Tron (TRX) has recorded notable price gains over the past month, rising by nearly 20% in the past 30 days. Currently trading at around $0.3392, the asset has also posted a 1.5% gain in the past 24 hours. These developments occur amid growing on-chain activity, particularly driven by the increased use of the TRON network for Tether (USDT) transactions, positioning the blockchain as a major player in the stablecoin infrastructure space. One of the key observations has been the network’s sharp rise in USDT transaction volume. According to CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain, TRON processed over 8.29 million USDT transactions in the week ending August 3, 2025. This figure not only indicates heightened activity but also reveals the diversity of transaction sizes across the network. Transfers between $101 and $1,000 made up the largest proportion at 38.66%, with significant activity also observed in transactions exceeding $1,000. Related Reading: TRON Inc. Plans $1B Buyback of 3.1B TRX Tokens Amid Price Resilience at $0.33 TRON’s Dual Adoption: Retail and Institutional Activity on the Rise Arab Chain emphasized that this distribution highlights TRON’s appeal across different user groups. The presence of mid-sized transactions suggests usage by freelancers, online vendors, and remittance users. In contrast, the substantial number of larger transactions implies participation by institutional traders, high-net-worth individuals, and potentially corporate entities. The analyst also noted a decline in transactions below $10, suggesting a reduced reliance on micro-payments or testing activity and a pivot toward practical use cases. The growing use of TRON for real-world settlement purposes is reinforced by its infrastructure, which supports low-cost, high-volume stablecoin transactions. Unlike networks that cater predominantly to large institutional transfers, TRON’s environment facilitates both high-frequency and high-value transfers. Arab Chain stated that this makes TRON a core component in enabling digital commerce, payroll systems, and cross-border payments. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci linked TRX’s recent momentum to regulatory developments in the United States. On July 18, 2025, the US Congress passed the GENIUS Act, marking the first formal federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. Kesmeci noted that this legislation provides a clearer legal foundation for dollar-backed digital assets by establishing guidelines for anti-money laundering (AML), consumer protection, and financial stability. Post-GENIUS Act: TRON Expands USDT Dominance Following the passage of the GENIUS Act, TRON moved swiftly to expand its footprint. According to Kesmeci, approximately $1 billion worth of new USDT was minted on the TRON network shortly after the bill became law. This increased TRX’s share of the total circulating USDT supply to over 83 billion out of 163 billion, accounting for approximately 51% of all USDT in circulation. The analyst suggested that this reinforces TRON’s position as the leading blockchain for stablecoin transfers. The GENIUS Act may catalyze stablecoin adoption in the US, with TRON expected to benefit due to its efficiency in handling stablecoin transactions.

Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level after recovering from last week’s lows. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency is repeating past breakout playbooks, which could lead to a new high this quarter. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Targets $0.80 As Price Retests Key Level – Is An 85% Jump Ahead? Fourth Time’s The Charm? On Thursday, Ethereum retested the $3,850 level after recording a 6.3% surge in the daily timeframe. The surge was fueled by news of President Donald Trump’s alleged plan to sign an executive order that would allow private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets investments in 401(k) plans. The executive order would reportedly direct the Department of Labor (DOL) to revise the guidelines related to alternative asset investments in retirement plans, opening the doors to the $12.5 trillion industry. Notably, the King of Altcoins has been trading between the $3,400-$3,800 price range since the mid-July breakout, attempting to break out from the last “major resistance” zone three times during this period. Last week, ETH surged to a seven-month high of $3,941, briefly trading above the key resistance zone before retracing to its local range. The start-of-August correction saw the cryptocurrency retreat to the range lows, retesting the $3,350-$3,400 area as support. Ethereum attempted to reclaim the range highs as this week started, trading in the $3,600-$3,700 mid-zone for the past three days. However, today’s pump saw the second-largest crypto surge past