Bitcoin has held above $63,000 after last week’s macro-driven rebound, but traders are now weighing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts against rising geopolitical tensions and mounting technical resistance. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) price traded around $63,100 on Tuesday after briefly testing the $64,000 region again, leaving the market caught between bullish macro expectations and a growing list of near-term risks. The cryptocurrency rallied nearly 10% over the past week after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggested artificial intelligence-driven productivity gains could help contain inflation, while a weak U.S. jobs report showing only 57,000 new payroll additions…

Ethereum completed a golden cross against Bitcoin on its short-term chart, with the market now watching for a potential comeback. The MA 50 rose above the MA 200 after a crossover on the hourly chart. $ETH/$BTC Hourly Chart, Image By TradingView This follows a recent run of outperformance by Ethereum, which has rallied versus Bitcoin since bottoming at 0.025 on June 6. Fresh ETF inflows and rising on-chain activity, especially through Robinhood’s new Layer 2 chain using $ETH as its native gas token, have helped Ethereum outperform Bitcoin recently. The outperformance can be seen in a golden cross developing on…

Veteran investor Ross Gerber highlighted on Thursday a report revealing that more than one million people lost money while President Donald Trump made a fortune from those same ventures. $TRUMP Investors Left Holding Bags The report also stated that 85% of secondary-market buyers of World Liberty Financial’s token remain underwater. “Over 1 million people lost money on the trump crypto rug pull,” said the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management. Note that there’s no direct one-to-one match between cryptocurrency wallets and actual holders. A single individual can create dozens or even hundreds of distinct wallets, while a single…

On the first day of every month, one billion $XRP leaves a set of locked contracts on the $XRP Ledger, and every month traders argue about what it means. Here is the full machinery: why the escrow was created, how the ledger enforces it, where the released tokens actually go, and how to read the unlock without being fooled by the headline number. At around 07:30 UTC on July 1, 2026, on-chain trackers flagged three transfers on the $XRP Ledger: 200 million $XRP, then 300 million, then 500 million, exactly one billion tokens worth roughly $1.04 billion at the time.…

Just a few short years ago, the crypto hype was strong. VCs were eager to pour money into solutions for scalability, data availability, and any number of buzzwords. Since then, the advent of powerful AI models and prolonged bear markets have taken the wind out of crypto’s sails and many chains which promised the future are now as good as forgotten. One keen-eyed X user, crypto marketer Stacy Muur, noted the staggering $500 million invested across six blockchain projects which, together, have produced a total of just $360 in blockchain fees in the past 24 hours. These projects raised more…

While Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in general continue to trade with high volatility, a signal that accurately indicated the bottoms has been analyzed. According to a CryptoQuant analyst report, Bitcoin is likely to experience further declines in the current bear market. At this point, the analyst, examining the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator, noted that Bitcoin’s NUPL indicator is currently at 0.158. The 30-day NUPL moving average has fallen to 0.155, while the 100-day EMA is at 0.215. With the 30-day average below the 100-day average, a bottom would require the 100-day EMA to also fall below zero. Because…

Coinbase began offering a High Yield tier on its USDC lending product paying about 7.02% APY, roughly double the 3.63% APY on its standard Core tier, days after Robinhood Earn launched a competing 7% campaign. Both products route deposits through Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol with $7.11 billion in total value locked, and both are curated by Steakhouse Financial. But the two rates are built differently, according to a breakdown from analyst account Pink Brains. Robinhood’s headline number blends several pieces: borrower interest, reserve yield from its $USDG stablecoin’s T-bill backing, zero vault fees and a top-up campaign run through…

Ethereum is testing resistance as a TD Sequential sell signal and a broader corrective structure raise the risk of another decline. $ETH could first sweep liquidity above recent highs, but failure to hold the move may expose $1,770, $1,700 and eventually $1,505. Ethereum Sell Signal Raises Risk of Drop Toward $1,700 Ethereum is testing the upper boundary of its price channel as the TD Sequential indicator flashes a sell signal, according to analyst Ali Charts. The overlap of technical resistance and weakening momentum increases the risk of a short-term pullback. The channel top acts as resistance because previous advances have…

In recent days, there have been signs of a reevaluation. The Roundhill Memory ETF has fallen roughly 25% from its June 22 record high, while VanEck Semiconductor ETF has dropped 12%. Bitcoin, which dipped below $58,000 on July 1, is back trading above $61,000. The AI-related selling pressure accelerated on Wednesday after Bloomberg reported that Meta Platforms (META) is creating a business unit called Meta Compute, which will sell excess GPU (graphic processing unit) computing capacity to third parties. The news rattled companies that have benefited from the AI compute boom, particularly “neocloud” providers that lease GPU infrastructure to AI…

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said several meme coins used his likeness across multiple chains during the past week. He said he did not promote, support, or launch any of the tokens. The investigator posted the update on his Telegram channel after traders created ZACHXBT-themed tokens tied to his public name. “I have always stated I will never support or launch a meme coin,” he wrote. ZachXBT said all tokens sent to his donation wallet were sold on the market. He then sent the full amount, worth about $41,000, to charity through The Giving Block. The funds went to Direct Relief and…
