North Korean devs making $500K per month, EigenLayer restaking fever, ‘unusual’ Bitcoin moves

Rise’n’Crypto

Bitcoin’s price behavior is “unusual,” according to recent data on open interest, which is rising despite the price falling. Furthermore, institutions have not rushed in to buy the dip this time, as they did earlier in August, so we could see BTC fall further unless weekend volatility wants to throw a spanner in the works once again. Elsewhere, EigenLayer’s total value locked surged 11% in a week, ZachXBT uncovers a network of North Korean devs making a fortune at crypto projects, and Sotheby’s starts to auction some blue chip art NFTs.
