Following a resurgence of bullish sentiment across the cryptocurrency landscape, Bitcoin underwent a sharp rally and has since maintained this remarkable upward momentum, with its price holding strongly above the $108,000 mark. Amidst BTC’s renewed rally is a slowdown in the options market, which is currently mirroring past negative trends.

Summer Slowdown Hits Bitcoin Options

Since recovery from its pullback, Bitcoin has remained in an upward trajectory and appears to have found stability above the $108,000 level. Despite this notable upside performance of the flagship asset, a worrying trend has been observed in BTC’s on-chain and market dynamics.

Popular on-chain data and financial platform, Glassnode, has reported a negative development in the Bitcoin options market. Presently, the BTC options market is starting to exhibit clear signs of slowing down despite the recent upward price action.

While the market is cooling down, the development is echoing familiar trends observed during previous periods of less desire for speculation. Recent on-chain data shows that both implied volatility and trading volumes have significantly decreased lately, which may indicate that traders are reducing their exposure as sentiment is hindered by seasonal or unclear causes.

Glassnode, after analyzing the Bitcoin Options ATM Implied Volatility metric, has revealed that the options market is echoing the summer slowdown. According to the on-chain platform, the implied volatility across all expiries, especially the 1-week and 1-month holders, is approaching all-time lows.

Such a development signals a cautious pause from BTC investors, suggesting that the market may be building momentum or just taking a collective breather before making its next big move. The on-chain platform further highlighted that the options market is currently pricing some of the lowest volatility levels since the middle of 2023. This trend has continued despite BTC’s price hovering near all-time highs.

Glassnode has also drawn attention to trading volume, which seems to have dived down sharply. According to Glassnode, the summer lull is here, and BTC’s volumes are drying up in spite of the flagship asset’s ongoing run toward the $110,000 price mark. 

Data shows that the spot volume has fallen to $5.01 billion, whereas the futures volume has fallen to approximately $31.2 billion. The platform noted that volumes in these two areas are currently at their lowest in over a year and are still trending downward.

BTC Makes Key Breakouts

Despite the summer lull, Bitcoin’s price continues to display strength. Melijn The Trader, a crypto analyst, has predicted a major rally as the asset breaks out of both a falling wedge pattern and a bull flag pattern.

According to the analyst, this structure reflects momentum and not noise, classifying the development as a breakout phase. Considering the breakout, Melijn is confident that BTC could surge to a new all-time high of $140,000.

At the time of writing, BTC’s price was valued at $108,271, demonstrating a nearly 1% decline in the last 24 hours. While prices may be down, trading volume is gradually picking up pace, as indicated by a more than 15% increase in the past day.

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and CEO of Input Output Global (IOG), revealed in a newly published interview that his company passed on a potential deal with the government of El Salvador due to serious legal and geopolitical concerns—specifically involving a proposed airdrop that would have included members of the MS-13 criminal gang.

Cardano Founder Rejected El Salvador Deal

The comments came during an appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show, where Hoskinson disclosed that his team was approached by El Salvador’s administration. According to Hoskinson, the discussions stalled almost immediately after the idea of a mass airdrop to the entire population—including individuals on international sanctions lists—was introduced.

“Bukele, for example, wanted to do an airdrop to everybody in El Salvador,” Hoskinson said, referring to President Nayib Bukele. “And we’re like, okay, but MS-13 is on an OFAC list. And so if we give Bitcoin to all these people, we’re facilitating a transfer of value to a terrorist organization. That’s no bueno.”

Hoskinson emphasized that distributing tokens to sanctioned individuals—whether knowingly or unknowingly—could be considered a violation of US federal law, particularly OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions, and might invite prosecution or regulatory retaliation. “So Justice Department has to give a clearance and understand what the rules are and everything. We just couldn’t get there,” he said. “So we passed on the deal after a week, but it was just wild.”

Cory Bates, who posted the clip on X, underscored the gravity of Hoskinson’s claims, tagging prominent El Salvador Bitcoin advisors Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert and asking whether they believed the story. At the time of publication, neither Keiser nor Herbert had responded publicly.

However, Keiser’s past commentary on Hoskinson and Cardano paints a picture of longstanding hostility. In a series of posts from mid-2022, Keiser wrote: “Cardano: Centralized, and an obvious unregistered security headed up by Charles Hoskinson who his associates allege is a pathological liar.” He further claimed: “Reportedly, El Salvador tossed this crackpot loser out of the country when he showed up peddling scams.”

In another post, Keiser alleged that El Salvador had “standing orders not to let him operate” in the country. These accusations have never been formally substantiated, and Hoskinson has generally not responded to them publicly until now.

The new revelations add a controversial layer to the early narrative around El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy, which has centered almost entirely around the country’s partnership with Bitcoin maximalists and the rollout of BTC as legal tender. Cardano, often dismissed by Bitcoin proponents as too academic or too centralized, had not previously been considered a serious contender in Bukele’s national crypto vision.

At press time, Cardano traded at $0.573.

According to a press release, the company behind the top stablecoin in the world, Tether, has poured millions of dollars to ink a new partnership. The deal will allow the crypto company to contribute with the overall health of the nascent industry.

