🔔  Macro alert: July CPI, retail sales & more (Aug. 10–14)

Inflation is back in focus. June's cooler CPI offered some relief, but the picture has changed since the Iran ceasefire collapsed and energy prices moved higher. This week's CPI, PPI, retail sales, and consumer sentiment data should give markets a better read on inflation and the strength of the US consumer.

💵CPI: Did inflation bottom in June?

Wednesday's July report is expected to show headline inflation easing further, while core CPI is forecast to pick up on a monthly basis after being flat in June.

That combination will be important. If core inflation starts moving higher again, markets could question whether the recent cooling trend can continue. A softer print, on the other hand, would give the Fed more room to consider easing later on.

🛒 Consumer check: spending and sentiment

Friday brings July retail sales and the latest consumer sentiment reading.

Retail spending is expected to remain weak, while core sales are forecast to recover only modestly from June's decline. Sentiment is also expected to slip, with labor-market concerns still weighing on households.

Together, the data should show whether the US consumer is simply slowing or losing more meaningful momentum.

🔑 Key macro data

📈 Inflation

• CPI (Jul.) (Aug. 12): Headline at 3.4% YoY (from 3.5%), 0.1% MoM (from -0.4%); core at 0.2% MoM (from 0.0%), 2.5% YoY (from 2.6%).

• PPI (Jul.) (Aug. 13): Headline at 0.2% MoM (from -0.3%); core at 0.3% MoM (from 0.2%).

🛒 Consumer & sentiment

• Retail Sales (Jul.) (Aug. 14): Headline at 0.1% (from 0.2%); core at 0.2% (from -0.2%).

• Michigan Consumer Sentiment (Aug.) (Aug. 14): Expected to dip to 54.4 (from 55.2).

🤩 Earnings

• Super Micro Computer (Aug. 12): Server demand and record backlog will be in focus.

☝️ What could move crypto?

📌 CPI: A hot core print (above 0.2% MoM) could revive inflation concerns, supporting the USD and putting pressure on crypto. A cooler reading would give risk assets some relief.

📌 PPI: A stronger-than-expected PPI could raise concerns that producer costs are feeding into consumer prices, making the Fed less likely to ease policy soon. A softer print would have the opposite effect.

📌 Retail sales: Weak spending (below 0.1%) would point to softer consumer demand and could strengthen expectations for Fed easing, which would generally be supportive for digital assets. Resilient spending could keep rate-cut hopes in check.

📌 Consumer sentiment: A sharp drop would reinforce concerns about the US consumer and broader economic growth. That could weigh on risk appetite, although weaker sentiment could also strengthen expectations for Fed easing

📌 Super Micro earnings: Strong AI infrastructure commentary could support broader risk appetite, which would likely be positive for crypto as well.

We all know how this ends.

"My token will moon based on vibes!"🌈

The hype lasts for a while. Then the timeline moves on, and someone eventually asks:

"OK, but what does the token actually do?"

That’s a fair question. A token can have a great story, a big community and plenty of hype. But without a real use case, there’s not much beyond speculation.

So what about EBT?

🤩 EBT is designed around the EarnBIT ecosystem, with utility planned across the platform:

→ Lower trading fees
→ Staking rewards for EBT holders
→ Launchpad priority for new projects
→ Streaming perks tied to EarnBIT’s Streaming economy, currently in development

The point isn't that these things will make EBT “moon.” It's that the token has a defined purpose within EarnBIT, rather than relying on hype.

So before asking "Will it go up?", maybe ask:

"What would I actually use this token for?"

That's a much more useful question.

For EBT, the answer is the utility being built across EarnBIT's products.

🤩 Explore the EBT IEO

⏹️ Weekly price roundup (Aug. 5–12): BTC stuck in summer grind as CPI looms, XRP loses $1

The summer grind continues. Bitcoin has been stuck in a $62K-$66K range for over a month, with volumes drying up to levels not seen since early 2021. XRP dropped below $1 for the first time since 2024 after a bridge exploit. Trump Media posted a $238M quarterly loss, and all eyes are on today's CPI to break the lull.

Here's the breakdown.

🚨 Key events

🗞 CPI could finally crack the summer range 💰

July's inflation report drops today — and it's the first major test since Warsh's late-July press conference. Markets are split. A hotter print could revive September rate hike talk.

A softer one could unlock some breathing room for risk assets. This report is the clearest signal yet on whether energy-driven inflation is cooling or stubbornly sticking around.

🗞 Trump Media's crypto gamble backfires 💸

Trump Media & Technology Group just reported a $238M loss for Q2. Most of it came from unrealized crypto losses — over $190M.

The company holds 9,477 BTC and 756M CRO. It's now killing its Crypto.com partnership and plans to use options to hedge volatility. CRO dropped 13.6% on the news, joining this week's biggest losers.

