CRV Soars 70% on Breakout, Outflows & On-Chain Volume Surge

|
The Curve DAO’s CRV token surged over 70% in one week, climbing from a weekly low of $0.60 to near $1.05 after breaking key resistance at $0.85. On-chain volume topped $848 million in seven days, and daily transactions exceeded 10,000—a multi-month high. More than 50 million CRV left exchanges recently, signaling accumulation by long-term holders. The CRV token’s market cap reached $1.33 billion as investors locked tokens via the vote-escrow (veCRV) mechanism to boost governance influence and liquidity incentives. Curve’s total value locked stands at $2.49 billion across chains, supported by integrations with Yearn Finance, Compound, Aave and a launch on Polyhedra’s EXPchain. A recent protocol update added a DAO treasury, refreshed Llamalend UI and a cross-chain Block Oracle. Technically, CRV broke out of a $0.66–$0.70 consolidation range, with strong volume confirming the move. The token trades above its rising 9-day EMA ($0.74) and 50-day SMA ($0.61). A sustained close above $1.00 could propel CRV toward $1.05, while a drop below $0.94–$0.96 may trigger a retracement to $0.88. These developments point to sustained bullish momentum for the CRV token. Traders should watch on-chain activity and key resistance at $0.995–$1.00 for potential entry and exit signals.

Calls for Fed Regime Change and Fed-Treasury Alliance

|
President Trump has stepped up public attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of corruption and urging his removal. The growing political pressure fuels talk of a Fed regime change. On CNBC, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh urged a full Fed regime change and proposed reviving a Fed-Treasury alliance. He blamed the current leadership for a credibility deficit, backed coordinated rate cuts, and suggested tying quantitative tightening to fiscal targets to address the $36 trillion U.S. debt. For crypto traders, these developments raise the odds of looser monetary policy. Bitcoin may rally as a safe-haven amid uncertainty. Traders should watch Fed communications and Powell’s term, which runs until May 2026, for signals on interest rates and policy shifts.

RippleX Proposes Metadata Standard for XRPL MPTs

|
RippleX has introduced a draft metadata standard (XLS-0089d) to streamline Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) creation, discovery, and integration on the XRP Ledger. The proposed standard defines on-ledger JSON fields—currency, name, asset_class—as mandatory, and optional keys like desc, icon, acct_name, and weblinks within a 1024-byte limit. An external URI can host richer off-chain data. To improve token discoverability and interoperability across wallets, explorers, and DEX UIs, the standard classifies assets by purpose (rwa, defi, gaming, memes, wrapped, other) and subclass (stablecoin, commodity, equity, etc.). Adoption is voluntary, but SDKs will warn developers when metadata is missing. Once 80% community approval is reached, the amendment activates without a hard fork. XRP traded at $3.15 at press time.

MSTR Soars on Bitcoin Hold as Saylor Urges ’More BTC’

|
MicroStrategy (ticker MSTR) hit a record $128.4 billion market cap on July 16, 2025, driven by its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Since August 2020, the firm has amassed 601,550 BTC (2.86% of circulating supply), valued at about $73 billion, shielding its balance sheet from inflation and aligning MSTR’s share price with Bitcoin price action. Over the past five years, MSTR stock returned 3,558%, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 905% rally and major indices like QQQ and SPY. Michael Saylor, executive chairman, reinforced his bullish stance on X, declaring “the only thing better than Bitcoin is More Bitcoin.” This large-scale corporate accumulation positions MicroStrategy as a de facto Bitcoin ETF, fueling institutional demand and potentially supporting Bitcoin prices. While volatility and regulatory risks persist, MSTR’s disciplined buy strategy at an average price of $71,270 per BTC underscores strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term store-of-value appeal.

