Crypto Price Analysis 8-4: BITCOIN: BTC, ETHEREUM: ETH, SOLANA: SOL, UNISWAP: UNI, ONDO FINANCE: ONDO

The crypto market has started the week positively, with Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies trading in the green. BTC fell below $114,000 on Sunday as bearish sentiment intensified over the weekend. However, it rebounded to reclaim $114,000 and reach an intraday high of $114,886 early in today’s session before registering a marginal decline and moving to its current level of $114,238. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) rebounded to reclaim $3,500 and move to $3,526, up over 2%. Ripple (XRP) is up almost 5%, trading around $2.97 as it looks to reclaim the $3 mark. Solana (SOL) is up nearly 1%, trading around $162, while Dogecoin (DOGE) is up over 2%, trading around $0.199. Cardano (ADA) is also trading in positive territory, up 2.52% at $0.732. Stellar (XLM) , Chainlink (LINK) , Hedera (HBAR) , Litecoin (LTC) , and Polkadot (DOT) also registered notable increases. However, Toncoin (TON) traded in the red, down almost 2%. CitiGroup, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs Lead Blockchain Pivot Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Japan’s SBI Group have been at the forefront of traditional finance’s (TradFi) blockchain push. According to a report by Ripple and CB Insights, traditional financial institutions (TradFi) behemoths have backed several blockchain startups, thereby expanding their footprint in the ecosystem. The report states that global banks made over 345 investments in blockchain companies, with several in early-stage funding rounds. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs led with 18 deals each, while JPMorgan and Mitsubishi UFJ made 15 investments each. The report also focused on mega deals worth over $100 million. Banks contributed to 33 “mega deals” in a four-year window, pumping capital into firms focused on trading infrastructure, tokenization, custody, and payment solutions. Examples include CloudWalk, which raised over $750 million across two rounds backed by Banco Itau and others. Solaris, a German company, also secured over $100 million in a funding round led by the SBI Group. Arkham Intelligence Claims To Have Uncovered Crypto’s Biggest Heist Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has retroactively uncovered the biggest heist in crypto history. According to the intelligence platform, a $3.5 billion hack of a Chinese Bitcoin mining pool was discovered dating back to 2020. According to Arkham, LuBian, a Chinese mining pool operator, was hacked on December 8, 2020, with hackers draining 127,426 BTC, worth around $14.5 billion at current market prices. However, Lubian was able to save around 11,886 BTC by moving them to new addresses. Arkham believes the attack occurred through a brute-force attack to access the private keys. GENIUS Act Vague On Foreign Rules The GENIUS Act is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for US-issued stablecoins, with proponents arguing that it enhances trust, drives mainstream adoption, and bolsters the dollar’s position as the global reserve currency. The GENIUS Act could also benefit developing economies, attract institutional interest, and reinvigorate the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. However, critics have highlighted several concerns. These include the regulation of foreign issuers, doubts about the ban on yield-bearing stablecoins, and the potential dominance of corporate and traditional finance players. Christian Catalini, founder of the MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, stated, “Banks, fintechs, and even large retailers — essentially anyone with significant consumer or institutional distribution — will all be considering issuing their own stablecoin.” According to the Atlantic Council, the GENIUS Act has a major weakness called the Tether Loophole. The US-based think tank argued that the US stablecoin law failed to adequately regulate offshore stablecoin issuers. The act imposes strict rules on reserves, financial disclosures, and sanctions compliance, putting local issuers at a significant competitive disadvantage, potentially encouraging them to incorporate their operations in less demanding offshore jurisdictions. Timothy Massad, research fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and former chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, bluntly stated, “The foreign issuer loophole was not sufficiently fixed.” The GENIUS Act requires foreign stablecoin issuers to meet standards “comparable” to those of US-based stablecoin issuers. However, it fails to define what qualifies as “comparable.” Christopher Perkins, President of CoinFund, stated that regulated US stablecoins give users the confidence that their holdings are fully backed, clearing the way for more issuers to set up shop in the US. “I think many investors will choose the onshore regulated version of stablecoins because of the incremental confidence they deliver.” Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) has started the week in positive territory after reversing its losses on Sunday to end the weekend above $114,000. The flagship cryptocurrency faced substantial selling pressure last week. Selling pressure intensified as the week drew to a close, with the price dropping almost 2% on Thursday. Sellers retained control on Friday as BTC fell over 2%, dropping to a low of $112,792. The price continued declining on Saturday, dropping almost 1% before rebounding on Sunday. According to on-chain data, BTC’s decline over the weekend saw hodlers across the board sell their assets as the flagship cryptocurrency dipped below $112,000. According to data from analytics platform CryptoQuant, new investors and Bitcoin whales were sending their BTC to exchanges as prices fell. According to the platform, short-term holders (STHs) sent 40,000 BTC to exchanges on August 1. This was the largest figure sent to exchanges since July 15. Exchange activity also registered a substantial jump on August 1, as net inflows hit 16,417 BTC. A CryptoQuant “Quicktake” post noted, “Conversely, the Exchange Whale Ratio indicator rose to levels exceeding 0.70, meaning that most of these deposits were from whales. When large deposits coincide with whales dominating these deposits, the market typically enters a phase of selling pressure and rapid decline. If whales continue to deposit Bitcoin to exchanges at the same pace, further pressure on the Bitcoin price is expected.” Monthly average BTC inflows have increased gradually, with daily inflows rising from around 5,500 BTC to 7,000 BTC. CryptoQuant contributor Darkfrost stated, “Since early July, the monthly average of BTC inflows to Binance has been steadily rising again. Daily inflows have increased from around 5,300 BTC to 7,000 BTC today, marking a consistent rise over the past month. While this rise isn’t particularly sharp yet, it ends a prolonged downtrend, which had been in place since March, suggesting a shift in investor behavior.” Market experts called BTC’s weekend price action unusual, highlighting that weekends are illiquid and have wider spreads. “Very sizeable quoting like this on a weekend spells out that a very large player needed to bail out of risk before Sunday, next week. Not your average weekend price action. Since weekends are often more illiquid and have wider spreads, this means a desk would have to quote sufficient liquidity to facilitate a large client selling off that risk without causing the market to slip.” BTC registered a sharp decline on Friday (July 25), plunging to an intraday low of $114,779 as it started the previous weekend in the red. The price rebounded from this level to reclaim $117,000, settling at $117,565, ultimately registering a 0.69% drop. The price recovered over the weekend, rising 0.24% on Saturday and 1.31% on Sunday to reclaim $119,000 and settle at $119,398. BTC was back in the red on Monday, dropping 1.11% to $118,069. The price registered a marginal drop on Tuesday before falling to a low of 115,772 on Wednesday.

Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis Ethereum (ETH) rebounded sharply on Sunday, reclaiming $3,500 after facing substantial selling pressure last week. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency plunged almost 6% on Friday, slipping below $3,500 to $3,488. Selling pressure persisted as the price dropped 2.72% on Saturday to settle at $3,393. However, markets began showing signs of recovery on Sunday and ETH successfully reclaimed key levels to settle at $3,500. Despite last week’s decline, ETH has continued attracting institutional interest. SharpLink Gaming continued its aggressive Ethereum acquisition strategy, completing the purchase of 15,822 ETH worth over $53 million. Data from Lookonchain shows that SharpLink spent $108 million over the preceding two days, completing the acquisition of 30,755 ETH at an average price of $3,530 per coin. SharpLink has modeled its Ethereum acquisition strategy on Strategy’s Bitcoin playbook, using capital markets to build its ETH treasury. The firm has completed several funding rounds, including a $425 million private placement in May and $413 million through a share issuance in July. Competition among ETH treasury companies is growing, with SharpLink and Bitmine Immersion Technologies emerging as key players. SharpLink briefly became the largest corporate holder of ETH, surpassing the Ethereum Foundation. However, it was soon overtaken by the Peter Thiel-backed Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which holds 625,000 ETH. ETH started the previous weekend in positive territory, registering a marginal increase on Friday despite facing selling pressure. Price action remained positive over the weekend as ETH rose 0.46% on Saturday and 3.52% on Sunday, crossing $3,800 and settling at $3,875.

