Daily Market Dispatch – July 3, 2025 Momentum builds, with all eyes on Fed and labor data Overview Crypto markets are regaining momentum, with total capitalization nearing $3.4 trillion and daily trading volumes soaring over 40% to $129 billion—marking the largest one-day spike since April. Bitcoin is trading above $109,000, Ethereum is regaining institutional flows, and altcoins like XRP and Solana are drawing headlines. Traditional markets are equally constructive: the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted record closes, EUR/USD matched Bitcoin’s 13% YTD gains, and gold steadied near $3,350 per ounce. While sentiment across risk assets is improving, sustainability hinges on macro confirmation, especially from today’s labor data and the approaching July 9 trade deadline. Bitcoin Bitcoin rose 2.5% to $109,600, the highest since mid-June, buoyed by rising ETF inflows and Fed policy ambiguity. June’s retail volume hit a nine-month low, underscoring that institutions remain the main driver. Still, without a clearer monetary policy trigger or fresh ETF momentum, BTC may remain range-bound short term – though structurally stronger beneath the surface. Ethereum & Altcoins Ethereum climbed over 5%, buoyed by a return of institutional flows. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust brought in $40 million on Tuesday, ending a 15-day outflow streak. Still, challenges remain. Competition from faster chains and softer on-chain activity continue to pressure Ethereum’s core metrics. For now, macro liquidity and institutional positioning are enough to carry ETH higher. XRP advanced 3.5%, while XRP/BTC broke above a falling wedge pattern. Ripple’s application for a national banking license and a Federal Reserve master account strengthened confidence in RLUSD, its stablecoin initiative. A spot XRP ETF, now given a 95% probability by Bloomberg analysts, would mark a major regulatory milestone. Solana rallied after launching the first U.S.-approved staking ETF, the REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF, which posted $33 million in day-one volume. The launch signaled institutional appetite for regulated crypto yield products. AUM reached $1 million on day one, with expectations of further growth. Macro & Institutional Markets are watching today’s U.S. labor data closely. Nonfarm payrolls are expected to show 111,000 new jobs and a modest uptick in unemployment. A weaker print could lock in expectations for a September Fed cut, as soft inflation and early labor market cooling give the central bank more room to ease. Powell remains cautious, but pressure is building. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax plan is still under internal GOP debate. If passed, it could widen the deficit and weigh further on the dollar. Gold, already up 2.5% this week, reflects increased hedging as investors reassess U.S. fiscal risks and rate expectations. Institutional crypto momentum continues. Grayscale’s GDLC ETF—spanning BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA—was approved via delegated authority, but now faces SEC review. Ripple’s efforts to secure a national bank charter and Fed master account could set a new standard for regulated stablecoin issuers. JPMorgan’s Kinexys unit is testing tokenized carbon credits with S&P Global and two registries, underscoring traditional finance’s growing interest in real-world asset tokenization and regulated on-chain infrastructure. Looking Ahead Today’s U.S. labor market data—initial jobless claims, June nonfarm payrolls, and the unemployment rate—will be pivotal in shaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy. A weaker-than-expected report could accelerate bets on a September rate cut and support further upside for crypto and gold. ETF flows remain the clearest signal of institutional conviction, particularly for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, while Solana’s successful ETF debut could pave the way for more staking-linked products. The second half of July may transition from cautious optimism to more active capital deployment.

Daily Market Dispatch – July 2, 2025 Crypto markets are entering July with a steady tone, as macro softness, institutional diversification, and infrastructure milestones converge to support a risk-on tone. The total market cap rebounded to $3.31 trillion, recovering from Tuesday’s $3.24 trillion dip, led by Bitcoin’s swift climb back above $107,600 and Ethereum’s steady footing near $2,400. While altcoins like Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) show mixed short-term performance, the broader momentum is underpinned by weakening U.S. manufacturing data, a softer dollar, and growing institutional engagement, from altcoin treasury strategies to European blockchain integration efforts. Together, these developments mark a transition from speculative recovery to more structural, conviction-driven participation