Bitcoin bends, DeFi blasts, DOGE howls: What’s going on?
BlackRock + Nasdaq file to supercharge ETH passive income.

Hello India, ride the crypto currents with Hanoomaan!
Bitcoin DeFi has exploded a stunning 20× since the start of 2024, with Total Value Locked jumping from around $307 million to over $6.4 billion in just 18 months, thanks to protocol innovation, institutional inflows, and liquid restaking hype. Builders are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as the next frontier for decentralized finance, tapping into its rock-solid security and massive liquidity pool. Bottlenecks remain limited smart contract tools and composability but with infrastructure improvements and Layer-2 push, the stage is being set for BTC to rival Ethereum in yield opportunities.

📜US House Passes “Genius Act” - First Major Crypto Law Incoming

History might be in the making for crypto in the U.S.
The “Genius Act,” a landmark stablecoin regulation bill, just cleared the House. If the Senate follows through, this will become America’s first major crypto-specific legislation and it could reshape the global digital asset ecosystem.
Key highlights of the bill:
▪️ Empowers federal and state regulators to oversee stablecoin issuers
▪️ Sets clear reserve and audit standards to ensure 1:1 backing
▪️ Prevents algorithmic coins like TerraUSD from slipping through the cracks
▪️ Opens the door for licensed nonbanks to issue stablecoins legally
Why this matters?
▪️ Institutional adoption of stablecoins could finally accelerate
▪️ Crypto businesses get regulatory clarity, boosting confidence
▪️ Global regulators might follow suit with similar frameworks
For years, the absence of clear rules in the U.S. kept innovation at arm’s length. This bill signals the end of that ambiguity and a new beginning for regulated crypto finance.
Whether you're in fintech, payments, or Web3, this could be the moment we look back on as the regulatory inflection point.
MARKET MOVERS

📊Skyrocket: The total cryptocurrency market cap has surged past $4 trillion, propelled by explosive rallies in XRP and ETH, XRP hit record highs with a 20% move, and Ethereum’s breakout added enough market juice to push the cap through this milestone. This isn’t just a party trick, wider adoption and robust altcoin momentum are pulling more capital into the ecosystem, signaling renewed investor confidence. With over $727 million pouring into spot ETH ETFs this week, sparked by macroeconomic shifts and Fed uncertainty, experts now warn that a swift pullback is unlikely.
💰Solid: Ether’s one-month surge of 47% to $3,600 is backed by real buy-ins, not just hype, Ether ETF inflows hit their largest single-day total, and the pressure on the Fed is keeping the bullish winds blowing. Macro conditions are mixed, not toxic giving Ether room to run. As inflows land directly into cold storage, supply is effectively locked away, setting the stage for sustained upside.

💸Goliath: BlackRock doubled down yesterday with a jaw-dropping $750 million Bitcoin buy, lifting its total BTC holdings to $86.2 billion around 3.6% of all circulating BTC, signaling unwavering institutional faith in Bitcoin’s long‑term resilience.
🔐Silence: Adam Back the cryptographer dubbed a top Satoshi candidate has quietly rerouted $3.5 billion of his Bitcoin into regulated vehicles, choosing structural safety over secrecy. Is this a new era of transparency or strategic shelter?
📑Turbo: BlackRock and Nasdaq just filed to add staking to their iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). If approved by the SEC possibly before year-end, ETH holders could earn passive income via staking rewards, unleashing a potential supply squeeze and fueling a “turbo-mode” rally.
📈Sprout: Since its debut, the new U.S. Solana staking ETF has amassed $74 million AUM, with a robust $33 M+ trading volume, proving institutional appetite for yield-bearing altcoin exposure.

📈Dogecoin’s 2025 breakout signals a meme coin momentum shift

Don’t laugh off meme coins just yet, Dogecoin (DOGE) is having its biggest breakout of 2025.
DOGE recently surged over key technical levels, outperforming both Shiba Inu (SHIB) and even large-cap coins like XRP. Analysts say this may be a signal that meme-driven momentum is returning to crypto markets especially as retail interest surges alongside BTC's rise.
Meanwhile:
▪️ SHIB is approaching a key resistance zone; a breakout here could ignite another wave
▪️ XRP shows signs of euphoric trading, a pattern often seen before a cooldown
What does this tell us?
▪️ Retail speculation is heating up. That often precedes broader market volatility.
▪️ Altcoin sentiment is rebounding, riding on Bitcoin’s ETF-fueled surge.
▪️ Market dynamics are shifting from fundamentals to narrative-driven plays.
As a founder, investor, or trader - this is your reminder that market psychology drives momentum. Doge’s surge might seem irrational, but in Web3, community energy can often outpace traditional valuation models.
The meme wave isn’t just hype, it’s behavior worth understanding.