Tether To Fight Against Crypto Crime

Per the document, Tether has partnered with Crystal Intelligence, a blockchain analytics company to provide fraud detection, regulatory intelligence solutions, and risk scams. In that way, the company joins the many efforts of key industry players to combat illicit stablecoin use.

The main goal behind the partnership, according to the release, is to create a more secure crypto ecosystem. Data provided by the company claims that over $9.3 billion in digital assets were stolen, or illegally taken from its users in 2024 alone.

This number represented a 66% increase from 2023. Thus, the company claims that there has been a steady increase in illicit activities and bad actors in the crypto industry. The partnership with Crystal Intelligence aims to mitigate this threat.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated the following regarding the partnership:

Tether is firmly committed to supporting law enforcement agencies in a shared effort to combat illicit activity. With the latest in advanced intelligence tools, like those being developed by Crystal Intelligence, we are enhancing our ability to assist authorities in tracing the movement of funds in real time. Tether has already contributed to freezing billions in unlawful funds and has supported investigations across dozens of jurisdictions. This strategic investment will strengthen our capacity to collaborate more effectively and reinforce a clear message: USD₮ is the the digital dollar for the people, bad actors will be stopped.

Stablecoin Company Steps Up, Crypto Safety On the Line

Tether has been making an extra push for several years to fight against illicit on-chain activity, including aiding international law enforcement agencies to track and freeze funds from bad actors.

However, it is also worth noting that Tether has been the subject of some controversy. In particular, the previous US administration launched several investigations against the crypto company, and was close to facing criminal charges for alleged fraud.

Navin Gupta, CEO of Crystal Intelligence, added the following regarding the deal:

As the crypto industry matures, so must its foundations of trust and intelligence. Tether’s backing is both a validation of the work we’ve done together and a joint commitment to future-proofing the industry through actionable insight, integrity, and innovation. We see too many players waiting for mandates. At Crystal, we believe responsible innovation means getting ahead of threats and not just reacting to them.

US regulators have kicked off the formal review of a new spot‑crypto fund. Investors won’t know for sure if it clears the hurdles until the US Securities and Exchange Commission makes a final call. But the filing itself signals growing acceptance of directly held crypto products.

ETF Application Sparks Interest

According to the SEC filing, Trump Media’s Truth Social unit wants an ETF listed on NYSE Arca with 75% in Bitcoin and 25% in Ether. Yorkville America Digital would sponsor the fund, while Foris DAX Trust Company—Crypto.com’s custody arm—would hold the coins. US President Donald Trump’s team submitted the S‑1 form on June 16, starting what is likely a 45‑day review clock.

Custody And Valuation Rules

Based on reports, the fund would value Bitcoin each trading day using the CME CF Bitcoin reference rate. Ether would use the CME CF Ether rate, unless the sponsor chooses another source. Private keys for both assets would sit in a cold wallet, kept separate from customer accounts. That setup aims to address long‑standing worries over hacks, theft and tangled custody failures.

A Crowd Of Competing Bids

Wall Street giants like BlackRock and Fidelity have filed pure‑Bitcoin ETF applications. Some firms are eyeing Ether‑only funds. Now a dual‑asset product is in the mix. If the SEC finalizes its planned “automated” listing framework, reviews could shrink from many months to a few. That rule would standardize disclosures, custody standards and market‑integrity checks for all spot‑crypto ETFs.

Meanwhile, Fidelity’s spot‑Solana ETF hit another delay. The SEC pushed back its March 25 application and opened a new public‑comment window—21 days for feedback, 35 days for replies. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart called this hold‑up “expected,” noting it shows the agency is still fine‑tuning data and disclosures before any approvals.

What Comes Next For Investors

Now the ball is in the SEC’s court. Regulators can sign off, send back comments or reject the bid. If leadership keeps up the push for faster, automated reviews, spot‑crypto ETFs might reach market this year. Until then, every move—from amendment requests to public comments—will matter for funds backed by Bitcoin, Ether and beyond.

ETF Race Intensifies

At stake is more than branding. Fees, trading speed and trust in custody will shape which funds win big money. And sponsors will need muscle to stand out in a growing field of nearly 10 proposals. Investors should keep a close eye on filings and deadlines to know when to act.

The race launched with Trump Media’s Truth Social filing, and it may well end—with approval or denial—under its banner. Truth Social’s entry has put a fresh spin on the push for regulated crypto products.

Со времени вступления в силу Закона о регулировании криптовалют в Евросоюзе (MiCA) разрешение на работу в ЕС получили 53 криптокомпании, сообщил директор по стратегическому развитию Circle в Европе Патрик Хансен (Patrick Hansen).

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has told would-be Solana ETF sponsors to file fully amended registration statements by the end of this month, a demand that compresses a review timetable currently set to run until 10 October, the first statutory deadline for the applications.

People involved in the dialogue say the Commission’s trading-and-markets division has signalled it has no intention of waiting that long. “I think that the SEC has some pressure to approve these quicker than waiting all the way to October, especially with that Rex Shares product that got approved last week,” one person familiar with the talks told CoinDesk.

Solana Poised To Become 3rd Spot Crypto ETF

The “pressure” originates with the REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF (ticker SSK). Organised under the Investment Company Act of 1940, SSK became effective automatically in the absence of an SEC objection and began trading on 2 July, gathering about $12 million on its first day. Its stealth debut gives it a first-mover advantage the agency has previously tried to neutralise by approving competing crypto funds simultaneously, as it did for spot bitcoin and ether ETFs.