in the crypto asset class. Bitcoin Bitcoin maintains its position after a brief retreat towards $105,000 on tariff uncertainty on Tuesday. Longer-term structural adoption continues to unfold, with institutional flows remaining positive: spot Bitcoin ETFs just notched a 15-day inflow streak, pulling in $102 million on Monday and nearly $4.7 billion over the period. BlackRock’s IBIT led the charge, accounting for 81% of those inflows. The U.S. Dollar Index has dropped to its lowest level since early 2022 following dovish comments from Fed Chair Powell, proving a tailwind for Bitcoin prices. Ethereum & Altcoins Ether lost 3% on Tuesday, breaking below key support, but has recovered near $2450. Despite the price pullbacks, institutional interest in ETH remains strong. SharpLink Gaming added 9,468 ETH to become the largest publicly traded holder with over 198,000 ETH, while BitMine announced a $250 million capital raise to fund an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy backed by major crypto investors. Both companies see Ethereum as a core asset for digital finance and long-term growth. Dogecoin (DOGE) rose 2% after forming a bullish double-bottom pattern, with technical indicators and rising social chatter driving the move. The rally highlighted how quickly sentiment can shift in retail-driven assets. XRP and Solana (SOL) remain buoyed by ETF momentum and growing interest from public companies building altcoin treasuries. While SEC approval for XRP and Solana spot ETFs remains pending, institutional demand is laying the groundwork for future launches. Macro & Institutional Landscape Macro conditions remain supportive of crypto as a high-beta asset class. The U.S. Manufacturing PMI fell to 49% in June, marking a fourth straight month of contraction and strengthening the case for a Fed rate cut later this year. At the same time, oil prices are forecast to drop into the $40–$60 range, and the U.S. Dollar Index is at its lowest since early 2022, pressured by dovish Fed commentary and fiscal concerns. On the institutional front, the SEC’s approval of a multi-asset spot ETF marks a key structural shift, broadening mainstream exposure to XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Diversification beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum is becoming a central theme, with additional issuers reportedly preparing similar products. Corporate treasuries outpaced ETFs in Bitcoin accumulation for the third straight quarter, growing holdings by 18% vs. ETFs’ 8% in Q2. This could reflect a strategic divergence: companies accumulate BTC to boost shareholder value, not just gain exposure. Looking Ahead In the USA, the House is set to review the Senate’s fiscal bill on Wednesday. Meanwhile, markets are eyeing Wednesday’s ADP jobs data, forecast at 99,000, for clues on Fed policy ahead of Thursday’s key nonfarm payrolls and unemployment report. Labor market signals remain mixed, reinforcing the Fed’s cautious stance amid ongoing tariff uncertainty. — Stella Zlatareva, Nexo Dispatch Editor For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – June 30, 2025 Bitcoin has settled into a quiet strength just below $108,000, rising in tandem with equities that closed last week at fresh highs, and underscoring its newfound resilience to global disruptions. Investors have quickly shifted their focus to President Trump's $4.5 trillion tax bill and today’s decisive vote, as well as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming remarks, and crucial labor market data due this week. Markets remain optimistically cautious against geopolitical tensions receding and tariff deadlines looming. Bitcoin Bitcoin’s weekend push above $108,000 underscored its resilience amid fluctuating risk sentiment. Despite persistent geopolitical cross-currents, institutional flows remain robust, with U.S. Bitcoin ETFs continuing a two-week inflow streak totaling nearly $3 billion. The cryptocurrency’s renewed momentum, driven by improving macro sentiment and steady institutional support, positions it for potential tests of recent highs, pending macro developments. Ethereum Ethereum hovered near $2,500, buoyed by anticipation around REX Shares' staking ETFs for Ethereum and Solana and positive signals from the SEC indicating no further objections to the products. Behind the price, Ethereum validators are upgrading to Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), decentralizing validator operations across multiple nodes. This upgrade isn’t merely a technical improvement – it’s becoming an institutional requirement, as Ethereum’s staking infrastructure must meet the standards of traditional capital allocators. Enhanced reliability, security, and decentralization are key to attracting institutional ETF and structured finance inflows, positioning Ethereum favorably among large-scale investors. Macro & Equities Global markets remain cautiously optimistic. European