Oregon’s Attorney General (AG) has filed a motion to keep the lawsuit against Coinbase in state court, following the crypto exchange’s efforts to move the litigation to federal court.

Oregon Says Coinbase Case Must Stay In State Courts

On July 2, Oregon’s Attorney General, Dan Rayfield, filed a motion to remand its lawsuit against Coinbase back to the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County. The motion follows the crypto exchange’s attempt to move the case to federal court.

In early June, Coinbase filed a notice of removal, seeking to take the action from the Oregon courts to federal court, arguing that the case raises a federal question. The exchange argues that Oregon’s state law (OSL) claims “arise under” the federal law because the state’s courts use the federal Securities Act of 1993, and the federal Howey Test, for guidance to define what constitutes an “investment contract.”

However, Oregon’s motion explains that “almost 50 years ago, the Supreme Court of Oregon, sitting en banc, broke stride with Howey in its interpretation of an ‘investment contract’ under the OSL, deciding the term should be ‘modified’ to encompass a broader range of investment schemes. Pratt v. Kross, 276, Or. 483, 497 (1976).”

Since then, Oregon courts have followed the Pratt Test, which applies a broader definition of investment contract. The AG noted that “because Oregon does not strictly follow the Howey test, the State’s claims here do not turn on the Howey test.”

The motion claims that the lawsuit isn’t a “regulatory land grab,” as Coinbase called it. Instead, it is a “quintessential state law action” that seeks redress on behalf of Oregonians under the state’s law. Therefore, it should be “adjudicated by the state court in which the Attorney General filed it.”

Oregon’s ‘Gensler-Era’ Lawsuit

On April 18, Oregon’s AG filed a complaint in Multnomah County Circuit Court against Coinbase, alleging the crypto exchange had violated the Oregon securities law by facilitating the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to the state’s residents.

As reported by Bitcoinist, the lawsuit states that the exchange “has continuously and repeatedly violated the Oregon Securities Law, which ascribes liability to persons ´who [s]ell[] or successfully solicit[] the sale of a security … in violation of the Oregon Securities Law’ (ORS 59.115(1)(a)), as well as to persons who ‘participate[] or materially aid[] in the sale’ (ORS 59.115(3)).”

Following the news, Coinbase’s CLO, Paul Grewal, affirmed that Rayfield is “literally picking up where the Gary Gensler SEC left off,” adding that the lawsuit is a “copycat case” attempting to “resurrect” the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) long-criticized regulatory approach under the previous administration.

The SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023, affirming that the platform operated as an unregistered broker-dealer and illegally sold unregistered securities through its staking program. However, the lawsuit was dismissed in February 2025 following the establishment of the agency’s Crypto Task Force.

Oregon’s lawsuit now claims that Coinbase sold high-risk investments without properly vetting to protect consumers, which has caused significant losses for Oregonians. Notably, the case covers significantly more tokens than the SEC originally named in its case, which listed 13 tokens. The lawsuit claims that the crypto exchange offered and sold 31 cryptocurrencies as investment contracts.

In a Wednesday post, Grewal called out Rayfield for attempting to send his “Gensler-era copycat” lawsuit back to state courts, affirming that it goes against the US’s recent progress developing a clear and unified framework for the industry.

In most places, it’s 2025. But the Oregon AG still thinks it’s 2023 with his Gensler-era @secgov copycat suit. Yesterday, he asked the federal court to send the case back to his home state court. This pursuit of a patchwork of state regulation – especially against the historic progress towards a unified federal framework – only helps politicians and harms consumers.

Although Bitcoin (BTC) has recorded slight losses over the past 24 hours – following strong US employment data – the top cryptocurrency’s overall structure remains overwhelmingly bullish, promising new highs in the near term.

Bitcoin Retests Bullish Megaphone Pattern

According to an X post by crypto analyst Mister Crypto, BTC recently completed a successful retest of a bullish megaphone pattern. The analyst shared the following chart, suggesting that BTC may finally be ready for a breakout to a new all-time high (ATH).

For the uninitiated, a bullish megaphone pattern occurs when price forms a broadening structure with higher highs and lower lows, followed by a breakout to the upside. It suggests growing volatility and buyer dominance, often leading to strong upward momentum once resistance is broken.

Similarly, fellow crypto analyst Jelle commented on the latest BTC price action, noting that while the digital asset is still trading in a local range, it has successfully flipped previous local highs into support levels.

The analyst added that there’s just one more resistance level to overcome – $112,000. A decisive breakout above this level could propel BTC into what he called the “thin air” zone.

On a longer time frame, BTC appears to be steadily approaching a rising trendline formed by multiple previous resistance levels. Crypto analyst CryptoGoos noted that once Bitcoin breaks above this trendline, “sky is the limit.”

Zooming out further, crypto trader Merlijn the Trader highlighted Bitcoin’s three-year uptrend. He believes the final phase of this uptrend has begun, potentially taking BTC to $240,000 in the coming months.

BTC To Benefit From Short Squeeze?

Bitcoin may also benefit from short liquidations. In a separate X post, seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that over $30 million in short positions could be wiped out if BTC surges past $111,000.

Short liquidations occur when traders who bet against an asset are forced to close their positions due to rising prices, typically by buying back the asset at a loss. This buying pressure can further drive prices up, often resulting in a rapid price surge known as a short squeeze.

Meanwhile, there are no clear signs of exhaustion in the Bitcoin market. According to a recent analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Crypto Dan, the BTC bubble chart suggests that the asset is cooling off without overheating – implying more room for growth.

That said, some risks remain. Bitcoin recently flashed a rare signal on the three-month chart that could foreshadow a brutal sell-off, possibly dragging the price down to $40,000. At press time, BTC trades at $107,701, down 1.6% in the past 24 hours.

