Lido starts consolidating over 8 million ETH, valued at 16.5 billion dollars, into a much smaller number of validators.

While Wall Street wobbles under the weight of profit-taking on artificial intelligence giants, the crypto market refuses to give in to panic.

This sequence takes on a particular dimension as a decisive week approaches, marked by the Federal Reserve meeting, the publication of the PCE index, and the results of major Tech companies.
BitMine continues its accumulation strategy and hits a new milestone on Ethereum. The company announced holding 5.79 million ETH, about 4.8% of the total cryptocurrency supply.

A few days before the monthly close, bitcoin sends a signal that worries the market. For the third time in a few hours, the leading crypto failed below the $65,500 resistance, triggering a wave of liquidations estimated at $75 million. This new rejection reminds us that a market dominated by leverage can flip in moments, between hopes of recovery and a sudden return of selling pressure. A technical weakness that reignites questions about bitcoin's ability to regain bullish momentum.
Binance's Android app has disappeared from the Google Play Store in several European Union countries since July 27, 2026.

Is this a simple financial adjustment or a turning point in the American giant's strategy?
The cryptocurrency sector is going through a new phase where several companies are redirecting their communication towards AI. This evolution is causing reactions within the industry, notably at Coinbase.

According to him, these two fields should not be considered competitors but as technologies capable of working together to support future digital uses.

For two years, the earliest bitcoin holders regularly fueled the market by selling part of their holdings. However, this dynamic has just stopped. In the second quarter, the oldest wallets, inherited from the early days of the network, almost ceased transferring their BTC. This unprecedented slowdown in selling pressure, highlighted by Galaxy's on-chain data, could change the market balance. Behind this calmness, a cycle change may be emerging that traditional indicators still struggle to reflect.

Markets will ultimately not get the hoped-for respite. As the temporary tariffs implemented 150 days ago expired, Donald Trump chose to revive the trade war by announcing, this Friday, a new wave of taxes targeting about sixty economies. Presented as a response to forced labor in certain supply chains, this offensive goes far beyond trade. It reignites tensions between the United States, China and the European Union, while fueling a new phase of volatility in financial markets and alternative assets.

Is Ethereum just going through a simple consolidation phase or have investors already turned the page? While the crypto market watches for the slightest sign of a rebound, prediction platforms like Polymarket display a pessimism rarely seen towards the sector's second largest capitalization. Having returned around 1,880 dollars after a brief passage above 1,950 dollars, ETH remains above its late June low at 1,510 dollars, without convincing. This gap between a still solid network and a degraded market sentiment raises the question: how far can distrust go?

After weeks of continuous inflows, capital is beginning to leave American spot ETFs dedicated to cryptos. This reversal, observed at the end of July, marks a break in the momentum that had been supporting the market for several weeks. Far more than a simple flow indicator, these funds have become the main barometer of institutional demand. Their move into the red could reveal a change of mood on Wall Street regarding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more broadly, the entire crypto market.
The U.S. House of Representatives has taken a new step in regulating investments made by lawmakers.

Dogecoin-backed ETFs still struggle to convince investors. After a brief surge in subscriptions, institutional interest quickly waned, confirming the difficulties these products face in establishing themselves in the market.

This new stagnation phase raises questions about the real appetite of investors for these atypical financial vehicles.
Bitget’s Reality rTokens recorded up to 58% lower simulated slippage than competing tokenized equity products on $50,000 orders, according to a CryptoRank study.

A lawsuit filed in the United States now challenges the presentation of this operation to the French authorities.

This new procedure thus opens both a legal and political debate.
