BNB hits new ATH above $900 as Binance’s new DeFi initiatives spark bullish momentum

  • Binance Coin has hit new all-time highs, surpassing the $900 psychological mark.
  • The exchange’s collaboration with Franklin Templeton fueled the upside.
  • The partnership promises institutional-grade solutions.

Cryptocurrencies recorded relief rallies today after the United States PPI data, which increased the odds of rate cuts in the upcoming Fed meeting.

Meanwhile, Binance Coin led the recovery with a stable surge to new all-time highs.

BNB rallied to $905 intraday highs, fueled by Binance’s latest strategic collaboration with global investment manager Franklin Templeton.

The alliance aims to bolster digital finance accessibility globally, deliver institutional-grade monetary solutions, and accelerate tokenized assets adoption.

Binance’s official announcement highlighted:

We aim to bring greater efficiency, transparency, and accessibility to capital markets – while enhancing yield opportunities and settlement speed. This collaboration bridges the scale of traditional finance with the agility of decentralized markets, delivering solutions tailored to the evolving needs of a broad range of investors.

Merging DeFi with TradFi

The alliance has a common goal – transforming the traditional capital markets through decentralized finance.

The $1.6 trillion Franklin Templeton will leverage its experience in tokenizing securities, whereas Binance contributes its massive trading infrastructure and deep liquidity.

The duo plans to introduce innovative investment products that create new yield opportunities, enhance transparency, and streamline transaction settlement.

Commenting on the move, Franklin Templeton’s Head of Digital Assets, Roger Bayston, said:

By working with Binance, we can deliver breakthrough products that meet the requirements of global capital markets and co-create the portfolios of the future. Our goal is to take tokenization from concept to practice for clients to achieve efficiencies in settlement, collateral management, and portfolio construction at scale.

Binance cements institutional focus

The alliance reflects Binance’s dedication to serving institutional players as DeFi merges with traditional finance.

The exchange’s Head of VIP and Institutional, Catherine Chen, emphasized:

Binance has a record of innovating first-in-crypto solutions that unlock access and opportunities for investors. Our strategic collaboration with Franklin Templeton to develop new products and initiatives furthers our commitment to bridge crypto with traditional capital markets and open up greater possibilities.

BNB price outlook

Binance Coin exhibited a bullish structure today, boosted by the collaboration news and broader market recoveries.

It trades at $896 after a slight correction from its all-time high.

The 30% surge in daily trading volume signals revived optimism.

The latest move by Binance US to reduce trading fees also boosted enthusiasm.

BNB remains poised for extended gains.

Holding above $900 could open the doors towards the long-term target of $1,000 in the upcoming sessions.

Meanwhile, broader market sentiments remain crucial.

Extended recoveries would support BNB surges to higher targets, whereas a substantial selling wave would likely delay the rally.

Digital tokens saw relief rallies today after the US PPI data increased the chances of rate cuts.

Bitcoin has reclaimed $113,000 as the global crypto market cap soared to $3.96 trillion (Coinmarketcap data).

Experts anticipate bullish performance from cryptocurrencies in the upcoming sessions, citing the potential rate cuts during the September 17 Fed meeting.

Alts today: Worldcoin rallies on Eightco backing, DOGE eyes ETF approval, FLOCK soars 150%

  • Eightco announced a $270M raise to fund the first-ever Worldcoin treasury.
  • An expert predicts a 93% chance of Dogecoin ETF approval this week.
  • FLOCK skyrockets after Upbit and Coinbase listings.

Altcoins displayed mixed performance on Tuesday as the broader market remained range-bound.

Worldcoin, Dogecoin, and Flock.io dominated fundamental and technical trends in the past 24 hours.

Eightco’s bold move into Worldcoin

WLD traded in the green today after gaining more than 50%.

It hovers at $1.92, with a 240% uptick in 24-hour trading volume confirming significant trader activity.

The altcoin turned bullish after public company Eightco confirmed a $250 million financing round dedicated to a Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy.

