OpenAI officially announces: ChatGPT has over 1 billion active users worldwide, and more than 2 million enterprise customers.
These numbers are solid. It surpassed 1 million in just 5 days; reached 200 million in August 2024, 500 million in August 2025, and 800 million by October. Originally, internal estimates expected it to cross 1 billion by the end of last year—but it ended up taking about 5 more months to add the final 100 million. Growth has slowed, but the scale is already in a different league: To C is nearing its ceiling, while To B and agent tools are filling in the second curve—GPT-5.6 Sol, ChatGPT Work, and cheaper Terra/Luna. On the compute side, it’s still pushing Stargate and building data centers in South Korea together with Samsung and SK.
The mapping to crypto is straightforward: AI narratives no longer rely on PPT, but on real DAU and the number of paying enterprises. In the chain of compute, data, and agent economics, capital will continue to pick “things that can be implemented,” and vague concepts will be rapidly cleared out. For the short term, don’t mythologize a single coin—first, check whether market-wide risk appetite has been lifted by AI sentiment.
Watch the board in parallel: BTC 63286 (+0.326%), pressured near R1 63203; PP 62715.9, S1 62305.2. ETH 1871.01 (+0.104%), R1 1872.2 / PP 1846.41 / S1 1818.37. Funding rates are still low, and leverage isn’t crowded. Directionally, I’m neutral to slightly bullish: AI fundamentals are a mid-term positive for risk assets, but BTC needs to first hold above 63000 and digest the R1 pressure; for ETH, it depends on whether it can ride the move and break above 1872.
Galaxy has detected the third wave of the COLDCARD attack. It is estimated that losses have already exceeded $88 million. These types of events do not change the main BTC supply-demand trend in the short term, but they will amplify concerns about hardware wallet security—especially for users who still keep funds in any ColdCard model released after 2020. The key action should first return to a self-custody troubleshooting workflow: firmware source, seed phrase environment, signing device isolation, and the path for migrating funds.
In the market, BTC is currently trading at 63,431.4. The 24h high is 63,620.0 and the low is 62,228.8, with a gain of 0.591%. Trading volume is $4.69 billion, and the funding rate is 8.799e-05. Price is already above R1 63,203.0, suggesting the security incident has not yet crushed mainstream coin sentiment. If it later returns toward PP 62,715.9, we need to watch whether this is merely a pullback caused by the news.
ETH is trading at 1,875.62 and is also above R1 1,872.2. The funding rate is 9.301e-05, indicating risk appetite has not noticeably cooled.
Viewpoint: The security incident looks more like an on-chain/off-chain custody risk reminder rather than something that should be simply equated with a market trend reversal. In the short term, watch whether BTC can hold R1 63,203.0 and PP 62,715.9. If volume continues to hold up, the market may first absorb the news; if it falls back below PP, risk-aversion sentiment may spread more easily.
BSC Meme Coin Asteroid’s market cap drops below $3 million, with an intraday decline of 23.86%. The core of this type of small-cap narrative has shifted from sentiment-driven diffusion to liquidity validation. More importantly, BNB Chain has clarified that it did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the TST new token event, and stated that it is taking legal action against relevant former employees. The market’s trust discount toward memecoins on the same chain will be amplified accordingly.
In the short term, BNB itself has not gone out of control—price is 582.65, with a 24-hour drop of -1.209%. However, the fluctuation between the low of 573.7 and the high of 593.25 already shows that capital is still repricing events on-chain. If BNB continues to be tugged around PP 580.8, low-cap targets like Asteroid are more likely to be affected by order book depth. If BNB manages to reclaim R1 587.91, then sentiment will have a window for repair. The focus now isn’t how hot the story is, but whether trading volume and liquidity performance can keep up.
Trump Media transferred 2,628 BTC to Crypto.com about 6 hours ago. The on-chain activity itself is more worth watching than the loss number implied by the headline: the company bought at an average price of $118,529 last year, has sold 7,281 coins this year at an average price of about $74,860, and still holds 4,261 BTC.
