Conversations across the crypto space are circling back to blue-chip tokens, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin taking the spotlight. Data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment shows that top market cap cryptocurrencies are dominating the surge in social chatter, with discussions ranging from institutional adoption and ETF speculation to technical barriers and ecosystem growth. Alongside them, Strategy, Tether, and MultiversX are also attracting strong attention.

Bitcoin And Ethereum Dominating Attention

Despite price resistance at $112,000 throughout last week, Bitcoin is still the most closely watched cryptocurrency by analysts and investors. According to on-chain analytics platform Santiment, Bitcoin is currently dominating among crypto investors thanks to extensive discussions about its long-term role as digital gold, a monetary network, and a hedge against inflation. Conversations focus heavily on its scarcity, institutional demand, and the importance of self-custody. Traders are also discussing Bitcoin’s liquidity in flash crypto offers that allow instant trading and spending across multiple platforms. 

Ethereum is trending, with mentions also tied to its role in flash tokens and its utility across wallets and decentralized platforms. ETH discussions are based on its transferability and use in trading, staking, and gaming, while institutions continue to accumulate large volumes. However, the Ethereum price is also facing technical struggles in breaking above $4,500, having been rejected at $4,480 multiple times in the past seven days.

Strategy And Dogecoin Also Generate Social Buzz

Strategy’s and its MicroStrategy ($MSTR) stock are also hot topics due to the company’s massive Bitcoin reserves and its reputation as a leveraged proxy for BTC exposure. Particularly, market chatter has picked up around its potential inclusion in the S&P 500, which could cause institutional buying and fund inflows. At the same time, discussions show that investors are debating whether MSTR shares or Bitcoin ETFs provide better exposure.

Unsurprisingly, the word “Dogecoin” is in the limelight due to multiple developments last week. Most of Dogecoin’s mentions are based on the upcoming Rex-Osprey Dogecoin ETF, which could become a historic first for Dogecoin ETFs in the US financial market. Furthermore, Trump-backed company Thumzup is expanding Dogecoin mining operations by adding 3,500 rigs. Despite choppy price action last week, Dogecoin managed to close above $0.21.

Tether ($USDT) also saw huge mentions last week after the company announced deeper investments into gold, with its reserves now exceeding $8.7 billion. The company aims to expand into mining, refining, and trading, with its CEO calling gold a natural bitcoin. Additionally, new token listings related to Tether are appearing on platforms like BitMart.

MultiversX ($EGLD), meanwhile, is facing a different kind of attention. Social discussions highlight concerns about dilution of its supply and the migration of projects to other chains like SUI, raising doubts about long-term use cases. However, there’s optimism on projects such as xPortal and xMoney, with hopes that buyback mechanisms and upcoming launches could bolster value.

Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer (PFE -0.45%) and Novo Nordisk (NVO -1.50%) have lagged the market over the past year, although Pfizer’s poor performance dates back much further. Though these companies have encountered challenges, there are good reasons to be bullish on their long-term prospects.

Pfizer could become an even bigger player in the oncology market (the largest therapeutic area in the industry by sales) over the next decade, while Novo Nordisk will be a major player in diabetes and the fast-growing weight management space. Both could produce excellent results along the way. Here’s the rundown.

Doctor talking to patient.

1. Pfizer

Pfizer’s financial results haven’t been great in recent years. To make matters worse, the company will face important patent cliffs by the end of the decade. One of them will be for Eliquis, an anticoagulant that is still one of its best-selling medicines. However, Pfizer has prepared for that eventuality.

The company made several acquisitions and licensing deals that significantly boosted its pipeline, especially in oncology. Pfizer spent $43 billion to acquire Seagen, a smaller cancer specialist whose lineup and pipeline were impressive for a company of its size. With the financial and strategic backing of the larger company, it should yield even more key approvals in the field in the coming years.

Pfizer also recently made an up-front payment of $1.25 billion to China-based 3SBio for the rights to SSGJ-707, an investigational bispecific antibody, a portion of the oncology market that’s gaining traction these days. 3SBio will be eligible for commercial and regulatory milestone payments of up to $4.8 billion, not including royalties.

