Bitcoin Price Drops Amid Wall Street Fear
Starting strong with new BTC headlines. Bitcoin experienced a noticeable decline this week – a 35% drawdown, driven largely by increasing uncertainty among institutional investors.
According to analysts, the primary reason behind the BTC price drop is the heightened level of “risk-off” sentiment on Wall Street.
By so, traditional financial markets have reacted sharply to macroeconomic instability, pushing major funds to reduce their exposure to volatile assets like Bitcoin.
This shift in risk appetite highlights the continued correlation between crypto and traditional financial markets. For long-term holders, however, many experts consider such corrections a natural part of the market cycle rather than a fundamental trend reversal.
Coinbase Highlights PERP, RWA, and PROP AMM as Promising Crypto Sectors
There was also positive news on the market this week. Coinbase published new research identifying several emerging sectors within the crypto ecosystem. Among them are perpetual futures (PERP), real-world assets (RWA), and programmable AMM models (PROP AMM).
According to the document, these segments represent strong growth opportunities due to their increasing use cases.
RWA tokenization is becoming a major focus for institutions, enabling blockchain-backed ownership of bonds, real estate, and commodity assets.
PROP AMM introduces algorithmic enhancements that make liquidity more efficient and adaptive.
In sum, these insights from Coinbase confirm that institutional interest continues shifting toward utility-driven and infrastructure-level innovations.
Crypto as a Lifeline Against Inflation in Emerging Economies
We have often told you about the role of cryptocurrencies in the United States, Europe, and Asian countries (China, South Korea, and Japan). But what about developing countries?
In countries like Argentina, Turkey, and other developing markets, crypto has increasingly become a financial lifeline. With inflation reaching double or even triple digits, many individuals turn to crypto to preserve their purchasing power.
Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are especially popular, allowing residents to bypass unstable national currencies. For example, in Bolivia, in the summer, stores began listing prices in the USDT stablecoin, which is used as a more predictable unit of account compared to the boliviano.
This trend reflects an important global economic shift: crypto adoption is not driven solely by speculation but by necessity.
Polygon Expert Predicts 100,000 Stablecoins by 2029
And we’re moving on to another piece of news regarding stablecoins. A Polygon researcher, Aishwary Gupta, has predicted that by 2029, the world could see the creation of more than 100,000 different stablecoins.
This forecast stems from the rapid growth of digital payment infrastructure and expanding use cases for programmable money.
As businesses adopt blockchain-based payment tools, stablecoins are becoming key instruments for everyday transactions, cross-border transfers, and automated financial systems.
While such explosive growth may sound aggressive, experts believe that micro-stablecoins – currencies designed for specific communities, brands, or platforms, will account for the majority of this expansion.
MegaETH Launch Chaos: $500M Operational Error
One of the most discussed events of the week was the problematic launch of MegaETH, during which operational errors led to a disruption worth more than $500 million.
In short, the incident included transaction failures, inconsistencies in the chain state, and liquidity mismanagement.
Overall, this case underscores the high level of responsibility blockchain teams must maintain when deploying major protocol upgrades or new networks.
The MegaETH failure has sparked debates on proper testing, decentralization standards, and the risks of launching large-scale financial systems without adequate safeguards.
