UK mirrors US sanctions against Russian crypto networks

The UK is following the US’s approach to sanction-evading crypto networks in Russia by enacting its own measures against crypto exchanges, stablecoins, and a Kyrgyzstan bank used to fund military goods.  The UK government announced its sanctions today, claiming that Russia is relying on “the Kyrgyz financial sector to channel money through opaque financial networks, including through the use of cryptocurrencies.” They also target the Grinex and Meer crypto exchanges, the Kyrgyzstan-based Capital Bank of Central Asia, CJSC Tengricoin, Old Vector LLC, and Altair Holding SA.

China's AI Models Becoming Global Standard

Image
China’s free-to-use AI models like DeepSeek, Alibaba, and others are gaining traction worldwide and becoming global standards. The development has given a jolt to American companies and policymakers who fear China’s growth in the artificial intelligence sector could eclipse the US. The Communist country heralded DeepSeek and its R1 reasoning model, becoming the talk of the town. The model was ChatGPT on steroids, and began trending on social media, attracting a bigger base of users. AI companies in the US are now feeling the heat as pressure is growing through intense competition. The US, which led the path of technological innovation, is being elbowed by China’s AI models becoming the global standard. American firms enjoyed a technological monopoly for decades with Microsoft’s operating systems, Google’s search engine, Apple’s iPhone, and the Android systems. However, in the AI sector, the US is unable to monopolize despite boasting of top talent in ...

Ethereum Rainbow Chart predicts ETH price for August 31, 2025

Image
Ethereum’s (ETH) recent rally has cooled, with the asset slipping below the $4,500 mark.  However, the Ethereum Rainbow Chart suggests that higher levels could still be in play by the end of the month for the cryptocurrency. The chart, which applies logarithmic growth curves to long-term valuation bands, categorizes Ethereum’s price into colored ranges. Notably, the model doesn’t predict short-term moves but helps investors gauge whether the asset is undervalued or overheated. Ethereum Rainbow Chart. Source: BlockhainCenter For August 31, 2025, the chart outlines nine possible valuation zones. At the bottom, the ‘Fire Sale’ band spans $899 to $1,217, followed by ‘Undervalued’ ($1,217–$1,680), ‘Accumulate’ ($1,680–$2,359), and ‘Still Cheap’ ($2,359–$3,355). The ‘Steady’ band, often viewed as fair value, ranges from $3,355–$4,832, close to Ethereum’s current trading level. Above that, ‘HODL!’ covers $4,832–$7,015, ‘Is this The Flippening?’ spans $...

Altcoins Setting Up for Rally as One Metric Flashes Bullishness, According to Trader That Called 2021 Crypto Bull Run

Image
A widely followed crypto analyst who called the 2021 crypto bull run says that one metric is flashing a bullish signal, setting altcoins up for a massive rally. In a new strategy session, pseudonymous crypto trader Dave the Wave tells his 153,100 subscribers on the social media platform X that the Bitcoin (BTC) dominance chart appears to be topping, which historically marks an upswing for altcoins. “BTC dom. Take your positions ladies and gentlemen…” Source: Dave The Wave/X The BTC dominance chart keeps track of what percentage of the crypto market’s total market cap belongs to the crypto king and is used to gauge the strength of altcoins. A look at the trader’s chart reveals that in 2021, when BTC’s dominance topped and reversed course, altcoins rose. Moving on to the flagship digital asset, the analyst says that Bitcoin has “plenty” of room for its weekly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to run. Source: D...

Crypto treasury companies are trading for less than their holdings

Image
The number of publicly traded crypto treasury companies has doubled since the start of the year — but many of them are failing to accomplish their goal of attracting a premium from Wall Street. According to various stock trackers, more than a dozen public companies have a market capitalization below the value of their crypto holdings. All crypto treasury companies hope to trade at a multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV) greater than one. Unfortunately, several companies have fallen short of that mark. To be clear, mNAV disregards debts and encumbrances and simply divides the company’s market capitalization by the value of its holdings. In spite of this oversimplified calculation, the shorthand valuation metric is immensely popular. Certainly, an assessment of more than 160 companies would lead some rational investors to consider debts, encumbrances, or other risks to justify an mNAV of less than one. For the more bullish camp, these optimists instantly ...
