On July 10, Donald Trump Jr. acquired a significant stake in Thumzup Media Company, a Los Angeles-based firm actively developing a Bitcoin reserve as part of its treasury asset strategy.
Nasdaq leads stock market gains as Nvidia becomes the first ever company to reach a $4 trillion valuation. Major U.S. stock indices rose on Wednesday, July 9, as tech stocks offset macroeconomic uncertainty stemming from new tariff threats. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 136.07 points, or 0.31%, while the S&P 500 added 0.36%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite led the gains with a 0.65% increase. Nvidia was among the top-performing large-cap stocks, rising 2% during the session. The rally propelled the chipmaker past Microsoft and Apple, making it the first company in history to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization. The surge is driven by Nvidia’s central role in providing the hardware that powers advanced artificial intelligence models.

Ethereum has been unusually quiet, and that silence is starting to look deliberate. For several weeks now, ETH has hovered around the $2500 mark with little deviation, absorbing volatility while volumes steadily rise. That kind of stability, especially in a token known for wide swings, signals preparation rather than hesitation. Institutional activity has picked up considerably. Spot transactions are growing heavier, and on-chain metrics point to a steady surge in interest, not just from retail but from long-term allocators as well. The market seems to be watching ETH with a kind of controlled anticipation, and that attention has a direction. Ethereum’s Shift from Store to Engine and What That Means for the Rest of the Market In the last few weeks, two publicly listed companies have made massive moves into ETH. Bit Digital, a Nasdaq-traded firm, sold off its Bitcoin reserves and converted over $200 million into ETH, stating openly that Ethereum’s yield structure and long-term financial utility aligned better with its strategy. They swapped all of their BTC for ETH 😮This makes @BitDigital_BTBT the 3rd largest ETH holder as a publicly traded company ($250M+ worth). pic.twitter.com/fBmjqYS21u — FOMO HOUR (@fomohour) July 8, 2025 Around the same time, SharpLink Gaming added over 200,000 ETH to its treasury and staked the entire amount. Both firms raised additional capital from public markets specifically to increase their Ethereum holdings. These are not minor portfolio shifts. They reflect a structural bet on ETH as a productive, programmable asset rather than a speculative one. ⚡️BIG: SharpLink Gaming has purchased 7,689 $ETH worth $19.2 million, increasing its total Ethereum holdings to 205,634 $ETH . This makes @SharpLinkGaming (NASDAQ: $SBET ) the largest publicly traded $ETH holder and shows its aggressive buying strategy as institutional demand… pic.twitter.com/Wf794A2OSU — Crypto Coin Show (@CryptoCoinShow) July 9, 2025 What makes this more significant is the timing. Ethereum has remained steady around the $2500 level while trading volume continues to rise. Liquidity has also returned in the form of ERC-20 stablecoins, which just hit a record $121 billion in supply. These are conditions that typically set the floor for a wider altcoin breakout. Ethereum’s consolidation, coupled with rising participation and large-scale repositioning by major players, is laying the groundwork. And when ETH becomes the magnet, altcoins do not need to ask for attention, they just need to be close enough to catch the spillover. That season is not here yet, but the air has changed. The capital is waiting, and the rotation could begin the moment ETH makes its next real move. Best Crypto to Buy Now - Tokens That Could Pump As the Altcoin Season Approaches Snorter Snorter is built for how crypto is actually used, not how it is marketed. Its core utility lies in its deep integration with Telegram, which remains the most active layer of crypto communication today. Rather than forcing users to adopt a new interface or switch platforms, Snorter embeds an entire analytical and executional framework within a space traders and community members already trust. It handles everything from wallet scanning to sentiment tracking to trade execution, all through conversational prompts inside Telegram chats. This kind of embedded design does not just reduce friction. It changes the speed of action. Users no longer need to move between tools, copy-paste data, or rely on third-party dashboards. Everything flows in real time, inside the conversation. The bot is fast, adaptable, and transparent in its logic, which matters more as noise returns to the market. SNORT was also dubbed to be one of the highest potential presales to consider investing in by top creators and YouTubers like ClayBro and many others, further adding to its popularity. If Ethereum’s current steadiness does lead to a renewed rotation into altcoins, the attention will not be quiet. Snorter is made for that kind of environment. It does not rely on a token pump or abstract hype. Its appeal lies in clarity and control, which become more valuable when volatility returns. As