Bitcoin analyst PlanB said on X that BTC, at $87,000, is trading above all major realized price indicators, arguing this has made a drop below $53,000 in the current cycle virtually unlikely. PlanB said Bitcoin’s aggregate realized price stands at $53,000, while the 155-day realized price is around $72,000 and the two-year realized price is near $86,000. With BTC above all three levels, PlanB said the likelihood of Bitcoin falling below $53,000 in this cycle has effectively disappeared. PlanB added that the scenario in which Bitcoin must retest the aggregate realized price, as it did in past bear markets, has also become much less likely. PlanB also said 2025 and 2026 appear to be following a typical bull-bear market pattern with shallower pullbacks than in past cycles, and expects Bitcoin to set a new all-time high again within this halving cycle from 2024 to 2028.

AOA, better known as Wonyotti in South Korea, has drawn attention after sharing a full record of trades dating back to 2018 on Dcinside’s Chart Gallery. Earlier today, AOA said AOA would disclose trading and wallet records from March 2018 to December 2021, describing the Excel data as about 600 megabytes and roughly 1.4 million rows. AOA said the release would show cumulative total deposits of 14.4 BTC and cumulative realized profit and loss of 3,537 BTC, or 24,400% in cumulative realized returns. AOA said the disclosure could bring disadvantages, but added AOA hoped it would end further controversy over AOA’s identity and help challenge a long-standing investment industry practice of overstating trading ability through vague proof while presenting verifiable data instead. AOA later shared the trading records, which total about 600 megabytes when decompressed and around 1.4 million rows, through Google Drive. AOA was previously known to have started investing with 6 million won in 2017 and, as of 2024, to have posted cumulative profit of 370 billion won.

A whale holding a large long position on Hyperliquid closed part of a BTC position of 1,000 BTC that had been held for about a month, realizing $8.52 million in profit, according to EmberCN, citing on-chain analyst Ember. The whale built BTC and ETH long positions worth a combined $233 million in late August at around $78,672 for BTC and $2,469 for ETH. The whale still holds long positions worth about $170 million, including 400 BTC and 50,000 ETH, with unrealized profit estimated at about $15.57 million.

Bitcoin has recovered $85,000, and a break above the $87,000-$90,000 range could increase the chances of a renewed push toward $100,000, according to a U.Today analysis. U.Today said BTC rebounded from the $75,000-$76,000 range and moved above its 200-day moving average in the $80,000-$81,000 zone, which had been acting as resistance. The next major resistance stands at $87,000-$88,000, and if BTC clears that level, there is little clear resistance before $90,000, the outlet said. It added that of roughly $612 million in BTC position liquidations over the past 24 hours, about $535 million came from short liquidations, suggesting the breakout triggered a significant short squeeze. Even so, spot buying needs to support the move for the uptrend to continue after the short covering runs its course, U.Today said, adding that whether BTC holds the former resistance area of $80,000-$82,000 as support during any pullback will be a key gauge of trend continuation.

Primus CEO Xavier said during CoinNess Night Live, a CoinNess AMA program held on Telegram, that Samsung Next participated as an investor in the project’s $6.5 million seed round. Xavier added that the investment was particularly meaningful because it was based on shared conviction in fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE, technology. Xavier also said YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, recently joined as an investor, which Xavier described as a sign of growing market trust and interest in the infrastructure Primus is building.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt said XRP could potentially rise to $5.4 over the long term, sharing a long-term XRP chart to support the view.

Xavier, CEO of Primus (PRIM), a decentralized data verification and computing network, said during CoinNess Night Live, our ongoing ask-me-anything program on Telegram, that even when tasks are completed by AI agents, users should put the results through as much verification as possible rather than checking only the final output and trusting it unconditionally. Xavier said Primus supports verifying AI-agent workflows from the process level, which helps improve transparency. Most AI agents operate through API calls, and Primus’ zkTLS technology can prove those calls were actually made, Xavier said. He added this kind of verification can help reduce AI misjudgments, manipulation and unexpected harm, and said building verifiable AI now to manage risk is a more practical approach than trying to predict scenarios 10 years from now.

On-chain analytics platform Santiment said rising crypto prices and rapidly growing open interest are strengthening upside momentum, while accumulated leverage is also increasing the risk of future forced liquidations. In a post on X, Santiment said BTC open interest currently stands at $25.84 billion, ETH at $16.97 billion and SOL at $2.97 billion. It added that about $648 million in short positions was forcibly liquidated during the recent rally, while total crypto open interest rose 7.6%. Santiment said ETH open interest climbed above $17 billion during trading today, topping that level for the first time since January. It added that the uptrend could continue if spot buying remains intact, but future liquidation volume could grow if prices stagnate while leverage continues to build.

Xavier, CEO of decentralized data verification and computing network Primus (PRIMUS), said during CoinNess Night Live, our ongoing AMA program on Telegram, that data privacy is no longer optional. Using global game distribution platform Steam as an example, Xavier said that if a Web3 game offers rewards to users who meet certain conditions, users can use Primus to prove only the Steam data needed to verify they meet those conditions. Xavier added that this removes the need to disclose actual account details and marks the end of an era in which users had no choice but to reveal all of their data.