Chainalysis: Record Crypto Theft and Surge in Asia Violent Crime

|
A Chainalysis report reveals record crypto crime in H1 2025, with $2.17 billion stolen from services—surpassing all of 2024. North Korea’s $1.5 billion hack of ByBit accounts for 69% of crypto theft. Personal wallet breaches rose to 23.4% of losses. “Wrench attacks” spiked during Bitcoin rallies, highlighting violent targeting. Simultaneously, Asia has emerged as a hotspot for violent crypto crime. In 2023, forced transfers at gunpoint in Southeast and South Asia totalled $7 million, up 75% year-on-year. Criminals demand Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT) or TRON (TRX) to evade banks. Key hotspots include the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. Laundering tactics range from bridge transfers and mixers to premium fees up to 14.5× standard costs. High-profile cases—such as a ₱200 million ransom in the Philippines—demonstrate how blockchain forensics aid law enforcement. With stolen funds on pace to exceed $4 billion by year-end, the report urges exchanges to strengthen security culture, adopt multisignature wallets, enhance on-chain monitoring, improve real-time compliance and educate users on safe withdrawals.

Infini Hack: 4,770 ETH Dump Signals Further Sell-Off

|
The Infini hack first surfaced on July 10, 2023, when attackers drained 6,771 ETH (~$19 M) from the DeFi lending protocol. The hacker laundered 5,000 ETH via Tornado Cash and held 1,771 ETH in intermediary wallets. In February 2025, the Infini hack recurred, with the attacker stealing $50 M in USDC and converting most to 17,696 ETH at an average price of $2,798. As ETH climbed above $3,400, their holdings rose to $59 M, netting over $10 M in profits. On July 17, 2025, the linked wallet reactivated, moving 4,770 ETH (~$16 M). PeckShieldAlert reports 3,000 ETH flowed through Tornado Cash and 1,770 ETH swapped for $5.9 M in DAI—a clear ETH dump. The wallet still holds roughly $38 M in ETH, suggesting more liquidations ahead. Infini’s 20% bounty and no-legal-action offer yielded no recoveries. The incident highlights persistent smart contract admin risks and ranks among 2025’s largest crypto exploits. Traders should brace for potential bearish pressure on ETH prices as further sell-offs unfold.

SPX’s 31% Gain Boosts Meme Coins After $55M SOL Buy

|
Meme coins rallied as SPX led a 31% monthly gain, boosting the sector’s market cap to $72.3 billion. The surge helped investor Murad grow his portfolio to $56.9 million without rebalancing for eight months. On July 16, Solana’s launchpad Letsbonk.fun saw 19,900 new meme token launches, driving a 60% increase in active launch addresses. Earlier, Galaxy Digital bought $55 million of SOL in two hours, pushing SOL’s 24-hour volume to $9 billion and its price up 6% to $173 amid growing ETF expectations. Solana-linked tokens BONK and SPX6900 saw a 26% volume boost. Traders are eyeing new presale memecoins like Snorter Token (SNORT) and Token6900 (T6900), the latter raising over $500,000. Meanwhile, Dogecoin broke above $0.20, posting a 17% weekly gain and daily volume of $3.3 billion, with analysts targeting $0.43 next. These developments underscore renewed interest in high-volatility meme coins and Solana ecosystem activity.

Ethereum Nears $4K on ETF Inflows; BTC & Meme Coins Surge

|
Ethereum price is climbing toward the $4,000 mark after spot ETH ETFs logged seven consecutive days of net inflows totalling $1.3 billion. Institutional buyers, led by SharpLink Gaming’s increase to 280,000 ETH, are complementing enhanced staking since the Shanghai upgrade, reducing liquid supply and bolstering Ethereum price momentum. Technically, Ethereum has cleared $3,000 and is testing resistance at $3,100–$3,220, though overbought indicators point to a possible short-term pullback. Bitcoin shows a bullish cup-and-handle on the monthly chart, with a clear break above $112,000 potentially targeting $230,000 following $700 million in leverage liquidations. In meme coins, Solana-based Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) raised over $3 million in presale funding, offering 395% APY on staked tokens with 130 million locked. Easing trade tensions and tariff extensions may funnel additional capital into crypto markets, driving further gains in DeFi networks, NFTs and new token launches.

