Bitcoin ETF Recap: Another Tough Week Despite a Few Bright Spots

The last trading day of the previous business week finally brought some more net inflows rather than consistent outflows for the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. The products tracking the world’s largest altcoin had even more to celebrate at the end of the week, but still closed in the red. There’s no need to sugarcoat the end result – the week was still dominated by the bears. Investors pulling out funds from the spot Bitcoin ETFs withdrew $526.64 million throughout the four-day trading week. This means that the overall negative streak continues as the products have not seen a single green week in almost two months. Within this timeframe, the total cumulative flows have dumped from $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion. July 1 saw the most daily withdrawals, with $294.62 million leaving the funds, according to SoSoValue data. Another $222.64 million went out on June 30 and $231.10 million on June 29. That’s all on the negative side. The bright side was July 2. After 10 consecutive days of only net inflows, the streak was broken as investors poured in $221.72 million. Moreover, this was the highest single-day inflow recorded since May 5. Friday was a non-trading day due to the July 4 holiday, meaning that the week ended on a more positive note. The daily performance of the financial vehicles tracking ETH was even more promising. The Ethereum ETFs saw more modest $30.04 million withdrawals on June 29 and $27.60 million on June 30. However, the tides turned during the next two business days. Investors poured in $14.89 million on Wednesday and $29.08 million on Thursday, marking a near-monthly high. Nevertheless, the week still ended in the red, with total net outflows of $13.67 million. As such, the negative streak of the Ethereum ETFs continues, with eight straight weeks in the red. The total cumulative flows are down from $12.09 billion in early May to $10.89 billion on Thursday. On the more positive side, though, it was a lot less harmful than the $273.34 million taken out during the previous business week.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Break Its Downtrend and Target $2.2K?

Ethereum has extended its recovery over the past several sessions, breaking above its recent consolidation range and approaching a major confluence resistance area. The rally has improved short-term sentiment, but the market is now testing a zone that could determine whether this move develops into a broader trend reversal or remains a relief rally within the prevailing downtrend. Ethereum continues to recover from the $1.46K-$1.53K demand zone, where buyers once again stepped in after defending the June lows. The rebound has now carried price toward the descending trendline that has capped every major rally since the May peak. The recent advance has also reclaimed the $1.70K area, placing ETH just below the next key resistance cluster around $1.82K-$1.86K. This region is particularly important because it aligns with the long-term descending trendline, creating a significant technical confluence. Momentum has improved considerably. The previously discussed bullish RSI divergence has continued to play out, with the indicator making higher highs while price has recovered sharply from support. This suggests bearish momentum has weakened substantially compared to previous sell-offs. Nevertheless, the broader trend cannot be considered bullish until Ethereum breaks above the descending trendline and reclaims the higher resistance band. A rejection from this area would preserve the sequence of lower highs that has defined the market for the past several months. The 4-hour chart shows that Ethereum has successfully broken above its short-term consolidation and reached the first resistance zone around $1.70K-$1.74K. Buyers have maintained strong momentum following the breakout from the lower range, allowing the price to approach the upper boundary of the descending structure. Price is now trading just beneath the falling trendline that has repeatedly rejected previous recovery attempts. A decisive breakout above this trendline would represent the first meaningful structural improvement since the broader decline began and could open the door for a move toward the $1.82K-$1.86K resistance area. As long as Ethereum remains above the recently reclaimed $1.70K region, buyers retain short-term control. However, failure to overcome the descending trendline could trigger another rejection, sending price back toward lower support levels and extending the broader corrective structure. The one-month liquidation heatmap highlights a significant concentration of leveraged positions above the current market price, particularly within the $2K-$2.2K region. These overhead liquidity clusters could act as a magnet for price in the coming sessions. If Ethereum successfully clears the descending trendline and continues its recovery, the market may accelerate toward this area as short liquidations fuel additional upside momentum. However, the reaction after such a liquidity sweep may prove even more important than the rally itself. Once the $2K-$2.2K liquidity has been absor

Bitcoin (BTC) Flashes 3 Bullish Signals: $65K Incoming?

