Today's market rise drivers and main news commentary

Today's positive crypto market movement stems from a confluence of macroeconomic factors and favorable physical ETF-related news.

· U.S. CPI for June

The U.S. CPI for June, released, came in softer than expected, with month-over-month -0.4%. This indicates easing inflation pressures domestically, reducing fears of further Fed rate hikes. As a result, risk assets gained broad support, and BTC clearly broke through a key level of63,000 USD.

· Geopolitical risk (U.S.–Iran situation) and recovery

In early July, tensions between the U.S. and Iran flared again due to new measures around the Hormuz Strait, triggering a risk-off mood and causing crude oil to rise and equities to fall, which temporarily pressured Bitcoin to around62,600 USD

· Reopening of spot physical ETF funding

Institutional buyers have provided solid support for the market. Transfers from long-term holders to new investors (whale-to-newbie redistribution) also appear healthy, suggesting persistent demand.

· Other supportive factors

News related to Bitcoin miners (AI) and RWA (tokenization of real assets) topics are heating up, further supporting market sentiment.

In sum, while geopolitics caused a temporary wobble, inflation data softness and ETF capital inflows delivered a strong rebound, marking a rebound day. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 32 (Fear), indicating market psychology remains cautious, even as actual price movements show a solid recovery.

Price action and context since last week (the last 7 days)

· Bitcoin(BTC)

In the last 7 days, around +1.33%, a gradual but steady upward trend.

· Ethereum(ETH)

In the last 7 days, around +6.03%, significantly outpacing Bitcoin.

· Market context

Looking back, in late June, inflows from physical ETFs and macro pressures as well as weak retail demand caused BTC to fall toward around 58,000 USD. Since July began, however, a reversal has taken hold. Weaker U.S. employment data for June also supported early rate-cut expectations and underpinned the market’s recovery.

Among them, Ethereum’s strength stands out, with capital flowing from Bitcoin to altcoins, rising staking demand, and VAN ecosystem activity driving ETHs performance.

Overall, the market appears to be moving into a “bottoming and recovery” phase from the June lows (though further declines are possible). However, macro factors like CPI results and geopolitical risk continue to create episodic volatility.

Spot ETF capital flow status (latest about 1 week ending July 10)

There were clear signs of market improvement.

· Bitcoin spot ETF

The week recorded net inflows of “+$1.974 billion.” This marks the first net inflow in 8 weeks. Driving this were BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and others. This inflow equals roughly 3,076 BTC in purchase power, sufficient to absorb new mining supply.

· Ethereum spot ETF

Similarly, there was a weekly net inflow of “+$84.40 million” (≈ +8.44 million USD), turning inflows back on after 8 weeks.

· Flow background

Since mid-May, the market experienced cumulative outflows exceeding $8 billion, but prices were supported near BTC 61,500 USD, dramatically improving institutional sentiment. Some in the market still consider inflows modest, but reversing a long period of outflows is a highly positive turning point for the market going forward.

Bitcoin (BTC) current concerns

On the other hand, BTC faces a three-fold set of headwinds and concerns:

Hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve
Geopolitical tensions, especially around Iran
Stalled U.S. Clarity Act (crypto regulation clarity) in Congress
※ The bill’s probability of passage recently fell from 74% to 48%.

Against these headwinds, U.S. stock markets closed in the red, and crypto-related stocks also declined: Coinbase -0.91%, Robinhood -1.37%. The AI-stock rally that had been driving the market may be tested in this July cycle.

◯ Bitcoin-related individual news

· Standard Chartered’s view

Standard Chartered, a major financial institution, issued a highly bullish report saying the current Bitcoin price around $64,000 is a “screaming buy” moment, with a price target of $100,000 by year-end. They also addressed MicroStrategy’s holdings, suggesting the concern is not balance sheet but communication issues, which has drawn notable attention to why such a big bank remains so bullish.

· MicroStrategy’s actions

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy did not add to Bitcoin last week. Instead, they increased their USD reserves by approximately $450 million, highlighting a large liquidity buffer.

◯ Ethereum and other related news

· BitMine’s large ETH purchases

As a whale, BitMine bought 27,801 ETH in the past week, bringing its total to 5.77 million ETH. This accounts for about 4.8% of total ETH supply. Of these, 4.91 million ETH are currently staked, and BitMine and cash reserves total about $482 million.

· Hyundai’s success with USDT international transfers

Hyundai (Korean automaker) adopted the stablecoin USDT for cross-border transfers. A $20,000 transfer from the U.S. to Mexico took only about 7 minutes, versus hours or days previously. The test used the Avalanche blockchain, with further plans with Circle and Visa for a second phase targeting Europe. This demonstrates large companies beginning to use stablecoins in real-world infrastructure.

· Circle gains U.S. National Trust Bank license

Circle, issuer of the stablecoin USDC, received approval to operate as National Trust Bank in the U.S., the first stablecoin issuer under direct federal regulation. In response, Circle’s stock rose over 7.7% in pre-market trading, boosting confidence and legal certainty for USDC and narrowing the gap between crypto and traditional Web2 finance.

· Lawson tests POS-linked stablecoin payments in Japan

Lawson, a major convenience store chain, will pilot “POS-integrated stablecoin payments” in Japan. From early August at the Shinagawa station Tachii store, Japanese yen-backed stablecoin JPYC will be usable for purchases. Customers simply scan a smartphone code at the register to complete payment.

· Bolivia considering USDT integration into national payment systems

CriptoNoticias reports that Bolivia’s finance minister said the government is evaluating officially integrating USDT into the national payments system, alongside the U.S. dollar and the Boliviano, to circulate domestically. This stems from chronic foreign currency shortages. Local banks Banco Unión and Banco FIE have already begun related services.

· JCB to adopt USDC for foreign visitors

Japan’s largest credit card issuer, JCB, plans to start a pilot to enable USDC payments for foreign visitors to Japan within the year, reducing currency exchange steps and overseas transfer fees from about 1.5% to around 3%.
