While the week started quickly in the cryptocurrency market, the start of "Crypto Week 2025" has become a sell-the-news event. Bitcoin (BTC) has retreated approximately 5% from its recent all-time high of $123,000. Similarly, leading altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) have lost value by between 3% and 8%.This decline in Bitcoin, in particular, has triggered a large-scale selling wave in the market. According to Coinglass data, a total of $681 million in positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours, $406 million of which originated from long positions. This market-wide pullback is driven not only by profit-taking but also by concerns about upcoming US inflation data. Massive Transfer from the Satoshi Era: $2 Billion in BTC MovementAmidst the market turmoil, another noteworthy development occurred: a Satoshi-era "Bitcoin whale" transferred approximately 18,643 BTC (worth approximately $2 billion) to Galaxy Digital. According to LookonChain, 2,000 BTC of these assets have already been transferred to exchanges like Bybit and Binance. This move is likely profit-taking. The relevant wallet reportedly still holds 80,009 BTC, with a current market value of approximately $9.46 billion. Such whale movements have the potential to increase market volatility and are closely watched by investors.Sharp Drop in AltcoinsAltcoins, which have seen double-digit gains in recent weeks, have also retreated, similar to Bitcoin. Ethereum has fallen below the $3,000 level, and XRP has fallen below the $3 psychological resistance level. In other words, it appears the sustained rally investors are anticipating hasn't materialized yet.Inflation data will be decisiveMarkets are now focused on the June Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data from the US. These figures are expected to be released tomorrow, July 16. Economists predict annual inflation will rise from 2.4% to 2.6%. If these forecasts come true, selling pressure on risk assets could intensify.Critical support zone for BitcoinAccording to Glassnode data, Bitcoin spot trading volume has increased by 50% since July 9, indicating growing investor interest. Specifically, 189,590 BTC were purchased in the $114,000-$117,500 range. This zone represents a strong support area for Bitcoin.Bitcoin is currently trading at $117,209. Although it has fallen from its recent peak, a roughly 9% rise since early July remains in place. Analysts predict that BTC could retreat to $115,000 in the short term before retesting $120,000.However, higher-than-expected inflation data could reverse this scenario. In such a scenario, the BTC price could fall to $110,000, temporarily ending the current uptrend.
Three major banking regulators in the United States have issued an important statement regarding banks' relationship with crypto assets. The Federal Reserve (Fed), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reiterated that banks must comply with existing laws and risk management principles when custodial crypto assets on behalf of their customers.The statement emphasized that the risks banks may face when offering crypto asset custody services should be carefully evaluated, just as with any other new product or service. The institutions clarified in their statements that this statement does not create any new regulatory expectations. Instead, it aims to remind banks of how existing laws and regulations should apply to crypto asset custody activities.Critical issues banks should be aware of include cybersecurity vulnerabilities, cryptographic key protection, and the management of sensitive data. The agencies' joint statement stated, "A banking institution planning to provide crypto asset custody services should consider the continuous evolution of the crypto asset market and the technology underlying these assets and establish a flexible risk management framework accordingly."Regulators also emphasized that effective anti-money laundering regulations, audit processes, software infrastructure, and governance controls are required to ensure these activities operate within legal frameworks."Crypto Week" has begunThis announcement came as part of the US House of Representatives' "Crypto Week." Various cryptocurrency-related bills are expected to be voted on this week, and comprehensive regulations are expected to take shape. The new legal frameworks aim to establish clearer rules for the cryptocurrency market.Meanwhile, US crypto policies are being reshaped with the change of presidency. The regulatory changes introduced by the Trump administration indicate a significant easing of restrictive regulations implemented during the previous Biden administration. Notable examples of these changes include the OCC's announcement in May that US banks could trade crypto assets for their own accounts, and the FDIC's lifting of the requirement for banks to provide advance notice for crypto activities.The appointment of individuals known to be crypto-friendly to the helm of regulatory bodies is another indicator of this political shift. Jonathan Gould, appointed to the OCC by the Senate last week, previously served as general counsel at Bitfury.The increasing involvement of banking institutions in the crypto space demonstrates the increasingly clear-cut nature of the US's approach to the crypto industry. However, regulators continue to emphasize the need for banks to exercise caution and effectively manage technology-based risks during this process.
