FLOCK token surges amid Coinbase and Upbit listings
- Flock, native to decentralized AI platform FLock.io, is one of the tokens to experience a notable price surge in the past 24 hours.
- The FLOCK token is up double digits but rose over 150% amid listing on major exchanges Coinbase and Upbit.
Flock token’s price rose from lows of $0.25 in early trading to hit highs near $0.69, gaining by over 150% as Coinbase and Upbit listed FLOCK on Base.
The gains left bulls targeting highs last seen in January when FLOCK reached its all-time high of $0.89.
However, profit taking has derailed this milestone as prices drop to lows of $0.47. Flock.io nonetheless still sports more 24-hour gains than LAUNCHCOIN and other top daily performers on the day.
Coinbase and Upbit listings help FLOCK price soar
FLOCK’s price rose as Coinbase added the decentralized AI platform’s native token to Coinbase DEX. The move ignited a price surge for FLock.io, with this happening within hours to see bulls propel from $0.25 to $0.69.
“Big news for DeFi traders! $FLOCK is officially listed on Coinbase DEX and Coinbase Markets. You can now transfer $FLOCK from Base and trade it on Coinbase. Another step forward for decentralized AI,” FLock.io posted on X.
Meanwhile, Coinbase also announced support for FLOCK on Base as it added trading support for SPX6900 (SPX) on the Ethereum network.
The exchange said transfers for the two assets will be available on Coinbase and Coinbase Exchange in the regions where it offers trading support, with trading set to go live on or after 9AM PT on September 9, 2025 subject to liquidity conditions being met.
SPX-USD and FLOCK-USD trading pairs are set to launch in phases, the exchange said.
Trading support for FLOCK on Coinbase saw the token’s trading volume spike amid heightened demand. Per CoinMarketCap, the daily volume for Flock jumped by more than 2,600% in 24 hours to over $339 million.
It’s a scenario that unfolded as South Korea’s leading exchange Upbit also announced the listing of FLOCK on Base.
This triggered further gains for the token, which rose more than 150%. Upbit’s support for FLOCK trading pairs in the Korean Won (KRW) market could add to a fresh surge in volume.
Congrats to our core partner @FlockAI on their KRW listing at Korea’s #1 exchange, Upbit! 🇰🇷

What does this mean for FLOCK price?
The dual listings have amplified FLOCK’s visibility and liquidity, likely positioning the project for fresh adoption. Focus on privacy-preserving federated learning and blockchain-based data sovereignty resonates with industries like healthcare and finance, where secure AI model training is key.
Flock’s gains come amid a robust initiative that has seen the FLock Foundation lock millions of FLOCK, helping the project’s long-term vision and growth.
“By locking for the max period, we’re showing our commitment to building lasting value alongside the FLock community,” Flock Foundation said.
Staking support and the latest rapid price spikes suggests FLOCK’s sustained growth could continue. Key price levels to watch include $0.40 and $0.70.

Chainlink eyes $27 as ETF talks intensify; Check forecast
Key takeaways
- LINK is up nearly 6% and is currently trading above $23 per coin.
- Grayscale has filed to convert its existing LINK trust into the GLNK ETF and could include staking if approved.
Grayscale files to convert its LINK trust into an ETF
Digital asset manager Grayscale has filed with the U.S. SEC to convert its existing Chainlink Trust into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). According to the S-1 registration statement submitted to the regulator on Monday, Grayscale stated that if approved, the ETF would trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker GLNK.
The filing also includes a potential staking feature. If approved, the ETF would use third-party staking providers while keeping the LINK tokens in custodian wallets. Grayscale explained that the ETF could retain the staking rewards, distribute them to stakeholders, or sell them to cover expenses.
LINK eyes $27 as altcoins rally higher
The LINK/USD 4-hour chart is bullish but inefficient, as altcoins have been rallying since the start of the week. LINK is currently trading above $23 and is now targeting its recent high.
The RSI of 63 shows that LINK is heading into the overbought territory, while the MACD lines are also within the bullish region. If the rally continues, LINK could hit the high of $27.94 recorded on August 22nd. However, LINK could temporarily dip to $22 to gain efficiency before rallying higher. An extended rally would see LINK test the $30 psychological mark over the coming days or weeks.
However, in the event of a market correction, LINK could retest the TLQ and support level at $21. Failure to hold this support level could see LINK drop below $20 for the first time in over four weeks.