For the market, this isn’t macro-level selling pressure, but it will reinforce a signal: funds held by a listed company that built positions at higher levels are also adjusting their holdings. In the short term, sentiment can easily be amplified by exchange-related flows.
On the board, BTC is currently at 62,991.5. The 24-hour high is 63,126.6 and the low is 62,228.8—very close to R1 at 63,203.0. If price continues to range above PP at 62,715.9, it suggests there is still support. If it falls back below PP, S1 at 62,305.2 will become the first watch level. ETH is currently at 1,855.81; its momentum is weaker than BTC. Focus on whether 1,846.41 can hold.
Swiss crypto bank Sygnum connects to Bancastato online banking, allowing clients in the Canton of Ticino to trade directly on the web and mobile platforms, and to hold BTC, ETH, LTC, and SOL—without needing to open a separate exchange account.
In the short term, this kind of news may not immediately change prices, but it reinforces a direction: European compliant banks are turning crypto assets into a standard feature of online banking, rather than an external add-on. For BTC and ETH, the incremental significance lies in smoother compliance on-ramps and a more natural pathway for long-term capital to reach them. For SOL and LTC, being included in the bank’s initial list of supported assets suggests that institutional channels still favor highly liquid, mainstream coins.
On the chart, BTC is currently 62,754.3, down slightly by -0.45% over the past 24 hours. It is closer to S1 at 61,716.5. The near-term focus is whether the low around 62,714.4 can hold. If price reclaims the PP at 63,553.9, the next target to watch would be R1 at 64,697.3. ETH is currently 1,860.04, down -0.719% over the past 24 hours. Below it is S1 at 1,827.31; above are PP at 1,881.65 and R1 at 1,916.03—key observation levels.
US SOL spot ETF yesterday saw net inflows of $395,400, driven entirely by MSOL; historical total net inflows have reached $19.8574 million, total net asset value of $860 million, and cumulative net inflows of $1.147 billion.
The daily amount isn’t large, but the pipeline is still there: institutional accumulation hasn’t stopped—it's just moving at a slower pace. The broader market is a bit weak: BTC 63063.7 (-0.89%), ETH 1868.59 (-0.71%), and it’s hard for altcoins to celebrate on their own.
Short-term view: funding is slightly bullish, but price still depends on the broader market. If the ETF can keep net inflows stable for several days in a row, SOL will have room for an independent rebound; if BTC keeps hovering near S1, downside pressure will outweigh the ETF’s positive effect.
First assess sustainability—don’t look at a single-day spike.

📊 Market Snapshot: BTC $63,068.9 (-1.03%), funding rate 0.002707% | ETH $1,868.12 (-0.73%), funding rate 0.004321% | BNB $578.66 (-2.40%) 📍 Daily trading levels: BTC sell at 64,697 / buy at 61,717 | ETH sell at 1,916 / buy at 1,827 | BNB sell at 594 / buy at 583
A full day of slow drifting down to close out; BTC can’t get above 63,550—so why pretend to be dead during the night session?
All of Saturday was a slow, chronic bleed. BTC is currently at 63,074, down -1.11% over 24H. After touching the high of 63,807, it slid back again. The low was 62,410. Trading volume was 7.2 billion USDT—decently average volume, with absolutely no taste of panic selling being dumped out. ETH at 1,866, -0.88%; BNB even more timid at 580, -1.99%, closing almost right on the intraday low.
The key levels are clear: the daily axis point PP is at 63,554, and most of the day has churned below PP. The high at 63,807 didn’t even manage to brush the edge of R1 at 64,697. The shorts didn’t even bother to give the rebound any room. The funding rates for BTC 0.0019% and ETH 0.0019% are still slightly positive, which means the longs haven’t been fully flushed out—they’re still paying to stand guard. This kind of half-dead, directionless slow bleed is more annoying than a crash, because there’s no emotional liquidation.