In a first for the Bitcoin network, 20,000 BTC dormant since 14 years has suddenly moved. Here’s how much profit was involved in the transaction.

A Significant Amount Of Ancient Bitcoin Has Just Been Transferred

As explained by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, there have been a couple of unprecedented transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain.

The transfers in question involved the movement of 20,000 BTC in two batches (that is, 10,000 tokens in each move) sitting dormant since 14.3 years ago. “This is never before witnessed in Bitcoin’s entire history,” notes Maartunn.

When the tokens involved in these moves were last transacted in April 2011, they were worth a total of $15,586. Today, they are worth upwards of $2.1 billion.

This naturally suggests that with the move, the owner of the tokens has harvested an extraordinary amount of profit. More specifically, the move has realized a gain of almost 13.8 million percent.

An indicator that has registered a notable spike because of the dormancy-breaking transactions is the Bitcoin Coin Days Destroyed (CDD). A ‘coin day’ is a quantity that one token of the asset accumulates after being still on the blockchain for one day.

When a coin that has been dormant for some number of days is moved, its coin days counter resets back to zero and the coin days that it had been carrying are said to be ‘destroyed.’ The CDD measures the total number of coin days being reset in this manner across the network.

Naturally, the CDD is particularly sensitive to moves from the diamond hands of the Bitcoin market, as their tokens tend to carry a large number of coin days. The 20,000 BTC transactions from today are quite ancient, so it’s to be expected that they would register on the indicator.

And indeed, as the chart for the metric displays, each of the two 10,000 BTC transfers involved the destruction of more than 52 million coin days. Thus, collectively, the moves have caused the CDD to reach over 104 million coin days.

Now, what could these moves mean for the Bitcoin market? Generally, when such ancient coins move, the motive is likely to be selling. In this particular case, however, the investor involved may not be a high-conviction holder. This is because coins that reach such an old age usually get there by becoming lost, either due to their existence being forgotten or having their keys misplaced.

As such, it’s probable that the tokens have only recently been rediscovered. Selling from holders carrying coins from a few years ago can be a sign of conviction breaking in the sector, but this particular move may not be it.

BTC Price

Bitcoin has retraced some of its latest recovery as its price has pulled back down to $107,900.

Bitcoin dipped below the $109K mark on Friday, triggering a minor retreat in the wider digital assets market. Traders watched closely as two large BTC wallets—dormant for years—moved a combined 20,000 BTC, roughly $2.18 billion, in a single session.

The flagship crypto is still up 85% over the past 12 months, but this sudden shift in supply briefly shook confidence.

Dormant Whales Move Billion‑Dollar Stakes

Based on reports from on‑chain tracker Lookonchain, one wallet that snapped up 10,000 BTC for $7,805 back in April 2011 moved its entire holding within hours.

That original haul, bought when Bitcoin traded at $0.78, is now worth over $1  billion. Moments later, a second address transferred another 10,000  BTC, taking the total to 20,000  BTC shifted in one morning.

That equates to a jaw‑dropping 140,000× return on the tiny initial outlay. Analysts caution it may not be a single individual behind both wallets, but the timing grabbed attention.

Another wallet of this Bitcoin OG also transferred out 10,000 $BTC ($1.09B) just now after being dormant for 14+ years.

14 years ago, $BTC was only $0.78 — that’s a mind-blowing 140,000x return! https://t.co/e2m8AunEMchttps://t.co/G0YXqPi4mK pic.twitter.com/E1fgGlYA4u

Political Push Comes As Bitcoin Hesitates

Lawmakers in the US are set to take center stage from July 14–18 for a “Crypto Week.” Three major bills will go under review in the House: the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, the Anti‑CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the Senate’s GENIUS Act.

All three measures aim to set new rules for market structure, stablecoins, and prevent a retail CBDC surveillance system.

House Financial Services Chair French Hill, Agriculture Chair Glenn “GT” Thompson, and Speaker Mike Johnson say they plan to deliver these bills to US President Donald Trump’s desk.

The goal is to build a clear rulebook for digital assets, though some fear the debate could drive fresh volatility.

Key Levels And Sentiment On Watch

Bitcoin rallied past $109K overnight before pulling back to trade around $108,700, at press time. The market sits less than $3,000 away from its recent all‑time high of about $112K.

Spot‑Bitcoin ETFs in the US continue to load up on BTC, and some corporate treasuries keep adding to their stacks. Yet macro factors—rising rates, bank sector worries, and global tensions—keep a bit of caution in the air.

Technical analysis shows Ethereum has just exhibited a failed golden cross on the 1-day candlestick timeframe chart. The golden cross is widely regarded as a bullish momentum signal. This technical formation, where the 50-day moving average climbs above the 200-day moving average, last occurred on Ethereum’s daily candlestick chart in December 2024 and resulted in an 18% surge.

This time, though, the story is very different. Rather than triggering another rally, Ethereum’s price action has been quite flat, which makes it difficult to imagine a break above $3,000 very soon.

Lack Of Follow-Through Shows Ethereum’s Weakness

According to technical analysis initially noted on the social media platform X, Ethereum recently exhibited a golden cross. However, according to the analyst, this was a failed golden cross, as Ethereum’s price barely moved when it happened on the daily timeframe. 

The analyst, who goes by the name Honey on the social media platform, noted that the lack of movement shows more profound issues in current market conditions, especially in terms of liquidity and sentiment. The golden cross should have injected life into Ethereum’s price action, but instead, it shows the absence of momentum.