BTC Technical AnalysisThe BTC chart displays two ascending trends, one of which appears in the lower zone since August 2024. The other one, located in the upper zone of the price, is the resistance trend coming from December 2024. The price of the coin is constantly improving its momentum with a new ATH level each time and testing the resistance around $117,000 - $121,000. This resistance level also intersects with the trend mentioned earlier.In times of such high volatility and strong momentum, trends like this can demonstrate divergence in the targets, both during bull and bear periods—and this is what we see today. The target of the pattern can be determined by the direction of the breakout. Looking at the Fibonacci levels, it can be said that the levels of $143,000 - $146,000 could be the next targets.Keep in mind that price pullbacks after such great price jumps should be considered healthy and important for creating opportunities. The levels you see on the chart are major support and resistance levels. BTC Current Outlook 🔼 Resistance Levels$121,745 → First strong resistance$127,877 → Middle-term target$136,949 → Upper zone resistance$143,667 → Main target🔽 Support Levels$117,945 → First support (key level)$111,800 → Middle-term support$107,353 → Deeper correction supportThese analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions.

Grayscale Investments, one of the cryptocurrency markets' most established digital asset managers, has taken a significant step toward initiating its IPO process. The company announced on Monday, July 15th that it has filed a confidential registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move joins Grayscale among crypto-focused companies seeking to list on U.S. exchanges.Grayscale files with the SECAccording to the company's statement, the number of shares to be registered as part of the IPO or the price range per share have not yet been finalized. These details will be determined after the SEC's due diligence process is complete and based on market conditions. Grayscale's IPO plan will be launched after receiving regulatory approval and when the market environment is favorable.The confidential filing is made possible by a special provision in U.S. capital markets legislation. This provision allows companies to conduct their pre-IPO processes without public disclosure. The same method has been used previously by Coinbase, Robinhood, and many other technology companies. Circle's success inspiresGrayscale's move signals a renewed IPO momentum in the crypto sector. Indeed, this development follows Circle's initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) last month. Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, launched its shares on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol CRCL on June 5th and quickly saw its share price surge by over 500%.According to Yahoo Finance, Circle's IPO gave the company a valuation of approximately $6.9 billion. This highlighted the significant potential for crypto-focused startups in traditional financial markets.Opening the door to new financing avenuesGrayscale's IPO not only brings prestige but also could open the door to new sources of capital. Among the advantages of being a public company are financial strategies such as selling shares on the stock exchange, issuing convertible bonds, and greater access to institutional investors. For example, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor used this strategy to fund his company's Bitcoin acquisitions. Similarly, GameStop attracted attention with its $2.25 billion convertible bond sale in June.Grayscale's move, along with the IPO plans of other major crypto companies like Kraken and Gemini, signals the start of a new IPO season in the sector. After a period of stagnation following the IPO excitement of 2021, markets are reviving as we enter 2025. It's not surprising that crypto companies are turning to Wall Street, especially at a time when regulatory uncertainty is diminishing and investor interest is increasing.
