$STRC ‌ ‌ ‌
THE PERFORMANCE GAP
A surprising divergence has emerged inside the Strategy ecosystem. Over the 12 months ending August 14, 2026, Strategy’s STRC preferred stock gained approximately 9%, while Bitcoin declined about 47% over the same period. Michael Saylor highlighted the comparison on August 16, putting the spotlight on how different layers of the same capital structure can behave very differently.
WHY STRC HELD UP
The biggest difference is income. STRC is a preferred security rather than common equity or direct Bitcoin exposure, and its current regular dividend rate is 12% annu

OW said yesterday that #Niulai is a very suitable alpha play.
If it launches, it starts at $50 million; depending on subsequent catalysts, $60–70 million will be a major hurdle.
Once it breaks through, $200 million should come easily, and with the community bringing in more diamond whales, $1 billion is also possible.
In addition, related projects around Niulai have also started gaining traction:

#ETH Complete Market Analysis — Ethereum (ETH/USDT)
Current Price: 1,886 USDT
Ethereum remains one of the most important assets in the crypto market, and at 1,886 USDT, ETH is trading near a critical decision zone. The short-term structure is cautiously bullish, but the market needs to reclaim important resistance levels before a stronger upside move can be confirmed.
ETH can benefit from improving crypto-market sentiment, institutional activity, network adoption, DeFi activity, staking demand and broader Bitcoin-led market momentum. However, volatility remains hig

#GateTop1GrowthInJuly Gate’s July Growth Was More Than a Number
JULY BROUGHT A CLEAR SIGNAL
Gate’s July performance stands out because the growth was not limited to one isolated metric. The latest available exchange data shows Gate’s spot trading volume reached approximately $66.1 billion in June, rising 50.8% month over month and representing the fastest growth among the global centralized exchanges tracked in that report. Gate’s spot market share also climbed to 5.95%.
That makes the #GateTop1GrowthInJuly narrative less about a headline ranking and more about the speed at which Gate has bee

🚨 Bitcoin Trend Reversal Signal Emerges — Is the Next Move GREEN or RED?
Bitcoin is approaching a critical point, and the next few moves could determine whether the market enters a stronger recovery or faces another wave of selling.
🟢 GREEN / BULLISH SIGNAL:
If BTC breaks above $64,500 and holds the level with strong buying volume, I expect bullish momentum to increase. My upside targets would be $66,000 → $68,000, with a stronger breakout potentially opening the door to higher levels.
🔴 RED / BEARISH SIGNAL:
If BTC loses $62,500 and fails to recover quickly, selling pressure could increase

$XAUUSD What’s the outlook for gold on Monday? Think through these points first
Gold closed around 4,376 on Friday. After pulling back from last week’s high, gold prices have returned to a pattern of high-level consolidation.
The one thing many people care about most right now is: How will Monday’s opening move? Will the Asian session offer an opportunity, or will it directly choose a direction?
First, the conclusion:
Gold prices are currently in a somewhat awkward position—the medium-term rebound structure remains intact, but the short term has clearly entered a digestion phase. There is cons

The first major upgrade is withdrawal support, giving users more flexibility when managing their funds. This matters because a payment card becomes more useful when moving between spending, holding and withdrawing assets is simpler.

I was wrecked by AKE 😤. I opened a Long position and the price immediately plunged, hitting my SL. I opened a Short position and the price immediately skyrocketed, hitting my SL. 😭💔
$AKE ‌

$ALICE Up another 12% when I woke up—those who bought the dip last night are making a killing. Now at 0.1405, just a step below the 24-hour high of 0.1439, but don’t rush to chase it—this coin’s intraday volatility can reach 19%, more thrilling than a roller coaster.
My move: lightly go long around 0.138, with a stop-loss at 0.133 (a break below would mean a false breakout), and take profit at 0.148. Keep your position below 20%; in this market, staying alive matters more than making money. The $26 million trading volume isn’t particularly large, so beware of market makers pumping and dumping.