Meanwhile, the SEC is redrawing its broader rulebook for digital-asset ETPs. A 12-page guidance document issued last week outlines disclosure expectations for custody, staking rewards and market-manipulation safeguards; staff are now drafting a universal template meant to replace the bespoke Form 19b-4 waivers that have governed every prior spot-crypto ETF listing. “The SEC is looking for a general rule it can apply to all listings, and currently is going back and forth on precise wording with the exchanges,” a senior executive involved in those talks said, adding that the template could cut approval windows to roughly seventy-five days.

Analysts on X read the accelerating correspondence as constructive. “MORE delays. Fidelity’s Solana ETF filing was just delayed as expected. We’re still waiting for some sort of movement from the SEC on a generalized digital asset ETP framework,” Bloomberg Intelligence’s James Seyffart wrote after one such procedural hold. Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, echoed that view, noting that Reuters had confirmed the framework effort and cautioning that some issuers do not expect actual approvals “until early fall.”

Even if the template is not finalised before September, lawyers stress nothing prevents the Commission from clearing a Solana fund under existing rules in August. In parallel with the paperwork revisions, staff are assessing whether Solana’s market is “sufficiently resistant to manipulation” and whether the CME’s SOL futures provide an adequate surveillance substitute—tests Bitcoin and Ether passed in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Six issuers—VanEck, Fidelity, 21Shares, Ark/21Co, Bitwise and Hashdex—have spot Solana proposals on file. An approval ahead of 10 October would make Solana only the third crypto asset with a US spot ETF and could set a precedent for pending XRP, Litecoin and Dogecoin filings.

Market-makers are already bracing for a condensed launch calendar. If the agency signs off in late August, it can be expected that the products will list within days of each other; after the bitcoin experience, speed to market meant everything. Whether that starting gun fires weeks—or months—ahead of schedule now hinges on how quickly the SEC reconciles the twin pressures of policy consistency and competitive fairness in the wake of SSK’s surprise head start.

At press time, SOL traded at $148.93.

Strategy hints at a massive Bitcoin buy after announcing a $4.2B STRD stock offering, which would translate to roughly 38,588 Bitcoins at the current price of $108,840 if the purchase goes through.

The press release came on July 7, the same day when Strategy announced $14B in unrealized revenue stemming from Bitcoin’s Fair Value Appreciation in Q2 2025.

It also came one day after Michael Saylor posted his viral ‘some weeks you just need to HODL,’ which, as history showed, is just the calm before the storm, given that Strategy has acquired almost $600K Bitcoins so far and shows no signs of stopping.

The Bitcoin Adoption Train is Always on the Road

Strategy’s FOMO-inducing $4.2B $BTC investment would outweigh Twenty One Capital’s entire Bitcoin reserves, currently at 37,230 coins, in one move.

To capture the significance of this fast fact, we should consider that Twenty One Capital occupies the third place on the list of companies with the highest Bitcoin reserves, after Strategy and MARA.

This alone showcases Michael Saylor’s confidence in his Bitcoin strategy, and he’s not the only one boarding this train.

Crypto analyst NLNico shared some interesting facts about the Bitcoin adoption rate, including a list of 42 companies raising billions to secure their place at the Bitcoin table.

Metaplanet is one of them, after announcing a massive $238.7M Bitcoin acquisition, translating to 2,205 coins to bring its reserves up to 15,555 tokens.

Canadian Bitcoin infrastructure company, LQWD Technologies, also announced its 10 Bitcoin purchase at an average price of $109.240 for a total investment of $1.09M, bringing its reserves to 181 Bitcoins and joining the growing list of Bitcoin adopters.

While the investors flocking to Bitcoin is sure to increase the token’s chart performance, it can also lower it if whale sales hit the market, which is why Bitcoin’s true value comes from blockchain innovations.

One such innovation is AMBOSS’s Rail system, the self-custodial yield service allowing you to earn Bitcoins while supercharging the Lightning Network.

Advancements like these shape the crypto landscape, attracting more investors and allowing projects like Snorter Token ($SNORT) to reach the public’s attention faster than ever.

Altcoin season has remained elusive despite expectations that it would have begun early in 2025. This has led to calls that there has been a change in the cycle and perhaps the concept of an altcoin season no longer applies. The Bitcoin dominance has also remained quite high during this time, with altcoins falling rapidly with each decline. However, the Altcoin Season Index is currently pointing to a possible bottom for altcoins.

Altcoin Season Index Bounces From Low Score Of 11

The Altcoin Season Index is an index which ranks the performance of the top 50 altcoins against the performance of Bitcoin on a scale of 1-100. In the case where the top 50 coins are performing better than Bitcoin on a 90-day period, it is considered altcoin season. Whereas in the case where the Bitcoin price is still outperforming the top 50 altcoins, excluding stablecoins and asset-backed tokens, then it is considered a Bitcoin season.

Presently, the Bitcoin price is still well ahead of the top 50 altcoins, as shown by its dominance still ranging above 65%. This has significantly reduced the chances of an alt season as the focus is still heavily on Bitcoin during this time. Even more concerning is the fact that the Bitcoin price has continued to outperform Ethereum, which is often the leader of the altcoin season.

