Let’s start with Strategy (MSTR), the software company turned bitcoin hoarder. These folks are sitting pretty with nearly 600,000 BTC tucked away, making an estimated $28 billion in unrealized profit at a price of $117,464. They’ve spent a cool $42 billion to get there, making them the third-largest holder of bitcoin. The only ones who have more? Satoshi Nakamoto and BlackRock. I mean, if you’re going to be outdone, it might as well be by the mysterious creator of bitcoin and an investment behemoth, right?

The winds of fortune whisper that Bitcoin shall continue basking in the warm glow of bullish sentiment, propelled primarily by a burgeoning demand from institutional investors—those titans of the financial world. Indeed, the U.S. spot BTC ETFs have experienced the most gratifying cash inflows, totaling around $1.18 billion in recent months, as if beckoned by some invisible force.

As top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) surge to new record highs, Sei (SEI) is breaking out, tapping into bullish momentum to break above the key resistance of $0.30. This has led to levels last seen on January 31, 2025. The supply zone around intraday highs of $0.35 represents a previous key support level from November 2024, above which SEI rose to hit $0.73.

Leading this parade of prosperity was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which blazed through the $80 billion mark with all the elegance of a racing cheetah sipping espresso. It took IBIT just 374 days to reach this summit – a mere fraction of the time it took the previous record-holder, Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), who leisurely strolled to the same milestone in a whopping 1,814 days. Thank you, Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg Intelligence, for letting us know we should probably have a little nap in between. 😴

But we, the seasoned traders, know better than to be seduced by its charms. For in the shadows, the real action unfolds – the altcoins, those fleeting, whispered promises of untold riches, are where the true volatility (and upside) lies.

As the minute hands of the clock ticked, the vigilant eyes of on-chain detectives like PeckShield illuminated the actions of our digital rogue, revealing that this cunning deceiver had, in a surprising flourish, returned at least $40.5 million worth of digital treasures—replete with ethereal coins and the erstwhile Legacy Frax Dollar, a financial relic.

But, alas, it appears that the venerable sages of Wall Street still find themselves befuddled by the enigma that is Bitcoin. Like a mysterious stranger, shrouded in an impenetrable veil of secrecy, Bitcoin continues to confound and bewilder, leaving even the most astute analysts grasping at straws. And yet, there are those who would dare to predict its demise, to foretell a future where gold reigns supreme, and Bitcoin is but a distant memory. 😂

Those pesky resistance levels that once held back the tide of improvement are now being bravely challenged, particularly around the magical number $0.000013. Ah, the technical tableau suggests that for the first time since the dawn of May, SHIB is basking above both its 50-day and 100-day EMAs. Traders often perceive this crossover as a hint that long-term rallies loom like ominous thunderclouds overhead. ⛈️

Rumors are swirling that BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, could soon file for a spot XRP ETF, according to CoinGape. At the same time, the Ripple-SEC lawsuit has entered its final procedural stage, with both parties filing a joint motion to dismiss remaining appeals. Crypto analysts, including those from JPMorgan, suggest an XRP ETF could attract over $8 billion in capital inflows if approved later this year. 🤑

This expeditious surge shall assuredly suggest that buyers are intent on reclaiming dominion over the long-term aspirations of this ever-capricious market, while simultaneously acknowledging the mounting pressures evident throughout the balmy days of June and the dog days of July.