Ethereum’s price performance following the crossover has made the pattern feel more like a false signal than what the golden crossover is mostly known as. The chart below shows that while the moving averages did cross, the price action around that moment was uneventful and even slightly bearish. This is a huge difference from what happened in December 2024, when the same pattern was followed by a quick upside push. Back then, Ethereum’s price surged by about 18% to touch $4,000 very briefly.

Return To $3,000 Might Take Longer Than Expected

The bigger takeaway is not just the failed breakout, but what it implies about the coming quarter. According to the analyst, this entire crypto market might witness a sluggish and choppy Q3, particularly if Bitcoin is below the $111,000 mark. 

In this environment, it’s difficult to imagine Ethereum making a clean run to the $3,000 milestone any time soon. The lack of momentum does not bode well for bullish forecasts, even though Ethereum has so far held its ground at support levels around $2,400. 

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,548, down by 2.1% in the past 24 hours. Data from CoinGecko shows that the leading altcoin reached an intraday high of $2,630 in the past 24 hours, but it has failed to hold up this momentum. For Ethereum to break out of its current zone and move to $3,000, it would need a wave of liquidity and confidence. 

This recent volatility is tough for Ethereum’s bullish prospects, but its long-term outlook is relatively strong. Interestingly, one particular analyst believes that Ethereum is going above $10,000 this cycle.

Bitcoin is facing renewed volatility as it struggles to break above the $112,000 all-time high. After weeks of consolidation near record levels, market participants are watching closely for a decisive move that could signal the next major trend. Bullish momentum remains intact, but hesitation at key resistance keeps both sides on edge.

Macroeconomic conditions are adding fuel to the speculation. The US Congress recently passed President Donald Trump’s long-awaited legislative bill—dubbed the “big, beautiful” bill—just ahead of the self-imposed July 4 deadline. In parallel, the latest job market data beat expectations, signaling a stronger-than-expected economy and boosting risk appetite across global markets.

In the derivatives space, CryptoQuant data shows that the 90-day change in open interest (OI) has turned negative—a historically significant signal. When this metric dips below zero, it often indicates capitulation among traders and forced liquidations, which tend to cool off leverage and reset the market for healthier price action. As Bitcoin navigates this volatile mix of technical resistance and shifting macro tailwinds, the coming days could be decisive in determining whether a breakout above $112K is imminent or if another correction lies ahead. Traders remain alert as the stakes continue to rise.

Bitcoin Inches Closer To Breakout As Bulls Tighten Grip

Bitcoin bulls remain firmly in control, but a decisive breakout into price discovery is still needed to confirm the next leg of the rally. After climbing 47% since its April lows, Bitcoin now trades less than 2% below its $112,000 all-time high. The market is heating up, driven by waning macroeconomic uncertainty, strong equities performance, and growing investor optimism.

However, with resistance so close, the next few days will be pivotal. A firm push above the all-time high could unlock a powerful expansion phase, while failure to break through may lead to a corrective retrace. Analysts are closely watching both technical and on-chain data to gauge the next move.

Top analyst Darkfost shared key insights into derivatives activity, highlighting the importance of tracking the 90-day change in open interest (OI). This metric gives a snapshot of how leveraged the market is. When the 90d OI percentage flips negative, it typically signals mass liquidations or capitulation among overexposed traders, resulting in a sharp drop in open interest.

According to Darkfost, these deleveraging events—especially during bull markets—have consistently created attractive opportunities to build long positions or dollar-cost average (DCA) in the spot market. They reduce risk by flushing out weak hands and clearing excessive leverage. With current data showing a recent dip in OI followed by stabilization, many traders view this as a potential reset ahead of a breakout.

As Bitcoin consolidates near historic highs, the stage is set. Either bulls push beyond resistance and into uncharted territory, or bears gain temporary control. For now, momentum favors the upside—but confirmation remains key.

BTC Price Action Remains Range-Bound Below ATH

Bitcoin continues to trade below the key resistance at $109,300, as seen on the 4-hour chart. After failing to establish a clear breakout above this level, the price has retreated slightly to around $109,010 at the time of writing. The zone between $108K and $109.3K has become a critical area of consolidation, with both bulls and bears fighting for short-term control.

The 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages are all trending upward and converging near the $106K–$106.5K region, providing strong dynamic support. Price remains above these moving averages, suggesting a bullish structure remains intact despite the recent stalling.

Volume has decreased during the recent leg up, hinting at potential exhaustion, but not necessarily a reversal. A retest of the $109.3K resistance or a breakdown toward the $106K–$105K support zone could occur before any decisive move.

The lower support at $103,600 continues to serve as a key level that, if broken, could signal a deeper retrace. For now, Bitcoin is in a tight consolidation range, and traders are waiting for a breakout above $109.3K or a breakdown below $106K to determine the next trend direction. Until then, volatility and uncertainty are likely to persist.

The long-standing and controversial question of whether Ripple payments could one day replace the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is gaining renewed attention in the crypto market. A prominent XRP analyst has highlighted a significant shift in the Ripple payment infrastructure that could represent a potential turning point in the crypto company’s bid to challenge SWIFT’s decades-long dominance in global cross-border settlements. 

XRP Analyst Unveils Ripple’s Latest Moves

In his latest X social media thread, crypto market analyst Pumpius explains how Ripple could eventually supersede SWIFT as a cross-border payment infrastructure and settlement layer for banks. The analyst highlights recent developments that continue to fuel Ripple’s growth and position it as a prime candidate for transforming global financial messaging. 

According to Pumpius’s report, Ripple has taken a significant step forward in its bid to transform the global financial system, as recent developments show deepening infrastructure integration. The XRP analyst disclosed that Ripple payments have officially integrated with EUR and GBP International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs), marking a critical evolution in its offering. This suggests that Ripple is no longer just processing payments, but enabling institutional-grade banking functionality within its ecosystem.

