debt on a staged exit path that keeps existing positions open during the initial step.The Aave Request for Final Comments, or ARFC, covers 25 lending reserves with $12.8 million supplied, based on LlamaRisk data dated July 28. The forum thread still showed the request under discussion on July 31. Aave’s proposal lifecycle places an ARFC before a community Snapshot and any executable on-chain Aave Improvement Proposal.…

Treasuries rallied across the curve as the oil move eased inflation worries, taking the 10-year yield down four basis points to 4.69% after it hit its highest since January 2025 last week. Nasdaq 100 futures and European share futures both gained 0.8%. Gold added 0.3% to about $4,060 an ounce.Falling oil, falling yields and rising stock futures usually give crypto a lift. This time bitcoin ignored all three — because the pressure on it is coming from a broken hardware wallet rather than from the macro.As CoinDesk reported Sunday, a third wave of sweeps against Coldcard-generated addresses were found over…

Iris Coleman Aug 02, 2026 09:56 AAVE is stuck at $92.39 with momentum flatlined and sellers dominating short-term order flow — but top traders are quietly loading the long side. The next 30 days hinge entirely on reclaiming $95.2… AAVE’s Technical Reality Check The setup here is classic no-man’s land. Momentum has gone effectively comatose — the MACD has converged to near-zero divergence, meaning whatever directional trend was in play has burned itself out completely. Buyers aren’t stepping up with conviction, and sellers aren’t triggering panic. That equilibrium alone should raise your alertness, not your confidence. Price is sandwiched below…

The persistent discount suggests US spot buyers have remained less aggressive than overseas traders even as US Bitcoin ETF inflows turned positive in July.

La Rosa Holdings filed its Q1 report late. Inside: a real estate services company sitting on $8.14 million in digital assets, $28.34 million in total liabilities, and a net loss of $13.47 million for the quarter alone. The numbers are jarring. La Rosa held just $1.74 million in actual cash as of March 31, against $12.06 million in current liabilities. The stockholders’ deficit came in at $7.5 million. Management itself flagged doubts about the company’s ability to keep operating — the classic “going concern” language that auditors and investors never want to see. And yet, the firm’s balance sheet carries…

Coldcard’s firmware was not doing that. According to a report published by Block’s Bitcoin engineering and security teams, a build setting told the device to skip its own hardware randomness generator, and a check in a supporting library tested only whether that setting existed rather than whether it was switched on. Key generation quietly fell through to a basic software substitute seeded from the chip’s serial number and clock registers.None of those are secrets. The serial number is fixed factory metadata, and the clock values are timing state an attacker can narrow down or measure on a device of their…

Crypto’s next altcoin season may produce fewer winners as institutional investors concentrate their activity in a narrower group of digital assets, according to crypto market maker Wintermute.In its over-the-counter (OTC) flow report for the first half of 2026, Wintermute said institutional counterparties generated 72% of spot flow across all tokens on its OTC desk, the highest share on record. That was up from 61% in the second half of 2025 and 59% in the first half of last year. With institutional activity concentrated in fewer tokens and fading faster after price surges, the findings suggest future altcoin rallies could become narrower…

Crypto markets barely registered one of the sharpest equity rallies of the year on Friday, with bitcoin holding near $64,300 while South Korean stocks staged a record rebound from the selloff that dominated the past two weeks.The majors were close to unchanged. Ether traded at $1,907, XRP at $1.08, solana at $74 and dogecoin at $0.07, with roughly $27 billion changing hands in bitcoin and $7 billion in ether. BNB was the exception, up 3% on the day to $590 and the only major holding a meaningful weekly gain. Bitcoin spiked to $65,300 in early Asian hours before giving it…