Ethereum Rallies from $3,000 to $3,400, Eyes $3,500+

|
Ethereum price continues its uptrend after initially breaking above $3,000, extending its rally past $3,400 on strong buying momentum. The ETH/USD pair trades above its 100-hour simple moving average and a key bullish trend line near $3,300, with RSI above 50 and rising MACD momentum. Bulls have tested the $3,420 zone and could push toward $3,500 and $3,650 if the $3,420 resistance is cleared. On the downside, supports lie at $3,300, $3,220 and $3,180, with a drop below $3,220 risking a correction to $3,050. Elsewhere, XRP maintains bullish momentum around $3.00, facing resistance at $3.30 and support near $2.70, while Bitcoin’s rally peaked at $125,000 before consolidating between $115,000 and $120,000, supported by strong longs at $112,000–$118,000. Overall, bullish momentum in Ethereum price and XRP technicals outweighs Bitcoin’s pullback, reinforcing a positive outlook for crypto trading.

U.S. House Passes Federal Crypto Bill Narrow 217-212 Vote

|
On DATE, the U.S. House passed a federal crypto bill in a narrow 217-212 vote. The crypto bill would set national rules for cryptocurrency regulation and investor protection. It includes measures on market oversight, tax reporting, and consumer safeguards. This marks the first major push for comprehensive digital asset regulation at the federal level. Supporters say clearer rules will boost market stability and drive institutional adoption. Critics warn of regulatory overreach and risks for retail traders. The tight vote underscores deep partisan splits and policy uncertainty. Traders are now eyeing the Senate’s review and potential amendments. The outcome could trigger short-term price swings and shape long-term regulatory clarity for the crypto market.

Smarter Web Company Boosts Bitcoin Reserves to 2,500 BTC

|
UK-based tech firm The Smarter Web Company has steadily increased its Bitcoin reserves through two cash-funded purchases. In 2025, the company spent £27.1 million to acquire 325 BTC at an average price of £83,525, raising its Bitcoin reserves to 1,600 BTC as part of a decade-long cryptocurrency strategy. It introduced a Price-to-Bitcoin-Yield-Delivered (P/BYD) metric, showing current yield rates could recoup costs in 32 days, with year-to-date Bitcoin yields at 39,258% and a 419% return over the past month. With £4 million in cash left and Bitcoin payments accepted since 2023, further purchases are planned. More recently, Smarter Web completed a $36 million buy of about 950 BTC at $37,900 apiece, boosting its Bitcoin reserves to 2,500 BTC and ranking it among the top 100 corporate Bitcoin holders globally. Following this latest acquisition, the firm’s share price rose 4%. Traders should monitor rising corporate demand, potential short-term Bitcoin volatility, and support for long-term price appreciation.

TAC Mainnet Live Fuels DApp Adoption, TON Price Eyes $3.69

|
The TAC mainnet went live on Tuesday, enabling Telegram’s 1 billion users to access EVM DApps directly within the messenger. This TAC mainnet integration could drive significant DApp adoption and asset inflows into the Toncoin network. In price analysis, TON price has surged above its 20-day EMA at $2.94 and is nearing the descending triangle’s downtrend line near $3.00. A decisive break above this resistance would invalidate the bearish pattern and likely push TON/USDT toward $3.69 on the daily chart. Conversely, failure to clear $3.00 may keep TON price confined within the triangle, testing support at $2.75. On the four-hour chart, rising moving averages and a bullish RSI favour further gains. A bounce off the 20-EMA and a break of the downtrend line could set up a rally to $3.40–$3.50. Alternatively, a drop below the short-term EMAs risks a retest of $2.90. Traders should monitor these key technical levels ahead of a potential breakout.

Windtree to Build $200M BNB Treasury, CZ Backs Build & Build

|
Windtree Therapeutics has signed a $200 million securities purchase agreement with Build and Build Corp to establish a regulated BNB treasury. In phase one, the Nasdaq-listed biotech will deploy $60 million to acquire BNB tokens and shares in the Osprey BNB Chain Trust. CEO Jed Latkin says this marks a key milestone in Windtree’s digital asset strategy. Binance CEO CZ praised the initiative on X, calling for more BNB micro strategies. Build and Build Corp, backed by Off The Chain Capital, Kraken, Galaxy, and Silvermine, serves as a bridge for traditional capital into crypto. Windtree’s approach allows institutional investors to gain BNB exposure via stock without direct custody. BNB ranks among the top ten cryptocurrencies with a market cap of about $101.9 billion and daily trading volumes near $2 billion. Following the announcement, Windtree’s shares dipped 4.6% to $0.79. Analysts say more corporate BNB reserves could boost liquidity and long-term valuation, underscoring a broader institutional trend in altcoin treasury strategies.