Through partnerships with OpenPayd, Ripple is granting financial institutions access to programmable dollar liquidity. OpenPayd clients can now mint and burn the Ripple on-chain stablecoin, RLUSD, in real-time. The XRP analyst has called this new development a faster and potentially more efficient programmable USD liquidity on demand. He highlights that this capability also unlocks automated FX, compliance solutions, and seamless cross-border fund movement. 

Pumpius describes Ripple’s latest developments as a game-changing moment for blockchain-based finance. Rather than acting as a parallel system, the crypto company is now positioning itself as a new banking layer, built entirely outside the legacy infrastructure, but fully equipped to serve its institutional clientele.  

How Ripple Could Replace SWIFT’s Legacy

Pumpius’s X report suggests that Ripple’s evolution isn’t limited to just speed or low-cost payments. The core technology behind XRP and Ripple’s APIs aims to replace key functions of the SWIFT network, which currently facilitates interbank financial messaging and settlements globally. 

The analyst notes that Ripple’s model delivers what SWIFT does not, including real-time foreign exchange, end-to-end automated banking APIs, instant stablecoin-to-fiat conversion, and settlements via XRP. What makes the potential transition from SWIFT to Ripple even more tangible is the live infrastructure now running behind the crypto payment company’s system. 

According to Pumpius, liquidity corridors are no longer theoretical for Ripple, but operational. The company’s stablecoin rails are also highly active, while XRP has evolved from its status as a speculative asset into being used for final settlements in real financial flows. Overall, the integration of IBANs and the launch of RLUSD make Ripple a direct competitor to SWIFT. And as the analyst notes, these developments are more than incremental signs of growth—they mark a potential turning point in Ripple’s goal to replace SWIFT.

Ethereum is sending a fresh jolt through the crypto market after a sudden upward move on Thursday, with its price finally reclaiming the key $2,500 mark once again. Bullish signals are presently aligning with this renewed strength, which points to a possible continuation of the notable rally.

Golden Cross Lights Up Ethereum Chart

Examining recent price performance, it is observed that the Ethereum technical landscape just came alive, reviving market optimism with a typical bullish signal. Melijn The Trader, a seasoned crypto expert and investor, reported this bullish signal in a post on X, which hints at a potential reversal of an upward trend.

Specifically, this key positive signal is a Golden Cross. A Golden Cross is considered a bullish indicator that occurs when the short-term moving average climbs above the long-term one. It is a crucial signal that is capable of flipping a trend from the downside to the upside.

According to Melijn The Trader, the golden cross has appeared in the 1-day time frame chart after a period of waning price action. This signal, in alignment with recent upswings, indicates growing momentum that is likely to pave the way for the next substantial rally to higher price levels.

Looking at the daily chart, Ethereum flashed the golden cross just a little above the critical $2,500 price mark. Melijn The Trader highlighted that this point is where bull markets tend to kick off, and history does not take it lightly.

Considering the fact that a golden cross is a bullish development, Melijn The Trader claims that ETH is currently sending a clear signal about a breakout to the upside. With prices presently rising and technical indicators flashing positive signals, the expert is confident that the next leg is not a matter of if, but when.

ETH Bounces After Retests Key Trend Line

Melijn The Trader has also delved into the 2-day time frame chart of Ethereum, revealing that the altcoin is gearing up for a rally. The analyst has identified a descending resistance trendline and an ascending support trendline, currently determining the next potential direction of ETH.

A look at the chart shows that Ethereum recently broke above the descending resistance trend. However, ETH failed to initiate a rally, which led to a period of consolidation within the $2,200 and $2,700 price range.

Currently, the altcoin just nailed a retest of the descending resistance trend line and has bounced perfectly off the line. ETH’s rebound from the trend line points to signs of rally continuation, with Melijn The Trader noting that this is where the next wave will begin.

While the altcoin prepares for a liftoff, the expert stated that the market is watching this key signal. However, only a few are positioned for the impending leg-up.

Bo Hines, executive director of the President’s Council of Advisors on Digital Assets, signalled that Washington is seriously considering a public-private partnership with US miners to expand the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve—without spending new federal dollars. Speaking with Marathon Digital Holdings chief executive Fred Thiel, Hines said that “a public-private partnership between the miners could be a phenomenal way to accumulate Bitcoin for the reserve” adding that the working group is “look[ing] forward to being part of that.

White House Considers Partnering With Bitcoin Miners

Created by Executive Order 14233 on 6 March 2025, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve directs the Treasury to amass BTC through budget-neutral means—principally by sweeping forfeited digital assets and deploying “creative solutions” to acquire more.

Hines said the inter-agency working group set up under that order is now examining mechanisms that would let industrial miners route a portion of fresh block rewards directly to Treasury custodial wallets, potentially in exchange for long-term power-purchase contracts or accelerated permitting. “We’ll work with Commerce, we’ll work with Treasury Secretary Bessent to find these creative solutions,” he told Thiel. “A public-private partnership between the miners could be a phenomenal way to accumulate Bitcoin for the reserve.”

Thiel, whose company operates one of the world’s largest fleets of ASIC rigs, noted that such a scheme would simultaneously increase US on-shore hash-rate and give the government a predictable pipeline of newly mined BTC. “One of the great opportunities—especially that solves two issues—helps the government accumulate Bitcoin and helps Bitcoin miners establish more hash rate in the US—is to partner with the US government,” he said. Hines agreed, replying, “Absolutely. We certainly look forward to being part of that.”