users re-engage, they are likely to choose tools that keep them rooted in the places they already operate from. Snorter sits exactly in that pocket. Bitcoin Hyper Bitcoin Hyper exists to serve a different demand; one grounded in Bitcoin’s base layer but unhindered by its limitations. Built as a Layer 2 network specifically for Bitcoin, Hyper enables smart contracts, low-fee transactions, and application-level programmability without moving away from Bitcoin’s core security and settlement structure. This makes it a functional extension rather than a departure. The logic behind it is straightforward. Bitcoin is often framed as digital gold, but gold cannot process a microtransaction, power a decentralized app, or offer smart execution conditions. Hyper introduces that missing logic while keeping BTC at the center. It is not trying to compete on ecosystem size. It is building a parallel utility set that speaks to Bitcoin’s own user base. The timing is relevant. As Ethereum continues to attract institutional holders and redefine itself as a foundational financial asset, capital is likely to look for complementary systems rather than pure alternatives. Bitcoin Hyper fits into that landscape precisely because it does not ask users to abandon BTC. It simply gives them a way to do more with it. If liquidity begins to flow more widely, protocols that offer this kind of practical expansion will likely stand out, not because they promise more, but because they unlock what was previously restricted. SUBBD SUBBD is structured around creators, not tokens. It does not depend on speculative traction or narrative cycles. Instead, it offers a model where content ownership, discovery, and monetization are built into the system itself. Unlike traditional platforms that control reach and revenue through opaque algorithms, SUBBD allows creators to embed access rules, membership layers, and monetization logic directly into their work using smart contracts. This approach turns each creator into their own ecosystem. Whether it is video, writing, audio, or niche community content, the rules are written by the creator and enforced by the platform’s underlying protocol. This creates consistency in experience and revenue without forcing users or creators into subscription silos or ad-based engagement loops. SUBBD is not trying to rebuild social media. It is building a content economy from the creator upward.

They provide application-level proof of what on-chain logic can do outside of finance. If an altcoin cycle begins to take shape, the market will likely reward projects that demonstrate actual embedded utility and content remains one of the most defensible and scalable categories for that kind of use. SUBBD operates there with precision. Best Wallet Best Wallet is not built for speculation. It is designed for everyday crypto use, and that distinction changes how it functions. At its core, it is a multi-chain Web3 wallet that handles asset storage, transaction execution, token discovery, and dApp access in one continuous interface. The layout is clean, but more importantly, the experience is intentional. Navigation feels immediate. Tasks that are typically segmented- like bridging assets, interacting with staking pools, or participating in presales are streamlined into processes that feel native. The strength of Best Wallet lies in its architecture. It does not treat networks like compartments. It allows users to move across Ethereum, Solana, and other major ecosystems without technical barriers. For those entering the market now, that kind of flexibility is essential. The focus has shifted from holding assets to interacting with them, and wallets need to reflect that shift. As Ethereum consolidates and altcoin attention begins to re-emerge, users will need tools that make participation seamless. That includes managing multiple assets, navigating early-stage launches, and verifying smart contract permissions without relying on clunky workarounds. Best Wallet meets that need with actual infrastructure, not marketing features. If a new cycle builds from the base Ethereum is laying down, the tools that manage and extend that access will play a central role. Best Wallet positions itself there; not as a gateway, but as a full system for interaction. That positioning may prove valuable as user activity returns. Conclusion As Ethereum continues to consolidate and institutional alignment grows stronger, the market is beginning to shift its posture. What was once a scattered field of speculation is becoming a more focused search for function. If this trend continues and an altcoin season does unfold, it will not reward noise; it will reward readiness. The assets discussed above each reflect a different layer of that logic. Some enhance user access, some extend existing networks, and others introduce entirely new models of interaction. What unites them is timing. They are not waiting for a trend. They are built for the conditions that may arrive once the next phase begins. That alone makes them worth watching now. Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article and is for informational purposes only.