According to data from Blockchain Center, the Altcoin Season Index is currently sitting at a low score of 27 at the time of this writing. This remains quite low but has been a major step-up from the low score of 11 that was recorded back in June following the market crash.

Usually, when the index is this low, it often signals that the end of the downtrend is close and the bottom could be in. However, there could still be some ways to go, given that historically, the index has bottomed below 10 before the alt season begins.

This is seen throughout the history of the market, where the altcoin index had fallen below 8 back in 2020 before the legendary altcoin season of 2021. Then again, bottoming at a score of 4 back in 2023 before the 2024 rally.

Nevertheless, the index being this low does suggest that the bottom is either in or will be in soon. The next step would be a decline in the Bitcoin dominance, likely toward the 40% territory, and Ethereum outperforming the Bitcoin price to fully signal the entrance of the altcoin season.

Generálny riaditeľ spoločnosti Tesla a technologický vizionár Elon Musk v nedeľu oznámil založenie novej politickej strany s názvom America Party. V reakcii na otázku jedného zo svojich sledovateľov na sociálnej sieti X (bývalý Twitter) uviedol, že jeho strana bude podporovať Bitcoin. Podľa jeho slov „fiat mena je beznádejná“, čím mieri na dlhodobý pokles ceny amerického dolára a potenciál BTC v dnešnej globálnej ekonomike.

Tesla drží Bitcoin v hodnote 1,26 miliardy dolárov

Elon Musk má k najväčšej kryptomene dlhodobý vzťah. Spoločnosť Tesla patrila medzi prvých korporátnych investorov do tejto kryptomeny. V roku 2021 Tesla nakúpila Bitcoin v hodnote 1,5 miliardy dolárov, čím sa stala jednou z prvých verejne obchodovaných spoločností, ktoré zahrnuli BTC do svojich rezerv.

Podľa údajov platformy Bitbo Tesla aktuálne drží 11 509 BTC v hodnote približne 1,26 miliardy dolárov, čím sa radí na 9-te miesto medzi verejne obchodovanými spoločnosťami s najväčšími bitcoinovými rezervami.

Zakladateľ spoločnosti Jan3, Samson Mow, sa vyjadril, že prijatie BTC by mohlo dať Muskovi výhodu v jeho prebiehajúcom konflikte s Donaldom Trumpom. Mow tiež uviedol, že Tesla by mala opäť začať akceptovať Bitcoin ako platobný prostriedok. Zároveň navrhol, aby Muskova spoločnosť SpaceX ponúkala klientom zľavy za platbu v BTC.

.@elonmusk it’s time to go all in on #Bitcoin.@Tesla can take BTC for payments again and implement a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy.@SpaceX can give a discount on launches paid in Bitcoin.

Force a hard money standard on the money printers.

— Samson Mow (@Excellion) June 5, 2025

Musk však nebol vždy naklonený Bitcoinu. Ešte v roku 2021 vyhlásil, že „cena Bitcoinu je príliš vysoká“, čo spôsobilo, že cena BTC sa vtedy krátkodobo prepadla. V čase písania sa BTC obchoduje za 108 913 $.

Bitcoin ako platobný nástroj sa spomínal aj v súvislosti s rozšírením platobných možností vo vesmíre. V roku 2024 Musk najprv odmietol myšlienku využívania BTC siete na platby v rámci jeho projektu Mars. Avšak neskôr pripustil, že by tento problém mohol vyriešiť lokalizovaný Lightning Network, ktorý by eliminoval pomalé transakcie.

Konflikt medzi Elonom Muskom a Donaldom Trumpom

Vzťah medzi Muskom a bývalým prezidentom Donaldom Trumpom sa zhoršil po zverejnení Trumpovho návrhu zákona s názvom One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). Elon Musk ho označil za „deštruktívny“ a upozornil, že by mohol spôsobiť stratu miliónov pracovných miest a obrovské strategické škody pre USA.

Zákon je podľa odhadov spojený s nárastom amerického štátneho dlhu o 3,3 bilióna dolárov v nasledujúcej dekáde. Musk spochybnil logiku, prečo Trump vytvára iniciatívu s názvom DOGE zameranú na znižovanie štátneho dlhu, ak pritom plánuje zadlžiť krajinu o ďalšie bilióny.

Musk následne naznačil, že Spojené štáty potrebujú novú politickú stranu, ktorá bude „skutočne stáť pri ľuďoch“.

Založenie strany America Party

Následne v nedeľu Elon Musk oznámil založenie politickej strany America Party po tom, čo sa viac ako 1,24 milióna ľudí zúčastnilo hlasovania na sociálnej sieti X. Takmer dve tretiny hlasujúcich vyjadrili podporu vzniku novej strany.

Donald Trump reagoval kriticky, pričom varoval, že Muskova nová strana by mohla rozdeliť republikánskych voličov počas volieb do kongresu v roku 2026.

Téma sa dotýka kryptomenovej adopcie v politike, napätých vzťahov medzi technologickými lídrami a tradičnými politikmi, ako aj dlhodobej úlohy Bitcoinu v globálnej ekonomike. Zároveň signalizuje rast politiky orientovanej na technológie, kde digitálne meny a decentralizované financie zohrávajú čoraz väčšiu úlohu.

