The 2026 landscape features a surge in on-chain options vaults (DOVs) and structured products that simplify complex "Greeks" for retail users.

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

The post Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A pipeline carries crude oil at Big Hill near Beaumont, Texas, U.S. (Photo: Joe Raedle/Newsmakers) Getty Images Global oil prices retreated sharply from two-week highs on Tuesday, following demand concerns and talk of further U.S. trade tariffs by President Donald Trump. Global proxy benchmark – Brent – saw its front-month futures contract close in London at $66.87 per barrel, down 2.11% or $1.46. Stateside, at 13:39pm EDT on Tuesday, the U.S. West Texas Intermediate front-month contract traded 2.27% or $1.47 lower at $63.33 per barrel. The intraday drop in prices came after crude futures posted gains in the region of 3% following an impasse in talks on ending the Ukraine war between the U.S. and Russia and lower inventory data. Market chatter on the U.S. Federal Reserve easing its monetary policy stance in favor of a September rate cut was also seen as being supportive of demand. However, the price uptick was abruptly halted and subsequently reversed on Tuesday after Trump said Russia would face “very heavy” sanctions if it did not make efforts to end the war and opened a direct negotiating channel with Ukraine. Reports are also emerging that Ukraine may have knocked out a fifth of Russia’s refining capacity via drone attacks, severely curtailing Moscow’s ability to service its war economy. According to Euronews, Ukraine’s recent strikes on ten Russian oil refineries have reportedly disrupted at least 17% of the country’s total refining capacity. That is an equivalent of 1.1 million barrels per day.

Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!”

Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!”

The post Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite the mild statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Bitcoin and altcoins experienced a sharp correction. Bitcoin has fallen to around $110,000, dragging down the overall cryptocurrency market as forced liquidations, along with increased short-term volatility ahead of key U.S. economic data this week, have also weighed on the cryptocurrency market. At this point, Bitcoin fell to a seven-week low due to strong downward market pressure from the liquidation of large leveraged positions, while Ethereum fell to $4,300. Speaking to The Block, Deribit head of research Sean Dawson said it had been a bloody start to the new week. At this point, the analyst argued that BTC is likely to retest $100,000 by the end of September, while ETH is likely to retest $4,000. According to Dawson, the recent correction has caused an increase in volatility, with BTC’s daily implied volatility rising from 15% to 38% and ETH’s from 41% to 70%. Dawson attributed the sudden surge in volatility to investors rushing to hedge ahead of the release of second-quarter US GDP and employment data. Dawson also noted that the volatility in options markets reflects investors’ cautious approach. Based on the data, the analyst noted that the 25-delta slope in the options market has turned negative for both assets, indicating increased demand for put options. This reflects a short-term bearish trend. At this point, Dawson predicted that BTC is likely to retest $100,000 by the end of September, while ETH is likely to retest $4,000. “The data shows us that options traders prefer put options over call options. This is the strongest downside protection demand we’ve seen in the last two weeks, with investors appearing to be preparing for a potential retest of the $4,000 levels for ETH and $100,000 for BTC by the end of September. *This is not…

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

The post RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TORONTO, CANADA – APRIL 3 : RJ Barrett (9) of Toronto Raptors in action during the NBA basketball game between Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on April 3, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Mert Alper Dervis/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images The Toronto Raptors have a roster that is both intriguing, and gushing of implosion vibes, all at the same time. During the trade deadline, the organization traded for Brandon Ingram, and have since handed him an extension worth $40 million per year, despite the presence of both Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett, offering up the obvious question: How are they all going to play at the same time? More than likely, they’re not. They might start together, and play spot minutes together all three, but mostly they’d have to get their minutes staggered. It’s also not out of the realm of possibility that the Raptors decide to pivot off one of their wings, in order to gain more roster symmetry. As Barnes is viewed as a foundational piece for the Raptors, and Ingram has yet to play a single game for the franchise, odds are good Barrett will be the one to get shopped down the line. What do the Raptors need? Assuming Barrett is shopped, the Raptors are going to need a few things, starting with more shooting. As Barnes is not yet a natural long-range shooter, and Ingram a reluctant one, it stands to reason the Raptors should look at players who can help space the floor, both off the dribble, and off the catch. Chicago’s Coby White, and Boston’s Derrick White, would be interesting candidates, although a deal with Chicago would be easier to facilitate given the salary attached to Coby ($12.8 million), than that of Derrick’s…

