Warren pressures Trump to publicly disclose holdings; CLARITY voting week turns into a “reality show”

This week could be the most important week in the 2026 crypto market.

No ifs.

The CLARITY bill passed the House last year with 294 votes, then the Senate Banking Committee cleared it on May 14 by 15 to 9—then it sat in the Senate for an entire year.

August 7, during the summer recess, is the hard deadline. If this week it can’t be scheduled for a full Senate vote, the bill is basically dead this year.

And right at this moment, Senator Warren sent a letter to Trump on July 16, demanding that he voluntarily disclose his crypto holdings before July 23.

The bill’s biggest obstacle was never policy disagreement. It’s the ethics clause.

The Democrats want to add one line: banning the president and senior officials from profiting from digital assets. The Republicans removed it. The two sides are deadlocked.

Trump’s 2025 financial disclosures show his crypto-related income is about $1.4 billion.

Take a good look at that.

Warren chose to pressure Trump during the voting window—“when the president’s financial exposure to the industry is only partially disclosed, Congress cannot fairly debate crypto legislation.”

How tight is the voting window, exactly?

The Senate has only 53 Republican seats, and the bill needs 60 votes to break the filibuster and end the long debate. That means at least 7 Democrats would have to flip.

But so far, there are only 2 Democratic senators publicly supporting the bill. That’s 5 votes short.

To make matters worse, Senator Lindsey Graham died last weekend, and Mitch McConnell has continued to miss votes due to illness. The Republican majority is actually thinner.

The House recesses on July 23, and the Senate recesses on August 7.

That leaves only a few days for legislation.

Alright, in plain talk—if the bill passes, what happens? If it fails, what happens?

Scenario 1: Bill passes (Polymarket now bets a 32% probability)

BTC: Straight into the $68,000–$70,000 range.

Why? The bill explicitly assigns regulatory authority to the SEC and the CFTC, and Bitcoin’s “commodities” status is formally written into law. This isn’t guidance drafted by the SEC; it’s statutory law. The next administration won’t be able to overturn it.

The “compliance path” institutions have waited years for is finally open. Custody costs drop, enforcement rules are clearer, and ETF liquidity increases.

ETF money will come back. Wall Street’s money will flow in.

ETH: Also benefits, but the upside may be weaker than BTC. Because the “commodity or security” controversy for Ethereum will be resolved, but DeFi registration requirements still keep tugging at the market.

Altcoins: They’re the biggest winners.

The bill defines when “tokens” shift from being investment contracts to functioning as utility commodities. How many projects have died in that gray area? Once it’s clarified, the risk of existing “illegal securities” among legacy altcoins gets cleared in one shot. This isn’t about a 10% pop—it’s a repricing of the valuation system.

Scenario 2: Bill fails (probability 68%)

BTC: In the short term, it could fall back to $60,000, even $58,000.

Not because the bill itself is that important, but because expectations are dashed. The market already priced in the chance of “passing this week”—the proof is that BTC jumped from $62,630 to $64,800+. If that expectation breaks, this premium has to be unwound.

ETH: Liquidation risk is huge. If ETH falls below $1,767, the total liquidation strength of net long positions on mainstream CEXs would reach $470 million. Chain liquidations aren’t a joke.

Altcoins: Worst of all.

Without a clear regulatory framework, the SEC will continue “enforcement-style regulation.” Projects keep living in fear of whether they’ll be sued tomorrow. Institutions won’t touch it. Liquidity keeps drying up.

Senator Lummis warns: if it hasn’t passed by August, the next opportunity may not come until 2030.

A bill that passed the House 294 to 134, a bill that passed the Senate Banking Committee 15 to 9, could end up dying on a single ethics clause.

$1.4 billion in holdings—capping the entire industry’s future.

Last three sentences

First, watch July 23. Trump’s final deadline response to Warren. How he responds directly determines whether Democrats will allow it through.

Second, don’t bet your whole stack on the bill. A 32% probability is not a reason to go all in. If it doesn’t make the agenda for a vote by Thursday, when you wake up Friday your position might already not be yours.

Third, if you hold altcoins, don’t sleep too deeply this week. Passing is heaven; failing is hell. There’s no middle ground.

Do you think Trump will publicly disclose his holdings before July 23?

I bet he won’t. And because of that, the bill will be dragged out for another four years. #GateDEX全面接入RobinhoodChain #夏日创作营 #沃什称AI是否引发通胀取决于美联储 $BTC $ETH $SOL

Avoid pitfalls when cashing out large amounts: the “compliant, low-loss” circulation playbook privately kept by veterans

Lately, my DMs have been flooded with questions. It seems everyone has been left with psychological scars from “frozen cards.” If you have large assets and want to cash out in a steady and reliable way, is there a compliant route that’s also low in loss? After stepping into quite a few traps, I’m currently running a route long-term, and I can say it’s the most solid solution I’m using at this stage.

