The Bitcoin price is approaching the top of its bull flag once again. Will there be a definitive breakout? If the breakout is weak, or if it fails to happen, could this be the beginning of the end for this current bull market cycle? A changing Bitcoin cycle? If Bitcoin is to make this current bull market cycle one of the more successful ones, the price is going to need to break out soon. On the other hand, some analysts believe that the typical 4-year cycle is changing, and that the sheer amount of institutional money entering the Bitcoin space will push the end of the cycle out to Q1 or Q2 of 2026. If this is going to be the case, the Bitcoin price would have plenty of time for more consolidation before heading into the final phase. However, if we are still in the 4-year cycle, the clock is starting to run down, with only three or four months left before a potential blow-off top at some time in November perhaps? A huge turnaround in the U.S. stock market Source: TradingView On the macro side of things there are positives for Bitcoin. Recent huge trade deals have been agreed with Japan and the EU, which have led to renewed optimism in the U.S. stock market. The chart above of the S&P 500 shows the most incredible turn around from the depths of pessimism over the Trump tariffs, to the record-breaking surge that is currently being experienced. It’s in this kind of environment that Bitcoin can generally be expected to surge. Therefore, it is possibly just a matter of time before Bitcoin embarks on another strong rally to the upside. Shallow rejection for $BTC? Source: TradingView The short-term price chart for $BTC reveals that the price was rejected at the top of the bull flag once again. However, the correctional impulse has so far been rather shallow, only descending as far as the important $118,000 horizontal support. From there, the price has bounced back and is once more flirting with the upper trendline of the bull flag. Will there be a breakout from here? It is entirely possible. All shorter term Stochastic RSI indicators have a way to go before reaching their tops, so momentum is still with the $BTC price. Flag or ascending triangle? Source: TradingView As one zooms further out into the daily time frame, the bull flag becomes less reliable as a pattern, with candle wicks rather than candle bodies unsatisfactorily forming some of the touch points. Therefore, there is the possibility of other patterns becoming valid. The chart above shows an ascending triangle pattern, which keeps the touch points to the candle bodies. If this is a valid pattern, it would be a very bullish one. The Stochastic RSI at the bottom of the chart has the indicators now angled back to the upside. This would also tend to suggest that positive price action is likely to follow. Probabilities of more upside price action Source: TradingView The weekly time frame illustrates that whatever the candle pattern is, it does have the sideways movement of a continuation formation. Also, given that this pattern is smaller than previous ones, it is far more likely to break out sooner. Moving down the chart, the Stochastic RSI on this time frame has the indicator lines shaping to cross back down, while at the bottom of the chart, the RSI indicator line may have a bullish bounce from the ascending yellow moving average line. Predicting price movements is a very uncertain art. All the price action and indicators can do is to give hints on probabilities of future price direction. Fundamentally, it does look as though the direction for Bitcoin should be up, but technically this is still uncertain. That said, the probabilities of more upward price action are more likely than to the downside. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Joe Lubin, one of the founders of Ethereum, announced that SharpLink Gaming, which he leads, aims to accumulate Ethereum (ETH) as quickly as possible. SharpLink's Joe Lubin: “We Will Be the Fastest to Collect Ethereum” With this aggressive strategy, the company aims to get ahead of its competitors in the race for institutional Ethereum treasury. Lubin said in an interview: “In terms of fully diluted Ethereum per share accumulation, we will be the fastest progressing among Ethereum-focused projects, and even Bitcoin-focused ones if we include them.” SharpLink Gaming is growing its Ethereum reserves by raising capital daily through at-the-market financing methods. The company also invests its existing ETH holdings through staking, aiming to multiply its position by reinvesting these returns. Joe Lubin is also known as the CEO of Ethereum infrastructure company ConsenSys and one of the eight founding members of Ethereum. SharpLink currently sits in second place with 360,800 ETH (approximately $1.35 billion). Tom Lee's BitMine Immersion Technologies holds the top spot, which holds 566,800 ETH (approximately $2.13 billion). Other names in the top five for ETH holdings include the Ethereum Foundation, The Ether Machine, and PulseChain. Larger players like Coinbase, Bit Digital, and the Golem Foundation also hold over 100,000 ETH. The race to accumulate ETH is believed to be putting upward pressure on Ethereum's price. Behind assets like Bitcoin and Solana, ETH has surged 110% to $3,800 in the last three months. Most of its competitors have had to settle for double-digit gains during the same period. Crypto security analyst Wilson Ye stated the following in a post on social media platform X: “What we're seeing is institutional-scale FOMO (fear of missing out). Large players are racing to gain dominant positions ahead of ETF approvals. This competition validates the thesis that ETH is becoming institutional infrastructure.” SharpLink states that it will adopt a cautious approach to leverage. The company currently has no debt, but is reportedly evaluating new financing options such as issuing convertible bonds. This was a strategy MicroStrategy frequently used in its Bitcoin holdings. Joe Lubin added the following on the subject: “Whatever we do, we will carefully manage risk levels. We will always keep leverage under control.” Lubin stated that this cautious approach will provide significant benefits to shareholders in the long run. SharpLink’s aggressive but controlled Ethereum strategy consolidates ETH’s position in the corporate world, while also signaling the start of a new accumulation race in the market. *This is not investment advice.

