According to recent data, public companies have raced ahead of Bitcoin spot ETF issuers by snapping up more than twice as much BTC in the first half of 2025. Public firms added 245,510 BTC to their balance sheets from January through June, a 375% jump over the 51,653 BTC they bought in the same stretch last year. At the same time, spot ETF issuers purchased 118,424 BTC, leaving them well behind their corporate counterparts. Public Firm Purchases Smash ETF Buys According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, the 245,510 BTC bought by public companies during H1 2025 is more than four times the 118,424 BTC ETF issuers gathered. That ETF component is 56% lower than the 267,878 BTC they purchased in H1 2024, despite the funds experiencing more robust inflows than they experienced towards the end of 2024. The difference indicates increasingly companies are holding Bitcoin directly instead of relying on exchange‑traded products. More Companies Join Bitcoin Rush Data shows 254 entities now hold Bitcoin, and 141 of those are public companies. That marks big growth from the start of the year, when only 67 firms had BTC, and the end of March, when the number hit 79. Those counts translate to a 140% rise in six months and a nearly 80% gain in three months, underlining how many new players have jumped in. Strategy’s Share Of Acquisition Dips Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) still leads corporate buyers, but its slice of the total has shrunk. In H1 2024, Strategy’s purchase of 37,190 BTC made up 72% of all corporate buys. In the first half of 2025, the Michael Saylor‑led company purchased 135,600 BTC but now accounts for 55% of the total—down from its previous dominance. Firms such as Metaplanet, GameStop and ProCap have stepped into the spotlight, each adding large sums to their Bitcoin holdings. Supply Shock Could Be Coming According to industry commentary, the increase in corporate purchasing in addition to continuing ETF demand could take a bite out of available supply. When the next halving event reduces new Bitcoin issuance, less will flow into the market. Analysts caution that increasing institutional interest and declining supply might produce a significant price response. As public firms climb aboard and ETFs keep on buying—though at a reduced rate—the battle for Bitcoin is escalating. Although Strategy’s investments have increased in absolute value, the arrival of new buyers indicates the market is expanding. If that trend continues and reward for miners decreases following the halving, the battle for Bitcoin’s scarce supply could get fiercer. Investors and analysts alike will be paying close attention to how these forces influence the price of Bitcoin in the second half of 2025. Featured image from StormGain, chart from TradingView

This morning's Non-Farm Payrolls data was more than welcomed for Dollar-Bulls A 37K Beat on expectations (147K vs 110K exp), accompanied with a lower Unemployment Rate (4.1% vs 4.3% prior) and lower Growth Average Hourly Earnings (=less price pressures) gives path to way lesser chances of stagflation for the US Economy, at least for now. US Indices have had a fairly muted reaction as Equity markets are still preparing for the open and the release of ISM Services Data at 10:00 expected at 50.5. However, the US Dollar is the one standout winner and confirms further the idea that 96.50 could be a swing low for the Greenback.

📉 Payroll de Junho Ilude com 147 Mil Empregos, Mas Revela Fragilidade Estrutural no Mercado de Trabalho dos EUA Criação de vagas se concentra em setores de baixa produtividade enquanto indicadores ocultos revelam deterioração da força de trabalho Análise Premium Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado, Membro Junior Wall Street NYSE ExpertFX School – Inteligência Macroeconômica e Análise Profunda dos Mercados 📊 Dados Oficiais – Junho/2025 (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Indicador Resultado Expectativa Anterior (Maio) Empregos Criados (NFP) +147.000 +110.000 +139.000 Desemprego (Taxa U-3) 4,1% 4,3% 4,2% Salário médio por hora (MoM) +0,2% +0,3% +0,4% Salário médio (YoY) 3,7% 3,9% 3,9% Participação da Força de Trabalho 62,3% — 62,4% Desemprego de Longo Prazo 23,3% dos desempregados — 21,1% 🔍 Setores Geradores de Emprego: Serviço, Sim. Produtividade, Não. Apesar do número agregado indicar expansão, o núcleo da criação de vagas se concentrou em setores de baixa produtividade e salários modestos, como: Setor público (governo) Saúde e assistência social Lazer e hospitalidade (bares, restaurantes, turismo) Por outro lado, setores essenciais para a produtividade e crescimento sustentado apresentaram estagnação ou retração, como: Serviços empresariais e profissionais (consultorias, suporte técnico, engenharia) Indústria manufatureira Tecnologia da informação 👉 Isso aponta para uma mudança de composição, e não para um fortalecimento real da economia. A geração de empregos está migrando para áreas com menor contribuição ao PIB per capita e à eficiência econômica. 🧱 Desemprego de Longo Prazo: Sinal de Danos Profundos Outro sinal preocupante: 23,3% dos desempregados estão há mais de 27 semanas sem recolocação, o maior patamar em mais de um ano. Essa taxa representa quase 1 em cada 4 desempregados nos EUA e revela: Dificuldades estruturais de reintegração no mercado; Cicatrizes econômicas deixadas por choques anteriores (COVID, tarifas, austeridade); Desalinhamento entre as habilidades da população e as vagas disponíveis. 🧨 6,5 Milhões de Norte-Americanos Querem Trabalhar, Mas Estão Fora da Força de Trabalho O dado do BLS também mostra que mais de 6,5 milhões de pessoas estão fora da força de trabalho, mas ainda desejam um emprego. Esses trabalhadores não aparecem na taxa de desemprego oficial (U-3), sendo considerados "desalentados". Este é um indicador de "slack oculto" no mercado de trabalho: pessoas sem perspectiva de recolocação, que deixaram de procurar emprego por desilusão ou falta de oportunidades reais. ⚠️ Participação da Força de Trabalho em Queda: Apenas 62,3% O percentual de americanos em idade ativa e participando do mercado caiu novamente para 62,3%, bem abaixo do nível pré-pandemia (63,4%). Esse declínio pode refletir: Desengajamento estrutural da população; Baixa qualidade das vagas ofertadas; Efeitos de longo prazo de saúde, aposentadoria precoce ou desincentivos fiscais. Esse cenário pressiona a produtividade e restringe o crescimento sustentável de médio prazo. 🏦 Impacto no Fed: Cortes de Juros Ainda no Radar para Setembro Apesar da “surpresa positiva” do número principal, os dados secundários expõem fraquezas significativas que reforçam o argumento por afrouxamento monetário: A inflação salarial perdeu força; A composição dos empregos é frágil e inflacionária em termos de produtividade; O Fed já precifica dois cortes de 25 bps até o final do ano, e agora a probabilidade de um corte em setembro supera 70%. Além disso, a ausência de inflação tarifária nos salários reforça os argumentos da ala dovish do Fed, como Waller e Bowman, para agir antes que o mercado de trabalho se deteriore ainda mais. 📌 Conclusão ExpertFX School: "O payroll parece forte, mas está doente por dentro" O relatório de empregos de junho ilustra bem o dilema macroeconômico dos EUA: números que impressionam à primeira vista, mas que escondem uma erosão estrutural do mercado de trabalho. A deterioração da força de trabalho ativa, a precarização das vagas criadas e a persistência do desemprego de longo prazo revelam um cenário de crescimento frágil com potencial de estagflação. O Federal Reserve ainda espera sinais claros de impacto inflacionário das tarifas, mas caso os próximos dados (CPI de julho, PMIs e earnings corporativos) não confirmem esse risco, o corte de juros em setembro se tornará o cenário base. 📈 Reação de Mercado Esperada Ativo Expectativa Pós-Payroll Ouro (XAU/USD) Volátil com leve queda, mas sustentado por liquidez futura Dólar (DXY) Pressão de curto prazo, possível reversão em agosto S&P 500 Tendência de alta, com rotação para small caps e setores cíclicos Bitcoin Impulso renovado com fluxos institucionais e clima de corte de juros 🔔 Continue acompanhando a ExpertFX para atualizações em tempo real, mapas institucionais de fluxo e análises detalhadas de ouro, dólar, índice e criptomoedas.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, trading under the ticker IBIT, have overtaken BlackRock flagship S&P 500 ETF (IVV) in annual revenue generation. Despite being a fraction of its size in terms of assets under management, IBIT’s surge is pivotal. It indicates an increase in institutional demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure. According to 2 July 2025 Bloomberg report, IBIT’s higher expense ratio of 0.25% has propelled it ahead of the iShares Cor S&P 500 ETF IVV. Notably, IVV charge a nominal 0.03% fee in terms of annual fee income. So the higher fee structure of IBIT, combined with the surging interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, has given BlackRock a powerful new revenue engine. “IBIT overtaking IVV in annual fee revenue is reflective of both the surging investor demand for Bitcoin and the significant fee compression in core equity exposure,” NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci told Bloomberg on 2 July 2025. Importantly, IBIT is projected to generate over $187 million in annual fees. Explore: Bitcoin ETFs See Interrupted Inflow Streak Amid Bearish BTC Price Key Takeaways IBIT was launched at the beginning of last year, alongside a wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs. They sought to provide investors with direct exposure to Bitcoin’s spot price within a regulated framework. Since its debut, IBIT has quickly established itself as the market leader among spot BTC ETFs. Recently, it reached a new all-time high in AUM and solidifying its place as the most successful ETF tracking Bitcoin’s spot price.

