1. Bitcoin is holding around $64K
Bitcoin is trading near $64,000 as the market remains relatively calm after the latest U.S. inflation data. Traders are watching whether BTC can regain stronger momentum toward $65K.
2. Ethereum ETFs are stealing the spotlight
A major development: Ethereum spot ETFs reportedly attracted more money than Bitcoin ETFs in July. The shift is being linked to institutional interest in Ethereum's staking potential and its role in stablecoin settlement.
This could become a big narrative for ETH:
“Institutions may be starting to look beyond Bitcoin."
3. XRP faces ETF pressure
XRP has recently underperformed several major cryptocurrencies, while ETF inflows have slowed. At the same time, whale activity has reportedly increased, making XRP one of the coins worth watching closely.
4. Nasdaq pushes broader crypto ETF access
Nasdaq has reportedly filed to expand options around crypto ETFs involving BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP. If approved, this could give traders more ways to hedge and speculate on major crypto assets.
5. Hyperliquid remains one of the coins to watch
Hyperliquid's treasury reportedly saw a major increase in quarterly profits, with the value of its HYPE holdings also rising. HYPE continues to attract attention as traders focus on decentralized perpetual futures.
6. Pi Network: Protocol 26 is now the big story
The Protocol 26 upgrade deadline passed on August 11, with node operators expected to upgrade to remain connected to Mainnet. PI subsequently saw a bounce toward the $0.09 area, although its broader trend remains weak.
7. U.S. crypto regulation is heating up
The SEC is scheduled to consider a major crypto-related rulemaking proposal on August 14, potentially making regulation one of the biggest market narratives heading into the weekend.

PI’s protocol upgrade just went through, but it was pulled back to 0.09 and the weakness remains unresolved; the SEC is the main event this weekend, so avoid making too many moves before it takes effect.

XRP’s move will test patience more than anything; with whale activity and ETF expectations, if you can’t keep up in the short term, it’s better to stay away and stick to the long-term fundamentals.

First Review

Just looking at this week’s market action, BTC is hovering around 64K with no clear direction; ETH ETF funds are quietly flowing out instead, and with the Nasdaq pushing options, it feels like the market winds are really starting to shift.