After several weeks of lackluster performance and a slide to its lowest level since 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) has finally staged a decisive comeback. The popular analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the resurgence and spotted three bullish factors that could push the price beyond $65,000 in the short term. The primary cryptocurrency recently surged past $62,500, fueled by geopolitical de-escalation in the Middle East and a long-awaited return of ETF inflows after several weeks dominated by outflows. The analyst noted that BTC’s 12-hour chart has flashed a cluster of bullish technical cues across several key metrics, suggesting additional upside may be on the horizon. He first pointed out the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator, which has printed a buy signal. Earlier this week, the analyst emphasized that this metric (when viewed on the monthly timeframe) triggered a synchronized bullish call across BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL. “Historically, when multiple assets lock in concurrent monthly buy signals, it indicates seller fatigue and a high probability of a long-term market bottom,” he explained. The second positive sign Martinez touched on is BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has printed a bullish divergence against the underlying price action, while the third is the SuperTrend indicator, which signaled a trend shift. “If these combined indicators receive validation through sustained spot volume, the immediate target for BTC sits at $65,400 – aligning with the TD setup resistance trendline,” he concluded. Numerous market observers share Martinez’s bullish outlook, noting that the cryptocurrency has performed quite well in the current month. X user cyclop, for instance, noted that BTC has historically posted double-digit gains in July during bear markets. The recent whale behavior also reinforces the positive scenario. X user Max Crypto revealed the case of a big investor who opened a $66 million long on BTC that will be liquidated if the price dips to $59.395. Whales are known as experienced investors who rarely jump on the bandwagon, relying purely on their instincts, and their actions could infuse enthusiasm among smaller players, prompting them to allocate fresh capital to the ecosystem. Of course, one must tread carefully and keep in mind that the crypto market remains shaky, meaning a renewed pullback in the short term is just as plausible.

Major Binance Announcement Concerning Many Users: Details

The world’s largest crypto exchange has run into serious trouble with EU financial regulators, and the uncertainty has triggered concern among its user base. Despite its issues in Europe, however, Binance has strengthened its global presence after officially entering the Philippines. Several hours ago, Binance’s co-founder and chief customer service officer, Yee He, revealed the news on her personal X account. She cited a document stating that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted final approval to Blockshoals Technologies Inc. to begin testing its financial products and services within the watchdog’s regulatory sandbox. Under the crypto-asset intermediary model, the Blockshoals Stratbox will give Filipino users access to a range of offerings provided through its global CASP partner Binance. The development was also highlighted by Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who shared He’s post and said: “Real liquidity for Philippines.” Some users described the expansion into the Asian country as a solid win for crypto adoption, while others were less supportive, claiming the news is only meant to shift attention away from the company’s problems in the European Union. The exchange recently decided to withdraw its MiCA license application from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) in Greece, leaving it without the necessary approval to operate in the EU after July 1. Binance assured its local users that their assets are safe and asserted that Europe remains an important region for its operations, adding that it hopes to obtain the permit in the coming months. Meanwhile, some clients have revealed on X that they have received withdrawal instructions from the company, while others appear unaffected for the moment. Adding to its regulatory challenges in Europe, a group of 1,700 UK investors has filed a collective lawsuit in London’s High Court targeting Binance and CZ. The claimants argue that the exchange offered unregulated products and led to severe financial losses. The lawsuit also accuses Binance of failing to provide adequate protection for its clients.

Open USD Membership Claims Challenged After Samsung, Others Dispute Participation

Several major South Korean companies have said they have not formally joined the newly announced Open USD (OUSD) consortium, despite being listed among its participating organizations. Open Standard, the independent entity behind the stablecoin, previously said it had assembled over 140 businesses to launch OUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, later this year. The lineup featured some of the world’s largest companies across multiple industries, such as Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google, Ripple, and Standard Chartered, among the high-profile names. The list of South Korean participants included Samsung Electronics, Dunamu, Shinhan Financial Group, KakaoBank, K Bank, Hyundai Card, KB Kookmin Card, BC Card, Hana Card, Samsung Card, Woori Card, NH Nonghyup Card, and Hanwha. However, several of those companies have now disputed the nature of their involvement. According to a report by Chosun Biz, a Samsung Electronics representative told the publication that there had been no official discussions with the OUSD issuer and that the company did not know what role it would play in the consortium. Meanwhile, Shinhan Financial Group, Dunamu, and K Bank similarly said Open Standard had only asked whether they were interested in participating in OUSD and that they had simply responded that they would review the proposal. Their names were reportedly later included in the consortium list despite no formal commitment. One company representative also said the firm only discovered it had been identified as an alliance member after reading domestic media reports. The representative added that the company had merely indicated it would consider participation if circumstances aligned and was puzzled to find itself listed as a member. The report was later echoed by the founder of digital asset firm Pointsville, Gabor Gurbacs, who said he spoke with several companies listed in the OUSD consortium, and they told him they had never signed or agreed to participate. He added that either the media had significantly distorted the situation or the published participant list was misleading. The claims also prompted debate across X. One user described listing companies before deals are finalized as a “classic legitimacy-borrowing” move, while another said the situation represents a major credibility risk.

