🚀 Ethereum outshines Bitcoin in weekend rally
Spot ETH ETFs in the US have attracted $6.7B net inflows YTD, with late July seeing a record $2.4B in 6 days, far surpassing BTC ETFs’ $827M. This surge reflects strong institutional demand and capital rotation from BTC to ETH.
On Monday Asia session, ETH jumped 2.9% to break $4,300, its highest since Dec 2021, and is up 20% in the past week. Bitcoin also crossed $121K, nearing its all-time high.
Corporate treasuries are playing a bigger role: US-listed companies now hold ~$13B ETH, with over $1.5B purchased in just the past month — echoing the ea

🇺🇸 Today's Crypto News:

🚨 Vitalik Buterin is back as an onchain billionaire! 🚀
Now holds 240,042 ETH (~$1.04B) as ETH surges past $4.2K.

The Onchain Aggregator War Has Begun ⚔️
In Web3, two giants are taking radically different paths to control the flow of value:
🔵 Jupiter wants to own the interface. It's turning itself into Solana’s default liquidity gateway — aggregating trades, owning user relationships, acquiring apps (Moonshot, DRiP), and embedding itself into wallets and dApps. It’s building the "Amazon of DeFi".
🔴 Hyperliquid wants to own the backend. It offers deep, low-latency order books and lets others build on top. Phantom, BasedApp, and others rely on its liquidity rails. It's becoming DeFi’s "AWS".

🚨 2024 Crypto Compensation Report
📊 Key takeaways from 1,600+ responses:
Crypto payroll is booming: 9.6% now receive part or all of their salary in crypto—up 3x YoY. USDC leads (63%), followed by USDT (28.6%).
Remote still rules: 82% work fully remote, though in-office work is up from 1.5% → 6%, signaling a slow shift.
Engineering talent in demand:
- Junior dev salaries up +25.6% YoY
- Mid-level up +14.5%
- Senior devs still lead with median $202.5k
Degrees ≠ higher pay:
-Bachelor’s holders earn more on average than Master’s or even PhDs
- MBAs? No salary boost in Web3

🔁 Could stablecoins drive the next decade of global economic growth—just like e-payments once did?
Stablecoins aren’t just for payments anymore. They’re accelerating the velocity of money by making capital move faster, work harder, and reach further.
💡 With 24/7 global liquidity, programmable settlement, and permissionless USD access, stablecoins are:
- Powering remittances & cross-border B2B
- Fueling DeFi & real-world payments
- Boosting financial inclusion in emerging markets
📈 Short-term: More efficient capital circulation → higher GDP & productivity
🏗️ Long-term: From speed to capital

We’re living in the age of hyper-speculative capitalism 💸📈
Markets no longer reflect fundamentals like earnings or GDP — instead, they follow liquidity flows.
Global M2 remains elevated, and Bitcoin 🚀 thrives in this environment.
Based on past halving cycles, BTC could peak at $135K–150K around late September 2025.
Despite 5% rates and a strong job market, the US is running a 7% GDP deficit. Fiscal policy now dominates.
In this distorted economy, liquidity is the market.
Ignore it at your own risk.

📈 Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy & Metaplanet are accelerating BTC’s journey to becoming a global reserve asset.
💰 Many institutional funds can't buy spot BTC due to restrictions—but they can buy BTC-backed stocks or bonds. Treasury companies bridge that gap.
🏦 With access to long-term corporate debt, these firms use smart leverage—safer than margin or daily-reset ETFs.
⚡ This isn’t a threat to Bitcoin’s ethos—it’s part of its natural adoption curve.
🌍 BTC remains open, permissionless, and self-custodial. Corporate adoption simply reflects rising global demand.

🎯 How Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Strategy Avoids Liquidation
Since 2020, Michael Saylor has built MicroStrategy into a Bitcoin powerhouse — holding 628,791 BTC ($71.9B) without relying on risky leverage.
Now, he’s taking it further:
- Phasing out convertible debt
- Switching to preferred equity (like the new STRC offering targeting 10% yield)
- Redeeming $4.2B in bonds to avoid short pressure from hedge funds
- Saylor avoids margin calls by using equity over debt. Few can follow — most crypto funds rely on convertibles or private placements.
In a sea of leverage, Strategy stands alone. 🧠📈

🇨🇳 China is playing the long game with crypto.
Instead of just holding reserves like the US, Beijing is injecting confiscated crypto liquidity into Hong Kong exchanges — turning HK into a global price discovery hub.
💡 This isn't just about FATF compliance — it’s a strategic move: control supply, steer prices, lead the market.
⚖️ The US is tied to a "hold-and-wait" strategy, lacking flexibility in response.
💥 Liquidity is power. China has chosen Hong Kong as the game board — and they’re making the rules.

🔹 DeFi, self-custody wallets, decen

How to Make US Stocks Great Again? 🇺🇸📈
Imagine buying Apple, Tesla, or S&P500 stocks anytime, anywhere, with just a phone and crypto wallet — no brokers, no Wall Street hours.
That’s the promise of tokenized US stocks:
- On-chain stocks (ERC-20 style)
- 24/7 global trading
- Fractional ownership
- No geographical barriers
Big players like Robinhood, Ondo, Kraken, Backed Finance are already in the race. Even Figma’s IPO includes a blockchain-native stock class.
But challenges remain:
- Wild price swings due to low liquidity
- Legal grey zones
- SEC warns: “A tokenized stock is still a stock”

🚨 Bitcoin shrugs off $9.6B whale sell-off – $140K next?
Last weekend, an early BTC whale sold 80K BTC ($9.6B) via Galaxy Digital OTC. Price briefly dipped to $115K, then rebounded to $119K, showing strong market depth.
Unrealized profits hit a record $1.4T, with 97% of supply in profit.
Key range: $105K–$125K. A decisive breakout could push BTC to $141K, but on‑chain data suggests heavy profit‑taking pressure at that level.
This marks one of the largest realized profit events in BTC history, yet the market held near ATHs – a sign of maturity and strong liquidity.