US military airstrike on Iran: the 24-hour trading rundown—what to buy, what to sell?

Saying one thing and doing another—that’s the harshest truth in this world.

A month ago, the US and Iran shook hands to end hostilities, the memorandum was signed, and a ceasefire framework was in place. The market believed it, oil prices stabilized, and BTC caught its breath.

What about now?

Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Garibabadi, publicly announced: Iran will stop complying with the US-Iran understanding memorandum. Iran’s top leader directly blasted it, saying Trump’s signature is “worthless and invalid.”

Trump replied: “I don’t care at all.”

Then what happened? On the morning of July 19 at 6:00 Beijing time, the US military’s eighth round of airstrikes hit Iran, targeting military facilities along the Hormuz Strait coast.

Peace? That was the news from last month.

Today’s news is: tanker passage volume through the Hormuz Strait has fallen to a historical low, and one-fifth of the world’s oil supply is hanging by a thread.

And as for Bitcoin—what you all keep calling “digital gold”—it surged more than 2% in the past 24 hours, nearing $65,000.

You heard right. While there’s war, BTC is going up.

But don’t get too excited yet. Since 2026, Bitcoin’s drawdown is still as high as 26%. A 2% rise counts as a rebound? More like a flash of recovery, that’s about it.

Now stop talking in theory. Here’s a fully actionable checklist.

Short term (within 24 hours): ✅ What should you buy? ❌ What should you avoid?

✅ Three types of assets you can consider

First, gold tokens (PAXG, XAUT).

The logic is so simple it doesn’t require thinking: war → safe-haven → gold rises. PAXG is currently quoted around $4,100, and XAUT is moving in sync. In the crypto world, the closest thing to physical gold is them.

Don’t tell me “BTC is digital gold.” In February, during the first round of US-Iran clashes, BTC dropped 8% in 48 hours. Real gold was rising, while digital gold was falling. Judge for yourself.

Second, stablecoin yield farming (USDT/USDC high-yield pools).

Volatility is about to blow up. Weekend market-maker participation drops sharply, and order book depth plunges. Holding stablecoins to earn interest at a time like this isn’t cowardice—it’s smart. The core of a geopolitics trade isn’t prediction, it’s position control.

Third, SOL (relatively more resilient in past Middle East conflicts).

SOL is currently trading around $75 in a range. Its resilience in Middle East conflicts has been stronger than most altcoins, and on-chain fundamentals haven’t collapsed either. It can be an “elastic” position for short-term trading.

But remember: keep it light. Keep it light. Keep it light.

❌ Three types of assets you should firmly avoid

First, high-leverage contracts. Weekend liquidity is low—one spike can wipe you out. In the past 24 hours, over 50k people worldwide were liquidated. Do you want to be the 50,001st?

Second, altcoins. When liquidity is withdrawn, altcoins fall the hardest and fastest. Don’t buy the dip, don’t catch falling knives.

Third, oil-related tokens. Oil prices are too volatile, and they’re completely led by the headlines. Brent crude rose 15.9% on the week, but off-hours volatility can still make you lose 20% in a single day. This money isn’t for you to earn—it’s for market makers to profit from.

Medium term (1–2 weeks): watch two signals

First, whether BTC can hold steady in the 58,000–60,000 range.

BTC is currently ranging between 63,500 and 64,800. If it doesn’t break below the 58,000–60,000 prior low area for 3 consecutive days, it can be seen as “geopolitical risk already priced in”—meaning the downside that was supposed to happen has already happened.

Second, whether the indirect negotiation channel between the US and Iran reopens.

Watch news from intermediary countries like Turkey and Oman. Once there are signs of renewed contact, it’s a chance for a partial, staged retreat—when others panic, you get greedy; when others get greedy, you run.

Position management:

Fully invested:

Right now, immediately, convert 20%–30% of your position into stablecoins. Not to run for survival, but so you’ll have ammunition when others start cutting their losses.

On the sidelines:

Don’t go all-in at once. Use a “reverse pyramid” buildup—place orders at 58,000, 55,000, and 52,000, and put in 1/3 each time. Buy when it drops to your level; if it hasn’t hit yet, don’t buy.

Remember:

“The core of a geopolitics trade isn’t prediction—it’s position control. Always leave some cash so you can sleep soundly.”

Bitcoin rose 2% in the past 24 hours, nearing $65,000. Many people are cheering that “safe-haven demand is back.”

Don’t lie to yourself.

