Relief Rally Still in Play

Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! This week started turbulent for crypto, but Bitcoin is proving tougher than expected.

Saylor sells, Bitcoin barely blinks

Strategy just made its first larger BTC sale, and the market is still digesting what it means.

Bitcoin dipped on the news but bounced back fast, helped by $260 million in ETF inflows and a mysterious buyer on Binance soaking up supply.

That kind of demand absorbing a Saylor sale is exactly what keeps the relief rally to $70K alive.

But that demand matters more than usual right now, because the liquidity underneath it is getting thinner.

Liquidity is quietly draining

Tether burned $2.5 billion USDT this week, pulled straight out of circulation after redemptions.

In a market that was already thin, that’s less cash cushioning every move, up or down. It’s part of why a single mystery buyer can move price so much right now.

And the reserve story isn’t helping confidence

Adding to the uncertainty, Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is hitting legal hurdles, with officials unsure if Treasury even has the authority to manage it, or if the government can legally hold something this volatile long term.

None of this has broken Bitcoin’s structure for now, but it’s a reminder the rally is happening on thinner ice than it looks. Expect chop around $62-63K, with a potential push toward $70K.

Ethereum’s Vision Gets Even Bigger

Yesterday we talked about Ethereums future plans but they keep getting bigger..

Just days after unveiling the multi-year Lean Ethereum roadmap, Vitalik Buterin introduced an even more ambitious proposal that could dramatically shrink the blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs.

• The goal is to make Ethereum lighter, more scalable, and capable of supporting millions of validators without sacrificing security or decentralization.

• The proposal is still in the research stage, but it shows Ethereum isn’t slowing down. Developers are already planning the network’s next major evolution.

At the same time, institutions continue increasing their exposure to ETH.

BitMine Immersion Technologies bought another 42,197 ETH, bringing its treasury to 5.74 million ETH, or nearly 5% of Ethereum’s entire circulating supply. Around 85% of those holdings are already staked, generating yield while helping secure the network.

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee believes regulation could be the next catalyst, pointing to rising odds that the CLARITY Act passes in the U.S. He argues clearer rules would especially benefit smart contract platforms like Ethereum.

The bigger picture is becoming harder to ignore. While Ethereum’s developers are redesigning the network for the next decade, institutions are quietly accumulating billions of dollars worth of ETH today. That combination of technical progress and growing institutional conviction is becoming one of Ethereum’s strongest long-term narratives.

CredibleCrypto Why Ethereum Is Headed to $20,000+ (07.07.2026 Summary)

Credible Crypto explains why Ethereum is finally about to have its own moment after spending 8 years living in Bitcoin’s shadow.

Key Points

• Every big Ethereum move since 2017 was just Bitcoin pulling the whole market up with it, Ethereum never actually had its own bull run, until now

• The chart pattern Credible Crypto drew up back in 2022 has played out almost perfectly, hitting the exact buy zone he predicted and printing the early signs of a major move up

• Even in the most conservative scenario where Bitcoin just sits between 60 and 80K, Ethereum reaching its old highs against Bitcoin still puts the price somewhere between 11 and 20K

• Michael Saylor just admitted he may sell over a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin to cover his dividend payments, breaking his famous never sell promise and making Bitcoin look riskier than it used to

Takeaway
Eight years of going nowhere against Bitcoin, a textbook bottoming pattern, and the biggest holder of Bitcoin suddenly looking shaky. Everything is pointing the same direction and $20,000 Ethereum is the logical destination not a dream.

CoinBureau Wall Street is Turning ETFs Into BTC Buying Machines (07.07.2026 Summary)

Coin Bureau’s Lewis breaks down how Wall Street just turned dividend stocks into automated Bitcoin buyers, and whether this is genuine adoption or just a fee factory in disguise.

Key Points

• Franklin Templeton filed ETFs that hold boring dividend stocks but funnel the dividend cash straight into Bitcoin automatically, no exchange, no wallet, no decision ever required

• BlackRock launched its own version two days earlier, selling off Bitcoin upside to pay investors a 15 to 25% annual yield instead

• A 2025 SEC rule change cut ETF approval from 240 days to 75, which is why over 100 crypto products are expected this year alone

• Even a 1% Bitcoin allocation from the $47.6 trillion US retirement market would create $476 billion in new demand that did not exist a year ago

• The catch is real, the buying has no price filter and would buy just as mechanically at the top as the bottom, and layered fees compound into serious drag over decades

Takeaway
These products are launching into a bare market not a peak, which looks like accumulation not frenzy. Whether this becomes the deepest structural bid Bitcoin has ever seen depends entirely on whether the money actually shows up after September.
