ETHEREUM RALLIES 50%
ETH just blasted through $4,600 for the first time since 2021, as demand from ETFs, treasuries, and institutions crushes available supply.

ETF flows are leading the charge: Monday saw over $1B in daily inflows to spot ETH ETFs, with BlackRock pulling in $640M.
Total assets under management now exceed $10B, with only three days of outflows since launch.

Ethereum ETF Flows
The rally has sent ETH up 26% in a week and 50% in a month, leaving Bitcoin in the dust.
Corporate treasuries are a growing force. BitMine Immersion now holds 1.15M ETH (~$5B) and aims for $24.5B in assets.
SharpLink Gaming added nearly $3B in ETH after a $900M raise.
In just four months, treasuries have gone from zero to controlling 8% of ETH’s supply — with analysts expecting 10% soon.

September Rate Cut Odds Now Up To 94.7%
Add in a macro kicker: post-CPI data, Fed rate cut odds for September have surged to 94.7%.
The result?
A historic supply crunch, where ETH is being bought faster than it can be minted.

BTC WHALES SMASH RECORDS
The battle for Bitcoin dominance is heating up as the digital asset trades at $120,000, only 3% below its all-time high.
Glassnode reports that 18,996 addresses now hold over 100 BTC, the highest figure ever recorded.
This surpasses the February 2017 record and signals a growing concentration of BTC wealth in the hands of large-scale investors.
The surge is largely attributed to corporate treasury strategies, with firms rapidly adding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
JUST IN: The number of addresses holding more than 100 #Bitcoin has hit a NEW ALL TIME HIGH 🚀

Since Donald Trump’s election win, Michael Saylor’s Strategy has doubled its BTC position, while other companies like Nakamoto and Twenty One Capital have executed or planned massive purchases.
Institutional adoption is accelerating, aided by pro-crypto policies and a rollback of restrictive measures.
With 21 million BTC as the hard supply limit, approximately 19 million mined, and 3 million lost, the available supply is shrinking.
As whales continue to buy aggressively, analysts suggest that price discovery above the current record could arrive sooner rather than later.

UK CRYPTO AD BAN AND EXIT TAX HORROR
The UK’s Advertising Standards Agency and major broadcasters have blocked Coinbase’s cryptocurrency ads, signalling increased regulatory resistance to crypto despite global adoption.
At the same time, Lord Ashcroft has warned that wealthy individuals are moving assets offshore to avoid a potential exit tax in October — a trend aligning with predictions from The Sovereign Individual, which foresaw technology empowering individuals to escape state control over money and taxation.
The backdrop is a century of fiat currency devaluation: the British Pound has lost over 99% of its value since 1914, the US Dollar over 97%, and the Swiss Franc more than 90%.
Even the Euro, only launched in 1999, has fallen 40% in just 26 years. For millennia, states have consolidated power through control of money — from Roman emperors to medieval monarchs — but cryptocurrencies threaten this model by offering alternative stores of value beyond government reach.
Meanwhile, the number of UK company directors emigrating has jumped by over 1,000 year-on-year, and thousands of high-net-worth individuals have already relocated to low-tax jurisdictions.
A UK exit tax, imposing capital gains or inheritance-style charges on leavers, could accelerate capital flight, undermining growth.
Unless the UK embraces innovation and competitive tax policy, it risks losing both wealth and economic relevance in an era where the sovereign individual can live, work, and transact anywhere.
Here more about this from Jacob Rees Mogg:
We are excited to announce one of Bitbo’s newest trading charts:
This chart shows the price of the S&P 500 index in bitcoin (BTC).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart is a momentum based visualization for the Bitcoin market. We use the RSI to measure the speed as well as the magnitude of directional price movements in Bitcoin. Depending on how fast a price changes and by how much, an RSI score is given to the day being observed relative to the past 14 days.
A high RSI means that price movements are very positive relative to the past 14 days.
A low RSI means that price movements are very negative relative to the past 14 days.
DEBT, BTC, ETH AND STABLECOINS NOVOGRATZ MAPS THE FUTURE
Debt, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stablecoins: Novogratz Maps the Future
For Mike Novogratz, the link between the macro economy and Bitcoin is simple: more debt equals higher Bitcoin prices.
As long as the US debt-to-GDP ratio climbs, the Galaxy Digital CEO expects BTC to remain on a bullish path.
Ethereum, he says, is telling a different story — one rooted in adoption and utility. Serving as the “base layer of trust,” Ethereum’s role in hosting stablecoins and DeFi applications is attracting large-scale institutional participation.
Publicly traded ETH treasury companies are creating new pathways for investors to earn staking yield and access crypto lending products.
Stablecoins themselves are set to expand beyond trading liquidity into mainstream payments and AI integration. While Circle and Tether dominate now, Novogratz predicts a crowded future market with big banks and tech firms launching their own tokens.
For investors, Circle’s stock — and Coinbase’s 50% USDC revenue share — offer rare public-market exposure to the sector.
Watch the video below to see Novogratz’s outlook for the future of Bitcoin:
