Moving Averages

Next BTC topHistorically, BTC/USD has tended to peak when the 200-week simple moving average (200W SMA) approaches or crosses the high from the previous market cycle. If this pattern holds, and assuming the 200W SMA continues rising at its current pace, the next top could occur sometime between January and May 2026. If BTC accelerates earlier, the moving average would steepen, potentially shifting the timing forward. Something worth watching to manage risk and position sizing accordingly.

Dollar General | DG | Long at $90.00Dollar General NYSE:DG took a massive hit this morning after revising their future earnings guidance. The economy is showing many signs of a recession, and this is a clear warning. From a technical analysis perspective, it has retouched my "crash" simple moving average and may dip further into the $80's in the near-term. But, like many overall strong companies that suddenly plummet, I view this as a future opportunity given the strength of NYSE:DG as a business (holistically). Dollar General is the only grocery and home goods store around in many rural locations. So, while there is doom and gloom in the near-term, Dollar General is in a personal buy zone at $90.00. I view this as a starter position, though, with the potential for future declines/opportunities for additional share accumulation in the near-term. Target #1 = $100.00 Target #2 = $122.00 Target #3 = $200.00+ (very-long term outlook...)

Bullish Signals Mount for XRP as Price Holds Weekend GainsXRP at a Crossroads: Technical Strength Meets Fundamental Catalysts in a High-Stakes Market July 28, 2025 – In the volatile and ever-evolving world of digital assets, few tokens command as much attention, debate, and fervent community support as XRP. The digital asset, intrinsically linked with the fintech company Ripple, is currently navigating a period of intense market focus. After a period of consolidation, XRP is demonstrating renewed strength, holding onto recent gains and pressing against critical technical resistance levels. This price action is not occurring in a vacuum; it is the culmination of powerful undercurrents, including bullish chart patterns, significant accumulation by large holders, and a shifting landscape of regulatory clarity and institutional interest that could define its trajectory for years to come. As of Monday morning, XRP has shown stability, trading around the $3.16 to $3.24 range. This follows a period where the token has been building momentum, with analysts closely watching key resistance zones between $3.30 and $3.40. A decisive break above these levels could signal the start of a new upward trend, while the ability to hold support, particularly around $3.15 to $3.20, is seen as crucial for maintaining the current bullish structure. This delicate balance has traders and long-term investors alike on high alert, as a confluence of technical indicators and fundamental developments suggests that XRP may be poised for its next significant move. ________________________________________ Chapter 1: Decoding the Charts: Bullish Patterns Emerge For technical analysts, the recent XRP charts are a compelling study in bullish potential. Several classic patterns and indicators have emerged, suggesting that the path of least resistance may be upwards. These signals, watched closely by traders globally, are fueling a narrative of an imminent breakout. One of the most discussed formations is the "Cup and Handle" pattern. This is a bullish continuation pattern that resembles a teacup on a chart. The "cup" is a U-shaped or rounded bottom that forms after a price run-up, indicating a period of consolidation and accumulation. This is followed by the "handle," a shorter and shallower downward drift in price, representing a final shakeout before a potential major upward move. Analysts have identified a large cup formation developing on XRP's long-term charts, with some pointing to a breakout zone around $3.64. A confirmed move above the handle's resistance could, according to technical theory, trigger an explosive rally, with some analysts projecting targets as high as $5.18, $7, or even a staggering $30 based on the pattern's depth. Adding to this bullish thesis is the appearance of a "Golden Cross." This occurs when a shorter-term moving average (like the 50-day) crosses above a longer-term moving average (like the 200-day) on a price chart. It is widely regarded as a signal of a potential long-term uptrend. A golden cross was recently confirmed on XRP's daily chart around July 23, 2025, an event that historically has preceded significant price runs. The last major golden cross in late 2024 was followed by a rally of over 460% in two months. While past performance is not indicative of future results, the reappearance of such a powerful signal has undoubtedly bolstered investor confidence. Furthermore, a rare golden cross has also been observed on the XRP/BTC trading pair, where XRP's price is measured against Bitcoin. This specific event, where the 23-day moving average crossed the 200-day, previously preceded a 158% surge in the pair's value in just two weeks. The near-identical structure of the current pattern has led analysts