According to a new report from CoinShares dated July 14, crypto asset investment products saw net inflows of $3.7 billion last week. This was the second-largest weekly inflow ever, and the total assets under management (AuM) for crypto assets broke a record, reaching $211 billion for the first time.Strong regional inflows led by the USThe majority of weekly inflows came from the US, with $3.7 billion. Canada and Switzerland contributed more modestly at $17.1 million, and $65.8 million, respectively. However, Germany was notable with an outflow of $85.7 million. Sweden also saw an outflow of $15.7 million. Bitcoin and Ethereum are favored by investorsBitcoin was the most popular crypto asset last week, with $2.7 billion in inflows. This brings Bitcoin's total assets under management to $179.5 billion. This amount corresponds to 54% of the total assets held in gold ETPs and demonstrates the growing interest of institutional investors in Bitcoin.Ethereum also remained on investors' radars. Recording positive flow for the 12th consecutive week, ETH achieved its fourth-highest weekly inflow in history with $990 million. Data from the last 12 weeks indicates that Ethereum received new inflows equal to 19.5% of its total AuM, while this rate remained at 9.8% for Bitcoin.Altcoins are mixed: Solana rises, XRP suffersThe altcoin picture is mixed. Solana was the leading altcoin attracting investor attention with a strong weekly inflow of $92.6 million, while XRP was the biggest loser of the week with a $104 million outflow. XRP's outflow was one of the most notable figures.The situation for other altcoins is as follows:Sui: Notable with a positive flow of $3.5 million. Litecoin and Cardano saw small inflows of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.Chainlink saw limited outflows of $0.5 million.Short Bitcoin: Interestingly, with inflows of $0.4 million, there was also limited demand for short positions.Multi-asset products experienced a weak inflow of $1.1 million.Other assets: Despite seeing inflows of $2.1 million, they still have over $500 million in outflows since the beginning of the year. iShares and Fidelity Lead Among Fund ProvidersBy provider, iShares ETFs led the way with inflows of $2.43 billion. They were followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin F with $400 million and the ARK 21 Shares ETF with $339 million. Meanwhile, Grayscale Investments saw weekly inflows of $143 million, but stood out with outflows exceeding $1.5 billion since the beginning of the year. CoinShares XBT Provider, on the other hand, diverged negatively this week with an outflow of $16 million.
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.As highlighted in previous articles, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate strong upward momentum, reaching new all-time highs. As we start the new week, another ATH has been confirmed. That said, the potential for further records and even higher levels remains significant.On the Ethereum side, the rally has outpaced that of Bitcoin. For instance, while BTC gains 10%, ETH can move by around 20%. The current resistance at $3,072 represents a strong selling zone. A breakout above this level could pave the way for a move toward $3,500. However, if the price faces rejection here, the $2,880 support level will be critical to watch closely.Crypto NewsWhite House Economic Advisor Hassett: Trump has the authority to fire Powell if there's a legitimate reason.Trump: The US will impose a 30% tax on the EU starting August 1.The Czech National Bank acquired Coinbase shares in the second quarter.Former Fed member Warsh said the Fed should cut interest rates immediately and that a change of Fed chair would be a good thing.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:M → Up 50.7% to $0.56798979MOG → Up 29.5% to $0.00000166ENA → Up 27.3% to $0.37180338SNEK → Up 27.1% to $0.00275231B → Up 24.4% to $0.46838309Top Losers:USELESS → Down 6.5% to $0.27971634ZBCN → Down 6.0% to $0.00344617TKX → Down 4.1% to $12.12VENOM → Down 0.7% to $0.22752356USDY → Down 0.5% to $1.09Fear Index:Bitcoin: 70 (Greed)Ethereum: 58 (Greed)Dominance:Bitcoin: 64.65% ▼ 0.03%Ethereum: 9.97% ▼ 0.21%Total Daily Net ETF Inflows:BTC ETFs: $1.03 BillionETH ETFs: $204.90 MillionGlobal MarketsWe begin the week amid rising tariff tensions between the U.S. and the EU. The U.S. has announced it will impose 30% tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico starting August 1, prompting a retaliatory response from the EU; both developments weighing heavily on global markets. Adding to the uncertainty, the U.S. administration’s calls for Fed Chair Powell’s resignation and threats of dismissal have further increased market stress. This week, investors will closely monitor U.S. inflation data, U.S.–EU trade negotiations, and signals from the ongoing earnings season. The VIX volatility index, which remained subdued throughout most of last week, edged higher on Friday in response to the tariff news but still closed the week lower. This indicates that, for now, market risk perception remains relatively contained.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesNVIDIA (NVDA) → $4.02 trillion market capitalization, $164.92 per share, up 0.50%Microsoft (MSFT) → $3.74 trillion market capitalization, $503.32 per share, up 0.37%Apple (AAPL) → $3.15 trillion market capitalization, $211.16 per share, down 0.59%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.39 trillion market capitalization, $225.02 per share, up 1.24%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.19 trillion market capitalization, $181.31 per share, up 1.46%Borsa IstanbulThe domestic current account deficit fell below expectations at $0.7 billion in May.