🇺🇸 Payroll de Junho Surpreende com 147 Mil Empregos Criados e Desemprego em Queda "Resiliência do mercado de trabalho desafia o Fed, mas reforça cenário de corte em setembro" Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado, Membro Junior Wall Street NYSE ExpertFX School – Análise Institucional e Macroeconômica 📌 Resumo dos Dados Oficiais – Junho/2025 Indicador Resultado Expectativa Anterior (Maio) Criação de Empregos (NFP) +147.000 +110.000 +139.000 Taxa de Desemprego 4,1% 4,3% 4,2% Salário médio por hora (MoM) +0,2% +0,3% +0,4% Salário médio (YoY) 3,7% 3,9% 3,9% 🧠 Análise Institucional ExpertFX O mercado de trabalho norte-americano surpreendeu positivamente em junho, com a criação de 147 mil vagas, bem acima dos 110 mil esperados. Este dado reforça a resiliência da economia dos EUA, mesmo sob a pressão das tarifas impostas pelo governo Trump e o cenário de desaceleração global. Além disso, a taxa de desemprego caiu para 4,1%, contrariando expectativas de alta para 4,3%, e se distanciando do patamar de 4,5% projetado pelo próprio Federal Reserve (Fed) como referência para 2025. No entanto, os salários mostraram fraqueza, com avanço de apenas +0,2% no mês e 3,7% na base anual, o que reforça a percepção de inflação salarial moderada – um ponto crucial para a política monetária atual. 🔎 Implicações para o Federal Reserve Apesar do bom número de empregos, o cenário continua compatível com cortes de juros a partir de setembro, especialmente pelo fato de: A inflação salarial estar arrefecendo; A atividade industrial e o setor de serviços estarem contraindo; O próprio Fed já precificar dois cortes em 2025, com 66 bps de afrouxamento embutidos nos futuros de Fed Funds. Com isso, mesmo diante da pressão da Casa Branca e declarações do secretário do Tesouro, Scott Bessent, pedindo cortes já em julho, a postura mais provável é uma ação apenas em setembro, como Powell tem sinalizado. 📈 Reação do Mercado (Intraday 03/07) 🟢 S&P 500: alta moderada de +0,4% após o dado, liderada por setores cíclicos. 🟡 Treasuries (10Y): yields em leve alta, refletindo menor urgência por cortes em julho. 🔵 Dólar (DXY): valorização pontual, com destaque contra moedas emergentes. 🟡 Ouro (XAU/USD): queda leve, ainda sustentado por expectativa de afrouxamento monetário no trimestre. 🟢 Bitcoin: mantém trajetória de alta impulsionado por ETF inflows e ambiente pró-liquidez. 📌 Conclusão: Mercado de Trabalho Forte, Mas Corte em Setembro Ainda no Radar O Payroll de junho reduz os temores de uma recessão iminente, mas não elimina a necessidade de afrouxamento monetário. O foco agora se volta para: CPI de julho (15/07) – onde se espera a primeira leitura do impacto inflacionário das tarifas; PMIs e Jobless Claims nas próximas semanas; Decisão do FOMC em 31 de julho – onde um corte ainda tem apenas 24% de chance, segundo futuros. 🔔 Continue acompanhando a ExpertFX School para atualizações em tempo real e análises técnicas/fundamentalistas institucionais para ouro (XAU/USD), dólar e criptomoedas.

Arthur Hayes has published a new essay, “Quid Pro Stablecoin,” arguing that the United States’ sudden political enthusiasm for bank-issued stablecoins is less about “financial freedom” and more about arming the Treasury with a multi-trillion-dollar “liquidity bazooka.” The former BitMEX chief—writing in his personal newsletter—contends that investors who postpone buying Bitcoin until the Federal Reserve resumes quantitative easing will serve as “exit liquidity” for those who bought earlier. How The Money Printer Is Already Warming Up At the core of Hayes’ thesis is the claim that eight “too-big-to-fail” banks hold roughly $6.8 trillion in demand and time deposits that can be transformed into on-chain dollars. Once customers migrate from legacy accounts to bank stablecoins—he cites JPMorgan’s forthcoming “JPMD” token as the template—those deposits become collateral that can be recycled into Treasury bills. “Adoption of stablecoins by TBTF banks creates up to $6.8 trillion of T-bill buying power,” he writes, adding that the product simultaneously slashes compliance overhead because “an AI agent trained on the corpus of relevant compliance regulations can perfectly ensure that certain transactions are never approved.” Hayes layers a second mechanism on top of the stablecoin flow. If Congress strips the Federal Reserve of its ability to pay interest on reserve balances—a proposal floated by Senator Ted Cruz—banks would have to replace that lost income by buying short-dated Treasuries. He estimates the policy could “liberate another $3.3 trillion of inert reserves,” bringing the prospective fire-power for government debt purchases to $10.1 trillion. “This $10.1 trillion liquidity injection will act upon risky assets in the same way Bad Gurl Yellen’s $2.5 trillion injection did… PUMP UP THE JAM!” Hayes asserts. The essay frames the bipartisan GENIUS Act as the legislative linchpin. By barring non-banks from issuing interest-bearing stablecoins, Washington “hands the stablecoin market to banks,” ensuring that fintech issuers such as Circle cannot compete at scale and that deposit flight is funneled into the institutions most likely to bankroll the Treasury. Hayes calculates that the cost savings and enhanced net-interest margins could increase the combined market capitalisation of the big banks by more than 180 percent, a trade he describes as “non-consensus” but executable “in SIZE.” Buy Bitcoin Before The Fed Blinks Despite his long-term enthusiasm, Hayes cautions that a temporary liquidity drain looms once Congress passes what he labels Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Refilling the Treasury General Account to its $850 billion target could contract dollar liquidity by nearly half a trillion dollars, an impulse he believes may knock Bitcoin back toward the mid-$90,000s and keep prices range-bound until the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole conference in late August. “I believe that between now and the August Jackson Hole Fed speech to be given by beta cuck towel bitch boy Jerome Powell, the market will trade sideways to slightly lower. If the TGA refill proves to be dollar liquidity negative, then the downside is $90,000 to $95,000. If the refill proves to be a nothingburger, Bitcoin will chop in the $100,000s without a decisive break above the $112,000 all-time-high,” Hayes writes. The punchline, however, is resolutely bullish. Hayes ridicules advisers steering clients into bonds on the premise that yields will fall: “If you’re still waiting for Powell to whisper ‘QE infinity’ in your ear before you go risk-on, congrats — you’re the exit liquidity. Instead go long Bitcoin. Go long JPMorgan. Forget about Circle.” In his view, the political machinery that props up US deficits has already selected bank stablecoins as the next round of stealth quantitative easing, and Bitcoin—alongside JPMorgan stock—is positioned to absorb the spill-over. Hayes signs off with a stark imperative: “Don’t sit on the sidelines waiting for Powell to bless the bull market.” The liquidity horse, he argues, has already bolted; investors who hesitate to buy Bitcoin risk being trampled beneath it. “You will miss out on Bitcoin pumping 10x to $1 million,” he concludes. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $109,449.