to suggest that XRP may be poised to outperform Bitcoin in the near term, especially as Bitcoin's price has been consolidating, shifting investor focus toward promising altcoins. These technical signals—from the broad Cup and Handle to the precise Golden Cross—are painting a picture of a market coiling for a significant move. They suggest that underlying buying pressure is quietly building, setting the stage for a potential breakout if the market's fundamental drivers align. ________________________________________ Chapter 2: The Whale Effect: Following the Smart Money Beyond the lines on a chart, the actions of the market's largest players—colloquially known as "whales"—provide another critical layer of insight. These are individuals or entities holding vast amounts of a cryptocurrency, and their trading activity can significantly influence market trends and sentiment. Recently, on-chain data has revealed a clear and compelling trend: XRP whales are accumulating. In a remarkable show of force, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have been steadily increasing their holdings, adding over 130 million XRP in a single day recently. These large-scale investors now control approximately 14% of the circulating supply, a historic high for this cohort. This accumulation is significant because it suggests that sophisticated, well-capitalized market participants are confident in XRP's future prospects and are positioning themselves for a potential price increase. Simultaneously, the flow of XRP from whale wallets to exchanges has plummeted by over 93% since early July. This is a crucial indicator, as large transfers to exchanges often signal an intention to sell. The sharp decline suggests that whales are not only buying more XRP but are also holding onto their existing assets, reducing the available supply on the market and removing significant sell-side pressure. This behavior, often described as a "supply shock," can create a powerful tailwind for the price if demand continues to rise. This intense accumulation has not gone unnoticed. In one instance, two identical transactions moved a combined 306.4 million XRP, worth nearly $1 billion, from an exchange to a private wallet within 60 seconds. Such large, coordinated movements are often interpreted as strategic positioning ahead of anticipated positive news or a market-wide rally. This activity, combined with reports of over 2,700 wallets now holding at least 1 million XRP each, paints a picture of broad-based accumulation among the asset's most significant backers. This "smart money" activity often provides a psychological boost to retail investors, reinforcing the belief that a major move could be on the horizon. ________________________________________ Chapter 3: The Fundamental Pillars: Regulation, ETFs, and Utility While technicals and whale movements drive short-to-medium-term sentiment, the long-term value of any digital asset rests on its fundamental pillars. For XRP, these pillars are its evolving regulatory status, the tantalizing prospect of a spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), and its core utility within Ripple's global payments network. Regulatory Clarity on the Horizon: The most significant overhang on XRP for years has been the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2020, which alleged that Ripple conducted an unregistered securities offering. This legal battle has been a focal point for the entire crypto industry. However, recent developments have shifted sentiment dramatically. Key court rulings, including a partial victory for Ripple where a judge determined that some of its XRP sales did not qualify as securities, have bolstered institutional confidence. Currently, the case is in a delicate phase, with both Ripple and the SEC having paused their respective appeals. While rumors of a final settlement swirl, legal experts caution that the process is subject to the SEC's internal bureaucratic procedures and a formal vote is still required. Nevertheless, the prevailing belief is that the worst of the legal uncertainty is over. A final resolution, which many hope will come before the end of the year, would remove the primary obstacle to XRP's full-scale adoption in the United States and could pave the way for its relisting on major exchanges and inclusion in institutional products. The Race for a Spot XRP ETF: Following the landmark approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the crypto market is buzzing with anticipation for what comes next. XRP is widely considered a prime candidate for its own spot ETF. Asset management giants like Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and WisdomTree have already filed applications with the SEC. The approval of a spot XRP ETF would be a watershed moment, providing a regulated, accessible, and insured investment vehicle for both retail and institutional investors in the U.S. to gain exposure to XRP. The launch of XRP futures-based ETFs has been seen as a positive precursor, following the same playbook that led to the spot Bitcoin ETF approvals. Market analysts and prediction markets have placed the odds of a spot XRP ETF approval in 2025 as high as 92-95%, contingent