The day’s recap in three sentences: 1. Rebounds can’t get past PP; the structure remains bearish and hasn’t changed. 2. The low at 62,410 saw some support, but the buyers look more like grid traders and dip-buyers—not trend-following capital. 3. BNB led the drop; altcoin sentiment keeps getting bled. Don’t expect weekend rotation to rescue you.
Direction: downward risk increases. As long as the night session can’t close back above 63,550, the next step is to watch the earlier low at 62,400 being tested again. If that breaks, it will directly aim for the daily buy zone around 61,717. Want to go long? First take down the cover plate at 63,550–63,800. If you can’t, it’s just a window to distribute on rebounds.
Night session / next-day outlook: Weekend liquidity is thin. What you fear most isn’t a sudden crash—it’s a slow bleed that keeps going. If, before the Asia session, price continues to chop sideways in the 62,800–63,300 range, it’s likely just storing momentum for next week’s open. If price breaks down below 62,400 on increasing volume, that’s when a decent long “trial-and-error” will appear near 61,700. ETH is in sync: if it can’t hold above 1,880, it will keep tracking BTC weakness; 1,827 is its daily buy-point defense line. BNB is already hugging 580—if it weakens further, the next test is the axis-point support around 582–583. Don’t rush to catch a break.
Don’t comfort yourself in this half-hearted slow drift by saying “it can’t drop anymore.” Between “it can’t drop” and “it’s about to drop,” there’s often just one candlestick that pulls liquidity away. Tonight, first see whether it can reclaim 63,550. If it can’t, don’t pretend to be bullish.
Zhibao 1.547 billion USD BTC private placement: Is another listed company scooping up the dip?
Zhibao Technology announced that it has completed a $154.7 million Bitcoin equity-funded private placement, totaling 2,380 BTC. The participants are non-U.S. investors. Chinese listed companies are once again using equity financing to directly swap for BTC. This isn’t “faith” being talked about—it’s real money, brick by brick.
At a rough $154.7 million / 2,380 BTC, the implied trade price is around $65,000 per coin, almost right on top of the current BTC level of $63,044. The funding rate is nearly flat (0.0022%), so neither side dared to push hard. But on the institutional side, they’re still quietly adding positions through the primary market.
On direction, the data is mildly bullish: spot ETFs keep accumulating, listed companies continue to hoard coins, yet the price is still consolidating around the $63k area. The key is whether the daily-line buy zone near $61,700 can hold. If it holds, a pullback will be a buy/add window; if it breaks, then watch for lower ranges. The first resistance is near the daily-line sell point around $64,700.
In one sentence: retail traders are arguing in the order book, while listed companies have already moved the bricks in the primary market.
A Massive Whale Cleans Up Another 7,919 ETH: Chips Averaging $1,771 Are Still Being Accumulated
According to Lookonchain monitoring, an address bought an additional 7,919.5 ETH today, worth about $14.89 million. Since June 30, this whale has accumulated a total of 74,265 ETH at an average price of $1,771 (about $132 million), and also bought 1,050 WBTC at an average price of $64,277 (about $67.49 million). The total comes to nearly $200 million.
Spot ETH is trading at $1,869, down 0.72% over the past 24 hours. The funding rate is only 0.0013%, close to neutral. The whale’s cost basis is around $1,770, and the current price is still in profit. This kind of sustained accumulation looks more like a mid-term positioning rather than a one-night sentiment trade. Bulls have an edge in the short term, but don’t treat “someone is buying” as a mindless chase—what really matters is whether support at $1,827 holds.
Key reference: If it holds the $1,880–$1,916 range, upside room opens. If it pulls back and loses $1,827, the accumulation narrative will cool immediately.
In one sentence: Smart money is still quietly “building bricks” above $1,800, while retail traders always end up scaring each other off during consolidation.

ETH spot ETF net inflow 9.03 million, BlackRock’s ETHB alone takes 15.38 million—yet the price is still falling?
