President Donald Trump is reportedly poised to open the $9 trillion retirement market to a range of alternative investments, including crypto, gold, and private equity. According to the Financial Times, this initiative is expected to be formalized through an executive order as early as this week. It seeks to diversify the investment options available within 401(k) plans, which have traditionally been limited to stocks and bonds. Crypto In Retirement Savings Trump’s forthcoming executive order will direct regulatory agencies to explore the necessary adjustments to facilitate the inclusion of these alternative asset classes in professionally managed retirement funds.

Overview: The US dollar is trading softer against most G10 and emerging market currencies today. The dollar seemed to lose its bid late yesterday after Federal Reserve Governor Waller argued in favor a rate cut at this month's meeting, despite the TIC data that showed foreign investors bought more US securities in May than they did in the first five months of 2024 ($311 bln vs $95 bln), driving home the message again that the talk of a capital strike against the US over its large deficit/debt or loss of "American exceptionalism" has been grossly exaggerated. The US announced a 93.5% tariff on graphite from China (given the other tariffs the effective rates is near 160%), …

The 1841-O Seated Liberty Half Dime is a cherished numismatic gem minted at the New Orleans Mint during a formative period in United States history. American history buffs will recall that presidential transition and westward expansion as part of “Manifest Destiny” dominated the national scene in 1841. 1841: A Memorable Year in American Presidential History In an unusual year, America saw three different U.S. presidents sit in the White House in 1841. President Martin Van Buren’s term ended, William Henry Harrison was inaugurated, only to die shortly after from pneumonia, and his Vice President, John Tyler, assumed the presidency. In 1841, the American economy was sti…

Despite a harsh fall in the US Dollar, US Indices are starting the week on a rally, with a seemingly positive sentiment all around. The past week's University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey had came in slightly worse than expected but showing better outlooks from firms in terms of expected impact and inflation from tariffs, coupling with a more than decent earnings season and renewed Dovish comments from Waller. The ongoing bull momentum is countering the profit-taking seen on Friday. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 are making all-time highs again while the Dow is still within its range, therefore let's take a look if the roof-breaking momentum in Tech can rippl…

Most majors have appreciated the latest bout of dovishness from the FED Speakers as they entered the blackout period (2 weeks before FED Meeting where they can't mention Monetary Policy). The Dollar Index has fell below the 98.00 level, key barometer for appetite after having failed to even reach 99.00 on the July USD run-up. This allowed AUDUSD to find some form of bottom before markets see more data. The Australian Dollar had actually held pretty strong compared to its neighbor NZD for example, after holding their rates at the July 8th Meeting, before Markets saw disappointing Jobs data the week after and decided to still sell the Aussie. As a matter of fact, the RBA…

It has been the second day where North Americans see no particular market-moving data after last week's key releases, but this hasn't stopped the session from being volatile.

A sudden surge of institutional and corporate interest in Ethereum (ETH) is setting the stage for what Bitwise Asset Management’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan calls a “structural imbalance” between supply and demand—one that could propel prices well beyond the cryptocurrency’s already‑rapid ascent this year. In a memo circulated to clients on 22 July 2025, Hougan noted that Ether has climbed more than 65 percent in the past month and over 160 percent since April. The rally, he argues, is being driven not by sentiment alone but by a dramatic mismatch between the amount of Ether produced by the network and the quantities now being absorbed by exchange‑traded produc…

Authorities in China’s Jiangxi province have identified permitting issues at eight lithium mines in Yichun, one of the country’s key production hubs, as Beijing tightens oversight of its critical mineral sector. The Yichun Natural Resources Bureau recently issued notices to the mine operators requiring them to provide resource reserve verification reports after finding discrepancies between their licensed mining rights and the actual minerals being extracted, according a report by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. It follows similar measures taken last week in the western province of Qinghai, where local authorities in Haixi Prefecture ordered the shutdown of a mine…

Bitcoin has remained trapped in a tight range between $115K and $120K for the past 10 days, signaling an extended phase of price compression. With bulls unable to push the price above the $120,000 resistance, analysts are increasingly warning that a correction may be imminent. The coming days are expected to be decisive, as both technical and on-chain fundamentals point to a potential surge in volatility. According to data from CryptoQuant, a key long-term metric—the Monthly Cumulative Days Destroyed (CDD) to Yearly CDD ratio—has reached an anomalously high level of 0.25. This is occurring within the $106,000 to $118,000 price range, a zone that has seen heavy long-term…

