Crypto trading on bitcoin.de has been suspended since the end of June because the MiCAR license for futurum bank is still missing. As a result, revenue in H1 fell sharply from €3.8 million to €1.6 million and EBITDA worsened to minus €3.25 million. Liquid assets fell to €3.9 million, while a net crypto holding of around €199 million does not replace ongoing income; management also expects a negative EBITDA in 2026. » More on deraktionaer.de

Solana trades around $85 and would need roughly $2,600 per SOL—about nine times its all-time high—to reach Bitcoin's $1.5 trillion market cap. On-chain usage is surging (weekly DEX volume recently topped Ethereum and TVL hit records), but institutional adoption and ETF assets for SOL remain far behind Bitcoin. Key catalysts cited are the Alpenglow upgrade (targeting ~100–150 ms finality) and growing payment/stablecoin activity, yet structural issues like Alameda/FTX sell pressure and the vast institutional gap make an overtake improbable. Analysts view a nearer-term realistic range for SOL at $200–$300 by end-2026, representing a meaningful but not BTC‑matching recovery. » More on finance.yahoo.com

HBAR faces renewed downward pressure after confirming a three‑month descending broadening wedge while weighted sentiment fell to an all‑time low, reflecting investor skepticism. Hedera's price is highly correlated with Bitcoin (0.92), meaning a sustained BTC rebound above $108,000 could lift HBAR past resistance at $0.172 toward $0.180–$0.188. Conversely, continued bearishness could push HBAR below support at $0.163 toward $0.154 and invalidate the bullish pattern. » More on finance.yahoo.com
