Özet

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) briefly spiked to $47,765 at 00:34 a.m. UTC on the Bitstamp exchange, hitting the highest level since Jan. 3.

Image by tradingview.com The cryptocurrency briefly turned positive for the year after the sudden price spike. However, it is worth mentioning that it is still 32.11% from reclaiming its all-time high of $69,044.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading just below the $47,000 level on major spot exchanges, struggling to extend the uptrend.
The top cryptocurrency displayed poor performance at the beginning of the year due to risk-off sentiment caused by the Federal Reserve’s hawkish U-turn. As reported by U.Today, Bitcoin hiked the benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2018 earlier this month.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency is now up roughly 26% over the past two weeks, putting bulls back in the driver’s seat. However, it remains to be seen whether this rally will have legs.
Bitcoin’s strength has also boosted some of the top altcoins, with Ethereum (ETH) adding about 5.27% over the last 24 hours.
Polkadot (DOT) is currently the best-performing altcoin within the CoinMarketCap top 10, adding more than 8%.
A repeat of the 2019 rally?
In a recent tweet, chartist Peter Brandt noted that Bitcoin could be in the process of forming the ascending triangle pattern. The veteran trader pointed to the similarities between the current price action of the largest cryptocurrency and its performance in 2019.

Securitize Goes Public, The True 'First RWA Stock' Has Arrived

Securitize (SECZ) debuted on the NYSE on July 2nd and simultaneously launched a tokenized version of its shares on Solana and Avalanche. This move, representing ~$295M in tokenized shares, is a significant step for the RWA narrative, shifting focus from private assets to public equities. Critically, this is a case of "issuer-led" tokenization, where Securitize itself aims for the tokens to represent the same underlying common stock, not a synthetic derivative. This provides a more credible sample for other public companies to evaluate. The model is not about permissionless trading. Access is restricted to eligible U.S. investors via Securitize's regulated platform, with full KYC/AML. Compliance is built into the product, leveraging its status as a registered broker-dealer and transfer agent. The blockchains act as an efficient execution layer for recording ownership and enabling programmable transfers (e.g., using Solana's Token-2022 for compliance rules), but within a hybrid, regulated framework. Key challenges remain: proving meaningful secondary liquidity, ensuring seamless execution of shareholder rights (voting, dividends), and, most importantly, attracting adoption from non-crypto-native public companies. If successful, SECZ could evolve from a proof-of-concept into early evidence of structural change in capital markets infrastructure.

To Buy Discounted ETH, How to Choose Between Bitmine and SharpLink?

"Buying Discounted ETH: SharpLink vs. Bitmine" analyzes two major treasury companies during a period of low ETH prices. Both hold significant ETH positions at a loss: SharpLink (with ~886.7K ETH at an average cost of ~$3,609, unrealized loss >$1.7B) and Bitmine (with 5.7M ETH, ~4.7% of supply, cost ~$3,400, loss >$11B). Despite similar ETH price declines and inclusion in Russell indices, their market valuations differ markedly. SharpLink trades at a ~21% discount to its ETH net asset value (NAV), while Bitmine's discount is only ~6%. The article compares them across key dimensions: financing ability (Bitmine raised $19.2B aggressively vs. SharpLink's smaller, steady raises), stock liquidity (Bitmine is significantly more liquid), and narrative execution (both support Ethlabs; SharpLink plans RWA tokenization, yet to materialize). For short-term trading on an ETH rebound, Bitmine offers better liquidity and a smaller NAV discount. For long-term holding, SharpLink's deeper discount and simpler capital structure (vs. Bitmine's perpetual preferred shares) may offer more upside if ETH recovers, though it carries higher liquidity risk. The choice depends on the investor's risk preference between SharpLink's visible price/ liquidity weakness and Bitmine's hidden risks in its capital structure and past valuation premiums.

Racing with Robinhood, Is Lighter Playing a Big Game?

"Lighter, a perpetual and spot exchange founded in 2022 by Vladimir Novakovski, is making strategic moves. After raising $68 million in November 2025 from investors like Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital, the project has recently updated its tokenomics and deepened its partnership with Robinhood. Key updates include a shift to permanent token burns from protocol revenue, with the first burn scheduled post-Q2 2026, and a change in staking rewards to be funded from the ecosystem reserve instead of protocol revenue. In July, Lighter was designated as Robinhood's official perpetual contracts partner and integrated directly into the Robinhood Wallet, gaining access to its vast user base. The partnership includes a $11 million LIT rewards program for users. Furthermore, Lighter plans to launch options trading in Q3 2025 and is reportedly working with the CFTC towards becoming a compliant decentralized exchange in the US. The LIT token has a fixed supply of 1 billion, with significant portions allocated to the team and investors subject to a 1-year cliff followed by a 3-year linear vesting schedule, starting from the Token Generation Event in December 2025."

Buying Discounted ETH, Which One to Choose: Bitmine or SharpLink?

The article compares two major ETH treasury companies, SharpLink and Bitmine, for investors seeking indirect ETH exposure via stocks during a bear market. Both hold significant ETH at similar cost bases (~$3,609 and ~$3,400 respectively) and face comparable percentage losses (>50%). Key differences lie in scale, valuation, and financing. Bitmine holds 5.7M ETH (4.7% of supply) with a ~$76B market cap and trades at only a ~6% discount to its net asset value (NAV). It has superior liquidity, aggressive financing (raising $19.2B in 11 months), and inclusion in the Russell 1000 index. However, its structure includes perpetual preferred stock with dividend costs, and past investors paid significant premiums, adding an extra layer of valuation risk. SharpLink holds ~887k ETH, has a ~$10.2B market cap, and trades at a deeper ~21% discount to NAV. Its financing has been slower, relying on smaller offerings. It promotes an "institutional narrative" with ties to Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and RWA/tokenization plans, though these remain unimplemented. Its liquidity is lower, but its simpler capital structure means current investors aren't paying for past overvaluation. In summary: For tactical trading in a downturn, Bitmine offers better liquidity and tighter NAV pricing. For potential long-term upside if ETH recovers, SharpLink's deeper discount offers more theoretical repair room, though it faces execution risks. The choice depends on whether one prioritizes trading efficiency and scale (Bitmine) or a potentially larger discount and simpler structure (SharpLink).

Solana Derivatives Market Sets Record $147 Billion Perps Volume in Q2 2026

Solana's decentralized derivatives market achieved a record $147 billion in perpetual swap trading volume during the second quarter of 2026, signaling its growing dominance in the sector. This surge, driven by high activity from retail traders and automated market makers, represents a significant structural shift rather than short-term market noise. The data, sourced from DeFiLlama, highlights concentrated activity on the Solana network. While a major milestone for decentralized derivatives, the report cautions that this volume is distinct from spot trading or total value locked and does not guarantee specific price movements, serving instead as a verified data point for assessing market trends.