Key takeaways
- BTC is approaching the $113k mark again as the bullish momentum grows.
- Surpassing the $113k resistance level could see BTC surge towards the $117k mark in the near term.
Corporate entities continue to buy more Bitcoins
The cryptocurrency market is having a positive start to the week, with most coins and tokens currently in the green. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, overcame the $107k low last week and is now trading close to the $113k mark.
BTC is up by 1.55% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $112,900. The rally could see BTC surpass the $113k resistance level in the near term and rally higher over the next few hours.
The positive performance also comes as corporate entities continue to increase their exposure to Bitcoin. Michael Saylor’s Strategy announced on Monday that it acquired 1,955 BTC for $217.4 million at $111,196 per bitcoin and has achieved a BTC Yield of 25.8% YTD 2025.

According to the company, it purchased 136 bitcoins for 16.55 million Japanese yen ($111,830) per coin. Metaplanet is moving towards its target of hitting 30,000 Bitcoins before the end of the year.
BTC eyes $117k as bullish momentum grows
The BTC/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish despite Bitcoin’s recent positive run. The sentiment is, however, shifting bullish as buyers begin to dominate the market. The RSI of 63 shows that buyers are in control, and BTC could soon enter the overbought region.
The MACD lines are also within the positive territory, indicating a bullish bias. If the rally continues, BTC could break above the $113,541 resistance over the next few hours and target the $117k high. An extended bullish run would see BTC rally towards the $120k FVG.
However, the market could encounter a correction following the recent rally. If that happens, BTC could retest the $111k low over the next few hours.

LAUNCHCOIN price pump leads to $4m loss for crypto trading firm
- Launch Coin on Believe price rose suddenly, jumping 60% to highs of $0.118.
- Gains saw a surge in liquidations, with crypto trading firm.
Launch Coin on Believe (LAUNCHCOIN) price surged nearly 60% in early trading on Tuesday, with the altcoin’s sudden pump leading to significant losses for shorts.
The token’s rapid price increase also triggered a cascade of liquidations, with on-chain data showing a liquidity provider suffered losses of over $4 million.
Launch Coin on Believe price sees sudden 60% pump
Cryptocurrencies like Worldcoin and MYX Finance are riding bullish news to top gainers charts over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, small cap token LAUNCHCOIN is also attracting social chatter.
As noted, the Launch Coin on Believe price experienced a sharp price surge amid a nearly 60% spike. Trading around $0.076 in early deals during the Asian session, LAUNCHCOIN suddenly pumped to $0.132.
This sudden jump accounted for a 60% rise that hit many traders betting on a continued consolidation or downturn.
With intense buying pressure, driven by speculative trading and potential market manipulation, LAUNCHCOIN saw its daily trading volume skyrocket.
According to CoinGecko, the rapid ascent pushed volume on centralized crypto exchanges such as LBank and Bitget 540% up, and stood around $255 million in 24 hours.
The more than fourfold increase in volume from the day before attests to the sharp uptick in market activity.
$4 million loss amid cascade of liquidations
While buyers celebrated the meteoric price surge, LAUNCHCOIN’s gains saw a notable market player suffer significant losses.
According to analytics account Lookonchain, a wallet linked to the market maker GSR suffered one of the biggest losses as the token’s price rose.
The wallet, shown to have been hedging a short position on LAUNCHCOIN, was fully liquidated. It meant a loss equivalent to $4 million as GRS Market’s other positions saw a cascade of liquidations on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid.
As liquidation on LAUNCHCOIN’s gains hit the leveraged positions betting against a price increase, other positions too were wiped out. Lookonchain notes GRS Market’s other short positions caught in the carnage included Mantle, Popcat, Chainlink and Lido DAO.
“The liquidation of #GSRMarkets’ short position triggered a domino effect, wiping out their other shorts on $MNT, $POPCAT, $LINK, and $LDO, and zeroing out the account,” Lookonchain posted.
LAUNCHCOIN’s price currently hovers around $0.091, slightly off its intraday high. The $0.08 level, above which bulls took charge for the spike, is likely to be critical if price falls further.
As LAUNCHCOIN looks for a decisive move, analysts say the event highlights how the cryptocurrency trading market can offer opportunity but also be a brutal arena with fortunes shifting in an instant.
