$SOL Crosses 1 Billion Weekly On-Chain Transactions

Solana has reached a major milestone, processing over 1 billion non-vote transactions in a single week for the first time. This surge reflects real user activity across DeFi, payments, gaming, token transfers, Al applications, and other on-chain use cases not just validator consensus messages. Network activity has more than doubled since the start of 2026, highlighting growing adoption and increasing demand for Solana's high-speed, low-cost infrastructure.

As on-chain usage continues to climb, all eyes are on whether this momentum will translate into stronger ecosystem growth and renewed interest in SOL.

CPI, PPI and the CLARITY Act: Crypto Faces a Critical Week

The crypto market is heading into one of its busiest weeks of the month.

With $BTC trading near $63,000 and the total market cap already slipping, a few major U.S. events could quickly decide whether investors buy the dip or reduce risk.

First comes the June CPI report on July 14, with annual inflation expected to remain near 4.2%.

Then, July 15 brings the PPI report and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's testimony before Congress. A hawkish message could strengthen the dollar and pressure crypto, while softer comments may bring rate-cut hopes back into focus.

Jobless claims follow on July 16, before attention shifts toward the CLARITY Act hearing on July 17. Lawmakers are expected to discuss an updated market structure bill, but several important provisions remain unresolved. With geopolitical tension still weighing on risk assets, four days of inflation data, Fed commentary, employment numbers, and crypto regulation could make this one of the most volatile weeks of July.

Who Really Owns Bitcoin? The Numbers Might Surprise You

As of June 2026, individuals remain the largest holders of $BTC, controlling 66.1% of the entire 21 million supply.

The rest is spread across:

Businesses: 7.8%
Funds & ETFs: 7.2%
Estimated Lost Forever: 7.7%

Despite growing institutional adoption, Bitcoin is still overwhelmingly in the hands of everyday holders. Meanwhile, every coin believed to be permanently lost makes the remaining supply even scarcer.

Scarcity isn't just part of Bitcoin's design, it's becoming more evident with every passing cycle!

Strategy sold $466.7 million worth of MSTR shares last week without selling any of its $BTC.

Its Bitcoin holdings remain at 843,775 BTC, while its US dollar reserve increased by $450 million to $3 billion.

Growing its cash reserve while keeping its Bitcoin untouched gives Strategy more financial flexibility.

With one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holdings in the world, the company continues to strengthen its balance sheet while staying committed to its long-term Bitcoin strategy.

The USA plans to charge for all passes by seizing the Strait of Hormuz. With the plan announced by Trump, they will have started to tax the whole world. Iran's meaningless attacks are entirely for the USA and Israel. Who do you think the leaders of Iran serve?

Other world countries are just watching. Unfortunately, our world is getting worse every day. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies were adding excitement to our lives, but that excitement is about to disappear...

#Ripple $XRP just got full CASP authorization from Luxembourg's CSSF under #MICA.

I believe it follows the preliminary approval they picked up in June. This completes their compliance and lets them offer regulated crypto payments to banks, corporates, and businesses across all 30 EEA countries.

Cassie Craddock, their MD for UK & Europe, said: "Ripple enters the post-transitional MICA era fully compliant and ready to scale. Institutions want to work with regulated partners, and we're licensed to meet that demand."

LATEST: Lex Fridman Says Satoshi Nakamoto Deserves a Nobel Prize!

Al researcher and podcast host Lex Fridman said that $BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto should receive a Nobel Prize, citing the profound global impact of Bitcoin's invention.

Fridman's comments add to the long-running debate over Bitcoin's historical significance. Since its launch in 2009, #BTC has evolved from an experimental peer-to-peer payment system into a trillion-dollar asset class, influencing finance, monetary policy, and digital ownership worldwide.

While the Nobel Prize has never been awarded for the creation of a decentralized digital currency, supporters argue that Bitcoin's role in reshaping the global financial landscape places Satoshi among the most influential innovators of the 21st century.

The new week in cryptocurrencies has started with difficulties. The US-Iran war flared up again. There was a decline in the entire market, especially Bitcoin. Despite the declines, $BTC managed to stay above $63,000. When the difficulties disappear, a sharp rise will be inevitable.

