2. Top 10 Macro & Crypto News

Below is a summary of the most relevant crypto, macro, and stock market stories from July 7–13, 2025, focusing on institutional activity, regulation, and volatility triggers.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

Bitcoin hits new ATH at $118.9K — over $1B in liquidations
XRP, XLM, and crypto stocks rally ahead of U.S. crypto legislation
Nvidia crosses $4T cap, but stocks pull back on Trump’s tariff threat
Bitcoin outperforms Nvidia and the S&P 500 YTD

📰 Weekly Highlights:

Bitcoin Surges to $118,900 ATH
July 11 marked a new all-time high for BTC, driven by institutional demand and speculation around the U.S. creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Ether followed, crossing $3,000. Over $1B in short liquidations occurred during the move.
XRP Follows with +9.7% Spike
XRP surged alongside BTC ahead of a key legislative week starting July 14 in Congress. The total crypto market cap reached $3.68T, signaling renewed investor confidence.
XLM Rallies on PayPal Partnership
Stellar was the top gainer in the top 20 cryptos after news broke that PayPal’s stablecoin would launch on Stellar, boosting sentiment and usage outlook.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $1.18B
On July 10, Bitcoin ETFs saw their largest daily inflow of 2025, reinforcing bullish positioning by institutions. COIN, MSTR, and HOOD all rallied.
Congress Set for Crypto Week
July 14 marks the start of long-awaited digital asset regulation hearings. The market is pricing in favorable outcomes, which could set the stage for sustained institutional flows.
Top Crypto Stocks to Watch: HOOD, BTCS, Galaxy
HOOD reached $85.81B market cap, with analysts highlighting it as a top blockchain-integrated stock alongside HIVE, Bitfarms, and Bitdeer.
Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion, But Markets Retrace
While Nvidia reached a historic milestone, the Dow dropped 250 points as Trump announced tariffs: 35% on Canada and more possibly coming.
Visa, BlackRock Among Crypto-Exposed Picks
Yahoo Finance spotlighted Visa, CME Group, and BlackRock as safe bets with crypto upside in 2025, citing ETF exposure and earnings growth.
Macro Risk: Trump’s Tariff Shock
The tariff escalation boosted the U.S. dollar but rattled equity markets. Bitcoin and Nvidia remained strong, suggesting capital rotation toward hard and tech assets.
Bitcoin Beats All Majors in 2025
YTD, Bitcoin has outpaced both the S&P 500 and Nvidia, supported by ETF flows, pro-crypto policy, and growing treasury adoption.

💬 Comment:

With Bitcoin now above $118K and Ethereum near $3K, institutional capital continues to dominate this cycle’s momentum. Legislative clarity in the coming days could be a make-or-break catalyst. Traditional equities remain volatile amid tariff fears — but crypto shows strength through rotation and capital inflow.

3. Current market situation.

📊 Market Heatmap Summary

The crypto market surged during the past week, with green dominating across major assets:

🔹 Bitcoin (BTC) is up +9.14%, trading at $117,895
🔹 Ethereum (ETH) shows even stronger momentum at +17.47%, reaching $2,953
🔹 Among large caps:

XRP: +23.45%
BNB: +5.33%
SOL: +9.46%
ADA: +8.96%
LINK: +16.55%
TON: +9.73%
DOT: +7.50%

🟩 The altcoin sector showed widespread gains, with standout performers like:

SPX: +24.23%
FTM: +20.57%
GALA: +21.97%
FTN: +20.27%

🟥 Only a few red spots appeared, with minor drawdowns in:

TKX: –4.21%
PLUME: –4.10%
KET: –3.80%
Stablecoins showed slight negative deltas due to peg fluctuations (e.g., USDT, USDC derivatives).

💬 Comment:

The past week marked a strong rebound across the board. Bitcoin’s breakout above $117K and Ethereum’s acceleration above $2,900 triggered a broader altcoin rally. With most sectors flashing green, momentum remains bullish, though market euphoria levels suggest caution near resistance zones.

5. Weekly Insider Token Unlocks (14-20 July).

📊 Total Unlock Volume: $1.10B+

🔍 Key Highlights:

TRUMP: $903.6M unlock (45.00% of supply) – By far the week’s largest unlock. Watch for extreme volatility or potential price distortions.
FTN: $89.20M unlock (4.64%) – Major relative unlock size with already high 92% unlocked supply.
ARB: $37.96M unlock (1.87%) – Recurring unlock; may reinforce midweek volatility.
SEI & STRK: ~$18M each (1% and 3.53%) – Lower cap, but sizable as % of float.
UXLINK: $13.67M (9.17%) – High relative unlock vs. supply, low liquidity risk.
CLOUD: $11.04M (37.92%) – Mid-tier token, thin books; expect outsized impact.
ZK: $10.10M (2.41%) – Less visible project, but moderate dilution risk.

💬 Comment:

This week marks the largest unlock cycle of the quarter, headlined by TRUMP’s $903M event. While not every token will see sell pressure, price distortions are likely due to oversized allocations unlocking at once. Traders should monitor volume spikes and bid/ask spreads, especially between July 16–18.