Tu sa objavuje otázka, či je Bitcoin pripravený adaptovať sa na požiadavky dnešnej doby. Ako najstaršia sieť, Bitcoin blockchain nebol pôvodne navrhnutý na rýchle transakcie. Navyše náklady spojené s prevádzkou siete sú značne vyššie, ako u iných sietí. Ak chce Bitcoinový ekosystém udržať krok s dobou, potrebuje nové škálovacie riešenie s energeticky nižším zaťažením.

Nové škálovacie riešenie Bitcoin Hyper zásadne mení spôsob, akým môžeme využívať BTC

Na tento problém upozornil vývojársky tím Bitcoin Hyper, ktorý pripravuje prvé škálovacie riešenie L2 postavené na overenej architektúre Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) s podporou smart kontraktov.

Kým Bitcoin sieť aktuálne spracuje len 7 transakcií za sekundu, SVM umožní realizáciu niekoľko tisíc transakcií za rovnaký čas. Naviac s použitím tzv. kanonického mosta (Canonical Bridge) je presun BTC medzi pôvodnou sieťou a novou vrstvou nielen rýchly, ale spĺňa najvyššie štandardy bezpečnosti bitcoinového blockchainu.

Zdroj: bitcoinhyper.com

Vďaka projektu Bitcoin Hyper môžu používatelia jednoducho používať BTC v rámci DeFi, stakingu alebo decentralizovaných aplikácií s takmer nulovými poplatkami a okamžitým spracovaním. Navyše nová architektúra má oveľa nižšiu energetickú spotrebu ako pôvodná Bitcoin sieť.

Celý ekosystém poháňa natívny token HYPER. Ten plní nielen funkciu platidla za tzv. gas fee, ale je tiež zdrojom pasívnych príjmov pre dlhodobých držiteľov. Token totiž aktuálne v štádiu predpredaja ponúka APY odmeny za staking vo výške až 387 %. Okrem toho ho držitelia využijú aj ako nástroj hlasovania v rámci rozhodovania a budúcom vývoji ekosystému.

V čase písania je predpredajná cena kryptomeny HYPER 0,012175 $. Podľa doterajšieho investičného záujmu a predikcií kritikov, sa token HYPER zaradil medzi top kryptomeny na nákup 2025.

Token6900 tak testuje, či čistá sila internetu, meme kultúry a participácie dokáže generovať vysoký rast bez prísľubov technologických prevratov. Vďaka tomu sa T6900 stáva nie len tokenom, ale aj zrkadlom toho, čo dnes v kryptosvete skutočne funguje – autenticita, energia a otvorená komunita.

Token6900 ponúka predpredaj s limitom 5 miliónov dolárov, pričom aktuálna cena tokenu T6900 je  0,0065 $. Nákup môžete zrealizovať na oficiálnej stránke predpredaja pripojením svojej Best Wallet, alebo inej kompatibilnej kryptopeňaženky.

Záujemci o staking majú k dispozícii APY odmeny 195 % s možnosťou zapojenia sa do hlasovaní v rámci aktívnej DAO organizácie. Objem tokenov je pevne stanovený, pričom 80 % z celkovej ponuky je sprístupnených priamo v predpredaji.

Ak vám meme kultúra, číslo 6900 a nostalgiu po starom internete nie sú cudzie, Token6900 môže byť tým správnym „low cap“ experimentom, ktorý osloví nielen srdce, ale aj peňaženku.

The EU just handed out 53 Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) licenses: firm-level approval under one of the toughest crypto frameworks to date.

According to new data shared by Circle’s Patrick Hansen, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has authorized a wave of crypto-native firms, TradFi giants, and fintech platforms to operate seamlessly across all 30 European Economic Area (EEA) countries.

The list includes Robinhood, Crypto.com, Societe Generale, Circle, and even decentralized payment processors like Bitpanda and MoonPay. But Binance and Tether didn’t make the cut, raising eyebrows and marking a potential power shift in who dominates the European crypto landscape.

Nevertheless, this is the first time we’ve seen such clean regulatory clarity from a major economic zone, and it’s a big deal. Regulated crypto is here.

And if MiCA is the green light for adoption, then the next logical question is: Where’s the smart money going?

We’ll spotlight this shift in more detail and uncover three projects that align with the direction MiCA is pushing the industry.

MiCA Approvals Signal Global Crypto Shift

The approved 53 crypto firms under MiCA include 14 stablecoin issuers and 39 Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs), setting a new global benchmark for regulatory clarity.

These licenses come with passporting rights, meaning approved companies can legally operate across all 30 EEA countries without reapplying in each one.

Names like BBVA, OKX, eToro, Coinbase, and Kraken are now fully licensed, signaling that both TradFi and crypto-native firms are playing ball.

The takeaway? Regulation isn’t killing crypto; it’s legitimizing it. And it’s not just about checking compliance boxes anymore.

In this new landscape, the projects that thrive won’t be those shouting the loudest but those building with regulation in mind, ready to scale with the system rather than outside it.