🗞 XRP dips below $1 after Coreum bridge drain 😛

Cross-chain bridge Coreum lost 200,000 XRP in under two hours on August 9. The attacker exploited a logic flaw — the bridge never confirmed deposits actually hit the bridge wallet before minting tokens.

Every signature was valid; the code just didn't check. XRP slipped to $0.99 before recovering.

🗞 Harmony hacked — 4B tokens minted, ONE crashes 37% 🔥

An attacker minted roughly 4 billion ONE (about 26% of the supply) through empty blocks. Around 97% of those tokens have already hit exchanges, and ONE crashed 37% to $0.00077.

Harmony paused its bridge and shipped a patch within hours. A chain rollback is now on the table — which would undo the attack and every legitimate transaction made since.

📊 Crypto performance (7 days)

💰 Bitcoin (BTC): Still glued to the range. Pushed to $65.2K on Aug. 7, then slid to $63.3K by Aug. 11

⏰ Currently at $63,416.36 (-1.7%)

💰 Ether (ETH): Bounced to $1,915, clung to $1.9K, then followed BTC down to $1,861 before rebounding.

⏰ Now at $1,891.15 (+0.8%)

↗️ Top weekly gainers

🔸 BTW (+51.5%) — Anticipated ecosystem expansions plus BTCFi hype. Perpetual futures launched this summer are adding speculative fire.

🔸 XLM (+12.6%) — A whale opened a $14.3M leveraged long position on Hyperliquid, while renewed demand for privacy tools following the Coinsbuy hack added fuel.

🔸 LIT (+10.7%) — One whale scooped up 3.38M LIT in a day. Buybacks and Robinhood Chain integration are keeping the momentum going.

📉 Top weekly losers

🔻 UNI (-14.5%) — Leveraged long liquidations hit hard. New competition from Sushi's POOLS on Robinhood Chain is also diverting liquidity and fee revenue.

🔻 CRO (-13.8%) — Trump Media scrapped its treasury partnership. The company's $238M loss included a hit on its 756M CRO holdings.

🔻 ONDO (-12.9%) — Founder Nathan Allman passed away, triggering a legal battle over control. CEO De Bode is being sued.

📊 Friday wrap-up: Crypto market highlights

🇺🇸 It's a regulatory triple whammy. The Clarity Act is stalled in the Senate, the SEC's "Reg Crypto" rule got postponed indefinitely, and the long-awaited innovation exemption is reportedly delayed too. The industry is stuck waiting on all fronts — no clarity, no timeline.

💲 CPI matched forecasts and did nothing. Core eased to 2.5%, yet the print failed to spark any momentum. The cooling isn't quick enough to shift the Fed's stance.

📊 XRP is showing signs of life after the Coreum bridge incident. Spot XRP ETFs just logged their fifth straight week of inflows. Whales are accumulating; the $1 support is holding.

⭐️ Tether finally delivered its first full financial audit. KPMG issued an unqualified opinion on 2025 statements, showing reserves exceeded liabilities by $6.8B. A transparency milestone, even if it took years to get here.

🔔  Macro alert: FOMC minutes, PMIs & more (Aug. 17–21)

Bitcoin is hovering around $64K as markets wait for FOMC minutes. The July meeting ended with a rare 9–3 vote to hold rates steady. Three dissenters in one direction is unusual — and traders will be watching to see how much support that view actually had inside the committee.

🖋 FOMC minutes: How strong was the dissent?

Wednesday’s minutes should give a better idea of whether the three votes were isolated or part of a broader hawkish shift.

If more policymakers were open to a hike, markets could start pricing a tougher September meeting. If not, the minutes may do little to change the current rate outlook.

That matters for crypto. Bitcoin has been moving sideways, so a meaningful change in rate expectations could quickly spill into risk assets.

🌎 Geopolitics: Ceasefire deadline looms

The US-Iran ceasefire is set to expire on August 20, with prediction markets currently putting the chance of an extension at just 13%.

The UAE has reportedly seized billions in Iranian assets, while the US Navy blockade of Iranian ports could continue indefinitely, according to recent comments.

Markets are already watching the fallout. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.696% on Friday as traders weighed soft retail sales against renewed Middle East tensions. Higher yields generally make risk assets less attractive — and crypto is no exception.

🏭 PMIs: Growth check

Friday brings the first look at August business activity.

Manufacturing is expected to edge higher to 54.0, while services are forecast to slow to 53.9 from 54.6. The services number will be worth watching for signs that growth is starting to cool.

🔑 Key macro data

🌍 Fed & geopolitics

• FOMC Minutes (Jul.) (Aug. 19): 9–3 vote, with three policymakers favoring a hike.
• Iran ceasefire expires Aug. 20: 13% chance of an extension, according to prediction markets.