It only took one day for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to walk back on an approval given to Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) to convert to an exchange-traded fund (ETF), inadvertently halting its launch. On 1 July 2025, the SEC shared a letter stating its intention to again review the recent approval granted to GDLC to convert its fund into an ETF. The SEC’s approval of the Grayscale ETF had been welcomed as a landmark development for multi-asset crypto ETFs in the US. For the uninitiated, Grayscale brings a regulatory structure to a product that tracks Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading tokens by converting its multi-asset crypto fund. The regulatory body’s initial approval indicated that its authorities were confident in the product’s readiness for the market. Nonetheless, it has decided to invoke Rule 431 of the SEC’s Rules of Practice to review its earlier decision. Explore: Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in July 2025 Key Takeaways The GDLC fund holds $755m in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Cardano Bitcoin and Ethereum make up more than 91% of the GDLC fund’s portfolio Multi-asset products, such as Grayscale’s, add additional levels of structural and legal complexity in contrast to single-asset ETFs The post Grayscale ETF Faces Indefinite Delay as SEC Reassesses Earlier Approval appeared first on 99Bitcoins.

Bitcoin climbed above $109K, triggering a surge across the markets: Ethereum ($ETH) – up 4.65% XRP ($XRP) – up 3.86% Solana ($SOL) – up 7.85% Tron ($TRX) – up 4.17% But one of the biggest daily surges came from an unexpected corner, as Dogecoin mounted an 8% rally and broke the key $0.17 mark. As meme coins rebound, could the purest meme coin of them all be poised to hit the stratosphere? Time for a closer look. What’s Driving the Rally? A wave of optimism around potential US Federal Reserve rate cuts, prompted by recent dovish statements from key officials, energized risk assets. Overall, markets are bullish and tokens are up for a number of reasons. Approvals of new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) signaled increased institutional interest, especially in altcoins. Greater clarity in US crypto regulation is drawing fresh capital into the market. Growing TradFi and DeFi convergence – including banking applications for key crypto institutions – has lowered barriers to entry while increasing a sense of trust. There’s still uncertainty, especially ahead of the Labor Department’s expected employment report on July 3. But for now, positivity reigns, and traders clamor for more gains. Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, noted, ‘Bitcoin is in the passenger seat… Recent crypto ETP approvals may be raising investor confidence that TradFi capital will make its way into altcoins.’ He expects new token highs later in the year, and it’s not just Bitcoin we’re talking about. Wider Market Backdrop Still Positive for Key Crypto Players US equity benchmarks like Nasdaq and the S&P 500 also ticked up, with the S&P 500 hitting an all-time high. However, geopolitical and fiscal uncertainties – such as the delayed U.S. budget, ongoing global trade tensions, and regional conflicts – remain a constant worry for investors. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows on July 1, suggesting some caution, though that was the first day in a 15-day streak of inflows. Ripple’s application for a national bank charter with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) marked another sign of growing institutional integration. And President Trump’s enthusiastic endorsement of a U.S.-Vietnam trade deal may boost broader risk-on sentiment. All told, it’s no surprise that Dogecoin made a strong push – and could be forming the base for another surge to $0.19 or beyond. A strong performance from the world’s biggest meme coin creates a favorable environment for the purest, simplest, strongest meme coin presale – Token6900 ($T6900). Token6900 ($T6900) – All Meme, All the Time First there was the SPX6900 token, a meme with no utility, just a $1.2B market cap. It’s up 4.3% in the past week, kicking butt and taking names. Now there’s Token6900 ($T6900), with even less utility but more…tokens? Yes, it has one more token than SPX6900. Talk about pettiness, right? The project is pure meme coin madness, all mood and all vibe. And it’s all potential, too – the potential to ride the growing meme market to unprecedented heights. The truth of $T6900 is that it isn’t just another meme coin – it’s the most literal meme coin possible. The truth is the meme, and the meme is truth. There’s no hiding, no fancy promises of future utility – just a meme, a presale, and slaptastic potential. True meme coin aficionados are already buying in; the presale has raised over $191K in a matter of days, with tokens priced at only $0.006425. Visit the Token6900 presale page to learn more. Memes Ready to Make Bank in Bullish Markets Crypto markets are currently buoyed by encouraging macro signals, institutional momentum, and regulatory progress. While underlying uncertainties persist, the prevailing sentiment leans toward upside – and Token6900 taps into that outlook to unleash pure meme coin momentum. Do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

Plume crypto is up 22% in the past 24 hours following the integration of USD1. The stablecoin by World Liberty Financial, a DeFi platform linked to the Trump family, now has a market cap of over $2.2 billion. The past 24 hours have been highly bullish for the crypto markets. After days of sideways movement following the surge on June 23, BTC ▲1.61% broke above $108,000 and is inching closer to all-time highs. Presently, the total crypto market cap is up 2%, rising to $3.4 trillion, with more room for growth, especially for some of the best cryptos to buy. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Plume Crypto Surges 22%, Will The Rally Last? While the market expansion has lifted the valuation of some of the best cryptocurrencies to buy, PLUME (No data) is among the top gainers. According to Coingecko data, Plume trended and jumped 22% in the last day. This rally pushed weekly gains to 32% as it gradually recovered from recent losses. Plume crypto crashed to $0.07594 on June 22. However, with the July 2 surge, the token is now up nearly 50% from its June 2025 lows, outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even some top Solana meme coins. Technically, Plume crypto is in an uptrend. Following its listing on various exchanges in late January 2025, the token soared to $0.25 by mid-March before correcting. PLUMEPricePLUME24h7d30d1yAll time After the early June crash, which pushed prices below a critical support level, sellers drove prices below $0.08 before a recovery began in late June. The recent rally has the token trading above $0.09, a key liquidation level, increasing the likelihood that bulls from late January 2025 will return. If this happens, Plume crypto could climb above $0.20, in a buy trend continuation pattern. DISCOVER: Top 20 Crypto to Buy in 2025 USD1 by World Liberty Financial and the Trump Family Launches on Plume The spark for the July 2 leg up was the announcement on July 1 that USD1, the stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, a DeFi platform associated with the Trump family, is expanding to the Plume network. This deal is pivotal for Plume and could cement its position as the first project to support USD1 in the rapidly growing real-world asset finance (RWAfi) sector. As of July 3, USD1 has a market cap of $2.2 billion. Backed by cash and equivalents, primarily short-term government treasuries, USD1 aims to capture market share from USDT and USDC in the coming years. With USD1 circulating in the Plume ecosystem, it provides institutional-grade stability while serving as the reserve asset for pUSD, Plume’s native stablecoin. Following this announcement, the Plume ecosystem saw tangible benefits beyond rising prices. Its total value locked (TVL) rose to over $115 million, pointing to higher liquidity and asset utilization. (Source) Interest is now high as Plume users can engage in yield-bearing RWA products, including bonds and art, through derivatives, borrowing, lending, and yield farming. Beyond this deal, the foundation is solid for Plume. Last month, the Plume genesis mainnet launched, and over 200 dapps are now building on the Ethereum-compatible platform, powering RWAfi, DeFi, and social dapps.

