XRP has set a new record on the CME derivatives exchange, underscoring the demand for the altcoin. This comes as the crypto futures products on the exchange hit $30 billion in open interest (OI) for the first time ever. 

XRP Becomes Fastest To Hit $1 Billion In Open Interest On CME

In an X post, the CME Group revealed that its XRP futures products have crossed $1 billion in open interest, making it the fastest-ever contract to reach this milestone, having hit the mark in just over three months. The derivative exchange remarked that this is a huge sign of market maturity, with new capital entering the market.

This comes as the crypto futures on the CME exchange just surpassed $30 billion in notional open interest for the first time ever. Bitcoin and Ethereum boast open interests of over $16 billion and $10.5 billion, respectively, while XRP and SOL have crossed the $1 billion mark, indicating significant interest in these crypto assets. 

Commenting on this development, Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth, stated that people might be underestimating the demand for spot XRP ETFs. He suggested that the huge interest in the XRP futures confirms that there will be massive inflows into the spot funds if they eventually get approval from the SEC. 

Geraci also noted that there is already over $800 million in futures-based XRP ETFs. This has further strengthened his belief that there will be demand for the spot funds. The expert expects the SEC to approve the pending spot ETF applications, particularly now that the Ripple SEC lawsuit is over. 

The Commission is set to decide on these funds by October, when it will have to approve or disapprove proposed rule changes to list them on the stock exchange. Notably, XRP ETF issuers recently amended their S-1 forms, which Geraci described as a good sign towards approval. 

John Deaton Predicts Massive Demand For The XRP Funds

Following Geraci’s comments, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton remarked that he has also predicted that the spot funds will see significant demand when they launch. He noted that he made this prediction just as he mentioned that Gemini’s XRP card would be the platform’s most popular credit card.

Deaton expects these XRP ETFs to enjoy significant demand thanks to the influence of XRP holders. He opined that these holders were the reason why the Gemini App surpassed the Coinbase app in recent downloads, possibly as they rushed to use the XRP card. John Deaton believes the influence of these XRP holders cannot be underestimated, noting that 75,000 of them from 143 countries worldwide joined as amici curiae in the Ripple case.

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3, up over 5% in the last 24 hours according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Building the Bright Path While Secretly Crossing Chencang: Is Walsh Paving the Way for a September "Rate Cut"?

The title "Building the Plank Road Openly While Secretly Crossing at Chencang: Is Walsh Paving the Way for a September 'Rate Cut'?" suggests Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Walsh's hawkish stance may be a deliberate smokescreen. Academy Securities analyst Peter Tchir argues in a report that markets, currently pricing a 75% chance of a September hike, are missing a potential path to a September rate cut that Walsh himself might be quietly preparing. Tchir posits that Walsh's hawkish rhetoric aims to suppress long-term yield risks (with the 10-year Treasury yield falling recently) while creating room for a narrative shift based on upcoming data. The potential political endgame, according to this view, could be rate cuts in September and October, ahead of the midterm elections. This hinges on a political logic where the Trump administration's preference for lower rates remains unchanged. A core part of Tchir's argument involves redefining inflation metrics. He contends the Fed under Walsh may deprioritize the PCE index, criticizing its lagging components like Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER). Instead, he points to alternative, more real-time indicators like the New Tenant Repeat Rent Index (NTRR) and the Truflation daily index, which shows core inflation around 1.45%. He suggests the Fed could shift its data narrative to justify policy easing. Furthermore, Tchir downplays AI-driven inflation fears. He argues that consumer price sensitivity, evidenced by negative market reactions to price hikes (e.g., Apple), contradicts persistent inflation narratives. He also separates AI/data center spending—which he sees as relatively rate-insensitive—from broader consumer affordability issues, implying rate hikes are misdirected. Based on this analysis, Tchir sees a re-pricing of rate cut expectations as likely, creating opportunities in short-duration Treasuries. He maintains a neutral-to-slightly-bullish view on the long end of the yield curve. For equities, he recommends a significant overweight in energy (especially global nuclear assets) and, within defense/security themes, an overweight in biotech/pharma versus an underweight in semiconductors, expressing caution on AI/data center valuations.

