Our Daily Crypto Briefing, your morning dose of whats relevant.
Bitcoin climbed toward $64,000 while a live wallet exploit, fresh Strategy selling and the first US spot bitcoin ETF liquidation left implied volatility at a three-month low. Plus 515,000 BTC parked at a $63,000 cost basis, and the Clarity Act running out of runway.
Bitcoin slipped under $63,000 on Monday even as oil fell 7 percent and yields eased, because the $114 million Coldcard exploit is doing more damage than cheap crude can repair. Plus the futures basis below Treasuries for 157 days, and Trump Media's discretionary BTC is gone.
Bitcoin held near $63,090 on a quiet Sunday as the market added 1.2%, while the Coldcard entropy exploit grew to 1,367 BTC, the CLARITY Act narrowed to one procedural window before recess, and the EU pushed its AI Act high-risk deadline to December 2027.
Bitcoin and Ether fell about 3% as a Coinbase earnings miss, a hawkish Fed dissent, and a stalling Clarity Act weighed on sentiment, even as institutional trading hit a record share and ETFs kept pulling in inflows.
The Fed held rates at 3.50-3.75% in a rare 9-3 split, with three officials pushing for a hike. Bitcoin held the 64K level as ETF money rotated out of Ethereum, while US debt topped 100% of GDP and the CLARITY Act stalled into the Senate's August recess.
The Fed held rates a fifth time, but three officials pushed for a hike, reframing the rate debate. BTC and ETH held their ranges as Morgan Stanley launched staking ETH and SOL ETPs and the Clarity Act stalled before recess.
A US鈥揑ran ceasefire held for a second day and oil fell 5%, reviving risk appetite: Bitcoin reclaimed $65,000 and Ethereum jumped 4%. Short liquidations and an ETH/BTC breakout hint at rotation, while ETF outflows and this week's Fed meeting keep the mood cautious.
Bitcoin spent Sunday pinned near 64,500 dollars on thin weekend volume, boxed between 65,000 resistance and 62,500 support after a Thursday ETF outflow snapped a week of inflows. With the Fed meeting July 28 to 29, Monday's flows and weekly close decide the next move.
Bitcoin chopped around $64,000 on Saturday as a $225M ETF outflow snapped a seven-day inflow streak and the market slipped 1%. Sentiment stayed cautious ahead of next week's Fed decision, which Grayscale says could decide if the bottom is in or lower lows lie ahead.
Bitcoin held near $66K but slipped under $65,500 as traders turned cautious ahead of next week鈥檚 Fed meeting. Spot ETFs logged a seventh straight inflow day, while Washington鈥檚 Clarity Act looks set to miss its window before the summer recess.
Crypto slipped Friday on a macro squeeze: new US tariffs, oil at a one-month high, and Treasury yields at an 18-month peak pulled money toward bonds. Spot Bitcoin ETFs snapped a seven-day inflow streak with $225M in redemptions, ending a run of nearly $1B.
Bitcoin and Ethereum opened higher on July 22 before fading, as a fresh Clarity Act draft and six straight days of spot-ETF inflows met a weaker yen, rising oil, and renewed inflation worries. Big-tech earnings became the next risk barometer.
