What a week for Klever and the entire crypto market.
We saw the launch of Klever Academy in partnership with Unifor, Lightning Network integration on the Android app, a staking boost, and KLV reacting positively.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin soared to $122,000, surpassing giants like Amazon and Google. XRP broke a 7-year record and claimed the #3 spot in the market.
Ethereum crossed $420 billion in market cap, driven by ETF momentum, DeFi growth, and rising institutional interest — and altcoins like DOGE, ADA, and Solana followed suit.
Behind the scenes, the U.S. Congress moved forward with three major bills that could change everything: the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC bill.
And to top it all off, a 2011 whale moved 80,000 BTC — bringing the spotlight back to Bitcoin’s early days.
The momentum is strong, the sentiment is high, and the numbers speak for themselves. Here’s everything that went down!

Whale Alert: 80,000 BTC Moved from Dormant Wallets
Source: VOI
On July 4, when a Bitcoin whale shifted 80,000 BTC—worth $8.6 billion—from 2011 wallets.
Tracked by Whale Alert, this massive move of “Satoshi-era” coins sparked talk of hacks or early miners cashing out a 140,000x gain from $0.78.
BTC dipped 1.6% to below $108,000 but recovered as no sell-off occurred. CryptoQuant’s J.A. Maartun suggests a security upgrade, with 120,326 BTC ($17.4 billion) still held. This boosted altcoin sentiment, easing liquidity concerns.
Altcoins Ride the Wave: PENGU, Dogecoin, Klever, and More
Bitcoin’s fire lit up altcoins, with the 80,000 BTC move adding intrigue.
Here’s the lineup for July 7–11:
- Ethereum (ETH): Rose 17.48% to $3,000, fueled by $383.1 million in ETF inflows and the Pectra upgrade. Target: $3,200–$4,000.
- XRP: Jumped 15% to $2.78, driven by Ripple’s bank charter and the GENIUS Act.
- Cardano (ADA): Surged 20% to $0.73, boosted by ETF buzz and a $100 million USDM plan.
- Solana (SOL): Gained 5.5% to $165.65, with $94.8 billion in DEX volume and ETF hopes.
- Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): Soared 23% to $0.0234, with a $1.46 billion market cap and $1.46 billion volume.
- Dogecoin (DOGE): Climbed 12.7% to $0.2086, riding Musk’s hype and an ETF filing.
- Klever (KLV): Inched up 2.05% to $0.00199, with $3.3 million volume, powered by staking and Klever Academy.
- Klever Finance (KFI): Held steady as a governance token, with a July 12 update teased.
$1.52 billion in institutional flows and the whale event supercharged this rally.
TRON DAO’s Stellar Week: Stablecoins Boom, USD1 and Trump Soar, TRX Hits $0.305
Fonte: The Currency Analitycs
TRON DAO flexed its muscles, with USDT volume reaching $1.23 trillion in 2025 and $60 billion daily (DeFiLlama), grabbing 60% of global USDT flows.
The GENIUS Act boosted trust. USD1 stablecoin hit $2.1 billion after a $2 billion UAE investment via Binance, while Trump on TRON jumped 30% to $0.45 with $1.2 billion volume. TRX surged 20.1% to $0.305, with a $28 billion market cap and $3.8 billion daily volume.
DeFi TVL at $8.5 billion signals $0.35–$0.50 by Q3.
What’s Driving the Boom?
$1.18 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, $383.1 million for Ethereum, and $1.52 billion in total flows led the charge. Trump’s policies, a soft dollar, and $591 million in Bitcoin short liquidations (CoinGlass) fueled optimism, with the Fear & Greed Index at 67.
Risks and the Road Ahead
Dips loom—Bitcoin to $100,000, TRX to $0.25, $WLFI to $100—if momentum stalls. Tariff risks or the whale’s 120,326 BTC could shake things up. Altcoins face retail fatigue, but $130,000 BTC, $4,000 ETH, and $0.50 TRX are in play. The CLARITY Act and Klever’s push could elevate 2025.