Everyone’s talking about Hyperliquid, the perps protocol that’s dominating onchain futures. They’re also talking about HYPE, the native token whose rise has been in lockstep with that of Hyperliquid and which has just been listed by Transak . The leading web3 payments provider is picky about the assets it elects to integrate into its fiat-to-crypto onramp, and thus the addition of HYPE is both an endorsement of the Hyperliquid ecosystem and a testament to the token’s popularity. If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on HYPE for a while now, Transak’s integration offers arguably the fastest and simplest route to loading up on the Hyperliquid token. This short guide provides everything you need to know about acquiring HYPE through Transak and then putting it to use on Hyperliquid – or simply holding it tightly in your wallet while the market does its thing. Buying HYPE With Transak While much of Transak’s business is B2B, if you’re a regular crypto user, there’s a good chance you’ve already used its onramp, since it’s integrated into a host of centralized and decentralized services. From Uniswap to Binance and Ledger to MetaMask, Transak’s web3 gateway is integrated industry-wide and supports more than 130 cryptos and is available in 64 countries. But you can also buy and sell crypto directly using Transak’s website : just click the “Buy crypto” button at the top of the page and select “Buy as individual” which will take you to this page. Your preferred fiat currency should be displayed by default, but if it’s not, use the dropdown menu to make your selection and enter the amount you wish to spend. Then, in the crypto menu – which displays ETH by default – click to open and type in “HYPE.” This will produce two options, enabling you to buy HYPE on Hyperliquid or HyperEVM. So what’s the difference? In short, HyperEVM is the network and Hyperliquid the perps protocol. HYPE serves as the gas token on HyperEVM, and is integrated into the various dapps and DEXs that operate there. If your plan is to explore the HYPE ecosystem of projects, start here. Alternatively, if you intend to use HYPE on Hyperliquid to trade perps, select this option. If you’re unsure at this point in time, don’t sweat it; HYPE can easily be bridged between Hyperliquid and HyperEVM and vice-versa using native bridging services. After making your selection, you’ll be prompted to enter the Hyperliquid or HyperEVM wallet address you wish to have the funds sent to. The HYPE ecosystem is supported by a range of leading non-custodial wallets including Trust Wallet and Leap Wallet, so choose whichever one you’re most comfortable with. The final step to make your first HYPE purchase through Transak is to enter your email address and click the link that’s sent to you. This will enable you to complete verification and then select the fiat payment method, such as debit card, that you wish to use. Because Transak also supports crypto-to-fiat conversion, you can reverse the process when you wish to sell your HYPE, with funds being credited to your chosen payment destination. If you’re looking to buy HYPE and aren’t already active on a centralized exchange that supports the asset, Transak’s onramp provides a fast and secure way to get hold of the token that everyone’s talking about.

Representative Tom Emmer, a key advocate for financial privacy in the U.S., reaffirmed his commitment to halting the development of a CBDC unless it adheres to strict principles of openness, permissionlessness, and privacy. Emmer noted the progress of his Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act , which aims to sharply curtail the Federal Reserve’s authority to issue a digital dollar. Introduced in the House in March, Emmer’s bill was one of three pieces of crypto-focused legislation passed in July during the Republicans’ “crypto week.” However, it saw the least Democratic support among the trio, which also included the GENIUS Act targeting payment stablecoins and the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act focused on digital asset regulation. CBDC Must Emulate Cash, Says Emmer Speaking about the Federal Reserve’s role, Emmer clarified that while the government can research and explore a digital dollar, the CBDC must function like physical cash—without surveillance features or centralized control. “If [the Fed] could emulate cash, then the law is going to afford them that ability, but right now, they can’t,” he said. The bill proposes amending the Federal Reserve Act to block federal institutions from issuing any digital asset that closely resembles a CBDC unless it conforms to stringent criteria. This includes ensuring any digital dollar remains private, does not require permission to use, and allows open participation—hallmarks of traditional currency but often difficult to achieve in digital systems. Of the three bills passed by the House on July 18, only the GENIUS Act has so far been signed into law by President Trump , having already cleared the Senate. The remaining two, including Emmer’s CBDC bill and the CLARITY Act, await further discussion when the Senate reconvenes after its August recess. Senate to Prioritize Market Structure Bill in September Looking ahead, Republican lawmakers are signaling that the Senate’s primary focus will be the CLARITY Act , aiming to finalize its passage before October. Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, who chairs the digital assets subcommittee, has been vocal about keeping the Senate in session through August to work on critical nominations, including Brian Quintenz for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission chair. A spokesperson confirmed that Lummis remains committed to advancing President Trump’s agenda, potentially using the extended session to prepare for deeper work on crypto legislation. As of now, the Senate remains scheduled to go on recess starting August 3. The post Emmer’s Anti-CBDC Bill Seeks to Limit Fed’s Digital Currency Power appeared first on TheCoinrise.com .
