The Blockchain Association Backs the GENIUS Act! Are Stablecoins Finally About to Leave the “Wild West” Era?
Why is one bill making the crypto industry so excited?
In the past, stablecoins were a bit like someone carrying a business card that said “U.S. dollars” but constantly being asked, “Do you actually have the money?” The market wanted to use them, institutions wanted to integrate them, and regulators were still asking: Where are the reserves? Who manages the risks?
On July 18, 2025, U.S. President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, establishing a federal regulatory framework for payment stable

Comparison of Bitcoin's historical bull and bear cycle times $BTC
2015–2017: A 35-month bull market
2017–2018: A 12-Month Bear Market
2018–2021: A 35-month bull market
2021–2022: A 12-Month Bear Market
2022–2025: A 35-month bull market
2026–2027: We are here now.
Based on the fact that the cryptocurrency market began its bear market last October, this current bear market has been going on for 12 months, and from a timeline perspective, it has now ended.

$Q This plunge wasn't caused by a single bearish catalyst, but by a triple whammy: “the short-squeeze gains are tapped out + whales cashing out at the highs + a global AI retreat and bond-market turmoil delivering the final blow.” The more brutally shorts were liquidated before, the more painful the longs' capitulation is now!

Bitcoin has another whale! Strive scoops up 36,818 BTC—is it buying the dip or making a big move?
While ordinary investors are still debating whether to sell when Bitcoin rises or buy when it falls, one company has made buying crypto look like stocking up for free.
It’s Strive! In its latest disclosure, the company held 36,818 BTC, having bought 4,045 BTC just last week at an average price of about $82,803.
What does that look like? While others stock up on rice for the holidays, it moves “hard currency” straight into its digital vault. Of course, buying a lot doesn’t guarantee profits, and a

Honestly, this suitcase is really good. The logo is very subtle and well hidden, so outsiders can’t tell it’s from the crypto world. The overall design is also minimalist. Thanks to yiyi for the suitcase. @Ceee333_

Is 36818 Bitcoin Just the Beginning? Strive Keeps Adding to Its Holdings as the Logic Behind Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation Changes
If a company buys a few bitcoins, it could be called testing the waters; if it keeps adding until it holds 36818, the business logic behind it is worth taking seriously.
Strive’s latest disclosure shows holdings of 36818 BTC, and it bought a total of 4045 BTC last week. This move sends a message: for some companies, Bitcoin is no longer just a ticker on a trading screen, but has become part of long-term considerations around corporate asset allocation and capi

Market snapshot: Brent is around $110 (+0.5%; Reuters said today it was near a five-month high), and WTI is around $98.8.
Yesterday morning’s “price test chose down” call hasn’t been overturned, but expectations for de-escalation are being challenged today; BTC is around 81,500 (-1.6%), with the key 80,000 level holding.

BIG MOVE FROM BLACKROCK.
🇺🇸 The $15.5T asset manager has filed for another Bitcoin ETF designed to reduce downside risk during BTC sell-offs.
This could mark another step in Bitcoin’s institutional evolution, as investors gain access to more sophisticated ways to manage BTC exposure.