Ethena’s USDe Becomes 3rd Largest Stablecoin by Market Cap, $ENA Reacts

Ethena’s synthetic dollar stablecoin , USDe, just climbed into the top three. It now trails only Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). The milestone cements Ethena Labs as a major issuer in the stablecoin space. USDe’s market cap sits at $9.44 billion, per CoinMarketCap’s latest data. This positions it third among all dollar-pegged tokens. By 24-hour trading volume, USDe ranks as the fifth most active stablecoin. CoinMarketCap reports a daily volume of $363 million , underscoring growing interest in on-chain liquidity for the asset. Growth in Q3 2025 has been nothing short of explosive. USDe supply jumped by $4.02 billion this quarter. And there are still 60 days left before the quarter closes. That surge outpaces almost every rival, including USDT and USDC. Ethena now claims its spot alongside legacy giants. What Does the Volume/Market Cap Ratio Tell Us? Volume-to-market-cap ratios offer a peek into how coins are used on chain. Lower ratios often mean holders keep tokens in pockets, chasing yield rather than trading. Comparing ratios: USDC: 22.75 USDS: 18.74 USDT: 7.60 USDe: 6.10 These figures, per RWA.xyz data, show USDe sitting at the bottom. Users seem to lock USDe away for yield or farming, not for swaps and payments. Ethena is experiencing the fastest growth in Q3 2025 It's up $4.02 billion this quarter, and we still have 60 days left in this quarter. Compared to other stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and USDS, Ethena has low transfer volume compared to its market cap. The transfer… pic.twitter.com/RYb2UI7ebP — Heechang (@xparadigms) August 4, 2025 Why This Matters 1. DeFi Yield Magnet. USDe’s synthetic design taps crypto futures basis trades. Users earn sUSDe rewards on top of the dollar peg. 2. Regulatory Momentum. Its rise comes amid clearer U.S. stablecoin rules. That adds confidence for institutions staking large sums. 3. Protocol Credibility . Ethena’s reserves blend futures positions with a small slice of liquid-staking tokens. This hybrid model offers a fresh take versus purely fiat-backed coins. What to Watch Next, $ENA Moves With USDe Movement Yield Curve. As more arbitrageurs join, basis returns could narrow. Watch funding-rate swings. Reserve Health. Liquid staking tokens make up about 5 % of holdings. If those assets depeg, stability could wobble. Token Utility. Will USDe’s low transfer activity climb as it gains adoption? Higher on-chain use would validate beyond yield hunting. Today’s momentum has already rippled back to Ethena’s native token, ENA, which spiked double-digit percentages in response to USDe’s milestone. Resistance Level: $0.6293. This is the primary resistance level where ENA has faced selling pressure. A successful break and close above this level with strong volume could signal a bullish breakout and potential for further upward movement. #Ethena ’s USDe Becomes 3rd Largest Stablecoin by Market Cap! Synthetic dollar stablecoin by @Ethena_Labs $ENA , $USDe supply has surged to ~$9.35B, making it the third-largest stablecoin by market cap, trailing only $USDT and $USDC . By trading volume, USDe now ranks as the fifth… pic.twitter.com/gCQhywI0MS — Crypto Miners (@CryptoMiners_Co) August 4, 2025 Ethena’s ascent in Q3 makes clear one thing: synthetic stablecoins are here to stay. And it’s not just a passing trend. As USDe cements its place, market participants will be watching closely. Will it climb higher? Or will yields and reserve risks clip its wings? The next 60 days of Q3 should offer some answers. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice. Always do your research before buying any cryptocurrency or investing in any services.

