Following the recent transfer of 30,000 bitcoin by a long-dormant whale from 2011, the same entity has now shuffled an additional 50,009 BTC across blocks 903974 and 903985. On July 4, 2025, Bitcoin.com News detailed how this old-school whale had awakened to move bitcoin originally acquired in April and May 2011. At the time, the whale transferred 30,000 BTC, valued at more than $3 billion. Now, the same entity has relocated another trove—50,000 BTC—also sourced from May 4, 2011.

A shocking event rocked the global crypto community today when a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet suddenly moved over 80,000 BTC — worth more than $8.7 billion at current prices. . Believed to be one of the earliest Bitcoin wallets, this address had shown no activity since 2010. Until today. In a single transaction, the whale transferred its entire balance to a set of newly created wallets, sending ripples through the entire market. . No one knows who controls the wallet. But what stunned the community was the holding period — more than a decade of complete silence, now broken as Bitcoin trades near $110,000. Some speculate it could belong to an early miner, or even be linked to the original creators — perhaps a ghost from the Satoshi era. . The move immediately sparked concerns about potential selling pressure. While BTC showed only mild fluctuations in the hours that followed, analysts are watching closely to see if this was simply a storage reshuffle or the beginning of large-scale liquidation. . This isn’t the first time ancient wallets have reawakened, but the sheer size and duration of dormancy make this event highly significant in the current market cycle. . Is this a warning signal, or merely a technical reorganization? One thing is clear: when a whale stirs, the entire ocean pays attention.

⚫️Institutions now hold approximately 25% of all circulating BTC (4.8m out of 20m) ⚫️Bitcoin volatility has dropped to a two-year low, with analysts projecting modest 10-20% annual gains instead of sharp rallies ⚫️If whales continue offloading and institutional inflows slow, the market could face a sharp correction

Half a year has passed since the publishing of my initial report on the company then-named MicroStrategy, now simply Strategy. Other than a name change, the company has since then broadened the arsenal of its financial products, accumulated more bitcoin, and fueled a wide array of companies copying Michael Saylor’s playbook. There seem to be bitcoin treasury companies everywhere. Due for an update, we will now investigate whether or not these bitcoin treasury companies’ operations are in line with the predictions made in the initial report, and yet again attempt to conclude where all this is eventually going. A Cause for Alarm In December last year, the company seemed near invincible: With its bitcoin yield KPI accumulating at a mind-boggling annual rate of above 60%, optimism reigned. It was no wonder then that most of the arguments carefully laid out in the report released at that time were either ridiculed, ignored, or met with snarling challenges to sell the shares short. The share price, denominated either in dollar or bitcoin, is at time of writing flat compared to those days and so far offers little in terms of vindication. Tragically few understood or even reached the most important conclusion of my December report, which concerns the source of the bitcoin yield. We will therefore iterate what’s wrong with the company’s metric, and why this should be a cause of alarm for any serious investor. The bitcoin yield — the increase in bitcoin per share — reaching old shareholders comes from the pockets of new shareholders. The new shareholders, many of them buying shares in the hope of getting a high bitcoin yield themselves, provide the bitcoin yield either directly by buying Strategy common shares created in the company’s world-record sized ATM (“at the market”) offerings or indirectly by buying the shares borrowed (and then sold) by delta neutral hedge funds that simultaneously hold the company’s convertible bonds. This is the Ponzi part of company operations — publicly boasting a bitcoin yield far higher than any conventional yield, while obfuscating the fact that the yield stems, not from the sale of company goods or services, but from the new investors themselves. They are the yield, and the harvesting of their hard-earned money will continue as long as they willingly provide it. The size of the harvest is in proportion to the size of the confusion, here measured as the premium of common shares over company net assets. This premium is nurtured by complicated but inviting company narratives, promises, and financial products. Because the word “Ponzi” has been thrown Bitcoiners’ way for over a decade, they have become accustomed — and rightly so — to simply disregard such critiques altogether. But just because a company within the Bitcoin sector intentionally or inadvertently has constructed a Ponzi scheme, that does not obviously mean that bitcoin itself is a Ponzi. The two assets are separate. During metallic monetary standards of the past, Ponzi schemes existed, but that does not mean the precious metals themselves ever were, or are, such schemes. When I make this claim of Strategy in its current form, I mean it from the point of definition, not from tiresome hyperbole. The Accumulation Continues Before drawing any further conclusions, it is first time to pick up where we left off in the initial report, and map relevant company decisions made over the last six months. Strategy announced on December 9 that approximately 21,550 bitcoin had been acquired for about $2.1 billion (average price: approximately $98,783 per bitcoin). This purchase was conducted with proceeds from the ATM outlined in the famous 21/21 Plan initiated earlier the same year. Just a few days later, over 15,000 more bitcoin were purchased, also through the ATM offering, and a few days after that announcement, about 5,000 more were purchased.