BTC is up because the traditional markets are closed over the weekend, and it’s the only large liquid asset still trading. It’s not because it’s a safe-haven paradise—it’s because the casino hasn’t closed.

The real safe-haven assets—gold, the dollar, and US Treasuries—are on vacation for the weekend. BTC is just being forced to sit at the “only table that’s still open.”

When US stocks open on Monday—that’s the real test.

If US stocks crash and BTC follows down, then the so-called “digital gold” narrative is completely bankrupt.

If BTC resists and holds up against the trend—that’s the real turning point.

But before that, don’t stake your whole position on an unproven narrative.

How much of your position is it right now?

I bet that when Monday opens, BTC will first pull back to $62,000. #GateDEX全面接入RobinhoodChain #美军结束对伊朗新一轮打击 #夏日创作营 $BTC $SOL $XAU

Watch this video of Zou Shiming going to his mother-in-law’s house, and you’ll know that Zou Shiming’s path to where he is today is entirely his own fault. As a boxing champion, a man holding 200 million in cash, his status at his mother-in-law’s place is how pitifully humble and degrading it is. A kind person gets bullied by others—there must be something hateful about a pitiable person. On the ring, he throws heavy punches; in real life, he’s timid and submissive. After watching this video, I can only say, “Serves him right!”

Can France’s team have this attitude if they can’t win the championship? The whole squad is coasting, and in the first half they were already hit by England 0:4. With this kind of match attitude, they deserve to not win the championship! Support England to score 6 more goals in the second half!

$HYPE ‌ has officially broken its bullish market structure.

Momentum is weakening, while the higher timeframe support zone is still below current price.

The first major area to watch is around $50.

That's where the ascending trendline meets the 200 EMA, creating a potential confluence zone for buyers.

If the decline continues, this could be the first area where meaningful demand appears.

SOL worth $74, are you going to run?

First look at the surface: surge then fade, retail traders panic.

In early July, it strongly rallied from $62 to $82, up 32%, then pulled back to $74-75. The candlesticks tell you: a normal retest inside an uptrend channel. $73-74 has been defended multiple times—don’t get shaken out, big money is still accumulating.

First thing: even though the price pulled back, on-chain data hit a historic high.

What you see is SOL dropping from $82 to $74, down 10%. What you don’t see is:

In early July, weekly non-voting transactions first broke 1 billion, a historical record

TVL rebounded to $5.1B, a five-week high

Cumulative tokenized stock trading topped $10 billion, with Solana taking the vast majority of share

Sounds familiar? The price is falling, but usage is exploding.

Second thing: capital is flowing from BTC/ETH into SOL.

US-listed SOL spot ETFs keep seeing net inflows, while BTC and ETH ETFs are seeing outflows in the same period. Institutions are doing one thing: rebalancing.

Big money thinks there’s no near-term story in BTC/ETH, so they’re betting on SOL’s narrative of “high performance + tokenization + AI Agent.” Google Cloud is even doing AI hackathons with Solana—are you still stuck overthinking $74?

Third thing: the technicals are at a key level.

$73-74 is strong support, verified multiple times. $76.5-78 is near-term resistance; $80-82 is the July high. The price is trading within the uptrend channel, and the pullback toward the lower edge of the channel—this is the most classic “buy zone” in technical analysis.

But if it breaks below $72 on expanding volume, that won’t be a pullback—it’ll be a reversal.

Bull-bear battle, you decide:

On one side:

On-chain transactions break 1 billion, a historic high

TVL rebounds to $510 million, tokenized assets explode

ETFs continue net inflows, institutions are buying

$73-74 strong support holding, uptrend channel intact

On the other side:

Down 4% in 7 days, short-term momentum weakens

Macro is hawkish, risk assets under pressure

If BTC continues to fall, SOL will be dragged down

Key levels

Upward resistance: $76.5-78 → $80-82 → $85-86 → $100+

Downward support: $73-74 → $70-72 → $67

Short-term traders:

Go long lightly at $73.5-74.5, stop-loss at $72, target $77-79. If it breaks above $78 on volume, chase long for $85-90. Leverage no more than 3x—this volatility, you can’t take it.

Swing players:

$70-73 is the mid-term add-on zone. Hold for 1-3 months aiming for $100+. If it breaks below $72, cut losses; if it holds above $78, add.

Long-term believers:

Buy via monthly DCA with eyes closed below $70. Solana’s adoption data hasn’t lied—tokenization + AI Agent is one of the strongest narratives of 2026, aiming for $150-200.

SOL right now is like the $80 SOL in October 2023—

99% of people think “it has run too much, it’s time to drop,” and then three months later it rises to $200.