XRP History Is Repeating. Here’s What Is Coming

XRP may be on the verge of repeating one of the most remarkable bull runs in crypto history. According to analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO, current price patterns are closely mirroring the setup that led to XRP’s explosive rally in 2017 , when it surged from just $0.006 to over $3, marking a jaw-dropping 50,000% gain. If history is truly repeating, XRP could be gearing up for another powerful breakout. A Technical Déjà Vu In a recent post on X, STEPH IS CRYPTO shared a side-by-side comparison of XRP’s 2017 and 2025 weekly charts. Both reveal an extended consolidation phase within a triangular structure, followed by a breakout above the 50-week moving average (MA50). In 2017, this technical move was the beginning of XRP’s legendary price explosion. Now in 2025, XRP has again broken out of a similar triangle, crossing above the MA50. With the price currently around $2.98, this breakout has caught the attention of traders who remember what followed the last time this pattern appeared. #XRP history is repeating again! pic.twitter.com/6STlU6c9ef — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) August 4, 2025 If the fractal holds, STEPH IS CRYPTO predicts a potential rally toward $12.50 in the coming months. While not as extreme as 2017’s surge, such a move would still represent significant upside. Market Sentiment Strengthens XRP’s recent performance reflects growing momentum across the broader crypto market . Bitcoin continues to trade firmly above $118,000, while altcoins are attracting renewed interest. Over the past week, XRP has gained nearly 8%, and over 22% in the past month. On-chain data shows rising wallet activity and increasing open interest in futures markets, signaling heightened investor engagement. At the same time, Ripple is expanding its global reach. The company’s cross-border payment network continues to grow, and the successful launch of its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, is reinforcing confidence in the XRP Ledger’s real-world utility. These developments have helped support XRP’s upward trend and provided a strong fundamental backdrop for the technical breakout. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Reality Check and Resistance Ahead Despite the excitement, it’s important to approach the market with caution. While the chart patterns are strikingly similar, history doesn’t always repeat perfectly. Key resistance remains near the $3.30–$3.70 range, levels that previously marked XRP’s all-time high. A clean breakout above this zone would be necessary to confirm a new bull cycle. On the downside, a failure to maintain momentum could see XRP retest support levels around $2.40. Additionally, macroeconomic uncertainties, regulatory shifts, or a sharp correction in Bitcoin could impact XRP’s trajectory. The idea that XRP’s history is repeating isn’t just speculative hype; it’s rooted in clear, visible technical signals. As highlighted by STEPH IS CRYPTO, XRP’s breakout from a multi-year triangle pattern and its move above the weekly MA50 closely resemble the early stages of its 2017 rally. If the pattern continues to play out, XRP could be headed for $12.50 or higher. While risks remain, the setup is one of the most compelling the market has seen in years.

As Bitcoin Stabilizes Near $113K After Fed Holds Rates Steady, Crypto Advisors Like NAVMarkets Step In to Guide Companies Through the Policy Shift

Bitcoin is holding near $113,000 after briefly falling below $112,000 early Saturday, following the largest net outflow from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs in six months and a wave of market anxiety over revised U.S. labor data. Despite the dip, sentiment remains constructive as the macro picture settles: the Federal Reserve chose to keep rates steady this week, and a sweeping new U.S. crypto strategy was unveiled, offering regulatory clarity many companies have been waiting for. The largest cryptocurrency hit a low of $111,903 before recovering. At the time of writing, it trades around $113,430. While that’s down from its recent local high near $119,000, Bitcoin still shows year-to-date gains of nearly 25%, comfortably outperforming major U.S. stock indices and retaining strong institutional support. At the July meeting, the Federal Reserve opted to keep its benchmark interest rate steady at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%, where it’s held since December. Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious tone suggested rates could stay elevated longer than markets had hoped, despite rising political pressure for cuts. Notably, two Fed governors, Michelle Bowman and Chris Waller, dissented from the decision, advocating for a 25 basis point cut. It was the first such split since 1993. “The Fed is clearly in wait-and-see mode,” said Joe DiPasquale, CEO of BitBull Capital. “Mentions of tariffs pushing up goods prices show they’re still watching inflation closely. For crypto, that likely means sideways price action until we get a clearer signal on cuts.” Still, crypto investors aren’t waiting on the Fed alone. Analysts say this cycle’s momentum appears more durable than previous rallies, driven less by retail speculation and more by institutional inflows, including record volumes into spot Bitcoin ETFs and a wave of corporate adoption of crypto as a treasury asset. Adding to the macro narrative: On Wednesday, the White House released a 163-page national digital asset strategy – the most comprehensive federal