I have some massive bags of mana, but i sold most of them at the current price levels. looking forward to getting into something else, like link! very much undervalued as it’s a real bridge between crypto and traditional finance which puts chainlink in a great positioning. massive growth incoming.

Open to discussionotherwise love you all! just to clarify, although this uptrend is not a true channel, if it were **to** go back down to **the bottom** of the channel equivalent right now, doge would be in the range of 11 cents on that bounce. ⁠🙂 srsly tho doge will definitely find support around that area on its rip.

The City of Detroit has filed a landmark lawsuit against RealToken, a blockchain-based real estate investment platform, and its founders, Remy and Jean-Marc Jacobson, for allegedly neglecting over 400 residential properties and failing to meet basic health and safety standards. This legal action, described by city officials as the largest nuisance abatement case in Detroit’s history, targets RealToken and 165 affiliated corporate entities for persistent code violations and endangering the health and safety of tenants RealToken has faced allegations from city officials regarding neglected properties, which include unsafe conditions such as structural decay, fire hazards, and pest infestations. Its complex ownership structure, which allows global investors to buy fractional ownership in Detroit homes using cryptocurrency, resulting in a web of 165 LLCs, complicates accountability. Residents have reported serious maintenance issues, including leaking roofs and plumbing problems, and many are uncertain about whom to contact for repairs or rent payments. On these grounds, Detroit is seeking Payment of $500,000 in outstanding blight tickets, Court oversight to ensure all properties meet compliance standards, & Personal liability for the Jacobson brothers regarding tenant conditions. RealToken claims it has been a victim of unscrupulous property managers and has since taken direct control of property management. The company states that it has begun repairs and is addressing the violations, but notes that the process will take time. RealToken also asserts it has not yet been formally served with the lawsuit and will respond in court. This case highlights growing concerns about the impact of crypto-based property investment on urban communities. While blockchain technology enables new forms of investment, Detroit officials stress that innovation cannot be used to evade basic responsibilities as landlords. With 60% of Detroiters renting their homes, the city is sending a clear message: property owners must ensure safe, dignified housing, regardless of their business model. Notably, Dubai is redefining property investment in the Middle East with the launch of Prypco Mint, the region’s first tokenized real estate platform.