IBIT Records $1.3 Billion Outflow in a Single Week, Bitcoin's Largest ETF Becomes a Wall of Selling Pressure That Bulls Must Break Through

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest U.S. spot bitcoin ETF, saw $1.3 billion in net outflows for the week ending June 26, accounting for roughly 73% of total ETF outflows ($1.79B). This significant, concentrated selling pressure from the primary vehicle that previously funneled institutional demand into bitcoin is now testing the market at a key support level near $60,000. The article notes a narrative shift: the same ETF that served as a major entry ramp for compliant investment is now operating in reverse as a potential exit lane. While ETF outflows represent a transmission risk rather than direct spot selling, they create a new structural headwind. Bitcoin's next move hinges on whether non-ETF buyers can absorb this pressure. Two scenarios are presented: if IBIT outflows slow and bitcoin reclaims the $59,000-$62,000 range, the event could be seen as a clearing of weak hands. However, if IBIT continues to lead significant redemptions while bitcoin struggles to hold $60k, the ETF complex itself may become a persistent source of selling pressure, challenging the long-held "institutional demand" thesis. The coming trading sessions will determine if this is a one-time purge or the start of sustained outflows.

Pump.fun surges 12% as holder count hits record high – 2 metrics could cap gains

The token of memecoin launch platform Pump.fun (PUMP) surged 12% as sentiment improved alongside renewed interest in memecoins. On-chain data showed strong investor participation, with the holder count reaching a record high of 122,440. Total Value Locked (TVL) also saw a significant increase of roughly $15.7 million, rising to $217.7 million and indicating fresh capital inflows. However, key protocol performance metrics contrasted with this positive price action and investor growth. Data revealed substantial declines in launchpad volume (down 86.7% to $5.8M), generated fees (down 35.6% to $587,200), and protocol revenue (down 23% to $147.8M). These drops suggest underlying user activity and platform utility remain weak. While the recent surge is supported by growing holder numbers and TVL, the sustainability of the rally is uncertain. For gains to be firmly supported, a recovery in fundamental protocol usage metrics is likely needed.

"King of Shilling" Hayes Strikes Again, This Time Setting His Sights on Deribit

On June 29, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes acquired approximately 6.16 million SYN tokens via OTC platform Flowdesk, valued at around $2.2 million. Subsequently, Hayes publicly endorsed SYN on X, calling it one of the most asymmetric investments he's seen since HYPE and declaring it time for an on-chain options DEX to challenge industry leader Deribit, naming Hypercall as that challenger. The article details the evolution of the Synapse Protocol, originally launched in 2021 as a cross-chain messaging and liquidity network. While its TVL peaked above $1 billion during the last bull market, it has since declined. The protocol's team has since built Hypercall, an on-chain options trading platform on Hyperliquid's HyperEVM, which supports trading options on "any asset" with features like 24/7 trading and defined risk limited to the premium paid. Deribit, founded in 2016, is highlighted as the dominant centralized crypto options exchange, commanding roughly 85% market share in BTC and ETH options. Its strengths include deep liquidity and professional tools, though it faces critiques over custody risk, KYC requirements, and regulatory uncertainty. The analysis suggests Hypercall's potential lies in decentralization, permissionless access, and transparency, potentially carving a niche in DeFi-native and emerging asset options. However, it faces significant challenges competing with Deribit's established network effect and liquidity depth. The piece concludes by noting Hayes's recent and mixed "call" history, referencing his previous promotion and subsequent sale of HYPE, as well as a controversial price target report for CARDS from his family office, Maelstrom, which was followed by a significant price drop for the asset. This activity has drawn criticism, with some accusing Hayes of creating exit liquidity for his followers.

One Year After the Crash of Crypto Treasury Companies, Copycats Are Already Making a Comeback

One year after the collapse of digital asset treasury (DAT) companies, which wiped out up to 99% for early investors, the scheme has returned in a new guise. Recently, Triller Group announced it would become a "SpaceX treasury company," causing its market cap to surge. This follows the rebranding of another firm, LGHL, now targeting a token called HYPE. The original model, popularized by MicroStrategy (MSTR) and its "Bitcoin yield" narrative, saw companies trading at massive premiums to their underlying crypto holdings. However, most followers like TwentyOne, Metaplanet, and Nakamoto have crashed 80-95%+ from their peaks, erasing nearly all value for late investors. The author argues these structures have no fundamental reason to trade at premiums when low-fee Bitcoin ETFs or direct ownership exist. The cycle persists due to speculative demand driven by FOMO, gamification, and a belief the system is rigged, met by insiders and promoters who profit from the pump-and-dump dynamics. Drawing a parallel to the 1637 Tulip Mania, the piece concludes that such frenzies are not a bug but a recurring product of markets, where greater fools provide demand and insiders supply the schemes. Despite holding Bitcoin personally, the author condemns this specific packaging of assets into leveraged corporate vehicles marketed as innovation, a cycle seemingly unstoppable until a major crash.
