1. 💰 Trump to Sign Executive Order Allowing Crypto in 401(k) Plans

   President Trump will sign an executive order permitting cryptocurrencies in U.S. 401(k) retirement plans, unlocking a $12.5 trillion market for digital assets. This move aims to boost retail crypto access and industry legitimacy.

2. ⚖️ Tornado Cash Co-Founder Faces 5 Years After Guilty Verdict

   Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, was convicted of conspiracy to run an unlicensed money transmitting service, facing up to five years in prison. Supporters, including Vitalik Buterin, raised over $3M for his legal defense.

3.  ⛽ Ethereum’s EIP-7999 Aims to Simplify Gas Fees

   Vitalik Buterin’s EIP-7999 proposes a unified fee market for Ethereum, allowing users to set a single maximum fee for transactions, enhancing simplicity and efficiency. Post Dencun upgrade, gas fees dropped 95% to $0.39, but competition from Tron and Solana intensifies. The proposal is under community review to streamline Ethereum’s fee structure.

4. 📉 US Spot Ether ETFs Hit Record $465M Outflow

   US spot Ether ETFs saw a historic $465M daily outflow on Monday, led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust with $375M in redemptions, ending a 20 day inflow streak. Despite the pullback, institutional demand remains strong, with whales accumulating $3.1B in ETH since July.

5. 💊 Pump.fun’s Revenue Plummets 80% as Memecoin Hype Fades

   Pump.fun saw its July revenue drop to $24.96M, an 80% decline from January’s $130M peak, reflecting a cooling memecoin market. The sector’s market cap fell 23.5% to $65B, with trading volume down 67% to $5.59B. New token creation on Solana hit a three-month low, signaling reduced activity.

6. 🤝 Ripple and SEC End XRP Legal Battle

   Ripple Labs and the SEC have dropped their appeals in a long running lawsuit over XRP’s securities status, finalizing a 2023 ruling that XRP on public exchanges isn’t a security. Ripple paid a $125M fine, far below the SEC’s $2B demand. The settlement fueled XRP’s price surge to $3.31.

My Blueprint for the Next 3 Months

In this video, I break down my exact crypto strategy for the next 90 days how I’m navigating August, September, and October. We’ll look at key macro forces shaping each month, the most likely altseason kickoff window, and the big catalysts I’m tracking.

Narrative of the Week: Tokenized Stocks Surge 220%

Tokenized stocks had a breakout month in July, jumping 220% as holders soared from 1,600 to 90,000+. Here's what went down:

Going Mainstream: 60+ tokenized stocks are now live across major crypto exchanges.

Big Names, 24/7 Trading: Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft are now tradable 24/7 with zero fees on platforms like Bybit and Kraken.

Massive Growth: Total tokenized stocks are now valued at $370M.

Tokenized stocks might be crypto’s next breakout narrative bridging TradFi with DeFi in a big way. With top tech names tradable 24/7 and retail flooding in, this could mirror early DeFi momentum. Still early days, but the growth curve is looking real familiar.