On the U.S. East Coast on July 31, Ethereum spot ETFs recorded total net inflows of $9.0295 million. The strongest performer was BlackRock’s Staked ETH ETF (ETHB), with a single-day net inflow of $15.3831 million; its historical cumulative inflow has already reached $544 million. Bitwise’s ETHW, in contrast, saw a net outflow of $2.5371 million. As of the time of writing, the total net asset value of Ethereum spot ETFs is $10.229 billion, accounting for 4.55% of ETH’s market cap. Historically, cumulative net inflows are $11.21 billion.
At the current price, ETH is $1,868, down 0.93% over 24 hours, and the funding rate is close to zero. Institutions are buying the spot ETFs, but the market price is still drifting lower—classic “buy orders can’t absorb the selling pressure.” To regain momentum, bulls at least need to hold above the $1,880–$1,916 zone; if $1,827 is lost, downside room will continue to open up.
While ETFs are accumulating, the derivatives market is releasing pressure. Don’t automatically equate “net inflows” with an immediate surge—when funds enter and when price is realized are never on the same day.

Tether cuts its safety cushion in half—can even BTC’s axis be pulled back?
Don’t pretend you didn’t see it at midday. In Q2, Tether’s excess reserves were slashed from about $8.2 billion to $4.1 billion—nearly halved; in the first half, they even posted a negative $3.2 billion on paper. The profit of the stablecoin giant may fall back, but when the safety cushion is cut in half, the market won’t only talk about “faith.”
Look at the tape again: BTC at 63,070, down 1.89% in 24h. The high of 64,477 slid to the low of 62,410, with $9.1 billion worth of U traded. ETH at 1,869, also down 1.89%. The funding rate is still slightly positive—prices are drifting lower, and long positions haven’t been cleaned out. This isn’t the end of a shakeout; the “hold-the-trade” grind is still not over.
Key levels haven’t changed: 1. The daily pivot PP at 63,554. After the morning breakdown, it still hasn’t been reclaimed. If the rebound can’t get back through it, the continuation logic for shorts remains effective. 2. Next support to watch is the daily buy zone at 61,716. After it’s lost, the thin weekend liquidity will reset the downside space again. 3. The daily sell point above at 64,697 is still the bulls’ ceiling. Unless volume returns and price stands back above it, don’t rush to turn a slow bleed into “building a base.”
ETH is even more fragile. The current price is below the axis at 1,882. Daily sell point: 1,916; daily buy point: 1,827. If BTC keeps grinding lower for shorts, ETH will most likely test the 1,827 area first. BNB is relatively more resilient: 592, up slightly by 0.46%, grinding just above the axis, but it can’t drive the broader market rhythm.
Direction: short signals are clear. In the afternoon, prioritize scenarios where rebounds fail against the resistance band 63,300–63,550, then look for a trend-following dip toward 62,200–61,700. Only if price is able to reclaim 63,550 with volume and hold above it will the short thesis need to be reassessed. USDT itself is still the liquidity backbone, but the “excess reserves halved” means defensive capital will be more selective—less elasticity in risk assets is not an excuse to stack leverage at low levels.
What the market hates most over the weekend is this kind of setup: the news backdrop throws cold water, price doesn’t drop deeply, and fees still don’t flip negative. It looks like it’s holding up, but the liquidation window hasn’t opened yet. Don’t mistake sideways action for resilience.
Tether excess reserves are cut in half by 4.1 billion, but is the USDT safety cushion still solid enough?
Tether’s Q2 financial report is out: excess reserves dropped sharply from about $8.2 billion at the end of Q1 to $4.1 billion—nearly halving; the first half’s financial results were down by $3.2 billion. In Q1, it still reported net profit of about $1 billion, which implies that the bookkeeping pressure in Q2 must be extremely heavy. Year-over-year, it’s even worse—2025 Q2 net profit was about $4.9 billion, while this year’s Q2 net operating profit is only $1.5 billion (excluding unrealized gains/losses such as BTC/gold and others).
