CRYPTO WORLD

₿ Record Crypto ETF flows but here comes the summer lull

“When everyone’s excited, sometimes nothing happens yet.”

Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP ETFs just hit record assets under management (AUM), showing how deep crypto is now embedded in traditional portfolios.

This is big: spot ETFs were once a crypto dream. Now they’re reality and institutions love them. But here’s the twist: even with record inflows, seasoned traders are bracing for a summer lull. Historically, July-August can mean sideways price action as retail interest fades and macro narratives quiet down.

Key takeaways for founders & investors:

1️⃣ Liquidity ≠ momentum. Big inflows don’t guarantee price spikes. Smart money often uses ETFs for hedging or longer-term exposure, not quick pumps.

2️⃣ Boring can be bullish. A stable summer can build a base for stronger runs later or flush out leveraged tourists waiting for fireworks.

3️⃣ Regulated doors are wide open. ETFs make it easier for conservative capital to touch crypto. If you’re building Web3 products, you’re no longer on the fringe, you’re now part of regulated finance’s tool kit.

💡Signal vs. noise: Watch usage trends, not just inflows. Volume without conviction means nothing.

MARKET MOVERS

📈Surge: XRP rockets past $2.28 on breakout trading volume as Ripple doubles down on its bold banking charter ambitions. This fresh momentum has traders eyeing $2.30 and beyond as Ripple positions itself closer to the traditional finance throne.

🐶Blastoff: Shiba Inu (SHIB) is flashing signs of a price explosion, riding the coattails of Ethereum’s looming fork. With indicators hinting at a possible $3,000 ETH, DOGE is tagging along for the ride, fueling dreams of another meme coin windfall.

🤝Alliance: Ethereum’s co-founder Joseph Lubin just showered Bitcoin’s biggest bull, Michael Saylor, with praise calling his laser-eyed strategy “visionary.” This unexpected nod bridges two crypto powerhouses whose philosophies often clash.

CRYPTO FRONTIER

Clampdown: The U.S. Treasury just hit a North Korean IT worker with fresh sanctions over a web of crypto fraud schemes. This bold move underscores growing global pressure to choke off Pyongyang’s digital money pipelines.

Fuel: Battery tech firm KULR just locked in a $20 million Bitcoin-backed credit line from Coinbase Credit, a powerful example of crypto’s growing role in corporate finance. By leveraging BTC as collateral, KULR’s tapping digital gold to supercharge innovation.

“Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and Trump. What could go wrong?”

Trump Media is reportedly planning a new “Blue-Chip Crypto ETF” holding major tokens like Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and more.

Love him or hate him, Trump knows how to capture attention and now he’s attaching that same strategy to crypto. This proposed ETF aims to brand select digital assets as trustworthy, packaging them under the “blue chip” label usually reserved for household stocks.

What founders and investors should read between the lines?

1️⃣ Politics is now baked into crypto ETFs. With a presidential campaign in play, crypto gets dragged further into mainstream culture wars for better or worse.

2️⃣ Main Street signal boost. Millions who’d never touch an exchange might grab a “Trump-endorsed” ticker through their broker.

3️⃣ What’s “blue chip” anyway? Crypto has no balance sheets, dividends, or decades of cash flow. This is about narrative and narrative moves retail flows, even if fundamentals lag behind.

The ETF boom isn’t slowing but watch how political branding changes investor behavior. Meme stocks meet meme coins now wrapped in ETFs.
