Bitcoin Price Closes Below STH Realized Price For The 2nd Time In 2025 — DetailsNewsBTC, about 1 hour ago
According to the latest on-chain data, the Bitcoin price has closed beneath a crucial level for the second time in 2025. Here’s how the premier cryptocurrency reacted the last time this happened. Is The BTC Price Correction Worsening? In an August 30 post on social media platform X, crypto analyst Burak Kesmeci revealed that the Bitcoin price could be at risk of further corrective action after falling below a critical on-chain level for a second time this year. The relevant indicator here is the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, which measures the price at which short-term investors bought their coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Daily Close Spurs Caution – $110,500 Breakdown Could Shift Momentum For context, short-term holders often refer to investors who have held their coins for 155 days or less. The realized price offers insights into the cost basis of these newer market entrants, who are more sensitive to price fluctuations and show more propensity to move due to sudden changes in prices. The Bitcoin price typically trends above the STH Realized Price during periods of bullish intensity, while it lags below the metric during bear markets. Hence, this short-term realized price often acts as a dynamic resistance and support for the price of BTC. The Bitcoin price recently closed beneath the STH Realized Price of around $108,928 on Friday, August 29. However, that wouldn’t be the first time the price of BTC would be closing below the short-term holders’ cost, as it also did earlier in the year. In February, the market entered into an extended period of correction after the price of Bitcoin closed beneath the STH Realized Price. The flagship cryptocurrency fell almost 20% from around $92,000 to $76,000 between the end of February and the end of April. With the Bitcoin price closing below the Short-Term Holder Realized Price, the premier cryptocurrency stands at risk of the current pullback worsening. If history repeats itself, investors could also see the price of BTC fall 20% to around $86,000. Kesmeci said: In this cycle, as Bitcoin rises not parabolically but like a step-by-step ladder; closings below the STH realized price signal to us that the correction may continue in an annoying way. Bitcoin Price Overview After being under intense bearish pressure going into the weekend, the price of BTC has somewhat stabilized over the past day. However, the Bitcoin price has struggled to return above the psychological $110,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin 8% Below CME Gap Ahead Of Monthly Close — Will History Repeat? As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $108,675, reflecting a 0.4% increase in the past 24 hours.

California Governor Hints At Launching a Trump Corruption CoinBeInCrypto, about 1 hour ago
![California Governor Gavin Newsom has stirred fresh controversy by suggesting the launch of a parody cryptocurrency called the “Trump Corruption Coin.” Newsom floated the idea in an August 29 appearance on the Pivot podcast. He framed it as a response to President Donald Trump’s deepening involvement in the digital asset industry. Why California Governor Wants to Launch a Trump Corruption Coin According to Newsom, Trump’s long record of engagement with crypto firms has created an environment ripe for conflicts of interest. “This is just jaw-dropping. And none of this is normal. Again, none of this is funny. I mean, it’s funny in one respect, but it’s also extraordinary what’s going on. It’s jaw-dropping,” Newsom stated. Newsom also suggested that members of Trump’s family have entered into digital asset deals timed to coincide with policy decisions such as tariffs. Considering this, the governor said he would continue to call out the president’s “graft and corruption [and] self-dealing ” in the crypto industry. Newsom’s remarks underscored a broader argument that Trump’s crypto activities go beyond personal ventures and now intersect directly with his role in government. Trump’s involvement with blockchain projects has expanded considerably since his return to office in January. He has promoted initiatives like the World Liberty Financial platform and its USD1 stablecoin, rolled out TRUMP-branded coins, and backed multiple NFT collections. His son Eric Trump has been especially vocal, saying the family’s interest in crypto grew after traditional banks cut off their access to financial services. Meanwhile, these personal investments have coincided with broader policy actions. His administration has appointed pro-crypto officials like Howard Lutnick to key regulatory roles. It has also signed executive orders designed to integrate digital assets more deeply into mainstream finance. According to him, these steps position the United States as a leader in the fast-growing sector. However, Democrats contend that the overlap between Trump’s personal projects and regulatory agenda is blurring ethical boundaries. Senator Elizabeth Warren and other lawmakers have cautioned that the president’s influence over both policymaking and private ventures risks undermining trust in the regulatory process. As a result, Democratic legislators have since introduced measures to restrict public officials from directly investing in cryptocurrencies.](https://assets.coingecko.com/articles/images/3168837/large/open-uri20250831-7-vjzi9f.?1756656084)

3 Made In USA Coins To Watch For SeptemberBeInCrypto, about 3 hours ago
The crypto market looks set to close August on a positive note, though it remains below the key $4 trillion mark. The total market cap currently sits at $3.87 trillion, still shy of that psychological threshold. Traders are eyeing the upcoming September with renewed interest, helped by expectations of potential rate cuts that could improve risk appetite. Within this backdrop, Made in USA coins have come back into focus. While major tokens like XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Chainlink continue to dominate attention, there are three lesser-watched Made in USA coins that could see action in September. Stellar (XLM) Stellar (XLM) is about to close August deep in the red, down 8.7% over the month and 12.7% over the past week. Yet despite this weakness, it might be one of the Made in USA coins to watch in September. The biggest driver is its real-world asset (RWA) growth, which climbed 12.9% in the last 30 days to $511.42 million in value. That makes Stellar one of the few large-cap projects ending August on a positive fundamental