World Liberty Financial launched a vote to make $WLFI tradable, securing 99% support from five billion tokens through July 16.
The Trump family, down to 40% from majority control since December 2024, holds 15.75 billion tokens, with President Trump earning $57.4 million in June 2025.
A $2 billion UAE investment used $USD1, adding global heft. Glassnode warns of 10-15% volatility post-unlock, with $WLFI near $116 (range: $2,327–$211).
Bitcoin Tops $119,000 After New Michael Saylor Tweet
Source: X
The price of Bitcoin hit a new all-time high on Sunday (13), surpassing $119,000 for the first time, according to data from CoinGecko. The surge was triggered by a tweet from Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy, one of the world’s largest institutional holders of BTC.
Saylor posted the following message on X (formerly Twitter):
“Some weeks you don’t just HODL.”
The cryptic phrase was interpreted by the market as a hint of a new institutional Bitcoin purchase by Strategy — a company that already holds over 597,000 BTC, valued at around $70 billion. Within minutes, Bitcoin’s price jumped to $119,126, marking a +9% gain on the week and +13% on the month.
Why do Saylor’s tweets move the market?
Michael Saylor has become one of the most influential figures in the crypto space after spearheading corporate Bitcoin adoption. His statements — especially vague or suggestive ones — often have an immediate impact on the asset’s price, as they hint at large-scale purchases.
Strategy has followed an aggressive accumulation strategy since 2020, with renewed momentum in recent months, especially after the U.S. presidential election.

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high on Monday morning (July 14), hitting $122,780, according to CoinGecko data.
This surge pushed BTC’s market capitalization to $2.4 trillion — surpassing tech giants like Amazon and Google — making Bitcoin the 5th most valuable asset in the world by market cap.
(In Brazilian reais, Bitcoin’s price reached R$673,629.)
Why Is Bitcoin Going Up?
Several key factors are driving the rally:
1. Anticipation of “Crypto Week” in the U.S.:
Congress is set to review landmark bills that could reshape crypto regulation, including:
- Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act
- GENIUS Act (focused on stablecoins)
- Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act (aims to ban state-controlled digital currencies)
2. Institutional Confidence:
The growing adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs — especially from BlackRock — is reinforcing the narrative of institutional entry into crypto.
3. Search for Economic Protection:
As U.S. trade tariffs rise against Brazil, Mexico, and the EU, investors are turning to decentralized stores of value like Bitcoin.
Altcoins Join the Rally
The bullish trend isn’t limited to BTC:
- XRP: +7%
- Ethereum (ETH): +4%
- Solana (SOL): +3.4%

Ethereum (ETH) Surpasses $420 Billion Market Cap: What’s Driving the Surge?

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, has exceeded a $420 billion market capitalization, further solidifying its leadership position in the crypto space.
According to YCharts, ETH’s market cap reached $425.8 billion on July 17, 2025, and has already passed $436 billion according to Blockworks.

