Good to see you this Friday.
Crypto’s latest split is getting harder to ignore: institutional access is broadening, but balance-sheet risk and weak capital support are still punishing companies that used digital assets as treasury strategy. For readers, that means headline adoption can coexist with forced selling, governance shocks, and fragile funding behind the scenes.
A UK-listed firm is now unwinding its entire 668 Bitcoin treasury after a 90% shareholder revolt, locking in a steep per-coin loss. Another crypto company, despite holding millions in Solana, is down to about $4,000 in cash and seeking financing rather than more asset sales.
The global crypto market cap is $2.15 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $64.23 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $62,539.18, and BTC market dominance is 58.3%. The price of Ethereum is $1,859.73, and ETH market dominance is 10.4%. The best-performing sector is DeFAI, which gained 8%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (25).
