$ADA Cardano ($ADA ) founder Charles Hoskinson stated that the $ADA ecosystem needs to regain its strength by highlighting the network’s decentralized governance structure and the upcoming Leios update.

Hoskinson stated that the Cardano community can determine the future of the network without needing any central authority. He explained that the community can come together to create a roadmap, allocate resources for this plan, vote, and implement the accepted changes, arguing that Cardano is a truly decentralized ecosystem that is constantly evolving itself.

Hoskinson announced that Leios will be Cardano’s next major technical update, claiming that this upgrade will increase the network’s performance by approximately 60 times.

$BTC The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation barometer just did something it hasn’t done in six years: it went down. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, the metric Fed officials cite more than any other when debating interest rate decisions, fell from 3.4% in May to 3.3% in June 2026. That’s a small number on paper. In the context of the Fed’s multi-year inflation battle, it’s a meaningful one.

Bitcoin, for its part, didn’t seem particularly moved. Prices held in a range of roughly $58,000 to $63,000 in the days following the release, with no major volatility spikes or significant liquidation events recorded.

What the PCE number actually means

Core PCE is essentially the Fed’s version of a filtered inflation reading. It strips out food and energy prices, which tend to swing around based on things like weather and geopolitics, and focuses on the steadier underlying trend in consumer spending.

#FTX will begin an approximately $900 million fifth distribution under its Chapter 11 plan on Friday, July 31, paying holders of allowed Convenience and Non-Convenience claims who met the June 16 record-date and applicable pre-distribution requirements.

Eligible creditors should receive funds from BitGo, Kraken or Payoneer within one to three business days from July 31, according to FTX’s fifth-distribution notice.

FTX’s July 24 creditor FAQ distinguishes allowed-claim status from readiness for payment. The original claim holder had to satisfy the Plan’s know-your-customer requirements by June 16. Once the claim was allowed, its holder also had to submit a valid tax form, successfully onboard with a distribution provider and pass sanctions screening by that date.

$SHIB 2.96 Billion SHIB Burned in Biggest Weekly Burn of Year.

2.96 billion SHIB burn sparks fresh talk of Shiba Inu supply shock.

According to the Shibburn website, 2.96 billion SHIB were burned in the last seven days. The latest figure represents a notable increase in SHIB tokens burned compared to recent weeks.

$ESP and $MMT are the top gainer today. $ESP is leading the way.

ESP is indeed leading today’s top gainers with a +30.95% surge, now at 0.08119 Kč.
MMT follows with +16.41%, priced at 0.2078 Kč.

$BTC Spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) traded in the US showed a different picture in terms of investor activity. According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $32.11 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs experienced a net outflow of $18.65 million. The data revealed that institutional investor interest continued in Bitcoin, while short-term profit-taking continued in Ethereum funds.

$BANK plummeted 30% in 24h to $0.1204 amid intense outflow, despite ongoing tokenised Bitcoin staking developments

🚨 What's Causing the Crash?

1. Post-Listing Hype Cooling: The token was recently listed on major exchanges like KuCoin (July 22) and Binance. The surge often reverses sharply after the initial hype fades.
2. Large Token Movements: On July 20, a wallet linked to the BANK Foundation transferred 84 million BANK tokens to an exchange deposit address, which often signals selling pressure.

$ADA — My First Love in Crypto 💙

Cardano was my first. The first token I ever bought, the first project I truly believed in, and the first time I turned a profit online. That feeling? Unforgettable.

Yes, the charts aren't pretty right now. The market is cold, patience is tested, and doubt creeps in. But here's what I know:

Cardano isn't built on hype—it's built on science. Peer-reviewed research. Methodical development. Real-world utility. This isn't a meme coin; it's a movement. And movements don't die—they evolve.

If you hold ADA, you're not just holding a token. You're holding conviction. You're holding vision. You're holding through the noise because you understand that bull markets reward the patient.

So HODL. Not blindly—but intentionally. Remember why you bought in the first place. The same tech, the same team, the same roadmap that excited you then is still here—building, improving, advancing.

The sun will rise on ADA again. And when it does, we'll look back at these quiet days and be grateful we stayed.

Stay strong, stay steady, stay Cardano. 🚀🦎

$DEXE declined 10.1% over 24 hours to $2.58, driven by macro market contagion and sustained capital outflow .

$BTC I Put My Own Relationship With President Trump on the Line’

Lummis said that Republicans conceded the most on ethics provisions on prohibiting federal officials, including President Donald Trump, from profiting from cryptocurrency. #BANK

“President Trump voluntarily delivered the strongest set of ethics provisions in U.S. history,” she stated. “I put my own relationship with President Trump on the line.”

