The sudden transfer of Bitcoin has sparked debate in the wider market that since Bitcoin has crossed the mark of $115,000, the long dormant Bitcoin whales seem to be booking profit when its price is approaching sky high.
Wallet ‘1NuqAKe…………qd3,’ ‘12EWRT……….phT,’ ‘1497JA…………KIUV,’ ‘1A1z7a………..wmwk,’ and ‘13gi…………….3oEyn,’ are the five wallets that have moved out Bitcoin valued roughly $30 million.
The Bitcoins were held at the time when it was priced below $1 per BTC, somewhat near to $0.05 per coin, and were moved when Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $118,287 and had a market capitalization of $2.35 trillion, making it one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies in the market.
Bitcoin whales are cashing out profits at BTC’s peak
Earlier on July 23, 2025, Todayq reported that three Bitcoin whales transferred 10,606 BTC out after 3.5 years of dormancy; the wallets reportedly received these Bitcoins when they were priced at $18,807 in December 2020.
With the surge in whale movement, Bitcoin liquidation has also reached a peak, and since the last few sessions, it seems to be stuck in the range below $120k. On July 29, 2025, Lookonchain wrote in an X post that a newly created wallet withdrew 3,500 BTC from Gemini in the past 4 days.
However, over the week, it has been reported that Galaxy Digital has moved Bitcoin worth billions of dollars. On July 29, 2025, it was once again reported that Galaxy moved 3,782 BTCs, most of which went to crypto exchanges, probably for an OTC deal.
Also crucial to note that Galaxy announced on July 25, 2025, that it has completed the sale of 80,000 Bitcoins for Satoshi era investors. As per an X post from Satoshi Talks, a 14.5-year-old Bitcoin whale moved 50 Bitcoin for the first time, the transaction was done to ‘bc1q8…kxayr,’ with no known owner linked to the address so far.

Fundamental Global Inc. announced its strategy for Ether on Ethereum’s 10th anniversary, intending to capitalize on ETH price appreciation, staking rewards, and exposure to tokenized real-world assets.
Ethereum attracting more investors than Bitcoin
Bitcoin has been one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies in the market. Over time, the wave of institutional adoption has been primarily fueled by BTC, and now with companies over hundreds of institutions rushing to form their crypto treasury, which includes Ethereum as one of the mandatory assets.
Other than Fundamental Global Inc., there are several other companies that have already entered the race to boost their Ethereum holdings, and the list has been topped by Bitmine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming Inc.

Visa Settles $200M in Stablecoins, Ceo Ryan McInerney Reacts
Visa, one of the most prominent card payment organizations, has recently reported that it has crossed the milestone of $200 million in cumulative stablecoins settlement volume, highlighting its broadening integration of blockchain-based digital assets into payment infrastructure.
Despite this achievement in stablecoins, the Chief Executive Officer of Visa, Ryan McInerney, said this small fraction of the company’s overall settlement volume.
In simple words, stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency or blockchain-based product designed to maintain stability. There are several types of stablecoins, but fiat-pegged stablecoin are one of the most popular.
Ryan further emphasized that stablecoins are still an emerging technology and require more regulatory clarity to meet their full potential. Visa’s leadership stressed the importance of a clear set of rules and regulations. Likewise, the U.S GENIUS Act was passed recently, which mandates 1:1 reserve backing for stablecoins.
In 2024, the stablecoins processed $27.6 trillion in transaction volume last year, which is bigger than the combined of Visa and MasterCard, indicating the skyrocketing demand and relevance of stablecoins.
Visa is expanding its dominance in stablecoins
The massive $200 million volume in stablecoins demonstrates Visa’s efforts to incorporate blockchain technology, particularly through its Visa Tokenized Assets Platform (VTAP), which opens a path for banks to mint and manage fiat-pegged stablecoins.
Visa has also invested in a stablecoin infrastructure provider, such as BVNK, which processes $12 billion in stablecoin transactions annually and partnered with Yellow Card Financial to expand stablecoin payments in Africa by 2026.
Stablecoins are increasingly central to decentralized finance trading and institutional settlement, with 90% of crypto trades involving stablecoins. Despite growth concerns about stablecoin reserve transparency and vulnerability to cyber threats or market shocks, persist.
How big is the stablecoin market now?
According to the data from CoinMarketCap, the stablecoin is worth $274.134 billion with an increase of 8% in the past 60 days. Yet in terms of market cap, Tether is the topper with $163 billion, followed by USDC with a cap of $63 billion.
However, in terms of volume, USDT stands at the top, followed by DAI with 22.56 billion volume DAI and USDC’s intraday volume is 13.05 billion.
In terms of price, Quorium is one of the most costly stablecoins, trading at $3,330.18, followed by Amnis Coin priced at $4.44, Reflexer Ungovernance token trading at $2.92, and Edelcoin is trading at $2.85.
Over the last few quarters, the usage of stablecoins has reached a peak never before, and as per experts, in the near future, stablecoins are eyeing a spot of over $1 trillion in market capitalization.

