Standard Chartered expecting a new record in Bitcoin: “There are now two new forces”
Standard Chartered, one of the giant banks serving worldwide, has published a new report on Bitcoin. The bank’s director of digital assets, Geoff Kendrick, stated that they expect the expected decline in Bitcoin in the post-halving period to be much weaker. Kendrick said, “There are now two new forces holding Bitcoin’s price up.”
Standard Chartered, a global giant bank with a very serious customer base, especially in the Asian region, has published a new Bitcoin analysis. The report prepared under the leadership of Geoff Kendrick stated that the previous estimate of $200,000 for Bitcoin for the end of the year was supported.
The report shared under the signature of Kendrick stated that the increases are expected to continue in the 3rd quarter of 2025. It was stated that Bitcoin could reach $135,000 this quarter, while it was commented that institutional purchases were keeping the price up.
Stating that the Bitcoin halving cycle is no longer there, analyst Kendrick made the following statements:
“We expect prices to continue their upward trend. Bitcoin purchases by companies and ETFs are keeping the price up. These two factors were not present in past cycles. These two new forces are keeping the price strong. There may be a downward movement at the end of the 3rd quarter and the beginning of the 4th quarter, but this decline will not be as strong as in previous halving cycles. In old halvings, a sharp decline would occur 18 months after the halving. This decline or volatility can still be seen during that period. But ETF and corporate purchases will keep the price up. Bitcoin purchases in the 3rd and 4th quarters may also surpass the 245 corporate purchases seen in the first half of the year.”

This bull market has been too oppressive for us (declining red envelope) In the second half of 2025, everyone better make a lot of money for me!! $BTC #Binance Alpha New Listing
Recently, the waves have mainly been built around the Eth2400 line, primarily focused on Ai. By the way, I also took a shot at $BSW and $LEVER , after all, with the removal of this, the downside risk is still significant.

🗯️Trump and Musk Clash Over the Big and Beautiful Act
- Market Overview and Policy Conflict - The U.S. Senate narrowly passed Trump-led "Big and Beautiful Act" with a vote of 51:50
What is the Big and Beautiful Act? The formal name of the "Big and Beautiful Act" is the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a massive tax and spending bill strongly pushed by U.S. President Trump.
Core provisions include $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, elimination of new energy subsidies, and raising the debt ceiling to $5 trillion. Musk described the bill as crazy spending and strongly opposed the widening fiscal deficit. Trump responded by threatening to reevaluate Musk's immigration status and federal contracts.
- Market Impact and Trading Opportunities - Adjustments to the debt ceiling may trigger changes in dollar liquidity, focus on the correlation between cryptocurrencies and precious metals. The elimination of new energy subsidies directly affects the stock prices of car companies like Tesla, presenting volatility trading opportunities. Increased defense spending benefits the military-industrial chain, including companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Musk mentioned that forming a new political party could reshape the valuation logic of tech stocks.
- Investment Risk Warning - The bill still needs approval from the House of Representatives, and policy uncertainty remains high. The confrontation between tech giants and political representatives may extend to other areas, and debt growth could bring long-term inflationary pressure. It is recommended to pay attention to the further evolution of the game between the two sides and changes in market sentiment.
Solana (SOL) entered July 2025 trading within the $145–$150 range. Market volatility has increased recently, especially with the launch of the first U.S.-based SOL staking ETF on July 2. While SOL climbed to $155 prior to the announcement, a typical "sell the news" reaction caused the price to drop by 8% to around $145. From a technical perspective, SOL's 50-day moving average stands at $151, and the 100-day average at $154—both acting as significant resistance levels.
A symmetrical triangle pattern suggests that if SOL breaks through the $150–$153 zone, bullish momentum could follow. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 50, indicating a neutral market stance and uncertainty in price direction. On the fundamental side, institutional interest in Solana is growing. Analysts from Bitget suggest a potential long-term target of $300 if positive sentiment continues. In the short term, $158–$175 price levels are being discussed by multiple forecast models.
However, global macroeconomic uncertainty and potential crypto regulation news may put downward pressure on the price. If SOL fails to hold above $150, a decline toward the $140 level remains possible.
In summary, while SOL shows strong technical support, further price direction will depend on volume and clarity in market news. The coming weeks may be pivotal in determining whether Solana breaks upward or consolidates further within its current range. #REX-OSPREYSolanaETF #TrumpVsMusk $SOL #Binance

$BTC • The bitcoin BTC $106,769.17 premium on the global derivatives behemoth Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)-listed futures has narrowed tightly, a reflection of diminished institutional demand. • The three-month rolling annualized premium has fallen to 4.3%, the lowest since October 2023, based on data monitored by 10x Research. That's well off highs above 10% hit earlier in the year. • The drop in so-called basis, even as BTC's price remained constant above $100,000, shows waning optimism or doubts regarding potential price prospects. • The decline is in line with the fall in the funding rates on perpetual futures quoted on leading offshore exchanges. As 10x points out, funding rates recently turned negative, an indication of a discount in perpetual futures against the spot price and a further indicator of bearish short position bias. • The shrinking price gap is a hurdle for would-be pursuers of the non-directional cash-and-carry arbitrage, wherein one buys spot ETFs (or in effect, BTC) and sells short the CME futures simultaneously.
• "When spreads on yield fall below a hurdle rate of 10%, Bitcoin ETF inflows are more likely to come from directional investors than arbitrage-hedged funds. This is often accompanied by price consolidation. Such spreads now stand at 1.0% (perpetual futures funding rate) and 4.3% (CME basis rate), pointing to a steep drop in hedge fund arbitrage," Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, explained to CoinDesk. • Thielen further stated the drop-off aligns with subdued retail participation, as evidenced by suppressed perpetual funding rates and low spot market volumes. • Padalan Capital also expressed the same view in a weekly note, referring to the reduction in funding rates as an indication of retrenchment in speculative interest. • "A more intense risk-off signal is provided by regulated platforms, where the CME-to-spot basis for both Ethereum and Bitcoin has inverted into deeply negative territory, reflecting aggressive institutional hedging or a massive unwind of cash-and-carry arrangements," Padalan Capital explained.