These moves should eventually pay off for Pfizer and strengthen its position in oncology. The drugmaker plans to have eight blockbuster cancer medicines on the market by 2030, up from its current five, while doubling its reach from the current 1 million patients it serves. Of course, Pfizer isn’t just a cancer play. The company’s extensive pipeline should enable it to launch products in other areas and ultimately get back on track.

While its shares have been lagging the market significantly, that could change in the next decade as financial results rebound thanks to its innovative efforts. Pfizer’s shares look especially attractive when considering its valuation. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 8.7, much lower than the healthcare sector’s 15.8. From their current levels, Pfizer’s shares could go on to generate excellent returns through 2035.

2. Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk pioneered the market for weight management medicines. However, Eli Lilly seems to have taken the lead in that field, at least for now. Novo Nordisk has faced some clinical setbacks, leading to a poor performance over the trailing-12-month period. Can the company rebound and perform well in the next decade? In my view, it can, and the market may be significantly undervaluing its potential.

Its sales of Wegovy, one of the top-selling anti-obesity medications, continue to grow rapidly. Novo Nordisk recently requested approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for oral semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy). That’s good for patients who want a non-injected option, and helps counter Lilly’s up-and-coming oral GLP-1 medicine, orforglipron.

Elsewhere, Novo Nordisk recently started phase 3 studies for amycretin, a next-gen weight loss candidate. Amycretin is being investigated in both oral and subcutaneous formulations, and both are currently in late-stage clinical trials.

The company also enhanced its pipeline through licensing deals, including one with United Biotechnology, a subsidiary of the China-based company United Laboratories International Holdings, for UBT251. This potential anti-obesity medicine mimics the actions of three gut hormones: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. The transaction cost Novo Nordisk an up-front payment of $200 million and up to $1.8 billion in milestone payments.

Thanks to all these developments, Novo Nordisk should remain a leader in weight management in the next decade. Even though competition is mounting, no drugmaker not named Eli Lilly has a lineup or a pipeline as deep as Novo Nordisk’s. Furthermore, the Denmark-based pharmaceutical leader will also continue to dominate the diabetes market, as it has done for decades.

Novo Nordisk generates consistent revenue and earnings that typically grow faster than those of similarly-sized peers. Yet the stock’s forward P/E is 16.7, which is slightly above the industry average. In my view, that’s a bargain for a company that generates better-than-average results and has a deep pipeline in a fast-growing area — not to mention two of the world’s top 20 best-selling drugs, in Wegovy and Ozempic.

For investors willing to stay the course, Novo Nordisk’s future still looks incredibly bright.

Payment-centric cryptocurrency XRP

It has grown by more than 3.5% over the last 24 hours, and the amount of options markets placed on the Delivery Bit list suggests bullish expectations.

According to data source Amberdata, high-level July 25 call options on July 1, and September 28 expiration call on a $2.80 strike appeared as the most traded bets.

Most trading XRP options (Deribit/Amberdata) since July 1st

The call option grants the buyer the right to purchase the underlying asset at a given event price at a later date. This option represents a bullish view of the market. For example, the $3 Strike Call buyer bets that spot prices for XRP will surpass that level by July 25th. In Delibit, one option contract represents one XRP.

A closer look at the flow shows that the mass ranking of $3 calls is primarily due to purchase transactions. Over the past 24 hours, a $3 strike call saw a $2 million contract change hands in investor purchase transactions (The opposite market maker). Conversely, investors were primarily sellers or writers on a $2.8 call.

The $3 call is also the most popular bet in the past seven days in terms of increased open profits or increased number of active or open contracts.

According to Bloomberg analysts Eric Barkunas and James Sefert, increased activity on higher strike calls has resulted in a 95% chance that the US SEC will approve the SPOT XRP ETF, as expectations for a spot ETF debut in the US are tightening.

On Wednesday, Ripple, Fintech’s company that uses XRP to promote cross-border transactions, announced it had applied for a national banking license at the office of the Secretary of Currency. (occ).

“If approved, there are both states (via NYDFS) And federal government surveillance, new (And unique!) Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in X, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is a benchmark of trust in the Stablecoin market.”

XRP/BTC Breakout

Bitcoin for XRP, represented by the Binance-Listed XRP/BTC pair, is facing higher as it is divided from falling wedge patterns.

Falling wedges are bullish inversion patterns, featuring two convergent trend lines that show a narrow range of price movements. The convergence of the trendline suggests that sellers are slowly losing steam. Therefore, subsequent movements above the top trend line are said to confirm the control of the new bull.

