Alright, my fellow crypto enthusiasts, buckle up because last week in the crypto world was nothing short of electrifying. From big market moves to regulatory shake-ups, here’s the rundown of everything you might’ve missed.

First off, let’s talk about Bitcoin. After a rough stretch caused by fresh tariff announcements from President Donald Trump, BTC found its footing again. It’s trading at about $79,935 today, rising from its recent slump around $75,000. The broader crypto market followed suit, seeing a modest recovery of about 1.42%, with total market cap hitting $2.51 trillion. For altcoin lovers, XRP and Cardano led the charge, with XRP nearing $2, and ADA climbing over 6% to cross the $0.61 mark.

Speaking of altcoins, Qubetics ($TICS) is stealing the spotlight. This decentralized VPN project is gaining traction as a potential leader in providing practical solutions for privacy and security. Other gems like Sonic, Cronos (CRO), and Stellar (XLM) are also making waves. Cronos boosted its DeFi integration, while Stellar’s cross-border payment partnerships in emerging markets are bolstering its utility.

Regulations also made headlines. The U.S. House Financial Services Committee is diving into updates on digital asset laws, aiming to refine crypto oversight. On the other hand, the SEC has scheduled a roundtable to discuss how to tailor regulations for the crypto industry. Meanwhile, the GENIUS Act is moving closer to becoming law, signaling optimism around regulatory clarity for crypto adoption.

Now, let’s talk institutional adoption. Messari CEO Eric Turner and Sygnum Bank’s Thomas Eichenberger, speaking at Paris Blockchain Week, forecast a major banking push into Bitcoin by late 2025. With regulators embracing crypto services, the idea of traditional banks offering custody and trading options is becoming a reality.

On the tech side, the Neutron network is implementing its Mercury upgrade, transitioning to a standalone proof-of-stake system. And for DeFi enthusiasts, perpetual contract activity is spiking, with Bitcoin flirting with a breakout above $88K–$93K. Analysts suggest this could lead to a fresh rally toward $100K by year’s end.

What about NFTs? Well, the market took a hit last month, with trading volume dropping over 12%. Despite the slump, innovative projects like Azuki’s partnership with toy designer Michael Lau and The Sandbox’s Jurassic World collab show there’s still creative energy in blockchain tech.

For you meme coin hunters, Fartcoin (FART) is trending, boasting monthly gains of over 130%. While it’s whimsical, it’s part of a larger trend: memecoins often rebound sharply post-downturn. So keep an eye on the speculative frenzy.

And finally, don’t forget macroeconomic factors. The U.S. stock market bounced back sharply, adding $2 trillion in value after a tough week. This recovery trickled into crypto markets, showing again how interconnected these systems have become. Investors are watching closely as tariff tensions between the U.S. and China evolve, potentially signaling broader market movements.

That’s your week in crypto, packed with market moves, tech updates, and regulatory buzz. Keep your wallets ready and your eyes on the charts—things are heating up! Until next time, stay decentralized, my friends.
