I’m constructive on @chainlink , and recent developments only reinforce that view.
The approval of a Chainlink ETF by Bitwise isn’t about short-term price action. It’s about where institutional attention is slowly migrating. Exposure is expanding beyond L1s and into infrastructure that actually underpins onchain finance.
Chainlink sits in a unique position.
As markets move toward tokenized assets, onchain settlement, and real-world financial instruments interacting with blockchains, reliable data becomes non-negotiable. Oracles aren’t optional plumbing they’re critical infrastructure. Chainlin

The break is over.

Markets reacting to macro headlines again, geopolitical noise around the U.S. and Venezuela is showing up in price action.
Short-term volatility was expected.
BTC has absorbed similar shocks before and tends to recover once uncertainty fades. Structure remains intact, even if sentiment temporarily weakens.
Altcoins are quietly holding up better than most realize. That usually matters more than a red heatmap on the day.
Patience is still the edge here.

Ondo Finance and the RWA market are quietly moving into a different phase.
While much of crypto remains price-focused, real-world asset tokenization is expanding through institutional experimentation, not retail speculation.
RWAs tripled to ~$18.5B in 2025 and are now DeFi’s fifth-largest category by TVL, surpassing DEXs. Forecasts from Cantor Fitzgerald suggest this figure could exceed $50B by 2026 as more financial institutions test onchain settlement.
@OndoFinance sits at the center of this shift.
Rather than chasing experimental use cases, Ondo has focused on regulated, capital-efficient a

The market has been relatively calm over the holidays.
That’s usually when positioning matters more than predictions.

Suddenly those who were bearish on $ETH are now setting higher targets. It just goes t9o show how fickle many are in CT.
If you sold off your $ETH bag because someone else said Ethereum was going to zero, you have no one else to blame for your loss but yourself.
Also, the Fear & Greed index shows that the current prevailing sentiment is Greed.
I know that many on here will follow the "Buy Fear, Sell Greed" mantra, but I'd only start thinking of selling when we're in Extreme Greed territory.
That's anywhere from 75 and above. But of course, profit is profit, so if you decide to sell now, it's

Last week, BTC ETFs lost their daily net inflow streak, coincidentally it was on the first day of July.
Unsurprisingly, Ethereum ETFs recorded another day of negative net inflows.
But the key point to note is that both assets have been gaining more bullish attention to make up for any outflows.
Both charts are also testing key resistance levels, and Ethereum’s upcoming developments are enough reason to stay bullish. Also, after the last pullback, I expect to see some green candles this week for $ETH.

As much as the news would have you believe that less whales and individuals are holding BTC, don't believe it.
Individuals still hold about 9x what any organisation or government holds combined! Even the BTC that's attributed to exchanges belongs to individuals.
You should be able to see through the purpose of such headlines.
The most recent one on Bloomberg that's flying around says that Bitcoin whales dumped 500k BTC in the past year while organisations accumulated over 900k BTC.
It paints a picture that Bitcoin is becoming more of an institutional asset, and almost screams "individuals keep

Glad to see that $XRP ended June on a high note.
So a retest to the support line at $2.1 is possible.
Plus, with the fine situation being pushed back by the court, this price action was impressive, otherwise, if $XRP HODLers had panicked, the chart would've been a mess.
As it stands, $XRP is gearing for another leg up.

Think about it, when the market is doing well, people care less about the fees, but in slow times like now, every cent matters especially when you're paying based on the percentage of your trading capital.
As for Raydium and Pumpdotfun, it doesn't make sense to pay 0.3% on Pumpdotfun, and pay another 0.25%-1% on Raydium, when you can just trade directly on PUMP.
As people move to protocols with lower fees, I expect we'll see more protocols competing by offering lower trading fees, which will ultimately be great for users.
But there's no telling what happens once the market picks up and everyo

If anybody is still keeping tabs on the ETF inflows for BTC and ETH, this past week, $BTC maintained its inflow streak with higher numbers.
Daily net inflows went as high as $588 million on Tuesday, while Thursday saw the lowest inflows of $226 million.
Not bad at all since all days were net positive, which is not the case for $ETH.
Clearly the sentiment across board for both assets was briefly bearish on Thursday. Given the surge on prior days, a retest was expected, hence the low inflows/investments.
Hoping for a better flow next week.

The price is dipping and clearly many $XRP holders don't understand what is going on, so the default response is panic. But let's get some things clear.
♦️ XRP is still NOT a security, so that's been settled and there's no issue with it being sold on the open market.
♦️ The $125 Million has already been paid, it's just sitting in escrow. So if the fine is not reduced, it's a matter of releasing it to the SEC. No XRP will be sold and no extra funds are needed to pay this fine.
♦️ The only reason why this ruling is even being mentioned is that Ripple is seeking favourable conditions, so instead

Bitcoin is now the 6th largest asset by marketcap at $2.13 Trillion.
I think it’s worthy of note that even though Silver is trading at a 13 year high, and $BTC is 2% below ATH, BTC is still ahead.
Can’t wait to see how it takes before we overtake Amazon.
