The post Crowd Sentiment Flips Bullish As Bitcoin Reclaims $64K—and That’s Usually A Warning appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Retail traders have changed their minds four times in a single month, and the latest swing is raising eyebrows. Bitcoin’s bounce from $58.1K to the $64.1K area has flipped the crowd’s mood to “higher” again, according to the Santiment update. The speed of the reversal is the story, not the price level itself. In early June participants were calling for lower prices. Mid-June flipped to bullish. Late June turned fearful after the dip. Now they are back to expecting upside. Chart watchers will note that every time the crowd got loud about direction this month, the market did something else. That is the mechanic Santiment is pointing toward—a counter-signal tendency where strongly unanimous social expectations tend to precede reversals or stalls. It does not promise a top, but it does suggest the herd is arriving late to the move. Why the “Lower vs. Higher” Cha
The post Metaplanet to Rebrand Shibo Securities as Metaplanet Securities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Metaplanet plans to rename Shibo Securities as it expands its Bitcoin-focused financial business. The brokerage will support Bitcoin-based financial products through the BTC x Finance platform. CEO Simon Gerovich says the acquisition is the first step in Metaplanet’s Project Nova. Metaplanet is moving ahead with the integration of its newly acquired brokerage business after confirming plans to rename Shibo Securities to Metaplanet Securities. The proposed change, which requires shareholder approval at a meeting scheduled for July 13, marks the next step in the company’s effort to expand its Bitcoin-focused financial operations in Japan. The firm acquired the licensed brokerage for 2.1 billion yen (about $13 million) and plans to use it to develop Bitcoin-based financial products for retail investors. If shareholders approve the name change, the rebranded brokerage will become
The post Bitcoin Slips Below $62K as US-Iran Ceasefire Collapse Rattles Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin News Bitcoin (BTC) slid below $62,000 after the US-Iran ceasefire collapsed, pulling the largest cryptocurrency down roughly 2.5% on the day. Sellers returned to Bitcoin once President Donald Trump declared the truce with Tehran was, in his words, over, during a press conference at the NATO summit in Ankara. The asset had traded above $64,000 only hours earlier before the risk-off wave took hold. Traders trimmed exposure across risk assets as geopolitical uncertainty resurfaced, and market watchers flagged a daily close under $62,000 as the trigger that would open the door toward the $60,000 zone. For a primer, see Bitcoin. The escalation reverberated fastest through energy markets. US WTI crude oil pushed past $75 per barrel, its highest level since June 22, after having traded under $67.50 on hopes that regional tensions would cool. Those hopes reversed sharply
The post Schwab Strategist Backs Strategy’s STRC Playbook Amid Bitcoin Weakness appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strategy remains under pressure as Bitcoin hovers near $60,000, but recent capital moves have bought the company time, according to Jim Ferraioli, director of crypto research and strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. Speaking on Morning Trade Live at the New York Stock Exchange, Ferraioli said the firm led by Michael Saylor faces scrutiny while the price of Bitcoin sits 50% below its peak. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has funded much of its buying through preferred equity, including its variable-rate Stretch preferred stock, known as STRC. That product fell near $70 from its $100 par value before a rebound. To defend the peg, Strategy raised the STRC dividend to 12% and authorized $2 billion in buybacks while unlocking further Bitcoin sales. The stock has since started climbing back toward par. “The market is supportive of these act

The post Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade Targets 200 Million Gas Limit Ahead of Q3 Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum News Ethereum (ETH) is weeks away from Glamsterdam, its first major base-layer throughput overhaul since 2022 and the largest network change since The Merge. The upgrade rewrites how the network assembles blocks and, according to developer estimates, lifts the gas limit from roughly 60 million to about 200 million, a threefold jump. Projected throughput reaches up to 10,000 transactions per second, with gas fees potentially 78 percent lower. Devnet-5 and Devnet-6 are already live, and an internal mainnet target sits in late August, though Q3 2026 remains the realistic window after the ePBS delay. As an altcoin catalyst, it is drawing surprisingly little attention. The muted reaction is remarkable given how far the price has fallen. Ethereum trades near $1,730, a level last seen in March 2023, after shedding 65 percent from its August 2025 record. That dra
The post Paradigm Raises $1.2 Billion AI Fund, Keeps Bitcoin Bets Alive appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto News Paradigm, one of the crypto industry’s largest venture investors, has raised $1.2 billion for a new fund dedicated to artificial intelligence and robotics — its most explicit push yet beyond digital assets. The vehicle, the firm’s third venture fund, closed on Wednesday and signals a broadening strategy rather than a retreat from crypto. Managing partner Alana Palmedo described digital assets as the firm’s first frontier and still a compelling market, while acknowledging that developments elsewhere in technology had become too significant to ignore. The raise lands as Bitcoin trades near $62,000, down sharply on the year, underscoring how capital is rotating toward AI across the broader altcoin market. Founded in 2018 by Matt Huang, a former Sequoia Capital partner, and Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Paradigm built its reputation backing protocol-level crypto proje
