Hines revealed that he has received over 50 job offers, with five serious considerations all within the cryptocurrency sector, and currently has no plans to return to politics. During his tenure at the White House, Hines contributed to several achievements, including the signing of a stablecoin bill and various blockchain-related executive orders. He acknowledged that his work remains incomplete, as Congress continues to debate comprehensive legislation aimed at establishing further regulatory guidelines for the cryptocurrency market. Hines refrained from commenting on the likelihood of the bill's passage but expressed confidence that "they will get it done." Patrick Witt, who served as Hines' deputy at the White House, is now stepping into his role. #CPIWatch
AI Summary According to Cointelegraph, Ether (ETH) has recently achieved a multi-year high of $4,792 following a significant 45% increase from its August 3 low of $3,354. The cryptocurrency is currently consolidating below its all-time high of $4,867, having validated a classic bullish continuation pattern known as a bull flag. This pattern suggests the possibility of a 34% price increase, potentially reaching $6,100 in the coming days. The bull flag pattern, which emerged after ETH rallied over 126% between June 22 and August 14, indicates a continuation of the upward trend following a period of consolidation. The recent rally saw Ether breach the resistance at $3,770, confirming a bullish breakout. While the bull flag hints at a target of $6,000, the success rate of such patterns is approximately 54%, making them relatively unreliable. Nonetheless, bullish sentiment remains strong, with traders focusing on pushing ETH above the key resistance level of $4,700, which could lead to further gains. In addition to technical indicators, the percentage of ETH supply held on exchanges has dropped to a nine-year low of 12.36%, according to Glassnode data. This decrease in exchange-held supply suggests a potential "supply shock," where strong buyer demand meets a diminishing availability of ETH. Popular trader Merlijn The Trader noted that only 18.5 million Ethereum remain on exchanges, attributing this to aggressive buying by ETF issuers and Ethereum treasury companies. The combination of reduced exchange supply and over 35.7 million ETH staked, representing 30% of the total supply, indicates strong holder conviction and reduced sell-side pressure. While some analysts have made ambitious projections for ETH's price, citing increasing institutional demand through spot Ethereum ETFs and treasury companies, it is crucial for investors to conduct their own research and consider the inherent risks involved in trading cryptocurrencies. This article does not provide investment advice or recommendations, and readers should be aware of the potential volatility and risks associated with cryptocurrency investments. #DeFiGetsGraded

SharpLink Gaming Reports Significant Q2 Loss Amid Ether Treasury Challenges
AI Summary According to Cointelegraph, SharpLink Gaming, a prominent online gaming company, has reported a substantial net loss of $103 million for the second quarter of 2025. This loss is primarily attributed to a paper loss stemming from the accounting treatment of liquid staked Ether (LsETH). The figure represents a dramatic decline from the $500,000 loss recorded in the same period of 2024, marking a year-over-year change of -25,980%. The announcement highlights the challenges faced by companies holding significant cryptocurrency assets under current accounting standards. SharpLink currently possesses 728,804 Ether (ETH), valued at approximately $3.5 billion at the time of reporting. BitMine Immersion Technologies is the only publicly traded company with a larger Ether treasury, holding over 1.15 million ETH worth around $5.1 billion. Of SharpLink's Q2 loss, $87.8 million, or 85%, is linked to the company's LsETH holdings. A representative from SharpLink clarified that the impairment reflects accounting rules rather than an actual sale or loss of ETH. Under U.S. GAAP, LsETH is treated as a digital intangible asset, recorded at cost and subject to impairment. During Q2, the lowest market price of LsETH was $2,300, triggering the $87.8 million non-cash impairment. The financial impact has affected SharpLink's stock performance, with shares trending downward following the news. As reported by Google Finance, the company's share price has decreased by 12.58% on the Nasdaq. Despite the challenges, SharpLink posted revenue of $700,000 for Q2 2025. The broader market outlook for Ether remains optimistic, with predictions suggesting potential growth. Standard Chartered forecasts ETH could reach $7,500 by the end of 2025, while Fundstrat anticipates a more ambitious target of $15,000 by year-end. Vivek Raman from Etherealize suggests that competition among Ether treasury companies could stimulate further activity on decentralized finance networks, potentially leading to an institutional-scale DeFi summer 2.0. Ether's value has been on an upward trajectory since the ecosystem's May Pectra upgrade. On the day of the upgrade, ETH was priced at approximately $1,811. At the time of writing, ETH's price stands at $4,382, reflecting a significant increase of 142% over the period. The developments underscore the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market and the potential for substantial fluctuations in asset#HotJulyPPI
