July's Crypto Surge: A Perfect Storm of Regulation, Whales, and Retail FOMO

Crypto markets are ablaze. A perfect storm of whale accumulation, government endorsements, and altcoin momentum is turning this into one of the most electrifying crypto scenes we’ve seen all year. Whale Accumulation & Bitcoin Resilience On July 25 , an 80,000 BTC whale sale (worth ~$9B) executed via Galaxy Digital seemed poised to crash markets—but Bitcoin held strong. After briefly dipping from $119,500 to $114,500, BTC bounced back aggressively, maintaining a high above $118,000. That resilience speaks volumes about demand depth—even under pressure  Bitcoin inflows into institutions tell the full story: despite the sale, net inflows in July hit 35,165 BTC , cushioning volatility and signaling strong institutional conviction  Government Endorsement: Crypto Gets Legit In Washington, policymakers are turbocharging crypto perception.

Shiba Inu on the Brink of Facing $52 Million in Liquidations

Image
Cryptocurrency investors have shorted Shiba Inu, worth nearly $52 million, which could soon trigger a new round of price dip through liquidations. The latest data from Coinglass shows that short positions worth $51.96 million are awaiting liquidation this week. However, if SHIB surges even 10% to 15% in value, the short traders could face substantial losses. That’s not the case, as the dog-themed token is already down 6.1% as of Tuesday. Source: Coinglass The weight of the short-selling orders is outweighing that of buy orders and could make SHIB head further south. Chances of Shiba Inu rising in value remain slim, as the token has not surged in value recently. Its price has stagnated for nearly four months, which has led investors to bet on short positions. If the $52 million worth of liquidations goes through this week, Shiba Inu could see a major price decline. Also Read: Can Shiba Inu Burn Enough Tokens to Hit $1?

XRP sets sights on $12.50 as explosive rally gains steam

Image
Although XRP has experienced significant capital outflows over the past week, technical indicators suggest the asset could still reach a record high of $12.50 in the coming months. This ambitious target is tied to XRP’s breakout from a long-standing consolidation range that spanned from December 2024 to June 2025, according to insights shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on July 25. XRP price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The analyst noted that this current setup closely mirrors the triangle pattern that preceded XRP’s explosive rally in late 2017. Both patterns were supported by price action along the 50-week moving average (MA50) and the two standard deviations (Stdev) band from the Bollinger Bands model.  Examining past cycles, the analyst noted that in 2018, XRP peaked near the 3 standard deviation (Stdev) band, while the 2021 cycle encountered resistance around the 2 Stdev band.  Based on this cyclical behavior, the current move ap...

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz Says ETH May Outperform BTC In Coming Months

Image
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz believes Ethereum (ETH) could outperform Bitcoin (BTC) over the next few months, citing strong demand and limited supply. “There’s not a lot of supply of ETH, and so I think ETH probably has a chance to outperform Bitcoin in the next three to six months,” he told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday. $4K In Sight: Novogratz Cites “Really Powerful” Ethereum Narrative Novogratz said the altcoin leader is “destined to at least knock on the $4,000 ceiling a few times,” pointing to a wave of institutional accumulation as a key driver. “If ETH takes out $4,000, it goes into price discovery,” he added, meaning the price could rise quickly with no clear ceiling as the market figures out what it’s worth. With the price of ETH standing at $3,628.61 as of 2:22 a.m. EST, the crypto’s price would need to climb around 10.2% to reach $4K. Backing his ETH prediction is the “really powerful...

XRP wipes out massive $20 billion in a day after bizarre SEC ETF decision

Image
XRP’s market capitalization has plunged by almost $20 billion amid rising regulatory uncertainty and broad market turbulence.  Notably, the market has dropped by $18.37 billion within 24 hours, falling from $208.77 billion to $190.4 billion as of press time. The sharp drop also saw XRP’s price fall 9.6% to $3.21, despite a 6.1% gain over the past seven days. XRP one-day market cap chart. Source: CoinMarketCap The sell-off was amplified by an extreme liquidation imbalance, where $37.85 million in long positions were liquidated, compared to just $360,000 in shorts, a 10,409% disparity.  This sharp imbalance, triggered forced selling, revealing the market’s overexposure to bullish leverage. Long positions were, on average, 100 times larger than shorts, making prices highly sensitive to even minor downward moves. ‘Bizarre’ XRP ETF decision  The drop was further fueled by a sudden regulatory reversal where the Securities and Excha...