As crypto markets reach all-time highs, large-scale purchases of Ethereum and Bitcoin are attracting attention. Sharplink, a gaming company led by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, and Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet not only observed this rise but also reinforced their crypto strategies with significant acquisitions.Sharplink Makes Strategic Ethereum PurchaseSharplink Gaming, a company operating in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming software space, added to its Ethereum treasury, purchasing approximately $49 million worth of ETH. According to Arkham Intelligence data, the company transferred 16,374 ETH to its wallet on Sunday afternoon. It was determined that these ETH were recently purchased from Galaxy Digital's over-the-counter (OTC) market. While Sharplink hasn't made an official statement, on-chain analytics platforms like EmberCN suggest the company has reached a total holding of approximately 270,000 ETH. This move comes on the heels of a purchase of 21,487 ETH, or $63.7 million, just days earlier.How did the Ethereum treasury strategy begin?Originally operating as a Minneapolis-based affiliate marketing and iGaming software company, Sharplink launched an Ethereum-centric treasury strategy at the end of May. This strategy was supported by a $425 million private equity sale led by Consensys, a company led by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. Lubin also serves as Sharplink's chairman of the board.The company positions ETH holdings not only as a financial instrument but also as a means of supporting the long-term strength and decentralization of the Ethereum ecosystem. CEO Rob Phythian clarified this in a statement, saying, "Ethereum is now Sharplink's core treasury asset."Last week, Lubin told CNBC that the company is "buying tens of millions of dollars of ETH every day," emphasizing the continued nature of this strategy. Share price on the riseSBET, the company's Nasdaq-listed stock, closed at $21.65 last week, a 17% increase following the announcement of a previous purchase of 10,000 ETH. This rise was also supported by the fact that ETH reached its highest levels since early February, approaching $2,981 in the market. However, the stock is still 74% below its all-time high of $82. In particular, the false news that Lubin and Consensys had sold shares on June 12 caused a significant collapse in SBET's value.Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation is facing investor backlash due to increased sales. Under the new treasury policy announced in June, the annual ETH sales rate was reduced from 15% to 5%. It was also stated that the sales would be conducted with greater transparency and in accordance with "DeFiPunk" principles. Metaplanet Expands Its Bitcoin StrategyWhile these developments are unfolding on the Ethereum front, Japanese investment giant Metaplanet made a major move on the Bitcoin front. The company purchased an additional 800 BTC for approximately $94 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to over 16,000. This latest purchase was made at an average of $117,000 per BTC. The current value of its total BTC holdings is $1.64 billion, and the company's 2025 performance has already yielded a 435% return.Metaplanet, which added 7,400 BTC to its balance sheet in the last month alone, is positioning crypto as a strategic reserve asset, following in the footsteps of institutional players like MicroStrategy. These aggressive purchases reflect the heavy inflows into spot ETFs and institutional interest. In fact, in the last seven days alone, the inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs has exceeded $2.7 billion. While Metaplanet shares haven't fully reacted to Bitcoin's meteoric rise yet, analysts say the share price has strong upside potential. Its decreasing mNAV (market capitalization/net asset value) makes it attractive to long-term investors.
