Crypto Brief | August 7, 2026 BTC holds near $64,700–$65,000 after the weaker-than-expected July jobs report (–23k jobs vs +80k forecast). Softer labor data is supporting risk assets and easing near-term rate-hike pressure. US spot Bitcoin ETFs are on a strong run, pulling in roughly $750M this week — the best weekly haul since April. Inflows continued on Thursday with another $128M–$137M, led by BlackRock IBIT. Whales have added over 20,000 BTC since late July. Oil remains the swing factor. Brent sits around $82–$83 as Hormuz reopening talks continue but face fee disputes and fresh regional friction. Lower energy prices earlier in the week helped sentiment; any escalation quickly reintroduces a headwind. Institutional bid stays firm even with the CLARITY Act delayed to September. Rangebound action continues, with jobs data providing a modest tailwind. $BTC $ETH $SOL #ETF #Oil #Hormuz #JobsReport #MarketUpdate
