Bitcoin is holding steady at $113,000, down 0.8% over the week. The key support level is $109,000: breaking through it could trigger a correction in the cryptocurrency market, especially in the altcoin segment.
Meanwhile, Binance has resumed futures trading after a brief hiatus, restoring investors’ access to an important hedging tool.
In the spotlight: regulatory changes and ETFs
The US SEC is preparing a new scheme for simplified listing of ETPs (ETF-like products) — similar to classic ETFs under the 1940 law. This could pave the way for ETFs on Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and others.
XRP has lost investor interest despite positive news (victory over the SEC, launch in the UAE, and partnership with Gemini). Technical analysis points to a possible further decline.
Litecoin may attract attention amid rumors of an ETF launch — and although the project’s capitalization is large, moderate growth is possible.
The novelty of the week is Layer Brett (LBRETT). It is a meme coin with a utility basis (Ethereum Layer 2). It raised over $1.4 million in presales, promising staking bonuses of up to 1,500%. Analysts are discussing the potential for multiple growth.
ETH funds received $1.3 billion in investments in a week thanks to the Federal Reserve’s soft stance. This is a continuation of the inflow into ETH instruments: $3.7 billion has already been recorded since June, while Bitcoin funds are losing money.
There has been an increase in crypto treasuries — companies that buy crypto as a reserve. These big players hold about 1 million BTC, reducing availability on exchanges to below 15% for the first time since 2018, which is putting upward pressure on prices.
Outlook for the future: we expect steady growth provided the regulatory environment remains stable.
If the SEC approves the new ETF rules, it could trigger a powerful influx of institutional capital into assets such as Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and even utility-based memecoins such as Layer Brett.
Bitcoin will receive additional support when the Fed cuts rates, with the potential to grow to $150-160 thousand in the long term.

Fixygen has prepared an analysis of the cryptocurrency market for this week. After updating its historical high last week, Bitcoin spent the week in the range of ~$112–117 thousand, approaching $117 thousand by the end of Friday;
Ethereum remained around $4,600. The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market was approximately $3.97 trillion, with BTC accounting for 58.2% and ETH for 14.0%. The skew towards Bitcoin reflects the weakness of some altcoins (Altcoin Season Index ≈44/100). These figures are according to CoinMarketCap.
The market reacted to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech in Jackson Hole: a cautious hint of further rate cuts supported risk assets — BTC and large altcoins rebounded after morning weakness.
At the beginning of the week, there were net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs (several consecutive days of withdrawals), which intensified the correction after August’s ATH. Towards the end of the week, there was a noticeable net inflow of ~$287 million into spot ETFs — the first after a four-day series of outflows.

What to watch next week
Today, cryptocurrency markets attracted attention: Bitcoin set a new historical high, exceeding $124,000, while Ethereum approached a record level, trading near $4,780.
According to Reuters, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $124,002.49, driven by active institutional investment, expectations of monetary policy easing by the Federal Reserve, and favorable regulatory steps by the US administration.
Confirming this trend, MarketWatch reports that Bitcoin’s growth is supported by growing investor interest and has gone against the strengthening of the dollar, with the country taking a more loyal stance towards cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, Ethereum is also showing steady growth, trading at $4,780.04, approaching its record highs of 2021. According to Aldía News, Ethereum jumped from around $4,220 at the start of trading last week to highs of around $4,790, just shy of its all-time high of $4,866.
The cryptocurrency boom continues to accelerate: Bitcoin is up ~30% since the start of the year, consolidating above $124,000. Ethereum is keeping pace, almost reaching its all-time high.
Institutional investments, ETFs, favorable regulatory steps, and expectations of interest rate cuts are the main factors driving the current momentum.
The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of resilience and recovery by the end of July 2025. Global crypto market capitalization remains above $2.5 trillion, with investors cautiously optimistic amid expectations of looser monetary policy in the U.S. and increased institutional inflows.
Key indicators (as of July 29, 2025):
Bitcoin (BTC): $60,820 (+3.2% month-to-date)
Ethereum (ETH): $3,415 (+5.9%)
BNB (Binance Coin): $546 (+4.4%)

Ripple (XRP): $0.64 (+2.3%)
Key Trends in July:
BTC Stabilization — After dipping below $58,000 in June, Bitcoin stabilized above $60,000, supported by easing U.S. inflation and growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in the fall.
Rising Interest in Altcoins — Ethereum benefited from progress on the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. Solana and Avalanche gained on announcements of major DeFi integrations.
Regulatory Signals — In the U.S., the SEC and CFTC continue their jurisdictional tug-of-war, but sentiment has improved following the approval of new crypto ETFs. In the EU, the MiCA regulation took effect, enhancing transparency.
Focus on AI and Web3 Tokens — Investor interest remains strong in tokens related to artificial intelligence, metaverse, and Web3 infrastructure. Top performers include Fetch.ai, Render, and Near Protocol.
Risks and Volatility:
Possible correction in August if the U.S. dollar strengthens
Risk of cyberattacks — July saw 7 major DeFi protocol breaches totaling over $170 million
Market sensitivity to regulatory decisions, especially from the SEC
Analyst Outlook:
According to analysts from Glassnode, CoinShares, and Messari:
– BTC could reach $65,000 by mid-August if U.S. labor market data weakens and the dollar index declines.
– ETH is likely to maintain its upward trend, particularly with continued growth in DeFi and NFT sectors.
– Altcoins focused on AI and Layer-2 solutions have potential upside of 15–20% over the next month.
– The total crypto market cap could reach $2.7 trillion by September under favorable macro conditions.
Conclusion:
The end of July marks a recovery phase for the crypto market after its summer downturn. Investors are focusing on fundamentally strong projects and infrastructure tokens. While volatility remains, market sentiment is positive, assuming the Fed maintains a dovish stance and global markets remain politically stable.
