Bitcoin Hits Eight-Month High Near $85,000 After ETF Inflows and Short Squeeze

Written on .

Bitcoin traded as high as about $85,200–$85,400 on Monday, 21 September 2026, its strongest level since late January, after U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs finished last week slightly in the black and a short-covering cascade forced buying. The global market cap recovered toward $2.8–$2.9 trillion. The bounce followed midweek shocks: the Federal Reserve’s first rate increase in more than three years and a failed Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY...

Shiny Coins #26 – Warsh Hikes, Zcash Prints $1,500, Uniswap Gets the Stock Tape

Written on .

Friday, September 18, 2026. Bitcoin last printed around $81,200, up about +5% on seven days that started with a Fed chair and ended with an $81k screenshot. Last Saturday we sat near $77,280 waiting for Wednesday. The FOMC delivered exactly what the hot core print had advertised: a unanimous 25-basis-point hike to a 3.75–4.00% funds range — the first increase since 2023 — and a dot plot that still wants another quarter-point before...

Saturday, September 12, 2026. Bitcoin last printed around $77,280, down −3.0% on seven days that hid two circuses. The tape leaked from last Friday’s ~$79,670 close into the mid-$76,000s, then August CPI landed: headline +0.4% / +3.4% year-over-year in line, core +0.3% versus 0.2% expected, annual core 2.4%. Bitcoin wicked to roughly $76,050, ripped toward $79,800, and parked back at $77k. Spot bitcoin ETFs flipped last week’s $731 million...

Unruggable ICOs - MetaDAO and the Million Exemption.

Unruggable ICOs? MetaDAO and the $5 Million Exemption

Written on .

In four days in 2025, wallets committed about $155 million of USDC to Umbra, a Solana privacy protocol raising on MetaDAO. The project kept $3 million. The rest went back. That gap is the whole story in miniature. Public token sales are noisy again. They are not the 2017 version of public token sales. The money that actually stays in a treasury is smaller, slower, and — if the pitch is honest — harder to steal. MetaDAO, a Solana venue that...

Liquid’s $320M Drain and a Hot Jobs Print Cap Bitcoin Near $79,300

Written on .

Bitcoin trades near $79,300 on Monday, 7 September 2026, after failing to hold a break above $81,400 over the weekend and slipping as U.S. equity futures rose on the Labor Day holiday. Spot bitcoin ETFs still absorbed $986.9 million in the week ended 4 September — the third straight inflow week, led by BlackRock’s IBIT at $691.5 million — so the tape is split between persistent institutional bid and a hawkish macro overlay. August payrolls...
