DEX

DEXs are peer-to-peer marketplaces where users trade cryptocurrencies directly from their wallets via Automated Market Makers (AMM) or on-chain order books. By removing central authorities, DEXs like Uniswap and Raydium prioritize privacy and user sovereignty. The 2026 DEX landscape is dominated by intent-based trading, MEV protection, and cross-chain liquidity aggregation. Follow this tag for the latest in on-chain trading volume, liquidity pools, and the technology behind permissionless swaps.

Bitcoin Price Warning: Why a 50% Crash Could Be Unstoppable?

Bitcoin Price Warning: Why a 50% Crash Could Be Unstoppable?

Bitcoin price is sitting on shaky ground. The latest ISM manufacturing data shows the US economy grinding through its sixth straight month of contraction, while tariffs, higher costs, and a crippling tax burden weigh heavily on businesses and households alike. For a risk asset like BTC price, this backdrop is toxic. The chart is already flashing weakness, and if these conditions persist, the probability of a crash exceeding 50% is no longer far-fetched—it’s a very real risk.Bitcoin Price Prediction: Manufacturing Contraction and Economic WeaknessThe ISM manufacturing index at 48.7 tells us the US manufacturing sector has been in contraction for six straight months. Manufacturing is a core driver of economic cycles. When it weakens, it usually signals a slowdown in broader economic growth. Even though new orders ticked up, production fell sharply, delivery times are longer, and inventories are rising. This suggests companies are producing less, sitting on more stock, and facing clogged supply chains. Historically, such conditions align with risk-off behavior in financial markets, where investors flee from risk assets like Bitcoin price.Tariffs, Costs, and PessimismManufacturers are trapped in tariff uncertainty. Higher material costs, unpredictable trade policies, and sourcing issues are reducing investment in new equipment and forcing layoffs. This is more than just a sectoral problem—it feeds into broader economic pessimism. When businesses pull back, capital markets tighten. Bitcoin thrives in liquidity-rich, high-risk environments. If tariffs and trade wars push investors into defensive assets, BTC demand could dry up quickly.The Burden of Taxes and Compliance CostsAmerica's Tax Compliance Burden in 2025: Source: Tax FoundationAccording to the Tax Complexity report from Tax Foundation, the tax code analysis adds another layer. In 2025, Americans will spend 7.1 billion hours on tax compliance, costing the economy around $536 billion—nearly 2 percent of GDP. That’s a massive drag on productivity and consumption. Pair this with elevated interest rates and a sluggish manufacturing base, and you have an economy losing growth momentum. For Bitcoin price, this means less disposable income flowing into speculative investments. Retail demand, one of Bitcoin price core supports, could collapse.Bitcoin Price Prediction: What the BTC Price Chart Says?BTC/USD Daily Chart- TradingViewLooking at the BTC daily chart:Bitcoin Price is trading at $111,180, hovering near the midline of the Bollinger Bands. Since mid-July, BTC has been trending downward from the $124,000 peak. It briefly tested support around $107,000 and is now consolidating just above that zone. The Bollinger Bands are narrowing, showing compression that often precedes a sharp move.If BTC price fails to hold $107,000, the next clear support levels are at $100,000, $96,000, and then $88,000. A break of these would confirm a bearish cascade.A drop to the lower end of the projected supports (around $80,000–$85,000) would mean it will be on the path of decline of more than 50% from recent highs.Bitcoin Price Prediction: Why a 50% Crash Is Plausible?If economic contraction deepens: Institutional investors will reduce exposure to speculative assets. Retail demand will shrink under higher living costs and tax burdens.Tariff uncertainty will continue to hurt business sentiment, dragging equity markets lower. Bitcoin, correlated with tech and growth assets, will follow.From a technical perspective, $Bitcoin price is already in a descending structure. Breaking $107,000 could trigger panic selling.ConclusionThe ISM report, combined with tax burdens and high interest rates, paints a picture of an economy under stress. Bitcoin price chart is not showing resilience but vulnerability, with multiple weak supports ahead. If conditions remain the same—manufacturing in contraction, tariffs unresolved, and tax drag in place $BTC could easily crash by 50% or more in the coming months. The $80,000–$85,000 zone looks like a realistic target if macro conditions deteriorate further.

Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience

Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience

The post Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Broadcom Inc. is set to report earnings on Thursday, and all eyes will be on the numbers. This year, the chipmaker has been a major beneficiary of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Since April, the firm’s stock has doubled, adding over $730 billion in market value, making it one of the top performers in the Nasdaq 100 Index. But the meteoric rise raises a key question: How much further can the stock climb? Investors worry that even strong results may fall short of expectations after such a massive rally. Their caution is understandable. Recent earnings from Nvidia and Marvell show that strong reports don’t guarantee market approval. Nvidia shares dropped more than 6% despite a revenue outlook in line with expectations, while Marvell plunged nearly 20% on weaker-than-expected data center sales. These reactions have sparked concerns that Broadcom could face a “sell the news” scenario. Nvidia’s report has already knocked 4% off the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, whereas the broader Nasdaq 100 is less than 1% lower. It’s an example of how brittle investor sentiment has become regarding chip stocks. Broadcom rides the AI surge  Broadcom is poised to report what are likely to be strong numbers in its latest earnings release and has a history of impressive results. Analysts estimate adjusted earnings per share will increase 34% from a year ago, to around $1.67, with revenue growing 21% to $15.8 billion. The obvious driver is artificial intelligence. Analysts predict that AI sales could reach $5.1 billion this quarter. That would represent almost one-third of Broadcom’s overall revenue and a 60% rise from the previous year. That growth highlights how AI has rapidly become a bedrock of Broadcom’s business model. Broadcom’s custom-designed chips, called ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), are at the heart of this expansion. Unlike general-purpose processors, ASICs are engineered…

Uniswap and the End of DeFi’s Innocence

Uniswap and the End of DeFi’s Innocence

For years, the DeFi space has operated under a kind of strategic ambiguity — a state of deliberate innocence. Protocols were presented as immutable, ownerless code, and their governance tokens were carefully stripped of direct economic rights, a convenient fiction designed to sidestep the unforgiving gaze of the regulator. Uniswap, as the sector’s titan, was the prime exemplar of this model: a multi-billion dollar economic engine that, by its own design, was profoundly unprofitable. This era of innocence is now over. The series of events unfolding around Uniswap in 2025 are not merely about a “fee switch” or a token re-rating. They represent a fundamental, system-wide maturation. This is the story of DeFi’s passage from a stateless, anarcho-financial experiment into something far more durable and complex: a parallel financial system learning to build its own institutions and negotiate its own social contract with the world. The first catalyst was not an innovation, but a trial by fire: the regulatory great filter. The SEC’s conclusion of its investigation into Uniswap Labs without enforcement was not simply a victory; it was a demarcation. It created a class of survivors. In a landscape fraught with legal peril, Uniswap passed through the filter, emerging with a form of battle-tested legitimacy that newer, untested protocols simply do not have. This is no longer just a technical moat; it is now a regulatory one. For institutions and risk-averse capital, the choice is not between a hundred DEXs, but between the few that have faced the dragon and survived. With this external threat neutralized, the focus turned inward, to the protocol’s own constitutional crisis. The proposal to form “DUNI,” a legal entity for the DAO, is arguably the most significant development in the history of decentralized governance. It is the moment the DAO, a sovereign on-chain entity, decided to create an embassy in the physical world. This isn’t just about limiting liability; it’s about giving the abstract world of on-chain governance a legal avatar — a body capable of signing contracts, holding assets, paying taxes, and interfacing with the legacy world on its own terms. It is the bridge that makes the concept of a self-sustaining, value-accruing protocol not just a technical possibility, but a legal reality. This legal and regulatory scaffolding provides the cover necessary to dismantle the convenient fiction of the “valueless governance token.” The fee switch is not the invention of a new feature; it is the scheduled demolition of an old, necessary myth. The pretense that a token governing a multi-billion dollar enterprise should have no claim on its revenue was a product of fear. Activating that revenue stream is an act of confidence — an admission that a protocol’s stakeholders deserve to participate in its economic success. It is a return to economic sanity. Yet, the market remains trapped in a crisis of imagination. Its models, honed on narratives of memes and short-term liquidity rotations, are ill-equipped to price an asset like UNI under this new paradigm. The market knows how to value a story, but it has forgotten how to value a business. The disconnect between Uniswap’s current market capitalization and its potential cash-flow-based valuation is not a simple inefficiency; it is a reflection of the market’s psychological lag. It is still pricing the memory of DeFi’s innocent, unprofitable past, not the reality of its institutionalizing future. What we are witnessing with Uniswap is not merely a token getting a catalyst. It is a blueprint for how a decentralized network matures. It survives the great filter of regulation, builds the legal and social structures for self-governance, and finally, rewrites its own social contract to align its stakeholders with its economic success. The bet on UNI today is no longer a speculative bet on the future of DeFi. It is a value investment in the premier institution of a new, parallel financial state. The innocence is gone, and in its place is something far more powerful: a sustainable enterprise.

