Michael Saylor plans to burn all of his Bitcoin (BTC), which means he is burning your lifeboat to safety from inflation, and that helps the few, not many. Saylor’s MicroStrategy plans to increase the number of BTC it holds. The accumulation plan again raises questions about Bitcoin’s scarcity, and the questions that arise when few entities acquire such a large percentage of the supply.  Saylor has said himself that he wants to hold one percent of the…

Solana, Ethereum’s most significant rival, leads among cryptos with the highest dApp (decentralized application) revenue. In June, Solana clocked over $146 million in revenue from decentralized applications in its ecosystem. Solana has consistently led in dApp revenue and metrics, outpacing Ethereum and BNB.  Solana vs. Ethereum comparison  The two competing smart contract platforms have rivaled each other’s performance in metrics like DEX volume, revenue collected from dApps, TVL and DeFi dominance since mid 2024.  Data from TheBlock shows that Solana (SOL) has maintained its dominance in DEX volume, with the largest share of Solana-based DEXes in the ecosystem, since October…

Bitcoin treasury companies — entities that accumulate the digital asset (usually through borrowed assets) — offer clients indirect exposure through their stock. Some believe that these companies bring Bitcoin to Wall Street. Others think that these treasury companies are doing the opposite: turning bitcoiners into so-called “fiat bros.” From self-custody of private keys to indirect Bitcoin ‘exposure’ In 2021, billionaire and X owner Elon Musk famously replied “Your app sucks” to a crypto wallet that didn’t support user access to their private keys. Now, when Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin treasury companies get so much attention, it may seem that self-custody…

Crypto venture funding rebounded modestly this week, with $466.6 million raised across 15 deals between June 29 and July 5—primarily driven by outsized bets on Bitcoin infrastructure. The majority of capital flowed into mining and ecosystem development, led by BitMine’s massive $250 million private placement backed by Mozaryk, Founders Fund, and Pantera. Other notable rounds include TWL Miner’s $95 million Series B and The Open Platform’s $28.5 million raise at a $1 billion valuation. While smaller deals spanned gaming, AI, and DePIN projects, investor appetite remains focused on Bitcoin-native scalability, mining, and infrastructure plays, even as other sectors attract strategic…

The Stellar Lumens token is at risk of further downside as its funding rate continues to decline.  Despite strong on-chain growth—rising transactions, record stablecoin supply, and expanding real-world asset tokenization—Stellar Lumens (XLM) plunged to a critical support level amid a sustained negative funding rate, suggesting growing bearish pressure. If this support breaks, XLM could fall another 36%, underscoring the widening disconnect between network fundamentals and market sentiment. This week, Stellar dropped to the key support at $0.2175. That’s down by 35% from its highest point in May. It has also dropped by 62% from its 2024 high.  XLM could be…

Bitcoin price was stuck in a tight range on Saturday, July 5, as the recent recovery faded during the US Independence Day Weekend. Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $108,000, lower than this week’s high of $110,000, and 10% above the lowest point this month.  Spot Bitcoin ETFs continued their strong performance this week, with their cumulative inflows soaring by $769 million. That’s down from $2.2 billion the previous week. The weekly decline is partially due to the fact that this week had four U.S. trading days, in observance of Independence Day — a federal holiday in the United States.  These…