Bitcoin Recovers Toward $62K as ETF Inflows Return and Trump’s BTC Holdings Make Waves: Weekly Crypto Update

Although July has only just begun, the past seven days brought some much-needed and long-awaited relief to the cryptocurrency market, even if the overall sentiment remains nothing but fragile. Last week at this time, Bitcoin was still struggling around the $60,000 mark after the painful correction that was charted in June. The cryptocurrency spent the weekend moving mostly sideways, as neither bulls nor bears managed to take control. The real action only started at the beginning of the business week. BTC attempted to recover, but was quickly rejected near $60,700, which allowed the sellers to push it lower. The pressure intensified on Tuesday, when Bitcoin, alongside the majority of the broader market, including the S&P500, the Nasdaq, as well as major tech stocks, took a beating. BTC dumped below $59,000 and slipped toward $58K on some exchanges, marking its intraweek low. However, that support held firm. The cryptocurrency bounced back and quickly reclaimed $60,000. Later, it pushed toward $62,000 as buyers returned and spot Bitcoin ETFs finally saw renewed inflows after a brutal streak of outflows. Altcoins were also able to follow, and some of them even marked sharper increases. ETH recovered strongly and moved back toward $1700, while SOL was among the best performers with a double-digit weekly jump. XRP, DOGE, ADA, XLM, and HYPE also joined the rebound, helping the total crypto market cap recover some of its recent losses. The week was also packed with some major headlines. Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed that he holds more than $50 million in Bitcoin, reigniting strong debates. FBI Director Kash Patel also amended a disclosure that was associated with Strategy’s stock, while Securitize made its NYSE debut and launched tokenized shares on Solana and Avalanche. Overall, the bulls were finally able to stop the bleeding. However, this doesn’t mean that the worst is over. BTC still needs a decisive breakout above pivotal levels around $70K to prove that this was more than just a slight dead cat bounce. Market Cap: $2.22T | 24H Vol: $66B | BTC Dominance: 56% BTC: $62,000(+2.7%) | ETH: $1,731 (+9.6%) | XRP: $1.12 (+7.2%) Tokenized Stocks Emerge as Altcoin Lifeline Amid Crypto Market Reset. A new report argued that tokenized stocks are becoming one of crypto’s few bright spots, as persistent token unlocks and weak altcoin narratives continue to wear speculative assets down. The analyst also outlined that Solana is currently dominating tokenized equity trading alongside Hyperliquid’s HIP-3. Why Bitwise’s Matt Hougan Thinks Strategy’s Bitcoin Era Is Fading. The CEO of Bitwise, Matt Hougan, said that Strategy’s role as one of the largest corporate buyers of Bitcoin is likely going to fade, especially as the next cycle could be led by institutions such as banks, asset managers, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds.