on a favorable resolution of the SEC lawsuit. Such an approval could unlock billions of dollars in institutional inflows, dramatically increasing demand and market legitimacy for the asset. Core Utility in Global Payments: At its heart, XRP was designed for utility. It serves as the native digital asset on the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain engineered for speed and efficiency. Its primary use case is powering Ripple's payment solutions, which are now part of the broader Ripple Payments suite. Ripple's network is designed to challenge the legacy correspondent banking system, exemplified by SWIFT, which can be slow and costly for cross-border payments. By using XRP as a bridge currency, financial institutions can settle international transactions in seconds for a fraction of a cent, without needing to pre-fund accounts in foreign currencies. This utility is not merely theoretical. Ripple has forged partnerships with over 300 financial institutions across more than 45 countries, with a significant portion utilizing XRP for liquidity. In 2024 alone, over $15 billion was transacted via Ripple's liquidity solutions, and the XRP Ledger is now processing over 2 million transactions daily. This growing, real-world adoption provides a fundamental demand for XRP that is independent of market speculation and forms the bedrock of its long-term value proposition. ________________________________________ Chapter 4: The Retirement Dream: Audacious Predictions and Future Outlook The convergence of bullish technicals, strong fundamentals, and growing market optimism has led to a wave of bold price predictions from analysts. While highly speculative, these forecasts illustrate the immense potential that many see in XRP, fueling a narrative that significant holdings could lead to life-changing wealth. Price targets for the current cycle vary widely, reflecting different models and timelines. Short-term targets frequently center around the $4 to $7 range, with some analysts suggesting a move to $9 or $15 is possible if momentum continues. One analyst, citing a rare bullish chart pattern, sees a potential 60% rally to around $4.47. Looking further out, the predictions become even more audacious. Projections based on historical cycles and technical models, such as Elliott Wave theory, have put forth long-term targets of $16, $24, and even $27. Some AI-driven prediction models forecast that XRP could reach the $10-$20 range by the end of 2025, especially if an ETF is approved. Longer-term forecasts extending to 2030 suggest prices could potentially climb to between $19 and $48, depending on the level of global adoption. These predictions have given rise to the "retire on XRP" dream among its community. For instance, if XRP were to reach one analyst firm's high-end forecast for 2030 of $32.60, an investment of 10,000 XRP could be worth over $326,000. While tantalizing, it is imperative for investors to approach such forecasts with extreme caution. The cryptocurrency market is notoriously volatile, and such high-reward potential is invariably accompanied by high risk. Regulatory setbacks, macroeconomic downturns, or a failure to achieve widespread adoption could all significantly impact XRP's future price. Conclusion: A Confluence of Forces XRP currently stands at one of the most fascinating junctures in its history. The digital asset is being propelled by a powerful confluence of forces: bullish technical patterns are signaling a potential breakout, on-chain data shows undeniable accumulation by its largest holders, and its fundamental value proposition is being strengthened by increasing regulatory clarity, the imminent possibility of a spot ETF, and steadily growing real-world utility. The journey ahead is fraught with both immense opportunity and significant risk. A decisive break above its current resistance could unleash the momentum that analysts and investors have been anticipating for months. However, the market remains sensitive to legal news and broader macroeconomic trends. For now, XRP remains a bellwether asset, its story a microcosm of the broader struggle and promise of the digital asset industry—a high-stakes battle for legitimacy, adoption, and a permanent place in the future of finance

Edwards Lifesciences Enters the GapHealthcare has been the weakest sector in the past year, but some traders may expect a comeback in Edwards Lifesciences. The first pattern on today’s chart is the breakout on Friday after earnings and revenue beat estimates. That rally brought EW into a bearish gap from one year ago. Second is the May 16 high of $78.28. The heart-valve company spent more than two months mostly below that resistance, but now it’s been breached. Is there a confirmed breakout? Third, the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) crossed above the 200-day SMA in April. The 50-day SMA climbed above the 100-day SMA in May. Such an alignment, with the faster SMAs above the slower, may suggest a bullish trend is developing over the longer term. Finally, the pair of bullish gaps after the previous earnings reports in February and April could reflect improving sentiment toward the company’s fundamentals.