The conversation also centred on the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, which cleared the Senate Banking Committee lately with rare bipartisan support and is queued for a floor vote. Hines called the bill “really monumental,” emphasising that instant-settling, dollar-backed stablecoins would modernise payments and “secure our global dominance for decades to come.”

He predicted that regulated stables could propel total digital-asset market capitalisation to “15–20 trillion dollars” and channel new liquidity into Bitcoin once market participants can “move in and out of different asset classes at will.”

Pressed by Thiel on how large the reserve should ultimately be, Hines dismissed the question as “silly,” reiterating that officials would pursue every legal avenue to expand holdings: “We want as much Bitcoin as we can possibly accumulate.”

Notably, the Executive Order laid down an aggressive schedule: by April 5, 2025 (30 days after signature) every federal agency was to file both a legal-authority review and a full on-chain accounting of whatever Bitcoin or other digital assets it held; by May 5, 2025 (60 days) the Treasury Secretary had to deliver a legal-and-investment evaluation for managing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile.

None of the documents has been released. When asked about the silence, Bo Hines said last week that “there’s nothing in the order that mandates that the report becomes public,” but added the administration “could choose to make it public at some point.”

At press time, BTC traded at $109,034.

CoinCodex’s machine learning algorithm has predicted that the Dogecoin price could soon reclaim the psychological $0.2 level. This provides a bullish outlook for the foremost meme coin, which is down over 13% in the last month. 

Dogecoin Price To Record Double-Digit Gains And Rally To $0.2

The machine language algorithm predicted that the Dogecoin price would rally to $0.2 in the next thirty days, representing a gain of over 17% from its current level. Based on this prediction, DOGE is expected to reach this psychological price level in the first week of August. Next month could be a bullish month for the meme coin as the algorithm predicts that Dogecoin could rally to as high as $0.21. 

Meanwhile, CoinCodex’s prediction for the Dogecoin price this month is mixed as its machine algorithm predicts the meme coin could drop to as low as $0.164 this month. This price crash is expected to happen in the first half of July. Once that happens, the algorithm predicts that DOGE could then recover and rally to $0.2 by month’s end. 

A monthly close above the $0.2 level could provide some optimism, given how the Dogecoin price has performed over the last month. The meme coin also recently dropped to a local low of around $0.157, which put it at risk of retesting its bull market support band at $0.14. Crypto analyst Kevin Capital recently highlighted the $0.12 and $0.142 range as the key level to watch.

He warned that the Dogecoin price was at risk of dropping into its bear market structure, especially if its Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped below 38. However, he suggested that if DOGE holds these levels, it could outperform later in the year once the Fed begins to cut rates. 

DOGE’s Move Depends On BTC For Now

In an X post, Kevin Capital suggested that a major bounce from the Dogecoin price would depend on Bitcoin. This came as he noted that DOGE was looking to record another major bounce, just like the other times when it touched the 40 level on the weekly RSI. The analyst declared that a similar outcome to the previous touches could occur again if BTC can continue to rise. 

Indeed, the Dogecoin price had begun to rebound following the Bitcoin price’s latest climb to as high as $110,000. However, Bitcoin is again on the downtrend, which puts the foremost meme coin at risk of dropping to new lows. Kevin Capital remarked that a failure of this weekly RSI level at 40 would be the line in the sand between longer-term bearish price action or a continued bull run. Failure to hold between $0.144 and $0.127 could also determine what’s next. 

At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.17, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Just when the crypto market seemed like the bear market phase was about to begin, Bitcoin, the largest digital asset, has rallied hard, revisiting key price levels such as the $110,000 mark. As BTC’s price has surged sharply, whale investors are exhibiting significant optimism about the asset’s short-term prospects.

A Sign Of Bold Bets Among Bitcoin Whales

Bitcoin is riding a bullish wave following a renewed bullish market sentiment, causing its price to rise above the $109,000 level. Presently, whales are once again taking risks and increasing their long bets as the price of BTC undergoes a spectacular ascent.

This bullish behavior among whales or big investors was announced on the X platform by Alphractal, an advanced on-chain data analytics and investment platform. According to the on-chain platform, BTC whales are in full force of the trend.

The expert highlighted that these big investors’ aggressive long positions are constantly piling up while short positions are getting liquidated. Specifically, the aggressive positioning of major investors suggests that they have rekindled their belief in Bitcoin’s upward trajectory and are placing bets on even higher valuations in the future.

With BTC’s price rising and whales ramping up long positions, this paints a positive outlook for the flagship asset in the short term. In the meantime, a strong undercurrent of confidence is added to the market as these big players stack leveraged bets in favor of further gains, which might pave the way for the next explosive leg-up for Bitcoin.

Alphractal observed the development after examining the Whale Position Setiment metric. BTC Whale Position Sentiment is a key metric that monitors orders totaling more than $1 million. Also, the metric is considered one of the most powerful and alpha-rich indicators in the broader derivatives market.

The on-chain platform stated that the metric is frequently strongly linked to the price behavior of Bitcoin, as big investors control the majority of the global trading volume. Should this trend extend alongside a continued BTC rally, it could act as a springboard to a major rally, with the flagship asset reaching a new all-time high in the upcoming weeks.

BTC’s Price New Direction Is Upward

After a notable bounce, Bitcoin is now challenging key resistance levels as it surges to its current all-time high. Crypto Dan, a market expert and author, has shared insights on BTC’s recent move, claiming that the direction has already shifted toward an upside trajectory. “Looking at Bitcoin’s movements from last April to the present, it appears that the market direction has shifted upward,” the market expert stated.

Since April this year, the expert highlighted that US whales and institutions have been steadily reducing their selling pressure, as indicated by the red arrow on the chart. Meanwhile, their buying pressure is being maintained within the yellow box.