AML Bitcoin Founder Gets 7 Years for Multi-Million Fraud
Ever since Bitcoin entered the market and has astonished everyone with its working mechanism and use case, however, with BTC’s success, bad actors have consistently tried to mimic it in terms of name to defraud digital currency enthusiasts.
A similar case was reported in 2017 when a crypto project named AML Bitcoin was launched in the market and raised around $5.6 million in an ICO offering.
In its initial days, AML Bitcoin was promoted as the superior version of Bitcoin, which is now one of the most prominent and valuable cryptocurrencies in the market.
The United States Department of Justice said in its press release dated July 29, 2025, that Rowland Marcus Andrade, the Chief Executive Officer and founder of AML Bitcoin, has been jailed for 84 months in federal prison over wire fraud and money laundering.
It is worth noting that in March this year, Rowland Marcus was found guilty of wire fraud and money laundering in connection with the fraudulent marketing and sale of AML Bitcoin.
AML Bitcoin founder looted millions by false claims
As per the documents and evidence filed in the court, AML Bitcoin founder Rowland made false promises to the public and potential purchasers, also falsely claimed that AML Bitcoin is quite close to getting approval from the Panama Canal Authority, for the ships passing through the Panama Canal.
Yet it is worth noting that no such agreement or deal exists; documents note he looted investors out of approximately $10 million, from which a sum of $2 million was moved to maintain personal luxury, including buying two properties in Texas and two luxury automobiles.
The document also states that the founder of AML Bitcoin used dozens of bank accounts to launder the looted money, and to further divert it to new sources or to use to buy properties and luxury cars.
AML Bitcoin’s founder, Rowland, made false promises of innovation, but delivered nothing more than deception; he looted investors and innocent people by making them feel like they were investing in the future of digital currencies.
Several authorities and officials aware of the case said that Rowland didn’t have the intention to benefit people; instead, he and his helpers were busy looting funds from common investors to maintain a lavish lifestyle.

According to data from Bloomberg, TMTG holds significant investment in Bitcoin, totalling approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities as a part of its strategy to become a “ crypto treasury company.” This represents about two-thirds of TMTG’s $3 billion in liquid assets.
Also important to note that TMTG has allocated $300 million to an options acquisition strategy for Bitcoin-related securities, with the plan to continue to buy Bitcoin based on market conditions.
No wrongdoing, just strategy, White House defends Trump
The Chief Executive Officer of TMTG, Devin Nunes, said the investment intends to ensure ‘ financial freedom’ and protect against discrimination by financial institutions, while also backing the integration of a utility token and subscription payment on Truth Social.
TMTG has also filed to launch Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including a ‘ crypto blue chip’ fund holding Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and other crypto in alliance with Crypto(dot)com and Anchorage Digital.
However, despite Trump’s and the White House’s clarification and denial over his direct involvement or exercising power for personal gains, Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticised his crypto involvement, calling it a ‘ massive conflict of interest’ and a ‘ crypto cash machine’ for Trump and his family.
Warren also argued that Donald’s financial stakes in crypto ventures in World Liberty Finance and $Trump memecoin could influence his administration’s deregulatory agenda, potentially affecting common users and traders and promoting activities such as money laundering.
Senator Jeff Merkley calls Trump’s involvement ‘a massive form of corruption we haven’t witnessed,’ underlining the potential for foreign actors to buy influence through investment in Trump’s crypto ventures.
Also, Representative Maxine Waters has co-signed a letter with Warren, which questions the SEC to halt enforcement action against Justin Sun, a known personality in the crypto space. She emphasised the need for stronger regulatory oversight to safeguard investors from fraud in Trump-linked crypto projects and ventures.
On the other hand, Mark Hays, the associate director of Americans for Financial Reform, argues that Trump’s crypto ventures ‘ crypto investors have already lost millions betting on the Trump memecoin, but Trump and World Liberty Finance have made millions in fees.

