While traditional systems raced to resolve the CrowdStrike outage, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market climbed upward.
Decentralized technology once again made a case for itself on Friday as a global IT outage disrupted banks, media, travel, and a litany of everyday operations.
Web3 markets boomed as Web2 activity slowed to a crawl in some parts of the world, with over 150 million people reportedly affected. Pro-crypto U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis leveraged the situation to remind the public of Bitcoin’s (BTC) ability to run seamlessly and bypass centralized points of failure.
Do you know what form of currency hasn’t been affected by widespread cyber outages? Bitcoin.

Bitcoin hits one-month high
The total cryptocurrency market was up over 3% and grew to $2.5 trillion for the first time this month. The widespread market uptick propelled Bitcoin above $66,500, a one-month high. Solana (SOL) led market gains among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. SOL surged more than 9% to reclaim $170, while Ethereum’s (ETH) 3% price bump took the asset to $3,500.

PAAL AI Launchpad claimed the largest gains of any cryptocurrency market on Friday. Data showed that the sector boomed by over 103% and was rising at press time.
Ecosystems like TRY Stablecoin, Decentralized Identifier, Farming-as-a-Service, and Pump.fun memecoins also rose at least 20% as the digital asset market enjoyed a green day. Conversely, the S&P 500 and global stock markets slid slightly due to the CrowdStrike debacle.
It seems as if there is a global outage with several IT systems down. Airlines, banks, emergency responders & media outlets.
But #Bitcoin keeps working.

Zurich Cantonal Bank, Switzerland’s fourth-largest bank, has launched crypto trading and custody services, expanding its financial offerings.
Zurich Cantonal Bank, Switzerland‘s fourth-largest bank, has officially entered the crypto market, offering its clients the ability to trade and store Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
In a Sept. 4 press release, the bank said the new offering is integrated into its existing digital platforms, including ZKB eBanking and ZKB Mobile Banking. The bank has partnered with Crypto Finance AG, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group, to execute crypto trades, the press release reads.
Alexandra Scriba, head of institutional clients & multinationals at ZKB, says customers and third-party banks will not need their own wallet and do not have to worry about storing their private keys, as the bank will handle both processes.
ZKB’s entry into the crypto space is not just limited to its own clients as the bank is also offering a business-to-business solution that enables other Swiss banks to provide crypto trading and custody services. Per the press release, Thurgauer Kantonalbank, a Swiss cantonal bank, has become the first partner bank to adopt this service.
The latest move is continuation of ZKB’s latest efforts to foray into the crypto market as in recent years, the bank explored blockchain technology extensively, including its participation in the issuance of the world’s first digital bond on the SIX Digital Exchange in 2021 and its role as joint lead manager in a 2023 Swiss National Bank pilot project for issuing digital bonds with central bank digital currency.
ZKB’s initiative comes amid a broader expansion of crypto services among Swiss financial institutions. In late June, crypto-friendly bank Sygnum, based in Zurich, extended its business-to-business services to over 20 entities, including PostFinance, ZugerKB, and LuzernerKB, allowing a significant portion of the Swiss population to access crypto markets.

Will Bitcoin Repeat History? Analyst Sees This 2019 Pattern In Current Market

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.

Bitcoin About To Mimic Japanese Stock Market’s Incredible Late 1980s Rally: Crypto Analyst
Published

A popular crypto analyst thinks Bitcoin (BTC) is currently mirroring the Japanese stock market’s giant rally about four decades ago.
The pseudonymous analyst TechDev shares charts with his 467,400 followers on the social media platform X that compare BTC’s performance since 2010 with the performance of the Nikkei 225, a price-weighted index that tracks 225 blue-chip companies trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, between the years 1950 and 2000.
TechDev’s charts suggest Bitcoin could crack $760,000 sometime between 2028 and 2029 before witnessing a multi-year bear market.
The top-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $59,621 at time of writing.
The analyst also shares a chart that has a line for Bitcoin’s price and a line that pits the Chinese 10-year bonds (CN10Y) against M2SL, the seasonally adjusted measure of money supply in the United States.
Based on the trader’s chart, he appears to suggest that an expansion in the CN10Y against M2SL would trigger big Bitcoin rallies.
Last month, TechDev noted in a newsletter that he was optimistic about the recent downturn in the crypto market.
“Obviously, there is extreme fear in the market. The last two weeks were filled with ‘told you’ comments from doomer bears – on a retest to $48,000 levels they previously said would never be reached the last time they were doom-posting at $25,000.
Exactly what I like to see. The fact that it came at a time when global macro conditions are pointing up makes it nothing more than two weeks of loud noise to me. More like the last six months.
It’s usually the case in all speculative markets, but the last two years have reflected this more than any other time in the crypto market – it doesn’t move up until X is scared absolutely shitless. That was the case at $15,000 after the FTX crash, at $20,000 after regional banks were failing, at $38,000 after the brutal post-ETF wick, and now.
What you’ll also recall is how much sentiment can whiplash in a couple of weeks. Expecting it again. All the while, the global cycle continues to point higher.”
