Lemon2026-09-19 06:38:47Argentine crypto app Lemon to shut down local operations in BrazilArgentine crypto app Lemon said it will close all of its local operations in Brazil, citing capital requirements set by Brazil’s central bank for virtual asset service providers that it said are disproportionate to the scale of its business in the country. User accounts are scheduled to be closed on Oct. 16, 2026. Lemon is a fintech company that offers crypto trading and Visa card services. The update was carried by Techub News, citing CoinGape. No additional details on customer transition arrangements or the scope of the shutdown were provided in the source text.400
Robinhood2026-09-18 22:31:27Robinhood’s default crypto routing drew scrutiny over a near-2% spread, while an executive pointed to a cheaper optionRobinhood’s default crypto trading route came under criticism after Delphi Digital co-founder Tommy Shaughnessy posted on X that the spread looked too wide. In the screenshot he shared, the Bitcoin round-trip spread was 1.87%, which he said was close to “criminal” for an asset of that scale. Robinhood Crypto Senior Vice President and General Manager Johann Kerbrat responded that users also have access to a second option called Smart Exchange Routing, where fees range from 0% to 0.95% and decline as a trader’s 30-day volume rises. Kerbrat also said customers do not need to sell tokens before withdrawing them to an external wallet. According to the details cited in the report, Robinhood’s default market maker routing sends crypto orders to outside trading firms rather than exchanges. Robinhood Crypto receives $0.95 for every $100 in volume it processes, with that cost embedded in quoted prices, pushing the cost of a full buy-and-sell transaction to nearly 2% before any market move.340
Robinhood2026-09-16 02:51:10Deutsche Bank Raises Robinhood Price Target to $138, Says Prediction Market Users Top 2 MillionDeutsche Bank said in a Sept. 14, 2026 research note that it raised Robinhood Markets' price target to $138 from $136 and kept its Buy rating, implying about 22.6% upside from the $112.57 price cited in the report. Analyst Brian Bedell wrote after a London roadshow that August operating metrics were broadly in line with expectations, with strong crypto trading activity and continued growth in margin balances and cash sweep balances. The note said Robinhood's prediction market user base has exceeded 2 million, making it one of the company's fastest-growing business lines. Deutsche Bank also pointed to Robinhood Chain as a major long-term driver, saying the business could reach a $100 million annualized revenue run rate in the fourth quarter. The report added that Robinhood may have roughly 14 business lines at or above the $100 million level by the end of 2026. Deutsche Bank further updated its earnings outlook, lifting EPS estimates for the third quarter of 2026 and for full-year 2026, 2027 and 2028. It also laid out risks including weaker trading volumes, lower crypto adoption, regulatory pressure, slower execution on growth initiatives, intensifying competition, security concerns, acquisition dilution and credit card loan losses.640

Bonk Guy2026-09-14 09:43:45Bonk Guy says he is not an infallible trader and cannot get every call rightBonk Guy has pushed back again against critics, saying people should not assume he "knows" something or "should know" something simply because of his reputation. The trader said he is, like many others in crypto, just a degen and a regular market participant rather than an all-knowing figure who never makes mistakes. He added that there are many days when he sleeps only two to four hours, and under those conditions mistakes can happen. According to Bonk Guy, his public profile only makes those errors more visible and more heavily scrutinized. Bonk Guy also said his goal has never been to make every single trade correct. Instead, he aims to stay profitable overall by making enough right calls over time. He said that if others believe one of his views is wrong, it would be more useful to point out the mistake and share a better alternative rather than simply attack him, arguing that such an exchange would benefit both sides.730
Polymarket2026-09-12 20:22:37Polymarket traders price 64% odds of Bitcoin hitting $80,000 in SeptemberPolymarket data shows traders assigning a 64% chance that Bitcoin will reach $80,000 in September, while the probability of falling to $75,000 stands at 68.5%. With 18 days remaining until 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 30, pricing on the platform currently points to the downside scenario as more likely. Under the market’s rules, the contract resolves to “Yes” if any 1-minute Binance BTC/USDT candle records a high at or above $80,000 before the deadline. The market was created on Sept. 7, and prices before that date do not count. Bitcoin previously touched $81,265 on Sept. 4 and $80,329 on Sept. 7. Polymarket data also shows total trading volume for September price markets at $5.17 million, with roughly $1.46 million in liquidity. Bitcoin’s intraday high was $79,505, leaving it $495 short of the trigger. Odds for $90,000 and $100,000 are 8.5% and 1.75%, while the probabilities for $72,500 and $70,000 are 40.5% and 22.5%, respectively.840
Robinhood2026-09-11 08:57:00Robinhood reports $17.5 billion in August crypto notional volume, up 61% month over monthRobinhood said its crypto notional trading volume reached $17.5 billion in August, marking a 61% increase from the previous month while falling 38% from a year earlier. The company broke out that figure into $7.4 billion from the Robinhood App and $10.1 billion from Bitstamp. The August operating update also showed total platform assets at $383.7 billion, up 8% month over month. Funded customers rose to 28.6 million, an increase of 120,000 from the prior month. Outside crypto, Robinhood reported equity trading volumes of $335.4 billion and options volume of 292.5 million contracts. The figures were disclosed in an official company announcement cited by PANews on Sept. 11. The release presented the data as operating information.760
Bitcoin2026-09-10 11:54:13Trader Killa says Bitcoin pullback may stop just below $70,000Trader Killa said in a social media post on Sept. 10 that Bitcoin has rallied 27% after spending two months consolidating at the bottom, while the broader market still remains in disbelief. In his view, the lower gap does not have to be fully filled, because it was created when roughly $6 billion in shorts were liquidated, and that figure only reflects publicly visible liquidation data. Killa pointed to the late-2022 rally as a reference, saying the market then saw only a partial fill before buyers stepped back in quickly. He added that a similar setup this time could mean a test of $70,000, though he stressed that such a move is not guaranteed. From a technical standpoint, Killa said he does not expect BTC to revisit his 2x long entry at $62,600, or even his publicly shared spot average cost at $65,800. His worst-case retest scenario is slightly below $70,000, with a capitulation-style move possibly reaching the high-$69,000 area. Outside of that, he said he does not expect any clearly deeper correction and sees BTC likely holding the $73,000-$75,000 range before eventually advancing toward $85,000.790
