    Wall Street lost $800B. Bitcoin fell less than 1%. Thread

    Send us Fan Mail Wall Street lost $800B. Bitcoin fell less than 1%. Thread 🧵👇 1/ The Magnificent Seven shed $797B on Thursday — their worst day since April 2025. Nasdaq down 1.9%. S&P down 1.2%. Trigger: AI spending fears after Alphabet and Tesla earnings disappointed. 2/ Bitcoin held near $65,000. Down less than 1% on a day the AI trade had its worst session in 15 months. Is this the decoupling? That is the most important question in crypto right now. 3/ Six federal agencies missed the GENIUS Act stablecoin deadline on July 18. Every exchange and stablecoin issuer is now in a regulatory grey zone. January 2027 enforcement starts regardless of whether final rules exist. 4/ CLARITY Act misses pre-recess window. Majority Leader Thune says August 7 deadline likely missed. White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt pushes back — first week of August still possible. Goldman Sachs CEO backs the bill publicly. 5/ US-Iran tensions push oil above $90. Inflation fears return. Bitcoin ETFs logged $225M in outflows Thursday — breaking a 7-day inflow streak. Fed hike odds rise from 10% to 20-40% depending on the source. 6/ BNY Mellon commits to tokenised US Treasury settlement by late 2026. The oldest bank in America goes on-chain. Combined with DTCC and SWIFT — the institutional buildout is accelerating in the middle of a bear market. 7/ But here is what really matters. Fed meets July 28-29. CLARITY Act may still get a Senate floor start before August 8 recess. A Fed hold plus CLARITY Act progress in the same week is the scenario institutional money has been waiting for. 8/ The next 7 days will define the second half of 2026 for crypto. We lay out every scenario and exactly what to do in each one.

    The Tide Is Turning — Bitcoin at $65K, ETF Inflows Back, and the CLARITY Act Is Days Away | The Block Ep. 53

    Send us Fan Mail The tide is turning in crypto — and this week's episode of The Block breaks down exactly what's happening, what it means, and what you should be watching right now. In this episode, Orange Brick Road founder Brandon covers everything in the latest edition of The Block — your free weekly crypto newsletter — including today's top gainers and losers, the Fear and Greed Index recovery, and the two events that will define the second half of 2026 for crypto investors. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT WE COVER THIS EPISODE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ₿ BITCOIN AT A TWO-WEEK HIGH  BTC hits $65,500 backed by five consecutive days of US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows totalling more than $600 million. After June's record $4 billion in outflows, the institutions that were selling are now buying again. We break down what the return of ETF inflows means for the market and what levels to watch next. 😨 FEAR & GREED INDEX RECOVERS FROM 12 TO 33  One of the fastest sentiment reversals of this entire cycle. We explain what the Fear and Greed Index actually measures, why the recovery from Extreme Fear to Fear matters, and what historically happens next. ⚖️ THE CLARITY ACT — SENATE VOTE WITHIN DAYS  The most important piece of crypto legislation in history is days away from a Senate vote. The White House just agreed on the ethics language that had been blocking the bill for months. The August 8 recess is the hard deadline. We explain what the CLARITY Act actually does, why it matters for Australian investors, and what happens if it passes or fails. 📈 TODAY'S TOP 5 GAINERS  DeXe (DEXE) +7.82% — DAO tooling and governance infrastructure  Pi Network (PI) +6.03% — Mobile-first blockchain with 60M+ accounts  Venice Token (VVV) +4.45% — Private AI inference network  XDC Network (XDC) +3.96% — Enterprise trade finance blockchain  Quant (QNT) +3.92% — Blockchain interoperability infrastructure 📉 TODAY'S TOP 5 LOSERS  Lighter (LIT) -8.11% — DeFi perpetuals trading protocol  Celestia (TIA) -5.92% — Modular data availability blockchain  NEAR Protocol (NEAR) -5.88% — User-friendly Layer 1  Midnight (NIGHT) -5.73% — Cardano privacy sidechain  Pyth Network (PYTH) -5.66% — High-speed oracle network 🗓️ THE FED MEETING — JULY 28–29  Markets are pricing a 82–93% chance of a rate hold at the next FOMC meeting. We explain why this meeting is a binary event for crypto, what a hold means for Bitcoin, and why a dovish signal could push BTC above $68,000 for the first time since May. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📩 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BLOCK — FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER Get this analysis delivered to your inbox every single week — completely free.  👉 https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/PikXq7c0lOfU1aKYog2c 📞 BOOK A FREE 15-MINUTE STRATEGY CALL  Not sure how to position yourself heading into the Fed decision and CLARITY Act vote?

    Bank vs. Bitcoin.

    Send us Fan Mail Bank vs. Bitcoin. The illusion of central bank independence has shattered. With Australian inflation surging and the U.S. Fed Chair openly admitting that political pressure is compromising their neutrality, the fragility of the fiat system has never been more apparent. We are watching a structural shift. While traditional institutions struggle with unsustainable debt and political mandates, Bitcoin continues to operate as the ultimate sovereign technology—neutral, permissionless, and resistant to the devaluation inherent in fiat currency. In my latest article, I explore why Bitcoin fiat stability is becoming the essential foundation for wealth preservation in this new, volatile economic reality. 👉 Read full article: https://orangebrickroad.com.au/bitcoin-fiat-stability-why-fiat-is-failing/ 👉 LinkedIn Discussion: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/orangebrickroad_bitcoin-inflation-centralbanks-activity-7455778490383228928-UGBN #BankVsBitcoin #Bitcoin #Inflation #CentralBanks #Fiat #MacroEconomics #WealthPreservation #FinancialLiteracy #CryptoInvesting #BitcoinFiatStability #OrangeBrickRoad @orangebrickroad @Bitcoin @FEDeralReserve @australianbureauofstatistics What we do at Orange Brick Road in a 1 minute video.   https://orangebrickroad.com.au/ Book a free 15-minute consultation. https://calendly.com/brandon-orangebrickroad/15min-call  Check out Orange Brick Road's website: https://orangebrickroad.com.au/ Join our weekly Newsletter https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/.../PikXq7c0lOfU1aKYog2c  Join our community and stay up to date: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Orangebrickroad...
