Bittam Exchange Exposed: Why This Broker Is a High-Risk Platform
With a dangerously low WikiBit score of 3.06 out of 10 and serious questions surrounding its regulatory claims, Bittam Exchange has emerged as a high-risk platform that traders cannot afford to overlook.
Polymarket traders cut Clarity Act passage odds to record low as Senate delay drags on
The lack of a bipartisan ethics provision remains a major obstacle for the Clarity Act, which would establish a federal framework for digital asset markets by clarifying SEC and CFTC jurisdiction. Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has said he will not support the bill on the Senate floor without such a provision, and other Democrats have echoed conflict-of-interest concerns. As of Friday, no ethics language has emerged following a White House meeting, leaving the bill‘s largest hurdle unresolved. Supporters, including industry executives testifying in a House hearing, argue the measure would replace enforcement-based regulation with clear congressional rules. Nova Labs’ Sarah Aberg told lawmakers that regulatory uncertainty delayed investment, stating that clarity means “the right regulation from the right regulator.”
Bitcoin bottom countdown nears 50 days after BTC supply in loss passed 50%
Bitcoin's onchain metric "supply in loss" has exceeded 50% since early June, historically signaling a countdown to a macro bottom within 101 days; as of mid-July, 42 days have passed, making this the second-longest such window. According to K33 Research, previous bear markets saw bottoms 13 to 101 days after this threshold. Additionally, CryptoQuant's realized cap variance (RCV) model currently shows a Z-score of -2.35, deep in negative territory, suggesting the emotional premium from the bull market has been priced out. Past instances of extended Z-scores below -2.0 preceded twelve-month returns above 75%, with the most extreme reading in 2018 landing near Bitcoin's cycle bottom. These metrics collectively indicate the bear market may be in its final stages.
HSBC wins Bank of England approval to enter Digital Securities Sandbox
HSBC has received approval to operate in the UK‘s Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS), enabling its HSBC Orion platform to function as a digital securities depository for issuing, servicing, and settling digital securities. The bank, the first to be approved by the Bank of England to go live in the sandbox, will support digitally native bond issuance including the UK’s planned Digital Gilt Instrument (DIGIT), with the first transaction expected by Q1 2027. HSBC Orion has already facilitated over $5 billion in digital bond issuances globally. HSBC and London Stock Exchange Group have also signed a memorandum of understanding to develop connectivity for investor access. Launched in 2024, the DSS is operated by the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority to test distributed ledger technology in a live regulatory environment.
Crypto Biz: When dollars disappear, stablecoins step in
Stablecoins like Tether‘s USDT are gaining traction in emerging markets such as Bolivia, where a dollar shortage and the end of a crypto ban have led the government to propose recognizing USDT for payments alongside the boliviano, pending anti-money laundering safeguards. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI infrastructure face mounting investor scrutiny over insider stock sales, with firms like TeraWulf and Core Scientific among those disclosing sales as sentiment cools. CleanSpark’s stock surged 22% after signing a 20-year data center lease in Georgia worth up to $6.6 billion, accelerating its AI push, while Bitmine generated $46 million from Ethereum staking last quarter, staking roughly 85% of its Ether holdings and projecting significant future rewards.
Galaxy lands 15-year Texas Tech stadium naming rights deal
Galaxy Digital has signed a 15-year naming rights agreement with Texas Tech University, renaming the school's football stadium to Galaxy Stadium starting with the 2026 season. The partnership also names Galaxy the official data center and digital assets partner for Texas Tech Athletics, with plans to collaborate on student-athlete NIL opportunities, AI initiatives, and workforce development. The stadium will debut under its new name on Sept. 5, 2026, when Texas Tech faces Abilene Christian. Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal expands Galaxy's presence in West Texas, where it operates the Helios data center campus in Dickens County with 1.6 GW of approved capacity for AI and HPC. The announcement highlights Texas' growing role as a crypto industry hub, bolstered by major Bitcoin mining investments, pro-crypto legislation like the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and significant political spending by industry-affiliated PACs.
Bank of America taps new leaders to bridge crypto, AI and traditional finance
Bank of America has appointed Sonali Theisen as head of its global digital assets platform and Kevin Milsom as head of AI transformation, continuing a broader trend of traditional financial institutions building specialized teams around these technologies. Theisen, who also leads electronic trading and strategic investments in fixed income, currencies, and commodities, will oversee design, scaling, and governance of the digital-assets platform, focusing on integrating blockchain-based products like tokenized deposits and stablecoins, digital collateral mobility, cryptocurrency trade settlement, and custody, alongside digital asset transformation chief Adam Dixon. Milsom will lead AI implementation across the bank's global markets platforms. These appointments mirror similar moves by Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, and Elon Musks xAI, reflecting growing overlap between crypto and AI in finance.
Early Uber Investor: Bitcoin Has Strategy Problem
Prominent angel investor and early Uber backer Jason Calacanis argues that Bitcoin‘s biggest challenge is not the asset itself but the growing dominance of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and its co-founder Michael Saylor. He claims Strategy distorts the market narrative by becoming the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with its stock (MSTR) acting as a leveraged proxy that attracts speculative capital away from spot BTC or Bitcoin ETFs. Calacanis, who has long been skeptical of crypto, previously urged investors to sell MSTR and buy Bitcoin directly, describing the companys financing model as resembling a “stunning pyramid scheme.” He believes retail is more interested in world-changing bets like SpaceX and OpenAI.
4,000 XRP Holders Swayed Ripples SEC Court Win, Deaton Reveals
Attorney John Deaton revealed that nearly 4,000 XRP holders contributed sworn affidavits that Judge Analisa Torres cited in her landmark summary judgment, which ruled XRP itself is not a security while penalizing institutional sales. The July 2023 decision became a foundational precedent for crypto securities law, protecting secondary market trades. The case formally closed in August 2025 after Ripple paid a $125 million penalty and both sides dropped appeals, removing a major regulatory overhang. Deaton credited the holder statements and his amicus brief, arguing XRP is code, not a security, using the Howey test‘s orange grove analogy. Ripple’s leadership celebrated the anniversary, framing the victory as a collective effort. The ruling permanently shields XRP from security classification, enabling broader institutional adoption.
Tom Lee Says Ethereum Outperformed Memory Chips 55% on AI Bet
Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee has positioned Ethereum as the key infrastructure for the next AI cycle, arguing that capital is rotating from overheating semiconductors into the network. He cites Ethereum's 55% outperformance over DRAM in the past month and fresh inflows into spot ETH ETFs like BlackRock's ETHA. Lee's thesis is reinforced by his role as chairman of BitMine, which holds 5.77 million ETH—4.8% of global supply—making it the largest corporate holder. On the technical side, $2,465 is pivotal resistance, while support at $1,776 holds; the current price sits at $1,839 with cautious bullish signals from RSI and Bollinger Bands, though derivatives show skewed long leverage that risks a squeeze.
