El Salvador Keeps Stacking Bitcoin!

El Salvador now holds 7,743 $BTC, worth roughly $490M, and continues to add Bitcoin almost every day. The interesting part is not just the size of the stack, it's the consistency. Despite every market cycle, the country has not sold a single Bitcoin since the program began.

Conviction shows when the market gets noisy!

Gold Is 22% Below Its ATH. Central Banks Are Buying More - $BTC Next?

+62% that's how much central-bank gold buying jumped YoY in Q2, reaching 289 tonnes. We just talked about the Bank of Korea taking a $250M gold ETF position after 13 years. Now the broader picture makes that move look much less isolated.

In Q2:

- Poland → +51t
- China -> +33t, its biggest quarter since 2023
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan →+ 16t
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan →+15t

And there may be more coming: a record 45% of surveyed central banks say they expect to increase their own gold reserves over the next 12 months.

Gold gets much less attention now than when it was printing ATH after ATH. But central banks haven't lost interest maybe something is starting to build again on the traditional-assets side...

Capital B bought another 5 $BTC for €280,000, bringing its strategic #Bitcoin holdings to 3,145 #BTC.

The company funded the purchase through new shares, continuing its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Capital B says its BTC Yield is 2.14% YTD, meaning its Bitcoin per fully diluted share has increased.

The interesting part: Capital B keeps buying while Strategy has been selling BTC to fund dividends and share buybacks.

For now, the key question is whether Capital B can keep increasing BTC per share as it
raises more capital.

Goldman Sachs is buying its way deeper into crypto ETFs

Goldman Sachs has agreed to acquire NEOS Investments for $2.25B, a deal that will give the bank control of three crypto ETFs focused on $BTC and Ethereum options. The funds are:

NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI) - $1B+ in AUM
Boosted Bitcoin High Income ETF (XBCI)
Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI)

NEOS currently manages 19 ETFs with around $30B in assets. After the acquisition, Goldman Sachs expects its combined ETF assets to exceed $130B, making it the 8th-largest ETF provider globally.

The interesting part is that these aren't traditional spot crypto ETFs. They use options strategies to generate income, including covered calls.

Goldman Sachs had previously filed for its own Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, but Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas believes the NEOS acquisition effectively gives the bank a faster route into the same market.

SpaceXAI is official: The $60B Cursor acquisition changes the game

SpaceX just finalized its record-breaking $60 Billion all-stock acquisition of Anysphere, the team behind Al coding agent Cursor!

Cursor is officially becoming a key subsidiary under the rebranded SpaceXAI umbrella. The main catalyst? Gaining direct access to xAl's Colossus supercomputer and the world's largest GPU fleet to train next-gen models like Grok 4.6 and power Grok Bot.

Wall Street is taking notice - Morgan Stanley projects this software pivot could add up to $13B in revenue by 2027, placing long-term stock price targets as high as $600.

Just as $BTC transformed from a tech experiment into global monetary infrastructure, tech titans are learning that raw compute and Al agents are the ultimate hard assets of this decade.

White House reportedly plans crypto $BTC industry meeting next week

The White House is reportedly preparing a meeting with crypto industry executives and prediction market leaders next week, according to Politico, citing three sources familiar with the plans.

Executives from traditional financial companies could also join the meeting, while Donald Trump's attendance has not yet been confirmed.

The timing is notable: the meeting could take place just one day before the first session of the new CFTC Advisory Committee on Innovation, scheduled for August 20.

The committee includes executives from crypto, finance, gaming and prediction market companies.

What If the CLARITY Act Never Passes?

The CLARITY Act is supposed to answer one of $BTC crypto's biggest US questions: wh regulates what (the SEC or CFTC) and what rules crypto companies have to follow.

We've spent a lot of this year stressing over every headline around those names.. and maybe it's time to relax a little?

🇺🇸 Chris Perkins, Head of Franklin Crypto at Franklin Templeton, says crypto would be "just fine" even if the bill never becomes law. He argues that regulatory clarity is already being built through the agencies themselves:

• the SEC and CFTC are developing clearer rules under Paul Atkins and Michael Selig
• their joint work shows progress doesn't have to wait for Congress

So in his view, $BTC and the rest of crypto can keep getting a clearer US rulebook even without this much-discussed bill.

I'd still like to see CLARITY pass, though. Europe already has MICA creating one common framework for crypto, and it would be good to get another strong signal from the US too.

But if CLARITY stalls, it probably isn't the disaster many expected

Strategy holds $53B in $BTC

The bigger question isn't whether they sell it's whether an index rule could force the market to react.

If passive funds are required to rebalance, a technical rule could create real selling pressure, regardless of long-term conviction.

Bitcoin's liquidity will be tested. Watch the flows.

+8,000% Profit Unlocked? Ancient BTC Moves $7M+ After A Decade of Silence

The market is keeping everyone on their toes this week. $BTC is down about 2% over the last seven days, currently floating around $63,030. Between broader macro noise and the delayed U.S. CLARITY Act, traders are playing it safe.

But behind the scenes, something much more interesting is happening.

According to Galaxy Research, four ancient wallets- inactive for over 12 years - just transferred a total of 114.39 BTC in less than 48 hours. We're talking about wallets created back in early 2014 when BTC was trading around a modest $814.

That's a massive +8,000% gain sitting on those balances.

Here is how it went down:

• On August 11, three 2014-era wallets moved 87.43 BTC across three separate transactions.
• Just a day prior, a fourth wallet from the same era transferred 26.96 BTC.
• The funds ended up in fresh, modern P2SH-script wallets.

Moving coins doesn't automatically mean a market dump is incoming. In fact, OG holders often move funds simply to upgrade security protocols, shift to modern cold storage, or rebalance custody setups. However, given how sensitive the market is right now especially with memories of Mt. Gox payouts keeping supply fears alive any sudden wake-up call from early whales gets immediate attention..

If these ancient coins eventually hit exchanges, we could see short-term sell pressure. But until then, it's a strong reminder: patience in crypto pays off big time.

BREAKING: 🇨🇭 Switzerland's central bank
just announced it owns $64,000,000 worth of $BTC exposure through #MSTR.

Europe is waking up to BTC, and this is another signal that institutional interest is spreading beyond the usual markets.

The game theory is playing out globally.
Central banks, institutions and major investors are increasingly finding ways to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

The bigger question now: who moves first, and who gets left behind?

JPMorgan Doubles Bitcoin ETF Exposure and Adds Ethereum, XRP Back

Even as spot $BTC ETFs see unstable daily flows, JPMorgan is quietly increasing its crypto exposure. The bank's Q2 filing shows $355.7M in BlackRock IBIT holdings, up sharply from roughly $162M in Q1, while Ethereum ETF exposure jumped 338%

Meanwhile, JPMorgan returned to XRP through Bitwise and Grayscale ETFs, while also adding a new position in the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF. Its Ethereum position reached about $14.3M, still more than 20x smaller than its Bitcoin exposure.

The filing shows a clear hierarchy: Bitcoin remains the main institutional bet, Ethereum is growing fast, and $XRP is slowly returning to the mix. With the next 13F due in November, the key question is whether JPMorgan keeps adding crypto exposure in Q3 or starts cutting back.

RATE HIKE ODDS ARE COLLAPSING.

Markets now price just 32.1% odds of a September Fed hike.

CPI came in line with expectations while PPI came in cooler than expected.

Thats a much friendlier setup for risk assets.

If rate hike expectations keep falling does $BTC finally get the macro tailwind its been waiting for?
