Along with the movement in the cryptocurrency market, the cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index has also risen! Here are the details

The cryptocurrency market's Fear and Greed Index, which tracks investor sentiment, has shown a significant improvement. The index, calculated by CoinMarketCap, rose to 55 today, marking a 14-point increase from the previous day. While still in the neutral zone, this indicates investors are adopting a more positive outlook. The index, ranging from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), suggests sentiment has strengthened considerably, though the market is not yet in a state of extreme optimism. The calculation incorporates several market indicators including price movements of top cryptocurrencies, market volatility, derivatives market signals (especially put/call ratios), stablecoin supply volumes, and search trend data. This 14-point daily rise signals a recent increase in risk appetite among crypto investors. However, the index remaining neutral suggests expectations for a strong bull run are not yet fully in place. Market participants will continue to monitor the index's underlying factors, particularly price action and volatility, in the coming period.

Russian sets up underground crypto farm in a friend's garage

A Russian man set up an underground crypto mining farm in a friend's garage located in the Khimki urban district. Energy company workers and police conducted an inspection after noticing an unusually high electricity consumption. They discovered 11 mining devices in the garage, three of which were operating at the time. The 44-year-old miner stated he purchased the equipment online in June. Police initiated a criminal case for property damage through deception or breach of trust under the Russian Criminal Code. He was not detained but ordered to appear for questioning as the investigation proceeds. As of August 15th, a complete ban on cryptocurrency mining is in effect in Moscow and the Moscow region. This applies to both individuals using residential spaces like apartments, garages, and houses, as well as industrial-scale operations. Separately, in the city of Novorossiysk, energy workers found a crypto farm with 300 devices inside a transformer substation. The equipment belonged to an entrepreneur who had accumulated an electricity debt exceeding 77 million rubles.

Trump opens door for Bitcoin as U.S. national debt surpasses $40 trillion

US national debt has surpassed $40 trillion, more than doubling from $19.95 trillion when Trump took office in 2017. The last trillion was added in just over five months. Pandemic spending under Trump and Biden accelerated borrowing, while entitlement programs, defense spending, and chronic deficits sustain it. Rising interest rates, now costing roughly $1 trillion annually, are making the debt more expensive to service and refinance. Bitcoin advocates see the $40 trillion debt milestone as an advertisement for the cryptocurrency's fixed 21 million supply, contrasting with unlimited government debt issuance. Bitcoin's price surged past $69,000 following a US Treasury announcement to buy back long-term securities. In related news, Donald Trump acknowledged discussions about the US potentially acquiring significant Bitcoin holdings, stating it could reduce pressure on the dollar. He emphasized the US would remain a leader in crypto. This is not a firm policy commitment, but Congress is already considering bills to explore a national Bitcoin reserve. The key test will be whether this rhetoric translates into actual policy as debt, deficits, and bond yields continue to rise.

Arthur Hayes: Awaiting Fed Signal, Replenishing Ammo to Position for Crypto Bull Market

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, argues that the yen is significantly undervalued and analyzes three potential paths for its appreciation. He dismisses the first two options—the Bank of Japan raising interest rates or Japanese institutions selling foreign assets—as politically or economically unfeasible. Instead, he identifies the preferred method: Japan's Ministry of Finance (MOF) using the Federal Reserve's FIMA (Foreign and International Monetary Authorities) repo facility to borrow dollars against its U.S. Treasury holdings, then selling those dollars to buy yen in the forex market. Hayes explains that U.S. Treasury Secretary "Besant" has already called for removing the FIMA per-counterparty limit to enable this. The execution depends on Fed Chair "Warsh" convening a subcommittee to adjust the FIMA rules. Hayes is confident this will happen, signaling a major shift in USD/JPY dynamics and the end of the "cheap" yen era. He connects this potential massive dollar liquidity injection directly to a surge in asset prices, particularly Bitcoin, physical gold, and gold miners' stocks, drawing parallels to the Fed's balance sheet expansion during COVID-19. Within crypto, besides Bitcoin, he views Ethereum as undervalued and highlights Ethena (ENA) as a high-potential, speculative altcoin that could see 5-10x returns if liquidity increases and boosts Bitcoin basis trade yields. Hayes concludes he is waiting for the Fed's signal to fully deploy capital, anticipating a significant crypto bull market.