SRM to TRON in $210M Merger; Shares Jump 533%, 365M TRX

|
SRM Entertainment has rebranded as TRON after completing a $210 million reverse merger led by Justin Sun’s Tron. The newly named TRON began trading on Nasdaq under the “TRON” ticker on July 17. The deal, partly financed by a $100 million TRX injection from Justin Sun’s father, propels the company into crypto-focused treasury management. The Florida-based firm, formerly a Disney-themed merchandise supplier, now holds 365 million TRX tokens. TRON has staked its TRX on JustLend, earning yields up to 10%. SRM shares surged 533% on June 16 to $9.19, then jumped another 53% following the renaming. Weike Sun will serve as chair, with Justin Sun as advisor. CEO Rich Miller says the rebrand aims to boost long-term value through fast, low-cost transactions. This move cements TRON as a leading corporate holder and staker of TRX, likely driving on-chain activity and token demand.

SEC Delays Bitwise BTC & ETH ETF In-Kind Creations Sept 2025

|
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended its review of Bitwise Asset Management’s in-kind crypto ETF creation proposals for its Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Ethereum ETF (ETHW), postponing a decision from July 25 to September 8, 2025. Under the in-kind crypto ETF creation model, authorized participants would exchange actual Bitcoin and Ethereum for ETF shares, mirroring traditional commodity funds and aiming to reduce slippage, streamline operations, and secure tax efficiencies. The SEC’s cautious stance, which also delayed BlackRock’s spot Ethereum ETF decision, reflects ongoing scrutiny over market manipulation, custody security, and operational complexity. Commissioner Hester Peirce maintains that in-kind creations for crypto ETFs are inevitable, while major managers such as 21Shares, Fidelity, WisdomTree, BlackRock, and VanEck pursue similar applications. Bitcoin trades near $118,900 and Ethereum around $3,360, indicating robust demand for regulated crypto ETFs. Approval of in-kind crypto ETF creations could enhance ETF liquidity, lower costs, and pave the way for advanced structures. Traders should monitor the updated timeline and regulatory shifts, as further delays may slow US crypto ETF innovation.

Pump.Fun’s $19M PUMP Buyback Sparks 30% Rally

|
Solana-based launchpad Pump.Fun has allocated roughly $19.3 million in platform fees to repurchase 3.2 billion PUMP tokens at an average price of 0.0064 SOL, reversing an earlier sale of 4.1 million SOL. Earmarking 187,770 SOL (~$30.5 million) for the deflationary buyback, the initiative follows a record-breaking $600 million token sale completed in 12 minutes. The PUMP token deflationary move boosted market sentiment, triggering a near 30% price rally from $0.005 to $0.0068. On Hyperliquid DEX, PUMP/USDC trading initially dropped 13% before rebounding strongly. Retail engagement surged, with active addresses rising from 10,000 to 33,000 in two days, driven by small holders. Pump.Fun also acquired Kolscan, a wallet-monitoring tool designed to attract smart-money tracking. Facing competition from other launchpads like letsbonk.fun and its BONK token, Pump.Fun’s future hinges on sustaining value beyond the memecoin hype. Traders will monitor whether continued buyback momentum and on-chain analytics can secure long-term growth and market share.

XRP Rallies to Six-Month High on $8.8B Record Open Interest

|
XRP rallied to a six-month high, climbing over 5% in the past week to around $3.05. Open interest in XRP perpetual futures hit a record $8.8 billion, up from $3.2 billion, driven by a $3.4 billion influx on Binance and Bitget. Positive funding rates on major exchanges reflect bullish trader sentiment and FOMO in leveraged long positions. Trading volumes also jumped 30% week-on-week. Analysts link the momentum to renewed optimism over Ripple’s SEC legal battle, compliance features of the XRP Ledger, and potential stablecoin legislation. Improved regulatory clarity is boosting institutional adoption. The combination of record derivatives activity, growing institutional interest, and a clearer legal outlook may enhance liquidity and price stability.

