This week in crypto looks like the classic still waters running deep  – nothing seemed to be happening, yet, everything was happening all at once

Post Feature Image

From institutions sneaking into crypto conversations, the FBI searching the home of crypto bosses, and governments making backroom bets on crypto, here are the stories some people don’t want you to read. 

Welcome to the wildest ride in the crypto.

Bitcoin takes centre stage ₿

In the spotlight, Bitcoin continues to dominate the charts, attracting institutions like moths to a flame. With BTC dominance at a staggering 51%, the highest it has been in two years, it's clear that institutional players are ready to ride the crypto wave. 

In the news 📰 

Predictions 🔮 

We predict the Grayscale lawsuit will become a significant signal between August and September, potentially impacting Bitcoin's price. Read our latest BTC digest for more details.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠  

We consider this year the year of Bitcoin and recommend closely monitoring the ETF situation. The SEC engaging in a dialogue with these providers is a positive sign that increases the likelihood of acceptance.

There’s more to crypto than Bitcoin 🧮

But the unfolding drama in crypto this week didn’t end with Bitcoin. Enter the game-changing phenomenon of liquid staking, where investors are chasing yields on their Ether.

In the news 📰 

Predictions 🔮 

LSD-Fi will be the next significant wave in the crypto industry. You can read why we are sticking our neck out for the sector here.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠 

Liquid staking is one of the most promising sectors in crypto right now, and there is fierce competition among providers to onboard DAOs and prominent players. Frax stands out as a promising winner with its higher ETH yield, and V2 upgrade in the pipeline.

Institutions embrace crypto, but do governments feel the same way? 🏛️

As the crypto scene sizzles, governments around the world are caught in a love-hate relationship with this disruptive technology.

In the news 📰  

The tensions in the United States continue to rise:

  • Binance faces a crisis as senior executives resign over CEO Changpeng Zhao's response to the Justice Department investigation.
  • According to a New York Times report, the FBI searched the home of former Kraken CEO Jesse Powell.
  • DeFi protocol BarnBridge is under investigation by the SEC.

On the other hand, other countries support crypto and view it as an opportunity, with three key players standing out.

Predictions 🔮 

We predict that Binance will be expelled from the United States, but it will be able to continue its operations internationally. Learn why!

Cryptonary’s take 🧠 

While the United States maintains a seemingly hostile stance towards crypto, the UK, Hong Kong, and the UAE, among others, are attracting companies and high-net-worth individuals. 

Crypto is the future of money. These countries are placing bets that might shift the global balance on finance at the expense of Washington.

And until we bring you another crypto news round-up next Friday, stay winning!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
