The crypto seas are turbulent with whale activity and record-breaking market moves! A legendary ICO whale just moved 10,000 ETH ($42.7M) today, sending 2,000 ETH to Kraken — reminding us that early investors still hold immense power. This whale originally scooped up 100K ETH back in 2015 for just $0.31 each!

Meanwhile, Ethereum soared to its highest weekly close since December 2021, fueled by over $326 million of US spot ETH ETF inflows last week — outpacing Bitcoin ETF inflows of $246 million. Bitcoin itself smashed past the $120K mark, triggering more than $50 million in short liquidations in just one hour. Could this be the start of a historic bull run? 🔥

Transaction volumes on Layer 1 blockchains are booming, with Sui leading at 16.4 million, Avalanche close behind at 15.8 million, and Sei hitting 4.3 million transactions in the last 24 hours.

On the institutional front, Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries bought 200,000 BNB worth $160 million, making it the largest corporate BNB holder worldwide, thanks to a recent $500 million private placement pivoting their treasury strategy to BNB.

Meanwhile, the LayerZero Foundation unveiled plans to acquire Stargate (STG) for $110 million, promising deeper integration and bridge protocol enhancements.

The market isn’t without risk. Alena Vranova, SatoshiLabs founder, warned that at least one Bitcoiner is kidnapped or extorted every week — a stark reminder to prioritize crypto security. Also, this week, $275 million worth of tokens will unlock, including a $58.8 million release by CONX on August 15, potentially shaking price stability.

The Fear & Greed Index climbed from 64 to 70 this week, signaling stronger bullish sentiment. Plus, global M2 money supply is rising again — will Bitcoin follow suit? Economic watchers are bracing for a slew of key reports this week: July CPI and PPI inflation data, retail sales, consumer sentiment, and five Federal Reserve speaker events. How will these affect crypto markets?

In other news, Nvidia and AMD agreed to pay 15% of their China chip sales revenue to the U.S. government to secure export licenses, an important development for global semiconductor supply chains impacting blockchain tech. Bitdeer added 42.2 BTC to their holdings, now sitting at 1,718.1 BTC, while Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury, started five years ago with $250 million, now holds 629K BTC and its shares have soared over 2,600%.

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