Crypto analyst Capo of Crypto, who is currently one of the most recognizeable names in crypto spaces on social media, has sounded a warning for the market. The analyst has completely dismissed the current trajectory of the Bitcoin price and, by extension, the altcoin market, calling for only a short-lived rally. His analysis points to a Bitcoin price crash, but the most impact is expected to be felt by the altcoin market as they tumble further. Bitcoin Price Is Headed Below $100,000 In the post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Capo of Crypto shares a rather bearish thesis that suggests that the current strength in Bitcoin won’t last. He points out that the Bitcoin price hasn’t bottomed yet and that the capitulation event is yet to happen. A capitulation event is a time in the market when prices are falling, triggering panic among investors. This panic leads to further selling as investors become scared that prices will keep crashing, and this leads to deeper losses in the market. An example of a capitulation event is the FTX market crash, when the Bitcoin price fell by more than 60% in a matter of months. The crypto analyst predicts that the Bitcoin price will actually fall further, first below $100,000. Once this psychological level is broken, he sees the price heading for the $92,000 to $93,000 territory. However, he doesn’t expect the crash to end there as capitulation events often lead to deeper losses. He explains that if Bitcoin does fall below the $92,000-$93,000 support, then the market should expect to see prices as low as $60,000-$70,000. Altcoins To Get Decimated With the Bitcoin price expected to crash so hard, the effect on the altcoin market will be even more profound. Over the last few months, 10% dips in the Bitcoin price have translated to around 20-30% dips in altcoin prices. Therefore, a nearly 50% crash in the Bitcoin price would be disastrous for altcoins. Capo of Crypto actually expects altcoins to crash harder, predicting that they will fall another 50-80% if his idea of the market does play out. This could put the altcoin market on a path to new lows not seen in the last five years, and could be the worst bear market in recent history. This is not the first time that Capo has warned the community of an impending crash. Back in May, when the Bitcoin price was hitting new all-time highs, the analyst had warned that the market could reverse its gains. On May 15, he posted a picture of a Black Swan, suggesting that prices could crash. Since then, most altcoins have reversed their gains, with only Bitcoin managing to maintain most of its gains from that time period.

