As if to make things interesting, Bridgewater proceeded to gift a sizable slice of its pie—nearly 20%—to the sovereign wealth fund of Brunei in a deal so multibillion-dollar that even the calculators needed a break. Imagine that: from a humble apartment to global riches, with a pit stop in Brunei. Classic travel itinerary for financial institutions, really.

Behold, the 4-hour chart for $SOL is practically begging for an Oscar nomination. The price has elegantly pirouetted onto the strong horizontal support at $168, while giving a cheeky wink to the 0.5 Fibonacci level. Truly, it’s as if the price were rehearsing its lines backstage before making a grand entrance. Look closer, dear, and you’ll see how impeccably the Fibonacci extension levels have been followed. Bravo! 👏

In a feat worthy of the gods—or at least Wall Street—Bitcoin crowned July with a regal close at $115,800, etching its name into the annals of history.

Over $751 million in traders’ bravely borrowed money – because who doesn’t enjoy gambling with Uncle Crypto’s credit card? – was forcibly sent back to where all the best magic tricks happen: the great beyond of liquidations. The lion’s share of this magic trick came from those overly bullish traders, who thought they could ride the wave and ended up with their portfolios looking like a pancake after a bad flip, with $706 million of their hopes evaporating like dew at dawn, thanks to CoinGlass’s fuzzy data and a pinch of market chaos.

Robinhood, the app where you can lose money faster than you can say “I should have stuck with savings,” reported some pretty impressive second-quarter results, especially in the crypto department. Trading volumes hit a six-month high in July, thanks to everyone suddenly getting interested in Ethereum, Solana, and DeFi tokens again after Circle’s new listings. Bernstein thinks this trend is going to keep rolling like a snowball down a hill, right into the second half of 2025. 🏔️💨

Ripple’s sitting on 40.67 billion XRP (41% of the total supply, NBD) worth a cool $122 billion. That’s more than MicroStrategy’s $72.6 billion Bitcoin stash. If they lock it up and throw away the key, XRP’s supply could get tighter than skinny jeans after Thanksgiving. 🦃💎

In a move so bold it could make a gambler blush, The Ether Machine splurged $56.9 million for roughly 15,000 ETH—at an ostentatious $3,809 each. Because who needs cheap when you can have dreams, right? This buying spree coincides with Ethereum’s decade-long victory lap, reminding everyone that Bitcoin can take a back seat, maybe grab a coffee.

. It’s a bubble, isn’t it? It has to be.

Schwartz, possibly after a stiff drink, blamed the painfully dull on-chain volume on (you guessed it) regulations. The big baddy? Unpredictable strangers lurking on decentralized exchanges. “Not even Ripple can touch XRPL DEX with a ten-foot pole, payment-wise,” David confessed. Solution? Permissioned domains. Apparently, soon-to-be-released features will finally let institutions swap coins without worrying they’re accidentally trading with SatoshiNakamoto666 from Unknownlandia. Phew.