the $3,800 area and retest the $3,850 local resistance. Following its recent performance, analyst Alex Clay considers that ETH’s correction “seems to be over.” He highlighted an 18-month descending broadening wedge on the daily chart, affirming that a “breakout is imminent” as the cryptocurrency neared the formation’s upper boundary. Ethereum To Hit New Highs Soon Analyst Ted Pillows affirmed that ETH is “just one bullish candle away from a major breakout,” highlighting the similarities between its May-June setup and its current one. Following the May breakout, Ethereum traded within its local range, failing to break above the $2,700 resistance multiple times before its June bull and bear traps. Following the fake-out and retest of the lows, the cryptocurrency broke out of its range and hit a new yearly high in the following weeks. Similarly, ETH has been trading within its current range after the July breakout, as the analyst’s chart shows, retesting the local resistance before the late July bull trap. After the early August bear trap, the King of Altcoins is now retesting the $3,850-$3,900 area. A breakout from this zone could propel the price above the $4,000 barrier if history repeats. Based on this, the analyst suggested that a $5,000 target is possible before the quarter ends. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that the Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) has surged above the 12% level in an uptrend for the first time in five years. Related Reading: Solana To Drop Before The ‘Real Move’? Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 He noted that the last time ETHDOM rallied to this area was in July 2020, when it consolidated between the 12% to 16% zone for months before breaking out in 2021. According to the analyst, ETHDOM is now challenging to transition into a similar consolidation phase. As of this writing, ETH trades at $3,826 in the one-week chart, a 48% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin’s recent price action has drawn renewed attention as the asset attempts to rebound from last week’s decline. Following its July peak above $123,000, BTC experienced a downturn, hitting lows around $112,000 over the weekend. However, the latest data now suggest a gradual recovery in progress, with the cryptocurrency trading above $116,000 at the time of writing. Despite this modest rebound, some analysts are warning that underlying market sentiment could be pointing to a potential correction. Recent insights from contributors on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform highlight signs of increasing optimism among traders, particularly on Binance. The balance between long and short positions is showing a distinct bias toward the long side, a pattern historically associated with short-term reversals. Related Reading: US Delay On Bitcoin Audit Is A Bullish Red Flag, Says Strike CEO Sentiment Indicators Raise Red Flags on Binance CryptoQuant analyst BorisVest recently discussed how sentiment on Binance, based on long-short positioning, has shifted notably into positive territory. According to BorisVest, the platform’s sentiment metric has shown a surge in long positions as BTC moved from $112,000 to $115,000. He noted that such spikes often coincide with price corrections. “The clustering of green bars in the sentiment chart suggests that traders are increasingly expecting prices to rise. However, excessive optimism tends to be countered by market corrections,” he explained. The analyst added that Binance, given its dominant share in trading volume, provides valuable insight into broader trader behavior. When the long position concentration grows during price increases, it may indicate a potential round of profit-taking. BorisVest stated that a meaningful correction would likely require BTC to fall below the $110,000 mark, which could offer more favorable re-entry points for buyers while restoring balance to the market structure. Bitcoin Leverage Data Shows Mixed Signals for Recovery In a related post, another CryptoQuant analyst, Arab Chain, examined the ongoing decline in Binance’s leverage ratio. Typically, a reduction in leverage is interpreted as a signal that overleveraged traders are exiting the market, thereby reducing volatility and risk of forced liquidations. “Lower leverage suggests less speculative behavior in the short term,” Arab Chain noted, “which often contributes to more stable price action.” Related Reading: Japanese Financial Giant SBI Moves Forward With Bitcoin-XRP ETF Application However, Arab Chain also pointed out that both leverage and price have been falling in tandem, which may reflect weak demand from spot buyers. This combination indicates that the recent downturn lacks sufficient buying support, raising concerns about the strength of Bitcoin’s current recovery.

