✅🔥 GRAN: Solana processed a record 4.2 billion transactions in July while SOL surged 40% in eight days, and tokenized real-world assets on the network neared $4 billion.
💥The US economy grew by 1.5% in the second quarter. For now, #Bitcoin remains stable at US$78,000 in light of this data.
The brokerage and research firm with US$800 billion in assets under management, Bernstein, issued a report projecting that #Bitcoin will reach a new all-time high of US$150,000 by mid-2027. The team of analysts, led by Gautam Chhugani, supports its forecast with the so-called monetary devaluation trade, pointing to BTC as one of the assets that would benefit most from fiscal expansion and the weakening of fiat currencies.
The report also projects that the peak of the current cycle will be around US$300,000 in 2029. The US$150,000 estimate represents an update to its expectations timeline for the halving cycle and institutional adoption.
💥According to the PCE index published by the US Department of Commerce, inflation in the United States stayed at 3.7% year-over-year in July, a figure that matches June. Trump can’t escape the embarrassment of his country, and some believe he will solve Venezuela’s problems...😅
B1tM3X co-founder and CIO of Maelstrom, Arthur Hayes, said that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is following the same liquidity playbook as Janet Yellen, using bond buybacks to inject liquidity, and he calls it the key reason why the new Bitcoin bull market has started. Bessent increased long-term bond buybacks from US$2.0 billion to US$4.0 billion per operation, adding an increase of US$20.0 billion.
For Hayes, although US$20.0 billion is a small figure compared to the US$40 trillion federal debt, it represents an implicit injection of dollars that the market recognizes as fresh liquidity. Hayes defines BTC as a liquidity smoke detector, and it responds in advance before liquidity injections become massive or official.
In the case of the band "Los Binanceros", the Public Prosecutor’s Office formally filed criminal charges against the three young people detained aged 18, 19, and 22. The defendants were charged with the offense of Improper Collection. The measure is in response to field investigations that determined how the network carried out an illicit arbitration scheme.
Although many users make transfers in the P2P alternative market daily, using the infrastructure of the national banking system to buy foreign currency at the BCV exchange rate and then convert it later into the USDT token at the price of the alternative market entails a high legal, criminal, and bank-blocking risk.
I wonder when they will investigate ALL the companies that provide them with dollars and then those same companies are settled in the P2P alternative market, or whether they can indeed do "illicit" arbitration. The underlying problem is not USDT, P2P, or electronic dollars; the core issue is control of the exchange rate—if there is proper liquidity in dollars.
💥The United States national debt of US$40 trillion now exceeds 123% of the country’s GDP. Trump is a genius of devastation...😅🤣😂
A #Bitcoin trader, who lost US$4.56 million, opens a new short position with US$23 million over 300 BTC and leverage of 40X. The new short position is opened with BTC trading around US$79,000, up 22% over the past seven days, which means the position is facing one of the strongest BTC rebounds since March 2023.
The price of #Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world by market capitalization, briefly rose above US$81,000 in the early hours of Tuesday during the Asian market, with a gain of more than 25% over the past week. The rapid rise above the US$70,000 zone triggered massive liquidations of short positions in the derivatives market, accelerating the bullish momentum.
Announcements about the U.S. Treasury bond buyback weakened the yield on sovereign debt and pressured the dollar lower, diverting capital toward higher-risk assets such as Bitcoin and gold. This is the first time since mid-May that Bitcoin has surpassed US$81,000, although it is still far below its all-time high of US$126,000, reached last year.
The co-founder of B1tM3X and CIO of Maelstrom, Arthur Hayes, argues that if #Ethereum reaches US$5,000, it would be the event that would open the door to a highly reflexive phase where institutional and retail capital shifts toward the rest of the crypto market. He claims that ETH is a large-cap token with worse relative performance in this cycle because it hasn’t broken above its previous all-time highs, which gives it a more attractive risk-reward ratio than Bitcoin.
Hayes’ analysis is not based solely on ETH’s technology or tokenomics, but on global liquidity injection, US Treasury policies, and quantitative easing, which will benefit the most lagging liquid assets. Unlike the 2021 cycle, Hayes warns that a new altseason driven by ETH will not benefit all altcoins equally.
According to the market intelligence platform and blockchain data analytics firm Glassnode, the latest #Bitcoin rally was driven tactically, with an increase in the positioning of leveraged futures and hot capital, while broader macroeconomic flows remain muted. When the price rises due to futures positioning and hot capital, the rally tends to be short-lived and highly vulnerable.
By relying on open interest in futures, even small moves against the price can trigger forced liquidations of long positions, causing rapid declines. Without macroeconomic flows to absorb the available supply, the price often hits strong ceilings in the zone of the average cost of short-term holders.

Binance Card in Venezuela is not yet available to all users for the following key reasons:
* Gradual rollout: The launch is being carried out in phases with limited quotas.

Accuse Binance of bitcoin liquidations up to USD 3,000 lower
The complaint reopens the debate about how exchanges calculate mark prices and execute liquidations during episodes of high volatility. Brandt's complaint still does not identify specific contracts, accounts, or pairs that would allow the operations to be verified. The anomaly pointed out by Brandt would have taken bitcoin to USD 72,500 only on Binance. Price anomalies on exchanges have fueled allegations of manipulation. Veteran trader Peter Brandt once again questioned Binance after pointing to an anomaly in the bitcoin price which, according to his analysis, would have taken the asset to USD 72,500 in isolation on that platform. The move would not have been replicated in the rest of the market and would have triggered a chain of automatic sales among retail traders.

🏷️Verified merchant cases continue to arrive MAÑOSOS in Binance P2P.
Everything is being forwarded to Binance Support for proper review.
👇Any verified merchant who comments on this post or leaves any negative comment WILL BE BANNED FROM THE CHANNEL.
🤩Our DMs are open for any irregularities in the P2P
Analyzing the situation described in the message, several key elements about moderation and security dynamics in P2P markets are identified:
* Risk on P2P platforms: The presence of verified merchants involved in irregular practices ("mañosos") highlights the need to maintain strict security filters, since the verification badge does not completely eliminate the risk of bad practices.
* Report handling: Forwarding cases to official Binance support seeks to route complaints through formal channels for proper investigation and possible institutional sanctions.
* Community policies: The warning about banning for negative comments or public discussions in certain channels reflects strict control of the narrative or centralized moderation, redirecting complaints exclusively to private channels (DM).
What specific action or analysis do you require regarding this case or the functioning of the P2P market?
For my part, I complained to Binances' CEOs—I’m tired of this issue, and more than that, I experience it too. I hope this post reaches far, because in Europe, Binance CEOs saying that regulators didn’t allow it is the dark reality. They know all about this and do nothing: they should clean up the rat inside Binance and apply the regulations of each country and each central bank.
I don’t know if they’ve sent this already around here, but watch out for this mmg