According to Crypto Dan, Bitcoin is currently in a consolidation phase where short-term overheating is being resolved. Although there is still a chance for a pullback, the expert claims that the overall market trend is still upward, underlining his confidence toward the second half of 2025.

Дональд Трамп продолжает свою экстравагантную внешнюю политику. Сначала она всех пугала, а теперь иногда даже воодушевляет. Сделку американского президента с властями Вьетнама криптоинвесторы восприняли вполне позитивно.

Bitcoin is once again testing a critical resistance zone, trading just below its all-time high of $112,000. After a strong rebound from June lows, bulls have reclaimed key levels and are now eyeing a decisive breakout into price discovery. However, the path forward is anything but clear. While sentiment remains broadly optimistic—supported by a favorable macro backdrop and renewed strength in US equities—Bitcoin must deliver a clear push above its historical peak to confirm the start of a new expansive phase.

According to data from CryptoQuant, futures markets are showing signs of hesitation. Bears have opened a large volume of short positions, betting against a breakout at current levels. Interestingly, despite this increase in short exposure, Bitcoin’s price remains stable, showing resilience in the face of selling pressure. This standoff between bulls and bears is likely to determine the direction of the market in the days ahead.

A clean break above $112K could trigger a wave of liquidations, fueling a rapid move into uncharted territory. Conversely, a failed breakout may invite a deeper correction. All eyes are now on this resistance zone, where Bitcoin’s next big move will be decided.

Bitcoin Consolidates Below All-Time High as Market Awaits Directional Move

Bitcoin is currently locked in a critical consolidation phase just below its all-time high of $112,000. For several weeks, price action has remained tight, oscillating between $103K and $111K, suggesting strong indecision among market participants. This prolonged sideways movement near the top of the range points to significant resistance, with bulls struggling to gain momentum and push the price into discovery.

Top analyst Axel Adler shared futures market data revealing that bears have opened a large volume of short positions, anticipating a rejection at the all-time high. Despite this bearish pressure, Bitcoin has shown remarkable stability, dipping only slightly from $110K to $108K in recent sessions. This resilience implies that while bearish bets are increasing, buyers remain active and willing to absorb sell pressure, keeping the structure intact for now.

The market is split. On one side, bullish analysts argue that Bitcoin is coiling for a breakout, and a clean push above $112K could trigger a surge driven by liquidations and renewed institutional flows. On the other hand, bearish commentators warn that the failure to break out could lead to a sharp correction, potentially dragging BTC below the $100K level.

With volatility compressed and macro conditions favoring risk assets, the coming days are likely to be decisive. A breakout or breakdown from this range will set the tone for the rest of the summer. Until then, Bitcoin continues to build pressure beneath its all-time high, with both bulls and bears watching closely for the next move.

BTC Tests Resistance After Failed Breakout Attempt

Bitcoin is currently consolidating near the $109,000 level after briefly pushing above short-term resistance at $109,300. As shown in the 12-hour chart, price action has been struggling to break through this level since early May, with repeated rejections forming a clear horizontal barrier. Despite multiple attempts, bulls have not yet been able to sustain a move above the range highs near $110K–$112K.

The 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs on the 12H chart all slope upward, with price currently sitting above all three—a positive sign of underlying bullish structure. However, volume has started to decline, which may indicate a weakening of momentum or a wait-and-see approach by traders ahead of a major move.

Support is holding around the $103,600 zone, which previously served as a key resistance and now acts as a base for potential upside continuation. The compression between $103K and $110K is forming a tight range, typically a precursor to a strong breakout.

If bulls manage to flip $109,300 into support, a retest of the $112K ATH looks likely. However, failure to break higher may invite renewed selling pressure, especially if short positions continue to build. The next few sessions remain critical for Bitcoin’s directional bias.

Автор книги «Богатый папа, бедный папа» Роберт Кийосаки (Robert Kiyosaki) назвал биткоин «вневременным активом», предположив, что первый президент США Джордж Вашингтон покупал бы биткоины — если бы криптовалюта существовала в XVIII веке.

US-based stablecoin giant Tether Holdings and South American agribusiness Adecoagro have teamed up to mine Bitcoin using excess clean power.

According to a release, Adecoagro will set aside part of its 230 MW renewable energy capacity for crypto mining. This move aims to give the firm a more steady outlet for surplus electricity and offer Tether a fresh, green mining site.

Energy And Bitcoin Join Forces

According to Adecoagro CEO Mariano Bosch, the company wants to stabilize a slice of its power sales by swapping spot‑market swings for a fixed demand channel.

The idea is simple. When wind or solar output tops what the grid can use, instead of cutting back, the extra juice will fire up Bitcoin rigs. That should help Adecoagro lock in prices and turn idle electrons into potential upside if Bitcoin climbs.

Tether Mining OS Goes Open

Based on reports, Tether isn’t just writing checks. The company will install and manage the mining hardware with its own site‑management software, Tether Mining OS.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, said the system will be open‑sourced soon. Mining farms from Europe to Asia could download the code, tweak it, and run cleaner operations. That push for transparency is a way to show critics that crypto mining can fit into a low‑carbon world.

Governance And Oversight

Since Juan Sartori sits both as Tether’s Head of Business Initiatives and Adecoagro’s board chair, an independent committee had to sign off on the deal.

Reports have disclosed that the group reviewed the terms to make sure neither side got an unfair edge. That extra check helps guard against conflicts in related‑party transactions and keeps investors on board.

For Adecoagro, the math is straightforward. Every megawatt not sold cheaply during midday solar peaks could instead crank out Bitcoin rewards.

Right now, the company could direct dozens of megawatts toward mining, and still feed enough power back to farms and towns. If Bitcoin holds above key levels, those mining profits may outpace selling on the spot market.