A stablecoin giant’s profit decline doesn’t automatically mean USDT is immediately in trouble, but the market loves to use the “thickness of the safety cushion” as an emotional switch. BTC is currently around 62,979, down 2.1% over 24H, and the funding rate is still slightly positive; ETH is around 1,867 as prices pull back in sync. Risk appetite was already weak—add the narrative of shrinking stablecoin reserves on top, and short-term longs shouldn’t pretend they don’t see it.
The direction: bearish signals are clearer. If BTC breaks and loses the 61,700 area, the downside space will be re-priced; on rebounds, first watch whether it can hold in the 63,600–64,700 zone. USDT itself is still the liquidity backbone, but a “halved excess reserve” will make defensive capital more selective.
In one sentence: Profit can fall, but when the safety cushion gets cut in half, the market won’t only talk about belief.

Fidelity-linked wallets split and transfer 260,000 ETH—are institutions repositioning or distributing?
On-chain monitoring shows that Fidelity-linked wallets have split and transferred 260,000 ETH (about $500 million) into three new addresses: 95,000, 87,000, and 78,000 ETH. These wallets were first funded by Fidelity six months ago. This time isn’t a minor consolidation—it’s a structural relocation on the scale of hundreds of millions.
Spot ETH is currently priced at 1865, down 3.0% in the past 24 hours. The funding rate is only 0.0055%, so long leverage isn’t crowded. But the price is already nearing the daily buy zone around 1827. Meanwhile, an institutional-scale split-off outflow looks more like internal redistribution or OTC pre-positioning—not a “buy-the-dip signal” in the retail narrative.
Direction: In the short term, ETH is slightly bearish. First, watch whether it can hold 1827. If it breaks, downside space opens up. A rebound toward around 1916 is where you can observe whether the longs step back in.
BTC is moving in tandem to the downside, slipping to 62902. Before it breaks below the daily buy point of 61716, it’s hard to call for a trend reversal across risk assets.
In one sentence: Institutions are moving pieces on the board—don’t treat wallet splitting as a reason to believe in an adding-to-positions narrative.
BTC smashed through the pivot overnight—are you still fantasizing about a V-shaped reversal?
First, check the data in the morning: BTC is currently 62,922, down 3.18% over the past 24h. The high was 65,391, then it slid all the way to the low at 62,410. Trading volume: $10.9B U. ETH is also weak in sync at 1,865, down 3.14%. The funding rate is still slightly positive—while prices are being dumped, longs haven’t fully been liquidated yet. This isn’t a bottom; it’s longs holding the line.
Key levels are clear: 1. The daily pivot (PP) is 63,554. It has already broken below it. If the rebound can’t reclaim it, further downside would confirm the bears’ continuation. 2. Next support to watch is the daily buy point at 61,716. If it breaks down decisively, downside room will open up quickly. 3. The daily sell point above at 64,697 is currently the ceiling for bulls. Without volume to reclaim and stand back above it, don’t rush to call a reversal.
ETH is even more fragile. Its current price is below the pivot at 1,881. The daily sell point is 1,916, and the buy point is 1,827. If BTC continues grinding lower with bearish momentum, ETH will most likely first test the 1,827 area. BNB is relatively more resilient—589, basically grinding right along the pivot—but don’t expect it to set the pace on its own.
Direction: Bearish signals are obvious. In the early session, prioritize watching whether the rebound fails under the 63,550–63,700 resistance zone, then probe lower within 62,000–61,700. Only if there’s heavy volume to reclaim 63,550 and it holds steady does the short thesis need to be reassessed. Buying a falling knife at this level feels pretty much the same as those who were calling “belief” at yesterday’s highs—the mood is probably similar.
Weekend liquidity is thin. A single push can smash through key psychological levels. Don’t treat the slow grind lower as just a “shakeout,” and don’t treat a slightly positive funding rate as the return of the bulls—funding hasn’t turned negative yet, which suggests the people holding positions are still there. The real liquidation window comes after.