XRP Eyes $4? Analyst Says ‘Most Profitable Phase’ May Have BegunAs the broader crypto market shows signs of recovery, XRP is once again capturing investor attention—this time with bold forecasts of a surge toward $4.00, driven by technical momentum, market sentiment, and expanding real-world utility. According to crypto analyst Darren Chu, CFA, founder of Tradable Patterns, XRP may be entering its “most profitable phase” since its 2021 rally. The token has posted a 20% gain over the last three weeks, breaking key resistance levels and displaying stronger correlation with broader altcoin inflows. “XRP has the ideal confluence of legal clarity, technical breakout, and network traction,” Chu explained in a recent research note. “The conditions now resemble the early stages of major cyclical surges we’ve seen in past bull runs.” Legal and Regulatory Tailwinds Since Ripple Labs’ partial legal victory against the U.S. SEC in 2023—where a federal judge ruled that XRP is not a security when traded on exchanges—the asset has regained credibility among institutional players. Multiple crypto funds and ETFs have added exposure, and on-chain wallet growth has accelerated. This legal clarity has paved the way for Ripple to resume aggressive expansion of its payment corridors, especially in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Real-World Utility as a Demand Catalyst Unlike many Layer 1 tokens with purely speculative value, XRP benefits from real-world utility as a bridge asset for global payments. RippleNet, the enterprise-grade payment network built on XRP, now boasts over 300 financial institutions using or piloting XRP-based settlement infrastructure. In July, Ripple announced its latest partnership with Banco Bradesco, one of Brazil’s largest banks, to streamline USD/BRL remittances—a deal expected to drive significant volume on-chain. Analysts note that real-world utility may now be priced into XRP’s valuation at a discount, creating room for catch-up as adoption increases. Technical Analysis Points Toward Breakout From a technical standpoint, XRP has breached its multi-month descending channel, with daily trading volume rising 35% over the past two weeks. Analysts are watching the $0.92–$1.00 range as a short-term hurdle. If broken, momentum could accelerate quickly toward $1.50, and potentially as high as $3.80–$4.20, according to Fibonacci-based projections. “The breakout setup is textbook,” says Chu. “We’re seeing volume confirmation, RSI divergence, and a broader macro narrative—all aligning.” Risk and Reward: A Balanced View Of course, XRP is not without risks. Pending SEC appeals, macro volatility, and delays in Ripple’s expansion plans could temper the pace of gains. Still, many investors are betting that the risk-reward profile is increasingly asymmetric in XRP’s favor. In the eyes of analysts and asset managers alike, XRP is now more than a litigation story—it’s a comeback story. For those seeking exposure to a large-cap crypto with strong fundamentals, legal clarity, and real-world traction, the message from the market is clear: XRP’s most profitable phase may have just begun.

PayPal’s Stablecoin Ambitions Falter Ahead of Earnings ReportWhen PayPal launched its own stablecoin PYUSD in August 2023, the move was seen by many as a bold step toward dominating the digital payments space. However, nearly two years later, PYUSD has yet to meet expectations. Its market share remains minimal, trading volume is weak, and trust from the DeFi community is limited — all while PayPal’s next earnings report looms and investor pressure mounts. What’s the issue? According to data from DefiLlama and CoinGecko, PYUSD’s market cap stands at just over $400 million, despite high-profile marketing campaigns and its integration with Venmo. In comparison, USDT has surpassed $110 billion in circulation, and USDC stands at around $32 billion. PYUSD hasn’t even broken into the top five stablecoins on Ethereum by trading activity. A key problem is low liquidity and limited DeFi adoption. Although PYUSD is available on several decentralized exchanges (DEXs), it often suffers from high slippage. Moreover, PayPal operates under strict regulatory scrutiny as a public fintech company, limiting its ability to innovate or respond rapidly to market trends. Why earnings matter PayPal’s Q2 earnings report is expected next week, and investors will be closely watching not only core metrics like revenue and profit but also figures related to its Web3 and digital asset initiatives. With PYUSD underperforming, pressure is building for PayPal to justify its continued push into the crypto space. There is growing speculation that the company may consider partnering with an established stablecoin provider or even abandoning PYUSD in favor of a white-label solution — a move that could realign its Web3 roadmap. The strategic lens Despite current struggles, PayPal still has the brand and user base to play a significant role in digital finance. However, as DLT analysts emphasize, a stablecoin is more than a payment tool — it’s infrastructure. Success depends on liquidity, trust, and deep integration within the DeFi ecosystem. Without robust adoption across chains and use cases, PYUSD risks becoming an internal-only solution with limited external relevance. Unless the earnings report reveals a strategic pivot or new partnerships, investors may interpret PYUSD as a lost opportunity rather than a long-term asset.

