🕵️♂️ The Kraken exchange, actively used for distributing bitcoins to Mt. Gox creditors, is experiencing a significant outflow.
This indicates that Mt. Gox coins are being withdrawn from the exchange. Even if they were sold, they are now being taken out by new holders. 🤔
In simpler terms — there is no panic in the market regarding Mt. Gox sell-offs. 💪

Franklin Templeton Hints at Launching a Solana ETF 🚀
The asset manager and issuer of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Franklin Templeton, mentioned Solana among the "other interesting and important developments" that will contribute to the industry's growth. 📈
- the statement said.
On July 23, Franklin Templeton changed their cover image on X, dedicating it to the launch of Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds. Benjamin Franklin's glasses turned "laser." This happened after Elon Musk's laser eyes appeared, although he has since returned to his traditional Twitter avatar. 🤔

"The to the moon" didn't happen, and the price of ETH dropped by 8% in a day. 🤷
💰 Capital inflow into new spot ETFs based on Ethereum decreased following the trading session on July 24. For example, BlackRock's fund received $17 million compared to $266.5 million on the first day. 🤔
The outflow of investor funds from Grayscale's ETF continued, amounting to $327 million (down from $484 million the day before).
📉 Due to the price drop ($3,174 at the moment) on exchanges, ETH longs worth approximately $100 million were liquidated in a day.

📉 Ethereum Under Pressure: New Concerns After Sell-Off
10x Research has identified "signs of new problems" following Ethereum's sharp decline post spot ETF launch. 🧐
🔍 According to analysts, the sell-off mirrors past patterns seen during the launch of digital gold ETFs. Many traders expected ETH-ETFs to capture 20% of BTC-ETF inflows but underestimated the "sell the news" rule.
📊 Data shows significant outflows from Grayscale's ETHE, with $481M and $326M withdrawn in the first two days of trading.
🛑 Analysts predict bearish trends for Ethereum, highlighting overbought conditions before the ETF launch and stagnant or declining fundamental metrics like new users and revenue.
⚠️ While Bitcoin enjoys "digital gold" status, Wall Street remains unsure of Ethereum's value proposition. Experts warn of further price drops due to potential pressure from Mt.Gox clients, upcoming US corporate reports, and weak seasonal trends in August and September.

Is China to blame for everything?
🌐Today's decline in the cryptocurrency and stock markets was caused by actions of the Chinese financial regulator.
🚨 China’s unexpected back-to-back rate cuts are stirring market panic and signaling economic instability. The People's Bank of China slashed its one-year lending rate to 2.3%, injecting $27.5B to boost growth, but the move sparked fears instead.
📉 Bitcoin dropped nearly 2% to around $64,000, while Ethereum fell over 5%, dragging altcoins.
📊 Global stocks are also in the red: Germany’s DAX, France’s CAC, and Euro Stoxx 50 dipped over 1.5%, with Nasdaq 100 futures slipping further after a 3% drop.
🔍 The steepening U.S. Treasury yield curve is adding to the risk, with the spread between 10-year and 2-year yields widening, signaling market concerns over future rate cuts and persistent inflation.
💬 “The PBoC’s surprise rate cut heightened market panic,” noted Ilan Solot of Marex Solutions, highlighting the instability and ongoing risk aversion.

VanEck has published basic, bearish, and bullish scenarios for Bitcoin's price in 2050.
The range is incredibly wide! Just take a look: the bullish price is $52,386 million per BTC 🙀, while the bearish price is "only" $130 thousand. In the basic scenario, it's $2,910 million.🧐
The conclusion is clear: the current price $67,000 is a very low and you should buy now, if not for yourself, then to leave as an inheritance for your children. 😉💰

💎 TON Developers Introduce Gasless Payments
🧑💻The TON development team and the creators of the Tonkeeper wallet have implemented the new W5 smart wallet standard for cryptocurrency wallets supporting the TON blockchain.
👀 This will allow the transfer of tokens within the TON network without the need to hold Toncoin in the wallet for gas payments. In other words, fees for transfers in USDT or NOT can be paid with these same tokens.
It has been reported that support for the new standard will soon be added to the TON Space and MyTonWallet wallets as well.

Ethereum worth ~$288 million moved for the first time in seven years
💲 On July 25, an address likely associated with the Ethereum Foundation (EF) transferred 92,500 ETH worth about $287.7 million after seven years of inactivity.
In response to speculation about the involvement of the non-profit organization in the transactions, EthHub co-founder Eric Conner stated that it is most likely an early participant. 🐳
🔎 According to the Arkham platform, on September 1, 2015, the organization moved 96,474 ETH. From the new address, the funds were sent to an unmarked wallet seven years ago, which remained almost inactive all this time.
👀 Conner believes that the 2015 transaction was the initial transfer of EF assets to an investor. There were many such operations at that time, he added.
Comments noted that ETH was worth $1.35 at that time, and the entire amount slightly exceeded $100,000. 💰🚀

Peter Schiff has come up with a new narrative for gold: it’s a more secretive asset than BTC because gold conferences are attended by far fewer people. 🤣🤣🤣
Just yesterday, Peter Schiff, who has repeatedly criticized Bitcoin, made a new statement about the first cryptocurrency. He warned that Bitcoin is on the brink of a deep recession due to the stock market decline.
He’s made similar statements dozens of times; it's getting boring already... 🥱
"Some guy at the #Bitcoin Conference just said that Bitcoin is the world's best kept secret. Pumpers have to at least make their lies believable. Almost everyone knows about Bitcoin. There are 20K people at that conference. The biggest annual #gold conferences attracts around 500."

🐂 Michael Saylor's bullish forecast for 2045 is $49 million per BTC.
While according to VanEck's bullish scenario, Bitcoin will be worth $52 million in 2050, Michael Saylor is clearly more optimistic.
🧸 His bearish forecast is $3 million, and in VanEck's bearish scenario, Bitcoin could be worth just $130,000 in 2050. Or maybe digital gold will just go through a deep correction? 😁

Release Date for Changpeng Zhao Announced
👀 Contrary to the expectations of some community members, Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) will not be released in August.
Some mistakenly reported a specific release date for the entrepreneur—August 30—based on the fact that on April 30, a court in Seattle (USA) sentenced Zhao to four months in prison. 🧐
In reality, Zhao began serving his sentence in late May at the federal prison in Lompoc, California, as his lawyers ensured he had a few extra weeks of freedom, fully justifying their hefty fees.
Data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons shows that CZ is set to be released on September 29. This will happen if nothing changes. 🤷

🔒 Former Huobi Employees Stole Over 40,000 Private Keys
🧑💻 Four former employees of the cryptocurrency exchange Huobi implanted trojans into client wallets and stole over 40,000 seed phrases and private keys, according to Colin Wu.
👀 In early March 2023, Zhang, Dong, and Liu added a backdoor program to the wallet software, gaining access to more than 19,000 crypto addresses. The exact amount of stolen assets is not disclosed. In April 2024, the court sentenced them to three years in prison and fined them 30,000 yuan (over $4,000).
🤷 Another former Huobi employee, Zhang Mouyi, also embedded a backdoor in the wallet’s source code, stealing over 6,400 private keys and seed phrases since July 2021. He received three years in prison and a 50,000 yuan (~$7,000) fine. Huobi collaborated with the Shanghai Public Security Bureau in investigating the incident.
It’s worth noting that in November 2023, there was a $110 million hack of HTX and Heco Bridge.
