The Bitcoin (BTC) mining difficulty hit an all-time high of 127.6 trillion this week, but is projected to drop during the next difficulty adjustment on August 9.
Mining difficulty is expected to fall by about 3% to 123.7 trillion in the next adjustment period, and the current average block time is about 10 minutes and 20 seconds, according to CoinWarz.
Data from CryptoQuant shows that the mining difficulty fell in June, with a sharp drop-off at the end of month and the first two weeks of July, when difficulty fell to 116.9 trillion. However, the difficulty level resumed its long-term uptrend in the latter half of July.
Bitcoin mining difficulty, and the network’s hashrate — the total computing power committed to securing the network — is central to miner profitability and maintaining Bitcoin’s high stock-to-flow ratio, which protects BTC’s price from overproduction.

Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment and the stock-to-flow ratio
Stock-to-flow ratio measures the total available supply of a financial asset or commodity against the newly created supply added by miners or commodity producers.
The higher the ratio, the more resilient the asset or commodity is to price changes caused by overproduction; the lower the ratio, the more the asset or commodity will be impacted by new supply.
This ratio is partially why silver was demonetized by gold. Silver has a lower stock-to-flow ratio than gold. Rising silver prices attract miners and producers to create more supply, which floods the market with new silver and depresses prices.
Bitcoin has a higher stock-to-flow ratio than gold, with about 94% of BTC’s 21 million supply already mined and circulating in the markets. Gold, in comparison, has no hard supply cap and an inflation rate of about 2% per year.

“Gold scarcity, the stock-to-flow ratio, is about 60. Bitcoin’s scarcity is about 120. So, bitcoin is 2x scarcer than gold,” according to PlanB, the creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow price analysis model.
The difficulty adjustment makes Bitcoin’s price inelastic to production, which is kept proportional to the total computing power deployed by miners.
Adjusting difficulty prevents overproduction and subsequent price collapses due to new supply being dumped on the market in large quantities over a short period of time.

As more computing power is deployed to secure the Bitcoin network, the difficulty rises to match the new computing resources, keeping block production as close to the protocol’s 10-minute target as possible.
Conversely, if computing power drops, the network difficulty adjusts down to ensure new blocks are mined at a steady pace of about 10 minutes.

ZK Zyra, a ZK (zero-knowledge) protocol, has announced a strategic partnership with Ispolink, an AI-driven Web3 gaming platform.
With this partnership, Ispolink aims to enhance the growth of its Web3 gaming network.
Current Web3 games are developed on the assumption that all game data is available to anybody who has access to the blockchain. But how do players play games where transparency and privacy are essential?
This explains why this partnership is important. ZK Zyra enables Ispolink to create confidential game mechanics that ensure user experiences are both private and personal.
Ispolink Taps ZK Zyra
Ispolink partnered with ZK Zyra to advance its AI-powered Web3 gaming through ZK technology.
With this alliance, Ispolink wants to build safe, AI-driven Web3 games that emphasize data protection and user privacy by leveraging the strengths of the two firms to offer innovative solutions.
The alliance addresses major challenges in blockchain and artificial intelligence by pushing for enhanced advancement in scalability and user privacy protection.
Ispolink will integrate its AI-powered web3 games with Zyra’s ZK technology. Zyra’s ZKPs will enable Ispolink’s information to be verifiable without disclosing the underlying data, like confidential user data, gaming mechanics, and other sensitive information.
With this alliance, Ispolink brings an encrypted knowledge layer for its AI infrastructure to function effectively without infringing on user data and to lay the foundation for the AI-powered Web3 gaming ecosystem that maintains data privacy and integrity.
How ZK Proofs Is Redefining Web3 Gaming
As blockchain gaming continues to advance, the demand for security, equity, and privacy is becoming more crucial than before. Players and gaming development companies increasingly focus on decentralized ownership of assets, user data protection, and fair play.
This is where ZK proofs come in. Zero-knowledge proofs are not only redefining the world of Web3 applications, but they are also reshaping gaming and AI impacts, ensuring verifiable transactions, player privacy, and transparency.
This technology is immensely crucial in blockchain gaming where DApps rely on transparency, but gamers may not want every transaction or activity interaction to be public.
For game development firms (like Ispolink), zero-knowledge proofs unleash new opportunities for building games where fairness, transparency, and competitive privacy coexist. For players, this tech helps them govern their in-game assets and interact with Web3 environments without infringing their confidentiality.
The founder and CEO of digital asset investment firm BKCM, Brian Kelly, believes Bitcoin (BTC) could skyrocket by triple-digit percentage points if a core use case is heavily adopted.
In an interview on the RiskReversal Media YouTube channel, Kelly says Bitcoin could explode by around 600% from the current level if the crypto king reaches the current market cap of gold.
“Let’s just say all you do is use it [Bitcoin] as a substitute for gold. That’s one use case among many others… …and it takes over gold.
I think the market cap of gold right now is somewhere around $15 trillion… …and Bitcoin is at what? $2.5 trillion. Something like that. $2.5 trillion to $15 [trillion]. That’s a 7x, right? So, that’s not bad.”
Bitcoin is trading at $115,580 at time of writing, down by around 6% from the all-time high reached in mid-July.
According to the digital asset investor, Bitcoin is the “most important innovation in the last 600 years of financial history.”
“It is the equivalent of the Medicis [Italian banking family]… …the Medicis started using double-entry accounting. That’s what they pioneered. And they developed basically our modern financial system, [which] is double entry accounting with a bunch of big institutions on either side. Bitcoin comes along and just automates that all.
So when I look at any other asset, any other industry out there that got disrupted by software, which is all that Bitcoin is… If I look at what happened to the post office when email came around, what happened to media when YouTube came around, what happened to radio programs when podcasts came around, they all got completely disrupted.
And that’s what you’re speculating on – that Bitcoin is going to disrupt the financial inner workings as we know it. And the technology behind Bitcoin, and the currency behind Bitcoin, will be used as this new, improved financial plumbing.”
SUI crypto price has been in free fall since Monday, marking its first major bearish pivot since it started rallying in late June.
While most top coins also experienced a retracement this week, Sui’s performance was more noteworthy considering the extent of its pullback.
For context, SUI lost over $3 billion from its market cap since Monday. This translated to ove 20% pullback from its $4.4 weekly top to its $3.36 press time price tag.