A historic turning point is underway in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed $120,000 late Sunday night, reaching an all-time high. Increasing interest from institutional investors and regulatory changes to be addressed during "Crypto Week" in the US are among the key factors driving this surge.Bitcoin Reaches $123,000Bitcoin surged above $120,000 around 11:40 PM Sunday night, boosting the market. As of writing, it is trading at $123,036, a 3.32% increase. The daily inflow of more than $1 billion into Bitcoin ETFs is noteworthy. Currently, more than 6% of Bitcoin's market capitalization is held through ETFs. Furthermore, one of the most significant developments driving this surge is the CLARITY and GENIUS bills, which will be debated in the US Congress as part of "Crypto Week," which begins today. The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the jurisdiction of institutions such as the SEC and CFTC over crypto assets, while the GENIUS Act aims to establish the legal framework for dollar-denominated stablecoins. Furthermore, signals of a potential interest rate cut from the US Federal Reserve are among the other macro factors supporting the rise.Liquidations Break RecordBitcoin's rapid rise has also had a significant impact on futures markets. In the last 24 hours, $680 million worth of positions were liquidated in the crypto market. According to JrKripto data, $614 million of this came from short positions. The largest single liquidation was a $92.5 million BTC short position on the HTX exchange. This wave of liquidations wasn't limited to Bitcoin. Ethereum experienced a $68 million forced closure, XRP a $17 million closure, while altcoins such as XLM, PEPE, DOGE, and SUI also saw heavy trading volume. Bitcoin is now the world's fifth most valuable asset.Bitcoin's market capitalization has surpassed $2.4 trillion, surpassing Amazon, Google, and silver. Currently, only gold, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple have a larger market capitalization than BTC. Vincent Liu of Kronos Research describes this rally as an "infrastructure-driven" rally, adding: "ETFs, policy momentum, and abundant liquidity combined to create this picture."According to Liu, BTC could test the $130,000 to $150,000 range by the end of the year. However, reaching these levels will depend on whether retail investors re-enter the market.Altcoins are also on the riseThe Bitcoin-fueled rally led Ethereum to rise above $3,000, while XRP rose 4.82 percent to $2.91, and Solana rose 3.21 percent to $165.9. According to market analysts, this rally is likely to strengthen further in the coming weeks if ETF inflows continue and crypto-friendly regulations come from the US.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged 5% early Friday morning, surpassing $118,000 to reach an all-time high. Rising interest from institutional investors and strong inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs are among the primary drivers of this Bitcoin record. In the last 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin has climbed to $118,254, while Ethereum (ETH) also rose 7% to $3,000. The $1.18 billion inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday, in particular, marked the second-highest daily inflow since the launch of these products.BTSE COO Jeff Mei stated that Bitcoin's new high could be the start of a major bull run. Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, stated that a calmer macroeconomic environment and increasing institutional adoption are leading investors back into BTC. Liu also stated that the perception of Bitcoin as a "gold-like, long-term regulated asset" has reinforced institutional confidence.Presto Research analyst Min Jung also emphasized that expectations of a US interest rate cut and institutional investors' risk appetite are driving the increased demand for ETFs. Jung said, "We are observing more institutional investors, led by companies like Strategy, incorporating Bitcoin into their strategic asset allocations. The easier access provided by ETF approvals supports this expanding demand base."Many investors liquidated with the price increaseHowever, Bitcoin's rise wasn't limited to institutional inflows. A large wave of liquidations also occurred on the futures side. According to JrKripto's liquidation data, $1.26 billion worth of positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours, $1.11 billion of which came from short positions. This was the largest short liquidation so far in 2025. The largest liquidation occurred in a $88.5 million short position opened on the HTX exchange in the BTC-USDT pair. According to data, a total of 237,000 investors liquidated in this wave. Bybit led the way with $461 million in liquidations, followed by Binance and HTX. More than 92% of positions on Bybit were short. In leveraged trading, short positions are automatically closed when prices rise, which can create a domino effect that further accelerates the rise. Indeed, the recent price jump demonstrated the impact of this mechanism.Meanwhile, the US CPI data, due in mid-July, and expectations for an interest rate cut will be decisive for the market. According to analysts, the decline in macroeconomic uncertainty is increasing interest in crypto assets. Proposed legislation such as the GENIUS Act and the removal of restrictions on crypto broker taxes are seen as particularly positive for the market.
