The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
What’s up, crypto enthusiasts! Crypto Willy here, breaking down all the hottest action from The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show for the week heading into July 29, 2025. Strap in—this week we witnessed seismic moves, regulatory bombshells from the White House, whale activity straight outta Satoshi’s vault, and Ethereum flexing its muscles like never before.
Let’s kick things off with President Donald Trump’s big play: On July 18, Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, instantly becoming the most important piece of crypto legislation in U.S. history. This bill sets strict rules for stablecoins—think one-to-one dollar backing, regular audits, and new licensing requirements for issuers. The White House ceremony was packed with Republican heavyweights and fintech execs, all buzzing about how this cements America as a stablecoin powerhouse and gives U.S. banks and DeFi projects the regulatory clarity they’ve been begging for. The vibe across the industry? Wildly optimistic, with mainstream firms like Square and fintech banks already hinting at compliant stablecoin launches.
The market’s reaction? Absolute fireworks. Bitcoin blasted past its all-time high, hitting a monster $123,000 earlier in the week and hauling the total crypto market cap clear over $4 trillion. But as always in crypto, volatility crashed the party late in the week. A combination of profit-taking, on-chain whale wallet reactivations (yeah, Satoshi-era wallets!), and that estate-planning mega-sale via Galaxy led to a quick Bitcoin dip—plunging toward $115,000 before bouncing back up to the $119,000 neighborhood. Even then, bullish sentiment’s going nowhere; as CoinDCX’s research desk puts it, institutional money—especially via ETFs and corporate buyers like Metaplanet—is turbocharging this market.
Ethereum, meanwhile, isn’t playing second fiddle. Ether ETFs notched a record-shattering 16 straight days of inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA ETF blazing past $10 billion in assets under management—fastest climb ever outside of BTC ETFs. On top of that, BitMine Immersion popped up as the world’s largest public ETH treasury, bagging 565,821 Ether, and SharpLink Gaming doubled down on its ETH reserves with a fat $96 million raise. No surprise then that ETH is flirting with $3,800 as Wall Street’s “Ethereum trade” picks up speed.
Looking ahead, everyone in the biz is bracing for July 30. That’s when the White House drops its long-awaited Crypto Policy Report—a sweeping review of U.S. digital asset strategy that could recommend building a Strategic BitcoinReserve, propose new rules for stablecoins, and even float a ban on central bank digital currencies. Insiders say this could totally reshape the global regulatory picture and cement America’s move toward a tech-neutral, innovation-friendly crypto policy. It’s the culmination of Trump’s Executive Order 14178, which replaced the old Biden-era directives and now puts national security and financial tech at the heart of U.S. crypto thinking.
The market’s been reacting to all this policy clarity and macro buzz. When the U.S. and EU reached a surprise trade deal on July 28 that dodged a brutal 30% tariff, Bitcoin shot up 1.2% to $119,000, showing that regulatory peace and global cooperation matter as much as anything. Analysts at Changelly expect BTC to hang near $120,000 for the rest of the month, with a shot at $139,000 in August if momentum holds. But beware—should price dip under $118K, don’t be spooked by healthy corrections down to $115,000; that’s just whales and traders taking profit before another leg higher.
Crypto’s heating up across the board: Satoshi-era whale moves rocked the news, Ethereum marked its tenth anniversary in style, and coins like Solana, Binance Coin, and XRP showed resilience during this volatility. If you’re making your picks, Bitcoin and Ether remain king, but market cap winners this week included names like Metaplanet for BTC and BitMine Immersion for ETH.
That’s it for this explosive week in crypto. Thanks for riding along with me, Crypto Willy!