Tokenized Stocks Emerge as Altcoin Lifeline Amid Crypto Market Reset

Tokenized stocks are gaining attention as one of the few areas still attracting capital, with financial services provider BIT arguing in a July 3 report on X that the sector is becoming a rare bright spot as traditional altcoin narratives continue to weaken. The view reflects a wider change across crypto markets, where investors are paying closer attention to projects tied to real-world assets instead of speculative tokens that are facing heavy selling pressure. According to the analyst behind the BIT report, the crypto market is going through a structural change after years of relying on meme coins and DeFi tokens as well as new narratives to attract capital. More than $111 billion worth of token unlocks have entered the market in the last two years, averaging around $700 million every week, and per the report, that persistent supply overhang has suppressed retail participation and put pressure on prices. This pressure worsened by the changing nature of crypto rallies, with the average uptrend in a coin in 2024 lasting about 61 days, while the same in 2025 dropped to just 19 days. And that’s not all. Institutional players with ETF flows and corporate reserves have largely channeled their capital into proven assets like Bitcoin (BTC), leaving the market’s long tail of speculative tokens high and dry. Since spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, BTC has returned almost 260% for the average crypto hedge fund, with BIT arguing that the old altcoin playbook is no longer producing the same results. For context, the Altcoin Season Index is currently at around 54 out of 100, well short of the 75 that is usually considered the signal for a genuine altseason. Against this backdrop, exchanges have been looking for new growth engines, with BIT’s independent analyst believing that tokenized stocks are creating a new area of demand. They highlighted Solana as the leading blockchain for tokenized equities, as it accounts for 95% of global trading volume in the category. According to the post, projects like Jupiter and Jito are potential beneficiaries as they sit across different parts of the tokenized equity infrastructure. Others include Ondo, Hyperliquid, Backpack, and Pyth, with Ondo alone surpassing $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) in less than 8 months. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s perpetual stock products now account for more than 35% of trading activity on its platform. Looking at recent industry announcements, you can see that crypto exchanges are piling in on tokenized equities. For instance, Coinbase said in June that it would launch tokenized trading for non-US customers, backed 1:1 by the underlying asset with full shareholder rights, including dividends, while Binance introduced bStocks on the BNB Chain. Other players, such as Kraken and Bybit, already list dozens of xStocks for spot trading. Recall also that earlier this year, Jupiter and Ondo Finance announced plans to bring more than 200 tokenized US stocks and ETFs to Solana through Ondo Global Markets

Worrying Ripple and Ethereum Signals, Recent Pi Network Updates: Bits Recap July 3

The cryptocurrency market has shown signs of a revival over the past few days, yet Ripple’s XRP and Ethereum (ETH) still don’t seem to be out of the woods. Pi Network unveiled three new features during the highly anticipated Pi2Day, but the project’s native token has failed to stage a decisive recovery and has even plummeted to a new all-time low. Ripple’s cross-border token is down 11% for the past month and is currently trading at around $1.10 (per CoinGecko). Meanwhile, several factors suggest that the bears still haven’t had the final say. As CryptoPotato reported, the spot XRP ETFs experienced two consecutive red days for the first time since March. This reflects waning institutional interest that could put further downward pressure on the price. Additionally, XRP’s 30-day MVRV has dropped to -45%, while its 365-day MVRV stands at -47%, indicating that investors are seeing some of the weakest average returns in the asset’s history. This development hints at extreme fear and frustration among holders, which, ironically, has historically marked the arrival of the cycle bottom. The popular analyst Ali Martinez has reignited bullish hopes, pointing out that XRP’s SuperTrend indicator has flashed a buy signal. The second-largest cryptocurrency recently plummeted to as low as $1,500, yet in the last few days the bulls reclaimed some of the losses, and it currently trades at around $1,720. The concerning thing around ETH is that it closed Q2 in the red, which marked the third consecutive quarter with losses: something unseen until now. Analysts see the asset at a pivotal moment, with its short-term direction tied to a potential break above key thresholds. X user Ted claimed that ETH needs to reclaim the $1,700-$1,750 range for “any strong upside”; otherwise, it will drop towards yearly lows again. For his part, Sjuul | AltCryptoGems thinks the asset is in “deep trouble,” where the best long opportunities are presented. PI’s community celebrated Pi2Day on June 28 and had been expecting major ecosystem developments to be delivered on that day. The Core Team did not stay silent, unveiling SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify – tools designed to expand the ecosystem beyond native apps and into AI, digital identity, and third-party services. Instead of a price rebound for PI, though, the announcement triggered a classic “sell the news” effect, and the token’s price tumbled to a new all-time low of around $0.11. As of press time, the coin trades just south of $0.12, representing a minor 1.5% increase for the day, reflecting the overall resurgence of the crypto market. Meanwhile, certain bullish elements, such as PI’s RSI drop to oversold territory and the less aggressive token unlocks, suggest that a more substantial pump might come next.