CoinLobster Live: Combined Ethereum Trades

CoinLobster Live: Combined Ethereum Trades

Real-time visibility into every swap happening on Ethereum. Today we’re launching our new Live Combined Ethereum DeFi Trades tool to help traders monitor Uniswap activity in real-time. Press enter or click to view image in full size Why build another tool? Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem moves fast — thousands of swaps per hour, new tokens launching every day, whales entering and exiting positions without warning. You can track trades on Etherscan or Uniswap token explorers, but it’s fragmented and slow. That’s why we built the CoinLobster Ethereum Trades feed — to pull all trades together into a single real-time dashboard, so you can see what’s happening across Uniswap at a glance.Etherscan Latest TransactionsUniswap Token Explorer What does it track? The tool processes live swap data for Ethereum-based DEX trades (Uniswap for now), and aggregates it into clear, trader-friendly views:

  1. Total trades, volume, and buy/sell ratio for the day
  2. Real-time feed of every trade with token, amount, trader, and tx hash
  3. Top traders by daily volume
  4. Hot tokens with the most activity
  5. Whale trades (10 ETH+) flagged automatically
  6. Token categories like High Volume or New Launch What can I use it for? Depending on your style, there are many use cases:
  7. Spot whale moves as they happen Seeing their buys and sells in real time helps you react quickly, whether that means joining a momentum move early or stepping back before the market turns.
  8. Track new tokens launching on-chain Many new projects start trading directly on-chain before they appear on exchanges. By tracking these launches as they happen, you can discover emerging tokens early, while also applying filters to avoid scams or illiquid pairs.
  9. Identify which tokens are trending in volume and swaps Volume and swap activity often reveal where trader attention is focused. Tokens with rising activity tend to have deeper liquidity and stronger price momentum, making it easier to enter and exit positions without getting stuck.
  10. See which wallets are consistently winning Not all traders succeed consistently, but some wallets demonstrate steady profits over time. Tracking these wallets can reveal which strategies work across different market conditions and help you separate genuine signals from noise. With CoinLobster’s paid copy trading feature, you can go one step further — not just watching profitable wallets, but automatically mirroring their trades in real time.
  11. Monitor live market flow without refreshing a dozen tabs Instead of juggling multiple explorers and dashboards, the Combined Ethereum Trades feed brings everything into one real-time view. This makes it easier to keep track of the overall flow of the market, spot opportunities faster, and cut down on distractions. Below we highlight a few of the things you can do — but we trust you’ll find your own edge once you start using it. Q: How do I see which tokens are hot today? A: The “Hot Tokens” section highlights tokens with unusually high ETH inflows. If whales are piling into something, you’ll see it here in real time. Q: How can I focus only on the trades that matter to me? A: Use the filters. You can set minimum trade sizes, choose to see only buys or sells, filter by token symbol, or even set a whale threshold to only display large moves. This makes it easy to cut through noise and zero in on the signals that fit your strategy. Q: Why only Uniswap right now? A: Uniswap is still the dominant DEX on Ethereum and the best place to start. But this is just the beginning — we’re already working on integrating other protocols and networks (Arbitrum, Base, Solana, etc.) to give an even broader view of on-chain trading. To be continued… If you haven’t tried it yet, check out the CoinLobster Live Combined Ethereum Trades tool today! 👉 CoinLobster.com/defi We’ve got many other features planned and would love your feedback — drop a comment here or tweet us at @CoinLobster with what you’d like to see next.

USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank

USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank

The post USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) is tracking a little higher overall on little or no new developments. The minor lift in the USD may simply reflect a mild rebound from yesterday’s losses as the Dollar Index (DXY) remains well within recent ranges, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. USD firms modestly but holds broader range in quiet trade “High beta/developing market FX is bearing the brunt of the decline versus the USD, with the AUD leading losses among the core major currencies. A sharp fall in Chinese stocks earlier, reflecting reports that regulators are considering measures to cool market gains, may be a factor here. Beyond that, however, markets appear to be shrugging off yesterday’s Beige Book, which reported generally flat activity across the US economy, and the JOLTS data, which reflected a further slowing in the US labor market and some further drift in US yields.” “Job openings in July fell by more than expected and June data was revised lower. The fall in job openings came in areas that had previously provided leadership (government, health). This morning’s ADP jobs data at 8.15ET is expected to reflect slower private sector hiring in August, meanwhile. Although the ADP data does no track the NFP report that closely on a month-by-month basis, the broader trend in in the two reports (observed via the 6m average, in the chart below) shows a closer alignment, especially over the past year.” “Both series clearly reflect a clear slowing in the US labour market. Just how weak the jobs picture looks in August will shape expectations for Fed policy changes at the September 17th FOMC and perhaps beyond. In addition to the ADP report, US weekly claims, Productivity, Trade and ISM data are out this morning. Fed Presidents (voters) Williams (hawk) and…

Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG

Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG

The post Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The major foreign exchange rates have remained relatively stable overnight after the pick-up in volatility in recent days triggered in part by the sell-off at the long-end of global bond markets. Global bonds recovered some lost ground yesterday providing some temporary relief and helping to stabilize the foreign exchange market, MUFG’s FX analyst Lee Hardman reports. Softer US labour market attracts attention “The Japanese Yen (JPY) and JGBs have come under renewed selling pressure in recent days that helped to temporarily lift USD/JPY up to a high yesterday of 149.14 in response to fresh political uncertainty in Japan. There has been heightened speculation over the future of Prime Minister Ishiba. According to Bloomberg, the LDP is expected to vote on Monday on whether to bring forward a leadership election that is currently scheduled to take place in 2027. The party will be compelled to hold an early election if over half of the 342 party lawmakers and regional representatives seek one on Monday.” “However, the LDP have stated that the vote will not be anonymous which could work in Prime Minister Ishiba’s favour. Recent surveys from Yomiuri newspaper and broadcaster NHK have revealed that about 100 people are in favour of an early election compared to 50 who are against it whereas the remaining half of eligible electors are undecided. If an early leadership election is called, the yen could weaken further at least initially as market participants are wary that Sanae Takaichi, who came second in the last leadership contest, remains one of the favourites to be the next prime minister.” “The rise in USD/JPY in recent days has also been driven by board-based US dollar strength which helped to lift the dollar index by just over 1%. The US dollar initially benefitted from more risk-off trading conditions triggered…

The state of Union: Mainnet, momentum, and the path to global interop

The state of Union: Mainnet, momentum, and the path to global interop

The post The state of Union: Mainnet, momentum, and the path to global interop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Interoperability has always been crucial to crypto’s future. With Union, it is finally becoming practical at scale. While interoperability’s importance is widely agreed upon, solutions to date have largely fallen short. Fragmentation continues to silo ecosystems. Insecure bridges remain points of failure. Too many users and developers are forced to rely on centralized third parties to move assets across chains. Union’s response comes in the form of a secure, hyper-efficient messaging layer that brings trustless interoperability to any chain. By combining consensus verification with zero-knowledge proofs, the protocol offers security, speed, and scalability that existing interoperability offerings cannot match. Where most bridges are capped at connecting around a hundred or so chains, Union can scale to thousands. With Union mainnet now live, realizing the core team’s vision truly begins. This recent landmark milestone lays the foundation for a future where all chains—from EVM to MoveVM to BitVM to IBC—can connect seamlessly. And the timing could not be more optimal. In moves like Circle’s Arc initiative, the industry’s biggest players have been actively doubling down on crosschain strategies. In this article, we’ll walk through where Union stands today, why mainnet represents such a significant leap forward, and what’s coming next in its mission to deliver interoperability without compromise. Tech, traction, and momentum Union is a zero-knowledge-based messaging layer purpose-built for secure, trustless interoperability across all chains. With mainnet now live, it enters the market as a breakout project already carrying respectable traction, ecosystem alignment, and narrative clarity. Leading into the full-scale launch, $48 million was already secured on Union’s alpha mainnet (with 98% of it being transferred into the Babylon ecosystem), 325 million testnet transfers were completed, and the protocol completed a record-breaking Groth16 Trusted Setup Ceremony with 5,866 contributors—the largest in history. Across testnet, Union supported 12 networks, with the…
