What a massive week it’s been on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show! I’m Crypto Willy, your best crypto confidant, and whether you’re an OG whale, new HODLer, or just crypto-curious, buckle up—because this week brought everything from $9 billion whale dumps to NFT booms, ETF excitement, and even a new law signed at the highest level. Let’s dive deep straight into the blockchain currents churning right now.

The headline everyone’s buzzing about: an anonymous Bitcoin whale unloaded a staggering $9 billion in BTC, sending shockwaves through the market and sparking what analysts are calling a “healthy and necessary correction.” Despite a dip, top dogs like Bitcoin and Ethereum held their ground. John Glover, Ledn’s chief investment officer, reassured investors that this is likely the last major shakeout before Bitcoin surges toward his target of $132,000. Bloomberg is backing that bullish thesis, pointing out that Bitcoin climbed to a high of $123,000 in mid-July on ETF optimism, and some big-money players are betting serious options on BTC hitting $110,000 or even $200,000 this year.

But the story isn’t just Bitcoin. We saw some wild price swings across the altcoin universe—think Cardano up 20% and Dogecoin rockets 39% in the past week. Coinbase’s research team notes this “altcoin season” might be supercharged if Bitcoin stabilizes above $115,000, a level traders are watching like hawks. Meanwhile, after repeated fails at $120k, there was a big rotation from Bitcoin into Ether. According to Swissblock, capital is flooding into ETH, with spot Ether ETFs in the U.S. soaking up $2.4 billion in six trading days, outshining even the mighty Bitcoin ETFs.

The regulation scene exploded when President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, a watershed moment that legalizes and heavily regulates stablecoins, requiring they be backed by U.S. dollars or treasuries. Fortune reports this formalizes stablecoin issuers as quasi money-market funds, propping up both the U.S. dollar and bond markets. Analysts at Deutsche Bank call it a “win” for U.S. monetary dominance, and Trump himself insists this law cements the dollar as the world’s reserve currency—a huge boost to institutional confidence and, in turn, crypto prices.

On the NFT front, a blast-from-the-past style rally has digital collectibles roaring again, with volumes the highest in months and several blue chip projects hitting new all-time highs. Over on the mining side, VanEck notes the Core Scientific-CoreWeave deal is shaking up the sector, pushing miners to pivot towards AI infrastructure to stay profitable—a sign that, in 2025, innovation is the name of the game.

Rounding out the week, the overall sentiment remains super optimistic. The Fear & Greed Index is ticking in at 70—greed territory—and institutional adoption is showing no signs of slowing. As regulatory and fiscal tailwinds build, all eyes are now on upcoming ETF decisions and whether Bitcoin will break out or if “Altcoin Summer” continues to steal the headlines.

That’s a wrap for this wild week in crypto. Big love for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show—make sure you come back next week for more action, alpha, and analysis.