Ethereum Staking Strain Exposed — Daxprime Weighs InIn July, the Ethereum ecosystem faced a new challenge: a sharp increase in the staking exit queue revealed structural weaknesses in the current liquid staking architecture. Within just a few days, more than 75,000 validators submitted requests to exit, causing temporary disruptions in certain derivative protocols and downward pressure on the prices of liquid staking tokens such as stETH, rETH, and sfrxETH. Daxprime, a firm specializing in institutional analytics and active strategies in the Web3 sector, believes that this situation presents not only risks, but also new opportunities for profit — particularly for well-prepared market participants. What Happened? Since transitioning to Proof-of-Stake in 2022, Ethereum has enabled staking through validators. However, to exit the network, validators must join a queue. Under normal market conditions, this process takes just a few hours to a couple of days. But in July, a sudden surge in withdrawal requests extended the queue to over seven days — the longest wait time since the Shanghai upgrade. Several factors contributed to the spike in exits: Increased market volatility; Rising yields in alternative DeFi instruments; Panic reactions to liquidity stress in certain protocols. As a result, liquid staking tokens — which are designed to trade close to a 1:1 ratio with ETH — began to trade at discounts of 3% to 4%, particularly on low-liquidity DEX platforms. Systemic Risk or Temporary Disturbance? Daxprime analysts emphasize that this is not a structural threat to Ethereum itself. However, the recent events clearly demonstrate that even "liquid" staking is still fundamentally tied to base-layer network constraints. Protocols like Lido and Rocket Pool are susceptible to imbalances between assets and liabilities, especially when there is a rapid increase in redemption demand. This also means that users trading staking derivatives without understanding the mechanics of validator exit processes may face temporary illiquidity or losses when attempting to unwind positions during stress events. How to Profit — Daxprime’s Perspective For experienced market participants, such imbalances offer entry points with positive expected value. Here’s how Daxprime identifies ways to profit: 1. Arbitrage on Discounted Tokens When stETH or sfrxETH fall below 0.97 ETH, there is an opportunity to buy these tokens on the secondary market and redeem them for full ETH value — either through redemption protocols or by waiting through the validator exit process. 2. Liquidity Provision with a Premium Liquidity providers in stETH/ETH or sfrxETH/ETH pools during periods of market stress earn higher trading fees and farming incentives due to increased volume and imbalance in the pools. 3. Futures and Hedging Strategies On platforms such as dYdX or Aevo, traders can build structured positions using stETH as the spot asset and hedging via ETH futures. This allows them to profit from either the restoration of parity or a continuation of the spread. Daxprime’s Conclusion The current exit queue backlog is not a catastrophe — it is a reminder that liquidity in crypto markets is always conditional. Stress events create inefficiencies that sophisticated investors can turn into sources of return. Daxprime provides the tools to monitor such inefficiencies and helps clients execute strategies that not only mitigate risk but convert volatility into profit. In markets where even “liquid” assets can become illiquid, those who understand the mechanics and act ahead of the curve stand to win.

