Following yesterday’s FED decision and FED Chairman Jerome Powell’s statements, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins have experienced declines in the last 24 hours.

With the BTC price remaining above $76,000, whales appear to be quite active.

First, a massive whale transferred 220 Bitcoin, worth $16.72 million, to Binance. According to blockchain analytics firm OnchainLens, a whale transferred its last 220 Bitcoin to Binance. Having purchased 370 BTC from Binance three years ago, the whale sold all of its BTC, making a total profit of $34.24 million.

An anonymous whale has opened a long position on Hyperliquid (HYPE) involving 80,000 Ethereum (ETH) worth $182 million. According to on-chain data, this whale currently holds ETH long positions in two wallets, each containing 40,000 ETH, with an average entry price of $2,265.

According to Lookonchain, a leading OG whale sold another 800 billion SHIB, making a profit of $4.9 million. This whale initially invested $13,760 to acquire 103.33 quadrillion SHIB. At one point, the value of their SHIB holdings reached a peak of $8.9 billion. In the last few years, the whale has sold 4.06 quadrillion SHIB, making a profit of $37.6 million. After these sales, the whale now holds 99.27 quadrillion SHIB, valued at $625.41 million, representing 16.84% of the total supply.

This whale’s total profit now exceeds $660 million, which represents a 48,000x return.

According to Lookonchain data, an investor who previously profited from long positions on APE has now opened a long position on WIF. This investor holds 7.13 million WIF tokens, worth $1.3 million, with a 5x leveraged long position. The investor has also placed a limit order, planning to accumulate more WIF at $0.17 and take profit at $0.49.

Finally, according to OnchainLens data, HYPE whale Loracle.hl has started selling after acquiring 556,825 HYPE tokens (worth $22 million). The whale also simultaneously opened a short position in HYPE with 5x leverage.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