crypto framework to date. The report outlines regulatory objectives for stablecoin oversight, tax policy, and the use of enforcement powers by the SEC and CFTC. It also backs legislative proposals like the Clarity Act, which could standardize how tokens are classified and traded in the U.S. While the document largely reaffirms priorities already voiced by the Trump administration, industry observers welcomed the increased visibility. One White House official called it “the most comprehensive piece of work on digital assets that’s ever been produced.” Importantly, the report urges companies to begin preparing now, even in the absence of new legislation. The message is clear: regulatory clarity is approaching, and those waiting on the sidelines may soon be left behind. Projects looking to attract institutional capital or pursue public listings have started to respond. Many are restructuring their legal entities, auditing token models, and aligning with U.S. market disclosure standards (often behind the scenes). For these teams, compliance isn’t a reaction to enforcement risk but a signal of maturity, a way to build trust with investors before the next wave of capital fully arrives. Experts across global legal and financial circles have begun weighing in on what this moment means for companies operating at the intersection of crypto and capital markets. Among them is Lionel Iruke, a seasoned blockchain and fintech attorney who leads legal and regulatory strategy at NAVmarkets . With deep experience navigating both U.S. securities law and international compliance frameworks, Iruke advises teams preparing for token-to-equity transitions, public listings, and global treasury alignment. “The Fed holding rates steady keeps the macro landscape predictable for now, but the real shift is regulatory,” Iruke said. “Clearer policy signals, especially from the White House, are prompting serious teams to lock in legal frameworks, structure their asset strategies, and prepare for broader market participation across jurisdictions.” At NAVMarkets, Iruke leads legal and regulatory strategy for both crypto-native and traditional companies seeking to align their asset models with capital market requirements, often as part of a broader transition toward public-market readiness or strategic crypto integration. NAVMarkets Helps Both Sides of the Market Prepare for Real Adoption NAVMarkets guides both Web2 and Web3 companies through the tricky parts of crypto, like regulation, fundraising, and going public, so they can focus on growth. With U.S. crypto policy starting to take shape and the Federal Reserve signaling steady interest rates, companies on both sides of the aisle are rethinking how they approach structure, compliance, and capital strategy. For traditional businesses, many of which are exploring blockchain integration for the first time, NAV helps build the legal and financial foundations to enter crypto markets responsibly. That could mean launching a tokenized product, onboarding Bitcoin as part of a treasury strategy, or creating a compliant blockchain subsidiary without exposing the core business. The focus is on long-term flexibility and regulatory alignment, especially as global scrutiny of digital assets increases. NAV also works with crypto-native teams looking to mature their operations and access traditional capital markets. Their support ranges from corporate restructuring to public listings via reverse mergers, SPACs, or uplistings, often through dual-asset structures that combine a company’s token ecosystem with a traditional equity layer. This hybrid approach can make regulators and institutional investors more comfortable, particularly when combined with clear governance and disclosure practices. Bitcoin treasury strategies have also become part of NAV’s playbook, especially as more companies look for ways to hedge inflation and align with investor expectations. With corporate Bitcoin allocations hitting record highs this year, there’s growing interest in doing it the right way – from custody and legal structuring to audit-ready reporting across jurisdictions. Market Outlook The next few months could prove decisive for crypto’s long-term relationship with traditional finance. With the Fed holding rates steady and regulatory guidance beginning to take shape, investors and operators alike are preparing for a market where compliance and clarity matter more than ever. Bitcoin’s dip below $112,000 may have rattled some short-term traders, but many see it as a natural correction after a strong multi-month rally. As spot ETFs continue to evolve and global regulation firms up, the long-term case for Bitcoin as both a treasury asset and capital markets gateway remains intact. While macro headlines may continue to swing sentiment in the short term, the deeper shift is structural: crypto is slowly being absorbed into the frameworks of public markets, regulated funds, and institutional portfolios. This means companies, whether they started in Web2 or Web3, need a way to participate without getting caught offside. “We’re entering a phase where strong legal footing and real-world alignment matter just as much as tech innovation,” said Lionel. “The companies that prepare early, on both the crypto and traditional side, will have more options when the next wave of capital hits.” As policy frameworks continue to solidify and investor expectations rise, firms that took the time to build real infrastructure may be best positioned – not just to list, but to lead in the next chapter of digital finance.

