Rise’n’Crypto

Bitcoin spent yesterday wrestling with that $68K threshold once again and with record-breaking open interest, you could be forgiven for thinking it's full steam ahead now. However, some analysts are warning we may see one final dip before the rocket can truly take off. Elsewhere, Chainalysis appears before the New York Supreme Court to defend a $650M defamation suit over an "investment scam" label, 94% of Asian private wealth is reportedly investing in or considering crypto, the RWA sector is set to explode, and is Dogecoin about to see a "god candle?" It's an episode you don't want to miss.

Bitcoin enjoys a strong 24 hours with 2.5% gains on the day, three-and-a-half year highs for Bitcoin dominance and the highest open interest in 12 months. So now all eyes are on whether BTC can breach that psychological threshold of $69K. Elsewhere, Coinbase and Glassnode collaborate on a report that gives us a macro view of the industry this year, with one of the key takeaways being that the market has matured "dramatically." Senator Elizabeth Warren and John Deaton face off in their first debate for the Massachusetts seat and it got spicy! And finally, another wave of convincing phishing emails does the rounds, aimed at Ledger users, in a growing problem for the space.

The crypto market knew the day was coming when the Mt. Gox repayments would start, but it appears it was not priced in as Bitcoin plunged in price overnight, with the rest of the crypto market following suit. Some analysts predict the slide has a way to go yet, and long positions are getting liquidated en masse. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has moved into deep “fear” territory, yet some of the most popular traders are seemingly unfazed. In fact, it’s not just the traders who are staying cool; Justin Sun has offered to buy all of the $2.3 billion of BTC the German government is offloading.

Bitcoin has slipped and lost much of its late-June gains, but some analysts believe that might be just part of something bigger — that the Bitcoin price “cycle top” is already in. Elsewhere, Binance scored a legal victory against the SEC that could change the landscape of crypto in the U.S. forever, and an Ethereum Foundation email was hacked, sending out phishing emails to its subscribers over a fake LidoDAO partnership.