Summary BTCI offers high monthly 'income' by writing call options on Bitcoin futures but carries significant risk due to Bitcoin's volatility. The strong performance of Bitcoin and its high 30%+ distribution yield has attracted relatively strong investor interest, with AUM rising quickly. While BTCI has outperformed traditional assets by a wide margin, its options strategy can cap upside and lead to underperformance versus pure Bitcoin ETFs in strong rallies. BTCI is best suited for income-focused investors comfortable with volatility but is not appropriate for the risk-averse given the potential for rapid declines. Written by Nick Ackerman, co-produced by Stanford Chemist NEOS is an ETF sponsor that has been bringing some unique ETFs to the market. One of those is the NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF ( BTCI ), launched toward the end of 2024. This is a relatively newer fund, but the idea is rather simple: the fund holds cash equivalents and Bitcoin USD ( BTC-USD ) exposure through an ETF and long call options while it also writes call options against Bitcoin futures. The fund is actively managed with a "data-driven call option strategy." By writing call options, this provides the fund with option premiums, which can be distributed to investors. I believe this fund is rather risky overall and definitely not for those risk-averse investors. However, someone who is interested in investing in Bitcoin and wants high distribution could find it an interesting idea. BTCI Basics Dividend Frequency: Monthly. Dividend Yield: 2.10% SEC yield, 30.25% Distribution Yield. Expense Ratio: 0.98%. Leverage: N/A. Managed Assets: $345.1 million. Structure: Active ETF. BTCI's investment objective is to "generate high monthly income with the potential for appreciation based on exposure to exchange-traded products ("ETP") that have direct exposure to Bitcoin. They continue with seeking "to distribute monthly income generated from writing call options on Bitcoin Futures ETFs." The fund is actively managed and "seeks to offer upside potential via efficient exposure to Bitcoin ETPs." Despite a relatively short history of coming to market only on October 17, 2024, the fund has garnered much interest, and AUM has risen rapidly. Generally, a high distribution rate can cause a lot of attention. The popularity of Bitcoin also appears to be growing, thanks to its very strong returns as well. Of course, we know that is history, and past performance is no guarantee of future results. So, make of that what you will. BTCI's Portfolio BTCI's portfolio is quite simple, as it tends to be for this single-asset ETF offering. They hold VanEck Bitcoin ETF ( HODL ) as their more straightforward exposure to Bitcoin; however, it can get a bit more complicated with the options positioning. This is because they go long and short Bitcoin call options as well as short puts. Overall, the fund holds the highest allocation to U.S. Treasury Bills.

Because the Fund’s exposure to the Bitcoin Futures ETF is obtained via options instead of owning the reference asset, the Fund’s exposure is considered to be “synthetic.” The synthetic exposure is created through the combination of purchasing call options and selling put options generally at the same strike price with the same expiration. This combination synthetically creates the upside and downside participation in the price returns of the Bitcoin Futures ETF. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to increases in value experienced by the Bitcoin Futures ETF through the purchase of call options. As a buyer of these options, the Fund pays a premium to the seller of the options. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to decreases in value experienced by the Bitcoin Futures ETF through the sale of put options. As the seller of these options, the Fund receives a premium from the buyer of the options. In combination, the purchased call and sold put options generally provide exposure to price returns of the Bitcoin Futures ETF both on the upside and downside. Performance And Distribution The fund offers an extremely high distribution rate of ~30% so far. As long as Bitcoin can continue to have a strong run, this fund could actually achieve that type of return. As we can see, the fund has delivered market-beating returns against both equities and fixed income—this is by a huge margin too. The market price was $50 at launch and is now closer to $60, indicating that there has been some appreciation on top of the high distribution rate. YCharts However, I believe there is considerable risk in investing in Bitcoin as it can be quite a volatile asset. In fact, that's generally why the distribution rate can be so high, as the volatility increases, the option premiums are brought in. For example, the fund utilizes writing options (and goes long) with the CBOE Mini Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index, which has an implied volatility of around 35% on the $250 call. CBOE Mini Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index (Fidelity) For some context, the implied volatility for the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF ( SPY ) for the first call strike below the current trading price is at ~17%. By writing those calls, the fund generates the cash flow provided by collecting the premiums and distributing them through a monthly distribution. Given the high allocation to U.S. Treasury Bills, that's also generating some interest payments within the fund. BTCI Distribution History (Seeking Alpha) Basically, that is where the 30-day SEC Yield of 2.10% is coming in while the fund's distribution rate is listed at 30.25% currently on the fund's website. BTCI Distribution and Expenses (NEOS) However, there is some downside to the fund utilizing options writing to generate the cash for the distribution. It