Trump's White House Crypto Summit Sets Tone: Cryptocurrency Ushers in 'Regulatory Spring'

Trump Holds Crypto Summit at White House, Signaling "Regulatory Spring". On July 20, President Trump convened a roundtable with U.S. financial regulators and leading cryptocurrency industry executives. Key attendees included heads of the CFTC and SEC, along with CEOs from Coinbase, ICE/NYSE, Nasdaq, Robinhood, Kraken, Ripple, and Chainlink co-founder. The summit focused on U.S. competition for leadership in fintech and AI. Trump highlighted two legislative efforts: the already-signed GENIUS Act, which facilitates compliant dollar-pegged stablecoins, and the pending Clarity Act, aimed at legally defining "crypto securities" vs. "crypto commodities." Industry leaders indicated a Congressional vote on the Clarity Act is scheduled for September 15. Regulators outlined key initiatives. The CFTC confirmed the launch of the first U.S.-regulated Bitcoin perpetual futures contract and is working to compliantly bring the decentralized protocol Hyperliquid to the U.S. The SEC proposed new rules to clarify legal fundraising for crypto startups using digital assets. In a Q&A, Trump expressed openness to expanding the U.S. government's Bitcoin reserves. The event was widely viewed as a major positive signal for the crypto industry, contributing to a sharp overnight price surge for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bull Run: Four Key Drivers Behind the Overnight Market-Wide Surge in Crypto

"Crypto markets surged overnight with Bitcoin reclaiming $69,000 and Ethereum jumping nearly 20%. Key drivers include: 1) The U.S. Treasury doubling its long-term bond buyback size, lowering yields and boosting risk appetite. 2) Positive regulatory signals from a White House crypto summit and a new SEC proposal offering funding exemptions. 3) A reversal in Bitcoin ETF outflows, indicating renewed institutional buying. 4) A massive short squeeze, with over 93% of recent liquidations being short positions, amplifying the price moves."

Tom Li Suggests Managing Robots Through Smart Contracts

Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, advocates for using Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts to verify and control the actions of AI-powered robots, especially as their physical capabilities begin to surpass human limits. He cites a new Chinese humanoid robot as an example. Lee sees no threat in recent Stanford research showing AI models converging toward a "single intelligence," arguing this trend increases blockchain's relevance for ensuring transparency and control. He agrees with BlackRock's view on the growing convergence of AI and crypto but believes Ethereum will be the primary platform for AI and robotics. Lee notes the rising ETH/BTC ratio, expecting new catalysts from asset tokenization by major US financial firms and the development of AI agents. This contrasts with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's previously expressed concerns about uncontrolled advanced AI.

Crypto Scammers Pose as Address AML Checking Services

Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a cryptocurrency scam where fraudsters impersonate legitimate AML (Anti-Money Laundering) address-checking services like AMLBot by copying their design, logos, or using similar names such as AMLCheck. These fake services, which normally verify if a crypto address has been linked to illegal activities, trick users by asking them to connect their wallet—unlike genuine services that only require a public address. Once a user connects, scammers obtain their public address and create a transaction for them to approve, often claiming a "security check" or "compliance verification." The fake service then displays a false error, prompting the user to deposit a small amount for a "fee" to complete the check. After the user complies, the site shows a "clean address" result and offers a downloadable verification report, which installs malware. Malwarebytes Labs and security firm CertiK warn that legitimate AML checks never require wallet connections, transaction approvals, or seed phrases. If a service requests these, it is a scam. In cases of theft, users are advised to move remaining funds to a new address and avoid "asset recovery" offers for a fee. CertiK noted that phishing and deepfakes are primary hacker tools, with crypto industry losses reaching $3.3 billion in 2025 alone.

CEO of Solana Policy Institute Assesses Chances of CLARITY Act Passing Before Congressional Elections

The CEO of the Solana Policy Institute, Miller Whitehouse-Levine, stated that the window for passing the comprehensive crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, is almost closed. He estimates only a 10% chance of the bill's approval before the November 2026 Congressional elections. The bill's progress has stalled, with a Senate vote delayed until after the August recess. Whitehouse-Levine noted that advancing legislation becomes increasingly difficult as the current Congressional term nears its end. He explained that new stakeholders realizing the bill might pass have entered the process, complicating negotiations with more parties involved. Given the legislative hurdles, industry experts, including Whitehouse-Levine, are now focusing more on potential rule changes from regulators like the SEC and CFTC as a more feasible path forward for crypto regulation in the US.

Ali Martinez Waits for Cardano Level Indicating an Upward Reversal

Cryptocurrency Cardano (ADA) has triggered a new bullish signal after reaching the $0.17 downside target identified by analyst Ali Martínez. Martínez noted a buy signal from the daily TD Sequential indicator, which often appears after a prolonged decline and suggests selling pressure may be exhausting. With ADA hitting the $0.17 level, the analyst anticipates a potential short-term rebound towards $0.20, representing a roughly 15% gain from current levels. The $0.20 level is technically significant as a previous resistance zone and a key psychological barrier for bulls. A move above $0.18 would strengthen recovery chances, potentially opening the path toward $0.22. However, failure to hold the $0.17 support could invalidate the bullish outlook and lead to deeper price declines. At the time of reporting, ADA was trading at $0.17, up 2.2% over 24 hours but still down 1.5% on the weekly chart. It remains below its key 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages, indicating the broader bearish trend persists. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 44.29 suggests neutral momentum, with selling pressure easing but no clear signal for a strong bullish reversal yet.