note. Stellar’s RWA Growth: RWA.xyz Higher transaction volumes may also be necessary to sustain this growth — a goal the Stellar Development Foundation is clearly targeting. In an exclusive bit to BeInCrypto, Matt Kaiser, Stellar analyst at Messari, said: “By the end of 2025, the Stellar Development Foundation aims for Stellar to have $3 billion in yield-bearing RWA’s onchain and be a top-ten chain in DeFi TVL. This could create a flywheel where more institutional capital increases user engagement, thereby leading to higher transaction volumes and ecosystem activity.” On the technical front, Stellar may be flashing a short-term bullish signal. The 4-hour chart displays a hidden bullish divergence, where the price made a lower low, but the RSI (Relative Strength Index, a momentum indicator) posted a higher low. Stellar Price Analysis: TradingView At the same time, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator — which compares buying and selling pressure — has turned less negative, validating the fact that sellers are losing strength. If this rare bullish setup continues, XLM could push toward resistance at $0.36 and $0.37, with invalidation below $0.35. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. A move above $0.38 would ensure that the bullish setup shows up even on the daily chart. Story (IP) Story (IP), a layer-1 blockchain designed to anchor intellectual property on-chain, has been one of the standout performers this year. The token is up more than 30% in the past 24 hours, extending its three-month gains to 91%. On a yearly basis, Story (IP) has surged over 300%. The token’s growth comes amid continued speculation about a potential buyback program and after last month’s announcement of the Grayscale Story IP Trust, which further fueled the token’s bullish narrative and pushed it to a new all-time high just a few hours back. Story Price Analysis: TradingView From a technical perspective, Story (IP) has broken out of an ascending broadening wedge, a pattern typically associated with bearish reversals. By pushing past the upper trendline, the IP price has invalidated the bearish outlook and confirmed that bulls remain in control. This is further reinforced by the Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which has flipped higher even as prices consolidated, signaling underlying strength heading into September. At press time, Story trades at $7.86, with immediate resistance at $8.23 and the all-time high near $9.09. A breakout above these levels would place the token again in price discovery mode, opening the door for fresh highs in September. This validates Story’s presence in the Made in USA coins’ list. On the downside, the bullish setup would be invalidated if Story falls below $6.84, with deeper risks emerging below $5.45. Pi Coin (PI) Pi Coin (PI) has been one of the underperformers in 2025. The token is down 4.7% over the past month, up 8% in the past week, but still down over 55% year-on-year. At $0.38, the broader structure remains bearish, yet September could keep traders interested in short-term spikes. Two developments have helped put PI back on the radar as a key Made in USA coin: the recent protocol upgrade that added a Linux node and the launch of a Valour Pi Network ETP among eight new products, both of which have generated some momentum. Pi Coin Price Analysis: TradingView On-chain and technical indicators support the case for near-term moves. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has flipped above zero for the first time in a while, signaling inflows. A decisive move above 0.05 on the CMF would confirm stronger buying pressure. The BBP indicator has also turned positive, pointing to growing bullish momentum. If momentum continues, PI could climb toward $0.46 — a 20%+ rally from current levels. However, if the token breaks under $0.33, the risks of fresh lows below $0.32 return. For now, the setup suggests traders may eye Pi Network for quick intraday or swing moves in September rather than a sustained recovery. It is worth noting that the overall Pi Coin price structure still leans bearish.
Bitcoin Risks Deeper Losses If $107,800 Line Fails To Hold – DetailsNewsBTC, about 3 hours ago
Since reaching a new all-time high of $124,427 on August 14, Bitcoin has entered a prolonged corrective phase, losing 12.18% of its value over the last two weeks. With market prices now moving within the $109,000 range, market analyst Yonsei_dent has identified a pivotal support level to the present bullish market structure. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Will Break This Support Level, Can $100,000 Hold? Bitcoin’s $107,800 Line In The Sand: Support Or Breakdown Ahead? In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, Yonsei_dent shares some technical insight into the Bitcoin market, highlighting several important price levels at the moment. The analyst explains that Bitcoin’s current market price is sitting almost directly on top of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, an important metric that tracks the average cost basis of recently acquired coins. Notably, investors holding coins for 1 week–1 month have an average cost basis of $116,400, while the 1–3 month cohort sits lower at $112,600. Meanwhile, holders in the 3–6 month range show a significantly cheaper cost basis of $93,400. When all these groups of short-term holders are weighted by realized capitalization, the blended average STH cost basis is calculated at around $107,800, i.e., about 1.45%% below present market prices. This alignment makes the $107,800 level a critical line in the sand, so to speak, for the current bullish structure. If Bitcoin remains above this threshold, short-term holders will remain close to breakeven, reducing the likelihood of widespread panic selling. However, if Bitcoin bulls lose this support zone, many new market entrants will fall into loss territory, increasing the potential for a heightened selling pressure. In such a bearish scenario, market participants would likely turn their attention toward the $93,400 support area, where the 3–6 month cost basis resides. This level could provide the next significant cushion, given that investors in this cohort are sitting on healthier profits and are likely to display stronger holding conviction. However, it’s worth stating that the situation is not outright bearish. A decisive recovery above $112,600–$116,400, representing the cost bases of 1–3 months and 1 week–1 month holders, respectively, could restore market confidence and reignite bullish momentum towards a potential return to the present market ATH.

