For two years, the earliest bitcoin holders regularly fueled the market by selling part of their holdings. However, this dynamic has just stopped. In the second quarter, the oldest wallets, inherited from the early days of the network, almost ceased transferring their BTC. This unprecedented slowdown in selling pressure, highlighted by Galaxy's on-chain data, could change the market balance. Behind this calmness, a cycle change may be emerging that traditional indicators still struggle to reflect.

Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped by 0.74% at block 959616 this weekend, marking the 15th adjustment of 2026. In the first seven months, decreases outnumber increases by a ratio of 3 to 2. This self-regulation mechanism tells of an industry facing increasing pressure.

This Sunday, July 26, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, reignited speculation with a post on social media.

The cryptocurrency market continues to lose several historic platforms. Within a few months, Bit.com and then BitMEX announced their gradual disappearance. Now, BitMart also confirms the cessation of its activities according to a specific schedule. This new closure directly affects the users of the exchange, invited to close their positions and withdraw their assets before the different deadlines set by the platform. This succession of announcements marks a new phase for several industry players.

Bitget received two industry awards during its first appearance at Wiki Finance Expo Hong Kong 2026.

Markets will ultimately not get the hoped-for respite. As the temporary tariffs implemented 150 days ago expired, Donald Trump chose to revive the trade war by announcing, this Friday, a new wave of taxes targeting about sixty economies. Presented as a response to forced labor in certain supply chains, this offensive goes far beyond trade. It reignites tensions between the United States, China and the European Union, while fueling a new phase of volatility in financial markets and alternative assets.

Is Ethereum just going through a simple consolidation phase or have investors already turned the page? While the crypto market watches for the slightest sign of a rebound, prediction platforms like Polymarket display a pessimism rarely seen towards the sector's second largest capitalization. Having returned around 1,880 dollars after a brief passage above 1,950 dollars, ETH remains above its late June low at 1,510 dollars, without convincing. This gap between a still solid network and a degraded market sentiment raises the question: how far can distrust go?

North Korean authorities have arrested a group of former cyber operators and IT specialists accused of hacking two public banks and laundering funds via cryptocurrencies. South Korean media Daily NK revealed the case on July 25, citing an anonymous source in Pyongyang. A case that disrupts the usual narrative of North Korean cyberattacks, which were until now systematically directed outward.

After weeks of continuous inflows, capital is beginning to leave American spot ETFs dedicated to cryptos. This reversal, observed at the end of July, marks a break in the momentum that had been supporting the market for several weeks. Far more than a simple flow indicator, these funds have become the main barometer of institutional demand. Their move into the red could reveal a change of mood on Wall Street regarding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more broadly, the entire crypto market.

The U.S. House of Representatives has taken a new step in regulating investments made by lawmakers. Representatives passed a bill that now prohibits members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying publicly traded stocks, while allowing them to keep and then sell stocks they already own. This decision opens a new debate on conflict of interest prevention before the Senate examines the bill.

Bitget’s Reality rTokens recorded up to 58% lower simulated slippage than competing tokenized equity products on $50,000 orders, according to a CryptoRank study. The result places execution quality at the centre of the tokenized stock race. Offering blockchain-based exposure is no longer enough. Platforms must also prove that traders can enter or exit larger positions without moving the price sharply.

The US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $310.62 million on July 24, 2026, according to data compiled by SoSoValue. This slowdown marks the end of a relatively calm period for crypto-listed products. The reversal mainly affects Ethereum funds, which had seen five consecutive days of inflows.

The acquisition of Exaion by MARA continues to raise questions several months after its completion. A lawsuit filed in the United States now challenges the presentation of this operation to the French authorities. According to this legal document, the development of Bitcoin mining was part of the project from the beginning, while public communications mostly highlighted artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. This new procedure thus opens both a legal and political debate.

Strategy has published a new indicator designed to measure its ability to absorb a sustained market decline. Rather than setting a floor price, the company presents an annual rate of return, allowing the assessment of the strength of its financial structure over several years. This new tool is based on its reserves, its debt, and its financial commitments. In this context, Bitcoin remains at the heart of the Strategy model, which seeks to better explain the conditions under which its financial coverage could remain sufficient despite a market that is durably oriented downward.

What if the rhythm of Bitcoin remained constant? Based on 1,064-day cycles, a widely circulated theory forecasts a crash in October 2026. Is it a mathematical law or a myth? Examine a theory that divides experts and has the potential to drastically alter investors' lives.

In the crypto derivatives market, overconfidence is quickly punished. While bitcoin was calmly flirting with $67,000, a lightning crash wiped out $2,000 of value in just seven hours, breaking the $64,000 support. More than a simple technical correction, this drop mercilessly liquidated many positions. It thus exposes the vulnerability of overexposed long positions caught between market nervousness and global macroeconomic tensions.

The crypto derivatives platform BitMEX faces a class action lawsuit for 622.66 bitcoins, filed on July 24, 2026, before the federal court in New York. The plaintiffs accuse the exchange of orchestrating fraudulent liquidations to seize their clients' bitcoins. This legal action coincides with the very day BitMEX announces the end of eleven years of operation.

Bitcoin is regaining ground, but a barrier continues to slow its ascent. Despite a rebound from nearly $58,000 to $63,955 in a few weeks and sustained interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs, the leading crypto struggles to regain control of a major technical threshold. Behind this persistent resistance lie market mechanisms far more complex than a simple lack of buyers. Why does this ceiling still block Bitcoin's upward momentum?

Markets only needed a few hours to waver. A surge in oil prices, triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, revived risk aversion and led to a sell-off in the most exposed assets. Bitcoin, which was still trying to consolidate its recent gains, found itself caught in a well-known mechanism: rising US bond yields, retreating expectations of Fed rate cuts, and the sudden return of geopolitical uncertainty. Can cryptos still escape macroeconomic turmoil?

India has ordered GitHub to remove several repositories related to Bitchat, the decentralized messaging created by Jack Dorsey. Authorities blame the application for complicating user identification and surveillance.

Stablecoins continue to gain ground in digital uses, far beyond the traditional crypto ecosystem. Now, Samsung intends to give them a place at the heart of its Wallet application, presented as a future everyday wallet. This evolution marks a new stage in the strategy of the Korean group, which wants to bring together payments, rewards, and digital assets within a single interface. The announcement was made during Galaxy Unpacked and confirms the growing interest of major technology companies in stablecoins.

Bitcoin miners could sign the equivalent of 150 billion dollars in contracts thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence. According to Bernstein, the global shortage of electricity and data centers is pushing AI giants to seek partners capable of quickly providing computing power. The infrastructures built for bitcoin are thus becoming strategic assets far beyond crypto.