Overview: The US dollar is firm. The only G10 currency that is stronger today is sterling, which is recovering from yesterday's sharp losses and the UK's drama eased following Prime Minister Starmer's support for Chancellor Reeves. Of note most of the final June PMI readings were revised higher from the initial estimates. The US struck a trade agreement with Vietnam, the third deal reached, and the clear intent is to deter it from re-exporting Chinese goods. Meanwhile, the US also lifted export requirement for chip design software sales to China, which would seem to imply that the administration is satisfied with the resumption of rare earth and magnet shipment to the US. Most emerging market currencies are firmer today, led again by the Taiwanese dollar (~0.65%). On the other hand, the South Korean won is the weakest (~-.45%). South Korea's Kospi, on the other hand, rose 1.3% today to lead the Asia Pacific bourses higher, while Taiwan gained slightly less than half as much. Hong Kong shares fell the most (~0.65%) in the region. Europe's Stoxx 600 is up about 0.25% to extend yesterday's gain but is still nursing a small loss for the week. US index futures are virtually flat. UK Gilts lead the European bond market recovery today. The 10-year Gilt yield is off around 8 bp to 4.52%, while the other regional bond yields are off around three basis points. The 10-year US Treasury yield is almost two basis points softer at 4.26% ahead of the US employment report. Gold edged up to almost $3366 before meeting sellers that knocked it back to $3343 before support was found. August WTI is consolidating yesterday's 3% rally. It reached nearly $67.60 yesterday and is almost a buck lower now. USD: Even after the disappointing ADP private sector jobs estimate (-33k vs. median forecast in Bloomberg's survey of a gain of 98k), the Dollar Index made a new session high yesterday near 97.15. Only after European markets close, it sulked back to almost 96.75. Ahead of the US employment report, it is trading in an exceptionally narrow range (~96.70-96.90). The Fed's forward guidance is that it is taking policy decisions meeting by meeting. Although two Fed governors seemed to be open to cutting later this month, most other officials and the markets appear skeptical. From Tuesday's low to Wednesday's high, DXY bounced about 0.80% and it was sufficient to bring in new sellers. Despite the ADP showing the first private sector job less since March 2023, the odds of a July rate cut barely increased. It is about a 1-in-4 chance rather than a 1-in-5 chance, according to the futures market. Ahead of tomorrow's US holiday, a slew of data will be reported today. Chief among these is the employment report. Weaker job growth is expected (~106k vs. 139k in May subject to revisions). The unemployment rate is expected to tick up to 4.3%, which would be a new cyclical high. President Trump's social media post late yesterday, saying Fed Chair Powell should resign immediately, after he may have been briefed on today's employment report, was seen as a possible confirmation of soft report today. It will overshadow the May trade deficit, which is expected to have widened, and the weekly initial jobless claims that will be reported at the same time as the nonfarm payroll report. Shortly afterwards, the final services and composite PMI, the services ISM, and factory orders will be reported. EURO: The euro recorded session lows yesterday slightly below $1.1750 in early North American trading before the ADP report. It was choppy for the rest of the North American morning and after European markets closed worked its way back to $1.1800 were it stalled. It settled fractionally lower on the day to post its first losing session since June 17. It is trading in around a 10-tick range so far today on both sides of $1.1800. The eurozone saw its final reading of the June services and composite PMI. The flash reading was 50.0 for the services PMI after slipping below the boom/bust level in May for the first time since last November. The composite PMI has held above 50 this year. 50.2 in June. It was revised to 50.6 from the flash reading of 50.2, with the help of the stronger services reading (50.5 vs. 50.0) and better French and Spanish readings. The composite PMI averaged 50.4 in Q1 and Q2 (49.3 in Q4 24). Tomorrow, the eurozone reports May PPI. Producer prices are expected to hall fallen for the third consecutive month. Eurozone producer prices declined on a year-over-year basis starting in May 2023 through late last year. The 0.3% anticipated June reading would be the lowest this year. Despite the mild price pressures and what appears to be slowing growth, the swaps market has around a 5% chance of a hike later this month, and about a 50% chance at the next meeting (September 11), but what some expect to be the last cut in the cycle is fully discounted at the last meeting of the year (December 18). CNY: The dollar edged higher against the offshore yuan for the second consecutive session. However, the gains were not impressive, and the downtrend appears to remain intact. It settled below the five-day average and has not closed above it this week. It is found near CNH7.1625 today. It is trading quietly in the range seen in the past two sessions. The PBOC set the dollar's reference rate at CNY7.1523, a new low (CNY7.1546 yesterday and CNY7.1620 last Thursday). The Caixin services and composite PMI were mixed. The services came in softer (50.6 vs. 51.1), a nine-month low, but the composite was firmer at 51.3 (from 49.6). It does not change the underlying views that the economy continues to struggle to sustain forward momentum. The PBOC appears to have pulled away from earlier pledges to cut interest rates and reserve requirements. Beijing's new initiative seems to be to try to curb the aggressive price competition that flows from excess capacity and competition for market share rather than short-run profitability. JPY: The dollar peaked yesterday near JPY144.25 before North America entered the fray. Alongside the pullback in US rates after the ADP report, the greenback fell to JPY143.50. It remains mostly in that range today (~JPY143.45-JPY143.95). The 10-year Treasury yield slipped 3-4 bp to 4.26% after the ADP data but recovered and set new session highs in early NY afternoon turnover a little above 4.30% but it did little to help the dollar. It is near 4.26% now. The final composite PMI stood at 51.5 in June, the highest since February and the second highest since last September, up from 51.4 preliminary estimate. The 51.0 Q2 average (50.7 average in Q1) was the best since Q3 24. Still, Japan's economy is stuck in a low gear. It contracted at an annualized pace of 0.2% in Q1 25 and the median forecast in Bloomberg's survey for Q2 is 0.3% annualized growth. Like Q1, it is little different from stagnation. Economists in Bloomberg's survey see growth picking up in Q4. The US tariffs, especially on Japanese autos, a sector that accounts for around 10% of GDP, is a serious threat. Separately, the largest union federation, Rengo, reported that annual wage negotiations produced an average wage gain of 5.25% for ~7 mln workers (~10% of the Japan's work force, at over 5100 companies. It is the largest increase in 34 years. GBP: No. The fact that sterling sold off at the same time that Gilt yields rose does not make the UK an emerging market. The 10-year Gilt yield rose almost 16 bp as the market prepared for more supply, even if the BOE stops or slows its sales. The yield is off almost 9 basis points today and sterling is firmer. Late yesterday, after the tears, Prime Minister Starmer gave a full throated endorsement of Chancellor Reeves. This was the first meaningful crisis for the year-old Labour government and intrigue at 10 Downing Street over the Reeves' tenure as Chancellor took an outsized toll on sterling. The pullback was sufficient to retrace more than half of sterling's gains from the June 23 low (~$1.3370) and briefly traded slightly below the 20-day moving average (~$1.3580). It recovered back to $1.3645 before stalling yesterday. The recovery was extended to about $1.3675 today. The final June services and composite reports were revised higher from the preliminary estimates. The services PMI is at 52.3, up from the initial estimate of 51.3 (50.9 in May). The composite improved to 52.0 from the 50.7 flash estimate and 50.3 in May. Still, the average in Q2 was 50.3 compared with 50.9 in Q1 25 and Q4 24. It is the lowest quarterly average since Q3 23. The UK economy appears to have gone from the top performer in the G7 in Q1 to one of the slowest in Q2, which exacerbates the fiscal challenge. CAD: The Canadian dollar was the strongest G10 currency yesterday, gaining about 0.40% against the greenback. The Canadian dollar's gains seemed to reflect a little catch-up in a firmer greenback environment. While several other major currencies made new highs for the year this week, the Canadian dollar was not one of them. The US dollar's low for the year was recorded on June 16 near CAD1.3540. Yesterday's low matched Tuesday's low near CAD1.3590. It edged down to about CAD1.3580 today. The June manufacturing PMI fell to 45.6 from 46.1 in May, which was the first gain of the year (45.3 in April, the cyclical low. The US tariffs, real and anticipated, are taking a toll. The Bank of Canada has front-loaded its rate cuts, but the Bank of Canada turned somewhat cautious as the perceived neutral rate is approached. While the market is warming up to a rate cut soon, the next cut is not fully discounted until Q4. Canada reports May merchandise trade balance today. There has been dramatic deterioration this year. Through April, the goods deficit was about C$8.3 bln. In the first four months of 2024, the trade deficit was almost C$3.6 bln. Canada's merchandise exports slid 10.8% in April, the largest drop since the end of 2008 and reached their lowest level since June 2023, as shipments to the US tumbled by 15.7%. Exports of light vehicles and parts fell by nearly a quarter. AUD: The Australian dollar was sold to almost $0.6540 as the greenback recovered broadly, but buyers re-emerged on the dip and lifted the Aussie to new session highs to almost $0.6590. It stalled near the upper Bollinger Band, which it has frayed in recent sessions (found ~$0.6600 today). It is trading with a softer bias today (~$0.6565-$0.6590). The final June services and composite PMI were also revised higher from the preliminary estimates. The composite was revised to 51.6 from 51.2 initially and 50.5 in May. It averaged 51.0 in Q2 and 51.1 in Q1. Separately, Australia's merchandise trade balance narrowed for the second consecutive month in May. The A$2.2 bln surplus was half of what was expected and compares with A$5.6 bln surplus in May 2024 and $A5.4 bln in April 2025. Exports fell (2.7% month-over-month), while imports jumped (3.8%). In the first five months of the year, the trade surplus averaged about A$4.1 bln compared with an average of A$5.6 bln in Jan-May 2024. The futures market lifted the chances of a rate cut next week to more than 100% from about 65% on Tuesday. Tomorrow, Australia reports May household spending. The softer than expected retail sales (0.2% vs. 0.5% median forecast in Bloomberg's survey) warn of downside risks, the median forecast for a 0.5% increase in household spending. MXN: The dollar posted an inside day against the Mexican peso yesterday. Still the greenback eked out a minor gain (<0.0.3%) and settled higher for the first time in eight sessions. It has held below MXN18.82 today and is near MXN18.77 in European turnover. Tuesday low was slightly above MXN18.66. The week's high was set on Monday slightly below MXN18.90. Yesterday, Mexico reported domestic auto sales slowed by 3.25% in June after the nearly 10.8% surge in May. It is a volatile series, but the sales in H1 25 (~118.2k monthly average) were slightly higher than in H1 24 (~117.7k monthly average). Today, Mexico reports April fixed investment and private consumption. It rose on a year-over-year basis in March (1.16%) after contracting for the previous three months. The base effect makes for a difficult comparison this year, and the median forecast is for a 3.6% year-over-year decline, which would be the largest since early 2021. The swaps market expected Banxico to pause its easing course with the overnight cash rate target at 8%. The terminal rate is seen between 7.25% and 7.50% a year from now. Disclaimer

Summit Royalty, a precious metals-focused royalty and streaming company, will go public through a reverse takeover (RTO) of Canadian junior royalty firm Eagle Royalties (CNSX: ER). The companies inked the amalgamation agreement on June 30 to create a new royalty and streaming entity with assets across North and South America and Africa. The combined portfolio will include over 40 royalty interests, with Eagle contributing critical metals, gold and industrial mineral royalties in Western Canada. Eagle’s flagship asset is a royalty on Banyan Gold’s AurMac project in Yukon, where it holds between 0.5% and 2% net smelter return (NSR) on key deposits. Summit president and director Drew Clark said Eagle’s portfolio, particularly its stake in AurMac and more than 35 other Canadian royalty interests, offers strong optionality that complements Summit’s cash-flowing assets. “We look forward to partnering with Eagle shareholders as we work to aggressively grow the business following the RTO,” Clark said. Under the deal, Eagle will acquire Summit via a three-cornered amalgamation involving a newly formed subsidiary, Eagle Subco. Summit shareholders will receive five shares of the resulting public company for each Summit share held. Following the transaction, and subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, Eagle will be renamed Summit Royalty Corp., or a similar name proposed by Summit. The company will also change its stock exchange ticker symbol, with listing planned on either the CSE or the TSX Venture Exchange, depending on the outcome of discussions with the target exchange.

