🚨SHOCKING: Hong Kong's first licensed stablecoin failed a security review just two days after launching.
Blockchain security firm BlockSec found a single key can mint, freeze, and force burn the HKD-pegged HKDAP, calling the contract "not production-ready."
The token is issued by Anchorpoint, the Standard Chartered venture with HKT and Animoca Brands, with BlockSec saying its design breaks Hong Kong regulators' own rules.

🇺🇸JUST IN: The US dollar has been backed by NOTHING for exactly 55 years, after a "temporary" move that was never reversed.
President Nixon cut the dollar's link to gold in August 1971, calling the suspension temporary in his own address.
The temporary fix became the entire global financial system, with gold rising from $35 an ounce that day to $4,383 today.

ETH is sitting at a critical level.
Ethereum is holding around $1,900, while ETF flows have cooled and institutional staking demand is becoming a bigger narrative.
$1,900 is the key support.
$2,000 is the breakout level.
A clean reclaim of $2,000 could bring momentum back fast.
Do you think ETH breaks $2,000 next? 👀

Crypto is “too large to ignore.”
Bank of America said it back in 2021.
Fast forward to 2026: the bank now has a dedicated Global Head of Digital Asset Transformation.
Crypto didn’t disappear.
Wall Street moved closer.
How much bigger can institutional adoption get? 👀

ETH is at a critical level. 👀
Ethereum is holding around $1,900, but bulls still need to reclaim $2,000 to confirm stronger momentum.
If ETH breaks and holds above $2K, the next leg higher could come quickly.
Will ETH reclaim $2,000 next — or revisit $1,800 first?

Bitcoin supply in profit is currently at one of its lowest levels.
The last time around 9 million BTC were in profit, Bitcoin was trading near $20K. From there, BTC eventually rallied to $70K.
Not saying the same thing will happen immediately, but it’s interesting to look at what happened the last time Bitcoin’s supply was at a similar level of loss.

🇺🇸 The OCC has conditionally approved a national trust bank charter for Trump-backed World Liberty Financial.
Once finalized, the charter would allow World Liberty to directly issue and custody its USD1 stablecoin under federal oversight.
This is a major step for stablecoins — crypto companies are moving deeper into the U.S. banking system.
Is this the beginning of a new era for regulated stablecoins? 👀

🇺🇸 Bitcoin is hovering around $63,000 as regulatory uncertainty weighs on the market.
The SEC unexpectedly canceled its crypto rulemaking meeting, while the CLARITY Act vote was pushed back.
My take: The long-term regulatory direction may still be improving, but the market clearly wants ACTION — not more delays.
Is this just a temporary setback, or does Bitcoin need a major catalyst to break higher? 👀

$ETH Now caught between the $1750 and $2100 levels.
Both have acted as strong support & resistance levels over the past 2 years.
ETH seems kind of in the middle of nowhere here. The big trend is obviously still down. Now the question is whether it can push higher and attempt a break at that $2100 high timeframe level, or if this is just another lower high in the down trend.
Breaking back above $1750 was the first sign of strength I wanted to see. $2100 would be the next.

$ETH Break from compression waiting room...
Think a minimum of $2.1K or $1750 are the levels to watch once ETH can break above $1950 or below $1850 respectively.
So still a decent move to follow upon a break and that is exactly what I'll be waiting for.

🚨 BREAKING
🇺🇸 TRUMP INSIDER WITH 100% WIN RATE JUST OPENED A MASSIVE $136,000,000.00 SHORT RIGHT AFTER THE U.S. MARKET OPENED!
THIS GUY MADE OVER $100 MILLION DURING THE OCTOBER FLASH CRASH IN 2025 AND JUST WENT ALL IN AGAIN.
LOOKS LIKE SOME BAD NEWS IS COMING TODAY...

🇺🇸 Citi still sees a bullish path for Bitcoin.
The bank’s earlier 2026 framework put BTC at $143,000 in its base case — and $189,000 in a bull case. 📈
The key question: can institutional demand and ETF flows bring that bull case back into focus?
$189K BTC in 2026 — possible or too ambitious? 👀

BTC DOMINANCE IS AT A KEY LEVEL
$BTC .D is facing resistance around the 60–61% zone and remains below the long-term trendline.
If dominance starts falling, liquidity could gradually rotate from BTC → ETH → alts → memes.
This doesn’t mean every altcoin will outperform, but the setup is worth watching closely.

Institutional demand for Bitcoin is showing no signs of slowing down. 📈
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are becoming a major gateway for traditional capital, while institutional ownership of BTC continues to expand.
The bigger question now:
How much institutional money is still waiting on the sidelines? 👀

The altcoin market is going through a massive reset. Right now, around 40% of altcoins are sitting near their all-time lows.
Sounds terrible. But this is where things get interesting.
▫️Weak projects are getting exposed
▫️Hype alone is no longer enough
▫️Investors are becoming more selective
▫️Strong projects are trading at much lower valuations
▫️Teams that keep building now deserve attention
One important reminder: Cheap doesn't automatically mean undervalued. A lot of these coins may never recover.
The opportunity is finding the small percentage that are still building, still growing, and s

🇺🇸 The CFTC is making one thing clear:
Crypto market structure is moving forward — with or without the CLARITY Act.
The agency says it plans to finalize its crypto rules before the end of the current administration.
That means regulatory clarity may be coming sooner than many expect. 👀
Do you think the U.S. is finally ready to become the global crypto hub? 🇺🇸

New CPI Numbers in ~2 hours 🚨
Last month we saw a big miss towards the downside. The forecast for July's numbers are pretty low. We also saw a drop in OIL during most of the month.
So not expecting too much craziness here. Obviously as always, lower is better as it keeps away any rate hikes in the nearby future.
Lower rates = better for risk assets
The current odds for a hike in September stand at 50/50.

Which one will it be $ETH ?
Consolidating within a ~5% range more or less for the past month.
When one of these sides breaks, it will likely see a quick acceleration. Possible good momentum trade following such a break.

🇺🇸 SEC is moving on crypto regulation.
The agency will meet on August 14 to consider launching a tailored rulemaking framework for certain crypto investment contracts.
The CLARITY Act may be delayed, but the regulatory machine isn’t waiting.
Crypto regulation in the U.S. is moving forward from multiple directions.
Which matters more for the market: Congress passing CLARITY, or the SEC moving first? 👀
