Ripple CEO confirms he’ll testify before Senate Banking Committee

The Global Money Supply has just hit a rare yearly growth rate of 9%. Here&#8217;s 
what followed for Bitcoin the last few times this signal appeared. Global 
Money Supply Is Currently Sharply Going Up In a new post on X, Capriole 
Investments founder Charles Edwards has talked about the latest trend in the 
Global Money Supply. The &#8220;Global Money Supply&#8221; refers to an indicator that 
measures the total amount of fiat supply (priced in US Dollars) issued by the 
top countries around the world. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Supply Most 
Centralized Among Top Coins—62% Held By Just 10 Whales Below is the chart 
shared by Edwards that shows the data for the year-on-year growth in the 
metric: As displayed in the graph, the metric&#8217;s value has recently been 
witnessing an increase, indicating that fiat supply is going up. &#8220;Central 
banks are flooding the market with fiat money,&#8221; notes the analyst. Currently, 
the indicator stands at around 9%, which corresponds to the Global Money 
Supply undergoing a 9% jump over the last twelve months. &#8220;This is extreme and 
rare,&#8221; says Edwards. In the same chart, the Capriole Investments founder has 
also attached the historical data of the daily Bitcoin price. Interestingly, 
past surges of the metric to this level all preceded significant bull rallies 
for the cryptocurrency over the next twelve months. More specifically, the 
August 2017 signal led to a 663% surge, the November 2017 one to a 136% 
increase, and the June 2020 one to a 580% rally. This comes to an average gain 
of 460%. Thus, it would appear that money printers being busy around the world 
is something that tends to be bullish for Bitcoin. Considering that the Global 
Money Supply is once again rising at an appreciable rate, it only remains to 
be seen whether BTC will once again feel a positive effect over the coming 
year. In some other news, the Bitcoin network recently saw its largest ever 
movement of coins older than ten years, as CryptoQuant Head of Research Julio 
Moreno has pointed out in an X post. In total, this latest spike of 
transactions involving ancient coins saw the movement of around 81,000 BTC, 
worth a whopping $8.8 billion. Generally, old coins move when they are being 
sold, so these transfers could correspond to profit-taking. Related Reading:

Interestingly, the Apparent Demand indicator has remained positive for Bitcoin 
even after these transactions, as Edwards has explained in another X post. 
This metric gauges the demand for Bitcoin by comparing its production (mining 
issuance) against its inventory (supply inactive over 1 year). &#8220;Despite 80,000 
BTC moving, Bitcoin&#8217;s Apparent Demand is still bullish,&#8221; says the analyst. 
Bitcoin Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $108,400, up

US Government Backs Down in Tornado Cash Lawsuit

Bitcoin (BTC) is up 7% over the last two weeks, showing signs of strength 
despite expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest 
rates unchanged at its upcoming July 30 meeting. However, some indicators 
suggest that the market may be entering overheating territory. Bitcoin Market 
Entering Overheating Territory? According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake 
post by contributor burakkesmeci, the Bitcoin Network Value to Transaction 
(NVT) Golden Cross is on the rise. Importantly, this upward movement is 
beginning to signal signs of market overheating. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Realized Dominance Signals Weak Hands Capitulating, Strong Hands Rising For 
the uninitiated, the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross is a technical indicator that 
compares short-term and long-term moving averages of the NVT ratio to identify 
potential market tops or bottoms. When the short-term NVT crosses above the 
long-term average, it often signals that Bitcoin is becoming overvalued and 
may face a short-term correction. Notably, this indicator has successfully 
predicted three local tops so far in 2025. The first occurred on February 5, 
when the NVT Golden Cross hit 2.68 while BTC traded at $97,600, followed by a 
23.65% correction. On March 24, the indicator peaked at 2.87 with BTC around 
$87,500, leading to a subsequent correction of 16.06%. Most recently &#8211; on June 
16 &#8211; it rose to 2.21 with BTC trading at $106,800, which was followed by a 
9.87% price dip. Currently, the NVT Golden Cross stands at 1.98. Although it 
hasn’t crossed the key 2.2 threshold yet, its upward trajectory suggests that 
market overheating could be brewing. The CryptoQuant analyst explained: 
Breaking its previous high is moderately bullish and shows momentum is 
building. If the metric crosses 2.2 again, it may hint at a local top. But 
don’t rush to exit &#8211; historically, the metric has stayed above 2.2 for several 
days. In conclusion, burakkesmeci noted that while crossing the 2.2 level 
might suggest Bitcoin is heating up in the short-term, it could also signal a 
return of bullish momentum in the medium-term. That said, the opinion on BTC&#8217;s 
short-term price trajectory is largely divided. Analysts Split Over BTC Price 
Action ​​The NVT Golden Cross suggests that BTC may still have room to rally 
before hitting a potential local top. However, some analysts foresee a short- 
term pullback before Bitcoin reaches new highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin

For instance, noted crypto analyst Chistian Chifoi described the current BTC 
price action as a “deceptive setup,” warning it may trap bulls before a 
possible surge toward a new all-time high (ATH) of $160,000. Meanwhile, on- 
chain analytics firm Glassnode forecasts BTC’s short-term peak at $117,000. At 
press time, BTC trades at $108,204, down 0.1% in the past 24 hours. Featured