- Current Price: $3,596.47
- Daily Increase: +$174.82
- Intraday High: $3,669.53
- Market Cap: $436 billion (Source: Blockworks)
Why Is Ethereum Rising?
1. Growing Institutional Interest
Reuters reports that firms like BitMine Immersion Technologies have made significant ETH purchases as the market anticipates potential approval of Ethereum-based ETFs in the U.S.
2. Regulatory Progress in the U.S.
Congress is discussing bills like the GENIUS Act, which aim to provide clearer regulations for cryptocurrencies. This more favorable environment is attracting institutional capital to Ethereum.
3. Strengthening of the DeFi Ecosystem
Most leading DeFi protocols — including Aave, Uniswap, and Lido — are built on Ethereum. The growing use of stablecoins and increasing transaction volumes boost ETH’s role as the network’s gas token.
4. Technical Upgrades and Scalability Improvements
Ethereum’s shift to Proof of Stake and the adoption of Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism have improved efficiency and reduced costs, encouraging further innovation and business use cases.
Ethereum Among the World’s Top Assets
With this price surge, Ethereum now ranks among the top 20 global assets, surpassing major corporations like Mastercard and ExxonMobil.
Investor confidence in ETH continues to rise as it cements its role as core infrastructure for smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and stablecoins.
XRP Hits New All-Time High After 7 Years, Becomes the 3rd Largest Cryptocurrency in the World
XRP, the token associated with Ripple, surged by +26% in 24 hours, reaching $3.50 — a new all-time high, surpassing its previous peak of $3.40 set in January 2018.
In the early hours of July 18, the price even touched $3.65, according to data from CoinGecko.
This breakout marks the highest price ever recorded for XRP and reinforces the broader altcoin rally taking place in July 2025.
XRP Overtakes Tether to Claim #3 Spot Globally
With its surge, XRP’s market cap surpassed $200 billion, overtaking Tether (USDT), which remains around $160 billion.
XRP now ranks as the third-largest cryptocurrency in the world, trailing only Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Institutional Adoption Boosts XRP
According to Matt Kreiser from Messari, XRP’s rise reflects the growing use of the XRP Ledger by banks and financial institutions for cross-border payments.
Key partners include Bank of America, major Asian institutions, and global remittance companies.
This real-world utility strengthens the case for XRP’s sustained growth.
Altcoin Rally Signals Positive Market Momentum
XRP’s gains are part of a broader altcoin uptrend:
- Ethereum (ETH): +21% this week
- Solana (SOL): +9%
- Bitcoin dominance is falling, signaling capital rotation into altcoins
These conditions may indicate the start of a new altseason — a strong upward cycle for alternative cryptocurrencies.
Technical Outlook and Next Levels
- The breakout above $3.40 confirms strong buying pressure
- Upcoming resistance levels: $3.65 to $3.80
- Traders should watch for volume spikes and potential price corrections after the surge
Reaching a new all-time high after 7 years cements XRP as one of the most significant assets in the crypto market in 2025. The combination of institutional adoption, technical breakout, and global ranking advancement fuels XRP’s growth narrative and real-world utility.
U.S. Congress Approves Historic Crypto Legislation
Source: Coin Edition
On July 17, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed three key proposals that could reshape the country’s cryptocurrency landscape:
- GENIUS Act (stablecoin regulation)
- CLARITY Act (regulatory framework for digital assets)
- Bill banning the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
This vote marks the first major federal regulatory milestone in the U.S. focused exclusively on the crypto market.
GENIUS Act: Clear Rules for Stablecoins
The GENIUS Act introduces strict requirements for the issuance and operation of stablecoins:
- 100% backing by liquid assets
- Ban on issuance by unauthorized companies
- Regular audits and regulatory transparency
- Issuance allowed only by licensed banks or institutions
Passed with a vote of 308 in favor and 122 against, the bill now heads to the President for signing. To fast-track its approval, it was included in the National Defense Authorization Act.
CLARITY Act: Legal Framework for Crypto Assets
Also passed in the same session, the CLARITY Act aims to define:
- Which digital assets are considered securities
- Which assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight
- Standards for token issuance, trading, and custody
The bill now moves to the Senate and is seen as a crucial step toward legal certainty for the U.S. crypto market.
Anti-CBDC Bill: Congress Blocks State-Issued Digital Dollar
The third bill prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar (CBDC).
Lawmakers say the goal is to protect citizens’ financial freedom and privacy, preventing government surveillance via public blockchain systems.
Why This Matters for the Crypto Market
- Institutional Confidence: Companies and funds now have a clearer, more predictable regulatory environment.
- Capital Inflows: ETFs, banks, and platforms have stronger legal support to engage with stablecoins and tokens.
- Legal Clarity: These new rules protect consumers and support broader crypto adoption as financial infrastructure.
Immediate Market Impact
- Bitcoin surpassed $120,000 as markets reacted positively to the legislation.
- Ethereum and other altcoins also climbed, fueled by regulatory optimism.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $500 million in inflows in a single day — a sign of rising investor confidence.
Crypto Market Surpasses $4 Trillion, Driven by ETFs and U.S. Regulatory Breakthroughs

The global cryptocurrency market cap surpassed $4 trillion on July 18, 2025, according to CoinGecko.
This historic milestone was fueled by a combination of factors: Bitcoin’s surge, massive institutional capital inflows, and regulatory progress in the U.S.
- Bitcoin (BTC) hit $120,336 before pulling back to $118,673, with a market cap of $2.39 trillion.
- Ethereum (ETH) peaked at $3,647 before a slight dip to $3,610, with a market value of $440 billion.
Together, BTC and ETH now account for over 70% of the entire crypto market.
Bitcoin ETFs See Billions in Inflows
On the day U.S. crypto bills were approved, spot Bitcoin ETFs received $522 million in inflows.
Over the past two weeks, total inflows have exceeded $4 billion, according to data from Farside Investors.
This wave of investment highlights strong institutional appetite and signals that the market is positioning for a new bull cycle.
Altcoins on the Rise: Ethereum Gains Market Share
- Ethereum’s dominance rose from 9% to 11%,
- Bitcoin’s share dropped by 4 percentage points.
Analysts say this shift could mark the beginning of a new “altseason” — a cycle where alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin.
Analysts Caution: Possible Technical Correction Ahead
Despite the bullish momentum, experts at QCP Capital warn that Bitcoin could see a short-term correction to around $110,000 before resuming its upward trend.
That range is seen as a key technical support zone.
Why This Moment Matters for Crypto
Analysts believe crypto is finally solidifying its position as a global asset class, attracting major funds and institutional investors.
U.S. regulation could become a blueprint for other countries, helping bring greater maturity and stability to the sector.