Tether sees more than energy value. The firm has been growing its footprint of sustainable mines in North America and Europe already. This partnership adds South America to the list.

Paolo Ardoino said it also serves as a blueprint: tap cheap green energy, run it through smart software, and share the results with the industry.

Совет по рынкам капитала Турции (CMB) ограничил доступ жителей страны к торговой платформе экосистемы Binance Smart Chain (BSC) PancakeSwap. Причиной власти назвали отсутствие у децентрализованной биржи лицензии на предоставление криптовалютных услуг.

Fifteen years after he first committed code to Bitcoin Core, Jeff Garzik still thinks the protocol will “outlast everything,” yet he no longer believes its flagship scaling project can keep pace with user demand. During a conversation with Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, the Hemi founder dismissed the Lightning Network as a “red herring” and laid out a roadmap in which programmable Layer-2s, not payment channels, bring the next billion users to BTC.

Bitcoin Lightning Is A Dead End

“Lightning is a failure. Very few people are using it, and it kept BTC locked on a bad sidetrack,” Garzik said, adding that the network “was a way to pump Lightning instead of alternate working solutions like layer-twos.” He pointed to hard numbers: “Look at the outcome. We have roughly 5,000 BTC on Lightning after seven years. Wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum alone is 25 × that. Capital has already voted.”

Garzik blames Lightning’s limited traction on what he calls Bitcoin’s “vetocracy”—a governance culture in which any one faction can veto consensus changes. That culture, he argues, has “o-ified” the base layer since the 2017 block-size stalemate: “Bitcoin development basically stopped after 2017. OP_CAT, covenants—perfectly safe opcodes—have been studied to death, but the politics won’t let them in. So builders left. They went where they could ship.”

According to the former Core maintainer, the flight is measurable. Public Lightning capacity hovers near 5,300 BTC, or roughly $500 million, while Wrapped BTC and related bridged tokens now exceed 130,000 BTC—over $14 billion in raw collateral. Node counts tell the same story: about 16,000 publicly visible Lightning nodes versus more than 600,000 addresses holding Wrapped BTC.

Garzik’s critique is philosophical as well as technical. He repeated a line that startled the live audience: “Bitcoin is a social network first and a monetary network second. Its value comes from people coordinating around it, not from any single line of code. But that same social layer can veto innovation, and that’s how we got stuck.”

Because the social consensus resists base-layer change, Garzik sees the future in sidechains like his own project, Hemi. The platform embeds a fully validating BTC node inside an Ethereum-compatible roll-up, secured by proof-of-proof mining and BitVM fraud proofs. Smart contracts can “read and act on Bitcoin Layer-1 without custodial bridges,” he said, calling the design “EVM trial-by-fire grafted onto Bitcoin super-finality.”

“All the things built in the past fifteen years—stablecoins, DeFi, identity—are coming to Bitcoin. The only question is whether Lightning zealots will stand in the way.”

Lightning proponents note that capacity figures exclude private channels and that routing revenues are beginning to attract professional operators. Yet even bullish research from Fidelity Digital Assets concedes that public capacity has plateaued between 4,400 BTC and 5,600 BTC since 2022, growing far more in dollar terms than in coins.

Garzik argues that stagnation is structural: “Lightning is great if you want to move a coffee-cup’s worth of Bitcoin at light speed. It’s useless if you want autonomous lending, derivatives, or billion-dollar settlement. For that you need programmable trust, and Lightning doesn’t have it.”

But Bitcoin Will Outlive Everything

Despite the criticism, Garzik underlined that BTC’s monetary role is secure. “Bitcoin will live alongside gold. It’s the trunk; everything else is the foliage,” he said. The inevitability thesis rests on network effects, regulatory clarity, and deep-pocketed holders such as sovereign wealth funds: “Every incentive in the system points back to Bitcoin. That won’t change.”

But inevitability, he warned, is not growth: “Bitcoin isn’t going away, but it isn’t upgrading either. If we want self-sovereignty for eight billion people, we have to extend programmability without compromising the asset the world already trusts. That means Layer-2s—and that means leaving Lightning in the rear-view mirror.”

Whether the broader ecosystem agrees may hinge on tangible metrics in the coming year: capital allocated to Lightning versus emerging BitVM roll-ups, node counts versus wrapped-BTC supply, and, ultimately, the fees users are willing to pay for each path. For now, Garzik’s message is blunt: Bitcoin’s future is assured, but Lightning is not.

At press time, BTC traded at $108,838.

V stredu 2.7.2025 došlo k spusteniu úplne prvého Solana ETF. Fond s názvom REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF od spoločnosti REX Shares sa začal obchodovať na americkej burze CBOE. Vďaka tomuto produktu môžu investori profitovať z rastu ceny SOL a zároveň získať pasívny príjem za staking.

Nejde tak len o historicky prvé Solana ETF schválené v USA, ale aj o prvé americké ETF s funkciou staking. Pozrite sa, ako prvý deň obchodovania hodnotia analytici a ako na spustenie ETF zareagovali najväčšie coiny v ekosytéme Solana.

Prvý deň obchodovania Solana ETF dopadol úspešne

Podľa Jamesa Seyffarta, analytika spoločnosti Bloomberg, zaznamenal nový Solana ETF fond na staking už počas prvých 20 minút objem obchodov vo výške 8 miliónov dolárov. Podľa Seyffarta tak išlo o „zdravý začiatok obchodovania“.

Fond nakoniec uzavrel prvý deň s prílivom kapitálu vo výške 12 miliónov dolárov a objemom obchodov 33 miliónov dolárov. Ako uvádza Eric Balchunas, ETF analytik rovnakej spoločnosti, objem obchodov výrazne prekonal aj Solana futures ETF aj XRP futures ETF.

