Back in 2014, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) made a bold bet by selling his apartment for around $900,000 to buy roughly 1,500 Bitcoin, a move many considered crazy at the time.
Years before launching Binance, that early risk-taking paid off massively. CZ went on to build one of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges, and his estimated net worth now sits at an astounding $114.6 billion, cementing this as one of history’s most legendary financial investments.
BlackRock clients purchased $50.8 million worth of Ethereum through its spot ETF, highlighting ongoing institutional demand and growing confidence in the digital asset market.
President Donald Trump bought between $50,001 and $100,000 worth of Strategy shares on July 27, according to a new US Office of Government Ethics filing. The purchase came just days after a smaller buy and matches his largest previously disclosed Strategy trade from February.
The filing also shows transactions tied to Coinbase, MARA Holdings and CleanSpark.
Strategy remains the world’s largest public corporate Bitcoin holder with 846,000 $BTC.

JUST IN: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have pulled in $2.84 billion in net inflows over the past 6 trading sessions 🚀
BlackRock's IBIT has led the charge, accounting for nearly half the total, roughly $1.35 billion of the streak on its own.
The streak has also flipped 2026 ETF flows positive for the first time since April, reversing a $5.5 billion deficit that had built up by the end of June.
Bitget says the $387.5 million hack that hit its hot wallets bears the fingerprints of North Korean hacking groups 🇰🇵
CEO Gracy Chen says IP activity and on-chain analysis point to techniques consistent with state-linked attackers, the same playbook blamed for billions in crypto thefts over the past few years, including Bybit's $1.5B hack earlier this year.
Bitget's $464 million protection fund covers the loss, but a full payout would burn through roughly 76% of it.
JUST IN: The CFTC just updated its crypto guidance, and it's bigger than it sounds 👀 Futures brokers and clearinghouses can now: 🔹 Invest customer funds in tokenized versions of assets they already trade (like tokenized money market funds) 🔹 Keep their official regulatory records entirely on a blockchain, with no more offchain paper trail required CFTC Chairman Mike Selig called it part of the agency's ongoing push to bring "regulatory clarity" to the crypto industry. 👏 #BTC走势分析 #amercia
Germany’s Finance Ministry has drafted a proposal to impose a flat 25% tax on crypto gains from 2027, potentially ending the country’s long-standing rule that generally allows individuals to sell crypto tax-free after holding it for more than one year. Including Germany’s solidarity surcharge, the effective rate could reach roughly 26.4%, before any applicable church tax.
The proposed rules would reportedly apply to crypto acquired from January 1, 2027, while assets purchased before that date would retain their existing tax treatment under the reported draft. Automatic withholding by banks and platforms is expected to begin in 2028, but importantly, the proposal is not yet law and could change during the legislative process.
