The CLARITY Act awaits Senate consideration in September, with Senator Tim Scott saying he expects 12 to 18 Democrats to back the market structure bill.
Justin Bons, the founder and CIO of Cyber Capital, has issued a stark warning about Bitcoin’s (BTC) future, predicting that the world’s largest cryptocurrency could collapse in the coming years. The crypto founder has cited Bitcoin’s declining security model and shrinking block rewards as some of the indicators of this seemingly inevitable crash. Bitcoin Forecasted To Collapse Within 7-11 Years This week, the crypto community was shaken by a striking prediction from Bons, who warned that Bitcoin could face a catastrophic collapse within the next decade. According to an X social media post released by the Cyber Capital founder, the foundations of Bitcoin’s security model are fundamentally broken, and the decline of mining revenue will eventually leave the network increasingly vulnerable to attacks. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Crypto Market To Crash? Analyst’s August-September Prediction Bons projected that Bitcoin’s downfall could occur precisely between 7 and 11 years, when the block rewards diminish to levels that can no longer sustain miner incentives. His reasoning is rooted in the economics of the Bitcoin protocol, which relies on a declining block subsidy over time. By 11 years from now, the reward is expected to fall to just 0.39 BTC per block, translating to roughly $2.3 billion annually at current prices. This figure, the crypto founder argues, is nowhere near enough to protect Bitcoin’s multi-trillion-dollar market capitalization. Bons also shared two charts to reinforce his claims. The first shows mining revenue in sharp decline relative to previous years, demonstrating Bitcoin’s reliance on subsidy rather than transaction fees. The second chart reveals how the annual security budget as a percentage of market cap has fallen consistently over the years, shrinking from over 8% in 2015 to barely above 1% in 2025. The Cyber Capital CIO also pointed out that while other chains like Ethereum have successfully transitioned toward greater fee-based security, Bitcoin has failed to adapt, leaving its miners increasingly dependent on dwindling rewards. According to his post, the consequences of this are dire. As mining becomes unprofitable, he predicts that the network’s security could simultaneously decline, opening the door to censorship, 51% attacks, and eventual chain splits. If core developers respond by raising the supply cap beyond 21 million, Bons forecasts that this could fracture the community and destroy Bitcoin’s narrative of digital scarcity. He warned that relying on a system that demands perpetual price doubling to maintain its security forever is nothing short of “madness.” Community Pushes Back Against BTC Crash Claims Unsurprisingly, Bon’s foreboding forecast has sparked intense debate and contrasting views throughout the crypto community. Many members pushed back, acknowledging the concerns about a shrinking security budget but challenging the inevitability of a Bitcoin collapse.

Others suggested alternative mechanisms, such as MEV capture, sidechain fees, or even institutional miners operating at a loss to keep the network alive. One community member raised the possibility of emergency measures like tail emissions or block size increases, citing Monero’s ongoing debate about similar solutions. Bons conceded that a tail emission might keep the chain alive but insisted it would come at the cost of Bitcoin’s core value proposition, which is fixed scarcity. In his view, such a compromise would leave BTC unable to compete against more adaptive blockchains. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

SUI is showing signs of strength as it defends the $3.50–$3.60 support zone, carving out a rounded bottom formation. With bullish momentum slowly building, the altcoin eyes a potential 13% breakout toward $4.60 if the setup holds. SUI Holds Firm At $3.60: Signs Of Early Recovery Emerge According to a recent X post, analyst Gemxbt shared his perspective on SUI’s 1-hour chart, pointing to signs of a potential recovery after the market found footing at the $3.60 support level. According to Gemxbt, the price has managed to stabilize, currently consolidating around $3.64, which suggests that buyers are beginning to show interest after the recent dip. Related Reading: SUI Set Up For Another Leg? Analyst Forecasts $10 Target For Potential Breakout Gemxbt further highlighted the moving averages, noting that the 5MA has crossed above the 10MA, a signal often associated with the early stages of bullish momentum. Adding to the technical picture, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has settled around the neutral 50 zone, reflecting a balance between buying and selling pressure. This signals that the market has yet to tilt decisively in favor of the bulls or bears, leaving room for volatility as traders wait for direction. Finally, he noted that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) had recently shown a bullish crossover, another encouraging sign of upward momentum. However, he cautioned that volume remains low, which makes it premature to call this a confirmed trend reversal. For now, the setup looks constructive, but further confirmation is needed before declaring that a stronger rally is underway. Rounded Bottom Formation Strengthens At $3.50–$3.55 Zone In his recent 4-hour chart analysis posted on X, Ascend.sui drew attention to SUI’s current price structure, noting that the token is shaping a rounded bottom around the $3.50–$3.55 zone. This level has historically acted as a strong demand area, making it a critical foundation for any bullish momentum to build from. Related Reading: Crypto Bears In Control: SUI Below Key MAs, FARTCOIN Forms Lower Lows—What’s Next? He explained that if this base continues to hold, it could serve as the launchpad for a significant upside move. Based on his projections, a recovery of more than 13% is possible, bringing its price near the $4.60 mark by late August, roughly within the next six days. Ascend.sui also emphasized the strength of the bullish setup, describing it as a “stealthy formation” that could catch traders off guard. Still, he cautioned that confirmation is key. For the pattern to fully validate, SUI would need to reclaim the $3.70 level with conviction. Once that level is cleared, the breakout thesis gains stronger credibility, opening the path toward higher price targets. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has just dropped below $3, but the market may not be as bearish as it looks. The price fell into the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level at $2.96, a significant support zone. The wick to $2.94, which matched the 0.618 subwave target, quickly reversed and reclaimed $2.96. This fast recovery is classic behavior often seen when a market finds its bottom. According to market analyst Casi Trades, the current setup could open the door for XRP to stabilize and possibly aim for higher targets, with levels like $4.80 already on the radar. XRP Holds Strong At $2.96 Support XRP’s latest price action delivered exactly what technical analysts were waiting for. Adding even more weight to the case for a bottom is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI printed bullish divergence on both the 15-minute and the 1-hour charts. While prices were falling, the RSI showed higher lows, signaling momentum was shifting in favor of buyers. Combined with the clear 5-wave downward move on the chart, Casi Trades believes this confirms that XRP has completed its correction phase. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes 1,000% Increase To Reach $2.55 ATH This Cycle The analyst explained that the drop into $2.96, followed by an immediate bounce, shows that the market “was hunting for a bottom, and XRP delivered.” The combination of Fibonacci levels, divergence signals, and clean wave structure makes this support zone one of the most important in the current cycle. Bullish Outlook And Upside Targets Now that XRP has hit and held the $2.96 support, traders focus on the next phase. Casi Trades noted that XRP may linger around this level or retest it again, but its holding is already a positive sign. The market analyst expects large-cap cryptocurrencies, including XRP, to lead the next wave of gains. With support confirmed, attention is now shifting to upside targets. The most critical one mentioned is $4.80, but the analyst believes the momentum could carry XRP even higher if conditions remain favorable. Related Reading: Market Expert Reveals Why XRP Price At $1,000 Is Not A Possibility This bullish outlook is fueled not just by XRP’s chart but also by broader market conditions. Large caps tend to move together when sentiment improves, and XRP holding its ground at $2.96 is a signal of strength. “From these support lows across the market, I expect things to turn exciting and bullish,” Casi Trades commented. If the impulsive upside resumes, XRP’s recovery from this support zone could mark the beginning of a strong upward leg. For now, all eyes remain on the $2.96 level. As long as XRP holds above it, the case for a bullish rally stays strong. The market setup points to higher prices, whether it takes off immediately or after a brief consolidation. With the potential for a run toward $4.80 and beyond, XRP’s sharp drop may have just set the stage for its next big move. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, inflows into crypto-products were $3.75 billion last week, the fourth-largest on record. Unsurprisingly, Ethereum was the standout after attracting the majority of capital with record-breaking inflows. Solana and XRP also experienced impressive demand, resulting in both cryptocurrencies receiving inflows exceeding 10% of the year-to-date total flows. Ethereum’s Record-Breaking Numbers Ethereum witnessed the most activity last week since the 2021 bull run that took many crypto investors by surprise. In terms of crypto-based products, Ethereum managed to displace Bitcoin’s supremacy last week by leading with $2.87 billion in inflows, representing 77% of the total $3.75 billion. This performance brought its year-to-date inflows to $11.094 billion, which is about 29% of total Ethereum assets under management. Related Reading: Here’s Why Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Are Crashing The intensity of institutional demand had an immediate impact on Ethereum’s market price action. Notably, the Ethereum price surged to $4,776 last week, its highest level since the 2021 bull market. In terms of geographical location, most of the inflows came from the United States, with $3.725 billion in inflows, more than 99% of the total. This concentration was mostly by iShares ETFs. Smaller but meaningful contributions came from Canada with $33.7 million, Hong Kong with $20.9 million, and Australia with $12.1 million. On the other hand, Brazil and Sweden posted outflows of $10.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively. Although Bitcoin also managed to push to a new all-time price high of $124,128 last week, the leading cryptocurrency took a step back in institutional inflows. Bitcoin brought in $552 million last week. Although its year-to-date inflows are larger in absolute terms at $21.08 billion, they represent only 11.6% of its total assets under management (AuM), compared to Ethereum’s 29%. XRP And Solana Join The Party Although Ethereum captured most of the inflows, both Solana and XRP also attracted notable inflows that show the altcoins are gaining strength among institutional investors, despite the absence of spot crypto ETFs for these assets in the US market. Related Reading: Ethereum Falls Behind Solana In Major Metric, Is Altcoin Season At Risk? Solana-based products recorded $176.5 million, bringing its monthly flows to $199.2 million and its year-to-date figure to $1.05 billion. Effectively, this means that Solana-based products witnessed 89% of their total monthly inflow and 16.8% of their year-to-date inflow last week. XRP witnessed about $125.9 million worth of inflows last week, boosting its monthly total to $148.1 million and its 2025 total to $1.238 billion. As such, XRP-based products also witnessed 85% of their total monthly inflow and 10% of their year-to-date inflow last week. Sui, Cardano, Chainlink, and Short Bitcoin products also witnessed $11.3, $0.8 million, $1.2 million, and $4 million in inflows, respectively, last week. The only major exception was Litecoin, which diverged from the broader trend and recorded net outflows of $400,000. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
