🗓️ Week 28 Recap.
What mattered:
➡️ Crypto market cap jumped from $2.21T to $2.51T. Soft jobs data, rising Bitcoin accumulation, and Ethereum's new roadmap all contributed. Fear & Greed edged up to 23
➡️ The recovery held despite Strategy selling over $250M in BTC and renewed U.S.-Iran aerial strikes
➡️ Spot Bitcoin ETF flows turned positive for a few days — not a trend yet, but a break from weeks of outflows. Selling pressure across BTC holders also dropped sharply
➡️ The yen strengthened and Japanese bond yields pulled back — this partly supported Bitcoin’s recovery
➡️ Vitalik Buterin announced Ethereum's biggest rebuild since the Merge
➡️ U.S. consumer inflation expectations hit their highest level since 2023
➡️ U.S. Core CPI on Tuesday — key for the Fed's next move
➡️ U.S. PPI and crude oil inventory data on Wednesday
➡️ Whether ETF inflows can hold and build on this week's turn
☀️ Good morning. Three things to know today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin continued its slow recovery, approaching $64,000. The move got an extra push as the Japanese yen strengthened and long-dated Japanese government bond yields pulled back. Bitcoin and the yen have developed a strong positive correlation lately, often moving together against the U.S. dollar.
2️⃣ Arbitrum briefly jumped 20% as Robinhood Chain, which is built on Arbitrum's tech stack, saw a rapid surge in trading volume and users, largely driven by a wave of memecoin activity. DEXE, MORPHO, and IOTA also posted strong gains, each up over 8% on the day.
3️⃣ Aave Labs launched Stable Vaults, a new tool aimed at institutions that want to earn stablecoin yield inside their products. Deposits are routed across several DeFi strategies, including Aave V3 and V4 markets, the Savings GHO vault, and custom tokenized vaults.
📣Unpopular opinion:
"Do your own research" is the most repeated and least followed advice in crypto.
Everyone says it. Almost nobody does it.
Most people check the price, read two posts, and call it research.

➡️ Bitcoin briefly touched $58,000 before rebounding close to $62,000. Market cap recovered from $2.13T to $2.20T. Fear & Greed moved from 16 (Extreme Fear) to 23 (Fear). The market is bouncing, not recovering

Tuesday — "Things are moving. Staying calm. Totally fine."
Wednesday — "Why. What. Who approved this candle."
Thursday — "Actually maybe recovering? Cautiously optimistic."
Friday — "I have learned nothing. I regret nothing. See you Monday."

💸 June closed with Bitcoin down 20.48% — the steepest monthly drop since June 2022. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $4.5 billion in outflows, the worst month since launch. Fear & Greed Index: 17.
👀 Watching: "Bitcoin is facing one of its biggest selloffs in recent history. Everyone is leaving — it's over."
🧠 Thinking: "Near every major bottom in Bitcoin's history, there've been vibes like that. The question is whether today's sellers end up being next year's buyers."
☀️ Good morning. Three things worth knowing this morning:
1️⃣ Bitcoin is trading at $58,677, touching a low of $58,145 earlier this morning.
• Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $222.64 million in outflows on June 30, capping the worst month on record for the products with $4.5 billion in net outflows for June.
• EU CPI came in at 3.0% this morning, down from 3.2%, while U.S. ADP employment and ISM Manufacturing data landed roughly in line with forecasts.
2️⃣ dYdX (DYDX) and Stellar (XLM) are among today’s stronger performers, up 17.2% and 10.2% respectively over the past 24 hours. The broader altcoin market lost roughly $48 billion in value yesterday, the sharpest single-day drop since early June.
3️⃣ Circle shares fell 16% after Visa, BlackRock, and a group of major financial institutions backed the launch of Open USD, a new stablecoin network built as an open alternative to USDC. Analysts say the competitive threat may be overstated given Circle's existing infrastructure and regulatory approvals, but the market reaction reflects how sensitive stablecoin positioning has become as the sector attracts more institutional players.
☀️ Good morning. Here's what's moving markets today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin is hovering near $59,000 while Strategy unveiled a new framework that, for the first time, allows the company to sell Bitcoin to fund its cash reserve and buy back its own securities. Spot ETFs recorded $4.29 billion in net outflows for June, the largest monthly redemption since the products launched in January 2024.
2️⃣ Gnosis (GNO), ORDI, and Humanity (H) are among today's stronger performers, adding more than 7% over the past 24 hours. The broader altcoin market still lost roughly $10 billion in value today so far.
3️⃣ Galaxy Research, a crypto research firm, lowered its odds that the CLARITY Act will pass in 2026 to 50%. The CLARITY Act is a bill in the U.S. Senate that would set clearer rules for how crypto companies and tokens are regulated. Investors have been watching it closely because clearer rules tend to make institutions more comfortable entering the market, so a lower passage probability adds some uncertainty heading into the second half of the year.

