44,000 BTC sold at a loss due to Bitcoin correction!

In just 24h, panic sellers dumped 44,000 BTC at a loss, fearing a correction — even though BTC never dropped below $115,700. These coins were all bought at higher prices. 🤷

👀 Likely the same folks who once said “$90K is too expensive.”

📈 BTC has already bounced back to $118,000, leaving sellers with empty bags and full regrets.

Meanwhile, crypto Twitter jokes (or not?) that the real reason for the dip was the infamous degen James Wynn returning, reopening his X account and aping into a 40x long at $117K… only to get liquidated again.

🙏 Let’s hope Wynn doesn’t still have funds to “help” the market further.

📉 CEX spot volumes dropped 28% in June

In June 2025, total spot trading volume on centralized exchanges fell by 28% compared to May.

Biggest drops:
🔻 MEXC: -43.5%
🔻 KuCoin: -41.7%
🔻 Upbit: -38.5%

Even Binance saw a 22% decline. 🤷

😴 June was quiet — but July is on fire with new BTC ATHs, so expect a major bounce in trading activity.

📈 Ethereum breaks $3,100 — L2s and ecosystem tokens rally

Ethereum is trading above $3,100, its highest level since January — and the rest of its ecosystem is lighting up:

🔹 Arbitrum (ARB) & Optimism (OP): +10–11%
🔹 Lido (LDO): +10%
🔹 Ethereum Name Service (ENS): +18% — the biggest gainer in the top 100

📛 ENS lets users replace long wallet addresses with readable .eth names — and it's leading the charge as the ETH ecosystem heats up again.

🇺🇸 US Crypto Bills Blocked — Round 2 Coming

Three major crypto bills — GENIUS, CLARITY, and the Anti-CBDC Act — were rejected in the House despite backing from President Trump. 🤷

🧾 GENIUS: stablecoin regulation (100% USD backing)
⚖️ CLARITY: divides powers between SEC & CFTC
🚫 Anti-CBDC: blocks surveillance via digital dollar

📉 223 voted against, including 13 Republicans; Democrats unanimously opposed, accusing Trump of pushing “a crypto corruption scheme.”

But Trump says he met with dissenting Republicans that evening — and they’ve promised to vote YES tomorrow morning.

🔥 The crypto battle in Congress is far from over.

Brace for impact? 👀 James Wynn is back!

Legendary degen trader James Wynn just opened a 40x long on 206 BTC at $117,466 — stop at $116,955 🥴

Every time he enters, Bitcoin mysteriously dips. 📉

So... are we getting another Wynn-induced correction? 👀

Let's just hope he doesn’t double down again 😬

💰 Cantor Fitzgerald plans a $3.5B Bitcoin purchase from Blockstream!

💵 Investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, led by Brandon Lutnick (son of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick), is preparing a massive deal: the purchase of 30,000 BTC from Adam Back’s Blockstream Capital through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners 1.

🔁 In return, Blockstream will receive shares of the newly formed entity — BSTR Holdings
📈 An additional $800M may be raised for further Bitcoin acquisitions
📦 Cantor’s total crypto holdings in 2025 could reach $10B — nearly on par with MicroStrategy

This move mirrors Michael Saylor’s strategy — shifting focus from earnings per share to Bitcoin per share. 🧐

Institutions are going all-in on BTC! 🚀

📊 Bitwise: $150K BTC Soon Due to "Supply Shock"

According to Bitwise, Bitcoin could soon hit $150,000 as a result of a growing supply shock.

Institutions and ETFs are buying BTC much faster than miners can produce it. Meanwhile, long-term holders are accumulating and withdrawing coins from exchanges, reducing the available supply even further. 👀

💡 With demand rising and supply shrinking, the pressure on price is only increasing.

💰 Top 10 Companies Hold $5B in ETH Reserves

Public companies now collectively hold 1.6 million ETH (~$5B) in reserves! 🔥

SharpLink leads the pack with 280,600 ETH, surpassing even the Ethereum Foundation.

📈 Interest in Ethereum has surged after its recent rally above $3,000, sparking aggressive accumulation by corporates.

ETH is quickly becoming a strategic treasury asset.

⚠️ Quantum Threat to Bitcoin? Community Considers Freezing Satoshi’s Coins! 🙀

A new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal by Jameson Lopp and others suggests phasing out quantum-vulnerable addresses, which currently hold ~25% of all BTC, including Satoshi’s legendary stash. 💰

🧠 The fear: Advancing quantum computers could crack old wallets and trigger a mass sell-off.

