MARKET SNAPSHOT

TOP STORY

Briefly: In July 2019 when he was the president, Trump declared that Bitcoin was "not money" and based on thin air.

So Basically: When Trump made these statements, one Bitcoin was worth $12,139. So, if you parked $1000 in Bitcoin, you would have received 0.082 BTC.

So Then: At a recent Bitcoin conference, Trump made several pro-cryptocurrency commitments, including the establishment of a national Bitcoin stockpile, and a promise to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.

So What: Trump's flip has got cryptocurrency bettors gambling heavily in favor of his win later this year, with odds of a Trump win at 60%.

FIVE ZINGERS

Burn Baby: Shiba Inu burn rates are surging again at 4,500%+ and the Shiba Inu community celebrated its 6-million transaction milestone on Shibarium.

New Doge: Neiro is the new Shiba Inu of Kabosu’s mom - the dog behind the Dogecoin meme - and it is making a big splash on Solana and Ethereum.

Kamala Trade: Everyone has heard about the Trump trade by now but there is also a “Kamala trade” and it’s maybe not what you would expect.

Breakout: Dogecoin is trying to push higher and break its 13 cents resistance but there are a couple of other key levels traders need to watch.

Up Only: The “real” bull market hasn’t even started yet, according to a prominent trader, who says the violent up-only moves are still to come.

FINTECH FOCUS

Briefly: GBTC is down 11% today after Grayscale Investments announced the fund’s spinoff into a new exchange-traded fund (ETF).

What Happened: On July 31, Grayscale will spin off 10% of its GBTC fund into a Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.

What Else: Current GBTC shareholders will receive shares in the Mini Trust in direct proportion to the shares they hold in GBTC. It means they have the same amount of BTC but across two funds.

Why It Matters: Grayscale has not disclosed the management fees for the BTC Mini Trust, but industry analysts widely expect a significant discount compared to GBTC’s current 1.5% annual management fee.