☀️ Good morning. Three things to know today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin slid to $58,555 overnight before recovering to around $60,000, as Asian equity markets sold off sharply — South Korea's KOSPI fell 9%, with circuit breakers triggered for the second time this week.
• Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $696.29 million in outflows on June 25, pointing to accelerated selling pressure.
• Today's $10.6 billion quarterly options expiry adds another layer of uncertainty heading into the weekend.
2️⃣ Unibase (UB) and Audiera (BEAT) are among today's top performers in the top 300, up 31.4% and 32.3% respectively over the past 24 hours. However, Bitcoin dominance slightly increased and the total altcoin market cap lost $15 billion yesterday, indicating that the wider market remains under pressure.
3️⃣ Polymarket moved to refund users after a website exploit allowed scammers to siphon millions from the platform. The incident is a reminder that prediction market infrastructure — one of the faster-growing segments in crypto this year — still carries meaningful security risk at the application layer.
☀️ Good morning. Before you start your day, three things to know:
1️⃣ Bitcoin dropped to $59,339 overnight before bouncing back to $61,700. Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $469.08 million in outflows on June 24, bringing total assets under management to $73.87 billion. This afternoon’s Core PCE inflation data at 3:30 p.m. EDT is the main event to watch — forecast at 3.4% year-over-year, up from 3.3% prior.
2️⃣ Aave (AAVE) is among today’s top performers, up 14.5% on volume of nearly $490 million. The move comes as lending protocols see renewed interest following this week’s broader market pullback.
3️⃣A new industry report covering Q2 2026 counted 85 crypto hacks with combined losses of around $775 million — the highest quarterly total on record. Separately, Ripple launched its dollar stablecoin RLUSD in Japan through licensed platform SBI VC Trade, the first regulated stablecoin rollout in the country.
📉 For the first time since the FTX collapse in November 2022, more Bitcoin is sitting at a loss than in profit.
⏳ In previous cycles, Bitcoin hit its cycle bottom within three months of this crossover. In some cases, it happened almost immediately.
⚠️ That doesn't mean the bottom is in. But historically, this signal has marked the final stage of bear markets.

☀️ Good morning. Three things to know today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin briefly pulled back as the U.S. and Iran exchanged air strikes and Trump declared the ceasefire "over.” But the asset quickly rebounded to $63,000, staying green on the weekly chart. Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost a net $85M yesterday, snapping a three-day inflow run that had brought in roughly $509M.
2️⃣ SKY, MANA, and OP are among today's top performers, each up over 10%. Optimism's move was partly driven by a new partnership with Toss, a South Korean fintech platform with 30 million users, to explore a Korean won stablecoin.
3️⃣ BNB Chain developers are planning a new L1 network built for high-frequency trading and autonomous AI agents. Public testnet is targeted for late 2026, with a mainnet launch planned for early 2027.
Good morning. Before you start your day, three things to know:
1️⃣ Bitcoin pulled back to $62,000 after briefly touching $63,700 overnight, trading near its 200-week moving average. This level has historically marked major turning points between market cycles.
2️⃣ Artificial intelligence tokens are up 300% over 7 days. ApeCoin (APE) and Lido DAO (LDO) are also among top performing altcoins, posting over 7% gains in 24 hours. The move stands out as the only sector with significant momentum while most of the market remains broadly flat.
3️⃣ FOMC Meeting Minutes release tonight at 9 p.m. EDT. Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $21.44M in net inflows yesterday — a small positive after five consecutive weeks of outflows. Markets tend to react to any signals on the Federal Reserve’s rate path ahead of the next decision.
☀️ Hello there. Three things worth knowing today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin is trading at $63,127, up 6.65% over the past week.
• ETFs recorded $265.69 million in inflows on July 6, a second consecutive positive session after 10 straight days of outflows.
2️⃣ Blur (BLUR) and Monad (MON) are among today's stronger performers, up 73.9% and 10.4% respectively over the past 24 hours. The broader altcoin market lost roughly $7.5 billion in value this week so far, though bitcoin continues to hold its recent gains.
3️⃣ Vitalik Buterin outlined what he called Ethereum's biggest rebuild since the Merge, proposing a shift to an extremely lean chain architecture using zero-knowledge proofs to shrink Ethereum's state to near zero. The goal is to make the network simpler, cheaper to run, and more decentralized. Ethereum developers have backed the long-term vision but are pushing for faster execution.

