Crypto analyst and trader Ali Martinez has taken to Twitter to share some positive news about the Bitcoin network as it continues to expand.
He believes that this could be a big potential impulse for Bitcoin's price growth.
Half billion new wallets set up
A tweet published by Martinez says that the number of new Bitcoin wallets that has recently emerged on the network has hit around 512,000. The expert also shared a screenshot from Glassnode to illustrate this.
He commented that this growth means a higher user adoption of BTC and, therefore, this indicates a potential price increase coming, since this is a sign of higher demand for the flagship cryptocurrency: "high demand = heightened price potential."
#Bitcoin network continues growing, hitting a higher high of 512K new addresses. Rising user adoption in a #crypto like #BTC typically signals potential price increases.

In essence, more wallets = high demand = heightened price potential! 🚀 pic.twitter.com/fFuMHvockr

Whale sells 11,000 BTC as price surges
According to a tweet by "Smart Money" tracker @lookonchain, yesterday, a whale sold a massive amount of Bitcoin right after the price of BTC topped the $30,000 level.
Initially (the exact date was not provided by the source), this whale bought 46,542 Bitcoins (worth almost one billion USD) on Bitfinex. He bought that at an average price of $20,083. Later, he sold 36,500 BTC from that stash on the same exchange at $28,039.
An hour before the tweet's release, this "smart whale" sent 11,000 Bitcoins to Bitfinex and sold that for $330 million after Bitcoin surged above the $30,000 level for the first time in 10 months. The price growth happened on the back of the news about the CPI value that was released on April 13, dropping to 5% versus 5.2% expected by analysts.
A smart whale transferred 11K $BTC ($330M) to #Bitfinex 1 hr ago.

The whale received 46,542 $BTC ($935M ) from #Bitfinex at an average price of $20,083.

Then transferred 36.5K ($1B) to #Bitfinex at a price of $28,039.

$710 million in Bitcoin on move
On April 12, Santiment on-chain data vendor reported that it had detected a Bitcoin transfer carrying 23,500 BTC evaluated at roughly $710 million. The analytics company marked it as the fourth biggest BTC transfer this year so far.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is sitting slightly above yesterday's high, trading at the $30,166 level.

2026 Mid-Year Report On-Chain RWA: Tokenized Stock Market Cap Doubles in a Year, But 90% of Rights Are Hollow Shells

The 2026 Mid-Year Report on On-Chain RWA highlights a significant growth in tokenized stock market capitalization, which nearly doubled from $951 million in March to $1.89 billion by July. However, the report reveals a fundamental contradiction in this "layer 2.5" ecosystem: products with the strongest legal foundation (like regulated U.S. infrastructure) lack liquidity and distribution, while freely tradable offshored wrapper products often lack substantive ownership rights. The increase is driven largely by a few products (SECZ, FGRS, STRCx) and platforms (Ondo, xStocks, Securitize collectively hold over 85% share). While distributed value across networks like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain has grown, the market remains fragmented. Products referencing the same underlying asset (e.g., Apple stock) are distinct legal liabilities with different intermediaries and jurisdictional rules, offering varying degrees of legal claim. The report cautions that headline numbers are misleading, as they reflect changes in distributed token value—driven by issuance, conversions, and price movements—not pure investor inflows. True "canonical shares" with legal ownership, wide wallet distribution, institutional liquidity, and independent on-chain price discovery do not yet exist at scale. Tokenized treasuries show stronger product-market fit, and ETFs may be easier to scale than single stocks. The core takeaway is a trade-off: legal certainty versus liquidity and composability.

Attention, Bitcoin Users! Today's Hack May Be Larger Than You Think. Here's What to Do

Bitcoin users are urged to take immediate action following the disclosure of a critical security vulnerability. Hardware wallet manufacturer Coinkite has revealed a flaw in the seed phrase generation process for certain Coldcard Mk3 devices running firmware versions 4.0.1 through 5.0.3. All bitcoin addresses created from seed phrases generated on these potentially affected devices are now considered at risk. This warning coincides with an ongoing investigation into a major hack that drained approximately 1,082.65 BTC (worth roughly $70.2 million at the time) from 1,196 single-signature wallets in just 41 minutes on July 30. Security analysts believe the coordinated thefts, which used identical transaction fees and left no change, were executed by an automated tool scanning for compromised private keys. Notably, this attack occurred about 30 hours before Coinkite's public disclosure of the Coldcard vulnerability, raising concerns of a possible connection. Experts strongly recommend that impacted Coldcard Mk3 users do not consider their old seed phrase safe. The advised course of action is to generate a completely new, secure seed phrase on a trusted, modern hardware wallet and then transfer all funds to addresses derived from this new seed. Simply moving the old, potentially compromised seed to a new device is not sufficient.

Bitcoin in August: Experts Expect Range Testing, Not a Quick Reversal

Experts anticipate Bitcoin will remain under pressure in August, lacking momentum for a sustained rally after a partial July recovery. The price, trading around $63.5k, is seen stuck in a $60-65k range. Analysts cite a challenging macro environment of high U.S. rates, persistent inflation, and a strong dollar as key headwinds, alongside record ETF outflows. Historically, August is a weak month for crypto. Experts outline three main scenarios: a base case of sideways movement between $58-68k (50% probability), a bearish drop to $50-55k (30%), or a bullish push toward $71-75k (20%). Key levels to watch are support at $60-61k and resistance at $67k. While some see current prices as attractive for long-term accumulation, most warn of potential short-term downside, with a retest of $60k or even a fall toward $53k possible. A decisive market turnaround is not expected before Q4, making August a month for testing key levels rather than a major breakout.

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: 594 Bitcoin Withdrawn in 25 Minutes

The Coldcard hardware wallet has been compromised, with hackers stealing approximately 594.5 Bitcoin (~$40 million) from 500 addresses in just 25 minutes. The root cause was a critical software bug, undetected for five years, which disabled the device's secure chip for generating true random numbers. This led to the creation of private keys based on predictable data like the processor's serial number, drastically reducing cryptographic security. The attackers exploited this offline by brute-forcing possible seed phrases, finding active addresses on the public ledger, and signing transactions. Initially, Coinkite (Coldcard's maker) claimed only older models were at risk but later admitted all devices running the compromised firmware were vulnerable. CEO Rodolphe Novak (NVK) apologized but ruled out financial compensation for affected users. To secure funds, owners must urgently update their firmware to specific safe versions, generate a completely new seed phrase on the updated device, and transfer all assets to new addresses created with that new seed. While a BIP-39 passphrase can help, it does not replace this migration process. Other Coinkite products like TAPSIGNER were not affected. This incident underscores that even specialized hardware requires rigorous, independent code audits, especially for cryptographic functions. It parallels past failures, like a 2006 OpenSSL bug in Debian, and raises questions about whether automated code analysis can ever fully replace human scrutiny in critical security areas.