The Best Cryptos to Buy in This New MiCA Era

So, what kind of projects actually stand to benefit in this new regulatory climate? Here are three tokens that align with where crypto’s heading next:

1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Bitcoin Finally Gets an Execution Layer

Bitcoin’s reputation as a store of value is ironclad, but what about its utility? Still stuck in 2015. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to change that with a Layer 2 solution that’ll integrate Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM), effectively turning Bitcoin into a fast, programmable, and DeFi-compatible network.

With near-instant $BTC transfers, cross-chain swaps, and support for complex Decentralized Apps (dApps), Bitcoin Hyper aims to bring real speed and smart contracts to the most trusted blockchain on earth without giving up its security.

Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs ensure finality, while the Canonical Bridge handles $BTC deposits and withdrawals seamlessly. $HYPER being the forefront of this innovative plan could see the token reach $0.32 by the end of the year.

The $HYPER presale has already raised $2M+, with one token currently costing just $0.012175 — early birds can also stake their tokens (currently sitting at 386% APY). No VC allocations. No insider minting. Just a clean, public launch.

In a crypto climate shifting toward real infrastructure and compliance-readiness, Bitcoin Hyper gives Bitcoin what it’s always lacked: a real execution layer. For more information, here’s a full guide on how to buy $HYPER tokens.

2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Built for Utility, Ready for What’s Next

The Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is the gateway to one of crypto’s most rapidly growing ecosystems. Holding $BEST unlocks a range of real, usable benefits inside the Best Wallet app, a non-custodial wallet built for the next phase of Web3.

That includes up to 100% APY in staking rewards, reduced transaction fees, early access to the hottest crypto presales, and even exclusive perks through its iGaming partnerships. Over $13.75M has already been raised in the presale, with the current price at $0.025295.

And soon, Best Card will launch – giving users a way to spend crypto like cash, with cashback perks and fee discounts baked in. It’ll work anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

$BEST is the fuel for an expanding ecosystem that’s designed to reward actual usage, not just speculation. We’ve predicted that $BEST could reach between $0.43 and $0.82 by 2030.

3. Chainlink ($LINK) – The Oracle Backbone of Regulated Crypto

If the MiCA era is about connecting crypto to the real economy, then Chainlink ($LINK) is the protocol already doing it. With over $9B in market cap, Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network provides the critical infrastructure for bringing off-chain data on-chain.

From asset prices and weather feeds to bond yields and real-world identity. As the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs) accelerates, Chainlink is quietly becoming the data layer for this $300T market.

It’s already working with central banks, TradFi institutions, and infrastructure providers, and its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is powering seamless value transfers across chains and legacy systems like SWIFT.

$LINK currently trades at $13.49, still far below its all-time high of $52.88.

With Chainlink Staking v0.2 improving oracle security via slashing and the new Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) poised to streamline RWA automation, $LINK is increasingly positioned as a compliant, foundational asset in crypto’s regulated future.

A Turning Point

MiCA is no longer just a headline. It’s now policy, and it marks a clear turning point: crypto isn’t dying; it’s ramping up.

The next phase belongs to projects that combine real infrastructure with forward-looking narratives, whether that’s Bitcoin finally gaining scalable DeFi with projects like Bitcoin Hyper, wallets built for the new Web3 user, or oracle networks linking TradFi rails to on-chain logic.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Golden Cross has surged close to the historical topping zone.

Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Is Currently Shooting Up

In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has talked about the latest the trend in the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross. The NVT Golden Cross is an indicator that’s based on an on-chain metric known as the NVT Ratio.

The NVT Ratio tells us about how the market cap of the cryptocurrency compares against its transaction volume. The indicator is based on the idea that the blockchain’s ability to transact coins (as represented by the transfer volume) could be looked at as its fair value.

When the value of the metric is high, it means the value of the asset (that is, the market cap) is high compared to this ability to transact coins. Such a trend can imply that the coin may be overbought.

On the other hand, the indicator being low suggests the market cap could potentially have room to grow with respect to the transaction volume. This kind of trend can imply a rebound to the upside may be due for the cryptocurrency.

Now, the NVT Golden Cross, the actual metric of interest here, is a Bollinger-band like indicator that signals whether the NVT Ratio is close to a top or bottom. The metric works by comparing the short-term trend of the NVT Ratio to its long-term one.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross over the year 2025 so far:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has recently been following a trajectory of rapid growth, implying the market cap has sharply been increasing relative to the transaction volume.

The indicator has now reached a value of 1.98. From the chart, it’s visible that this isn’t too far from the 2.2 level (boundary of red zone). Historically, the indicator crossing above this level has generally signaled overheated conditions for the cryptocurrency.

So far, the pattern has held in 2025 as well, with Bitcoin observing local tops alongside each of the three instances where the NVT Golden Cross breached the 2.2 mark.

“If the metric crosses 2.2 again, it may hint at a local top,” notes the quant. “But don’t rush to exit—historically, the metric has stayed above 2.2 for several days.” It now remains to be seen how BTC and the NVT Golden Cross would develop in the near future.

BTC Price

Bitcoin attempted a move toward the all-time high (ATH) just earlier, but it seems the effort failed and the coin has fallen back to its range, as its price trades around $108,000.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is set to testify before the US Senate Banking Committee on July 9, 2025, during a hearing focused on the future of digital asset markets. 