U.S. Justice Department Seizes $2.8 Million in Cryptocurrency Amid Ransomware Case
U.S. Justice Department Seizes $2.8 Million in Cryptocurrency Amid Ransomware Case AI Summary According to Cointelegraph, the United States Justice Department has authorized the seizure of over $2.8 million in cryptocurrency, alongside cash and other assets, as part of a criminal investigation into an alleged ransomware operator. The department announced on Thursday that it had unsealed six warrants permitting the confiscation of $2.8 million in cryptocurrency from a wallet managed by Ianis Aleksandrovich Antropenko. Additionally, $70,000 in cash and a luxury vehicle were seized. Antropenko faces charges of conspiring to commit computer fraud and abuse, computer fraud and abuse, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The unsealed warrants allege that the seized cryptocurrency and other assets are proceeds from ransomware activities or were involved in laundering such proceeds. The Justice Department highlighted that these assets were laundered through various methods, including the use of the cryptocurrency mixing service ChipMixer, which was dismantled in a coordinated international operation in 2023. Antropenko reportedly laundered cryptocurrency by converting it to cash and making structured cash deposits. This seizure represents the latest action by the U.S. government involving cryptocurrency, potentially contributing to its national stockpile established by an executive order from U.S. President Donald Trump in March. Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced the seizure of approximately $1 million in cryptocurrency from the ransomware group BlackSuit. Federal officials are also pursuing claims to $2.4 million in Bitcoin seized by the Dallas FBI in April. The U.S. government's holdings of Bitcoin have been a topic of discussion, particularly after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the government would not be purchasing Bitcoin as part of its crypto stockpile strategy. This announcement came shortly before Bitcoin's price dropped below $119,000. Bessent later clarified on social media that the department would explore budget-neutral methods to acquire Bitcoin. As of Thursday, the U.S. government's Bitcoin stockpile, comprising assets seized in criminal cases after victim compensation, totaled approximately $20 billion. With Bitcoin priced at $117,387 at the time of publication, estimates suggest a U.S. stockpile of 198,012 BTC, valued at over $23 billion. #MarketTurbulence
*A fictional yet shocking letter from Trump to Sheikh Mustafa al-Adawi.*
*In response to the call of Islam, the inactivity of the ummah, the slavery of the rulers, and the silence of the scholars reflected in a poignant mirror.* *If Islam were truly implemented, we would be the first to be Muslims!*
From the great American, Trump, to Sheikh Mustafa al-Adawi
I received your video message in which you invited me to Islam. This message was in the same style as your Prophet Muhammad invited the great rulers of the world:
It is said that a musician named Bashira left his village and musician family to come to the city. He had always done the same work since birth. So, in the city too, he roamed around with a drum around his neck, wearing colorful clothes, shaking his long hair in a dance-like manner, and playing the drum incessantly. As everyone has their day, one day a music director hired him at his studio. From there, Bashira progressed to become the first assistant director and then gained fame as music director 'Ustad Bashir Khan' by establishing his own studio.

Liquid Capital Founder Discusses Bull Market Strategies AI Summary According to BlockBeats, Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua shared insights on the X platform regarding investment strategies during a bull market. He emphasized that each market pullback presents an opportunity to increase holdings without the fear of being trapped. However, he cautioned against using high leverage, as market rises are not linear. Yi suggested that if Bitcoin were to rise to $150,000, then pull back to $110,000 before climbing above $180,000, it would be a normal upward trend. He warned that high-leverage investors could become vulnerable during such fluctuations and advised focusing on generating off-market income instead. #REVABinanceTGE
