Market Keeps Climbing

DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW

Institutional Demand Surges

👋 Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! The market’s showing no signs of slowing down. Bitcoin is steady, altcoins are gaining momentum, and institutional interest is reaching new heights. Let’s dive in.

🟠 Bitcoin Holding Strong Above $108K

Bitcoin continues to hold firm above $108,000, showing strong support even as altcoins begin to outperform. The market remains resilient, with bullish signs piling up.

BTC staying above $108K shows strength, but it’s the institutional flows that are truly breaking records. BlackRock’s IBIT spot Bitcoin ETF now holds over 700,000 BTC, the largest in the world. This marks a historic milestone just 18 months after launch.

Not stopping there:

Nasdaq-listed real estate firmMurano just kicked off a Bitcoin accumulation initiative, buying 21 BTC and securing a $500 million equity agreement with Yorkville, mostly aimed at more BTC buys.

✔️ Institutional conviction is rising. Big money is still flowing in.

🧊 Ethereum Steals the Spotlight

Ethereum is no longer playing second fiddle. After three straight months of Bitcoin buys, Michael Saylor’s Strategy paused its BTC accumulation this week. But Ethereum took the spotlight in a massive way.

Enter: Bit Digital

The Nasdaq-listed firm just sold all of its BTC and went all-in on ETH, dropping $173 million to acquire over 100,000 ETH, making it the second-largest public ETH holder, right behind Coinbase.

📣 CEO Sam Tabar went bold:

Shares of Bit Digital surged, pushing its market cap back over $1 billion.

And they’re not alone.

BitMine Immersion and SharpLink are also pivoting toward Ethereum, targeting staking yields, real-world asset tokenization, and infrastructure dominance.

While Bitcoin remains the king of scarcity, Ethereum is quietly positioning itself as the backbone of the next-gen financial system.

The narrative is clearly evolving.

👆️ Ethereum is on the rise.

Trump’s Truth Social filed to launch a Crypto Blue Chip ETF, which would track a basket of major crypto assets:

• 70% Bitcoin

• 15% Ethereum

• 8% Solana

• 5% Cronos

• 2% XRP

The inclusion of Cronos raised eyebrows and also sparked a 10% rally for the token.

🎯 Analyst Prediction For The Market

CredibleCrypto expects a major breakout for BTC with $150K targets, possibly between now and September.

Another outlook from Pentoshi sees a new all-time high for BTC as soon as this week, especially bullish on Ethereum leading the next leg.

🧠 Bottom Line: Sentiment across the crypto space is decidedly bullish. The momentum feels real.

🗓️ Looking Ahead

While macro conditions remain a key factor, institutional positioning, ETF news, and crypto-native developments are all lining up for a strong second half of the year.

Stay ready. The bull might just be stretching its legs.

Summary From The Top Influencers 📷️ 

Ivan On Tech – EXACTLY ACCORDING TO PLAN ($150,000 next) (08.07.2025 Summary)

In his latest video, Ivan lays out why he believes Bitcoin is heading toward $150,000, and why the move is unfolding exactly as expected.

Here are the key takeaways:

📊 Two Strong Bullish Signs

Ivan points to two patterns on the charts that suggest a major breakout is coming. While he doesn’t go too deep into the details, the bottom line is clear: both signals point to a move toward $150K.

🌍 The Bigger Picture Supports It

Ivan connects Bitcoin’s momentum to the global economy:

• The US is spending trillions and printing money fast

• Interest rates are high now but expected to drop

• These conditions usually drive investors toward assets like Bitcoin

He believes this environment makes a major Bitcoin rally not just possible but likely.

🏢 Big Buyers Are Already Moving

Companies like Metaplanet are stacking Bitcoin heavily. Ivan sees this as a sign that serious money is preparing for a long-term rise in value.

💰 Bitcoin as a Long-Term Asset

Ivan argues that holding Bitcoin over time can be more powerful than selling. He says smart holders can borrow against it or gradually use it without ever fully cashing out.

📉 Is It Too Late? Ivan Says No

Even at current prices, he believes Bitcoin is still “cheap” compared to where it's going. He compares it to past cycles where people thought $3K or $20K was expensive, before massive growth followed.

✅ Bottom Line

Ivan believes Bitcoin hitting $150K is just a matter of time. With strong signals on the charts, a supportive economic backdrop, and rising institutional interest, he’s more confident than ever in the next big move.

Bankless – Ethereum's Strategy to Win Over Wall Street (08.07.2025 Summary)

In this episode of Bankless, hosts speak with Danny Ryan (of Etherealize) and Joseph Lubin (co-founder of ConsenSys) about Ethereum's evolving strategy to reach Wall Street and the broader financial system.

Both are taking different but complementary paths to bring ETH into traditional finance and reshape the future of money.

🏛️ Two Strategies to Bring ETH to Finance

• Danny Ryan is advising institutions directly through Etherealize, helping banks and large firms understand Ethereum's benefits, especially decentralization, uptime, and the lack of counterparty risk

• Joseph Lubin is taking a “MicroStrategy-like” approach, putting ETH on the balance sheet of his company ESBETH as a long-term treasury asset

🛡️ ETH and the SEC: A Legal Battle Behind the Scenes

Both guests shared that the Ethereum ecosystem has been under pressure from U.S. regulators, including a period where the SEC appeared to quietly reclassify ETH as a security

• Danny revealed he was served by the SEC just days after stepping back from the Ethereum Foundation

• Lubin explained this pressure is what led him and ConsenSys to take legal action against the SEC, not just to protect their interests but to defend the broader Ethereum community

🌐 Why Ethereum Is Gaining Institutional Interest

• Traditional institutions are warming up to Ethereum, not just despite its decentralization but because of it

• Banks and major players are realizing that decentralized networks like Ethereum reduce counterparty risk, offer more uptime, and provide credible neutrality

🧱 From Infrastructure to Real Use Cases

The Ethereum ecosystem has spent years building powerful infrastructure, but now it’s time to deliver real-world products and solve real-world problems

• Danny and Joe both stress that Ethereum is entering a new era of focus, execution, and user adoption

• The Ethereum Foundation has restructured internally to reflect this shift, bringing in new leadership to support faster progress

📈 What Comes Next

Joseph Lubin believes we're entering a global race to accumulate "high-powered money" and sees ETH and BTC as the front-runners. His company plans to keep buying and staking more ETH, with hopes to grow ESBETH's treasury past $1 billion by year-end

🔑 Key Takeaway

Ethereum is no longer just a tech project. It is becoming a serious contender in global finance, thanks to years of careful decentralization, growing institutional interest, and leaders like Danny and Joe pushing it forward in the real world