BitMine Becomes The Largest ETH Treasury Globally With Over 833,000 ETH, Following Recent Accumulation Pattern

BitMine (NYSE: BMNR) flips the script on ETH treasuries. In just 35 days, it piles up 833,000 ETH. At today’s prices, around $3,500 per ETH on CoinMarketCap, it holds $2.9 billion in ETH. That makes BitMine the largest ETH treasury on the planet. Tom Lee leads the charge. He sets a bold goal: own 5% of total ETH supply . He moves fast. Every new tranche of ETH goes straight into staking. That dual play, stack and stake, drives yield. It also fuels growth. Yield compounds back into the treasury. It’s a self-feeding cycle. Heavy hitters back the plan. Bill Miller III steps in. Cathie Wood throws in her lot. Founders Fund joins too. Their capital helps BitMine hit warp speed. In little more than a month, BitMine vaults past every other ETH holder, public or private. 1/ It has been 1-month since BitMine launched ETH Treasury strategy. 2 milestones announced today: – BMNR now owns 833,137 ETH valued at $2.95 billion – Bill Miller III announced he has taken a major stake in BMNR https://t.co/2w77JQkR8J Ticker: $BMNR — Bitmine BMNR (@BitMNR) August 4, 2025 On the stock market, BMNR grabs attention. Daily volume hits $1.6 billion. That ranks #42 out of 5,702 stocks, per Fundstrat research. Only Uber ($UBER) sits just above it. Traders swarm in. High volume boosts liquidity. More players pile in. That trading buzz adds another layer of demand under ETH’s price. Corporate crypto treasuries now total 2.74 million ETH, worth $9.72 billion. Sixty-three entities hold 2.27% of total ETH supply. That equals 47% of all ETH in ETFs. BitMine leads this pack with its 833,000 ETH ($2.9 billion). Only two companies hold more crypto overall: MicroStrategy ($MSTR) and Marathon Digital ($MARA). BitMine locks in third place on the all-crypto leaderboard, and first in ETH. Why move at such speed? Tom Lee sees ETH as both a store of value and a yield engine. He treats ETH like cash flow. He stakes every unit immediately. Rewards roll in daily. Those rewards buy more ETH. It’s capital recycling at scale. BitMine Goes To Market, With More Ethereum ETH Buys The market feels it. BitMine’s buys average 24,000 ETH per day. At $3,500 each, that’s about $84 million in fresh demand every 24 hours. Such volume tightens supply. It pushes prices higher. Traders note the on-chain flows. Exchanges report large withdrawals. OTC desks struggle to fill orders fast enough. BitMine’s strategy sends ripples through DeFi. Liquidity pools feel the squeeze. Lending rates adjust. Yield curves shift. Some protocols raise incentives to lure back ETH. Others watch quietly, waiting for a pullback . But BitMine shows no signs of slowing. Total Strategic $ETH Reserve has climbed past 2.74M $ETH ($9.72B). 63 entities now hold 2.27% of supply—equal to 47% of all ETF $ETH . Bitmine tops the list with 833K $ETH ($2.9B). Bullish on $ETH ? pic.twitter.com/S5Pvr6sgiR — COIN360 (@COIN360com) August 4, 2025 For institutions, BMNR offers a slick solution. It bundles ETH exposure into a regulated, publicly traded vehicle. That lowers the hurdle for risk managers. They avoid self-custody headaches. They sidestep staking complexities. They tap yield without building infrastructure. It’s a turnkey entry into ETH’s world. Market watchers weigh in. Coin360 tweets: “BitMine grabs the top spot in ETH treasuries, 833K ETH strong.” BitMine’s own feed posts the milestone with a nod to its backers. The community reacts. Analysts update models. Some boost price targets on ETH. Others revise assumptions on staking yields. What’s next? BitMine eyes 4.4 million ETH, that’s 5% of supply. If it keeps the current pace, it could hit that target in under six months. But markets rarely move in straight lines. Price