From Wall Street to My Wallet: My First Experience with bStocks on Binance
I had been wanting to invest in companies like NVIDIA or Tesla for a while, but the hours of the traditional market and the difficulties of accessing it always made it complicated for me. Everything changed when Binance launched bStocks and I decided to give them a shot. What exactly are bStocks? They are tokenized assets issued by BTech Holdings Limited (a Binance affiliate) and backed 1:1 by real U.S. stocks that are held in regulated custody. You don't buy the stock directly, but you track its price in real time, with quick trades and without having to wait for Wall Street to open or close.
Analysts detect a strong recovery in Bitcoin demand in 2026
According to CryptoQuant data, total Bitcoin demand increased significantly over the last week, moving from -500,000 BTC to -75,000 BTC. This advance was driven mainly by activity in the futures market, while demand in the spot market remains limited.
Meanwhile, Glassnode analysts believe the market may be forming a floor, although it is still too early to confirm the end of the downtrend.
To validate a change in trend, they point out that it will be necessary to see greater growth in spot market demand and the return of institutional investors.
It’s not investment funds, nor Ethereum, nor Base, and not even Michael Saylor. At the moment, Solana is the network that’s making the difference.
Only during the second quarter of 2026, Solana generated $257 million in revenue, setting a new record.
What’s behind these figures? Controls around 96% of the tokenized equities market. Processes one of the largest transaction volumes among the main blockchains. Stays among the networks with the highest fee revenue in the sector.
Binance dominates the stock futures market with an 80% share
During June, Binance recorded $53.8 billion in trading volume for stock futures and reached an 80% share of the market, according to CryptoQuant data. This represents a nearly sixfold advantage over its closest competitor.
A large part of this growth was driven by SpaceX perpetual futures, which generated approximately $36.0 billion in trading volume.
In addition, the platform already surpasses $1.0 billion in assets under management (AUM) within its stock offering. Users have access to more than 7,000 stocks and ETFs, which can also be used as collateral to trade cryptocurrencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is Bitcoin really in danger from quantum computers?
Surely you have heard that, when sufficiently powerful quantum computers exist, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could be hacked with ease. However, the situation is not that simple. At present, Bitcoin has not yet implemented a complete update against quantum attacks. Instead, many other blockchain networks update their technology frequently, and some, like Ethereum, are already working on solutions prepared for the era of quantum computing.
Does the "Saylor signal" point to an upside again?
In 2022, Strategy sold Bitcoin for the first time in order to reduce its tax burden. Shortly afterward, BTC hit its price low and began a new bull cycle.
Now, the company has started selling Bitcoin again, this time to fund payments related to STRC.
BonkDAO Suffers an Attack and Loses Nearly $20 Million
An attacker invested around $4.4 million to buy BONK tokens, obtaining the voting power needed to approve a proposal under their control. After it was approved, they managed to withdraw approximately $20 million from the DAO’s treasury.
After the incident, the price of BONK fell by more than 9%. The BonkDAO team is working with cryptocurrency exchanges and authorities to track the stolen funds and identify the individual responsible for the attack.
What Is Order Flow and Why Is It Important in Trading?
Most traders analyze charts, indicators, or candlestick patterns. Order Flow takes a different approach: it studies what happens behind every price movement. Order Flow consists of analyzing the buy and sell orders that are executed in real time. Instead of only watching where price is moving, it helps explain how and why it is moving. Each change in price is the result of interaction between buyers and sellers. By studying this order flow, it’s possible to identify which side of the market has control, where liquidity is concentrated, and whether a move is supported by real buying or selling pressure.
JPMorgan Cuts Its Forecast for the Gold Price in 2026
JPMorgan has lowered its outlook for the gold price at the end of 2026, reducing it from $6,000 to $4,500 per ounce. The firm attributes this change to weaker-than-expected demand and the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve may raise interest rates earlier than anticipated.
Despite this adjustment, JPMorgan maintains a positive long-term view. The bank expects gold to regain value in 2027, driven by continued demand from central banks.
Ethereum prepares for its biggest upgrade since The Merge
Vitalik Buterin unveiled a new roadmap called Lean Ethereum, which represents the most important transformation of the network since The Merge.
Over the next three or four years, developers plan to overhaul much of Ethereum’s core infrastructure. Among the improvements are a new consensus system, protection against future quantum threats, STARK recursive proofs, greater privacy, and improved capacity to process more transactions.
According to Buterin, this will be the third major stage in Ethereum’s evolution, after The Merge.
Psychology moves the market more than many people imagine.
Most people don’t lose money because they chose a bad cryptocurrency. They lose it by making impulsive decisions. When the market rises: FOMO appears. They buy late, when the price has already risen a lot. They think, "this time will be different". When the market drops: Fear enters. They sell at a loss to "save what’s left". Days or weeks later, the price starts to recover. Investors with better results aren’t the ones who guess the next move, but those who control their emotions.
DWF Labs: The fundamentals of the crypto market remain solid despite ETF capital outflows
DWF Labs reported that the first half of 2026 was the first time in history that spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs closed with net capital outflows.
Even so, the company believes the crypto sector’s base is stronger than ever. Its analysts explain that, for now, many investors have focused their interest on artificial intelligence, but they believe that capital will return to the crypto market over time.
There are rumors circulating in X that on Wednesday Strategy would have sold about 491 BTC. For now, there is no official confirmation, so these are just speculations.
If the information is finally confirmed, uncertainty may increase and a new wave of FUD around Bitcoin could appear.
Binance has added a monitoring tag to AEUR, PYR, SCRT and VANRY.
This means these projects will be subject to stricter review. If they do not improve their development or stop meeting Binance’s requirements, they could be removed from the platform in the future.
Investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has opened short positions against Nvidia and Applied Materials.
He has also bet bearish on the semiconductor ETF SOXX, which includes companies like Micron.
Burry believes the AI chip sector is overpriced. According to him, many of these stocks are rising more due to FOMO than due to the companies’ actual results.

Donald Trump said he doesn’t know how much money he earns with cryptocurrencies because his children are the ones in charge of that business.
He also said the United States must remain the leader in cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. According to Trump, if the country doesn’t stay ahead, China will take that spot.