stocks rose modestly and U.S. markets closed sharply higher at a record-high level on Friday. However, ongoing tariff negotiations ahead of the critical July 9 deadline keep traders cautious, particularly with a busy week ahead, featuring U.S. labor data and Powell's speech at the ECB forum, which could shape near-term market sentiment significantly. Institutions Institutional adoption continues to accelerate, highlighted by Metaplanet’s $108 million purchase of 1,005 Bitcoin, raising its holdings to 13,350 BTC, making it the fifth-largest corporate holder globally. This development aligns with the ongoing surge in global crypto investment products, which saw another $2.7 billion in inflows last week, the eleventh consecutive week of gains. Year-to-date inflows now stand at $17.8 billion, closely tracking the vigorous pace set in 2024, according to CoinShares. Looking Ahead Investors enter July balancing cautious optimism with macroeconomic uncertainty. Powell’s upcoming remarks, alongside key U.S. employment data, could tip the scales for market sentiment. How crypto markets navigate the next set of macro catalysts will likely set the stage for the second half of 2025. — Stella Zlatareva, Nexo Dispatch editor For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – June 27, 2025 Overview Investors are eyeing today’s U.S. Core PCE inflation data, which could trigger asset repricing as the quarter ends. Crypto markets are steady. Bitcoin is holding around $107,000. Easing geopolitical tensions and hopes of trade de-escalation support risk appetite. Quarter-end positioning is mostly done. Focus now shifts to macro data and central bank signals. These will shape rate expectations and market direction. In July, inflation trends and labor market strength will guide risk sentiment. Rumored delayed tariff reinstatements have calmed markets. The dollar is on track for its worst week in over a month, while gold has dropped to a four-week low. The market mood is cautiously constructive, with crypto Fear and Greed index pointing to a balanced reading of 49/100. Bitcoin Bitcoin hovered above $107,000, staging within its familiar $100,000 – $110,000 range. Price action appears subdued. Realized profits have topped $650 billion for the current cycle, but transfer volumes and leverage continue to cool, suggesting the market is pausing to refuel. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are seeing their longest inflow streak since December 2024, pulling in over $2.9 billion across 13 consecutive sessions. This week alone has seen $1.2 billion in new capital, with Tuesday marking June’s strongest day at $588.6 million. Ethereum & Altcoins Ethereum led majors this week, gaining 6.7% before easing to $2,450. Spot ETH ETFs passed $4 billion in net inflows, with momentum driven by falling fees and rebalancing demand. ETH remains the anchor for altcoin legitimacy in the institutional space. XRP dropped to $2.10, despite easing macro risk and visible whale activity. A $439 million transfer from Ripple and other large moves raised speculation over potential distribution. Technically, XRP faces resistance at $2.17, with support near $2.08–$2.09 – a structure that may continue to pressure short-term sentiment. Solana edged down just over 1%, with the broader altcoin complex remaining split: flows favor large caps, while the long tail still struggles for attention. Today's $17.3 billion BTC and ETH options expiry – the largest of the year, adds another layer. Key levels sit below current prices ($102K for BTC, $2,200 for ETH), but put-call ratios tilt bullish. With over 30% of open interest expiring, a new quarter may bring clearer direction. Macro & Institutional Gold eased below $3,300 as safe-haven demand waned, while the dollar hovered near 3.5-year lows. The macro backdrop appears calmer. The European Commission is preparing to allow foreign-issued stablecoins like USDC and USDT to circulate more freely across the bloc – a move that could reinforce the dollar’s role in digital markets. Looking Ahead Today’s PCE data will play a key role in shaping short-term positioning. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak on Tuesday, and ISM manufacturing data will provide further insight into economic momentum. Next week will bring a series of critical labor market indicators on Thursday, including non-farm payrolls, unemployment, initial jobless claims, job openings, and average hourly earnings. — Iliya Kalchev, Nexo Dispatch analyst For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – June 26, 2025 Bitcoin is once again commanding the spotlight, climbing toward $108,000 on renewed Fed rate cut expectations and dollar weakness. Nvidia’s fresh all-time high is fueling sentiment in crypto and equities alike, with leading indices marginally up. Market optimism is building around dovish Fed cues, and investors are positioning ahead of Friday’s Core PCE inflation