The firm revealed that it will use the placement’s proceeds to purchase the tokens, with plans to make Worldcoin the core pillar of its balance sheet.

Meanwhile, Worldcoin has attracted criticism due to its biometric verification, which requires iris-scanning.

Its team argues that the model guarantees security and aligns with the rising artificial intelligence technology.

Commenting on their pivot to Worldcoin, Eightco’s new CEO, Dan Ives, said:

The future of AI requires World to lead the way in this AI-driven Fourth Industrial Revolution. World is the internet of people. While AI gives us infinite abundance, World gives us infinite trust and authentication.

For context, Worldcoin rebranded to World in August 2024.

DOGE ETF approval imminent?

Dogecoin dominated meme coin trends once again, this time with crucial developments that hint at entry into the regulatory financial landscape.

According to Santiment’s analyst Brian Quinlivan, there’s a 93% odds that Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF gains approval and launches in the US this week.

Bloomberg ETF analyst made similar remarks last week, potentially fueling the rumors.

That will mark the first DOGE-focused exchange-traded fund in the American market.

The original meme token hovered at $0.2472 after gaining 4% in the past day.

While the current outlook suggests short-lived rallies, prevailing institutional traction remains crucial in transforming Dogecoin beyond its meme identity.

Nasdaq-listed CleanCore revealed a $175 million Dogecoin treasury last week, while Bit Origin confirmed plans to accumulate DOGE worth $500 million.

Thus, Rex-Osprey’s latest DOJE news grabbed attention.

If approved, the ETF would allow institutional investors to invest in the meme token through brokerage accounts.

That’s essential for players who want to participate in cryptocurrency without the technicalities of buying, holding, or wild volatility.

A Dogecoin exchange-traded fund will likely trigger significant gains for the altcoin.

That would potentially open the path to the highly sought-after $1 in the coming months, especially if other companies adopt similar cryptocurrency strategies.

FLOCK skyrockets 150%

FLOCK led today’s market recovery with a more than 150% price increase in the past 24 hours.

The robust rally came after the decentralized AI trading platform gained key integration on leading cryptocurrency exchanges Upbit and Coinbase.

The alt recorded a sharp jump after the listing before retracing to $0.4354.

Meanwhile, the 3,000% surge in 24-hour trading volume signals robust optimism, likely as the Coinbase and Upbit communities interact with the new token.

Nevertheless, FLOCK exhibits massive volatility, hinting at further declines as the hype cools before establishing a decisive trajectory.

KAITO price soars as Capital Launchpad activity spikes

  • Kaito price rose sharply as several projects launched public sales on the Kaito Capital Launchpad.
  • The token jumped to above $1.52 before retreating slightly to around $1.39.
  • Gains came amid a key milestone of $170 million in pledged allocations for the Launchpad.

Kaito AI ecosystem’s native token has surged in the past 24 hours, with price rising to highs of $1.52 amid increased activity on the Kaito Capital Launchpad.

At the time of writing, KAITO traded around $1.39, about 38% up on the day and with daily volume of over $462 million.

This trading volume represented a 1,230% spike in activity on Kaito AI, largely aligning with the surge to over $170 million in pledged allocations across the Kaito Capital Launchpad.

Kaito price surges amid milestone for Launchpad

The Kaito Capital Launchpad, a platform designed to facilitate public sales for promising blockchain projects, has attracted substantial investor interest.

Within the past few days, the platform has seen a surge in public token sales by artificial intelligence and blockchain-powered projects.

Some of these include a public sale for the video AI model Everlyn, which sold out hours after launch on September 4, 2025.

The project targeted a $2 million raise at a $250 million fully diluted valuation, and sold out amid an oversubscribed event.

Another platform, venture capital-backed Play AI, saw its sale go live on September 8, 2025 and aims to raise over $2 million at a $50 million FDV.

Play AI will see 50% of tokens unlocked at its token generation event set for October 2025.

