Bitcoin may be entering a new bull market, according to Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer.

He says $BTC held the $60,000 support zone for almost a year, roughly matching the length of a typical Bitcoin winter.

With Bitcoin now breaking higher, Timmer says a new four-year cycle could be underway. He also pointed to the BTC/gold Z-score turning positive after spending an extended period below zero.

Timmer's longer-term model also puts a potential path toward $300,000 by 2029, based on a slower projected growth rate of around 60 to 65% annually.

That figure comes from his power-law framework and is a model-based scenario, not a guaranteed price target.

JENSEN HUANG: "AI NEEDS TO ACCELERATE TO BE SAFE"

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says Al labs should put more compute into evaluation and alignment, not just making models more capable.

His argument is simple but important:

- More compute → stronger Al
- More compute for evaluation → better understanding of Al behavior
- Better evaluation + alignment → stronger
safety systems

The bigger shift could be that Al safety becomes a core part of scaling, rather than something added after a model is built.

As Al capabilities accelerate, the race may no longer be just about who builds the most powerful models.

It could also be about who can test, monitor and control them at scale.

More Al capability. More Al evaluation.
More Al safety.

SOMEONE JUST WENT ALL IN

A trader has opened roughly $117.8 million in long positions, with $98.3M on BTC and another $19.4M on ZEC.

That's a serious amount of leverage betting on further upside.

The BTC position makes up the vast majority of the trade, while the ZEC position adds another high-beta bet to the portfolio. If prices move against these positions, the liquidation levels could become important for the market to watch.

For now, this is simply one trader taking a very aggressive bullish position, it doesn't guarantee where BTC or ZEC go next.

$117.8M in longs, that's really massive

BREAKING: Bitcoin Spot ETFs just recorded a massive $2.39B in weekly inflows.

That's the strongest weekly inflow of 2026, surpassing the previous $1.92B record from August.

The signal is clear:

-> Capital is flowing back into $BTC
-> Institutional demand is accelerating
-> ETF flows are becoming a major market force

When traditional capital starts absorbing Bitcoin at this scale, the market deserves attention.

Institutional demand is heating up.

Why Brazil, Not the US, Tops the 2026 Crypto Adoption Index 🇧🇷

The United States ranks first in the world for $BTC crypto service flows and on-chain balances. Yet in Chainalysis' 2026 Global Crypto Adoption Index, the top spot went to Brazil, a $252.5 billion crypto economy that wasn't number one in a single category.

The answer is in how adoption is now measured

This year, Chainalysis switched to a new methodology that ranks 117 countries across four factors: service flows, domestic peer-to-peer activity, cross-border flows and on-chain balances. The overall score is a geometric mean, so a strong result in one area can't hide a weak one elsewhere.

That's exactly where the two leaders differ:

- Brazil placed in the global top four across all four factors: 2nd in cross-border flows, 3rd in service flows, 3rd in domestic peer-to-peer and 4th in balances.

- The US leads in service flows and balances, but ranks 20th in domestic peer-to-peer activity and 11th in cross-border flows.

In other words, the index now rewards crypto that is used broadly across an economy, not just held or traded in large volumes.

There is another detail worth noticing. Brazil's own crypto economy actually shrank by 1.6% over the 12 months to June 2026, in line with the global trend. What changed was the depth of its usage: the number of Brazilian wallets holding at least $10,000 in stablecoins grew 347% since July 2024, far ahead of Mexico, Argentina and Chile.

That points to a market that is maturing, where stablecoins are becoming part of how people save, pay and move money.

Which matters more for real adoption in your view: the size of a crypto market, or how evenly it is used?...

Stablecoin supply on #Solana hits a new all-time high of $17.3B

Despite growing bank partnerships and wider transactional use, Brandt remains focused on $XRP 's supply structure. His main concern is simple: investors still need clearer answers about how XRP's supply could change over time.

For Brandt, that uncertainty makes it difficult to decide when XRP is genuinely undervalued or overpriced. And that leads directly to his bigger argument.

Being useful for payments doesn't automatically make an asset valuable as an investment. He compares XRP with the US dollar: dollars are used constantly for transactions, but transactional demand alone doesn't make people buy them expecting major appreciation.

Brandt says Bitcoin is different because its main investment case is built around being a store of value rather than primarily a transactional asset. That clearer role, in his view, makes the valuation story easier to understand.

Still, he doesn't believe $BTC is free from long-term risks either, pointing to quantum computing as one possible threat to Bitcoin's underlying cryptographic architecture.

So does XRP's growing real-world utility eventually translate into stronger investment value, or are utility and valuation two completely different stories? Share your view below!

GRAYSCALE'S ZCASH ETF JUST HIT $1 BILLION IN AUM

Grayscale's Zcash ETF, ZCSH, has now crossed the $1 billion AUM mark just one month after launching on NYSE Arca.

The milestone comes as ZEC has exploded higher, pushing the value of the fund's existing holdings up sharply alongside fresh inflows.

Grayscale says Zcash is among the assets "defining the next era of digital finance," highlighting the growing institutional interest around privacy focused assets.

But there's an important detail, the $1B AUM figure isn't the same as $1B of new investor money. The fund had existing ZEC holdings when it converted to an ETF, while ZEC's price surge has also significantly increased its asset value.

$1B AUM in a month. Zcash is officially getting serious institutional attention.

Can Strategy turn preferred shares into a daily income product? The new proposal could change how investors get paid!

Strategy is proposing daily dividends across STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD, but the important part is this: the total return wouldn't increase.

Instead, dividends would accrue every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, with payments sent on the next business day. STRC currently pays a 12% annual dividend on its $100 stated value, or roughly $12 per year.

Here is what changes under the proposal:

- Daily Income: That same yearly dividend would simply be split into much smaller payments throughout the year.

- STRC vs MSTR: STRC is built around income and a target price near $100, while MSTR behaves much more like a leveraged Bitcoin bet.

- Risk Still Matters: When Bitcoin fell below $60,000 in June, STRC dropped to $75, showing that preferred shares can still feel the same market pressure.

And this is where $BTC still matters!
Daily dividends may make STRC more attractive for income-focused investors, but they don't remove Bitcoin-linked risk or Strategy's need to keep enough cash flowing to make those payments.

Whales are stacking $BTC while everyone watches the price

Since July 15, wallets holding 100-1,000 BTC have added almost 114,000 BTC. That pushed their total holdings to around 5.24M BTC.

And here's the interesting part: Santiment says this group has historically accumulated before or during strong Bitcoin rallies.

Meanwhile, CryptoQuant sees Bitcoin demand recovering from recent lows, with futures demand still climbing.

So... are whales positioning before the next move or just playing the long game?
Either way, 114K BTC is not a small bet.