Titled “From Wall Street to Web3: Building Tomorrow’s Digital Asset Markets,” the session will reportedly address the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies, with particular emphasis on proposed legislation like the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act.

Ripple CEO Tackles Regulatory Challenges

According to a DailyStar report, Garlinghouse will be accompanied by notable figures from the industry, including Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association; Jonathan Levin, CEO of Chainalysis; and Dan Robinson, General Partner at Paradigm. 

The hearing will be led by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, with pro-crypto Senators Cynthia Lummis, and lawmaker Ruben Gallego overseeing the Subcommittee on Digital Assets.

In a recent statement, Garlinghouse underscored the necessity of a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the United States. He asserted that constructive legislation is crucial for fostering innovation and ensuring consumer protection while promoting financial opportunities within the sector. 

This testimony follows significant legal developments for Ripple, especially a ruling in July 2023 by a US District Court, which determined that XRP, Ripple’s associated token, is not classified as a security when sold to the general public, although it may be treated as such in certain institutional scenarios.

XRP Case And New Stablecoin Regulations

On June 26, 2025, Judge Analisa Torres reaffirmed this ruling by rejecting a proposed settlement agreement between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), maintaining that XRP is not a security in most contexts. 

In a notable shift, Ripple Labs announced its intention to withdraw its cross appeal regarding the sale of XRP tokens. Garlinghouse shared this decision on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), indicating that both Ripple and the SEC are expected to abandon their respective appeals. 

This move signals a potential resolution to a protracted dispute that has lasted several years, allowing Ripple to refocus on its primary mission: building the “Internet of Value.”

By withdrawing the cross appeal, Ripple aims to expedite the conclusion of its lengthy legal battle, which has loomed over the company and the broader cryptocurrency landscape.

In legislative developments, the GENIUS Act, which stands for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, was passed by the Senate on June 17, 2025, with a bipartisan vote of 68-30. 

This legislation could be beneficial for Ripple, particularly for its RLUSD stablecoin, as it seeks to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins that mandates issuers to maintain equivalent reserves and comply with specific operational standards. 

The bill is now awaiting consideration in the House of Representatives, further indicating a significant shift in the regulatory approach to digital assets in the US.

If there’s one constant in crypto, it’s that Donald Trump will either pump the market to the moon or smash it into the floor. This time, it’s the latter.

Trump’s latest round of tariffs – 25% on Japan and South Korea, plus vague threats to BRICS-aligned countries – have spooked investors.

The crypto market dipped 3.5%, Bitcoin flirted with dropping below $108K, and leveraged traders got flushed for $177M in liquidations.

But if you’ve been in this space long enough, you know this dip won’t last. The question is: where do you park your crypto bags when the storm clouds roll in?

We’ve rounded up the best altcoins for safety amidst Trump tariffs.

Trump’s Market Madness: Tariffs, Tweets, and Temporary Turbulence

Trump’s tariff tantrum came in the form of Truth Social posts and a flurry of letters to foreign leaders.

He’s hitting Japan and South Korea with 25% tariffs starting August 1, threatening 10% on BRICS countries, and trying to spin it all as a deficit-fixing genius.

Traders aren’t buying it.

Historically, Trump talks big, then backpedals – remember the last tariff showdown in April?

So the correct narrative would be: Bitcoin dipped to around $76K in April, then recovered to hit a new all-time high (ATH) just shy of $112 K in May.

The same pattern is likely here. But until the smoke clears, savvy investors are rotating into crypto presales and new crypto projects with utility, strong narratives, and room to grow.

1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The High-Speed Escape Hatch for Bitcoin Purists

With Trump rattling markets again through a new wave of tariffs, many investors are searching for assets that can thrive amid chaos – not just survive it.

That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) steps in. More than a token, Bitcoin Hyper is the first true Layer 2 built for Bitcoin, unlocking fast, cheap, and scalable transactions on top of the slow, legacy Bitcoin base layer.

Built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), it gives devs, builders, and degens everything they love – blazing speed, near-zero gas fees, and full compatibility with Bitcoin and Solana.

In short: Bitcoin Hyper is where the action happens. Meme coins, payments, dApps, DeFi – it’s all finally possible on Bitcoin.

And at the core of it all? $HYPER, the native token fueling the ecosystem. It powers transactions, staking, governance, and access to future launches.

Right now you can buy $HYPER in the presale phase for just $0.012175, and it just passed the $2M raised milestone, signaling strong early momentum.

In a world where political noise keeps disrupting the markets, Bitcoin Hyper offers what Bitcoin was always meant to be – fast, useful, and unstoppable.

2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – The Smart Investor’s Shelter in a Storm

In moments like this, with Trump’s tariff threats rattling global markets and Bitcoin dipping, smart investors look for real utility.

Best Wallet Token ($BEST) offers exactly that. It’s the fuel behind Best Wallet, a sleek, secure, and highly functional multi-chain wallet built for both crypto newcomers and seasoned pros.

Unlike clunky legacy wallets like MetaMask, Best Wallet is part of a new generation. It combines fast token swaps, bridging, buying, and portfolio management – all inside a clean interface backed by Fireblocks’ MPC-CMP security tech.

There’s also a major advantage for early adopters: the $BEST presale is live exclusively inside the app, rewarding people with early access and lower costs.