Ethereum (ETH) has recently experienced a significant resurgence, reaching a three-week high of $2,600 after a notable spike on Wednesday. This uptick comes at a time when a key company is considering ETH as a potential treasury reserve asset, underscoring renewed interest in the cryptocurrency. Forecasting $7,000 Potential Despite being one of the poorer performers among the top ten cryptocurrencies, with a year-to-date decline of 24%, Ethereum’s recent 6% surge has allowed it to outpace competitors, including Bitcoin (BTC), which is close to its all-time high. Crypto analyst Alek Carter has also expressed a bullish outlook on Ethereum (ETH), drawing parallels between the current price patterns and those observed in 2020. He describes the recent movements in ETH’s chart as reminiscent of the “dead cat bounce” phenomenon—a term used to describe a temporary recovery in price after a significant decline—followed by a final retest before a substantial upward trend. Carter points out that Ethereum underwent a similar trajectory in 2020, where it initially experienced a dip before rebounding sharply to reach a peak of over $3,500. He believes that the recent completion of what he terms the “final retest” suggests that Ethereum is poised for another significant rally. If the current setup mirrors the previous cycle, Carter anticipates that ETH could potentially reach a new high of $7,000. Bullish Sentiment For Ethereum The bullish sentiment surrounding ETH is further reflected in the performance of stocks associated with the cryptocurrency. BitMine, a Bitcoin mining company that recently announced plans to make ETH its primary treasury reserve, saw its stock soar by about 20%, with an increase of over 1,000% since the announcement. Similarly, SharpLink Gaming, which has adopted an ETH treasury strategy, experienced an 11% rise, while Bit Digital, which shifted its focus from Bitcoin mining to Ethereum treasury and staking, gained more than 6%. Moreover, the recent interest in ETH is evident in the performance of Ethereum ETFs, which saw inflows of $40 million on Tuesday, led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust. A Experts also highlight that ETH’s smart contract capabilities have established it as a leading platform for the tokenization of traditional assets, including US dollar-pegged stablecoins. The ‘Backbone’ Of Stablecoins? Fundstrat’s Tom Lee characterized Ethereum as “the backbone and architecture” of stablecoins, given that issuers like Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) operate on its network. Additionally, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, known as BUIDL, launched on Ethereum last year. Tokenization itself represents a transformative process, allowing digital representations of publicly traded securities and real-world assets to be issued on blockchain networks. While holders of tokenized assets do not possess outright ownership, the mechanism opens up new avenues for investment and asset management. The latest wave of interest in Ethereum and related assets follows Robinhood’s announcement to enable trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs across Europe. This development comes on the heels of a growing interest in stablecoins, spurred by Circle’s IPO and the Senate’s passage of the GENIUS Act, a proposed stablecoin bill that aims to provide a new framework for these assets to integrate in the broader financial landscape.

XRP crypto bulls are targeting $3. Ripple, the issuer of RLUSD stablecoin, has submitted an application to the OCC for a national banking license. Yesterday, XRP crypto surged, closing above $2.20 and extending gains initiated on June 23. At this pace, XRP ▲4.02% not only solidified its position as one of the best cryptos to buy, adding a solid 5% in the last day, but also erased losses from the past week, returning to positive territory. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 XRP Crypto Bulls Targeting $3 Based on the XRPUSDT price formation on the daily chart, there is a high probability that the coin will break above its June 2025 highs of around $2.5. If this happens, XRP could race toward $3 in a bullish trend that might set the stage for the coin to flip Ethereum. XRPPriceMarket CapXRP$134.57B24h7d30d1yAll time While technical candlestick formations may influence momentum and provide direction, fundamental developments play a key role in determining the pace of this expansion and whether bulls will breach $3, outperforming some of the best Solana meme coins. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Crypto Firms Rushing for Banking Licenses Ripple’s move is part of a broader trend among crypto firms to secure banking licenses as Congress and the Senate push for clearer industry regulations in a market valued at over $3.4 trillion. This shift is unexpected, given crypto’s anti-establishment roots. Ripple now joins Circle, which applied for a national trust bank charter with the OCC in late June. If approved as a national bank complying with Federal Reserve laws, Circle could act as a reserve custodian and directly offer institutional crypto asset custody. In 2021, Paxos received preliminary approval to operate as a federal bank but continues to navigate the regulatory process to expand its custodial and payment services. Anchorage Digital remains the only crypto firm to secure a national banking license, acquired in 2021. The rush for banking licenses is driven by the need for stability. Following the collapse of Silvergate and Signature Bank, crypto firms reliant on USD infrastructure faced significant challenges. At one point, USDC depegged because Circle couldn’t access cash over a weekend. If leading stablecoin issuers gain direct access to financial infrastructure, their operations would be more robust, avoiding challenges faced in March 2023. This also aligns with Donald Trump’s push to make the United States a hub for crypto operations.

Ethereum (ETH) has surged 7.5% in the daily timeframe to break above a key resistance level for the first time in weeks. Following its breakout, some analysts forecasted that a retest of the range highs could be around the corner. Ethereum Reclaims Crucial Area On Wednesday, Ethereum jumped over 7% from its local low to the $2,550 mark, setting the stage to reclaim another crucial resistance. The King of Altcoins climbed from the $2,380 support to the $2,585 area, hitting a two-week high. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $2,400-$2,800 price range since the early May breakout, but briefly lost this area after failing to hold the $2,550 support two weeks ago. After recovering its local range, ETH struggled to break past the $2,500 barrier, trading between the range low and this resistance for a week. Nonetheless, today’s market recovery, which also saw Bitcoin jump to the $109,600 mark, has sparked bullish sentiment among investors. Amid today’s performance, Daan Crypto Trades called ETH’s price action a “nice move out of the local range.” However, he suggested that bulls must hold the $2,520 area to confirm it isn’t another deviation or liquidity grab in a “bigger chop.” To the trader, failing to hold this area would send the cryptocurrency to the range lows again. As a result, the major levels to watch remain the $2,310 support and $2,735 resistance. Market watcher Merlijn The Trader noted that Ethereum has “respected support every single time,” forming “one of the cleanest breakouts we’ve ever seen.” He highlighted a three-month ascending triangle in ETH’s chart, pointing out that the King of Altcoins bounced from the rising support line during the recent price deviation and now targets the next key resistance around the $2,700 mark. Ethereum is charging up. Higher lows, strong base, bullish MACD crossover. A clean break of $2,700… and ETH will fly. $3,000 is just the beginning. The real move comes after that. ETH To Repeat ATH Set Up? Merlijn also affirmed that ETH’s two-year setup is repeating, which could signal that a massive breakout is coming. According to the chart, the Ethereum price has moved in stages that last about two years since 2018. During the first stage, the cryptocurrency’s price forms a base, which later leads to the second stage, where the price rejects and retests the base lows. Lastly, Ethereum experiences the liftoff phase, where the price breaks out to new highs. The last liftoff phase, between 2020 and 2022, saw ETH surge from the $100 mark to its $4,878 all-time high (ATH). To the trader, “This time we start from $1,500. Not a dip. A launchpad.” Similarly, analyst Kaleo pointed out the structural resemblance between ETH’s performance this cycle and last cycle. He noted that, while BTC hit a new ATH in December 2020, Ethereum was 60% down from its previous cycle highs, leading many investors to suggest it was “dead.” Nonetheless, ETH climbed over 800% from there, outperforming Bitcoin’s 250% increase in the following months. This time, the cryptocurrency has also seen up to a 68% retrace from its previous ATH, while BTC soared to new highs. If history repeats, “The bottom for ETH is in. Up only from here,” the analyst concluded. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,568, a 6.1% increase in the weekly timeframe.