Uniswap Launches Unlockless Earn: One-Click Interest on USDC/USDT/ETH with No Lockup
Uniswap has launched Earn in its Web App and Wallet, supporting deposits of USDC, USDT, and ETH to earn interest. With a single signature, you can deposit; your funds remain self-custodied throughout the process. There is no lockup and no cooldown, and you can withdraw at any time. At the base layer, Morpho provides the lending infrastructure, and Gauntlet handles portfolio configuration. It’s currently running on the Ethereum mainnet. Uniswap charges no additional fees—only network gas. Positions and earnings can be viewed together in Portfolio.
As of now, ETH is trading around 1,874, down 2.36% over 24H. The funding rate is close to zero. BTC is at 63,049, down 2.74%. When the broader market is weak, this unlockless stablecoin/ETH interest entry can divert some “idle positions” into a low-stress hold to earn yield, rather than forcing you to endure volatility. Short-term bearish signals are still present. For ETH, watch resistance near 1,938 on the daily chart; if it breaks below the 1,895 support level, downside risk increases. Bulls need to wait until it holds above 1,900 before discussing any recovery.
In one sentence: DEX brings “checking-account-style yield” into your wallet. In a bull market, it’s all about returns; in a bear market, it’s about whether you can exit anytime.
1,600 BTC mysterious transfer of 102 million: the price gets smashed through 62,000 first
Just appeared on-chain: a transfer between two unknown wallets involving about 1,600 BTC (roughly $102 million). The amount isn’t small, but neither party’s address has been publicly tagged with an identity—so for now, it can only be treated as a “large anomaly.” Don’t rush to imagine some institution-bargain-buying storyline.
At the moment, BTC’s price is around 62,606, down 3.16% in 24H. It has already left the daily-line buy point at 63,832 behind. The range from the high of 65,391 to the low of 62,410—this whole segment is a classic pattern of high-level distribution followed by an emotional sell-off.
The funding rate is only about 0.005%. The longs haven’t been knocked to their knees yet, but it’s also not accurate to say the shorts are surrendering either.
The direction is clear: short-side signals are dominant. First, watch whether price can hold steady around 62,000–62,400. If 62,000 is lost, the next level of resistance will likely keep pressing lower. If there’s a rebound, the real thing to watch is a pullback into the 63,800–65,400 supply zone—that’s the proving ground for the bulls to regain control, not a place to randomly call a reversal.
Large transfers can be intimidating, but the price has already voted with its feet—on-chain is lively, while the market first taught people a lesson.
Bonk Guy Calls Out: The New Chain Meme Keeps Rotating to Manufacture Losses
Bonk Guy (Unipcs) directly points to the current market ailment: for every new public chain that comes out, CT and on-chain traders scramble to push Meme narratives—essentially, it’s just a rotating search for fresh loss opportunities. Two weeks ago, the Robinhood Chain lit up hype around the Base ecosystem, but the momentum didn’t hold. Last week, it was Stable Chain branded as the “next Robinhood,” yet the highest market-cap Meme on that chain has already pulled back by about 90%, and most projects haven’t even managed to accumulate real attention.
He isn’t against Tether / Arc building stablecoin infrastructure, but he’s against forcing every new chain into a Meme-get-rich story. His advice: only focus on networks with an existing user base—like Robinhood Chain, Solana, and BNB Chain. If there’s no ecosystem and no users, the narrative is just air.
Based on the tape: BTC is currently $63,710, down 1.56% over 24H, and it has just broken below the daily buy level. ETH is $1,884, down 1.82% over 24H, with funding rates turning negative. When the broader market is weak, the liquidity “bloodletting” effect of new-chain Memes will only get worse. Bearish signals are clear—prioritize protecting the mainstream, and don’t pay tuition on the “next new chain.”
Key levels: For BTC, first see whether it can reclaim $63,832—if it can’t hold, expect further downside. For BNB, relatively resilient at $593; you can watch the $577 support zone.
In one sentence: New chains keep showing up every day, Memes get buried every day—what survives at the end is never the narrative, it’s the users.