🏭 PMIs

• S&P Global Manufacturing PMI (Aug. - flash) (Aug. 21): Projected at 54.0 (from 53.9).
• S&P Global Services PMI (Aug. - flash) (Aug. 21): Expected at 53.9 (from 54.6).

💼 Labor

• Initial Jobless Claims (Aug. 20): Expected at 210K (from 209K).

☝️ What could move crypto?

📌 FOMC minutes: A broader hawkish view could strengthen the USD and weigh on crypto. A more isolated dissent would take some pressure off.

📌 Geopolitics: A ceasefire extension could help oil and risk sentiment. Escalation or a breakdown in talks would likely keep pressure on risk assets.

📌 PMIs: Cooling services activity could support expectations for Fed patience. Stronger-than-expected data could push rate-cut expectations back.

📌 Jobless claims: A meaningful rise in claims would point to a softer labor market and could strengthen expectations for Fed easing — potentially supportive for crypto. A stronger labor market would give the Fed less reason to cut.

⚡️ Weekly price roundup (Aug. 12–19): BTC holds $64K as markets digest SEC surprise, await FOMC

Bitcoin just ripped to $69.7K as the Treasury announced it's doubling long-dated bond buybacks, sending yields lower. The move comes ahead of today's FOMC minutes and adds fresh fuel to a market already digesting a surprise SEC proposal and Metaplanet's US expansion.

Here's the breakdown.

🚨 Key events

🗞 Treasury buybacks crush yields, BTC surges 📈

The US Treasury announced it's at least doubling the size of its long-dated bond buybacks, led by Scott Bessent. The move pushed yields lower across the curve and sent Bitcoin surging past $69.7K.

Lower yields make bonds less attractive relative to risk assets, and crypto is catching a strong bid. The buyback program is designed to steady a stressed fixed income market, and crypto is benefiting from the spillover.

🗞 SEC drops surprise crypto rule 📜

The SEC proposed its first permanent rule for digital assets on Tuesday, catching close watchers off guard. Startups can raise up to $5M over four years with lighter disclosure; larger issuers can raise up to $75M per year with more reporting.

The real headline is a safe harbor for projects that become decentralized — they can shed their security status entirely. It's not the permanent framework the industry wanted, but it's the first real rulebook the SEC has offered.

🗞 Metaplanet plants its US flag with 2,100 BTC 🏦

Japan's third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder is crossing the Pacific. Metaplanet is taking a controlling stake in a Nasdaq-listed gaming company, contributing 2,100 BTC ($132M) plus cash.

The renamed entity, Superplanet, will trade under SUPA with 2,100 BTC on the balance sheet from day one. Metaplanet's shares come with a five-year lock-up — a signal of long-term commitment.

🗞 Oil surges on US-Iran tensions 🛢️

October Brent contracts are trading at $91.59 per barrel after four consecutive sessions of gains. Trump denied any ongoing Iran talks and posted a map marking the Strait of Hormuz as "new US territory."

Iran's parliament speaker accused the US of "squeezing" Tehran. The waterway remains closed, and oil keeps creeping higher — adding to inflation pressure.

📊 Crypto performance (7 days)

💰 Bitcoin (BTC): Dipped to $62.5K on Aug. 14, traded around $63K, then surged to $64.8K on Aug. 18 and soared to $69.7K just a few hours ago.

⏰ Currently at $68,704.44 (+8.1%)

💰 Ether (ETH): Slipped below $1.88K, bottomed at $1,870, then rebounded above $1.9K and kept climbing.

⏰ Now at $2,097.46 (+10.6%)

↗️ Top weekly gainers

🔸 BTW (+181.1%) — Bitway launched its DeTraFi staking program with an 8% base APR plus 4% in platform points. Binance Wallet's Booster Season 4 also encouraged deposits.

🔸 ETHFI (+35.5%) — Ether.fi's Summer upgrade expanded into tokenized stocks, Aave-powered lending, and programmatic buybacks funded by protocol revenue.

🔸 VVV (+22.7%) — Venice's privacy-focused AI platform surpassed $100M in annualized revenue. A new Doodle feature and tripled volume added fuel.

📉 Top weekly losers

🔻 STABLE (-13.4%) — A technical breakdown and a surge in selling volume sent it lower. Investors are also weighing the long-term unlock schedule laid out in Whitepaper 2.0 against current supply dynamics.

🔻 FIL (-6.2%) — Broke below key support. Continued daily token unlocks and a lack of catalysts are keeping the pressure on.

🔻 CC (-7.0%) — Slipped on a technical breakdown and bearish derivatives positioning. New exchange listings couldn't offset the drop.