swings could alter yield rates. Macro events might slow institutional flows. Yet BitMine’s blueprint remains clear: accumulate, stake, repeat. This run reshapes how we view corporate treasuries. It shows that a nimble, focused company can vault to the top of global rankings in record time. It underscores the growing blend of public equities and crypto. It proves that ETH is more than a token. It’s a strategic asset. In short: BitMine goes big. It goes fast. And it goes smart. The hunt for yield meets the art of treasury management. All eyes now watch BitMine as it stakes its claim, one ETH at a time. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

Brian Armstrong Fires Back After UK Bans Coinbase Crypto Ad

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has condemned the UK’s decision to ban the platform’s latest ad, calling it an attempt to silence criticism of a broken financial system. Coinbase, a leading U.S.-based crypto exchange, has come under renewed scrutiny in the UK following the removal of its latest TV advertisement by local broadcasters. The ad, titled “Everything is Fine”, aired on July 31, 2025, and used satire to address economic frustrations across the country.The UK-focused campaign spotlighted a series of mounting economic concerns. These included the soaring cost of living, growing dissatisfaction with the Labour-led government, and the weakening financial infrastructure. It also drew attention to a rising trend of wealthy individuals moving abroad, underscoring broader disillusionment with the country’s economic direction. In this context, the ad framed crypto, particularly Bitcoin, as a practical alternative for those seeking greater financial independence and stability.UK broadcasters, however, saw the messaging as too political and potentially misleading. The ad was promptly banned, sparking reactions from the crypto industry.Regulators Cite Misleading MessagingBroadcasting authorities argued that the campaign’s tone could mislead viewers by presenting crypto as a guaranteed solution. They also noted the ad painted a bleak picture of the UK government, despite not mentioning any political party directly.This isn’t Coinbase’s first brush with UK regulators. In 2021, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned a Coinbase wallet promotion over claims of insufficient clarity. The new ban continues that trend, as watchdogs attempt to balance innovation with consumer protection.CEO Armstrong Defends MessageFollowing the ad ban, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong took to the social platform X to defend the campaign. He said the ad captured concerns that many people already feel about today’s financial systems. Armstrong insisted the message wasn’t political or targeted at any party.He also clarified that similar ads had been aired in the US, underscoring the campaign’s broader relevance. "We ran ads with similar themes in the US," he noted, calling it a global critique of outdated financial systems.Armstrong went on to challenge lingering UK perceptions that label crypto as gambling. He argued that such views ignore crypto’s potential to reform and modernize finance. Censorship, he added, only draws more attention to the need for change.Mixed Reactions From the PublicPublic opinion remains divided. Supporters within the crypto space called the ad bold and truthful. Detractors accused Coinbase of exploiting national struggles for commercial gain.Meanwhile, the ad dropped at a crucial time, just as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifted its ban on retail investment in crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) . The timing, while coincidental, may have worked in Coinbase’s favour, as it drew extra attention to crypto’s growing legitimacy.

