Bitcoin held near $79,500 as whale wallets flipped into broad net distribution for the first time since June, even as a separate theft-linked wallet kept draining in the background.
BTC extended its climb above the 20-EMA while sentiment held at Greed, but a custody gap at a Tether-backed platform and new stablecoin research pointed to friction underneath the calm.
The last 24 hours showed coordinated de-risking rather than panic: BTC and ETH fell in tandem on hawkish Fed signaling while a Japanese treasury narrowed its book toward Bitcoin alone.
A hawkish Fed speech reversed the debasement trade in gold and the dollar, but Bitcoin absorbed the shock without breaking its range - even as ETF flows resumed and Singapore moved to tighten stablecoin reserves.
Bitcoin logged an eighth consecutive day of ETF inflows while testing its heaviest supply wall near $80,000, and Solana broke from the rest of the majors with a 7% move that had no clear headline behind it.
Bitcoin cleared $80K on a short squeeze that left open interest thinner rather than more crowded, while Solana ETF inflows extended a five-day streak - both moves cleaner than the sentiment reading around them.
