Cryptocurrency News Today: Market Updates & Analysis podcast.Hey everyone, it’s Crypto Willy here—your guy-next-door blockchain aficionado—serving up this week’s freshest crypto scoop as we rocket through late July 2025!First up, let’s talk markets. Crypto is still humming with bullish vibes, thanks to new institutional money pouring in and some real Web3 action picking up. If you’ve been eyeing the top coins, Bitcoin is hogging the spotlight, chilling comfortably above the $117,000 mark. That’s not just numbers—Bitcoin now counts as one of the world’s largest assets, only a hair behind the tech giants like Google and Amazon. The real kicker? The launch of the BTC ETF keeps luring in more traditional finance cash, fueling that relentless climb.Ethereum, meanwhile, turned on the afterburners this week. Ether is up about 12% over the last five days, and the fuel here is institutional: SharpLink Gaming now holds more ETH than the Ethereum Foundation itself, which is a real plot twist for DeFi purists. Solana’s surging too, smashing multi-month highs and helping bring NFT markets back to life—CryptoPunks and Bored Apes’ floor prices shot up, making collectors and degens equally thrilled.Politics powered a lot of the energy, with President Trump hot off signing the GENIUS Act—America’s first real stablecoin law. This act hands control of stablecoins to the Treasury and demands every coin be backed 1:1 by dollars or treasuries—a big boost for the U.S. dollar and U.S. bonds. Trump even announced that 401(k)s could soon be allowed to dip into crypto. That’s squarely aimed at Wall Street and Main Street, and the market is loving it. Deutsche Bank’s Marion Laboure called it a move to secure the dollar’s spot as the world’s reserve currency, and the greenback did get a lift on the news, trimming most of its yearly losses.On the trading desks, risk appetite came in from all angles. Some heavy hitters rotated out of big names like Binance Coin and Ethereum, and into up-and-comers like Avalanche, Uniswap, and IOTA. DOGE—yep, everyone’s favorite meme coin—surged 39%, and Cardano cruised up over 20%, proving once again that altcoin seasons aren’t so much a trend now as lightning-fast microbursts. And with over 37 million cryptocurrencies floating around, according to Tangem, the landscape is getting wilder. Solana’s running the numbers game, generating an almost absurd stretch of new tokens through platforms like pump.fun. Good luck sorting gold from the gravel out there!Big picture, global politics are calming down, institutional trust is picking up, and Washington is finally sketching out a roadmap for digital assets and stablecoins. If you’re stacking your crypto for the long haul, top tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Dogecoin are all still at the forefront, but remember: this market can turn on a dime, so stay sharp.That’s the pulse for this week!
