CoinMarketCap's top 10 held as of 15:00 UTC on 12 Aug 2026, with all ten tickers unchanged. The 24-hour action sat in…
Perplexity's $1.75 target sits roughly 70% above spot; XRP first has to clear $1.20 resistance and hold $1.00 support before that thesis deserves weight.
The call hinges on a supply squeeze: $52.1B in cumulative spot ETF inflows, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve absorbing supply, and 401(k) access all stacking against 21 million coins.
A Teraswitch routing failure knocked nearly 29% of staked SOL offline and exposed how much of the network's stake was concentrated behind a single connectivity provider.
The $1 break unwinds a November 2024 threshold, and the 200K Coreum bridge drain landed the same week leverage rebuilt against a thinning order book.

The structural read: profitable renewable mining requires Bitcoin to outpace hashrate growth by 15+ points annually, a spread the network has rarely sustained.