The US markets have seen a surge of digital coins. Millions of Americans now hold tokens in their wallets. Blocking all of it suddenly would be nearly impossible. At the same time, leaving this sector with no rules puts everyday investors in harm’s way. Related Reading: Bitcoin Insult Alert: Pro Trader Dubs HODLers ‘Idiots,’ Saylor Fires Back Why Ban Is Off The Table According to Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine, outright banning crypto is off the table. He points out that tens of millions of people own digital assets today. Pulling the plug now would ripple through trading platforms, payment apps, and even major Wall Street firms. Levine argues that such a move would simply drive innovation and jobs offshore. Hostile Past Still Looms Under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, most tokens were treated as stocks. That meant they needed to register under securities laws—a process that almost no project could clear. In practice, that stance rendered crypto “illegal” in the US. Many developers and investors felt shut out. Matt Levine: “We will ban crypto” is no longer feasible for the SEC, and “we will ignore crypto because it’s not a security so not our problem” is not very attractive for the SEC. The only choice left is “we will regulate crypto, but in a way that you like. pic.twitter.com/hBFXTmMnh5 — Sar Haribhakti (@sarthakgh) August 7, 2025 According to analysts, crypto serves two purposes: it powers networks and it offers investment chances. That split role creates regulatory headaches. Many tokens act much like shares in a company, yet they also run on open software and community rules. The SEC knows how to protect stock investors, but digital coins need different safeguards. Project Crypto Signals Change Current SEC Chair Paul Atkins launched “Project Crypto” this year. The goal is to carve out faster, clearer paths for token registration. Projects that truly function as securities could follow a new, streamlined process. At the same time, tokens used mainly for network services would face lighter requirements. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains ‘Undefeatable’, Tether Chief Says Levine warns that drawing clear lines won’t be easy. How do you tell a governance token from a pure utility token? What level of disclosure makes sense when code can update itself overnight? Those questions will test regulators and industry alike.

In a bold move that could reshape the crypto landscape, the US President is reportedly preparing to sign an executive order aimed at protecting access to BTC and digital assets. If enacted, this landmark policy would redefine the relationship between digital assets and the US financial system. Bitcoin Steps Into The Political Spotlight Bitcoin has officially entered the hall of power, as the US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order that would prohibit banks from refusing services to Bitcoin and crypto-related companies. This move signals a major shift in the US policy and ends years of financial censorship against the crypto industry. Related Reading: Strategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings With Massive Third-Largest Acquisition According to a crypto enthusiast, Henry, with this impending order, the crypto industry appears to be getting serious respect from the White House, after years of regulatory uncertainty and political pushback. In the coming days, Henry suggests that positive developments are on the horizon, especially involving Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This kind of attention from the highest levels of government could shake up the entire market and trigger a wave of institutional interest and volatility. If this happens, it would be more than just good news, as it would be a game-changer. Not only could it act as a major catalyst for BTC, it would also open the doors for crypto businesses to access traditional financial services, which they need for growth. Bitcoin is gaining recognition among the highest forms of governments across the world. Reports show that the Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is exploring the possibility of adding Bitcoin to the country’s national reserves, according to a recent post from Bitcoin Indonesia. The move represents a bold step toward integrating digital assets into sovereign finance. If implemented, Indonesia would become one of the first major Asian economies to formally recognize BTC as a reserve asset, signaling a shift in how governments hedge against inflation, currency risk, and geopolitical uncertainty. The global spotlight is increasingly turning to crypto adoption at the state level. The Bhutan Government Moves $59.2 Million In BTC Several countries are engaging BTC globally at a rapid rate. In a significant and quietly executed move, the government of Bhutan has transferred 517 BTC, valued at approximately $59.2 million, to a new cryptocurrency wallet. This substantial transfer of BTC, reported by Crypto Rover on X, has sparked speculation among analysts and the crypto community about potential custody changes or strategic moves.  Related Reading: Bitcoin’s $115K Struggle: Is a Deeper Drop on the Horizon?