The day $82 broke through, you’ll realize:

A huge bull market 🔥 is definitely coming in 2026, because the market is extremely hungry. Bitcoin is expected to return to more than $150,000 before this year’s National Day, and Ethereum will also go back above $8,000. Dogecoin will be pushed to above $1.00. My advice: set aside some capital to buy a few reliable coins for a bottom-fishing entry, hold for half a year and don’t touch them—there will be miracles! [airplane][airplane][airplane] ​

To achieve high multiples with small capital during this bull market, here are a few suggestions:
1. Focus on the key hot sectors: MEME, AI, social, gaming, wallets, leading L2 projects, and the BRC20 ecosystem as the main focus
2. Don’t fantasize about 100x or 200x gains, because the logic from the last cycle is completely different from today. 20x to 50x is enough.
3. Be able to hold—hold for a long time.
4. Try to do a pullback swing trade in the middle of the bull market; if you can’t time it accurately, you can ignore it.
5. Take profits in the bull market top area

SKHY at $152—are you looking to buy the dip?

First, look at the surface: a roller-coaster rampage right after listing.

It listed on Nasdaq on July 10, priced at $149. Pre-market surged to $180 (+21%), opened at $170, and closed its first day at $168 (+12.8%). It raised $26.5 billion, setting a foreign company record for the U.S. IPO. Then what happened? On July 17, during the day, it briefly fell below the $149 offering price, hitting a low of $145.57. The intraday range was 14.31%, delivering the “down 5% to up 5%” V-shaped reversal.

After 8 days, the price is back to where it started. Everyone who chased the rally has been left hanging at the mountaintop.

First thing: the crash wasn’t because the company is bad—it’s because it’s “too expensive.”

Korea Investment & Securities projected SK hynix’s Q2 revenue at 80.9 trillion won (YoY +264%), operating profit at 60.4 trillion won (YoY +556%), and operating margin at 74.6%, a record high. The company has sold out all its 2026 HBM capacity, and the expected supply shortage will continue through 2027.

Profits are exploding, but the stock price is falling.

Why? Because before listing, market expectations were priced too optimistically—leveraged ETFs, options, and perpetual contracts all launched. Speculative capital pushed the premium above 50%. Profit-taking plus leveraged liquidations triggered a stampede.

Second thing: the HBM leader’s fundamentals haven’t changed.

SK hynix controls about 59% of the global HBM market, meets 70% of NVIDIA’s HBM4 chip demand, and has sold out all 2026 capacity. NVIDIA alone accounts for roughly 27% of its revenue. In June, it just surpassed Samsung to become South Korea’s highest market-cap listed company.

Third thing: the options market tells you—the volatility isn’t over.

On SKHY’s options listing day, implied volatility hit as high as 171%. Normal stock IV is 20–30%, and even Tesla is around 60–70%.

Going long prints money, going short also prints money—only the people chasing rallies and panic-selling are losing money.

On the Hyperliquid platform, SKHX and SKHY contracts combined for over $1 billion in total trading volume over the past 24 hours, directly overtaking ETH to climb to second on the platform.

When longs and shorts go head-to-head, just look for yourself

One side says:

HBM global market share 59%, and 70% of NVIDIA’s HBM4 allocation

All 2026 capacity sold out; shortages continue through 2027

Q2 operating margin expected at 74.6%, a record high

Analyst target price $342; at $152, there’s upside room of about 2x

7x oversubscription on the first day—institutions put up real cash

The other side says:

Falling from $177 to $145 in one week; bloodbath for late chasers

South Korean local shares plunged 15% in a single day; leveraged ETF sell pressure

Q2 profit expectations are below some consensus (lower by 8%)

Options IV at 171%—volatility is extreme

Storage industry’s cyclical risks—supply could recover in 2027–2028

Key levels

Resistance above: 158–160 → 167–170 (prior highs) → 177 (listing high)

Support below: 145–149 (offering price + new low) → 135–140 (deeper pullback)

For short-term traders:

Lightly try longs near $152, stop loss at $145, target $158–162. If it breaks below $145, don’t buy the dip—wait for $135–140.

For swing traders:

Wait for daily candles to regain and hold above $155 before getting in on the right side; targets $170–180. If it breaks below $145 again with volume, don’t catch the falling knife—wait for below $135.

For long-term believers:

DCA in batches from $145 to $152. The HBM super-cycle hasn’t ended—AI capex is still accelerating. Target is $300+ in 2027. You’re betting that the memory shortage persists and valuations get repriced.

SKHY right now is like NVIDIA in 2023—

99% of people think, “it’s up too much, it should drop,” and every pullback ends up being another chance to board.

But what’s different this time is that—25x leverage, 171% volatility, and a chain reaction in leveraged ETFs. A double-explosion script for both longs and shorts is unfolding.