This latest pullback occurred after SUI price formed a bearish divergence. Moreover, its money flow indicator revealed that liquidity has been flowing out of the coin since mid-July.
However, the sharp decline suggested that other factors might have contributed to the bearish momentum.
SUI Price Takes a Hit Post Token Unlock
SUI’s sharp pullback followed the much anticipated token unlock event yesterday. Roughly 56.91 million new SUI coins added to the circulating supply on 1 August.
The token unlock event made SUI the highest number of tokens added to the circulating supply this month.
This token unlock event may have contributed heavily to the selloff this week, with investors exiting in anticipation of the downside.
The pullback also led to a retest of SUI’s previous descending resistance trend line. Some analysts predicted that the cryptocurrency may bounce back from the same trend line and possibly resume its previous bullish momentum.
SUI crypto already demonstrated support formation near the same descending trend line, suggesting that a bounce back in the coming days was plausible.
Moreover, its spot flow data revealed that the sell pressure was steadily declining. Furthermore, a glance at large order flow data revealed that whales were buying the dip.
OKX and Binance spot segments registered roughly $30 million worth of spot inflows into whale addresses.
The size of derivatives positions was even more impressive on the two exchanges, which registered over $152 million worth of buys.
While the data signaled a potential bullish comeback, the extent of the recovery would be determined by whether overall market sell pressure would prevail.
SUI price still managed to maintain a 30.15% gain in July from its opening to closing price despite the recent pullback.
Failure to secure a bounce back on the aforementioned descending resistance turned support may lead to more downside.
If this outcome occurs, then price could potentially push into the $3.37 to $3.12 price range, which aligns with the key Fibonacci retracement range.
Sui Network Performance Recap
SUI network achieved noteworthy performance over the last few months, with 2025 shaping out to be even better than its performance in 2024.
The network’s monthly DEX volume surged as high as $14.26 billion in July, making it the highest monthly DEX volume in its history.