Conventional banks, not only in the USA but also in the UAE, have started to embrace the crypto era. Today, UAE-based RAKBANK launched its crypto brokerage service via its mobile app for retail customers, thus enabling crypto trading for its customers. As a start, the service will be offered by invitation only and then rolled out to more customers. RAKBANK is using infrastructure from BitPanda, a UAE-regulated crypto exchange. BitPanda is integrated within RAKBANK’s mobile banking application, allowing customers to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies. Crypto transactions are executed in AED Bitpanda owns and operates the platform, while RAKBANK offers access using its mobile app and accounts. RAKBANK notes in the press release that all transactions will occur in AED currency, so there will be no foreign currency transfer fees or forex losses. The bank emphasizes that its customers will no longer need to move money in and out of a crypto exchange, because all transactions will be directly executed from the customer’s current or savings account. Raheel Ahmed, Group CEO of RAKBANK, noted that the bank will be the first conventional bank in the UAE to enable simple, secure, and regulated access to a world-class digital assets platform. He states, “We believe our customers deserve a more efficient and seamless crypto buying, selling, and swapping journey that is fully regulated and entirely in AED.” Deputy CEO of BitPanda, Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, viewed the partnership as a big moment for digital assets in the MENA region. He explained, “We’re showing how crypto can be offered in a safe, regulated, and simple way, directly from a major conventional bank that customers already trust.” He adds, “This is exactly how the future of finance should look: simple, compliant, and built to meet real user needs.” Are banks taking over the crypto scene? In the UAE, several banks have entered the crypto space, including Mbank, Zand Bank, Liv bank by Emirates NBD, and even FAB bank by integrating their offerings with crypto exchanges , but not in the seamless way that RAKBANK has today. It’s a new movement whereby banks are entering the crypto space with arms wide open, especially after the Genesis Act was passed in the United States. Just last week, PNC Bank announced that it had partnered with Coinbase to expand access to trusted, secure, and innovative digital asset solutions, offering them a crypto-as-a-service platform. The partnership aims to develop an initial offering that will allow clients to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies.

If you’re still hunting for the top summer altcoins that everyone will be talking about before July ends, you’re probably sleeping on one. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Cardano (ADA) are the most talked of 2025. Mutuum Finance is selling at $0.035 in phase 6 of its presale. The next phase will see price climb 14.29% to $0.04. Investors joining today are guaranteed a 71.43% ROI when the project launches at $0.06. Mutuum Finance has raised over $13.7 million and attracted more than $14,500 investors. It’s been quietly gaining traction in DeFi circles, with early believers calling it the dark horse that might just flip the script this cycle. Alongside Cardano (ADA), a mainstay for long-term holders, MUTM is shaping up to be a token you’ll wish you didn’t ignore. Cardano (ADA) Navigates Mid‑$0.80s After July Rally Cardano is currently trading around $0.83, buoyed by a roughly 37% rally in July as ADA briefly tested resistance near $0.90 before pulling back into the mid‑$0.80 range. Price action shows signs of correction, ADA has broken below its rising channel support around $0.83 and is now probing demand levels between $0.75 and $0.78. Technical indicators remain mixed: while bullish targets between $0.88 and $1.00+ remain in play if momentum returns, failure to stabilize near current levels could open the door to deeper pullbacks toward the mid‑$0.70 zone. All of this unfolds as attention also turns to emerging DeFi initiatives such as Mutuum Finance. Mutuum Finance Sees Momentum Build as Phase 6 Launches Mutuum Finance is making tremendous strides in presale, selling out the 5th phase earlier than expected. The project is now in phase 6 priced at $0.035. Mutuum Finance is dominating the DeFi market by creating a scalable financial system with real-world applications.

The bounty program aim is to have a proper coverage of all the classes of vulnerability; it is divided into the four severity classes; i.e., critical, major, minor, and low. The project also demonstrates the team’s commitment to ecosystem’s security and investors’ trust. Next-Gen Dual-Lending Solutions Mutuum Finance is an innovative platform where individuals maintain control over their assets. The platform relies on a double-lending mechanism to provide flexibility as well as efficiency that encompass Peer-to-Contract and Peer-to-Peer models. Peer-to-Contract employs self-executing smart contracts that carry out the lending process without human intervention. They are programmed to function based on changing market prices with a floating rate of interest based on the then-prevailing supply and demand of an in-real-time interest. Peer-to-Peer model eliminates intermediaries and provides an opportunity to be in direct contact with lenders and borrowers. It is more common with meme coins like Pepe Coin as it allows for customized terms of a loan and flexibility based on the wish of a user and his or her risk-tolerance level. $100,000 Token Giveaway Mutuum Finance has also organized a $100,000 giveaway . 10 of the participants will be rewarded with $10,000 worth of MUTM tokens. The giveaway signifies the project’s commitment to building a loyal and long-term following. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Cardano (ADA) are shaping up as 2025’s standout altcoins.
