Among top movers, ZEC (+10%), TAO (+8%), and DASH (+6%) outperformed. Large ETH holders resumed sizeable spot purchases following Monday’s liquidations, suggesting renewed institutional dip-buying. At the Dealbook Summit, Brian Armstrong noted that “top banks” are partnering with Coinbase on pilots for stablecoins, custody, and trading.

Meanwhile, Binance introduced “Binance Junior,” a crypto savings account for minors with extensive parental oversight, and Startale—Sony’s Soneium blockchain partner—launched USDSC, a stablecoin set to serve as the default settlement asset on the Soneium L2.