Bitcoin Price Lags Below $110K — On-Chain Levels To WatchNewsBTC, about 4 hours ago
The Bitcoin price has had a mixed performance in August, starting with a positive run-up to a new all-time high above $124,000. The premier cryptocurrency, however, has struggled to sustain this momentum in the final two weeks of the month. On Friday, August 29, the price of BTC fell to a six-week low of around $107,500, mirroring the widespread bearish sentiment in the market going into the weekend. While the market has been somewhat stable over the past day, the Bitcoin price has failed to show any real intent of breaking above the psychological $110,000 level. BTC Investors Should Look Out For These Two Support Levels In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain shared insights on the decline of Bitcoin, revealing that heavy profit-taking by whales was the primary factor behind this corrective phase. According to the on-chain analyst, there are certain levels to watch out for when evaluating the next step for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin 8% Below CME Gap Ahead Of Monthly Close — Will History Repeat? CryptoOnchain revealed two crucial Bitcoin price levels to look out for based on relevant on-chain indicators. Firstly, the crypto analyst identified the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price (1-month – 3-month) as the first line of defense or support for the flagship cryptocurrency. CryptoOnchain described the STH Realized Price as the average acquisition price for investors for investors who have held their for 1 to 3 months. This level has historically served as a strong dynamic support and resistance for the Bitcoin price. According to the analyst, the price of BTC seems to be currently testing the support around this STH Realized Price, as shown in the chart below. Furthermore, CryptoOnchain identified the Realized Value Model’s Mid Price as the ultimate support level to watch for the Bitcoin price. This metric (green line in the chart below), which is based on MVRV and Realized Price, represents the most reliable long-term support level across various market cycles. The on-chain analyst noted that this support level is approximately $92,000, and it could provide the Bitcoin price with the necessary relief if the other short-term supports fail to hold. However, the premier cryptocurrency might have to endure an extended corrective phase if this $92,000 support is broken. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $108,689, reflecting no significant price movement in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the BTC price is down by almost 6% in the past seven days.

World Liberty Financial’s WLFI Open Interest Tops $800 Million Ahead of LaunchBeInCrypto, about 4 hours ago
Speculation around World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token has reached a new peak ahead of its impending September 1 launch. Futures contracts tied to WLFI now show more than $800 million in open interest, highlighting the scale of trader activity before the token even begins spot trading. WLFI Whale With 3x Leverage Books $1 Million Gain Data from CoinGlass shows that WLFI open interest climbed 68% in the past day to $809.3 million, while trading volume jumped 141% to $1.76 billion. According to the data, Binance accounted for more than half of both metrics, with additional activity concentrated on platforms like Hyperliquid and Bitget. World Liberty Financial’s WLFI Token Open Interest. Source: CoinGlass The jump in derivatives activity suggests traders are positioning for volatility around launch. Open interest, which measures active contracts that remain unsettled, is widely watched as an indicator of investor confidence in future price moves. Interestingly, blockchain analytics firm Onchain Lens reported that WLFI contracts listed on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid showed strong bullish momentum. According to the firm, the most notable trade was a leveraged whale account holding more than 8.6 million WLFI, worth around $3.2 million. Initially, the position showed $644,000 in paper gains, but updated estimates from Hyperdash later raised the figure to nearly $1 million. World Liberty Financial’s Whale Profit on Hyperliquid (Source: Hyperdash) The trader is operating with 3x leverage, effectively magnifying potential returns while exposing themselves to higher risk. This bet reflects a conviction that WLFI’s value will climb once the token becomes available to the broader market. Meanwhile, these large speculative positions also help explain why WLFI’s open interest has surged to record levels in recent days. Last week, the Donald Trump-related DeFi venture confirmed that its WLFI token will become open to trading on September 1. Since then, major crypto trading platforms have been preparing for the rollout. Earlier today, OKX announced that it would convert its WLFI pre-market contracts into perpetual futures and had already opened deposits for the token on its platform.