The Boundless team completed allocations for its public sale on Sept. 2, 2025, after it also saw a significantly oversubscribed sale with $71.5 million pledged.

Demand came from approximately 22,000 investors.

These achievements have fueled Kaito Capital Launchpad to over $170 million in pledged allocations.

KAITO’s price has also picked up as the token benefits from the ecosystem’s growing traction and the success of its launchpad projects.

What’s next for the KAITO price?

Predicting the future trajectory of KAITO’s price is difficult. However, what happens next will likely hinge on several factors.

Kaito price chart by CoinMarketCap

The Capital Launchpad’s momentum in onboarding projects such as Everlyn AI and playAI Network is signalling sustained investor appetite.

The platform’s ability to consistently attract oversubscribed rounds suggests strong market confidence in Kaito’s broader initiative, with buy-side demand likely to remain elevated.

As such, the token’s price could benefit from this sentiment boost and target highs of $2.92 – the all-time high seen in February 2025.

However, volatility for projects and across the crypto market may allow bears to assert themselves.

Broader market conditions, including regulatory developments and macroeconomic trends, will also play a role.

This means traders may want to keep an eye not just on Kaito AI’s ecosystem but also the overall outlook for cryptocurrencies amid the intersection of AI and decentralised finance.

Key levels to watch on the downside include $1.24 and $1.12.

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.

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.

XVS price turns bullish as Venus Protocol recovers funds stolen from phishing scam

  • The platform has recovered the assets and returned them to the victim.
  • The attack happened on September 2, and the swift action has restored user confidence.
  • XVS gained 2% amidst the community’s optimism.

A leading DeFi lending platform, Venus Protocol, has demonstrated its capability after the team recovered funds lost to a phishing scheme that shook its community in the past few days.

Notably, the lending network suffered a sophisticated phishing incident on September 2, which had Venus’ renowned user Kuan Sun incurring significant losses.

Venus Protocol’s team has worked with investigative platforms like PeckShield to pursue a retrieval, and they have succeeded. The X post read:

We are happy to share that… we have officially returned KuanSun’s position worth $11.4M at today’s token prices.

Venus Protocol’s team acted swiftly to manage the situation and secure the ecosystem’s reputation.

After guaranteeing that the protocol was safe as the perpetrator targeted a specific user, Venus suspended its operations for 20 minutes after the attack to kick-start the investigation.

It detailed:

This was done to ensure that the protocol and all users were safe, and to secure the funds of the compromised user.

The post-incident analysis shows the Venus team completed security checks, verified the systems’ integrity, and recovered the stolen assets in less than 12 hours.

The transparency throughout the recovery process, and swift actions guaranteed the community the protocol’s safety and a reliable governance that can handle crises smoothly.

The network’s native token reflects prevailing optimism with a bullish performance.

XVS price outlook

Venus Protocol’s token has recovered from its post-hack slump.

XVS hovers at $6.31 after gaining more than 2% in the past 24 hours.

The 40% upsurge in 24-hour trading volume signals renewed confidence in the $100M DeFi lending network.

The altcoin might extend its upside in the near term as its recovery coincides with the broader market upswings.

The global cryptocurrency market cap has increased by 0.68% in the past day as Bitcoin reclaims $112,000.

Technical indicators back XVS’s bullish trajectory.

The Chaikin Money Flow climbed from the negative territory over the weekend to press time’s 0.36.

That signals funds entering the Venus Protocol ecosystem amid restored investor confidence.

The altcoin trades well above the 50- and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages on the 3H charts, signalling buyer dominance.

Moreover, the MACD’s crossover and green histogram confirm a bullish outlook.

Also, the daily Relative Strength Index at 51 suggests a potential trend shift to the upside.

Continued uptrends will clear the path to the psychological mark at $7 before targeting February highs near $9.

Nevertheless, markets remain choppy as attention remains on the Fed decision during the September 17 meeting.

Meanwhile, Venus Protocol’s recovery underscores increased security in the DeFi space, with experts now able to recover stolen assets.
