Market-Moving News
This week's biggest signals didn't scream from the charts—they slipped in under the radar.
A massive bet on Bitcoin's future, a sudden NFT revival, and a regulatory shift pulling Wall Street deeper into stablecoins all hint at one thing: the market's next wave is already building, long before most traders see it coming.

Markets
Bitcoin Whale Bets $23.7M on $200K BTC Despite $115K Liquidity Grab

Bitcoin briefly dipped below $115,000 this week, triggering $130 million in long liquidations across major exchanges.
The drop cleared key bid liquidity levels, but analysts say the broader bullish trend remains intact.
Deribit data revealed a whale placing a $23.7 million bull call spread targeting $200,000 BTC by year-end.
The trade involves a $140K–$200K call spread for December, signaling confidence in a new all-time high.
The move replenished liquidity lower on order books, with $113,500 flagged as the next major support.
A daily close below $115,000 could spark a sharper correction toward $110,530, where buyers are expected to re-enter.
Swissblock called the dip a "rotation-led correction" rather than capitulation.
Its Bitcoin risk index sits at zero, indicating no overheating and suggesting dips may offer low-risk buying opportunities.
Daan Crypto Trades echoed that $115,000 must be held for the uptrend to remain valid. A failure could see traders testing $113,500 before another attempt to reclaim highs.
The bullish conviction is further supported by Satoshi-era whales moving billions, adding intrigue to BTC's mid-term price path.
For investors, this whale bet signals institutional-sized optimism, but near-term volatility around $115K remains likely.
Dips into strong support zones may appeal to long-term bulls, while aggressive traders should brace for sharp swings before any potential run at $200K.

NFTs
NFT Market Cap Surges 94% to $6.6B as CryptoPunks Lead Rebound

The NFT market roared back in July, with total market capitalization hitting $6.6 billion, a 94% jump from June.
Weekly trading volume reached $136 million, the strongest showing since February.
CryptoPunks spearheaded the resurgence, with floor prices climbing 53% to 47.5 ETH, or nearly $180,000.
DappRadar reported 83 Punks were bought in 24 hours, marking renewed collector demand.
GameSquare Holdings added to the hype by buying the rare Cowboy Ape Punk #5577 for $5.15 million.
The Punk's previous owner, Compound founder Robert Leshner, became a shareholder following the sale.
Analyst Sara Gherghelas called Punks "the gold standard of Web3 clout," emphasizing that ownership is as much about status as profit.
Pudgy Penguins briefly overtook Punks in trading volume but slipped back to second place.
Meanwhile, CryptoBatz NFTs surged 400% after Ozzy Osbourne's death, showing how celebrity-linked collections can still spark frenzies.
The rebound follows a year of declining NFT volumes, hinting at a broader sector rotation.
Ethereum-based collections remain dominant, underscoring the chain's grip on high-value NFT trading.
For investors, the rebound suggests NFTs are regaining speculative momentum, but sustainability hinges on whether blue-chip collections can maintain demand.
Collectors may find opportunities in established names, but chasing celebrity-driven spikes remains risky.

GENIUS Act Spurs $4B Stablecoin Surge as Institutions Pile In

The GENIUS Act's passage is already reshaping stablecoin markets, adding nearly $4 billion in seven days. Total stablecoin market capitalization now sits above $264 billion, according to DefiLlama.
The law gives banks and asset managers a federal framework for fiat-backed stablecoins, reducing SEC-related risks.
Brian Armstrong called the move "good for everyone," signaling Coinbase's openness to more competition.
Anchorage Digital launched a compliant stablecoin issuance platform with Ethena Labs, bringing USDtb onshore.
Wall Street firms like WisdomTree debuted USDW, designed for tokenized dividends under the GENIUS Act rules.
Major banks are preparing to enter the market, with Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Citigroup exploring stablecoin issuance. Full reserves, audits, and licensing are mandatory for issuers under the law.
Fiat-backed stablecoins dominate at 85% of the market, with Tether and Circle holding over $227 billion combined.
Algorithmic stablecoins remain sidelined due to past failures, while commodity-backed options face liquidity hurdles.
The GENIUS Act signals a shift toward institutionally led stablecoin adoption, creating new competition for existing issuers.
For investors, regulatory clarity may drive a wave of bank-backed products, boosting mainstream trust and liquidity.
However, increased competition could compress yields, making issuer reputation and transparency key differentiators.

Crypto Know-How: What Is XRP?
XRP is a cryptocurrency designed for fast and cheap cross-border payments.
Unlike Bitcoin, which targets peer-to-peer transactions, XRP focuses on helping banks and financial firms move money quickly across borders.
It runs on the XRP Ledger, a blockchain that processes transactions in seconds with very low fees. This makes it attractive for remittances and international settlements, where speed and cost matter.
XRP doesn't rely on mining—new coins were pre-mined at launch, and a large portion is still held by Ripple, the company that develops related payment solutions.
Some investors see this centralization as a risk, while others view Ripple's partnerships with banks as a strength.
For investors, XRP is less about decentralization and more about adoption in traditional finance.
If Ripple's payment network grows, demand for XRP could rise, but regulatory scrutiny and its heavy reliance on Ripple remain key risks to watch.

Everything Else
Bitcoin mining firm BitMine bought over $2 billion worth of Ether in 16 days, aiming to acquire and stake 5% of the total ETH supply, surpassing SharpLink Gaming as the largest corporate Ether holder.
Hong Kong-based OSL Group raised $300 million to expand payments and stablecoin services ahead of the city's new stablecoin regulatory framework launching in August.
Michael Saylor's Strategy boosted its preferred share offering to $2 billion, with proceeds expected to fund additional Bitcoin purchases as the firm maintains its aggressive BTC accumulation strategy.
Nigeria's SEC invited stablecoin firms into its regulatory sandbox, signaling a policy shift and an attempt to rebuild trust after last year's Binance crackdown.
XRP dropped 14% after a wallet linked to Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen moved $175 million worth of tokens to exchanges, triggering liquidations and sparking concerns over potential further selling.