WHALE ALERT: $BTC wallet dormant for nearly seven years has transferred 2,931 #BTC, worth approximately $188 million, according to on-chain monitoring data.

The transaction has attracted attention due to the wallet's long period of inactivity. However, the destination does not currently indicate that the funds were sent to a known exchange, meaning the transfer should not be interpreted as a confirmed sell signal.

Large movements from dormant wallets often reflect treasury management, custody changes, or internal wallet restructuring rather than immediate market distribution.

Bitcoin Gains Nearly 10% in July - But Traders See a 2022 Repeat

Bitcoin is up around 9.5% this month, marking its strongest July performance in four years. But traders are staying cautious because $BTC showed a similar recovery in July 2022 before falling 14% in August and dropping again in September.

The concern is that Q3 has historically been Bitcoin's weakest quarter, with average gains of only 6%. Lower summer liquidity and trading volume can make rallies harder to sustain, so this month's strength may look promising without confirming that the bear trend is over.

$SOL Hits a Major Milestone But a $14M Hack Steals the Spotlight

Solana has officially reached its 1,000th network epoch, marking years of growth and continued ecosystem expansion. But the celebration was quickly overshadowed after a long-dormant genesis wallet was reportedly compromised, with around 181,000 SOL (worth roughly $14.2 million) moved, bridged to Ethereum, and swapped into ETH.

Despite the incident, SOL has remained relatively stable near the $77 level, suggesting the market sees the breach as an isolated wallet compromise rather than a flaw in the Solana network itself. Still, the event is another reminder that strong wallet security is just as important as blockchain performance.

Big milestone. Tough reminder. In crypto, network strength and personal security must go hand in hand.

Arthur Hayes Says Bitcoin Is Going to $1M - But Not Before Al Crashes

Arthur Hayes is predicting $BTC could eventually reach $1 million after one final major market reset.

His warning is that Al has pulled huge amounts of capital away from crypto and other risk assets. Hayes believes the Al bubble may be even bigger than the 2008 subprime crisis, and its collapse could drag every market lower.

Only after that sell-off, he says, will Bitcoin find its real bottom and begin the next major cycle. The $1 million target sounds wild, but Hayes sees the coming crash as the event that could eventually push capital back into crypto.

Singapore Just Stopped More Than $4.2M in Crypto Scam Losses

While $BTC and the wider market keep growing, Singapore has shown how exchanges and law enforcement can work together before stolen funds disappear.

Over six weeks, police identified more than 145 people who were close to sending money to scammers. The cases included fake government officials, investment offers, job schemes, and romance scams. Investigators followed suspicious wallet activity and contacted potential victims before the transfers were completed.

The operation used blockchain tools from Chainalysis and TRM Labs to trace wallet movements. Police then worked with major crypto exchanges to connect suspicious addresses with customer accounts and find the people most at risk.

For the crypto industry, the lesson is simple: on-chain data is useful not only after a scam happens. When exchanges, analytics firms, and authorities share information quickly, blockchain transparency can help stop losses before the money is gone.

Trump just opened the door to $BTC in a federal newborn savings program

At a July 6 White House event, President Trump was asked whether Bitcoin could eventually be added to "Trump Accounts" -a new federal savings program for kids. His answer: "It's possible." Quick context on the program itself:

- Trump Accounts (officially "530A")
launched July 4 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
- Every US child born 2025-2028 gets a one-time $1,000 government deposit
- Funds are currently invested in low-cost index funds tracking the S&P 500, locked until age 18
- Over 500,000 children already funded, per Treasury figures

No formal policy or timeline for Bitcoin has been announced not a decision yet. But it lines up with the administration's broader crypto stance: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve executive order (holding 200k+ BTC), the GENIUS Act for stablecoins, and now this.

What do you think about it?

Michael Saylor says Strategy raised $16B this year without triggering taxes by using Bitcoin-backed financing instead of selling $BTC.

According to Saylor, the same structure can generate billions in GAAP income without immediate tax, while enabling tax-efficient capital returns under certain structures.

A reminder that in Bitcoin, the strategy isn't just what you buy, it's how you finance it.