Move Technical Analysis$8 million MOVE has been unlocked today, which raises concerns as to whether it will have an effect on the price. This unlock was realized when the price was trading at a key support area. As a result, it is important to read the analysis below. MOVE signaled a strong price recovery to the level of $0.20 recently, yet this momentum could not carry on and the price was rejected from the resistance zone which intersected the downtrend. The price is again at the $0.1453 support and trying to hold at the lower boundary of the trend, and this zone previously worked as a strong support. However, the current price poses a risk of sell pressure as it is below MA50 and MA200 along with a death cross.The price may pull back to the support $0.1346 if this sell pressure goes on. This level is of great importance for the price. If broken downwards, the sell pressure is likely to increase, and then the price may go down to the levels $0.1200 and $0.1050 respectively. In terms of upward movements, $0.1560 would be the first resistance level the price will face. If broken upwards, the price may go up and test $0.1666 again. However, the price must close above $0.18 if the trend should change permanently.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, the user is responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during the transactions.
Crypto mining company BIT Mining has made a radical shift in its operations, shifting its focus to the Solana (SOL) ecosystem. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)-listed company announced plans to gradually accumulate SOL by raising between $200 million and $300 million.BIT Mining to exchange all of its cryptocurrency to SolanaAccording to the company's press release, BIT Mining will convert all of its existing crypto assets to Solana and adopt a long-term holding strategy. It will also operate validator nodes on the Solana network, contributing to the network's decentralization and seeking to generate income from on-chain staking rewards.BIT Mining CEO Xianfeng Yang described this strategic move as "a bold entry into one of the most dynamic and promising ecosystems in the blockchain world." Yang stated in his statement: “We are embarking on this new path to adapt to the changing industry and generate lasting value. We believe that with our robust infrastructure and long-term vision, we will accelerate sustainable growth for our shareholders.”The company's current operations include custom hardware design and hosting services for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum Classic mining. BIT Mining, particularly notable for its 7nm Bitcoin mining chips, currently ranks 17th in market capitalization among publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies. Following the news, the company's share price (BTCM) gained over 250 percent in pre-market trading on Thursday. This move makes BIT Mining one of the latest companies to join the institutional crypto treasury race. This strategy, pioneered by MicroStrategy, involves companies including digital assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and BNB on their balance sheets. BIT Mining's choice of Solana distinguishes it from companies like Bit Digital and BitMine, which are making Ethereum-focused moves. Meanwhile, two other mining companies with the "Bit" prefix have shifted their focus to crypto treasury strategies in recent weeks. Nasdaq-listed Bit Digital has completely transitioned away from Bitcoin mining and begun accumulating ETH. The company recently raised $173 million in capital, bringing its Ethereum reserves to over 100,000. BitMine, meanwhile, set out to increase its ETH holdings 16-fold with a $250 million private placement. Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee was among the investors, and Lee was also appointed chairman of BitMine's board of directors.BIT Mining's history is also noteworthy. In 2021, the company operated as 500.com, a China-based sports lottery service provider. At the time, the company was in the spotlight due to allegations of bribery against Japanese government officials. In April 2021, the company shifted its focus to crypto mining and changed its name. BIT Mining reached an agreement with the US Department of Justice and the SEC, agreeing to pay a total of $10 million in fines.