Hey friends, it’s Crypto Willy here with your latest scoop on everything crypto, fresh as of July 1st, 2025! Let’s dive into a whirlwind week packed with market moves, token unlocks, regulation drama, and which coins might light up July.

The week kicked off with a serious watch on token unlocks—over 129 million tokens are about to flood the market in early July. Sui (SUI), Ethena (ENA), and ZetaChain (ZETA) take the spotlight. To give you an idea, Sui alone is unlocking 44 million tokens—worth roughly $122.3 million—putting 1.3% more SUI into circulation. These unlocks aren’t just generous handouts; they’re strategically spread between Series B investors, community reserves, early contributors, and the Mysten Labs Treasury. This approach is all about balancing growth with stakeholder rewards. SUI had been on a mini bull run, up over 11% last week, but dipped slightly by 1.4% as cautious investors braced for volatility. Keep your eyes peeled—these releases can cause some price waves.

On the big-player front, Bitcoin just delivered a record monthly close, even as technical signals point to some possible short-term dips. The U.S. dollar index suffered its worst crash since 1991, which, believe it or not, is bullish long-term for Bitcoin. Analysts are talking about stochastic indicators showing a possible drop below the $100K mark in the short run, so expect a bit of turbulence for BTC. Meanwhile, Ethereum and XRP are also making waves: XRP, TRX, and DOGE are leading major coins with positive funding rates as Bitcoin enters its usually tricky third quarter.

Let’s not ignore the security side—Certik reports that crypto investors lost a staggering $2.5 billion to hacks and scams in the first half of 2025, with Ethereum topping the list of targeted blockchains. Always double-check those protocols, especially when yield sounds too good to be true.

Now, on the regulatory front, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is shaking things up with a push to waive taxes on small-scale crypto transactions as part of a big federal budget bill. If passed, this could make life a lot easier for everyday users and small investors in the U.S.

Looking for coins with breakout potential this month? Analysts are eyeing SYRUP, the token behind Maple Finance, which just smashed to a fresh all-time high in June. Its momentum, backed by strong buying pressure, could carry it past $0.66 and maybe up to $1. Meme coins like HYPE and FARTCOIN are also getting chatter, showing how wild the altcoin scene can get when the market heats up.

Asia’s also flexing its muscles, with South Korea’s Upbit teaming up with Naver Pay on a Korean won stablecoin. This could smooth out price differences between domestic and global exchanges, ending that old “kimchi premium” and making Korea a key playground for stablecoins.

With all this action, July is teeing up for another possible double-digit gain month for Bitcoin, especially if those macro rate cuts materialize. Buckle up, stay sharp, and keep those wallets secure—Crypto Willy will be back next week with more.