Capital B Hits 2,000 BTC as BBDelta Highlights StrategyEthereum has surged past the $3,900 mark, propelled in part by news that Sharplink has acquired 77,200 ETH — a transaction worth over $300 million at current market value. For BBDelta, this move is not just market noise — it’s a concrete example of how institutional-grade Ethereum strategies can drive both asset growth and consistent income. Sharplink, originally focused on gaming and Web3 infrastructure, has recently pivoted toward an asset-heavy Ethereum strategy. This latest acquisition positions the firm among the top ETH holders globally — and, more importantly, signals a clear roadmap to profit generation within the Ethereum ecosystem. BBDelta analysts believe Sharplink isn’t buying ETH for speculative purposes. Rather, the company is likely deploying a multifaceted revenue model using its holdings. That includes high-yield staking via Ethereum’s proof-of-stake protocol, engagement with DeFi lending platforms, and participation in liquidity pools. These strategies, when executed correctly, can yield between 4% and 8% annually — paid directly in ETH or stablecoins. In addition to yield generation, Sharplink could be utilizing ETH to collateralize derivatives positions, fund tokenized infrastructure, or support its presence in NFT ecosystems. Ethereum, as a platform, offers an incredibly diverse set of use cases — making it more than just a crypto asset, but a cornerstone of digital finance. The breakout past $3,900 further strengthens this strategy. BBDelta’s technical analysis shows increased open interest in ETH futures and options, indicating rising institutional demand and the likelihood of continued volatility — a prime environment for experienced players to profit from both price movement and structure-based yields. Sharplink’s timing also reflects sound macroeconomic thinking. As fiat currencies continue to face inflationary pressure and traditional interest rates plateau, ETH-based strategies offer both protection and performance. BBDelta believes this dual value proposition — yield + appreciation — is driving renewed interest in Ethereum as a strategic reserve asset. At BBDelta, we empower clients to capitalize on these same dynamics. Whether it’s through ETH staking, DeFi revenue models, or structured derivatives, we offer the tools and advisory frameworks that allow investors to turn ETH holdings into active profit centers — with proper risk management in place. Ethereum’s $3,900 milestone is not a peak — it’s a gateway to next-level opportunity. For those with the infrastructure, insights, and risk controls in place, the digital economy is not just a bet — it’s a business.

Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Despite Weak SharesJapanese investment firm Metaplanet continues to draw attention with its pro-Bitcoin stance, announcing a fresh acquisition of BTC worth $93 million. The move comes despite ongoing pressure on the company's stock, underscoring its long-term commitment to digital assets. Publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Metaplanet began accumulating Bitcoin in early 2024, taking inspiration from U.S.-based MicroStrategy. Since then, the company has steadily increased its holdings, viewing the cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation — particularly in light of the weakening yen. With this latest purchase, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings now exceed 5,000 BTC, making it one of Asia’s largest corporate holders of the asset. Company executives emphasize that their approach is not driven by short-term speculation, but rather by a strategic vision to transform the balance sheet and align with the future of finance. Still, the stock market has not fully embraced the strategy. Since the company’s initial crypto investments, Metaplanet shares have experienced significant volatility and an overall downward trend. Some investors remain wary of overexposure to a single volatile asset, fearing it could deter traditional capital and increase overall risk. Speaking to local media, CEO Tetsuya Nagata reiterated that the firm’s Bitcoin commitment is deliberate and resilient. “We’re not chasing short-term price movements,” he said. “We see corrections as opportunities to strengthen our position and prepare for long-term transformation.” Analysts are divided. Some view Metaplanet’s approach as a sign of growing institutional appetite for crypto in Asia, while others call for a more diversified portfolio to mitigate risk. There is growing speculation that Metaplanet’s bold move could set a precedent for other Japanese and regional companies seeking similar exposure. Against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty and financial digitization, Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a core component of strategic asset allocation. Metaplanet is a clear example of this shift — one that is navigating short-term market challenges in pursuit of a long-term digital vision. Time will tell whether the strategy pays off. But for now, Metaplanet is carving out a bold new role in Japan’s corporate landscape, as a pioneer of institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia.

