An under-the-radar digital asset is skyrocketing after being receiving support from Coinbase, the top US-based crypto exchange platform. In a new thread on the social media platform X, Coinbase Assets says it is adding support for BankrCoin (BNKR), an artificial intelligence (AI)-focused digital asset that operates on Base, Coinbase’s proprietary blockchain, causing the cryptocurrency to explode in price. “Trading will begin on or after 9AM PT on 30 July 2025, if liquidity conditions are met.

Tesla has signed a major deal worth $4.3 billion with South Korea’s LG Energy Solution (LGES) to supply rechargeable batteries. The batteries come with energy storage systems that run on lithium iron phosphate (LFP), reported Reuters on Wednesday. LGES will export the batteries to the Michigan-based plant to power Tesla EV cars. The move makes Tesla end its reliance on China for rechargeable EV batteries and reduce Chinese imports due to trade tariffs. However, neither Tesla nor LG made the deal public and kept it under wraps. Several officials close to the matter disclosed the partnership to Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

Bitcoin is the top-performing asset in the cryptocurrency market as its price has skyrocketed 80% in a year. It hit an all-time high of $122,838 mid-July, and its price is now at the $119,000 range on Monday. The leading cryptocurrency is bouncing back harder after every dip, making it a prime investment for traders.

Robert Kiyosaki, American entrepreneur and writer, is once again urging investors to be cautious when exploring investment opportunities. Namely, in a July 25 post on X, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad noted the limits of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), acknowledging their usefulness yet recommending more tangible assets. According to Kiyosaki, investment funds make the lives of average investors easier, likely alluding to their hands-off nature, but they are no substitute for holding the real thing, being, as he calls them, “paper assets.” “ETFs make investing easier for the average investor… so I do recommend them.… Yet an ETF is like having a picture of a gun for personal defense.” Gold, silver, and Bitcoin ETFs are all accessible options, the writer notes, especially in times of crisis, but only if you “know the differences, and how to use them.” BEWARE of PAPER I realize ETFs make investing easier for the average investor….so I do recommend ETFs for the ...

The price of Pump Fun’s PUMP token fell 14% on Wednesday at exactly the same time as the company’s CEO, Alon Cohen, was on a live interview shooting down rumors of an imminent airdrop.  According to CoinGecko, when the interview with Threadguy, aka Michael Jerome, started around 9 pm BST, the token’s price was $0.00388967.

Crypto investment giant Pantera Capital says there is a “great on-chain migration” underway as tokenization moves from a concept to reality. In a new newsletter, Pantera general partner Franklin Bi says “the rise of tokenized assets today mirrors the early days of ETFs (exchange-traded funds).” Says the investor, “When the first U.S. equity ETF (SPY) launched in 1993, it crossed $1 billion in AUM (assets under management) within a year. But the real inflection point wasn’t its size. It was when ETF volumes began consistently matching and eventually exceeding mutual fund flows. That’s when market structure changed and investor behavior soon followed. We believe tokenization will hit a similar moment in broad market structure transformation and issuer and investor behavior.” Bi says that when any one of four things happens, the tipping point for tokenization will have arrived. Those things include daily on-chain equity volume ex...

The token has recently been a victim of dormant timelines and momentum, but it has occasionally shown how its slower price pace has been gradually building traction, paving the way for a more significant surge.

Several pro-crypto legislations have been approved this past week, sending bullish sentiment throughout crypto, including in Chainlink (LINK). The LINK cryptocurrency is up over 15% in the past week, thanks to Bitcoin’s rally and the approval of the GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC acts. Experts are trying to decipher whether or not there is a boom or bust moment for Chainlink ahead, and are leaning further towards the former. LINK’s supply on several crypto exchanges recently hit a record low, signaling investor confidence in the asset. In the last 24 hours, the asset’s trading volume is up over 80%. Analysts are looking at $22 as a key resistance level now that LINK is above $18. With a market capitalization of $12.4 billion and daily trading volume exceeding $1.47 billion, LINK is showing renewed strength after a period of consolidation. Chainlink price has printed a double bottom chart pattern, alluding to a potential 126% rally to the upside. According to analysts, ...

The total capitalisation of the global cryptocurrency market climbed past $4 trillion in the early hours of 18 July, marking the highest level on record and underlining the sector’s renewed momentum in 2025. The landmark was reached shortly before 09:00 UTC when a burst of buying in several large‑capitalisation tokens pushed the aggregate figure to roughly $4.003 trillion. Although the level slipped back during the London morning, the move confirmed a psychological barrier that analysts have been watching since the spring rally began.