data. Bitcoin BTC is trading just shy of $108,000 after breaking out of a tightening range earlier this week. The move is supported by a weakening U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), now near 97.5 – its lowest in three months, while U.S. consumer confidence fell to 93 in June and GDP forecasts are being revised lower. Zooming out, Bitcoin is flowing into stronger hands. Large holders have added over half a million BTC in the past year, now sitting on 16.57 million BTC with a strong positive correlation to price. Institutional conviction continues to build, with entities absorbing nearly seven times more Bitcoin than the network is issuing. Metaplanet has officially surpassed Tesla as the fifth-largest corporate holder of BTC, now sitting on 12,345 coins – an aggressive move that echoes MicroStrategy’s playbook and validates BTC as a treasury reserve asset. Ethereum & Altcoins Ethereum is holding above $2,490, supported by record-breaking stablecoin activity on its network. Weekly active users of ETH-based stablecoins have topped 750,000 – an all-time high, showing Ethereum’s utility in payments, DeFi, and real-world applications remains unmatched. Meanwhile, Ethereum-based stablecoins are hitting all-time usage highs, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is gaining state-level traction in Asia Solana and Cardano have stabilized, and traders are eyeing renewed momentum as the SEC adds Solana and even Pudgy Penguins ETF applications to its review docket. The institutionalization of altcoin exposure is gradually taking shape, with ETFs offering the potential for broader market access. In parallel, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said in-kind redemptions for crypto ETFs are "on the horizon," signaling more favorable conditions for future fund structures that reduce tax liabilities and improve operational efficiency. Institutional & Market Structure Major structural shifts are unfolding globally. In the U.S., the housing regulator has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to factor crypto asset holdings into mortgage risk assessments, potentially enabling crypto users to leverage their portfolios in real estate financing. In Hong Kong, a new policy agenda is fast-tracking tokenized asset frameworks and crypto licensing, advancing the institutional use of blockchain for real-world assets. Looking Ahead Eyes will be on today's U.S. jobless claims and Friday’s U.S. Core PCE data for confirmation of the Fed’s pivot. As rate cut expectations rise and digital assets gain formal recognition – from mortgage markets to ETF filings, the crypto economy is no longer merely parallel to traditional finance, but actively converging with it. This week’s developments – from Metaplanet’s BTC treasury strategy to U.S. housing policy – suggest that crypto is not just being legitimized, but repurposed as foundational infrastructure in both East and West. Price isn’t the only signal worth watching – it's time to track adoption in boardrooms, government corridors, and ETF pipelines. The next leg of the market may not be driven by hype, but by integration. — Stella Zlatareva, Nexo Dispatch Editor For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – June 25, 2025 Overview Crypto markets are in wait-and-see mode as broader sentiment firms around a tentative ceasefire and dovish undertones from the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin remains above $106,000, while equities and commodities trade cautiously ahead of a packed data calendar. With quarter-end options expiring Friday, positioning may become more tactical before any decisive breakout. Bitcoin Bitcoin held firm near $106,000, navigating a narrow band between $103,000–$108,000 that has persisted throughout June. While recent price action appears range-bound, structural dynamics suggest undercurrents building ahead of this week’s expiry. Bitcoin’s dominance over the total crypto market cap has climbed back to 62%, as capital flows continue to favor it over smaller assets. The upcoming options expiry, worth over $14B, may serve as a volatility accelerant, with $102,000 a key level. Yet, inflows and ETF interest suggest stronger hands are accumulating on dips. Ethereum & Altcoins Ethereum traded just above $2,400, lagging Bitcoin’s recovery as broader altcoins continued to lose momentum. However, demand for Ether remains strong at the institutional level, with spot Ethereum ETFs surpassing $4 billion in cumulative net inflows as of June 23 — a quarter of which came in just the last 15 sessions. XRP was unchanged, while Solana posted marginal gains, but sentiment across Layer 1s remained mixed as Bitcoin’s rising dominance continued to crowd out alternative assets and delay any credible rotation. That said, XRP has emerged as a relative outperformer, with its holder base nearly doubling since October. Should ETF approval materialize, XRP may