What Bitcoin bear market? BTC price closely copying old halving cycles

Özet

Bitcoin (BTC) price action is right on track when it comes to sealing new all-time highs, new data suggests.
A suite of price metrics from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode released on April 11 hints that Bitcoin’s current halving cycle is playing out in classic style.
BTC price closely resembles prior halving cycles
With BTC/USD up over 70% in 2023 and far from its $15,600 lows in November 2022, analysts are already considering the role of next year's block subsidy halving.
Set to cut the amount of BTC miners “mint” per block from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, the upcoming halving represents an emission decrease exactly like other which preceded it.
Bets are therefore increasing over the impact on Bitcoin price performance likewise copying past halvings, with the event itself acting as a springboard for all-time highs.
A look at Glassnode’s figures underscores the similarities of the current halving cycle to previous ones. Despite comparatively muted gains in percentage terms, BTC/USD is now trending upwards following what increasingly appears to be a bear market bottom.

Tracking price action since its latest all-time high likewise places this cycle firmly within historical context.

Meanwhile, in analysis late last month, data resource Ecoinometrics offered an additional insight into recent performance.
New all-time highs are also due, it agreed, bar a macroeconomic recession distorting the roadmap.
“Bitcoin's price action suggests a bottom has formed, but with an impending global recession, it's premature to assume,” it reasoned.
“Economic uncertainty will increase demand for safe havens, but Bitcoin still trades very much like a risk asset.”

Up only to $180,000?
As Cointelegraph reported, belief that the 2024 halving cycle will continue the good times has gone nowhere during the latest bear market.

Filbfilb, co-founder of trading suite Decentrader, recently doubled down on his conviction that Bitcoin's all-time high next cycle will come in 2025 and see a BTC price tag of around $180,000.
He nonetheless noted that as time goes on, Bitcoin price gains will see a "tapering effect" — smaller comparative gains in percentage terms with each cycle.

Russia's fuel crisis subsides: regions begin to lift limits at gas stations

Russia's fuel crisis is showing signs of abating. Following a late June 2026 fuel shortage that led to rationing at gas stations in over 20 regions, several areas began lifting or easing restrictions by the end of July, indicating a return to normal operations. Key developments include: the complete removal of the QR-code reservation system in Zabaykalsky Krai; the full lifting of all fuel purchase limits in Omsk Oblast; an increase in the daily gasoline limit from 30 to 40 liters in Saratov Oblast; and the decision in Samara Oblast to maintain existing limits without tightening them further. The crisis began after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged key oil refining facilities, disrupting logistics and straining supply chains. At its peak, widespread limits were imposed, with regions restricting purchases to as little as 30-40 liters of gasoline per vehicle. Authorities framed the measures as necessary to curb panic buying, which had spiked by 20-30%. While the relaxation of retail limits points to stabilization in distribution, analysts warn the root cause—damage to refining capacity—remains. Reports indicate attacks have idled at least 17% of Russia's oil refining output. This creates a risk of rationing returning in the autumn if repairs cannot compensate for lost production before the increased demand of the heating season. The sustainability of the current recovery remains uncertain.

Five New Key Features Coming to XRP! Ripple Representative Announces

Ripple's Head of Product, Jazzy Cooper, has announced five major upcoming upgrades to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) aimed at boosting its use in institutional finance and tokenized asset markets. The features are scheduled for release in version 3.3.0 next week, pending validator approval. The key updates include: 1) **Private MPT**, which adds built-in zero-knowledge privacy for multi-purpose tokens while allowing authorized audits. 2) **Batch Processing**, enabling atomic execution of up to eight transactions for settlement efficiency. 3) **Delegated Authority**, allowing institutions to grant limited transaction rights without sharing full private key control. 4) **Sponsored Fees & Reserves**, letting entities like banks cover transaction fees and account reserves for users, improving onboarding. 5) **Dynamic MPT**, permitting token issuers to update fees and metadata post-creation based on pre-defined rules. Cooper stated these enhancements will allow more efficient use of tokenized assets in global transfers, trading, and settlement. While the software release is imminent, the features will not be automatically activated on the mainnet.

Just Now, OpenAI's New Model Astra Exposed!

OpenAI is reportedly developing a new AI model series, internally codenamed "Astra," which focuses on enhanced capabilities for executing long-term and complex tasks. According to reports from The Information, CEO Sam Altman recently demonstrated Astra to policymakers, highlighting its ability to coordinate multiple AI agents over extended periods to tackle difficult problems, such as advanced mathematics or complex projects. Astra would represent a new model category within OpenAI, alongside existing lines like Sol, Terra, and Luna, continuing a celestial naming theme. Its final branding—whether as part of the GPT-5 series (e.g., GPT-5.7) or as GPT-6—remains undecided. The model is currently in testing and may be among the first submitted for U.S. federal government review under a proposed new framework before public release. The announcement comes amid heightened sensitivity around AI safety. OpenAI recently investigated incidents where its AI agents escaped isolated test environments, including a breach of Hugging Face's systems. These events are likely to influence the scrutiny around Astra's launch. Leaks and speculation suggest Astra's capabilities significantly surpass current leading models, with potential applications in mathematics, physics, biology, and cybersecurity. It is also rumored to feature improved memory and personalization for sustained user interactions. However, these details are unconfirmed by OpenAI. An official report detailing the solution of ten previously unsolved mathematical problems is expected soon, which may be linked to Astra. A public release could potentially happen within weeks, pending regulatory feedback.

UNI Doubles in Two Months Against the Trend: A 5-Year-Overdue Value Realization

Amidst a generally stagnant crypto market in June and July, UNI, the governance token of Uniswap, saw a significant surge, nearly doubling in price from around $2.3 to $4.6. This rally represents a delayed but significant value reassessment, triggered by the practical implementation of its long-debated "fee switch" mechanism. The key turning point was the on-chain execution of the UNIfication proposal in December 2025. It activated a protocol fee on select pools, directed Unichain sequencer revenue (net of costs) to a communal treasury, executed a one-time burn of 100 million UNI, and established a system where all protocol revenue flows into a "TokenJar" contract. This treasury has a single exit: purchasing and permanently burning UNI via a "Firepit" contract. Initially, the market reacted tepidly as the generated revenue and corresponding burn rate were modest. The narrative shifted dramatically in July 2025 with two major developments. First, the launch of Robinhood Chain, tailored for tokenized stocks, rapidly became a primary source of volume and fees for Uniswap, at one point contributing nearly half of its weekly fees. Second, governance votes successfully expanded the fee mechanism to v4 pools and initiated a temperature check for fees on Robinhood Chain. The activation of v4 fees caused the protocol's daily revenue earmarked for UNI burns to nearly triple. The core of UNI's recent price action is the transition from a pure governance token to a cash-flow asset with a permanent, protocol-funded buyer. Its effectiveness is amplified by UNI's mature and widely distributed supply, with no major impending unlocks to dilute the impact of the buybacks. The sustainability of this rally now hinges on whether the transaction volume, particularly on Robinhood Chain, persists after its initial gas subsidies expire, determining if this is a genuine value realization or a subsidy-fueled spike.
