The crypto market cap added over $50 billion in a day as bitcoin spiked above $20,000 and ETH is up 9%.

After several days of trading sideways, bitcoin finally initiated a leg up and spiked above $20,000. Most altcoins are also well in the green today, led by Ethereum’s impressive 9% surge.

Bitcoin Looks to Reclaim $20K

Following the end of June, which turned out to be bitcoin’s worst trading month in over a decade, the cryptocurrency experienced enhanced volatility by surging with over $2,000 in minutes to a multi-day high of just under $21,000.

However, this uptick didn’t last long, and the asset returned below $20,000 shortly after. Then came the weekend, which was untypically calm, and BTC settled at approximately $19,000.

Aside from one brief spike to just over $19,500, the asset spent most of the next three days at the aforementioned level. It was just when July 4 was coming to its end when the cryptocurrency started to gain traction and jumped to an intraday high of $20,400 (on Bitstamp).

As of now, BTC has lost a few hundred dollars and sits around $20,000. Its market cap is up to $385 billion, and its dominance over the altcoins is at 42.3%.

Notable Bitcoin News

The analytics platform Glassnode suggested that the asset could be near its bottom as market speculators have been purged.

Celsius Network has repaid $120 million of its debt, thus reducing the BTC liquidation price to below $5,000.

Altcoins See Green

The alternative coins were quite calm as well in the past several days, but most have turned green now.

Ethereum leads the way with a substantial 9% increase. Consequently, the second-largest crypto has added around $100 in a day and stands at $1,150.

BNB has increased by about 7% since yesterday and has jumped to above $230 after struggling below $220 in the past few days. Solana’s daily surge is similar, and SOL is now at $35.

More modest gains come from Ripple, Cardano, Dogecoin, Polkadot, Tron, and Shiba Inu, while MATIC has soared by 14% to well above $0.5.

With several lower- and mid-cap alts in similar positions, the overall crypto market cap has added $50 billion in a day and stands above $900 billion now.

Strategi Bertahan Hidup Sampingan Perusahaan DAT: Setelah Roda Gigi Penimbunan Mata Uang Kripto Berhenti, Mereka Mulai Menyelamatkan Diri

Sejak melemahnya pasar kripto, banyak perusahaan DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) yang mengalami kesulitan dengan model bisnis "flywheel" menimbun aset kripto. Perusahaan besar seperti Metaplanet dan Strategy, yang sebelumnya terkenal dengan janji "tidak pernah menjual" Bitcoin, kini mulai mengeksplorasi strategi alternatif seperti pembiayaan dengan jaminan Bitcoin dan pembelian kembali saham untuk mempertahankan nilai. Banyak perusahaan DAT lainnya memilih untuk keluar dari model ini. ETHZilla, yang pernah didukung Peter Thiel, telah beralih ke bisnis tokenisasi RWA. Perusahaan-perusahaan lain seperti Prenetics Global dan Sequans Communications kembali fokus ke bisnis inti mereka. Data menunjukkan penurunan signifikan dalam pembelian aset kripto oleh perusahaan DAT. Sebagai tanggapan, perusahaan-perusahaan DAT kelas menengah melakukan transformasi strategis kolektif ke dua jalur utama: 1. **Transformasi menjadi Platform Manajemen Aset dan Dana Hasil Institusional:** Contohnya SharpLink Gaming, yang menempatkan hampir 100% holding ETH-nya dalam staking dan bermitra dengan Galaxy Digital untuk menawarkan dana hasil bagi klien institusi. GameSquare bekerja sama dengan Dialectic, menggunakan platform algoritma untuk mencari hasil yang lebih tinggi di berbagai protokol DeFi. 2. **Transformasi menjadi Operator Infrastruktur Blockchain:** Ini terutama terlihat di ekosistem Solana. DeFi Development membeli SOL, mengakuisisi perusahaan validator, dan meluncurkan token staking cairannya sendiri (dfdvSOL) yang terintegrasi ke dalam protokol DeFi utama. SOL Strategies dan Forward Industries juga mengikuti jalur serupa, membangun bisnis infrastruktur staking dan produk DeFi seperti DEX BisonFi. Transformasi ini mencerminkan peningkatan kematangan industri, beralih dari sekadar arbitrase modal ke pembangunan nilai operasional yang nyata seperti keunggulan teknologi, efek jaringan, dan partisipasi mendalam di ekosistem. Namun, risiko tetap ada, termasuk risiko kontrak pintar di DeFi dan ketergantungan pada kesehatan suatu ekosistem blockchain. Pada akhirnya, fase transisi ini menandai pergeseran dari "hiburan modal" menuju penciptaan arus kas nyata dan nilai pengguna, yang dianggap lebih tahan terhadap siklus pasar.
