July is off to a historic start, and the markets are buzzing. First up, Bitcoin just posted its highest monthly close ever 🚀, signaling continued bullish momentum despite whispers of volume weakening. According to Bitfinex analysts, $BTC might be entering a consolidation phase, with trading volumes dropping slightly a possible sign of a local top forming.

Meanwhile, whale watcher alert! 💥 James Wynn was partially liquidated for 4.59 $BTC (around $486K), and his new liquidation price is sitting at $105,503.76. This could be the start of more shakeouts as leveraged players face volatility ahead.

In a major ETF development, the SEC has acknowledged Grayscale’s bid to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund — which holds $BTC, $ETH, $XRP, $SOL, and $ADA — into a spot ETF. This could unlock serious inflows if approved, giving crypto even more legitimacy on Wall Street.

🔥 In a surprising collab, CZ announced he donated $10 million in $BNB to support Vitalik Buterin’s open-source biotech initiative, calling it “just my little part.” While CZ funds science, Trump is stirring memecoins, declaring that DOGE will “take a look” at Elon Musk’s government contracts and subsidies. Only in 2025, folks. 🤯

Speaking of Trump, his “Big Beautiful Bill” has officially passed the Senate and now heads to the House for final approval. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak today at 9:30 AM ET, and markets are watching closely for any policy hints that could sway risk assets.

On the institutional front, Fidelity just bought 10,283 ETH worth $25.7M, and BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF grabbed 1,040 BTC worth $112.3M. The ETF inflows on July 1 alone hit $102.1M for $BTC and $31.8M for $ETH. 🐳 SharpLink Gaming also joined the party, purchasing 4,951 $ETH via OTC worth $12.4M, while Smarter Web Co. added $25M in $BTC, pushing its holdings past 773 Bitcoin.

Across the Atlantic, Deutsche Bank has officially announced it will launch a crypto custody service in 2026, marking another win for TradFi adoption. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, crypto czar @Bilalbinsaqib isn’t content with holding idle BTC in reserves — he wants it working and generating yield 📈. On the other hand, Connecticut took a surprising turn and officially banned state investment in cryptocurrencies. Regulation roulette continues. 🎰

The answer might surprise you. The suit on the right is from The Black Tux at under $500. The one on the left? Some designer brand charging $1,200 for virtually identical construction and styling.

Your wedding day deserves the perfect suit, but your bank account deserves the smart choice. Why pay luxury prices when you can look just as sharp for half the cost?

For our Solana fam, the network saw over 1.25 million new tokens launched in June, which is slightly down (–10.5%) from May. But there’s bullish momentum elsewhere: Nikita Bier, an advisor to Solana, has just joined Elon Musk’s X as the new Head of Product — a major win for crossover influence in both ecosystems.

In tech news, Apple is reportedly considering switching Siri over to external AI models like OpenAI or Anthropic, according to Bloomberg. Meanwhile, BitMine Immersion Technologies raised a massive $250M to launch an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, and SRM Entertainment is staking 365M $TRX tokens, launching a $100M TRON treasury with projected yields of up to 10% annually. 🚨

Last but not least, a bold quote from our Bitcoin maximalist-in-chief, Michael Saylor: “We must end unfair taxes on BTC miners if America is going to be the world’s Bitcoin Superpower.” Alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis, Saylor is lobbying to end double taxation on staking and mining — a move that could reshape U.S. crypto policy dramatically 🇺🇸.
