Ansem2026-09-26 09:18:25Ansem says airdrops remain a key driver of on-chain trading activityCrypto trader Ansem said airdrops still rank among the strongest catalysts for bringing users and trading activity back on-chain. In his view, the last market cycle saw trading terminals capture significant volume, yet many of those platforms still have not offered rewards to users. As competition for traders heats up, he said rewarding early users can work as an effective way to build loyalty and retain liquidity. Drawing on past market experience, Ansem added that well-timed airdrops have previously unlocked substantial on-chain activity, and he expects the same playbook to show up again in the current cycle. The comments point to user incentives as a continuing tool for platforms trying to win and keep active traders.440
Ethereum2026-09-12 11:21:01Ethereum Jumps Nearly 10% After CPI Release as Whale Activity Picks UpEthereum briefly surged nearly 10% after the latest CPI release, climbing from $2,433 to $2,667 in a sharp move that analysts linked to whale activity. According to analyst alicharts, the number of Ethereum transactions worth more than $1 million rose by nearly 14% during the rally, suggesting that large holders were active behind the move. The analyst also said ETH is now approaching a major resistance zone. More than 10 million ETH had previously changed hands between $2,700 and $2,800, creating what alicharts described as a sizable supply wall. That range now stands out as the key area bulls, especially whales, would need to break through before Ethereum can make a run toward $3,000. The move came shortly after CPI data was released, with the price reaction unfolding over a short period.870

Solana2026-09-10 04:23:39Solana stands out as one of the only active on-chain themes as baton pulls back after a brief $10 million peakOn Sept. 10, BlockBeats reported that overall on-chain activity had dropped sharply, while the Solana ecosystem remained one of the few clear areas of market attention. Citing GMGN market data, the report said several meme coins paired against altcoin-based liquidity pools stayed strong during the session. Among them, baton recorded more than $2,750 in trading volume within seven hours of launch. Its market capitalization briefly surged to $10 million before falling back to $4.94 million. The token was described as originating from the name of an early pump.fun project and the company behind it, with pump.fun platform token PUMP serving as the paired base asset. LEVERCAT was quoted at a $5 million market cap, with a 24-hour gain of 277%. According to the report, the token uses Hylo’s leveraged SOL token xSOL as its paired base asset.

Bitcoin2026-09-09 06:52:44JackYi Says Bitcoin Entered a Correction Phase on Aug. 22 With a Rough 19-Day CycleBitcoin rose for five straight days after starting its latest upswing on Aug. 17, then moved into a correction phase on Aug. 22, according to comments cited by ChainCatcher from market watcher JackYi. He said the pullback is expected to last about 19 days. JackYi described the move as a normal upward-sloping correction within a broader advance, with a trading range of about $6,000 and resistance near 823. He added that a bull market does not move in a straight line and that conditions keep shifting, so shorting is not appropriate during a broader bull trend. He also said traders should keep an eye on daily-chart adjustments. Beyond the broader market, JackYi pointed to localized bullish signs in RH on-chain activity, ZEC, and exchange-traded tokens. In his view, current market conditions are close to the period just before the strong bull market seen in 2020.920
France2026-09-08 10:33:04Chainalysis estimates $9.4 billion in taxable on-chain crypto activity in France for 2025Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis estimates that France could see $9.4 billion in potentially taxable crypto activity in 2025, according to a report cited by Bitcoin.com News and carried by Odaily. The figure breaks down into $5.2 billion tied to payments, $2.5 billion in capital gains, and $1.7 billion from mining and staking income. The report also points to a gap between estimated taxable activity and declared returns. French taxpayers reported €368 million in net gains for the 2024 tax year, covering about 24,000 people. That was up from roughly 7,700 people and €150.8 million a year earlier. Chainalysis said crypto tax non-compliance in some countries may exceed 90%. On the policy side, the European Union’s eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation, or DAC8, took effect on Jan. 1, 2026. It requires crypto service providers to collect user identity and transaction data. Tax authorities in EU member states are set to begin cross-border exchanges of those records on Sept. 30, 2027. Chainalysis added that the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF, currently covers about 14% of potentially taxable on-chain activity worldwide.1030