Tuần này, Ripple (XRP) đã nộp đơn xin giấy phép ngân hàng quốc gia tại Mỹ — một bước đi quan trọng đưa công ty tiến gần hơn đến hệ thống tài chính truyền thống được quản lý. Tuy nhiên, phản ứng từ thị trường lại khá mờ nhạt và điều đó hoàn toàn có lý do. Giá XRP chỉ tăng khoảng 3% sau khi tin tức được công bố. Mức tăng khiêm tốn này phản ánh thực tế rằng giấy phép ngân hàng (nếu được chấp thuận) vẫn chưa cải thiện trực tiếp tính ứng dụng hay vị thế pháp lý của XRP.Ripple trở thành tổ chức lưu ký hợp pháp tại Mỹ không đồng nghĩa với tăng trưởng cho XRP Đơn xin cấp phép được gửi tới Văn phòng Kiểm soát Tiền tệ (OCC), cơ quan liên bang giám sát các tổ chức tín thác ngân hàng tại Mỹ. Ripple đặt mục tiêu hoạt động như một thực thể ngân hàng được quản lý, cho phép họ lưu ký (custody) tài sản kỹ thuật số và quản lý quỹ dự trữ stablecoin cho sản phẩm mới có tên RLUSD. Động thái này tương tự như chiến lược của một số công ty crypto khác, chẳng hạn như Circle và Fidelity. Tuy nhiên, chiến lược của Ripple chỉ có tác động hạn chế đến giá hoặc nhu cầu đối với XRP trong ngắn hạn. Điều quan trọng là giấy phép từ OCC sẽ không làm thay đổi tình trạng pháp lý hiện tại của XRP tại Mỹ. Trước đó, Ripple đã rút đơn kháng cáo chéo trong vụ kiện với Ủy ban Chứng khoán và Giao dịch Mỹ (SEC). Điều này đồng nghĩa với việc phán quyết của Tòa án liên bang năm 2023 vẫn giữ nguyên hiệu lực. Tóm lại, phán quyết cho rằng các giao dịch XRP với nhà đầu tư nhỏ lẻ không bị xem là chứng khoán, nhưng các đợt bán XRP cho tổ chức do Ripple thực hiện đã vi phạm luật chứng khoán. Lệnh cấm này vẫn còn hiệu lực và Ripple không được phép bán XRP cho các tổ chức tại Mỹ nếu không có đăng ký hoặc miễn trừ hợp lệ từ SEC. Do đó, ngay cả khi Ripple trở thành một ngân hàng hợp pháp, họ cũng không thể tận dụng giấy phép đó để khởi động lại việc bán XRP cho tổ chức trong nước. Đồng thời, điều này không khiến XRP trở thành một tài sản được chấp thuận hoặc điều chỉnh theo luật chứng khoán liên bang. Kịch bản tăng giá có điều kiện Giấy phép ngân hàng có thể mở ra khả năng tích hợp tốt hơn giữa các dịch vụ của Ripple — đặc biệt là stablecoin RLUSD — với hạ tầng rộng lớn hơn của công ty. Nếu Ripple sử dụng năng lực ngân hàng để phục vụ các khách hàng được quản lý, XRP có thể hưởng lợi gián tiếp với vai trò là cầu nối thanh khoản. Tuy nhiên, điều này phụ thuộc vào luồng kinh doanh mới và việc mở rộng các hành lang thanh toán, chứ không phải thay đổi pháp lý. Trong tương lai, Ripple có thể tận dụng tư cách ngân hàng để xây dựng lòng tin với các tổ chức tại Mỹ. Điều này có thể khơi lại sự quan tâm đến việc sử dụng XRP trong hệ thống tài sản được token hóa hoặc các nền tảng thanh toán xuyên biên giới. Tuy nhiên, đây là câu chuyện dài hạn, không phải chất xúc tác ngay lập tức. Ở thời điểm hiện tại, diễn biến giá của XRP phản ánh thực tế đó. Giới trader đang định giá XRP dựa trên câu chuyện tuân thủ pháp lý của doanh nghiệp, chứ không phải sự nâng cấp trong công dụng của token. Cho đến khi XRP trở thành trung tâm trong các hoạt động có sự hỗ trợ của ngân hàng Ripple, thị trường sẽ tiếp tục xem động thái này là trung lập đối với giá trị của token. Giấy phép ngân hàng của Ripple nếu được chấp thuận có thể tái định hình hồ sơ pháp lý của công ty. Tuy nhiên, vị thế của XRP vẫn không thay đổi — phần nào được chấp thuận cho nhà đầu tư nhỏ lẻ, bị hạn chế với tổ chức và vẫn đang chờ đột phá thực sự trong ứng dụng thực tế.

