Weekend Damage Assessment
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, what a week.
I'm writing this at 6:47 AM on a Sunday because someone needs to make sense of the absolute carnival we just witnessed. My coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but the numbers don't lie and neither does the pit in my stomach.
THE GALAXY DIGITAL DUMP
Let's start with the elephant in the room: Galaxy Digital confirmed it sold over 80,000 bitcoins on Friday evening. Eighty. Thousand. Bitcoins.
Do you understand what that means? We're talking about roughly $9.5 billion worth of Bitcoin getting dumped onto the market like yesterday's garbage. Mike Novogratz's outfit just pulled the pin on a financial grenade and walked away whistling. The fact that BTC is still flirting with $118K after that kind of institutional vomiting tells you everything about how divorced from reality this market has become.
Galaxy didn't do this because they suddenly discovered altruism. They did it because they know something we don't, or they're positioning for something uglier coming down the pipeline. When the smart money starts running for the exits, you pay attention.
THE NASDAQ COCAINE HIGH CONTINUES
Meanwhile, equity markets are acting like someone spiked the punch bowl with pure Colombian optimism. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.38% for a closing record of 20,974.17 last Monday, and the S&P 500 added 0.54% for a record close of 6,297.36 just over a week ago.
Twenty-one thousand on the Nasdaq. Let that marinate in your brain for a minute. We're living in a world where QQQ can hit these numbers while institutional Bitcoin holders are backing up the truck and dumping their loads at the local landfill.
THE HACK THAT NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT
Oh, and while everyone was busy watching Galaxy's fire sale, 4,443 ETH and 155,830 SOL got stolen this week. Someone walked away with roughly $15 million worth of crypto using Solana-Ethereum bridges, and now it's just sitting there, dormant, like a financial ticking bomb.
The fact that they're offering a 25% recovery bounty tells you two things: First, they're desperate. Second, whoever pulled this off knows exactly what they're doing and probably has zero intention of being found.
CORPORATE ETHEREUM ADOPTION ACCELERATES
But here's where it gets interesting. While Bitcoin whales are running for the hills, companies are increasingly looking at ethereum as an asset to own as the financial services industry and crypto world converge. Corporate treasuries are adding ETH to their balance sheets like it's the new Treasury bill.
This isn't coincidence. This is repositioning. Smart money is rotating from Bitcoin into Ethereum while retail is still arguing about which meme coin will hit a penny first.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR MONDAY
The technical indicators are flashing more mixed signals than a drunk semaphore operator. Bitcoin's value will increase by 1.13% and reach 119450.26 by July 28, 2025 according to the algos, but when has algorithmic prediction ever accounted for institutional panic selling?
We're sitting at a fascinating inflection point. Traditional markets are hitting records while crypto whales are heading for the lifeboats. Either the equity markets are about to get a reality check, or crypto is about to experience another one of its legendary "this time is different" moments.
My gut says we're in for volatility that would make a carnival ride operator dizzy. The Galaxy dump was just the appetizer. The main course is coming, and I don't think most people are prepared for what's on the menu.
TRADE ACCORDINGLY.
