Bitcoin2026-09-18 15:22:49Bitcoin Reclaims $80,000 as Short Liquidations Top $445 Million Across CryptoBitcoin climbed back above $80,000 this week as a relief rally accelerated after the Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis points but signaled a relatively limited path for further tightening. The Fed’s updated dot plot showed a median policy rate of 4.1% through the end of 2027, which the market read as implying only one more move rather than a prolonged hiking cycle. Crypto had already been under pressure earlier in the week after the Clarity Act failed to clear a Senate procedural vote, a setback that pushed Bitcoin below $75,000. The rebound that followed the Fed decision then gathered pace, and by the latest session more than $445 million in short positions had been liquidated across the crypto market. Bitcoin accounted for over $230 million of that total. At the time cited in the report, Bitcoin was up 5.88% on the day at $80,846, after opening at $76,355, hitting an intraday high of $80,857, and trading as low as $76,236. Technical indicators also pointed to a stronger trend: ADX stood at 40.6, RSI was 63.3, and the 50-day EMA remained above the 200-day EMA after a golden cross formed last Saturday. Traders are now watching resistance at $82,281 and support at $75,569 and $68,858.720

The move put LSK at the top of the liquidation leaderboard during the 24-hour window covered by the data.1080
Bitcoin2026-09-11 08:02:46Analyst says Bitcoin profit supply rose to 69% after squeeze-driven repricingBitcoin’s supply in profit has climbed to 69%, with a 90-day change of +41%, according to crypto analyst @AxelAdlerJr. He said the move corresponds to a BTC price of about $77,000 and shows how the recent rebound has sharply increased the share of holders sitting on gains. Adler argued that a large part of recent buying came from mechanical repricing after a short squeeze rather than from sustained spot demand. In his view, the current move is not being driven mainly by steady fresh spot accumulation. He also pointed to historical patterns, saying that this kind of fast upward momentum has often faded quickly. Based on that comparison, he said the market is more prone to either give back part of the move or enter a sideways consolidation phase after the initial push.1010
Robinhood2026-09-06 23:39:34Robinhood Co-Founder Follows MEME Account, Token Surges Nearly 2xRobinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev followed the official account of MEME, a meme coin paired with AMC Entertainment stock (ticker: AMC) via the Robinhood platform, early on September 7. This action triggered a rapid surge: according to GMGN data, MEME's market capitalization nearly doubled within a short period, peaking at $174 million before retreating to $83.58 million, representing a 24-hour gain of over 100%. The token's market cap was approximately $41.79 million a day earlier, implying a doubling. The move came a day after multiple FOMO platform KOLs, including Bonk Guy, had been heavily accumulating MEME tokens. MEME utilizes tokenized AMC shares as its base pool and provides liquidity through the MEME/AMC trading pair on Robinhood. The coin had already surpassed the $100 million market cap threshold on Friday, setting the stage for increased attention. The involvement of a high-profile figure combined with prior KOL accumulation highlights the speculative interest in this meme asset, though specific accumulation amounts remain undisclosed.2850
Robinhood2026-09-04 19:16:03Meme Coins Paired With Tokenized Stocks Are Taking Off on Robinhood Chain, but the Squeeze Thesis Looks ThinA new trading pattern is emerging on Robinhood Chain, the company’s permissionless layer-2 network launched in July: meme coins are being paired directly with tokenized stocks instead of stablecoins. Over the weekend of August 30, BONER locked up more than half of the tokenized Hims & Hers Health supply and briefly pushed the wrapped HIMS price to $132.64, while the real HIMS stock had closed Friday at $28.84. Because Robinhood allows only one licensed partner to mint and burn these stock tokens, supply stayed fixed, and with the NYSE closed for the weekend, a few thousand dollars of trading was enough to move the market. Traders framed the move as a short-squeeze attempt, but BONER’s own website said the math falls short, with all tokenized HIMS shares together representing only 0.1% of the real short position. Similar meme-stock pair structures have appeared around Nvidia, Strategy, Microsoft, and AMC, bringing trading activity and attention to Robinhood Chain even if they are not moving the underlying stocks themselves.1580
Zcash2026-09-04 10:40:14Zcash Jumps 20% to $1,000 Milestone, Short Sellers Lose $34MZEC briefly traded above $1,020 as a sharp rally forced traders betting against the token out of leveraged positions, causing a 20% jump to the $1,000 milestone and $34 million in short seller losses.520
Helium2026-09-04 08:28:27Helium’s 5.7x rally faces a revenue reality check as HNT short squeeze meets weaker on-chain spendHelium’s HNT token surged from a multi-year low of $0.167 on Aug. 15 to an intraday high of $0.96 two weeks later, a 5.7x move that briefly pushed its market capitalization from roughly $31 million to about $95 million. Public catalysts were clear enough: the release and passage of HIP-150, news that Celina, Texas had shifted public Wi‑Fi into carrier coverage on the network, and the launch of HeliumOS, a B2B platform aimed at carriers and MVNOs. Yet the on-chain picture was far less straightforward. Rewardable carrier offload traffic rose 2.4x year over year, from 1.26 PB in August 2025 to 3.06 PB last month, while spending on mobile traffic Data Credits fell to $263,000 in August from a March peak of $1.47 million, a drop of 82%. The article argues that the rally was driven by both genuine business developments and aggressive position unwinds. HNT perpetual funding dropped below -1.2%, weekend short liquidations reached $1.6 million, and Aug. 30 volume hit $248 million, above the token’s entire market cap at the time. That left HNT repriced to a level where future growth now has to show up in carrier offload burns fast enough to outrun new issuance.820
tokenized sto2026-09-03 15:13:01Tokenized stock trading may become a new battleground for retail traders targeting U.S. short sellersA Foresight article argues that on-chain stock-token trading is starting to merge meme coin speculation with U.S. small-cap equities, opening the door to a new style of retail-driven short squeeze. The piece traces the idea back to the January 2021 GameStop saga, when comments from short seller Citron helped ignite a wave of coordinated buying by retail traders on Reddit, sending GME from $17 to an intraday high of $483 and inflicting multi-billion-dollar losses on Melvin Capital. The article says a similar setup is now appearing around tokenized equities on Robinhood’s chain. It cites one user who disclosed buying 37.4% of a Nasdaq-listed company with a $4.8 million market cap, a share price near $0.12, liabilities of $6.2 million, and short interest of 92.3%. According to the post, the user spent $1.8 million over three weeks through two brokers and plans to tokenize the stock on-chain, then pair it with a meme coin. Foresight says the structure matters because traders seeking the meme coin would first need to buy the stock token, creating passive demand that could feed through to the underlying equity. The article also points to HIMS and data showing 20% of NVIDIA stock tokens locked on Robinhood’s chain, with 10% of all stock tokens on the chain locked on long.xyz.1050
