Just $607 Million in 24 Hours: Cardano Open Interest Crashes in Market Wipeout

Cardano saw its open interest plunge as the crypto market intensified an earlier sell-off on Friday.

In the last 24 hours, Cardano’s open interest came in at just $607 million, a 8% drop over this time frame, according to CoinGlass data.

At press time, Cardano was down 5.44% in the last 24 hours to $0.3274, in line with the crypto market sell-off that has seen $1.74 billion in daily liquidations. Long positions, or traders expecting prices to rise, accounted for majority of this figure.

A total of $1.64 billion in long crypto positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours, dampening sentiment as investors consider what’s ahead.

A successor to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is expected to be announced Friday morning, with indications pointing to former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. Warsh’s track record of prioritizing inflation risks during the global financial crisis combined with his affinity for monetary discipline has spooked analysts and markets.

Cardano welcomes USDCx

At the Midnight Tour in Japan, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson revealed the news that he just signed the integration agreement for USDCx on Cardano while welcoming Circle to the ecosystem.

Hoskinson said in a tweet: “Just signed the integration agreement for USDCx on Cardano. Welcome to Cardano Circle. We are all excited about the possibilities. More from the Pentad soon.”

This announcement caught the attention of the ADA community, including the Cardano Foundation, which sent a congratulatory message to the Cardano community and founder, hinting at exciting times ahead for the ecosystem.

USDCx, while not exactly the same as native USDC, is a 1:1, USD-backed stablecoin fully backed by USDC held in a Circle xReserve smart contract. While USDC is issued directly by Circle, USDCx is a version designed for specific, often privacy-focused, blockchains like Aleo, Canton and Midnight.

The move to integrate USDCx is backed by the Cardano Pentad and a 70 million ADA budget, expecting to tap into liquidity to boost Cardano’s $300 million DeFi ecosystem for lending, trading and more.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
