Banks Keep Purging, Bitcoin Takes a Breath After CFTC Complaint Against Binance

Validated Individual Expert

What Market Phase are we entering into has been the introductory question for our last appointments. Are we going to listen to the Bulls or the Bears? Are we going to see a Bull Market or a Bear Market?

Welcome to Surfing the Market, we are already at our 47th appointment and I hope that with these easy tech analysis we have helped you in some forms, even just to evaluate different market perspectives.

Let’s start from our usual weekly perspective

Banks keep defaulting, and the last week was the time for the uncertainty towards Deutsche Bank. Anyway, the key news is the CFTC going against Binance about Transparency, Cooperation, Trading and Licences.

You can have a look to CZ’s answer here.

What do I expect from a daily perspective?

While the Yellow area played a perfect role as a support, the red line played as a perfect resistance level for the price that paid some time trying to overcome it and the going down likely because of the CFTC news towards Binance’s attitudes.

DXY is decreasing and the 102 points level is at a risk.Mass media are trying to put some bad light on Russia and the new alliance between China and Russia, while USA banks keep failing.

Both of the examined Moving Averages (50 and 200 periods) are now below the price action: the red (50MA) is growing and the blue line keeps its steady growth.From the Moving averages I do not expect huge signals for the moment, even if the 50MA is now in the area of the Yellow support, still too far from the price action to give some indications.

Ichimoku Clouds are showing weakness in the coming days as the cloud reverses and in becomes thinner in the following days.

And now, what from a Volume perspective?

Volumes have decreased in the last days while they have been consistent in the previous days. I think that we need a couple of days more to address more ideas to the BTC trend, in order to understand how the Binance-CFTC thing will be solved and see if other banks are going to default.

What to observe particularly?

Deutsche Bank is still in a descending trend and we will need to see if any Central Bank will inject liquidity to save it, or not.

  • Crypto-Friendly Bank Erebor Seeks $1.5B Funding with a16z Participation

    On August 11, Erebor Bank, a crypto-friendly bank co-founded by Oculus and Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, is seeking $1.5 billion in funding, with a pre-money valuation target of $8 billion. This valuation is nearly double the $435 million valuation the company had when it completed a $350 million funding round in December 2025. Erebor has already received support from investment institutions such as 8VC and Haun Ventures, and the new funding round is expected to attract participation from Lux Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Human Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and SV Angel, among others. As AI infrastructure investment enters a phase of rapid expansion, Erebor is targeting the financing needs of AI companies. AI companies require substantial capital to purchase GPUs, build data centers, and secure energy supplies, while traditional financial institutions are gradually exploring financing models for AI infrastructure assets. However, whether Erebor can maintain rapid growth after the AI and crypto industry cycles cool down remains a key focus for the market. The funding round has not yet been finalized and is expected to be completed within the coming weeks.

  • Vitalik Updates Ethereum Roadmap: Privacy, Post-Quantum Scaling, and Native Rollups Become New Priorities

    On August 10, Vitalik Buterin stated that he had compared the 2023 Ethereum roadmap with the current Strawmap. The overall direction still overlaps considerably, but some priorities and technical paths have been clearly adjusted, including raising the priority of quantum safety, downweighting VDF and some EVM improvements, and replacing old designs with solutions such as a unified binary tree, PBT, and new state types. He noted that the most notable change in the current Strawmap is the emergence of several new topics not included in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting a shift in Ethereum's R&D focus. These new priorities include: stronger native privacy support, aggressive scaling in a post-quantum context, specification streamlining for formal verification, Blob and Gas futures, native Rollups, and a more open design space for the future shape of the EVM. Vitalik also emphasized that Ethereum's scaling approach is shifting from 'expanding all activities comprehensively' to 'designing more scalable dedicated mechanisms for specific high-load scenarios,' and he regards STARK proofs and AI-accelerated formal verification as important foundations for the protocol's future. Overall, this update shows that the Ethereum roadmap is evolving toward quantum safety, privacy-first, censorship resistance, high performance, and simpler protocol design.