XRP/BTC surpasses the top trend line, confirming a bullish breakout. This pattern shows that the correction from the April highs has ended and the broader XRP bullish trend has resumed.

Wedge breakouts show that the path with minimal resistance is on the higher side, but the average popularity, 50 days, 100 days, 200 days SMA disagrees.

Both the 50-day and 100-day SMAs are heading south, far worse than the 200-day SMAs recently. However, be aware that the moving average is behind and takes the back seat for a bullish wedge breakout.

With the near-passage of the GENIUS Act and a host of companies announcing stablecoin initiatives, stablecoin-related assets have been on a tear.
Circle, issuer of USDC, has seen its stock rise about 500% since its debut on June 5. This week, the company was valued at a staggering $77 billion, which is well above the total market cap of USDC itself (about $62 billion).

Bullish signals for stablecoins were all around:

jwp-player-placeholder

CRCL is now the most popular foreign stock in South Korea.
The leading stablecoin issuer, Tether, has so much spare cash it can afford to have a determinative stake in Juventus, an Italian soccer team.
Coinbase, which actually makes more money from USDC than Circle, has seen its stock rise to its highest level in four years.
Even Euro-backed stablecoins, long a forgotten cousin of USD coins, are surging. Combined, they’re up 44% on the year, led by Circle’s EURC.

Stablecoins are the “quiet winners” from prediction markets like Polymarket.
And so on.

Traditional payment giants, like Mastercard and Visa, have been responding to stablecoin mania by making a flood of announcements of their own. Mastercard announced new tie-ups with Moonpay, Chainlink and Kraken this week.

Amid all the stablecoin news, we still had space for plenty of other topics.

SEI surged as well (albeit on stablecoin news).
The Federal Reserve officially said crypto no longer carried “reputational risks” for banks, leaving them to provide all the financial services they want for crypto companies.
World Liberty Financial, the Trump family vehicle, reversed a promise to make its token non-transferable.

In the summer months, sometimes it can feel like nothing much is happening. Not this year; crypto doesn’t wait for anyone.

Legendary investor Steve Eisman is warning the public about the possible emergence of a “cartel” of major banks in the US, which he says could impact the cost of financial services.

The Wall Street veteran notes in a new interview with The Compound that there hasn’t been a wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the banking sector since the 1990s.

“It’s been very much discouraged post Dodd-Frank, so you’ve had very, very little M&A. But I actually think as a country we need [a wave of M&A]. And the reason why I say that is here’s an interesting statistic: in 2007, JPMorgan’s share of deposits in the United States was 7%, today it’s close to 14%. 

Now, there are a couple of reasons for that: number one is the cost of regulation is very, very high, and they can bear that more easily, and number two, which is probably even more important, is the cost of technology has exploded, and you need to be really big so you can pay for it.

So if we do nothing and we keep the current policies and there’s no M&A wave, what’s going to happen is JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and a handful of others will continue to take market share, the other regional banks are going to wither on the vine, and what you’ll have left is a couple of very, very large banks and some community banks.”

Eisman, whose bet against the housing market was famously profiled in parts of Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short,” says financial institutions like US Bank and Comerica should merge to compete with the giant firms.

“I don’t want to be Canada, where it’s basically a cartel, and so therefore those banks get to charge a lot more to customers.”

Data from the Strategic ETH Reserve shows that approximately 1,167,712 ETH, valued at nearly $2.96 billion, is currently designated as a strategic holding.

This figure represents 0.9674% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply, which is around 120.8 million ETH. While the percentage may appear modest, the scale of accumulation illustrates the growing institutional confidence in Ethereum as a long-term digital asset.

Meanwhile, 37 participants have been identified as strategic ETH holders.

The Ethereum Foundation, which holds 259,430 ETH, is at the top of the list. SharpLink Gaming, a NASDAQ-listed company (SBET), comes in second with 176,271 ETH.

It is followed by PulseChain Sac, which has 166,303 ETH; Coinbase, the largest US-based exchange, has 137,334 ETH in reserves.

The Golem Foundation, known for its decentralized computing ecosystem, rounds up the top five with 101,079 ETH in its reserves.

