📊 Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer believes that retail investors have reached a “point of maximum despair” — a signal that often precedes a market bottom. Matt Hougan expects the market is going through a “washout” phase before the next rally and predicts that Bitcoin could reach $125 000–$150 000 by the end of the year.

💸 Long-time Bitcoin holders have offloaded around 400 000 BTC over the past month, an exodus of about $45 billion that’s left the market unbalanced.

🏝 The Tenerife Island Council (Canary Islands) has put up for sale 97 BTC that were originally purchased back in 2012 for €10 000 to support blockchain research.

Today, the holdings are valued at around €10 million, representing a potential gain of roughly 99 900%.

The sale had been delayed for several years due to the need to comply with Spanish legal and regulatory procedures.

📊 According to CryptoQuant, buyer demand for BTC has surged again, hitting a new all-time high — 350 000 BTC purchased in the past month.

Bloomberg, citing 10x Research, reported the opposite yesterday: long-term holders have sold around 400 000 BTC over the same period.

Glassnode previously explained this as a redistribution — older long-term holders selling to new ones entering the market.

So, the situation may not be as alarming as some media suggest, experts note.

🪙 Major Ethereum ecosystem projects — including Aave Labs, Uniswap Foundation, Lido Labs Foundation, Curve Finance, The Graph Foundation, and others — have launched a new advocacy organization, the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA).

The initiative aims to defend the interests of DEX protocols and developers by promoting balanced regulation, protecting blockchain neutrality, and preserving innovation flexibility.

EPAA also intends to serve as a bridge between the community and regulators, collaborating with groups such as the DeFi Education Fund and the European Crypto Initiative.

😂 An American man convicted of identity theft has lost his lawsuit against the U.S. government, in which he demanded the return of a hard drive allegedly containing more than 3400 BTC (worth about $345 million).

The court rejected his claim, noting that Michael Prime had previously denied owning that cryptocurrency and stated he possessed only $1500 in BTC. Judges ruled that he asserted his ownership too late and that his story lacked credibility.

The appeals court upheld the lower court’s decision, deeming Prime’s claims unfounded.

🪙 Today, Tether bought an additional 961 BTC ($100 million) — the company now holds 87,296 BTC worth about $9 billion.

📊 The Bitcoin MVRV indicator has dropped to 1.8 — its lowest level since April — which historically signals the formation of a local bottom and entry into an accumulation zone. Analysts point to strong support around the $99 000 level.

Fundamentals remain healthy: exchange reserves continue to decline (as coins move to personal wallets), and recent liquidations have mostly affected high-leverage speculators, while long-term holders are still realizing profits.

The high supply of stablecoins ($183 billion in USDT and $75 billion in USDC) suggests that investors are ready to buy once the market stabilizes.

🛡 Trust Wallet has launched its P2P feature, allowing users to buy crypto directly from each other without intermediaries.

💎 Markets are gradually recovering amid signs of stabilization in U.S. politics and the broader economy — according to Polymarket data, the probability of the shutdown ending in the coming days exceeds 90%.

Another source of support has come from the Trump administration’s tariff policies, which, according to analysts, are beginning to yield tangible results — including a narrowing trade deficit and renewed capital inflows into the industrial sector. At the same time, Trump stated that he does not plan to introduce new tariffs in order to “avoid unsettling the markets” and to preserve the current positive momentum.

Against this backdrop, the president announced his intention to direct part of the revenue from tariffs on foreign goods directly to citizens — in the form of so-called “tariff dividends” of $2000 per person.

Overall, the combination of a likely end to the shutdown, a steadier trade policy, and fiscal stimulus is giving markets a rare moment of respite and cautious optimism.
