🌊 Earthquake and tsunami in Kamchatka (July 29-30, 2025)
On July 29, 2025, at 23:24 UTC (11:24 local time in Kamchatka), a magnitude Mw 8.8 earthquake shook the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, being one of the most intense recorded since the Japanese megathrust earthquake in 2011. With a depth of about 19 km, the quake generated a tsunami with waves of up to 5 meters in Severo-Kurilsk, causing coastal flooding and material damage with no confirmed human losses.
1. 🔽 Lower activity on the BNB Chain • The Total Value Locked (TVL) fell by approximately 12 % between June and July, dropping from $108.8 billion to $96.8 billion in just one month  . • The volume in decentralized applications (DApps) dropped by nearly 25 % in seven days, and the volume of NFTs fell by 42 %  . • The number of unique active wallets also decreased by around 18 %, reflecting lower usage and interest .
2. 📉 Loss of market share for the Binance exchange
🚀 Why does BNB dominate within the Binance ecosystem? 1. Native and utility token of the largest exchange in the world BNB is the native currency of Binance, the leading platform in volume, users, and trading pairs  . Its function goes beyond being simply a token: it is used to pay fees with discounts, participate in Launchpad, NFTs, staking, DeFi, and more . 2. Market capitalization among the largest in the crypto space It consistently ranks between #5 or #6 according to different platforms, with a capitalization exceeding 100–110 billion dollars    . 3. Deflationary model with token burn Binance periodically burns BNB, reducing the circulating supply and generating long-term upward pressure . 4. Solid base of demand and adoption The constant use of the token in multiple services within the Binance ecosystem, along with a daily volume of billions, demonstrates great utility and strong demand . 5. Discreet but grounded growth BNB has reached new all-time highs without the noise of more media-driven tokens. Its appreciation is driven by real fundamentals rather than viral speculation
1. "Pump and dump" strategy and whale sales • After its launch in January 2025, the token surprisingly reached a peak value of over USD 75, with a total valuation in the billions of dollars . • However, the most profitable insiders sold quickly: the main holders made millions in profits and unwound their positions, causing a sharp price drop    . • Indeed, the project was labeled by critics as a typical pump-and-dump, where retail investors were left exposed in the end .
2. Unmet political expectations • The rise was associated with the expectation that Trump would sign pro-crypto policies from power — from Bitcoin reserves to regulatory relief. However, his inaugural speech left out any concrete mention of that topic . • This phenomenon generated a "sell the news" effect or selling upon learning the reality: the crypto fell just after the inauguration due to a lack of sudden concrete actions .
3. Macroeconomic and tariff context • The announcement of new trade tariffs on countries such as Canada, Mexico, and China generated global economic uncertainty. This increased fear in the markets, leading to sales v

📈 Evolution of Bitcoin: from origins to new records
1. Continuous growth and current value
Today in July 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $118,000 USD per unit, with slight fluctuations in the last 24 hours   . This month, it has already risen about 10%, and has accumulated approximately 27% profit since the beginning of the year   .
2. Historical cycles and market patterns
Since its creation in 2009, the price of Bitcoin has experienced parabolic rises during each halving cycle, followed by sharp corrections. For example, it went from a few cents to $69,000 in 2021  . In recent cycles, the increase from market lows to highs has been between 5 to 6 times, and it is projected that this cycle could culminate with prices close to $150,000–243,000 USD depending on the model used  .
3. Institutional and technological momentum
Institutional adoption has skyrocketed in 2025: Bitcoin ETFs have attracted billions in capital, the Lightning network is growing rapidly, and large companies are integrating blockchain-based solutions into their operations   . Even after a giant $9 billion sale by Galaxy Digital, the market absorbed the movement without significant impact, indicating growing maturity .
4. What is driving this new phase? • Rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. • The launch of ETFs backed by major entities like BlackRock and Fidelity. • Expectation of clearer regulations in the U.S., which strengthen institutional confidence     .
5. Risks and volatility to consider
Although the trend is upward, Bitcoin remains very volatile. Corrections of 20–30% are common even in optimistic markets, and it may face pullbacks before reaching new highs  . Additionally, part of its growth is tied more to expectations and speculation than to solid fundamentals.