not only consolidate its position but also revive broader interest in regulated altcoin products. Macro & Institutional Fed Chair Powell maintained a cautious tone, signaling no rush to adjust rates while warning that tariffs could distort prices and policy. Labor data continues to soften, yet markets still price in around 60 bps of cuts by year-end. The dollar slipped as the Israel-Iran ceasefire held, prompting a modest rotation into risk assets. Gold edged higher on dollar weakness and lingering uncertainty, while oil rebounded off recent lows but remains pressured by easing supply risks. Markets remain stable but directionless, with tariffs and geopolitics still active variables. Separately, the Fed removed “reputational risk” from its bank oversight playbook — clearing the way for regulated crypto banking relationships. Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s openness to crypto services when risk controls are in place. Arizona advanced a bill to establish a state crypto reserve fund using seized assets, while South Korea’s top banks moved closer to launching a won-pegged stablecoin through a new consortium. Looking Ahead This week’s key data includes U.S. jobless claims on Thursday, the Core PCE inflation print on Friday, and final Q1 GDP revisions. Alongside the $14 billion BTC options expiry, these events could reset short-term risk appetite. While current positioning appears balanced, the combination of macro data and geopolitical fragility could act as a catalyst for renewed volatility. Market participants should be prepared for a shift in tone as quarter-end approaches. — Iliya Kalchev, Nexo Dispatch analyst For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – June 23, 2025 Overview Markets are swaying as altcoins are on the rise and Bitcoin is finding its footing. With Metaplanet buying big, XRP ETF optimism rising, and global energy markets injecting new uncertainty, crypto remains tightly intertwined with the broader financial landscape. Key macro data points investors will be watching include the U.S. Core PCE Price Index on Friday, ongoing oil price volatility amid Middle East tensions, and scheduled commentary from Fed and ECB officials throughout the week. Given this backdrop, the market remains slightly choppy following a weekend liquidation flush that erased $1 billion in open interest. Altcoins are showing early signs of recovery, led by Solana, XRP, and DOGE, even as geopolitical uncertainty and ETF outflows weigh on overall sentiment. Bitcoin BTC is holding key support just above $101,800 after reclaiming the $100,000 level over the weekend. Traders largely shrugged off the latest Iran-related strike, while Brent and WTI oil erased gains, undercutting the usual risk-off narrative. Still, Bitcoin ETF demand has cooled. Some products saw redemptions last week as geopolitical jitters and macro tension rattled broader market appetite. That said, conviction buying hasn’t disappeared. Metaplanet, Japan’s publicly listed “Asian MicroStrategy,” added another 1,111 BTC (worth $117 million), pushing its total reserves beyond 11,000 BTC. Despite the volatility, balance-sheet strategies remain in motion for institutions betting on long-term upside. Ethereum & Altcoins Ether continues to track broader market trends, trading near $2,260. But altcoins appear to be decoupling. Solana fell 8% last week amid oil-related market stress but began its bounce back this morning to above $130. XRP and DOGE followed suit, with the latter climbing over 6% after a rollercoaster weekend. The ETF narrative is also shifting. Bloomberg analysts now place the odds of a U.S. XRP ETF approval at 95%, citing improved regulatory tone and positive signals from the SEC. Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s trading volume spiked on retail-driven rebounds, showing there’s still appetite for high-beta exposure even in a cautious environment. Institutional & Market Structure The stablecoin narrative is catching fire. Circle received a "Buy" rating from Seaport Securities, which pegged the stablecoin space as a $2 trillion opportunity. Meanwhile, Peter Schiff, a long-time crypto critic, surprised markets by proposing a gold-backed token, acknowledging Bitcoin's role while rejecting dollar-pegged stablecoins. On the infrastructure front, Alchemy reports that “every bank and fintech wants DeFi under the hood,” highlighting a shift from ideological decentralization to backend efficiency. As TradFi and Web3 slowly blend, integrations are becoming less visible but more impactful. Looking Ahead Volatility is expected to persist as investors watch ETF flows, geopolitical moves, and macro sentiment across commodities and equities. Bitcoin is holding critical support, but the focus this week may shift to altcoins, stablecoins, and the infrastructure arms race. — Stella Zlatareva, Nexo Dispatch Editor For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.
