As Bitcoin reaches a new record at approximately $123,000, driven by significant institutional flows through spot ETFs and a regulatory turning point in the United States, the debate #SpotVSFuturesStrategy is more relevant than ever. Spot strategies focus on gradual accumulation and a long-term vision, benefiting from the continuous rise in prices. In parallel, futures strategies exploit the current volatility — short liquidations, weekend liquidity — to maximize gains. With fluctuating spot-futures spreads and strong ETH ETFs, diversifying between these two approaches allows for combining yield and protection in case of corrections.
#MemecoinSentiment After the recent correction of Bitcoin below $121,000, many traders are once again turning to memecoins like Shiba Inu, PEPE, and Floki for quick speculative gains. This trend is explained by the community excitement on X and Telegram, where announcements of listings and rumors of massive burns reignite optimism. However, some analysts warn against an excess of euphoria, as the majority of these tokens lack solid fundamentals. Their price primarily depends on collective sentiments and the FOMO effect generated by crypto influencers. Thus, the movement remains extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the global market and the decisions of whales that control large volumes. Caution and risk management remain essential in this phase where greed often exceeds rationality.
Bitcoin reached a historical record of over €122,000 during Asian trading this Monday, driven by optimism regarding increasing institutional adoption and the approach of the highly anticipated "Crypto Week" in Washington, which begins later today.
The world's largest cryptocurrency was trading up 2.6% at €121,560.0 at 3:26 PM. It briefly reached a historical record of €122,562.4.
Bitcoin has risen about 30% since the beginning of the year, slightly surpassing gold's gain of about 27% over the same period.
Bitcoin surpasses €121,000 thanks to institutional support.
The latest gains in Bitcoin came after the Japanese hotelier turned Bitcoin treasurer, Metaplanet Inc (TYO:3350), announced it had acquired 797 additional Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 16,352 coins. The company is the fifth largest institutional holder of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin surged last week, fueled by strong inflows into ETFs and increasing hopes for more favorable crypto regulation in the United States.
"After the records set on May 23, Bitcoin maintained a slightly bearish trajectory. However, last week's price movement suggests that the correction phase is over," analysts at IG stated in a note.
"Momentum indicators are improving as July trading volume is on track to recover or exceed May levels after a moderate June," they added.
Crypto-related stocks echoed Bitcoin's rise, with publicly listed miners in the U.S. and ETF-related stocks like Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT), Mara Holdings, and Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) posting notable gains last week.
On Monday, the founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, announced that his company purchased an additional 4,225 BTC to add to its reserves.
Strategy, the company specializing in bitcoin and business intelligence (BI), acquired 4,225 BTC, according to a post on X by the company’s founder, Michael Saylor. The news follows the subtle hint he gave on Sunday, which showed Strategy's tracker with an additional orange dot. Saylor stated that Strategy acquired 4,225 BTC for approximately $472.5 million, spending about $111,827 per coin—and has achieved a bitcoin yield of 20.2% so far in 2025.
As of yesterday, July 13, 2025, the company holds a total of 601,550 BTC, acquired for approximately $42.87 billion at an average price of $71,268 per bitcoin. At the time of press, BTC is trading at $121,777 per unit at 8 AM Eastern Time on Monday.

YZi Labs has partnered with 10X Capital to support the creation of BNB Treasury in the United States.
The new BNB Treasury company aims for a listing in the United States with the support of crypto veterans. YZi Labs, a global investment firm with a $10 billion portfolio in web3, AI, and biotechnology, announced its support for 10X Capital's latest initiative: the launch of BNB Treasury. This new U.S.-based venture will focus on accumulating BNB assets and supporting the ecosystem, with plans for a public listing on a major U.S. exchange.
The BNB Treasury company is designed to provide institutional and retail investors with direct exposure to BNB (Binance Coin) through a transparent and professionally managed treasury platform.
“BNB Chain is one of the most widely adopted blockchain ecosystems. BNB is the fuel, the glue, and the governance layer for a decentralized and scalable future. By supporting this initiative, we aim to combine the strengths of the BNB ecosystem with 10X Capital's expertise in institutional asset management and capital markets,” said Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs.
This move reflects the growing momentum behind publicly listed digital asset treasury companies, as institutional investors seek diversified exposure to blockchain ecosystems like the BNB Chain.

Brief summary of news and points to watch regarding Ethereum:
Ethereum ETF: Inflows of ~500 million USD on July 10, with an acceleration since the launch of spot ETFs in 2024.
Pectra Update: Scheduled for Q3 2025, aiming to reduce fees and improve scalability.
Institutional adoption: BlackRock and Fidelity are increasing their positions via ETFs. Companies like ConsenSys are developing enterprise solutions on Ethereum.
Sentiment on X: Bullish posts (@Ethereum, @VitalikButerin) highlight the DeFi/NFT dominance and the impact of ETFs, with a target of 5,000 USD by mid-July.
Risks: Competition from Solana/BNB Chain for DeFi/NFT. 3% drop on July 12 after tariff announcement by Trump. $High fees compared to Solana, although Pectra could mitigate this issue.
As the number 2 cryptocurrency, ETH is attractive for its ecosystem and adoption but competition and high fees require careful management. Its correlation with Bitcoin (~0.8) makes it a good complement in a crypto portfolio.
So I was wondering: are you more team BTC or ETH?
Looking forward to seeing your reactions and max likes 👍