Perplexity Co-Founder: AI Safety Is an Excuse to Lock Down Frontier

Perplexity AI and Databricks co-founder Andy Konwinski thinks the AI safety conversation has a problem: It's being used to concentrate power, not prevent harm. Earlier this week, he published an essay making his case, with Anthropic as the star witness. The case he builds starts with a decision Anthropic reversed in 48 hours. When Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 on June 9, a paragraph buried in its 319-page system card disclosed that the model would silently degrade its own responses for anyone it suspected of training a competing AI. Researchers found it. The internet did not take it well. Anthropic walked it back, but for Konwinski this makes no difference when analyzing the bigger picture. "The problem isn't that Anthropic made a bad decision," he wrote. "The problem is that they assumed the decision was theirs to make." His essay, titled "Concentration of power in AI is a risk, not a solution," followed Open Frontier, a working meeting he convened through his nonprofit Laude Institute at San Francisco's Exploratorium on June 30. About 100 researchers showed up. — Andy Konwinski (@andykonwinski) July 2, 2026 UC Berkeley dean Jennifer Chayes, who runs the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, told a funding panel that Berkeley researchers are "all building on Chinese models because we don't have a Western open frontier model"—and that the safety messaging from OpenAI and Anthropic ahead of their IPOs amounted to a "very effective fear campaign." Konwinski's argument is that centralizing access doesn't neutralize risk; it creates a different one. AI is foundational infrastructure—in the same category as railroads, electricity, and the internet. Those technologies reorganized society around whoever controlled the underlying layer. The same is coming for AI. His alternative: a research commons with frontier-scale compute that lets top researchers reach the frontier without needing permission from a private lab to do it. Yann LeCun, Meta’s former chief scientist, replied to Konwinski's essay on X with no ambiguity. "I've been disseminating a similar message for years,” he replied on Konwinski’s post. “The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI." Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years. The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to… — Yann LeCun (@ylecun) July 3, 2026 He also had a historical comparison ready. "It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes," LeCun wrote. LeCun’s prediction for where this ends: "Infrastructure wants to be open. Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized.

Inside the Trading Engine Behind ChangeNOW’s ‘Fast, Seamless Swaps’

Open ChangeNOW and a crypto swap looks like the simplest thing in the world: pick two tokens, send one, receive the other—a process the non-custodial exchange says usually completes within minutes, across more than 110 blockchains including ETH, BSC and SOL. It’s quick, streamlined—and, according to Chief Strategy Officer Pauline Shangett—underpinned by layers of dedicated infrastructure, supporting more than 70 fiat options and over 1,500 digital assets, with more added weekly. ChangeNOW is “a trading engine that a lot of people can access all at once,” Shangett said. The platform, she explained, acts as a middleman between the user and a centralized or decentralized exchange, executing trades on a client's behalf "without the client having to watch over things like the order book, transaction fees and complicated interfaces." That engine leans heavily on its own inventory. Shangett said ChangeNOW "mostly operates in our own liquidity when it comes to swaps," pricing trades off exchange order books it sources liquidity from, market-data feeds such as CoinMarketCap, and an in-house "liquidity engine" of wallets holding balances for specific pairs. Running off its own reserves, she argued, means "network speed is not as much of a liability as it could be." In a recent benchmark by swap aggregator Swapzone, drawing on 150,000 transactions, ChangeNOW's median settlement for a USDT-to-ETH swap clocked in at under a minute, against an industry median of around 45 minutes. Of course, such comparisons hinge on the pairs and conditions tested, with ChangeNOW offering swaps across a wide range of tokens including meme coins, AI coins, DeFi, GameFi, stablecoins, privacy coins, DePIN, and RWA. Fiat currency support operates through “trusted partners” including Transak, Simplex, Banxa, and Guardarian, enabling ChangeNOW users to buy crypto with Visa, MasterCard, Google Pay, Apple Pay, FasterPay, Sepa, Pix, ACH, and Revolut. ChangeNOW has rolled out a set of new tools that extend its offering beyond simple swaps. Private transfers route a transaction so the sender's wallet address and on-chain trail aren't exposed to the recipient, while still maintaining AML monitoring in the background. Users can also generate a Permanent Exchange Address that provides a fixed, reusable deposit address that automatically converts any incoming crypto into a preselected payout coin, aimed at recurring conversions. Meanwhile, a new crypto payment link lets users spin up a shareable link to request or accept payments in Bitcoin, stablecoins, and more than 100 other assets. And a prediction markets hub pulls popular markets across crypto, politics, finance, and pop culture into one place to track and compare. Prediction markets turn future events into live prices. Our new overview breaks down how YES/NO contracts work, why prices act like probability forecasts and why platforms like Polymarket, Kalshi and Robinhood are getting attention.
