On a brighter note, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) plans to approve additional cryptocurrency licenses by the end of the year. This move aims to bolster the regionβs reputation as a hub for digital assets, opening doors for innovation and investment in the crypto space.

MicroStrategy: The Bitcoin Bank? π¦
MicroStrategy is making headlines as it plans to transform into a Bitcoin bank, currently holding over $15 billion in BTC reserves. Their net asset value premium has surged to 2.5 times its Bitcoin holdings, the highest since February 2021. This strategic shift could have profound implications for the crypto market.
Market Insights: Bitcoin & Ethereum π
Bitcoin ($BTC) Key Levels:
- 53,000
- 66,000
- 73,794 (All-Time High)
Weβve witnessed a textbook break of trendline resistance, with this weekβs bounce from trendline support. Despite a moderate US rate-cutting cycle now pricing in a 25 basis point cut and a 13% chance of no cut, both equities and crypto markets are experiencing a surge. The VIX volatility index (the fear gauge) remains above 20, indicating heightened awareness of upcoming risks, including potential geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty surrounding Chinaβs stimulus program.
Notably, Bitcoin has several catalysts propelling its momentum. Michael Saylor announced that MicroStrategy will pursue becoming a “Bitcoin bank,” allowing leverage of BTC into other securities. This is substantial news, especially with their $15 billion Bitcoin inventory.
Ethereum ($ETH) Key Levels:
- 2,099
- 2,860
- 3,640
- 4,000
Ethereum has established a solid base and is rallying alongside other risk assets, outperforming Bitcoin in recent returns. While ETH shows strong short-term performance, Bitcoin remains the longer-term leader due to its structural advantages.
