Strategy has sold another 1,690 Bitcoin and used the proceeds to repurchase preferred stock, while also building its U.S. dollar reserve to $4.65 billion.
BitMine is now sitting on more than 5.8 million Ethereum, equal to roughly 4.8% of the entire supply, but its buying pace has slowed sharply as the company shifts more capital toward share repurchases.
Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Chainlink with a $13 target for the end of 2026 and an extraordinary $200 target for 2030, built around the bank's huge expectations for tokenized assets and decentralized finance.
Meanwhile, Jupiter has launched Lend v2 on Solana, introducing Smart Collateral and Smart Debt in an attempt to make the same on-chain capital earn lending income and trading fees simultaneously.
Plus, we look at the latest Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB and Dogecoin prices and what to watch ahead of Wednesday's U.S. inflation report.

Why does your money seem to buy less and less over time — and what does Bitcoin have to do with it?
In Part 3 of our Crypto News Today deep-dive series, we tackle currency debasement and one of the biggest arguments behind Bitcoin.
We break down where claims that the U.S. dollar loses around 7% of its value each year actually come from, why money-supply growth is not the same thing as CPI inflation, and why simply adding the two numbers together gives you the wrong answer.
We also look at where newly created money and credit can flow, why property, stocks and other scarce assets can rise much faster than everyday consumer prices, and why holding cash carries a form of risk that is almost invisible: loss of purchasing power.
Inside this deep dive:
What currency debasement actually means
Why money-supply growth and inflation are different
Where the famous “7%” argument comes from
Why governments continually expand debt and credit
How asset-price inflation can affect ordinary people
Why cash is stable in dollars but not necessarily in purchasing power
Why Bitcoin's 21 million maximum supply matters
Why Michael Saylor views Bitcoin as a long-term savings technology
The difference between volatility and long-term monetary risk
Why Bitcoin does not need the U.S. dollar to collapse in order to succeed
And at the end, we set up Part 4, where we move into Black Swan events — what happens when the financial system suddenly breaks and governments and central banks are forced to respond.
Question for you: if you had $100,000 that you couldn't touch for 20 years, would you rather keep it entirely in cash or own a mixture of scarce and productive assets?

Bitcoin ETF demand has returned in a big way, with U.S. spot Bitcoin funds attracting more than $853 million in weekly net inflows and BlackRock accounting for the majority.
In today's Daily Crypto Roundup, we break down the latest Bitcoin market prices, the BIP-110 minority chain falling dramatically behind the dominant Bitcoin network, Trump Media and Crypto.com cancelling their proposed $6.42 billion Cronos treasury vehicle, the growing crypto project shakeout and the IMF's warning about stablecoins accelerating global dollarisation.
We also look at what these developments mean for Bitcoin holders, institutional adoption and the wider crypto market heading deeper into August 2026.

Why do governments keep borrowing money instead of simply paying their debts off?
In Part 2 of our new Crypto News Today Deep Dive series, we break down one of the biggest forces shaping the global economy: government debt.
We explain how budget deficits work, why governments continually refinance old debt with new debt, what happens when interest payments start becoming enormous, and why simply “paying off the national debt” is far more complicated than it sounds.
We also look at the uncomfortable choices governments eventually face — higher taxes, spending cuts, more borrowing, lower interest rates or monetary expansion — and why inflation can gradually reduce the real value of debt without an outright default.
Most importantly, we bring it back to Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor and many Bitcoin supporters are not necessarily betting on the US dollar collapsing tomorrow. They are betting that governments will continue borrowing, central banks will continue intervening during crises, and the supply of fiat currency will continue expanding over decades while Bitcoin remains limited to approximately 21 million coins.
So is the global financial system caught in a debt trap? Can governments ever realistically bring their debts back under control? And could permanent borrowing ultimately strengthen the long-term argument for Bitcoin?
That’s what we investigate in Daily Crypto Deep Dive Part 2: The Debt Trap.

Bitcoin holders are being warned about a potentially costly mistake if the controversial BIP-110 proposal leads to a minority Bitcoin fork.
In today’s Daily Crypto Roundup, we explain why trying to immediately sell coins created by a Bitcoin chain split could potentially put your real BTC at risk through replay attacks — and why doing nothing may initially be the safest move.
We also look at the return of institutional demand as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs build towards roughly $850 million in inflows, raising another important question: are institutions quietly accumulating while retail investors remain on the sidelines?
And finally, Europe is already reconsidering parts of its landmark MiCA crypto regulations. We break down what a possible “MiCA 2.0” could mean for crypto companies, stablecoins, the euro and the future of digital-asset regulation across Europe.

₿ Why replay attacks could put BTC holders at risk
💰 Around $850 million flowing towards Bitcoin ETFs