☀️ Good morning. Three things the market is watching today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin is trading at $61,629, up 2.62% over the past week. Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $221.72 million in inflows on July 2, ending a 10-session outflow streak. U.S. markets are closed today for Independence Day, so expect thinner trading conditions through the weekend.
2️⃣ Worldcoin (WLD) and Uniswap (UNI) are among today's stronger performers, up 13.1% and 12.6% respectively over the past 24 hours. The broader altcoin market gained roughly $23 billion in value yesterday, continuing a recovery after several weeks of pressure.
3️⃣ Ondo Finance tokenized BlackRock's IVV exchange-traded fund and Micron stock under a U.S. custodial model, making them available on public blockchains through an SEC-aligned structure. The move is one of the more concrete steps toward bringing regulated equity exposure on-chain, and it points to where institutional tokenization appears to be heading.
☀️ Hey there! Three things to know today:
1️⃣ Bitcoin is trading at $61,215, recovering from a low of $59,804 earlier this morning.
• ETFs recorded $294.62 million in outflows on July 1.
• Today's Nonfarm Payrolls data at 3:30 p.m. EDT is the main event — forecasts call for 114,000 jobs added in June, down sharply from May's 172,000. A weak print could shift rate expectations and add short-term momentum to risk assets heading into tomorrow's holiday.
2️⃣ Audiera (BEAT) and Lighter (LIT) are among today's stronger performers, up 21.2% and 14.4% respectively over the past 24 hours. The broader altcoin market added roughly $10.5 billion in value yesterday, closing at $852 billion.
3️⃣ Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol, raised $175 million from Paradigm, a16z, and Ribbit Capital, with Standard Chartered issuing a price target of $60 by 2030. The round is one of the larger institutional bets on DeFi lending infrastructure this year and points to renewed interest in the sector even as broader market conditions remain under pressure.

🗓 Week 26 Recap.
What mattered:
➡️ Bitcoin opened the week near $64,000 and closed it testing $58,555, the lowest level since September 2024. The move was primarily fueled by quarter-end restructuring, which caused an AI selloff and sparked increased pressure on risk assets. June spot bitcoin ETF outflows exceeded $3 billion for the month, with the final two days alone accounting for over $1.1 billion out.
➡️ Strategy STRC preferred stock dropped below $80 as concerns that the dividend isn't sustainable became more pronounced. Strategy now carries over $14 billion in unrealized losses, and Rosen Law Firm opened a probe into Strategy securities.
➡️ The Ethereum Foundation cut roughly 20% of staff and reduced its annual budget by 40%, shifting toward an endowment-style model. The goal is to bring spending from 15% of treasury assets per year down to roughly 5% by 2030.
➡️ U.S. Senate passed a housing bill with a Fed CBDC ban through 2030, Trump refused to sign, tying it to unrelated legislation.
➡️ The CLARITY Act faces a narrowing Senate window before the August recess.
➡️ Spark and Uniswap launched a stablecoin FX layer seeded with $150M, first major attempt to build forex infrastructure directly on-chain.
➡️ Nonfarm Payrolls, Thursday July 2
➡️ U.S. markets closed Friday July 3 — expect thinner liquidity
➡️ Whether bitcoin holds $58,000–$60,000

💸 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted over $6 billion in net outflows over the past 30 days, the largest on record.
👀 Watching: "Over $6B out of Bitcoin ETFs. Smart money is exiting. Institutions are losing conviction."
🧠 Thinking: "ETFs represent only 6% of circulating BTC supply. Also, ETF investors are mostly retail, not institutions, so is this outflow really 'smart money' leaving?"
