Strategy’s Michael Saylor doubles down on $STRC buyback commitment

Saylor says $STRC will return to par as Strategy deploys $25M in repurchases with nearly $1B still in reserve

Michael Saylor is not blinking. The executive chairman of Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury company formerly known as MicroStrategy, went on record this week reaffirming that STRC will return to its par value of $100 and that the company stands ready to pour more capital into buybacks if the market tests that resolve.

This is not just talk. Strategy has already put $25 million to work, repurchasing 288,930 shares of STRC at an average price of $86.52 per share. That leaves $975 million sitting in the chamber from a $1 billion authorized buyback program.

#KALSHI New York state sued prediction market platform Kalshi on Friday, alleging that the company is running an “illegal gambling operation.”

In a case filed in a Manhattan state court, the lawsuit claims that Kalshi accepts wagers as a gambling business in disregard for the state’s constitution and laws by not being registered with the New York State Gaming Commission.

“No matter what they call themselves, prediction markets like Kalshi are gambling platforms, plain and simple,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James in a press release announcing the lawsuit. “By ignoring our laws, Kalshi is running an illegal operation and harming New Yorkers in the process.”

$XRP Ripple is getting ready to unlock 1 billion $XRP from escrow tomorrow, August 1, worth about $1.08 billion based on the $XRP price of $1.08 at the time of writing.

The upcoming unlock is part of Ripple’s long-standing escrow schedule, according to which the company typically unlocks 1 billion $XRP on the first day of each month.

With the token’s circulating supply currently at about 62.52 billion $XRP , the new release will increase it by roughly 1.6%, although Ripple is likely to return a large portion of the unlocked tokens to escrow.

$MarsCoin Marscoin's Dramatic Whipsaw: A Case Study in Crypto Volatility

In a striking display of crypto market volatility, Marscoin (MARSCOIN) experienced a dramatic whipsaw on July 30, 2026, surging to an all-time high of approximately $0.0397** before plunging over 70% to hit a low of roughly **$0.01995 within the same day .

This violent price action saw the asset briefly soar +900% from its pre-rally levels before the momentum reversed sharply . The coin is currently trading around $0.031, having recovered some ground with a 24-hour change of approximately +41% .

Understanding the Whipsaw Pattern

A whipsaw describes a situation where an asset's price moves aggressively in one direction only to suddenly reverse and move sharply in the opposite direction . It is also commonly referred to as a bull trap or "sucker rally"—a false market signal where a price surge entices traders to buy, only for the price to resume a downward trend .

What Could Have Caused This?

Several factors typical in crypto markets could have driven this event:

· Low Liquidity: Smaller-cap meme coins often have thin order books, allowing large orders to cause extreme price swings .
· FOMO and Speculation: A sudden spike can trigger fear of missing out, drawing in retail buyers while early holders sell into the rally .
· Potential Market Manipulation: Whipsaw patterns can be induced by large holders ("whales") creating artificial volatility to shake out weaker hands before accumulating at lower prices .

$ADA Cardano ($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.

$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. 🚀🦎

$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.