SharpLink Buys More ETH, Ethereum Price Nears $4,000
After trading as low as $2,378 in the monthly time frame, Ethereum has managed to surpass the long-anticipated mark of $3,600, and after a surge of more than 60% it is now trading just below the mark of $4,000.
However, the bullish momentum in the prices of Ethereum is attributed to the growing interest of institutions and the clarity over digital assets and cryptocurrencies globally.
According to the data from CoinMarketCap, over the past 24 hours, Ethereum prices are up by 3.05%, have grown 2.99% in the past 7 days, and have risen 60.56% in a month.

Yet the Ethereum volume has shown a moderate and steady trading activity with occasional spikes during the bullish momentum. The brief correction in the volume during price correction hints at a profit booking or short-term selling. The volume trend supports the ongoing bullish structure, but the sustained momentum will require a fresh rise in the buying volume to push Ether above the mark of $3,900.
Since the last couple of trading sessions, Ethereum market capitalization has maintained the upwards trajectory, rising from $420 billion to $470 billion, solely supported by the higher highs and consistent support near the moving average.

Argentina Flags Crypto Use Linked to Terror Group HTS
Over time, Argentina has tracked several terror funding activities. It is said that the Financial Information Unit of Argentina has flagged the use of the nation’s crypto exchanges, believed to be linked to Hay’et Tahir Al-Sham, a terrorist group having ties with Al Qaeda.
UIF of Argentina found during the investigation that two individuals, a Russian citizen living in Argentina and one other foreign national identified by the United States Treasury Department and the Israeli National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, could be collaborating with this infamous group.
According to the available information, Hay’ et Tahir al-Sham is linked to terrorism through its origin, activities, and international designation. Despite its public distancing from al-Qaeda in 2016, HTS retains an extremist agenda seeking to impose an Islamic state through violence and terror.
Hay’ et Tahir al-Sham is a labelled terrorist group by the United States, United Nations, and European Union due to its militant operations and human rights abuses, including the unlawful holding of journalists and others.
Argentina’s UIF acted upon the tip from sources
It is worth noting that the agencies clarified that there was no clear indication of the funds to be used to fund terror activities inside Argentina’s territory, yet the move came to tackle any risk of international terror financing.
Regional sources aware of the action said that, “ As a 1st step, it was decided to freeze all wallets and fund movements that he had made or attempted to make, and from now on other measures will be intensified with the intervention of the justice system.”
It is noteworthy that the frozen wallets were reportedly used to funnel funds through crypto transactions, including ransomware payments and dark web activities.
The UIF of Argentina has flagged these as a part of HTS’s global fundraising network, often using cryptocurrencies to maintain anonymity to back terrorist operations.
Usage of crypto by terrorist organizations & illicit groups is growing
Over time, the use of crypto and digital assets has grown among notorious terrorist organizations, dark web operators, and other malicious actors. The surge is driven by the features of anonymity, decentralization, and the ability to facilitate cross-border transactions.
Unlike fiat currency or national currency, crypto operates with a central entity, allowing groups to bypass regulated financial systems and sanctions.
After the popularity of digital assets, the hassle of cross-border payments has now become easier, opening wider paths for terrorist groups to gather funds for their terror and crime from different regions of the world.