The top five holders control over 840,000 ETH in total. That means more than 72% of all strategically held Ethereum is concentrated among just a handful of organizations.

This level of consolidation signals both firm conviction in Ethereum’s long-term value and its rising importance in institutional portfolios.

Barry Silbert, Bittensor, and AI’s Next Frontier Dominate Headlines in Paris at Proof of Talk 2025
  • Breakthrough announcements by Yuma Group, peaq, Pulsar, Somnia, and Entravel set the tone at Proof of Talk 2025, where visionary discussions, like Silvio Micali’s tokenless Fiat Chain, pushed the boundaries of what’s next for AI and decentralized systems – from infrastructure to finance
  • More than 3,000 leaders from policy, finance, and blockchain gather for powerful conversations, key announcements, and groundbreaking initiatives in the heart of Paris

Returning to the historic Louvre Paris, Proof of Talk 2025 delivered its most impactful edition yet, welcoming over 3,000 attendees from across the globe for two days of high-level dialogue, transformative insights, and real-world action across DeAI, DeFi, tokenization, and beyond.

Proof of Talk once again proved itself as the forum where traditional finance, frontier tech, and decentralized builders converge to shape the future of global systems, with Barry Silbert making a highly anticipated return to the public stage after nearly five years away. In a headline-making panel with Mosaic Venture Partners’ David Lawee and former Forbes Senior Reporter Michael del Castillo, Silbert announced that Yuma Group will launch an asset management business focused on alpha token strategies. The initiative marks Silbert’s entry into the rapidly growing Bittensor ecosystem and is designed to give institutional investors streamlined access to high-potential teams and projects building across its subnets, potentially signaling a pivotal moment in Bittensor’s evolution.

Bittensor also took center stage at Proof of Talk 2025, with Co-founder Jacob Steeves delivering a standout keynote, “Satanic to Sublime: Aligning Human Potential Through Open-Ownership Protocols.” The mainstage was packed to the last seat, with attendees standing to hear his powerful vision for decentralized AI and open-ownership systems.

Some other standout announcements include Somnia, detailing how Sparkball, backed by $2M and developed by industry veterans, will leverage Somnia’s Layer 1 network to introduce on-chain wager mechanics and prize tournaments and transform the esports landscape; and Entravel launching EntravelX, the world’s first Telegram-native hotel booking app, tailored for the growing wave of crypto-savvy travelers.

Unveiled live at Day 2 of Proof of Talk 2025, peaq, the Machine Economy computer, and Pulsar Group, a leading Emirati advisory firm in tech and blockchain, also announced the launch of the world’s first Machine Economy Free Zone (MEFZ), set to roll out in Abu Dhabi and Dubai while legendary MIT professor and Algorand founder Silvio Micali took the main stage to unveil a bold new vision for blockchain: the Fiat Chain, a public, decentralized ledger that operates without a native cryptocurrency.

Zohair Dehnadi, Co-Founder and CEO of Proof of Talk, said:

“Proof of Talk 2025 has marked a milestone in bringing together visionary leaders and groundbreaking projects in the blockchain space. With announcements like Somnia’s ecosystem expansion and deep discussions on finance and tokenization, it’s clear that this industry is moving beyond innovation to become a core part of our digital future. We’re excited to keep driving this momentum.”

Over 700 industry-leading Web3 companies were present at Proof of Talk 2025, showcasing their latest innovations and thought leadership across one of the space’s most influential and curated exhibitions. Title sponsors included MEXC Ventures, the investment arm of the global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC, Unit Network, a decentralized financial ecosystem enabling trading of real-world and digital assets through tokenization, Somnia, a pioneer in immersive metaverse infrastructure; CertiK, the premier blockchain security firm; and General Tao and Tao Ventures, builders and investors in decentralized AI infrastructure, both recognised as thought leaders within the Bittensor ecosystem.

Wrapping up an inspiring two days of conversations and innovation, Proof of Talk 2025 culminated with the launch of the Top 50 Women in Web3 & AI initiative, in partnership with CoinDesk and TON Foundation, celebrating leading female innovators in blockchain and AI. The winners were recognised at an exclusive gala dinner, honoring excellence, leadership, and the power of representation in tech. Among them were Daniela Amodei, Co-founder and President of Anthropic; Anima Anandkumar, Bren Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the California Institute of Technology; and Betsabe Botaitis, Chief Financial Officer of Hedera. The launch highlighted the vital need for greater representation and recognition of women in tech’s fastest-growing fields.

