ADI Chain and Dubai-based maritime asset tokenization firm Shipfinex plan to connect the roughly $680 billion global ship finance market to blockchain infrastructure, CoinDesk reported. CoinDesk said commercial vessels worldwide are valued at about $2 trillion, while financing for ship purchases and construction has largely been concentrated among a small group of shipowners, banks, and specialized lenders. The outlet added that the market’s closed structure, which relies on existing transaction relationships, has limited participation by smaller shipping companies and new investors.

On-chain analyst Julio Moreno said ETH’s NUPL, or net unrealized profit/loss, on Binance fell to -0.35, re-entering a range previously seen around major market bottoms. Moreno explained the indicator shows the unrealized profit-and-loss status of held assets, adding the latest reading is based on Binance-held ETH rather than total ETH supply. A reading of -0.35 means those holdings are carrying net unrealized losses of about 35% relative to market value, Moreno said. Similar levels were also seen in late 2019, March 2020, the 2022 bottoming process and the 2025 correction phase, Moreno added, noting those periods also shared a pattern in which mounting losses pushed weaker investors out of the market and substantially exhausted selling pressure.

OpenGradient co-founder and CEO Matthew Wang raised the possibility that exchange BitMart could face bankruptcy, saying his market-making team's funds remain frozen on the platform and cannot be withdrawn. Wang claimed BitMart asked token holders to lock up assets on the platform just one week before announcing a service shutdown, arguing the campaign was largely aimed at pulling in liquidity. The claims have not been independently verified, and BitMart has not issued an official response to Wang's allegations. BitMart's founder had previously said the company was aiming to complete an orderly wind-down of the business and asked users to wait for a notice.

CoinNess analyst Mignolet said investor confidence is rising quickly as BTC has avoided a sharp breakdown despite selling by Strategy, but the market’s underlying structure still appears fragile. Mignolet said a market pattern first outlined in early July is becoming clearer. Despite Strategy’s selling, BTC has held up better than expected, and as prices have not collapsed over time, more investors appear to believe the market can absorb selling volume. After a prolonged decline, BTC has also shown limited sensitivity to additional negative factors, helping create a view that the market is becoming less reactive to bad news. Mignolet added that signals supporting investor sentiment and constructive technical chart patterns are reinforcing that conviction. If those signals continue to be confirmed over time, investor confidence could strengthen further, Mignolet said. Even so, the analyst said the broader view of the market remains unchanged: while BTC has withstood negative developments and selling pressure on the surface, the market itself still looks vulnerable.

Major cryptocurrencies traded lower ahead of the U.S. consumer price index report as inflation concerns resurfaced following a sharp rise in oil prices, with ETH and XRP leading the decline, CoinDesk reported. ETH fell more than 2% to $1,878, while XRP dropped about 2% to $1.01, marking the steepest losses among major tokens.

The current 1 million won threshold for the Travel Rule will also be scrapped, extending anti-money laundering obligations to all virtual asset transfers.