💥Bitcoin Suisse’s legal chief says EU & Swiss stablecoin regs are straight-up messy. 🧐MiCA rules? Detailed, but super strict for non-EU stablecoin issuers. 🇨🇭Switzerland? Even worse — issuers gotta KYC every single holder. Wild. 📢Peter Märkl says both need serious fixes to actually support stablecoin growth. 🌍Meanwhile, Bitcoin Suisse is eyeing the Middle East, UK, and US for global expansion plays. 🚀They’re pushing hard for that MiCA license via their Liechtenstein base.

I leave you with this. 💎👐 you can do a lot of speculation, but remember these are numbers and pepecoin was built on an idea and to cover $eth when at 200bn. keep that in mind. just a bit of info: based on coinmarketcap, eth is already there (on some days) so lets see what happens when it drops again to the more reasonable price; approximately 110b maybe even less . where will pep et our investment be? only god knows.

Bitcoin BTC +0.65% mining firm Riot Platforms (ticker RIOT) mined 450 bitcoin, valued at around $49.26 million at current prices, in June. That's a 76% year-over-year increase compared to the 255 BTC Riot mined in June 2024, but down 12% from the 514 BTC mined a month earlier, according to a company release on Thursday. The firm, which now holds 19,273 BTC, sold $41.7 million worth of bitcoins in June. This also represents the third straight month Riot mined bitcoin since restarting the activity in April of this year, after the firm took a hiatus beginning in January. That month the firm began diverting some of its power capacity in its Corsicana, Texas facility toward AI and high-performance computing uses, The Block previously reported, in a bid to diversify its revenue streams amid increasing mining competition. Riot also recorded earning some mining credits from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) during the start of the Four Coincident Peak (4CP) program, an energy demand program designed to help balance the load in Texas during peak summer months. "Riot mined 450 bitcoin in June, which also represented the start of ERCOT’s Four Coincident Peak program," Riot CEO Jason Les said in a statement. "Riot’s power strategy, which includes economic curtailment and voluntary participation in the 4CP and other demand response programs, significantly contribute to grid stability while enhancing Riot’s competitive positioning The Block reached out to Riot for additional comment. Riot is one of the largest cryptocurrency miners behind Core Scientific and Marathon Digital Holdings, according to data from CompaniesMarketCap. RIOT shares traded at $12.20 on Nasdaq as of writing, with the firm's total market cap sitting at $4.36 billion. Bitcoin traded at around $109,400 as of publication, recording $40.5 billion in trading volume in the past 24 hours, The Block's BTC Price Page shows.

Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) reported the production of 450 Bitcoin in June 2025, a 12% decrease from May but a 76% increase year-over-year. The company also saw a surge in power credits, totalling $5.6 million, more than double from the previous month Riot sold 397 Bitcoin for $41.7 million, representing a 21% decrease in volume and a 19% decline in proceeds from May, but at a higher average price per coin ($105,071). The company ended the month holding 19,273 Bitcoin, more than double the amount held in June 2024. The average operating hash rate decreased 5% month-over-month to 29.8 EH/s, but remains 162% higher than a year ago. Fleet efficiency held steady at 21.2 J/TH, an 18% improvement over the prior year. “Riot mined 450 bitcoin in June, which also represented the start of ERCOT’s Four Coincident Peak (“4CP”) program,” stated the CEO of Riot, Jason Les. “Riot’s power strategy, which includes economic curtailment and voluntary participation in the 4CP and other demand response programs, significantly contributes to grid stability while enhancing Riot’s competitive positioning.” June’s performance follows a similar April, in which Riot produced 463 Bitcoin, sold 475 Bitcoin for $38.8 million at an average price of $81,731, and completed a major acquisition. The company acquired all tangible assets of Rhodium at its Rockdale Facility, including 125 MW of power capacity. “April was a significant month for Riot as we closed on the acquisition of all of the tangible assets of Rhodium at our Rockdale Facility, including 125 MW of power capacity, and mutually ended all outstanding litigation,” said Les. “This transaction ends the hosting agreement with our last hosting client and marks the complete exit of Riot from the bitcoin mining hosting business.”