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged following former US President Donald Trump's striking statements on interest rates. In a July 9th post, Trump stated that the Fed's current interest rates were "at least 300 basis points (bps) too high," arguing that delaying the rate cut would impose an additional $360 billion annual burden on the US economy. Just 30 minutes after this statement, the price of Bitcoin began to rise, quickly reaching $109,343. It then reached a record high of $112,000 on some exchanges. However, according to many platforms, it remained about $50 below the record high of $111,925.Trump's post created a ripple effect on the marketTrump's post on Truth Social created a ripple effect on the market. According to analysts, such an interest rate cut could lead to significant jumps not only in alternative assets like Bitcoin, but also in gold, stocks, and real estate prices. Macro analysis platform The Kobeissi Letter examined Trump's calculations in a detailed X (formerly Twitter) thread on the subject. Analysts noted that total US interest payments have reached $1.2 trillion over the last 12 months, emphasizing that this sharp interest rate cut could save approximately $174 billion in the short term, but its long-term consequences could pose risks to economic stability.According to Kobeissi, such an aggressive interest rate cut could cause a depreciation of over 10% in the US dollar, inflation exceeding 5%, and housing prices rising by up to 25%. However, in the short term, effects such as gold reaching $5,000, the S&P 500 index reaching 7,000 points, and oil exceeding $80 are also expected.Bitcoin surpasses $111,000; is a new record on the horizon?The technical momentum following Trump's statements caused the Bitcoin price to rise to $111,266 by the end of the day. While Bitcoin briefly broke records on exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Bitstamp, data providers like CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap indicate that the $112,000 peak, broken on May 22, has yet to be surpassed. Ethereum (ETH) also benefited from this upward trend. ETH gained 6% in the last 24 hours, reaching $2,795, its highest level in a month. Meanwhile, according to CoinGlass data, a total of $425 million in short positions were liquidated, highlighting the unexpected and powerful nature of the rally.Shares of publicly traded companies linked to Bitcoin also rose. MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose 4.4% to $414. Coinbase (COIN) shares saw a 5% increase, while Bitcoin mining companies MARA and Riot saw a nearly 6% increase.
Emirates, one of the world's leading airlines, is preparing to take a strong step into the world of cryptocurrencies. The company announced that it will offer its customers the opportunity to pay for flights and services with cryptocurrencies as of 2025. This important development was made official with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Emirates and global crypto platform Crypto.com on July 9.Emirates will start accepting cryptocurrency paymentsAs part of the agreement, it is planned to integrate Crypto.com Pay, Crypto.com's payment solution, into Emirates' global payment infrastructure. In this way, millions of Emirates customers will be able to carry out many transactions, from flight tickets to additional services, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Adnan Kazim, Emirates' Vice President of Commercial Operations, stated that this step is a strategic decision to both modernize the customer experience and catch up with innovations in digital finance. Kazim said, “This strategic move reflects our goal of offering our customers more flexibility and payment options, in line with Dubai's vision of being a pioneer in financial innovation.”Dubai has been on its way to becoming the “crypto capital of the world” with the steps it has taken in the field of crypto and blockchain in recent years. This vision, supported by both legal regulations and private sector collaborations, has also been reinforced with the Emirates-Crypto.com partnership. Although no details were given on the subject, according to the statements made, this partnership will not only diversify payment options; it will also encourage the adoption of cryptocurrencies with extensive marketing campaigns.Crypto.com President and COO Eric Anziani emphasized in his statement that this MoU signed with Emirates is an important milestone for daily crypto usage. “Working with a globally influential partner like Emirates will give great momentum to the cryptocurrency sector. Thanks to this integration, both Crypto.com and Emirates will be able to offer truly innovative financial solutions to their customers,” he said.Emirates, which currently serves 148 airports in 80 countries, is preparing to become one of the pioneers in the travel and aviation sector that accepts cryptocurrency payments with this move. Crypto integration, which we have previously seen in sectors such as real estate and telecommunications, is now spreading to traditional sectors such as airline transportation.