DaxPrime: BlackRock Exec Move Signals SharpLink’s $1.3B ETH ShifIn a development that is drawing attention across both institutional finance and the crypto ecosystem, a senior executive from BlackRock’s digital assets division has transitioned to SharpLink Gaming — a rising Ethereum whale and sports betting infrastructure player now managing over $1.3 billion in ETH-based assets. At DaxPrime, we see this move not as an isolated career shift but as a strategic signal of deepening convergence between traditional asset management and Web3-native businesses. The Move: From Wall Street to Web3 Execution According to sources familiar with the matter, BlackRock’s former Head of Digital Asset Strategy, Daniel Wexler, is joining SharpLink Gaming as its Chief Digital Officer. Wexler played a critical role in shaping BlackRock's crypto ETF initiatives and oversaw early-stage partnerships with Ethereum ecosystem projects. His transition comes at a time when SharpLink — originally focused on B2B sports betting technologies — has evolved into a key player in decentralized infrastructure, integrating smart contracts, Layer-2 analytics, and tokenized in-game markets. The company currently holds over $1.3 billion in Ethereum, making it one of the largest corporate ETH holders in the entertainment-tech sector. DaxPrime’s View: Strategic Talent Realignment At DaxPrime, we interpret this as more than just a personnel update. It reflects a broader realignment where institutional talent is gravitating toward firms that offer speed, flexibility, and a native role in the decentralized economy. “The move illustrates a trend we’ve tracked since early 2024: legacy finance professionals are increasingly pivoting toward operational roles in Web3-native companies, particularly those with real assets and strong ETH exposure,” says Michaela Strobel, Senior Analyst at DaxPrime. SharpLink’s use of Ethereum spans beyond treasury holdings. The firm is building proprietary smart contract infrastructure for real-time sports data feeds, NFT-linked fantasy games, and decentralized betting protocols — signaling a broader use-case than speculative ETH storage. Ethereum as a Strategic Asset Wexler’s decision also underscores Ethereum’s growing importance as a corporate strategic asset, not merely an investment vehicle. Ethereum’s programmable layer and widespread developer adoption make it the backbone of emerging digital business models — including SharpLink’s. DaxPrime’s July 2025 ETH Treasury Index reveals that more than 18 publicly listed firms now hold over $500 million in Ethereum each, compared to just five a year ago. This uptick is particularly concentrated in sectors like digital media, AI-gaming convergence, and decentralized finance tooling. “Ethereum’s shift from an investment to infrastructure asset is well underway,” Strobel notes. “Wexler’s move brings boardroom-grade credibility to a company operating deep within that transformation.” What It Means for Investors For investors, this move signals two critical developments: Institutional Validation of Web3 Business Models: Wexler’s transition lends credence to firms building around Ethereum-based infrastructure, rather than just speculating on token prices. New Pathways for ETH Utility: SharpLink’s planned integration of ETH staking, yield strategies, and decentralized oracles into its sports gaming vertical could set new standards for how consumer-facing platforms leverage blockchain. DaxPrime’s Conclusion The decision by a senior BlackRock executive to join an Ethereum-native company like SharpLink Gaming is not a one-off anomaly. It reflects a rapidly maturing industry where the center of gravity is shifting from financial speculation to operational integration. At DaxPrime, we continue to monitor executive movements as a leading indicator of sector confidence and capital rotation. As Ethereum evolves from “store of value” to “platform for value,” such strategic appointments signal where the smart money is going — and what the next phase of crypto utility will look like.

ETH to Lead BTC Over Next 6 Months, Says Galaxy CEOIn a bold forecast that has reignited the debate over crypto market leadership, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz stated that Ethereum (ETH) is poised to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) over the next six months, citing improving fundamentals, institutional tailwinds, and critical network upgrades. Novogratz, a long-time crypto advocate with deep ties to both traditional finance and blockchain innovation, made the statement during an interview at the Digital Asset Summit in New York, sparking renewed discussion about the shifting dynamics between the two largest digital assets by market capitalization. Ethereum’s Evolving Investment Case “Ethereum is becoming more than just a smart contract platform,” said Novogratz. “It’s evolving into a foundational layer for the future of finance.” This confidence is underpinned by Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake, reduced energy consumption, and growing usage of Layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. These developments, Galaxy argues, have made Ethereum more attractive to institutional investors who previously stayed away due to scalability concerns and environmental critiques. Stronger Fundamentals, Expanding Utility Ethereum’s network revenue—driven by transaction fees and on-chain activity—has consistently outpaced competitors. According to Galaxy’s internal research, Ethereum generated over $2.1 billion in protocol revenue in the first half of 2025, compared to just under $1.5 billion for Bitcoin. Additionally, the rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, DeFi resurgence, and the adoption of Ethereum-based stablecoins by traditional finance platforms have significantly enhanced ETH’s long-term value proposition. “Ethereum is no longer a tech experiment. It’s infrastructure,” Novogratz stated. Bitcoin Still Dominates, But ETH Momentum Grows While Novogratz remains bullish on Bitcoin, he emphasizes that BTC is now more of a macro hedge than a dynamic growth asset. With institutional investors already heavily exposed to Bitcoin via spot ETFs, the marginal capital over the next cycle may shift toward Ethereum, particularly as ETH-based ETF products gain traction. “Bitcoin remains the king of store-of-value assets in crypto. But Ethereum is where innovation and yield are happening,” Novogratz added. Six-Month Outlook Galaxy projects that ETH could outperform BTC by 20–30% in the second half of 2025, driven by upgrades like Proto-Danksharding, expanding Layer 2 activity, and Ethereum’s role in cross-chain interoperability. Novogratz also hinted that Galaxy is allocating more capital into Ethereum-based venture projects and staking infrastructure, in anticipation of a “second-layer boom” later this year. Conclusion While Bitcoin remains the undisputed anchor of the crypto economy, Ethereum’s expanding utility, institutional relevance, and revenue-generating capabilities position it to lead performance in the near term.