Week in review: Trade Deals Materialize The August 1 tariff deadline approaches and with it we have had a few trade deal announcements which came out this week. Market sentiment seemed to get a boost, with Gold in particular feeling the heat of a stronger US Dollar. Market participants remain at least partially on the edge of their seats as we have not seen any details of agreements as yet. This led to early signs of cracks in potential trade deals with the US announcing a Japan trade deal which included significant investments in the US. However, Japanese officials and US officials seem to have differing views of the deal with Japanese officials stating that the U…

Dragonfly Capital could be in serious trouble. A federal prosecutor told a New York court that the Department of Justice is weighing criminal charges against one of the firm’s general partners in connection with their investment in Tornado Cash. It’s a surprising twist in the trial of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm and raises a bigger question: can investors be held legally responsible for what their portfolio projects do? Legal Spotlight Shines on Tom Schmidt Tom Schmidt, a partner at Dragonfly, found himself mentioned in court when the prosecutor casually noted that charges against him were still on the table. That comment was quickly sealed from the record, but th…

Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko stirred up heat this week by calling memecoins and NFTs “digital slop” with no real value. He made the remark on X as part of a back‑and‑forth with Base creator Jesse Pollak. Yakovenko compared these tokens to loot boxes in free‑to‑play mobile games. His blunt take has drawn both praise and criticism from across the crypto world. Memecoins Face Harsh Words Yakovenko said he’s held this view since at least January 2024. He argued that the price people pay is all that gives these tokens any worth. Pollak shot back, saying that the content itself—like a painting hanging in a museum—carries its own value, no matter what you charge to see …

Bitcoin remains trapped in a tight consolidation range that began over two weeks ago, fueling expectations of an imminent breakout or breakdown. The lack of decisive movement has created a state of market indecision, with neither bulls nor bears taking full control. Price continues to hover between key support and resistance levels, showing no strong signs of accumulation or distribution. According to new data from CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase—a metric that reflects the overall temperature of the market—currently sits at a neutral level. This indicates that market conditions are balanced, with no clear dominance from buyers or sellers. Profit-taking remains…

Bitcoin (BTC) is facing renewed downward pressure as it struggles to maintain levels above $115,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading around $115,745, down approximately 2.2% in the past 24 hours and nearly 6% below its July all-time high of $123,000. The latest market movement has raised questions about short-term price stability, particularly amid growing concerns over weak structural support in the current trading zone.

Xena, a well‐known voice in the XRP community, has put a bold target on the table. She says that if Bitcoin can reach $1 million, then XRP could push all the way to $1,000. Based on reports from the XRP camp, she argues that hitting that mark would turn more everyday investors into millionaires than Bitcoin’s own million‐dollar milestone. XPR’s Potential Millionaires According to Xena’s math, you can pick up 1,000 XRP tokens today for about $2,960, since each token trades at $2.97. If XRP ever climbed to $1,000 per token, that position would be worth $1 million. Compare that with Bitcoin. At its current price of $114,500, the same $2,960 only buys about 0.025 BTC. If …

Bitcoin has entered a precarious situation after falling below $114,000, and sellers continue to mount pressure on it. This comes after a rise to new all-time highs, and sticking to previous trends, Bitcoin looks to be testing previous support levels before continuing on its journey. However, as the price continues to struggle, crypto analyst Xanrox has predicted that a crash is in the future, warning investors to beware of investing in BTC. Bitcoin Shows Signs Of Crash In the analysis, Xanrox pointed out that the Bitcoin price is already primed to crash in the short term. This is due to the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that is yet to be filled, and the price is …

Bitcoin is navigating a critical juncture after reaching a new all-time high of $124,500 last week before quickly retreating. The price is now searching for support, with volatility intensifying and traders debating whether this is the start of a deeper correction or simply a healthy consolidation phase before continuation. Some analysts remain optimistic, seeing this pullback as a natural reset in an overheated market, while others argue that momentum is fading as bearish signals emerge. Adding weight to the discussion, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler highlighted a key trend in retail participation. The share of retail transfers in the $0–$10K range within Bitcoin’s tot…

Mineral Resources (ASX: MIN) has plunged to a A$904 million ($588 million) annual loss, reversing a A$125 million ($114 million) profit the year before, as the debt-heavy iron ore and lithium producer struggles to convince investors it has a clear succession plan. The Australian miner stumbled through a bruising year of governance scandals in 2024, capped by a corporate probe into managing director Chris Ellison’s business dealings. While shareholders seemed satisfied when Ellison agreed in November to step down within 12 to 18 months, many are now impatient with the lack of visible progress on finding a successor. In a letter to shareholders, new chairman Malcolm…