French Chipmaker Sequans Bets $200M on Bitcoin Treasury Play

The company has filed for an at-the-market (ATM) equity program that will allow it to issue up to $200 million worth of American Depositary Shares (ADSs). The proceeds? Not for R&D, not for acquisitions, not even for shareholder dividends—this money is earmarked primarily for one thing: Bitcoin.

CME Group announces XRP futures fastest contract to cross $1 billion open interest

CME Group announces XRP futures fastest contract to cross $1 billion open interest

The post CME Group announces XRP futures fastest contract to cross $1 billion open interest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP futures became the fastest contract in CME Group history to cross $1 billion in open interest (OI), achieving the milestone in just over three months. CME Group reported its crypto futures suite surpassed $30 billion in notional open interest for the first time, with XRP and Solana futures each crossing the $1 billion threshold. Additionally, Ethereum reached the OI record of $10.5 billion. The derivatives exchange stated: “Our Crypto futures suite just surpassed $30B in notional open interest for the first time ever. Our SOL and XRP futures, along with ETH options, each crossed $1B in OI, with XRP being the fastest-ever contract to do so, hitting the mark in just over 3 months.” Strong trading activity XRP futures recorded their largest daily volume since July 15 on Aug. 25, with 7,533 contracts traded and over $1 billion in total volume, according to CME data. The activity demonstrates appetite for regulated XRP exposure through CME’s CFTC-supervised platform. The milestone comes as traditional finance firms seek cryptocurrency derivatives products. CME launched XRP futures in May 2025, providing institutions with standardized contracts settling to the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth, connected the futures activity to potential spot ETF demand on Aug. 26. He said: “CME Group says XRP futures contracts have crossed over $1 billion in open interest… Fastest-ever contract to do so (took just over 3mos). There’s already $800+mil in futures-based xrp ETFs. Think people might be underestimating demand for spot xrp ETFs.” After the CME XRP futures launch on May 19, Geraci noted that spot ETFs were only a matter of time. The affirmation is likely because analysts view regulated futures markets as a crucial requirement for spot crypto ETF approvals. Several asset managers have filed for spot XRP ETFs with the SEC,…

Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs

Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs

The post Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Dow Jones backslid on Monday from all-time peak last Friday. Investor sentiment remains high, but market has trimmed a little off the top. A quiet start to the week gives way to the latest batch of US inflation data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) saw a slight decline on Monday, with the major equity index easing back from record highs posted last week. Market exuberance at what investors are broadly interpreting as a dovish appearance from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell has given way to a sedate start to the week as investors brace for the latest round of key US inflation data. Jerome Powell’s appearance at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium sent global markets scrambling to ramp up bets of an interest rate cut on September 17. According to market participants, Fed Chair Powell gave a far more dovish speech than many had expected. To the Fed head’s credit, despite the special occasion calling for some extra verbiage, very little of Powell’s testimony strayed very far from the standard “data dependent” speech notes that have circled the Fed over the past year. With Jackson Hole now fading into memory, investors are pivoting to face a dangerous week: US Durable Goods Orders, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) inflation. The key data release this week will be PCE inflation, which is slated for Friday. Markets are still betting that the Fed will be more concerned about rapidly declining US job figures than near-term inflation effects when the Fed’s next interest rate call rolls around on September 17. However, any unpleasantness in this week’s PCE inflation print could throw a hard wrench into the works. Despite very real concerns that the US labor market is softening much faster than many expected, a…