Crypto Might Protect You from a Global Debt Crisis | OpinionAs sovereign debt levels surge and central banks struggle with inflationary aftershocks, investors worldwide are seeking new forms of financial protection. While gold and U.S. Treasuries have historically served as safe-haven assets, the current global debt structure presents unprecedented risks. In this context, cryptocurrencies — particularly decentralized, deflationary assets — may offer a unique hedge against systemic instability. A Mounting Crisis According to the IMF, global debt reached $315 trillion in Q2 2025, led by the U.S., China, and EU member states. Rising interest rates have pushed sovereign debt servicing costs to record highs. At the same time, inflation remains sticky, and fiscal deficits continue to expand — creating a scenario where traditional instruments may no longer preserve purchasing power. Credit downgrades of major economies — including a recent warning from Moody’s on the UK and France — further highlight the fragility of fiat-based systems. Why Crypto Provides an Alternative Fixed Supply: Bitcoin’s 21 million cap remains untouched. In an era of unlimited fiat printing, scarcity is a value proposition in itself. Decentralization: Cryptocurrencies operate outside centralized banking systems. In case of capital controls or currency devaluation, digital assets remain globally transferable and resistant to censorship. Accessibility and Liquidity: From stablecoins to DeFi protocols, crypto provides 24/7 access to financial tools — often with greater transparency than traditional banks. Not Without Risk Crypto remains volatile and vulnerable to regulatory shifts. The recent ETF delays by the SEC and tax crackdowns in G20 countries underscore the uncertain terrain. However, compared to the looming debt traps of fiat economies, some volatility may be an acceptable tradeoff for autonomy and deflationary exposure. Growing Institutional Interest Firms like Fidelity, BlackRock, and BBDelta have significantly increased their crypto allocations, particularly in ETH and BTC. Even central banks are researching CBDCs and holding digital reserves as a contingency plan. Conclusion While crypto isn’t a panacea, it represents a credible hedge in a world where fiat debt continues to spiral. For risk-aware investors, a balanced portfolio in 2025 likely includes a thoughtful allocation to digital assets — not for speculation, but for protection. The debt crisis is not a distant threat. It’s unfolding now — and cryptocurrency may be one of the few tools with the potential to navigate what comes next.

CELH Eyes Upside Momentum as Consolidation TightensCelsius Holdings, Inc. ( NASDAQ:CELH ) has shown a notable recovery from its early 2025 lows, steadily climbing and recently consolidating around the $46 level. The stock is currently trading above both the short-term (red) and mid-term (blue) moving averages, which are sloping upward—indicating bullish momentum. The recent price action reveals a tight consolidation just below the previous local highs around $47–$48. If CELH can decisively break above this resistance zone with increased volume, it may trigger a short-term breakout and open room toward the $52–$55 range, even $60. Conversely, if the stock fails to break above resistance and falls below the $43–$44 support area (near the moving averages), it could trigger a short pullback toward the $40 level. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $47.50–$48.00 Support: $43.00–$44.00 Breakout Target: $52.00–$55.00 / extended $60 Momentum remains positive, but confirmation through volume and follow-through price action is essential for any breakout to sustain.
