Bitcoin, Ether, and other crypto stocks cool down after rally week<\/h4>\n

Bitcoin fell back on Monday (August 18) as traders locked in gains following last week\u2019s record-breaking rally above US$124,000.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency was down about 2 percent to US$115,179, while Ether slipped 3 percent to US$4,335 and XRP declined 4 percent. <\/p>\n

The dip follows a sharp run-up fueled by optimism around crypto ETFs and new regulatory developments, including President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order earlier this month permitting retirement accounts like 401(k)s to include digital assets. <\/p>\n

Crypto-related equities mirrored the pullback, with shares of mining and crypto firms all down roughly 2 percent in premarket trading. Analysts suggest the selling is a typical retracement after a parabolic move and may signal rotation from spot crypto to other risk assets. <\/p>\n

Gemini, Winklevoss twins files for Nasdaq listing<\/h4>\n

Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has formally filed to go public with plans for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker \u201cGEMI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The registration statement, however, did not specify how many shares will be offered or at what price range, leaving those details for later. <\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, Gemini says it has processed US$285 billion in lifetime trading volume and custodies over $18 billion in digital assets as of June 30. <\/p>\n

In their filing, the twins framed crypto as entering \u201ca new Golden Age,\u201d emphasizing their vision of financial markets moving increasingly on-chain. They described Gemini as a \u201cSuper App\u201d for digital assets, offering trading, custody, and broader crypto financial services under one platform. <\/p>\n

If successful, Gemini would join Coinbase as one of the few US exchanges to list publicly, offering investors direct equity exposure to crypto market infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Amdax unveils Bitcoin treasury firm, plans Euronext Amsterdam Listing<\/h4>\n

Amsterdam-based Amdax announced plans to list a new Bitcoin treasury firm, Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy (AMBTS), on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange. <\/p>\n

The company says the goal is to create a vehicle that holds Bitcoin long-term on behalf of institutional and private investors, reflecting growing corporate adoption of digital reserves. <\/p>\n

CEO Lucas Wensing noted that more than 10 percent of Bitcoin\u2019s supply is already held by corporations, governments, and institutions, suggesting a structural shift in how the asset is used. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s rally of 32 percent in 2025, alongside pro-crypto regulatory momentum following President Donald Trump\u2019s election, has reinforced the case for such vehicles. AMBTS plans to raise capital in a private round before listing, with a long-term target of accumulating at least 1 percent of total Bitcoin supply. <\/p>\n

The move could make Euronext Amsterdam a more prominent hub for European digital asset investment products, challenging London and Frankfurt. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