Na druhej strane dodáva, že išlo o nižší objem, než pri spustení spotových ETF na Bitcoin a Ethereum. Len pre porovnanie, počas prvého dňa obchodovania Bitcoin ETF sa obchodovali podiely vo výške 4,6 miliárd dolárov.

Seyffart však uvádza, že za nižší objem obchodov môže do určitej miery aj skrátený obchodný týždeň, počas ktorého je obchodná aktivita všeobecne nižšia. V USA sa 4. júla oslavuje Deň nezávislosti. „Vidíme, že po týchto produktoch bude určite dopyt,“ dodáva analytik.

Trhová kapitalizácia na sieti Solana stúpla o 7 %

Spustenie Solana ETF spôsobilo okamžitý nárast ceny SOL o približne 2 %. Podľa zdrojov CoinMarketCap sa trhová kapitalizácia ekosystému Solana za posledný týždeň zvýšila o takmer 7 % s aktuálnym objemom 193 miliárd dolárov.

Celkový denný objem obchodov narástol za rovnakú dobu až o 35 %, čo svedčí o vysokom dopyte po digitálnych aktívach na sieti Solana.

Najvyššie zisky si pripisujú populárne meme coiny. Za posledných 7 dní narástol Bonk o viac ako 27 % a Fartcoin si pripísal 26 %. Hodnota meme coinu Dogwifhat narástla o takmer 20 % a PopCat si prilepšil o približne 23 %.

Zo spustenia Solana ETF profitovali aj AI tokeny. Príkladom je Virtuals Protocol, natívny token decentralizovanej platformy, ktorá umožňuje jednoduché spustenie AI agentov. Jeho cena narástla za posledných 7 dní o približne 14,5 %.

Význam integrácie AI a automatizácie obchodovania zaznamenáva tento rok v kryptosfére exponenciálny rast. Obchodníci čoraz viac siahajú po nástrojoch, ktoré im umožňujú efektívnejšie a pohodlnejšie obchodovanie a potenciálne vyššie výnosy. Jedným zo sľubných projektov v oblasti automatizácie kryptomenového obchodovania je Snorter Bot.

PlanB reinforced the prediction of a $500K Bitcoin by 2028 made in May, based on $BTC’s 4-year halving cycle.

The 2020-2024 cycle went against a price prediction of $55K, to only reach $34K, which was unexpectedly close, given the market’s performance and Bitcoin’s volatility.

This time around, PlanB’s projected Bitcoin price should push between $250K and $1M, with a likely average outcome of $400K-$600K.

To note: PlanB’s Bitcoin price prediction for the 2028-2032 halving delivers a mouth-watering $4M price tag. Is This Bitcoin Prediction Accurate?

PlanB’s prediction relies on the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, which assesses Bitcoin’s potential price by dividing Bitcoin’s current stock by the annual flow of the newly-mined supply. Based on this data, the price prediction should be fairly accurate, especially based on Bitcoin’s past performance.

Based on the S2F model, Bitcoin’s value should theoretically go up with each halving due to the increase in scarcity. As Coinglass puts it:

This model treats Bitcoin as being comparable to commodities such as gold, silver or platinum. These are known as ‘store of value’ commodities because they retain value over long time frames due to their relative scarcity.

—Coinglass, Stock-To-Flow Model

And, because Bitcoin’s scarcity factor goes up with each halving, we should expect $BTC’s price to go exponentially higher with each 4-year cycle.

This explains why PlanB’s 2028-2032 prediction has Bitcoin as high as $4M, almost a 10x jump from the current cycle’s prediction.

More importantly, Bitcoin’s price is influenced by numerous factors, aside from its cyclical halving, including financial and economical.

One such factor is Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill, which the US Congress just wrote into law, bringing notable changes like tax cuts and a larger deficit ceiling. While the Bill is facing both praise and criticism, one thing is for sure: it will likely cause Bitcoin to rally.

And if Bitcoin rallies, the entire crypto market will follow, including some of the best presales like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) to Upgrade Bitcoin’s Ecosystem for Faster Transaction Speeds and Lower Costs

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is Bitcoin’s official Layer 2 upgrade that aims to solve the most pressing problem with the Bitcoin ecosystem: its poor performance, limited to only 7 Transactions Per Second (TPS).

Bitcoin Hyper relies on two primary tools to bring Bitcoin’s performance to modern-day standards: the Canonical Bridge and the Solana Virtual Machine.

The Canonical Bridge mints a number of wrapped $BTC equal to the Bitcoins that the users deposit into the bridge, while the Solana Virtual Machine allows for lightning-fast smart contract execution.

These tools turn Bitcoin Hyper into a high-performance foundation that the Bitcoin ecosystem can keep building upon.

$HYPER is currently in presale since May 2025 and has accumulated over $1.9M so far. The token sits at $0.012125, but shows outstanding growth potential, based on Layer 2’s utility within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Our analysts predict a $0.32 $HYPER by the end of 2025 and a projected price point of $1.5 or higher by 2030. This means that, in 5-year time, $HYPER could deliver an ROI of 12,300% if you invest at today’s price.

If you want to support the project or you want a slice of the 409% staking APY, go to the presale page and buy your $HYPER today.

What to Expect From Bitcoin?

Going long on Bitcoin is the safest bet today, based on how the market looks in the current pro-crypto economical context. Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill alone has the power to push the Bitcoin bull into a chart rage and we’ll likely see it sooner rather than later.

And if Bitcoin rallies, everybody rallies, including new crypto presales like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).

Don’t take this as financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely.