Altseason 2025: Ethereum Breakout, Bitcoin Dominance Falls

|
Altseason 2025 is gaining momentum as Bitcoin dominance falls and Ethereum extends its breakout, sparking an altcoin rally. Over the past three weeks, an altcoin market index surged 225%, driven by memecoins and DeFi tokens. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu jumped over 300%, while Solana, Cardano, Avalanche and Polygon recorded gains of 150% to 250%. Bitcoin’s market share slid from 66% to about 63.4%, lifting total altcoin capitalization above $1.5 trillion as traders rotated profits. Ethereum doubled since April, breaking above $3,900, and now serves as a bellwether for broader altcoin performance. Market strategist Merlijn the Trader notes that current resistance tests mirror those before the 2021 altseason breakout. Despite Bitcoin hitting new highs, retail interest remains muted according to Google Trends, suggesting a delayed, retail-driven phase could fuel the next wave of Altseason 2025. Traders should monitor Bitcoin support near $60,000, Ethereum resistance around $4,000 and on-chain retail activity. A sharp Bitcoin correction or broader macro sell-off could still trigger swift altcoin reversals, so strict risk controls remain essential.

PEPE price has rallied 30% over the past week, breaking above $0.000014 after a long consolidation near $0.000009. An earlier breakout above $0.000012 flipped resistance into support, fueling bullish momentum. The 14-day RSI at 69.7 remains below overbought levels. Renewed retail interest and a 6.2% surge in Ethereum to $3,250 amid leadership changes and upgrade proposals have driven the rally. On-chain data reveals a $83 million drop in large PEPE transactions since July 11, pointing to retail-led flows. Technically, PEPE price is testing resistance at $0.0000135 and the upper Bollinger Band. A daily close above $0.000014 could trigger a breakout towards $0.000016. Key supports lie at $0.0000125 and $0.0000108; failure below $0.000012 may lead to $0.0000105–$0.000011.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) rebounded 6% in 24 hours, trading around $0.0000138 as altcoins recover. However, large SHIB transfers (≥$100,000) plunged 69% from 6.04T to 1.87T SHIB, signaling possible demand loss. On-chain activity on Shibarium remains active, with over 4.2M daily transactions, 48% network utilization and low gas fees. RSI near 70 and a positive MACD confirm bullish momentum for Shiba Inu. SHIB has also broken above its 20-, 50- and 100-day EMAs and needs a daily close above the 200-day EMA ($0.0000145) to target $0.0000175–$0.000025. Derivatives open interest is up 40% since early July, while long-term holders exceed one million addresses. Analysts expect SHIB to reach $0.000020 by late August and $0.000040 by year-end, aided by the upcoming Alpha Layer release.

ADA Surges 39% on Breakout, Hoskinson Denies Scam Claims

|
Cardano’s ADA price surged above a seven-month descending trendline and key resistance at $0.70, climbing 39% in July to around $0.75. Founder Charles Hoskinson publicly denied recent scam allegations, reinforcing community confidence. The breakout, confirmed by a 24-hour trading volume of $1.31 billion and rising on-chain activity, tested the $0.78–$0.80 zone. Technical indicators—an RSI above 70 and a bullish MACD crossover—support further upside toward $0.84 and the psychological $1 level, with Fibonacci targets as high as $2.76. However, overbought RSI levels could spark a short pullback to supports at $0.66 and $0.60. ADA/BTC rebounded from 0.00000500 to 0.00000635 BTC, maintaining a 0.92 correlation with Bitcoin’s support around $119 000. A drop below $118 000 in Bitcoin could stall ADA’s rally. Market sentiment remains bullish, with over 70% long positions on major exchanges. With a market cap above $27 billion and developments like the Reeve middleware platform, ADA’s fundamentals remain strong. Traders should monitor ADA price for a close above $0.82 to target the next resistances at $1.08 and beyond.