comes with the risk that all call writing funds have to contend with, and that is the upside cap when an underlying investment is running sharply higher. This cap can get hit, and it can mean that the fund can limit its upside. In fact, the fund's latest semi-annual report for an abbreviated period showed that the fund saw realized losses from the written option contracts. BTCI Semi-Annual Report (NEOS) That's where you can see that BTCI has actually underperformed its ETF holding, HODL, by quite a meaningful margin. YCharts However, there can be some potential downside protection with a call writing strategy. It isn't much, but the premiums received offset declines in the underlying instruments that BTCI is long as well. In a flat market, BTCI would also be considered outperforming, as even if the underlying is moving sideways, those premiums can still be collected for some gains. One fund I hold that is in the Bitcoin space, while also paying a monthly distribution, is ProShares Bitcoin ETF ( BITO ). The fund has outperformed BTCI during this period since the ETF's inception. YCharts However, the fund invests in futures and swaps for its Bitcoin exposure. It also doesn't utilize an options writing strategy, but the distributions come from the gains (and interest payments from the underlying Treasury holdings) produced on those derivatives. If those gains stopped, the distribution would fall dramatically—closer to the yield on Treasury Bills minus the 0.95% expense ratio. That's why you'll see the distribution history looks like this: BITO Distribution History (Seeking Alpha) As a more income-focused investor, I definitely prefer BITO and BTCI compared to holding a Bitcoin ETF or holding Bitcoin itself. I'm aware of not participating as much in the overall total returns. However, I find peace of mind, and that it is beneficial to have these gains/income distributed out monthly. If there is a collapse in Bitcoin, then I know some gains will be locked in or losses limited. Conclusion BTCI is a risky strategy as Bitcoin is considered quite volatile. At the same time, it has performed extremely well, and that has meant a lot of investor interest is being driven in that direction. BTCI provides exposure to Bitcoin either through ETFs or synthetically with options; it then applies an options writing strategy over the portfolio, which provides a significant monthly distribution to investors. High distributions tend to gain a lot of investor interest, so it might not be too surprising to see how fast this ETF is seeing inflows. However, I would reiterate that it does not appear to be appropriate for more risk-averse investors. The fund has experienced significant appreciation thanks to strong gains from Bitcoin, but such strong gains will not be guaranteed going forward. April of this year provided a good example of how far Bitcoin and this ETF can fall quite rapidly.

The color green means something different to Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) . While the broader market coughed up a 2.7% loss in the last 24 hours, the frog went ballistic again – pumping 10.1% and extending a win streak that’s starting to feel like muscle memory. In the past week alone, WEPE has pushed over $2.4 million in DEX volume – wild numbers for a sub-$10 million market cap coin that launched without a VC sugar daddy or influencer handouts. To put it in degenerate context, that’s nearly six times Jordan Belfort’s infamous $420,000 ‘business expense’ in a single month – and WEPE didn’t need expensive champagne or sides to pull it off. Just a clean chart, community conviction, and the kind of liquidity whales pretend not to notice until it’s already 5x. But what’s been fueling even more attention lately is the NFT collection the team’s been teasing across socials, plus the ongoing success of its private trading group, Alpha Chat. It all shows one thing: the spirit behind this project isn’t fading – it’s gaining fire. And the fight against the whales? It’s only getting louder. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/wall-street-pepe The Market Wobbled, but WEPE’s NFT Army Tightened Its Tie and Hit Mint Mode Before market uncertainty crept in – thanks to tariff man POTUS Donald Trump jumping back into the headlines – WEPE had already stacked a 370% gain in just one month. Even with the slight pullback that followed, the token is still up over 102% in the past two weeks, holding firm while most of the market trips over itself. A big part of that? The 5,000-piece NFT collection the team’s been teasing, with 1,000 free mints reserved for holders that it announced on Sunday. NFT drop for the fam. pic.twitter.com/eMtq8A3aLO — Wall Street Pepe (@WEPEToken) July 6, 2025 The drop’s already heating up through the QuestN campaign, where users grind out tasks to lock in their spot. https://app.questn.com/Wepe In short, Wall Street Pepe is bringing NFTs back in style – and the suited frog is pitching them smoother than Aerotyne International ever sounded. But this time, it’s not some boiler room scam. The collection is for the community, and it’s set to strengthen the army behind one of the grittiest meme coins in the game – one chest-thumping NFT at a time. And that army is not just watching from the sidelines. Inside WEPE’s Alpha Chat, members have landed gains between 500% to 1,000% – turning signals into action and fueling the kind of belief that keeps charts moving and buyers coming back. Something Bigger May Be Brewing But here’s another signal for the community: those watching closely have picked up on what might be next. A brand-new website is now in the works – likely a move to match the energy and growth the project’s been seeing. A sharper front-end signals a sharper phase, and WEPE’s not in the habit of doing things halfway. New site loading. New era brewing.

