Now, let’s chew the fat about one of our chummy contributors to this rally—the sharp rise in Sui’s Total Value Locked (TVL). You got it, folks! According to the knowledgeable sages at DeFiLlama, the network’s TVL has hit a sky-high $2.20 billion, marking an astonishing 8.74% leap in just a day. This surge is as encouraging as finding a five-dollar bill in last year’s winter coat! 🎉 It suggests an influx of user activity and a confidence boost for our developers, who are likely dancing a jig right now.

Like a mighty river, SUI’s price surges forth, leaving all who dare oppose it in its wake. A 44% monthly surge, a record $2.2 billion Total Value Locked (TVL), and fee growth that doubles that of Ethereum – the numbers are a testament to its unyielding resolve. 🔥

Take, for example, the rather sprightly performance of the U.S. spot Ether ETFs, particularly BlackRock’s very own ETHA, which has amassed a staggering cash inflow of approximately $908 million since its debut. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this remarkable influx of dosh has stretched their multi-week streak of cash inflows to a rather impressive $2.7 billion over the past four months. Quite a tidy sum for a digital trinket!

Ah, a new regulatory focus! Like all those diet fads that promise results while you’re mainlining pizza. Banks can now dip their toes in the crypto asset safekeeping pool as long as they mind their manners—i.e., follow those pesky risk standards and compliance protocols. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Reserve Board, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) put out a joint statement on July 14. They basically said, “Go ahead, just don’t act like a bunch of nincompoops.”

Indeed, the world of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) has embraced PUMP with open arms, with 55% of its trading volume swirling through platforms like Pumpswap, Raydium, and Meteora. The centralized exchanges (CEXs) Bybit and KuCoin, meanwhile, have taken the lion’s share of the remaining trade volume. 🦁

Bitcoin closed its highest weekly candle at $119,310, then rallied on to $123,100.

For ages, Vanguard has held steadfast, declaring crypto a perilous tempest—lacking in any intrinsic value, akin to a mirage on a dusty road. Yet the siren song of $10.4 trillion in assets has lured them, making them, rather surreptitiously, the largest institutional patron of the Bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy. Who would have thought? Talk about a plot twist! 😏

According to whispers from the shadows of SolanaFloor, this audacious blockchain has managed to amass a jaw-dropping $17 million in transaction fees and unsolicited “tips,” as if it were a street performer at a carnival! 🎪 By precise measurement, that is a tidy sum of $17,373,751—not merely a petty coin or two—outstripping its closest rival, the ever-earnest Tron, by over $3 million. It seems our friend Tron can only boast a humble total of $14.15 million, while poor Ethereum languishes at $11.6 million as of the day dreadfully marked July 13, 2025.

To review, Jerome Powell, who once rushed through 75 basis points of rate cuts before the 2024 election, quickly switched to a more hawkish stance after Donald Trump’s election (though he did allow one more 25 basis point cut just after November). This, as you might imagine, did not sit well with the president. 🤦‍♂️

Across the various fractured landscapes of this digital currency realm, we find weekly tidings set to ignite discussions among eager investors looking to fine-tune their portfolios like a musician adjusting his violoncello before a grand performance.
