In 2026, 2022, and 2018, a red May and June were followed by a green July.
$BTC has already risen 11% this month, so that trend repeated.
And in 2022 and 2018, that green July was followed by red August and September.
Which means August and September should also be red this year.
Everyone always says “this time is different,” but I haven’t seen any reason to believe it yet.
Since the start of this correction, everything is still following the same pattern as in the two previous cycles.

BitMart begins the gradual closure of all its operations
The company attributed the decision to the current "operating conditions and the market environment." The exchange will suspend all trading services within a month. Family, very good morning to everyone, just in case you haven't heard yet, the BitMArt Exchange announced the official closure of its platform 😰
That means that the campaigns from the last 2 weeks unfortunately won't be paid by the exchange. I apologize for that; we had never had problems with them before—they were always punctual. These are situations that I can't control 😔
Oxford Economics: Venezuelan debt equals 290% of GDP and the bonds are near their fair value
With a perhaps very pessimistic scenario for oil production of 2.1 million barrels per day by 2037, Oxford Economics estimates that the debt available for restructuring would require a capital write-down of 57%. Venezuelan sovereign debt bonds trade at levels that already factor in the risk of a severe restructuring and are near their fair value, according to a report by Sergi Lanau, director of Emerging Markets Strategy at Oxford Economics. The document argues that the rebound in prices over the past few months appears sustainable, despite lingering doubts about the performance of the Venezuelan economy, especially after the double earthquake that occurred on June 24.

In the first six months of the year, deposits totaled Bs 31,253 million (USD 49.5 million), a figure that reflects year-on-year growth of 780.3%, showing depositors' support and confidence in the management and strength of the institution.
The question is straightforward: "If you could bring back just one product or feature, which would you choose?"*, along with an image where a card with the Mastercard logo is clearly blurred.
🔍 What does this clue tell us?
The visual format: The blurred design points directly to a physical or virtual card linked to the traditional payments network—an eagerly awaited feature in the region.
The context : Venezuela at the beginning of the message is no coincidence; it’s a direct nod to Venezuelan users who have been requesting direct payment gateways with cryptocurrencies for a long time.
Impact on the ecosystem:
The return or official enablement of a crypto payment tool would greatly improve everyday life for both merchants and the average crypto user in the country, reducing the friction between digital money and day-to-day spending.
Do you think this announcement will confirm the card’s arrival, or is it another feature of the ecosystem?

🚨 | As revealed by Axios, Admiral Brad Cooper, the top commander of the U.S. Armed Forces in the Middle East, recommended stopping the bombing campaign around the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that it has reached the limit of its military effectiveness.
According to economist Alejandro Grisanti, the trading volume in the P2P market using the stablecoin Tether or USDT on the Binance exchange shows strong growth in Venezuela, thus accounting for up to 88% of the monthly foreign-exchange sales carried out by the Central Bank of Venezuela.
According to Grisanti, the volume traded with USDT has ceased to be marginal, coming to compete directly with the BCV and with the revenues of the nation’s main export industry.
Despite this scenario of the exchange taking center stage, the economist noted that the formal foreign-exchange market is experiencing important changes and improvements, driven by a greater supply of foreign currency from the BCV, a progressive easing in the foreign-exchange desks of commercial banks, and less market segmentation.
The founder of SkyBridge Capital, Anthony Scaramucci, has warned that if the CLARITY Act does not reach the full Senate floor of the United States, a brutal death will occur and cryptocurrency companies will begin building abroad.
Scaramucci believes that if the bill reaches a vote on the full Senate floor, it will be approved, largely because younger legislators prefer to avoid a confrontation with the crypto industry and its political action committees ahead of the elections.
The main consequence he points to is the flight of digital asset firms. After investing months of resources in the search for regulatory certainty in the US, the lack of approval would push companies to build their projects and offices in foreign jurisdictions with clearer rules.