The token is currently priced at $0.025295 and has already raised $13.7M, backed by a growing 70K+ user community and 50% monthly growth.

With powerful features like iGaming bonuses, staking perks, and exclusive presale access via Upcoming Tokens, it’s built to thrive even in shaky markets.

Analysts predict $BEST could hit $0.072 in 2025 and $0.62 by 2026 – not bad for a ‘safe’ play during tariff season.

3. Bitcoin Solaris ($BTC‑S) – Mining From Your Pocket While Markets Tremble

With Trump’s tariffs rattling crypto sentiment, Bitcoin Solaris ($BTC-S) is another altcoin that offers a compelling alternative – real utility built on Bitcoin’s legacy.

This Layer‑1 hybrid blockchain combines Proof‑of‑Work security with a Delegated Proof‑of‑Stake layer, giving people 10K TPS and sub‑2‑second transaction finality – versus Bitcoin’s sluggish 7 TPS and 60‑minute block times.

It cuts energy use by over 99%, making it both fast and green. But the real star is mobile mining. Through the upcoming Solaris Nova app, anyone can earn BTC‑S tokens on their phone, no ASICs required.

You just tap ‘start,’ and the app runs lightweight mining in the background, offering passive earnings and governance rights.

$BTC‑S is currently in Phase 11 of its presale at $5, with a launch set for $20. Over 13,650 participants have raised nearly $6M.

In a nerve‑wracking market driven by Trump’s political noise, Bitcoin Solaris gives investors real issuing power – not just meme hype. It represents bitcoin’s evolution: scalable, accessible, and ready for action.

Don’t Let the Trump Dump Fool You

Tariffs come and go. Market jitters fade. But smart crypto plays. The ones with real use cases, clear narratives, and solid tokenomics stick around.

Whether you’re betting on hyper-deflation with Bitcoin Hyper, better wallets with Best Wallet Token, or sharper tools with Bitcoin Solaris, these three altcoins could help you ride out the Trump storm in style.

As always, remember this isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) before investing in crypto.

Основатель Cardano Чарльз Хоскинсон (Charles Hoskinson) заявил, что развитию индустрии цифровых активов мешает отсутствие совместимости блокчейнов и тесного сотрудничества между криптопроектами.

Главными барьерами для вложений в инструменты на базе криптовалют российские квалифицированные инвесторы считают нехватку знаний о цифровых активах и высокую волатильность монет. Это показал опрос, проведенный экспертами инвестиционной компании «БКС Мир Инвестиций».

Ветеран Вьетнама из Чикаго Ричард Лайонс (Richard Lyons) перевел $10 000 криптовалютному мошеннику, выдававшему себя за миллиардера и основателя Tesla Илона Маска.

Russia has introduced a national registry for cryptocurrency mining hardware, marking a new step in its effort to formalize and regulate the industry.

According to state-run media outlet RIA Novosti, the registry has already been deployed in key regions with high mining activity and is intended to help authorities better monitor energy usage tied to mining operations.

This effort, led jointly by the Ministry of Energy, the Federal Tax Service, and the Ministry of Digital Development, signals an expansion of the country’s broader regulatory oversight of the crypto mining sector.

Government Tightens Oversight Through Energy-Based Tracking and Taxation

The creation of the registry follows previous government moves to curb unregulated mining activity, particularly in areas experiencing strain on power infrastructure.

In February, the Ministry of Energy first proposed the registry as a mechanism to track crypto mining operations through their energy consumption footprint.

Authorities argue that this step is necessary not only for effective taxation but also for managing regional energy stability, especially given the surge in mining linked to Russia’s low electricity costs and favorable climate for mining hardware.

The registry complements several recent policy developments aimed at tightening control over digital asset activities in Russia. Earlier this year, miners were officially given the ability to declare their crypto earnings online through a system implemented by the Federal Tax Service.

This followed the formal enactment of a legal tax framework for crypto mining that was approved by President Vladimir Putin and came into force in 2025. The framework enables authorities to tax mining revenues while providing a legal foundation for enforcement actions.

Mining Bans, Asset Seizures, and the Push Toward Full Compliance

In parallel with these developments, Russian officials have also implemented a multi-year ban on crypto mining in six energy-strained regions.

The ban, which will last until March 15, 2031, is meant to alleviate power shortages caused by unregulated energy-intensive mining farms. Officials have not disclosed the names of all affected regions, but previous reports cited Irkutsk and Dagestan among the high-consumption areas drawing government scrutiny.

Further legislative measures are under development as well. The Ministry of Digital Development has reportedly proposed a new bill that would enable courts to confiscate digital assets and levy significant fines on individuals or entities violating mining rules.

According to Forbes Russia, the maximum fine for corporate entities could reach up to 2 million rubles, or approximately $22,000. While this legislation is still pending, it forms part of a broader attempt to integrate crypto mining into Russia’s official regulatory and economic frameworks.

The country has emerged as one of the world’s leading hubs for proof-of-work mining, particularly for Bitcoin. With its vast energy resources and previously lax oversight, Russia’s share of the global hash rate has grown in recent years.

However, the latest moves suggest a shift toward centralized management, where only registered and tax-compliant mining operations may continue to operate without legal consequence.
