While there remains widespread skepticism around $ETH, the rise in the ratio of ETH/BTC signals investors are anticipating improving visibility of "use cases" for crypto
This is a good thing
BREAKING: The White House just confirmed the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is being formally structured right now.
The US already holds 328,372 Bitcoin worth around $25 billion, making it the largest known government holder of Bitcoin in the world.
That is 1.56 percent of the entire Bitcoin supply currently in circulation.
Not a single coin was purchased. Every Bitcoin in the reserve was seized from criminals through civil and criminal asset forfeitures.
The government has committed to never selling any of it.
A separate Digital Asset Stockpile will hold everything else seized, including Ethereum, XRP, and other altcoins.
The word "structure" matters here. The reserve exists on paper but the legal and operational framework to formally manage it is still being built.
That is what the White House is now working on.
Congress is separately working on legislation called the American Reserves Modernization Act that would direct the Treasury to buy 1 million Bitcoin over five years.
If that passes, the US becomes the first country in history to actively purchase Bitcoin as a formal national reserve asset, with a 20 year minimum hold period.
@Capitana_espana Short haul flights (standing) should be replaced with electrified high speed rail where possible powered by renewable resources.
We don't need to burn that much fossil fuels, airport transfers, materials etc. on flights to move a few hundred people a few hundred kilometres.
@TouchlineX Understand Belgiums concern for the rules, but cmon stop whinning and get on with it. You worried about a single player? Maybe if it was a Messi or Ronadhino but Florin???
Stablecoins are booming on prediction markets thanks to the #FIFAWorldCup! Polymarket (fully USDC-based) shattered records:
International platform: $10.8B in June (all-time high)
World Cup markets: $5B+ in soccer volume, with billions in USDC transfers on Polygon
Daily sports volume roughly doubled/tripled vs pre-tournament
Kalshi (USD platform with USDC deposits) also exploded:
$31B+ notional volume in June (70-87% MoM surge)
World Cup bets alone: ~$2.9B
Instant stablecoin funding helped fuel the fire during peak activity
Combined platforms hit ~$45B in June — up 75% from May, with the World Cup as the massive driver. Prediction markets + stablecoins = perfect match for global sports frenzy. What a moment for on-chain & regulated betting! (Source: CNBC, Fortune, Dune data — July 2026)

Ethereum's Next 3 Years: The Great Scaling Era is HERE! 2026 (Glamsterdam + Hegotá): Blazing fast L1, bigger blobs, enshrined PBS → way cheaper txs & unstoppable rollups. 2027–2029 ("Lean Ethereum"): Sub-second finality, 1G gas/sec L1, TERAGAS on L2s, ZK everywhere, quantum-proof + built-in privacy. This is how Ethereum becomes the unbreakable World Computer. Bullish or what? $ETH#Ethereum #ETH #Crypto
