CRYPTO WEEK IS HERE 🏦

BREAKING: 'Crypto Week' set to be pivotal moment for digital asset legislation: Here's what you need to know

Bitcoin’s been setting all-time highs left, right, and centre this week.

But this time, it wasn’t just ETF inflows or rate cut optimism driving it.

It was something potentially even bigger.

Washington just declared it “Crypto Week” - and everything’s changing.

Let’s break it down. 👇

Three major bills are now in motion:

• The GENIUS Act - a regulatory framework for stablecoins

• The CLARITY Act - a full market structure bill for crypto

• The Anti-CBDC Act - a ban on Federal Reserve–issued CBDCs

The GENIUS Act has already passed the Senate and could hit Trump’s desk by Friday, making it the first major piece of U.S. crypto legislation in history.

The CLARITY Act could follow soon after, unlocking legal pathways for institutions to custody, trade, and hold crypto assets with confidence.

Together, these bills could do what the SEC never did:

Bring clarity. Bring credibility. And bring crypto onshore.

Of course, not everyone’s thrilled.

Critics point to Trump’s alleged $620 million in crypto-linked profits and warn of politicised control over stablecoin approvals.

But the momentum is real.

Even skeptical analysts admit: these bills are likely to pass with bipartisan support.

And for the first time, the U.S. isn’t just debating crypto - it’s laying down the rules.

Why does this matter?

Because regulation doesn’t just unlock growth.

It reduces risk - and with it, volatility.

No more Luna collapses. No more FTX-style blowups.

Just institutional rails and massive capital waiting to flood in.

If these bills pass, the next 70% crypto drawdown may never happen again.

The rules are coming.

And when they do?

The floodgates truly open.

A 4,000X IS COMING 💥

Matt Hougan is back - and this time, he’s sounding the alarm on what might be the biggest opportunity in crypto.

Tokenization.

Not the buzzword. The real thing. A 4,000x opportunity.

And it’s already started.

What’s Happening

In the past month alone:

• Robinhood & Kraken both launched tokenized stock trading

• Coinbase filed to offer tokenized assets in the US - calling it a “huge priority”

• The SEC said it supports advancing tokenization innovation

• Galaxy Digital said tokenization threatens NYSE revenue

Translation?

Traditional finance is coming. And it’s bringing trillions with it.

Why It Matters

Larry Fink (CEO & cofounder of BlackRock) said it best:

That’s a $257 trillion market.

For scale? Stablecoins are a $250 billion market.

And tokenization could be 1,000x bigger.

Right now, only $600 million of real-world assets are tokenized on-chain. If that grows to just 1% of the total market?

That’s $2.5 trillion - a 4,000x jump from today’s levels.

And that value flows straight into Layer 1s like Ethereum, Solana, XRP…

How to play it

Mass adoption might still be a decade away.

But the pieces are already moving - and the story’s heating up now.

Matt’s advice?

Don’t try to pick the winner.

Just hold a basket of top Layer 1s and infrastructure coins - like Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Chainlink.

Because if tokenization really does 4,000x…

You don’t need to be perfect…

You just need to be in the game. 🎲

CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP 📈

For the 13th straight week, digital asset funds saw net inflows - this time a massive $3.7 billion.

That pushes year-to-date flows to $22.7 billion

And with prices ripping across the board, total assets under management just hit a new all-time high: $211 billion.

As always Bitcoin led the charge, pulling in $2.7 billion in inflows.

Ethereum followed with its 12th consecutive week of inflows, racking up $990 million — the fourth-largest weekly inflow on record.

However…

XRP saw its biggest weekly outflow ever, with $104 million exiting the asset.

Regionally, the United States dominated with $3.74 billion in inflows.

Switzerland contributed $65.8 million, Canada added $17.1 million, and Australia brought in $1.0 million.

Meanwhile, Germany, Sweden, and Brazil saw outflows of $85.7M, $15.7M, and $7.5M respectively.

July 10th also marked the third-highest daily inflow ever.

And here’s something big…

Over the past 12 weeks, Ethereum inflows have accounted for 19.5% of its AUM - nearly double Bitcoin’s 9.8%.

That’s a clear signal: institutional appetite for ETH is ramping up fast.

Like we’ve been saying for weeks now…

The institutions aren’t coming.

They’re already here.

CRACKING CRYPTO 🥜

Bitcoin sceptic Vanguard becomes largest shareholder in Michael Saylor's Strategy. Vanguard, a $10 trillion money manager, has through its funds become the largest shareholder in Bitcoin stockpiler Strategy.

Bitcoin smashes $120k, enters price discovery to become world's 5th largest asset. Bitcoin's price meteoric rise driven by institutional demand and pending US legislation spurs record liquidations.

Strategy bags another $472M in BTC as Bitcoin jumps to new highs. Michael Saylor’s Strategy acquired 4,225 Bitcoin for $472.5 million last week, bringing its total holdings to 601,550 BTC.

Pause at $120K, But Top Is Nowhere Near, Analysts Say. XRP, SUI and UNI outperformed as the broader crypto market started to digest the violent move higher over the past couple days.