BNB Bulls Return: Will Binance Coin Cross $1000 in 2025?
The name Binance is not new to the cryptocurrency sector. As per archives, Binance was launched in July 2017, and with each passing day, it continued to improve its image. When writing, it stands as one of the most prominent crypto exchanges in the market. In the same year, the BNB coin was also launched for users to pay fees on the company’s platform. However, a few years after its debut, it became the third most prominent crypto in terms of market cap, yet currently, it ranks fifth in market capitalization.
However, the Binance platform, along with the BNB token, has gathered massive traction from digital asset enthusiasts and those seeking better opportunities in the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry. In today’s informative piece, we will dive deep to understand the fundamental as well as technical aspects driving BNB coin price to a new mark — and what milestone it is expected to reach by the end of 2025.
Primary fundamental catalyst pulling BNB coin prices to the sky
Binance Smart Chain has undergone significant changes, and most recently, it has completed the ‘Maxwell upgrade’ that doubled transaction throughput and has slashed the block time to 0.75 seconds, backed by the improvement of network efficiency. Other upgrades, such as Pascal and Lorentz, have further strengthened the Binance chain, making it one of the fastest networks for decentralized finance.
As per the information, the Zero Fee Carnival by BNB chain has been extended until July 31, 2025. This initiative has pushed the usage and activities on the Binance network to new highs. Most recently, it has been reported that BNB has successfully completed its 32nd quarterly token burn, eliminating 1.59 million Binance coins from circulation.
Over the past few months, a few publicly listed and privately listed companies have shown their intention to buy BNB coins, and a few of them have already allocated millions to boost their investment in Binance tokens.
On July 24, 2025, Windtree Therapeutics, a company listed on Nasdaq, announced its plan to invest $520 million via a $500 million equity line of credit and $20 million stock purchase agreement with Build and Build Corp.
Yet on July 22 this year, it was announced that Windtree joined hands with Kraken to manage its Binance-focused treasury. In this alliance, the exchange will offer custody trading and over-the-counter services to guarantee the secure management of the liquidity of Windtree’s BNB holdings.
China-based and Nasdaq-listed Nano Labs, a chipmaker, has also intended to acquire BNB coin as its primary treasury reserve. The company aims to hold 10% of the circulating supply of the Binance coin. In a press release, Nano Labs underlined that it aims to buy $1 billion worth of Binance coins, making it one of the most prominent holders of BNB.
Initially, Nano Labs bought 74,315 BNBs for roughly $50 million at an average price of $672.45 per token. On July 22, 2025, the company bought 45,684.9862 BNB tokens for $34.8 million at an average price of $764 per BNB coin.
BNB’s technicals indicate more highs in the coming session
Binance coin looks bullish on multiple timeframes and is currently rising within a bullish flag pattern (1 day) and looking to achieve a target of $950, followed by $1060 in the near term. As soon as it clears the $810 resistance mark, the next leg of the bullish wave could start.

BNB’s weekly RSI is at 68, which means there is enough room for a future upwards rally, and the EMAs heading north mean a clear upwards trend. Apart from price action, its funding rate remained positive till the start of this month, and rising volume participation is noted, which denotes a strong user’s interest. However, the liquidation activity remained muted throughout the last week, and the long-to-short ratio was above 1.
According to the data from TradingView, the Binance token price grew more than 7.20% in the past 7 trading sessions and has added 22% to its price in a month, reaching $783.3. Yet in a quarter, its price rallied 17.49% and added 37.15% in the past 52 weeks.
Binance coin market cap is now at $109 billion, the market cap surged more than 7.14% and has grown around 20% in 30 days. On the other hand, BNB is dominating 2.89% of the wider market; in a week, its dominance surged by more than 6.79%, yet the dominance is down by 21.03%.