The on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has revealed Bitcoin has recently been trading within a short-term band that has its upper level currently located at $117,000. Bitcoin Is Trading Between These Two Short-Term Holder Price Bands In a new post on X, Glassnode has discussed about the short-term price band that Bitcoin has been trading inside lately. The band in question is based on two levels relevant to the short-term holders (STHs), investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. The indicator related to the STHs that’s of interest here is the Realized Price, which keeps track of the average cost basis or acquisition level of the BTC addresses belonging to the group. When the value of this metric is greater than the asset’s spot price, it means the STHs as a whole can be considered to be in a state of net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the coin’s value suggests the dominance of loss among this cohort. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode, which shows the trend in the STH Realized Price and a few lines corresponding to different standard deviations (SDs) from it: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin price has interestingly traded in a range defined by two of these lines over the last six months. The lower bound of the range has been the -1 SD and the upper one the +1 SD. The STHs are made up of the new entrants into the sector and fickle-minded traders, so the group tends to easily react to happenings in the market. As such, the cryptocurrency’s price can have some interactions with the STH Realized Price, due to the cohort’s panic buying/selling. From the chart, it’s apparent that the same has been true in this period of consolidation as well. While the indicator has certainly not acted as an absolute support or resistance, the asset has still seen such effects around it in the short term. Currently, Bitcoin is trading above the metric after finding a rebound at it last month. The level ahead of the asset now is the +1 SD. In this period of sideways movement, it has so far only been able to test this line once. “This level can be seen as the upper band of the short-term price action,” notes the analytics firm. The +1 SD is located at around $117,000 right now. It only remains to be seen whether Bitcoin will test this level in the near future or not. BTC Price Bitcoin has enjoyed a surge of more than 3% over the past day that has taken its price to $109,500.

US equities delivered another strong session, with the S&P 500 rising 0.5% to close at a fresh record of 6,227. Small‑caps led the charge, as the Russell 2000 jumped 1.31%, clearing its 200-day moving average for a second straight day, evidence that the post “Liberation Day” rebound has broadened beyond mega‑cap tech. close Fig 2: AUD/USD minor trend as of 3 July 2025 (Source: TradingView) Fig 2: AUD/USD minor trend as of 3 July 2025 (Source: TradingView) The recent 3.4% rally seen on the AUD/USD from the 23 June 2025 swing low of 0.6373 is coming close to an inflection level of 0.6600, where it faces the risk of a minor corrective setback before a new bullish up move sequence materialises. In addition, the hourly RSI momentum oscillator remains capped by a parallel descending resistance at around the 63 level since Wednesday, 2 July, US session, which suggests a lack of bullish momentum. Watch the 0.6600 key short-term pivotal resistance on the AUD/USD with the next intermediate supports coming in at 0.6530 and 0.6510 (also the 20-day moving average and the pull-back of the former 8-week range resistance) (see Fig 2). On the other hand, a clearance above 0.6600 invalidates the corrective setback scenario for the continuation of the bullish impulsive movement to expose the intermediate resistances at 0.6630/6645 and 0.6690.

Bitcoin continues to show little upward momentum as it trades below the $110,000 mark. As of the time of writing, the asset is priced at $108,071 after recording a modest 2% gain in the past 24 hours. Despite nearing its all-time high in recent weeks, Bitcoin appears to be caught in a holding pattern as institutional rebalancing and on-chain dynamics take center stage. Recent analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Kripto Mevsimi has drawn attention to unusual on-chain activity during the final days of June. Institutional Rebalancing and Local Exhaustion Signals In a post titled “Whale Profit-Taking and Loss Realizations: Was Late June a Local Pivot Point?” the analyst noted conflicting behaviors among Bitcoin whales. A notable $641 million in realized profits was recorded alongside more than $1.24 billion in realized losses, a combination that suggests a potential inflection point in market sentiment. Mevsimi emphasized that this mixed realization trend came at the close of the second quarter, a period often associated with institutional portfolio adjustments. “Structurally, late June is also the end of H1, when ETFs and institutional funds often rebalance portfolios,” he wrote. Mevsimi added: “That timing adds weight: this wasn’t just noise — it may have been a deliberate repositioning.” Notably, these large movements in realized profit and loss did not extend into early July, which may imply either a temporary stabilization or the beginning of a new market phase. The report also detailed divergent whale behavior. Newer whales, likely short-term participants entering in Q2, showed signs of capitulation, realizing both profits and significant losses. In contrast, older whales locked in $91 million in profits with negligible losses. This division may indicate a shift in control, with experienced holders offloading risk while short-term players exited amid market uncertainty. According to Mevsimi, the convergence of these trends hints at a local exhaustion phase rather than a continued rally. Bitcoin LTH Unrealized Profits and Historical Context In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant’s Darkfost explored the unrealized profit profile of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs), revealing a downward trend despite BTC’s proximity to record highs. Citing the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio, Darkfost noted that average unrealized profits have fallen to around 220%. This is well below the peaks recorded during market tops in March and December 2024, which reached 300% and 350%, respectively. “Although these profits may seem substantial, we’re still far from the levels observed during the tops of this cycle,” Darkfost stated. The realized price for LTHs now stands at approximately $39,000, suggesting a strong cushion but also reinforcing that speculative excess has yet to return in full force. The analyst added that a return to top-cycle unrealized profit levels would require BTC to rise to around $140,000, a target echoed by several bullish forecasts.