With event highlights such as the Investor Dinner and Proof of Pitch Startup Competition and over 140 VCs joining from a16z, Pantera Capital, Arrington, Borderless, Animoca Brands, and Haun Ventures, alongside institutional heavyweights such as BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs, this years event made one thing clear: crypto is here to stay.

Following the success of the 2025 edition, Proof of Talk will return in 2026 with an expanded format and a continued commitment to hosting the most influential conversations in Web3 and beyond. For more information on future editions and partnership opportunities, visit: www.proofoftalk.io.

Everyday minnow Bitcoin holders control only a fraction of the top digital asset’s total circulating supply despite its vision of financial decentralization and autonomy.

According to a May 14 report from blockchain analytics firm Santiment, retail wallets holding less than 10 BTC collectively own just 3.47 million coins, equivalent to 17.5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. This group has approximately $358 billion worth of BTC in dollar terms.

A closer look at the distribution shows an even greater imbalance.

According to the firm, wallets with less than 1 BTC, typically representing smaller retail participants, account for under 7% of the total supply.

Large Bitcoin holders dominate

Meanwhile, Santiment’s analysis points to a strong Bitcoin concentration among wallets between 10 and 10,000 BTC.

According to the firm, this group controls over 68% of the total supply, equivalent to more than 13.5 million BTC. In dollar terms, their holdings are worth $1.39 trillion.

The group includes early adopters, institutional players, high-net-worth individuals, and centralized exchanges.

Within this cohort, wallets holding 100 to 1,000 BTC own around 23.5% of the supply, while those with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC account for an additional 22.8%.

Meanwhile, crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase also hold significant BTC. These exchange wallets have more than 7.4 million BTC, making them key drivers of market liquidity and price action.

Ethereum’s price has now found itself stuck below $2,000 in the past seven days, and it looks like it will continue here into the next few days with little sign of a significant recovery. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has struggled under downward pressure since early March, with sellers dominating the wider crypto market. 

Interestingly, recent technical analysis using Elliott Wave theory suggests that bearish dominance will continue for Ethereum into the foreseeable future. The analysis, posted on TradingView, highlights the formation of an ABC correction pattern, which could dictate Ethereum’s next major move.

Ethereum’s Price Structure Points To Extended Correction

According to a crypto analyst known as behdark on the TradingView platform, Ethereum’s recent pivot formations, momentum shifts, and wave degrees all indicate an ongoing correction. This interesting outlook is based on the analyst’s count of Elliott Wave, which shows Ethereum appears to be forming an ABC correction pattern.

This ABC correction pattern has been playing out since November 2021 and has spanned the last three and half years. The ABC corrective trend is a three-wave pattern in the Elliott Wave Theory of major correction. Wave A represents the initial decline, wave B is a temporary retracement or countertrend move, and wave C is the final downward leg, often extending beyond wave A.

It would seem wave B, the second wave in the correction pattern, is now completed or nearing completion after Ethereum broke below a trendline around $2,500 in late February. This means that wave C is set to play out, which is going to extend the current bearish trend. The analyst noted that wave C should be a little bit longer in duration than wave A, hinting at a drawn-out decline to a big demand zone between $760 and $530.

Two Demand Zones Identified For ETH

The analyst outlined two possible market bottoms for Ethereum, referred to as “Demand 1” and “Demand 2.” The first demand zone is between $1,350 and $1,080, and this is where Ethereum might see some buying pressure that will help put an end to the continuation of wave C.

However, if the first demand zone fails to hold, the Ethereum price may experience an even deeper correction before finding stability. The next zone of stability, in this case, is between $760 and $530. A move to this level will no doubt send the sentiment surrounding Ethereum to an all-time low. However, it can also provide an opportunity for bullish traders to accumulate, as the next move after this zone is the beginning of the next five impulse waves. 

Deviating from the negative outlook, the analyst pointed out an invalidation level at $2,941. If Ethereum manages to close a daily candle above this level, the bearish scenario would be nullified. 

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,930. Given the current structure of price action, the likelihood of Ethereum breaking above $2,941 in the short term appears slim.