BlockDAG’s Ecosystem Explodes in August: $361M Raised, 18K Miners Sold, & a $1 Target in Focus

BlockDAG is entering August with serious momentum. The Layer 1 blockchain project has now raised over $361 million in presale funding, sold 18,000 ASIC miners, and attracted 2.5 million users via its X1 mobile miner app — all while preparing for its GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11. The pace of expansion is extraordinary, and with a target of $600 million in total presale funding, BlockDAG is rapidly approaching territory typically reserved for top-tier projects like Solana and Avalanche. What sets BlockDAG apart is not just funding or user numbers — it’s the pace of infrastructure deployment and the strength of its technology stack. Powered by a hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, BlockDAG combines high-speed transaction processing with decentralized network security, offering a compelling alternative to traditional blockchains reliant on Proof-of-Stake. Infrastructure Live: 18,000 Miners Sold and Trading Tools Active One of the biggest milestones for BlockDAG is the sale of 18,000 ASIC miners , which will secure the network through real Proof-of-Work validation. This gives BlockDAG a serious edge in decentralization, as its miner base will be globally distributed — avoiding the centralization risks commonly associated with PoS validators. Simultaneously, BlockDAG has launched its Demo Trading Platform , where users can buy BDAG coins live at the current $0.0016 price and practice selling in a risk-free demo environment . This tool provides early access to the trading experience ahead of exchange listings later this year, when BDAG will debut at a confirmed $0.05 listing price , marking a potential 3025% ROI for presale buyers. While the trading demo is live now, the real launch moment is the GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11 , when the ecosystem formally transitions toward listing and mainnet activation. The tools are not promises — they are live now, helping to onboard over 200,000 BDAG holders before public trading begins. Strategic Partnerships and Visibility: Inter Milan Joins BlockDAG BlockDAG’s growth isn’t confined to product rollouts. In July, the project announced a major partnership with Inter Milan , one of Europe’s top football clubs. This sponsorship signals BlockDAG’s intent to reach a global mainstream audience , leveraging sports marketing to drive visibility and user acquisition. Combined with the massive reach of the X1 mobile app — already used by 2.5 million+ people worldwide — BlockDAG is building a network effect before even listing its token. The strategy is clear: scale the user base, activate the community, and deploy tools that position BDAG as a real utility token from day one. At the heart of BlockDAG’s value proposition is its hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work model . This architecture enables the network to process 2,000 to 15,000 transactions per second (TPS) , with tests showing up to 10 blocks per second already. Unlike traditional blockchains that struggle with bottlenecks or high fees, BlockDAG’s DAG structure allows parallel transaction processing , ensuring scalability. Meanwhile, the PoW component ensures network security and true decentralization . This approach avoids many of the centralization concerns seen in newer PoS chains, while still achieving speeds comparable to Solana — but without the downtime that has plagued Solana’s network in the past. The technical foundation has drawn interest from over 4,500 developers , with 300+ dApps in progress and a live testnet already supporting contract deployment. Combined with EVM compatibility and a low-code smart contract builder , BlockDAG is inviting both experienced and new developers to participate — an ecosystem designed to scale. With BlockDAG’s current price at $0.0016 and listing price set at $0.05 , many are now speculating on long-term valuations. Given the infrastructure, user base, and aggressive exchange strategy ( 20+ confirmed listings ), some analysts see $1 BDAG as a realistic mid-term target. This would represent over 60x returns from the listing price — but with the presale entry point, early buyers could see 625x ROI if BDAG reaches $1. These projections are speculative, but they reflect growing confidence as BlockDAG continues to deliver. 10 BTC Auction Adds Urgency Adding to the momentum, BlockDAG is running a 10 BTC Auction Pool until August 11. Every BDAG purchase during the final presale phase qualifies for the auction, with larger purchases earning a bigger share . This promotion is driving significant volume and encouraging large-scale participation — a strategic move as the project nears its $600M presale goal. BlockDAG isn’t just preparing for launch — it’s already operating. With live tools, a massive user base, global partnerships, and technical innovation, the project is setting a new standard for Layer 1 launches. August is shaping up to be a breakout month, and with the GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11, the clock is ticking. For those watching the evolution of blockchain ecosystems, BlockDAG may be the most important project to watch in 2025 — and the race to $1 has already begun.