The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)-supportive lawmaker urged Democrats to do “what’s best for American innovation” above partisan politics

“After nearly 11 months of giving almost everything asked of us, I genuinely don’t know what else my Democrat colleagues need before we act,” Lummis said.

$TRUMP The U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. Wednesday stateside, retaliating against Iranian missile attacks on American forces in the region, raising the specter of escalating conflict after a brief pause.

U.S. Central Command described the operation as a “powerful response” to Tuesday’s “attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.

The fresh strikes come after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted American forces in the Gulf region with multiple ballistic missiles late Tuesday stateside, although all of them were intercepted. Jordan’s armed forces said the country’s air defenses intercepted five missiles launched from Iran.

$BTC The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged Wednesday, but the central bank’s latest policy decision could still have significant implications for household budgets.

Higher energy prices stemming from the Iran conflict may have lasting inflationary effects, which likely contributed to the Fed’s decision to leave rates on hold as policymakers wait to gauge the economic fallout, economists said. The dynamic could also lead policymakers to consider raising rates at their September meeting, even as President Donald Trump has said that the U.S. “should have the lowest interest rate in the world.”

$SHIB Shiba Inu saw one of its biggest 2026 price performances this week after it registered a daily price surge of over 35%, drawing attention from market analysts.

However, the same was not true for its layer 2 network, Shibarium, which saw its trading activity consistently move near zero all week.

Shibarium DEX volume drops to $72

After a week of extremely slow onchain performances across the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem on the Shibarium network, the latest data provided by DeFiLlama shows a substantial drop in Shibarium's DEX volume.

Per the data, Shibarium has witnessed a massive 95% decline in its DEX volume over the last week, sitting at $72 as of Wednesday, July 29.

While DEX volumes typically indicate the strength or weakness of a network, the massive drop on the Shibarium network shows that users are barely swapping assets or interacting with decentralized applications on the network.

$CL Crude oil prices rose sharply Wednesday, after President Donald Trump said the U.S. will hit Iran hard in retaliation for an attempted surprise attack on American forces in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures, the international benchmark, gained 7.4% to $90.35 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures also advanced about 7.4% to $85.11.

Trump told Fox News that Iran “is going to get a beating” after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at U.S. forces. “We’ll be hitting them hard,” the president said.

Iran targeted a U.S. base in Jordan, according to a report from Axios. U.S. Central Command said the missiles were successfully intercepted.

U.S. and Saudi forces, meanwhile, struck “multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites” in eastern Iraq on Tuesday, retaliating against more than 30 drone attacks in the past three days by “Iran-aligned terrorists,” Centcom said.

$BTC The crypto market is mixed before the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision later Wednesday. The CoinDesk 20 Index has added 0.41% since midnight UTC, with 10 members advancing and 10 declining.

Bitcoin $BTC $64,491.67, the largest cryptocurrency, added 0.75% to claw back some of Tuesday's losses after a volatile 48 hours that saw it spike to $66,700 last week before crashing to $62,400 in the wake of the rout in South Korean stocks.

Inflation running at 4.1% makes the case for the Fed to raise the fed funds target rate for the first time in three years. Balanced against that, a pause in Iran-U.S. hostilities has taken some of the heat out of oil prices and slightly trimmed the odds of an increase.

Ether ($ETH) is down 0.13% on the day. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 index futures are both positive, while gold holds above $4,000 and silver gained 1.40%, suggesting markets are hedging rather than committing ahead of the announcement.

$NVDAB Cathie Wood’s ARK Buys $40M In Tesla, SpaceX, NVIDIA Stocks Despite Global AI Selloff #TSLA

The global sell-off in AI stocks that wiped billions off technology stocks and caused major equity markets to tumble on Tuesday, July 28. However, Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest added over $40 million worth of Tesla, SpaceX and NVIDIA shares.

$EUL has made a cradle like pattern which is usually bullish reversal pattern that suggests potential trend reversal from downtrend .

$BTC Citadel, one of the largest hedge funds in the U.S., managing $67 billion in assets, is calling for markets to brace for a 25-basis-point interest rate hike from Chair Kevin Warsh, not in September but later on Wednesday. That would lift the Fed's benchmark borrowing cost to the 3.75%-4% range.

Meanwhile, both crypto and traditional market analysts expect no change. Crypto exchange Kraken's economist Thomas Perfumo put it best: "The most likely outcome of July's FOMC meeting is no change in interest rates."

That tension is why a surprise rate hike Wednesday could send already buoyant Treasury yields higher, creating a headwind for risk assets, including bitcoin and the wider crypto market.

Note that while the consensus favors no change, the market isn't entirely dismissing a hike.