Nothing official yet, but anyone who’s been following this frog knows it doesn’t dream small. With a track record of shipping, rallying, and keeping retail in profit, the idea of new goals on the horizon is already stirring speculation. And if those updates hit like the last ones? This won’t just be another leg up – it could be the kind of shift that sends a meme coin from cult classic to serious contender – so watch out DOGE! Because this isn’t some washed-up penny stock pitch. It’s WEPE – and the frogs aren’t leaving. Are you paying attention? The whales keep stacking. The institutions want to take your Bitcoin.

Bitcoin surged to $109,343 on July 9, up 0.8% over the prior 24 hours, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. In a Truth Social post at 10:00 a.m. ET, Trump declared that the U.S. federal funds rate is “at least 3 points too high,” referring to a 300 basis point (3%) cut. He argued that delaying such a move imposes an annual burden of $360 billion on refinancing costs. Within 30 minutes, BTC began rising steadily as traders appeared to price in the short-term implications of such a dramatic policy shift, including the potential for renewed liquidity and risk-on sentiment. In a comprehensive thread on X , macro analysts at The Kobeissi Letter provided a detailed breakdown of Trump’s claim. According to their analysis, total U.S. interest payments have already reached $1.2 trillion over the past 12 months—equivalent to $3.3 billion per day. They noted that while Trump’s math assumes $360 billion in savings per percentage point across $36 trillion in national debt, only about $29 trillion is held publicly and would be affected by rate changes. Under more realistic assumptions, they estimate that a full 300 bps cut applied gradually could reduce interest expense by roughly $174 billion in the first year, potentially totaling $2.5 trillion over five years if 20% of the debt is refinanced annually. Despite these potential savings, the report warned that the broader economic consequences of a 3% cut would be historic. No single Fed rate cut in modern history has exceeded 100 basis points — even during the 2008 crisis or the March 2020 emergency move. Implementing a 300 bps reduction outside of a recession, in an economy growing at 3.8% annually, would be unprecedented. The Kobeissi Letter cautioned that such a move would likely reignite inflation above 5%, trigger a steep drop in the U.S. dollar — potentially exceeding 10% — and cause housing prices to surge due to a sharp decline in mortgage rates. Asset markets would likely rally in the short term, with gold forecasted to hit $5,000, oil above $80 per barrel, and the S&P 500 breaching 7,000. However, they emphasized that the long-term consequences would be destabilizing without major reductions in U.S. government spending. For Bitcoin, the implications are clear: a sudden drop in interest rates would be viewed as monetary stimulus, likely accelerating capital inflows into hard assets and alternative stores of value like BTC. While analysts continue to debate the likelihood of such cuts, the market's immediate reaction suggests investors are positioning for upside risk. Technical Analysis Highlights The BTC price moved sharply within 30 minutes of Trump’s Truth Social post at 10:00 a.m. ET. Consolidation persisted earlier in the day, but buying volume increased significantly after Trump’s rate comments. Price tested resistance near $109,761, with higher lows forming above $108,500, indicating bullish structure. Bollinger Bands compressed to their tightest levels in this cycle, historically a signal of pending breakout. Institutional accumulation remains visible via volume clusters near support zones around $108,500–$108,600.