🔐 The fix:

▪️Disallow sending to weak addresses
▪️Prevent old BTC from being spent (within 5 years)
▪️ Optional: A future BIP to safely recover frozen coins

💥 It's an unprecedented move against an unprecedented threat — and it may change Bitcoin forever.

🚀 Ethereum Season Kicks Off? ETH Eyes $10K 👀

Ethereum is flexing alpha vibes again — trading above $3,400, with many crypto traders now expecting $10K ETH in the next 100 days. 🔥

🧠 Arthur Hayes agrees — calling this the start of a new DeFi and NFT turbo cycle. To mark the moment, he changed his X profile pic to a bearded CryptoPunk, which was instantly bought for 46.69 ETH ($146K).

📈 The punk had been held for 4 years before suddenly changing hands three times since July 14.

Ethereum energy is heating up — and the market’s watching closely. 💪

🕹 $TRUMP memecoin may be entering the gaming arena!

A newly registered domain — trumpthegame.gettrumpmemes.com — was discovered online, sparking speculation that the team is preparing to launch a Trump-themed crypto game 👀

No official confirmation yet, but the move could mark a new chapter for the project amid growing memecoin + gaming trends. 🎮

🇧🇬 Bulgaria once held 213,500 BTC seized in 2017 — but sold them in 2018.

Today, that stash would be worth over $13 billion, enough to cover 79% of the country’s national debt, according to Bitcoin News.

One of the biggest missed opportunities by a government in crypto history 🤷

📊 In Q2, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) hit a whopping $876.3B in spot trading volume. The DEX-to-CEX volume ratio jumped from 0.13 to 0.23, showing rising interest in onchain trading.

🥞 PancakeSwap dominated the space with 45% market share, solidifying its lead among DEX platforms.

📈 ETH to $7K–$8K in 2025?

If Ethereum mirrors BTC’s 2020 pattern, we could see ETH hit $7,000–$8,000 this year, analysts say.

🔹 Staking ATH: 35.7M ETH ($107B) locked — removed from circulation.
🔹 BlackRock Effect: Bought $499M ETH yesterday — a new daily record. Total holdings: $6.9B.
🔹 Retail hype: Google searches for Ethereum just hit the highest level since Dec 2024.

Bullish signals stacking up fast. 👀

🐋 Satoshi-Era Whale Moves 80K BTC ($9.5B)

A legendary Bitcoin whale—possibly Adam Back, British cryptographer and creator of Hashcash—has fully offloaded 80,202 BTC (≈$9.54B) to Galaxy Digital over the last 3 days. These coins had been dormant for 14+ years, acquired when BTC traded at just $0.78–$3.37.

🕵️‍♂️ HBO speculates that Back and Peter Todd could represent the “collective” identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

📦 Final transfer: 40,192 BTC to Galaxy.
💰 Avg. price: ~$118,950 per BTC.
👀 Despite the scale, BTC price remains stable at ~$118,000.

🚀 Crypto Market Awakens

Total crypto market cap has hit $4 trillion, while Bitcoin dominance keeps slowly declining. 💰

📈 ETH is now above $3,600, and XRP just smashed its all-time high, trading close to $3.5.

Is altseason finally knocking on the door? 👀

🚔 Officer Turned Crypto Crook

A former UK National Crime Agency officer, Paul Chowles, has been jailed for 5.5 years after stealing 50 BTC (now worth ~$5.9M) seized during the Silk Road 2.0 probe.

💸 Chowles transferred the Bitcoin using a crypto mixer, tried to hide his tracks, and spent over £100K via crypto debit cards.

👀 Ironically, it was Silk Road’s co-founder who blew the whistle, pointing fingers at the NCA as the only ones with wallet access.

Talk about policing yourself—and failing. 😬

🇺🇸 U.S. Crypto Framework Takes Shape

Congress has approved three major crypto bills, signaling a turning point for U.S. regulation:

✅ GENIUS Act — Now heading to Trump for signature. It requires stablecoin issuers to hold 100% fiat reserves, disclose collateral, and undergo audits.

🧾 Clarity Act — Passed by the House, it aims to clearly separate digital commodities from securities, clarifying CFTC vs. SEC jurisdiction for exchanges.

🚫 Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act — Bans the Fed from launching a digital dollar or experimenting with CBDCs tied to surveillance risks.

All 3 bills are part of Trump’s "crypto week" initiative. Democrats voted against, alleging Trump’s personal crypto interests are behind the push.

📈 New Milestone for Bitcoin

Realized Cap of Bitcoin has surpassed $1 trillion for the first time ever. 💰

Unlike market cap, this metric values each coin at the price it was last moved, offering a more accurate view of actual capital held within the network.

For comparison: if a company earned $1 every second, it would take 31 710 years to accumulate one trillion dollars.