Vietnam’s NDAChain to Power Data Security & Digital Growth
Vietnam, officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, has launched a national blockchain initiative, ‘NDAChain’, to bolster its digital ecosystem. The NDAChain was unveiled on July 25, 2025, and is being developed by the National Data Association (NDA) and will be operated by the Ministry of Public Security’s Data Innovation and Exploitation Centre.
NDAChain is a government-backed blockchain platform designed to safeguard citizens’ data and to modernize digital services all across Vietnam.
Following this development, the Head of Technology at National Data Association, Mr. Nguyen Huy, said, “ Vietnam has chosen a hybrid data architecture that blends centralized and decentralized components. NDAChain acts as a protective layer for the nation’s live data, critical to our digital society and economy.”
The move to launch its in-house blockchain has helped Vietnam to join the list of dozens of nations actively working on the transition from centralized to decentralized technology.
What exactly is NDAChain, and how will it work?
According to the official press release, NDAChain is a permissioned layer-1 blockchain featuring a consortium of 49 public-private validator nodes operated by state agencies and major enterprises, including the National Data Center, SunGroup, Zalo, and VNVC.
In simple words, a permissioned layer 1 blockchain is a type of foundational blockchain network where access and participation are restricted to authorized entities, unlike permissionless blockchains, which are open to anyone for participation. Permissioned chains control who can join the network, validate transactions, or access data.
The NDAChain platform operates on a Proof-of-Authority consensus protocol, enhanced with Zero-Knowledge Proofs for security, and is capable of processing approximately 3,600 transactions per second with low latency and high scalability.
Yet it is worth noting that by the end of 2025, the NDAChain will be fully integrated into NDC and will gradually expand to local government and universities by 2026.
A quick overview of how big the crypto market in Vietnam
The cryptocurrency market of Vietnam is growing rapidly, pushed by several factors, including higher adoption and fast-paced digitalization in the nation.
As per an estimate, the market in 2023 was valued between $76 million and $150 million, and the size is expected to reach $184 million by 2028.
However, the revenue of the regional crypto market is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2025, with an average revenue of $92.5 per user. Around 21% of the total population of Vietnam is involved in crypto, making it among the top five nations globally in terms of crypto adoption.

Christie Real Estate Unveils Dedicated Crypto Division- NYT
The New York Times said in its most recent report that Christie International Real Estate has unveiled a dedicated crypto real estate division, becoming the 1st United States brokerage firm to facilitate real estate transactions exclusively in Bitcoin and Ethereum, eliminating the traditional finance system.
NYT also quoted that Christie International Real Estate has formed a dedicated team of lawyers, crypto experts, and analysts to oversee the digital asset transactions.
Aaron Kirman, the Chief Executive Officer of Christie, argued that the move to launch a separate crypto division came after the firm completed several high-profile crypto transactions.
Kirman exemplified a deal in which a property was bought for $60 million in Beverly Hills using Bitcoin, the oldest and most prominent crypto in the digital asset market.
Christie’s clients are open to accepting crypto in payment
It is worth noting that the division manages a portfolio of over $1 billion in luxury properties open to crypto-only offers, including high-profile listings such as Bel Air estate La Fin valued at $118 million.
Some other top properties include the $63 million Nightingale in Beverly Hills and the Joshua Tree property, and the Invisible house for $18 million.
While talking to the NYT, Kirman quotes that, “ The trend was obvious — crypto is here to stay. It’s only going to get bigger over the next few years.”
However, experts see this move by Christie as a global shift from traditional finance towards cryptocurrencies and a decentralized economy.
Real estate is now switching towards digital assets
The global real estate market is increasingly integrating digital assets and has continued to embrace decentralization and blockchain technology.
The shift from fiat to crypto in real estate will change the buying and selling experience of customers and will open several new options for them, which will eliminate the interference of a central entity.
Over the last few quarters, tokenization in real estate has grown, which involves converting property ownership into a digital token on a blockchain, enabling investors to buy fractional shares of high-value assets.
The convergence of 5G, decentralized technology, and Artificial Intelligence is transforming real estate globally, and in regions like Singapore and Dubai, there are now homes with AI automated houses becoming standard.
According to ScienceSoft, the tokenized real estate is expected to reach a mark of $3 trillion by 2030, which makes up 15% of global real estate under management.
A quick overview of the crypto market
According to the data from CoinMarketCap, the crypto market cap is $3.79 trillion with a loss of 1.34% in the past 24 hours, and the trading volume is $218.52 billion. At the same time, the crypto fear and greed index was at 66, still indicating greed in the market sentiment.
