Robinhood generated more second-quarter revenue from prediction-market contracts than from either crypto or equities trading, showing how quickly event contracts are becoming a major business line. Binance.US now plans to seek a CFTC license to compete with Kalshi, Polymarket, and Robinhood, while Core Scientific continues being revalued as an AI and data-center infrastructure company through its large AMD partnership. The episode also covers U.S. sanctions against Iran-linked firms accused of using Bitcoin, South Korea’s proposed consolidated crypto law, Hungary reversing a restrictive conversion rule, Ostium’s $23.75 million exploit, and Aave’s plan to wind down underused markets. Matt also discusses ARK Invest selling several crypto-related stocks while adding SpaceX exposure, as Bitcoin remains near $64,755 and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 38. Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Core Scientific is rapidly shifting from Bitcoin mining toward AI data-center infrastructure after reporting $164.2 million in second-quarter revenue and announcing a major AMD partnership. Matt argues that this transition is likely temporary. AI customers want computing costs to fall, while Bitcoin mining continues rewarding additional hash power, so miners may eventually move back toward Bitcoin when the next bull market improves mining economics. The episode also covers the rapid growth of tokenized traditional assets, Emirates adding Crypto.com Pay for eligible UAE customers, and Binance losing Google Play access in parts of Europe after MiCA-related changes. Matt also discusses trade.xyz reimbursing customers after an oracle-related price anomaly, a lawsuit against Apple involving $1.8 million lost through a fake Sparrow Wallet app, and Tether’s tokenization agreement with the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Bitcoin remains near $64,500, but Matt argues perspective matters: while recent buyers may be frustrated, long-term holders are still sitting on substantial gains, and a $64,000 Bitcoin remains historically significant.

Crypto markets remain sluggish, with Bitcoin drifting around $63,000 as trading activity continues to weaken. Matt argues that the recent wave of exchange closures and layoffs—including BitMEX, BitMart, Momentum Labs, Storage Labs, and workforce reductions at Uphold—reflects a maturing industry rather than a crisis. As retail speculation fades and trading volumes decline, he believes only exchanges offering meaningful services such as institutional custody, compliance, and infrastructure will survive. The episode also covers BitMine's continued accumulation of Ethereum, New York Attorney General Letitia James' criticism of the CLARITY Act, and allegations from Thailand's SEC that Bitkub concealed a 2021 cyberattack that resulted in roughly $50 million in stolen digital assets. Matt closes by noting that inflation continues to squeeze consumers, reducing speculative investing, while the crypto market becomes increasingly crowded with millions of tokens competing for attention.

Craig sees a mixed and largely directionless crypto market, with Bitcoin repeatedly struggling to move decisively above $65,000. After roughly three weeks of minimal progress, the weekly chart raises the possibility that Bitcoin is forming a lower high before another move down. Craig is staying cautious and would rather wait for a confirmed breakout or a clean rollover than force trades in a market with weak momentum and declining volume. He also points to exchange shutdowns as further evidence that trading activity has dried up and says a fast drop toward $50,000 could create a healthier reset and better buying opportunities. For now, he is completely flat, with NEAR presenting the clearest potential short setup.

Bitcoin remains stuck near $64,000 as the broader crypto market struggles to find momentum. Matt covers Poolin’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Bitcoin treasury companies selling holdings to repay debt and fund operations, and another likely delay for the CLARITY Act as traditional banks push back against yield-bearing stablecoin products that could threaten their business models. The episode also examines India’s effort to restrict Jack Dorsey’s privacy-focused BitChat app, a proposed $40.7 million lawsuit against BitMEX, the hacking of Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev’s X account to promote a fake meme coin, Ripple’s expansion of RLUSD, Coinbase’s new AI-powered payment and trading tools, and the SEC’s $150,000 settlement in a Coinbase records lawsuit.

Bitcoin remains caught between strong ETF demand and an increasingly difficult macroeconomic environment. Matt explains how rising Treasury yields, the possibility of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, expensive equity valuations, and a weakening housing market are all competing for investor capital. Despite those headwinds, spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted more than $1 billion over the past week, helping stabilize prices while traditional finance continues moving deeper into blockchain through tokenized Treasury settlement and ongoing debate over the CLARITY Act. The episode also covers BitMEX's planned shutdown after 11 years, a series of cross-chain exploits that drained more than $35 million, the formation of a Bitcoin Security Consortium to prepare for future quantum computing risks, and Alphabet's decision to significantly increase AI infrastructure spending. Matt closes by arguing that while ETF inflows are providing support, Bitcoin still faces stiff competition from safer, yield-producing assets until the broader macroeconomic picture improves.

Bitcoin moved back above $66,000 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a fifth straight day of inflows, bringing roughly $727 million into the market over that stretch. The episode also covers renewed momentum around the CLARITY Act, rapid growth in tokenized assets on Solana, a UK inquiry into crypto banking restrictions, Washington state's legal fight with Kalshi, and Base's planned launch of tokenized equities. Matt also discusses an SEC case involving an alleged $22 million mining scheme, the latest Celsius settlement, Exodus cutting 25% of its workforce, and Bitcoin miners shifting computing power toward AI infrastructure. He explains why miners reallocating compute is a normal part of the crypto cycle, then closes with his skepticism about Litecoin's long-term upside despite its recent breakout.

Craig reviews another slow week across the crypto market, with Bitcoin continuing to struggle below $65,000 and most major coins trading sideways. He remains long Litecoin after a clean daily breakout and is watching for a possible pullback and bullish continuation. Ethereum showed slightly more strength, while Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and Tron offered very little momentum. Bitcoin Cash was one of the weaker performers, falling roughly 10% over the week. With few strong trends available, Craig is focusing on higher-timeframe breakout setups in markets such as Injective and Ethereum Classic rather than forcing low-quality trades. His main message is patience: when conditions are this slow, traders should reduce activity, manage risk carefully, and wait for the market to provide better opportunities.Start your free 7-day trial of Market Intern at: https://marketintern.comSubscribe to Craig’s free Tuesday newsletter at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comHappy Hodling, Everyone.