As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade within striking distance of its all-time high (ATH), a noticeable shift is underway in the cryptocurrency’s Realized Dominance metric, reflecting changes in behavior between short-term holders (STH) and long-term holders (LTH). Bitcoin Realized Dominance Shows Shift In Market Sentiment According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Crazzyblockk, the latest trend in BTC’s Realized Dominance metric highlights a significant shift in overall market structure and sentiment. For the uninitiated, the Bitcoin Realized Dominance metric tracks how much of the realized cap is held by STH vs LTH. A rising LTH cohort share signals strong conviction and maturing supply, while a falling STH share suggests reduced speculation or loss-taking. The latest on-chain data shows that STH Realized Cap has dropped to around 45%, signalling reduced activity from recent buyers. This implies that new BTC entering the market is either being sold at a loss or maturing into long-term holdings – easing short-term speculative pressure. Conversely, the LTH Realized Cap has risen, suggesting long-held coins are being moved at a profit – typically seen during late-stage bull markets. This increase also indicates aging supply, as coins held by short-term investors transition into the LTH category, reflecting strong holder conviction. The analyst added: The divergence between falling STH Realized Cap and rising LTH Realized Cap highlights a supply transfer dynamic: recent entrants struggle with profitability amid lackluster price action, while long-term participants maintain control of an increasing share of network value. Such transitions often precede bullish reversals. As short-term realized cap shrinks, selling pressure typically declines, paving the way for more sustainable upside, provided fresh demand returns. In conclusion, Crazzyblockk noted that the Bitcoin market is currently in a consolidation phase, with weaker hands exiting and stronger holders gaining dominance. If this trend continues, it could establish a more resilient price base for BTC and potentially pave the way for a new ATH. BTC Apparent Demand Has Declined Despite the rise in LTH Realized Dominance, some on-chain signals point to weakening demand. This has raised concerns of a potential short-term drawdown, which could be as severe as the April 2025 pullback to almost $75,000. Notably, Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand – a metric that assesses whether new buyer demand is sufficient to offset selling from miners and LTHs – has dropped to -37,000 BTC. This sharp decline suggests fading buying interest. That said, one positive indicator remains. The STH floor price has been steadily rising over the past few months and is now nearing the psychologically important $100,000 level. At press time, BTC trades at $107,796, up 1.2% in the past 24 hours.

Ripple is making a serious move into traditional finance. The company behind XRP has applied for a national banking charter in the United States, aiming to bring its RLUSD stablecoin under direct federal oversight. This isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s a strategic attempt to give RLUSD a stronger foundation and open the door to a deeper role in the financial system. If approved, the Ripple banking license would allow the company to hold RLUSD reserves directly with the Federal Reserve. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, confirmed the application publicly, pointing out that RLUSD already operates under New York’s financial regulators. Getting a national charter through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) would expand that coverage, blending state-level approval with federal credibility. It’s also a signal to investors, regulators, and institutions that Ripple wants RLUSD to be taken seriously. The Bigger Picture Behind the Charter So what does this actually mean? A bank charter gives Ripple a way to hold reserves directly with the Federal Reserve. That cuts out third-party banks, simplifies operations, and improves transparency. It also means RLUSD could be settled faster and more reliably, especially during nights or weekends when traditional systems shut down. Ripple would use its subsidiary, Standard Custody & Trust Company, to apply for the necessary Fed master account. If granted, the RLUSD reserves would move from commercial banks to the central bank, offering stronger protection and oversight. For a stablecoin trying to compete with the likes of USDC and Tether, this could be a major advantage.

Earlier this week, Circle—the company behind USDC—also filed for a national trust bank license. Circle wants to create a fully regulated institution focused on digital dollars and tokenized assets. Both Ripple and Circle are reading the same playbook: take the stablecoin game into regulated territory before the rules get even tougher. XRPPriceMarket CapXRP$132.19B24h7d30d1yAll time So far, Anchorage Digital is the only crypto firm with a federal charter. Ripple’s move puts it in the race to be next. And with the GENIUS Act gaining traction in the Senate, regulation for stablecoins is no longer hypothetical. Standards around reserves, disclosures, and investor protection are already being written. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in July2025 RLUSD’s Position and What Comes Next RLUSD launched in late 2024 and has already grown to a market cap of around $470 million. That’s not enough to challenge the top stablecoins, but it puts Ripple in the conversation. A federal charter could give RLUSD the edge it needs to appeal to banks, payment processors, and institutional investors. Source: Shutterstock Ripple also has plans beyond RLUSD. The charter would let it expand into cross-border payments and digital asset custody services, all under federal supervision. If the OCC and Fed approve the application, Ripple would be able to offer these services on the same regulatory footing as traditional banks. What to Watch Approval is not guaranteed. Getting the charter and a Fed account involves multiple agencies and months of review. Ripple also faces ongoing legal challenges tied to XRP, which could influence regulators’ decision-making. But if the license is granted, Ripple will have one of the strongest compliance setups in the stablecoin market. This is more than a regulatory milestone. It’s a sign that the stablecoin space is evolving fast, and only those who are ready to play by the rules will be able to scale. Ripple’s banking play is a bet that RLUSD is ready for that next step. The industry is watching closely to see whether the potential Ripple banking license opens the door to broader adoption of RLUSD.

The move would allow Ripple to hold reserves directly with the Federal Reserve, improving transparency and settlement speed. Ripple’s charter bid comes alongside similar moves from Circle, as both aim to meet stricter stablecoin regulations early. If approved, Ripple could expand into digital asset custody and cross-border payments under full federal supervision. RLUSD currently has a $470 million market cap, and this banking move could make it more competitive with top stablecoins.

The Trump family appears to have a much bigger stake in the crypto world than most people realized. New data from Arkham Intelligence shows that wallets linked to Donald Trump, his son Barron, and several associated tokens hold more than $620 million in crypto assets. Trump’s $620 million in crypto covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, and memecoins, making it one of the biggest political wallets on record. Barron’s Alleged Role Behind the Scenes One of the most surprising parts of the report is the alleged connection between Barron Trump and the Solana-based memecoin $DJT. The top wallet holding the token, currently worth around $170 million, is linked to other wallets previously tied to Donald Trump. Arkham Intelligence suggests this is no coincidence. Rumors have been swirling that Barron played a key role in the creation or launch of the coin. While nothing has been confirmed by the Trump team, on-chain behavior and overlapping wallet histories have fueled speculation. It would not be the first time the Trump family mixed branding with finance, but if Barron was involved directly, it signals a more active role in the crypto space than expected. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Breaking Down the Holdings The full breakdown reveals a wide net. Roughly $320 million is held in Ethereum, $180 million in Bitcoin, and the rest in memecoins like $TRUMP and $DJT. These numbers come from wallet analysis linked to past projects such as Trump’s NFT collection and recent token activity. The timeline of acquisitions and token launches lines up with public appearances and business initiatives tied to the campaign trail. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.17T24h7d30d1yAll time Trump has made millions from NFT royalties alone, despite previously dismissing crypto. His recent tone has softened, likely in response to the growing support for digital assets among younger voters. The wallets connected to him and his brand suggest that behind the scenes, the former president and his circle are paying very close attention. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Memecoins, Politics, and Influence Memecoins tied to political figures have exploded over the last year, becoming a strange intersection of financial speculation and political tribalism. While coins like $TRUMP and $BODEN have been seen as jokes or campaign side-shows, $DJT is shaping up differently. Source: Shutterstock If Barron was indeed involved, this would be the first time a direct family member of a major presidential candidate helped create or advise a token that reached nine-figure territory. That’s a development with real financial and political consequences. Even without formal confirmation, the market is watching closely. What This Means The Trump family’s presence in crypto is no longer just about NFTs or fan-driven tokens. It now includes serious money, strategic wallets, and questions about where politics meets blockchain. If Donald Trump moves forward with a crypto-friendly agenda, these holdings could play a role in shaping public policy. At the same time, the $DJT story adds fuel to ongoing debates about transparency and influence in the digital asset world. Whether the coin remains a speculative bubble or becomes a campaign war chest, it puts the Trumps firmly in the crypto spotlight.

Arkham Intelligence suggests Barron Trump may be involved in the creation or launch of the Solana-based $DJT token. Ethereum makes up the largest share of the family’s holdings at roughly $320 million, followed by Bitcoin and several memecoins. These wallets tie into Trump’s past NFT ventures and show growing alignment between his public image and digital asset strategies. If confirmed, Barron’s role in $DJT would mark an unprecedented blend of political influence and memecoin development.
