Aave Labs’ Horizon partners Ant Digital to build RWA market on Ethereum

Windtree Therapeutics (WINT), a biotech firm listed on Nasdaq, has recently 
made headlines by venturing into the cryptocurrency space, particularly 
focusing on Binance Coin (BNB). Just over a week after raising $60 million, 
the company announced a substantial partnership with Build and Build 
Corporation, unveiling a $200 million securities purchase agreement aimed at 
establishing a dedicated BNB treasury. In a surprising turn of events just six 
days later, the firm disclosed a strategic partnership with Kraken, which will 
reportedly provide services such as custody, trading, and over-the-counter 
(OTC) solutions for Windtree’s newly formed BNB treasury strategy. Windtree 
Therapeutics Partners With Kraken According to the announcement, the biotech 
firm and the US-based cryptocurrency exchange have signed a term sheet that 
will be formalized into a definitive agreement pending shareholder approval of 
Windtree’s securities purchase agreement. This partnership is said to open the 
door for potential future subscriptions of up to $140 million, led by Build 
and Build Corporation, further solidifying Windtree&#8217;s dive into the 
cryptocurrency ecosystem. Related Reading: Is $1 Dogecoin ‚Inevitable‘? 
Analyst Cites Perfect Storm Of Factors By aligning with Kraken, Windtree aims 
to leverage the exchange&#8217;s security, liquidity, and expertise in digital asset 
management. Notably, Windtree distinguishes itself as the first Nasdaq-listed 
company to offer direct exposure to the BNB token, which ranks as the fifth- 
largest digital asset by market capitalization, exceeding $100 billion. 
Kraken&#8217;s infrastructure is expected to play a vital role in ensuring the 
secure custody and efficient trading of BNB assets. The exchange’s over-the- 
counter desk will facilitate transactions related to Windtree’s Binance Coin 
treasury strategy. The Key To Windtree’s BNB Strategy Success Jed Latkin, 
Chief Executive Officer of Windtree, expressed enthusiasm about the 
partnership, stating: We are excited to partner with Kraken, a trusted leader 
in the cryptocurrency industry, to support our groundbreaking BNB strategy.

of $809. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Ledn Launches Private Wealth Program for High-Net-Worth Bitcoin Investors

Bitcoin experienced heightened volatility on Friday, briefly dipping to a 
local low of around $114,700 before stabilizing within a tight consolidation 
range. The price remains capped below the psychological $120,000 mark, with 
bulls and bears locked in a tug-of-war that has intensified speculation across 
the market. Despite the pullback, Bitcoin is holding key support, suggesting 
resilience in the current bullish structure. Related Reading: TRON Drops Q2 
Report: Revenue, USDT Dominance Lead Multi-Quarter Highs According to 
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler, this week stands out as one of the most 
aggressive selling periods of the current bull cycle. Adler notes that only 12 
weeks—about 7.3% of the entire cycle—have shown equal or greater selling 
pressure. This context highlights just how intense the recent market activity 
has been, with significant profit-taking from investors but no full breakdown 
in price. The combination of strong selling and price stability has introduced 
a high level of uncertainty. Market participants are watching closely for 
confirmation of either a deeper correction or a renewed push to break the 
$120K barrier. As the week closes, Bitcoin&#8217;s ability to maintain its 
consolidation range could determine the pace and direction of the next major 
move in this cycle. Bitcoin Holds Strong Amid Heavy Selling Adler highlighted 
that this week ranks among the top 7% of the most extreme in terms of selling 
volume during the current Bitcoin bull cycle. Despite the intense selling 
pressure, Bitcoin has shown notable resilience, recovering to $117,000 by 
week&#8217;s end. This rebound is seen as a positive signal, reflecting bullish 
strength in the face of aggressive distribution. While Bitcoin remains in a 
tight consolidation range, its dominance is starting to weaken relative to 
Ethereum and other major altcoins. This shift has caught the attention of 
analysts who now view this week as a pivotal moment. A continued decrease in 
Bitcoin dominance paired with growing strength in altcoins could mark the 
beginning of the long-anticipated altseason—a period where capital rotates 
from Bitcoin into alternative cryptocurrencies, driving strong gains across 
the sector. Still, Bitcoin&#8217;s recent recovery and consolidation above key 
support suggest that its bullish momentum may not be over. If buyers continue 
to defend the current range, BTC could be gearing up for another leg higher, 
putting pressure on shorts and reigniting market confidence. Related Reading: 
$4B Increase In Bitcoin Open Interest Fueled By Whale Transfers To Exchanges – 
Details BTC Retests Resistance After Strong Recovery Bitcoin (BTC) is 
currently trading around $117,867 on the 4-hour chart after recovering sharply 
from the $115,724 support level. This area has proven to be a critical short- 
term demand zone, with bulls stepping in aggressively to defend it following a 
recent dip. The price is now pressing against the 100-period SMA ($117,822), 
attempting to reclaim this level as support. The structure of the chart shows 
BTC remains locked in a well-defined consolidation range between $115,724 and 
$122,077. This week’s retest of the lower boundary and subsequent bounce 
signals continued interest from buyers, despite strong selling pressure 
earlier in the week. Volume remains elevated, suggesting active market 
participation during the recent recovery. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales

breakout above this level could set the stage for new all-time highs. Featured