The peak DEX volume confirmed that the network continued to experience robust activity. SUI’s total value locked also clocked a new historic high at $2.29 billion on 28 July.
Network liquidity peaked at $1.24 billion in mid-July, after which it retraced and even briefly dipped below $1 billion. However, it has since recovered and hovered around $1.08 billion at press time.
Based on these findings, it was safe to say that SUI network activity in 2025 has been superior to its performance in the previous year.
The value of the newly added tokens was less than 2% of the overall market cap. As far as the SUI price performance is concerned, impact of the latest token unlock is likely to be temporary.
Bitcoin miners struck gold in July, hitting their highest earnings since the April 2024 halving. In fact, July’s mining income jumped approximately 19.42% higher compared to June.
Bitcoin Miners Rejoice With July Windfall
Bitcoin’s price action gave miners a much-needed boost last month, with July clocking in as their best payday since the April 20, 2024 halving. Back then—more than a year ago—miners raked in $1.79 billion. This July, they pulled in a solid $1.66 billion in total earnings from fees and block rewards, according to data from theblock.co.
Source: Bitcoin Miner Revenue (Monthly) from theblock.co.
In June 2025, miners hauled in $1.39 billion, so July’s total marked a $270 million jump—or a 19.42% increase in revenue. Of the $1.66 billion earned in July 2025, just $16.43 million came from onchain fees. Fee revenue has been noticeably thinner this year; for context, back in April 2024, when miners brought in $1.79 billion, a hefty $281.47 million of that came from fees alone.
While hashprice—the estimated earnings from 1 petahash per second (PH/s) of hashpower—held up decently in July, August opened with a bit of a dip. On July 2, the value of 1 PH/s stood at $58.40, but that figure has slipped 2.81% to $56.76. That means a full exahash per second (EH/s) now fetches $56,760, down from $58,400 just a month ago.
This dip in revenue has tightened the screws on miners. The total hashrate peaked at 943 EH/s on July 26, but by a week later, it had eased down to 900.29 EH/s. Block times have stretched out, too, averaging 10 minutes and 16 seconds as of 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Saturday. If this pace continues, miners could be looking at a difficulty drop when the next adjustment hits on Aug. 9, 2025.
Bitcoin, the daddy of all crypto, recently soared to an all-time high (ATH) price of $122,838, little under a week ago, igniting renewed bullish momentum across the market. Today, prices have been falling across the board for two reasons: Trump’s controversial tariffs take effect today, and investors are cashing in on recent explosive gains.
Renewed optimism has buoyed the entire crypto sector, boosting major altcoins and the very best meme coins alike. In the last year alone, assets like XRP, TRON, Sui, Solana, Pepe, TrumpCoin, SPX6900, and FartCoin have all logged new record highs—evidence of growing investor confidence in the sector’s long-term trajectory.
There are also sign that the US government is going to make good on its word to regulate crypto. Yesterday, the SEC announced “Project Crypto“, a series of initiatives that will modernise American securities laws to hopefully give the industry the clarity it has long called for.
With bullish sentiment returning, attention is shifting to coins set to break through previous price ceilings.
Ripple’s XRP reached a new ATH of $3.65 on July 18, surpassing its former record of $3.40 set back in 2018. The token now trades at around $2.91—a 20% pullback from its latest peak, yet still up 33% over the last month, indicating high profitability relative to its competitors.
Renowned for allowing real-time international transactions with minimal fees, XRP has become a favorite among financial institutions. Its adoption by entities such as the United Nations has reinforced its standing in the global payments arena.
A turning point came in 2023 when a U.S. court ruled that XRP’s retail sales do not constitute securities—a legal win that provided clarity and helped spark renewed institutional interest by 2025.
The result? XRP has exploded 378% over the last 365 days, dramatically outperforming Bitcoin’s 78% return over the same period.
Technical indicators show some cooling off, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropping from 86 just under a fortnight ago to 48. This indicates sustained sell pressure that still has some mileage before it reaches the oversold 30.
In the last 24 hours alone, XRP has fallen 7.7%, in line with a broader market rout that has shrunk crypto’s collective market cap 8.4% overnight to $3.79 trillion. There’s likely to be more downside until the token’s price converges with its 30-day moving average, which it is now doing for the first time since early July.
Still, robust support near its current level could limit losses, provide a potential reentry point for buyers, and ultimately reverse its downward course.
A bullish flag pattern, formed between late 2024 and early April, suggests XRP could attempt a breakout toward the $4 level later this year.
Solana ($SOL): High-Speed Ethereum Rival Crypto on the Brink of Explosive Price Rebound
Solana ($SOL) continues to prove its mettle as a high-performance crypto platform, known for rapid transaction processing and extremely low price transactions. With a market cap of more than $90 billion and total value locked (TVL) surpassing $9.55 billion (according to DeFiLlama), Solana is now a heavyweight in the DeFi space.
Speculation is intensifying that Solana may soon receive approval for a spot ETF, following similar recent approvals for Bitcoin and Ethereum—an event that could open the floodgates for institutional investment, as ETF products include regulatory guardrails that help attract more traditional investors.
Adding intrigue, Donald Trump has floated the idea of including Solana in a potential U.S. Crypto Reserve, which would store seized crypto assets.
SOL has bounced back impressively from its April pullback to $100 after climbing to $250 in February. Currently priced at $167, it has surged 12.1% over the past month, although today’s market-wide dip has shorn 7% from it in the past 24 hours.
Still, today’s sell-off is due to investors flipping to a risk-off outlook as the US begins implementing tariffs on foreign goods that are perceived as stringent. The SEC’s announcement in the last 24 hours that it will begin actively legislating crypto is likely to catalyze a rebound as we get more developments in the coming months.
With SOL’s RSI cooling from an overheated 82 last week down to a neutral 45, the asset may decline a little further before beginning an explosive recovery rally.
Strong support exists around the $150 level, while resistance at $200 and $250 remains the key barrier to retesting the all-time high of $293.31—or even hitting $300 before year-end.
Cardano (ADA): Green Blockchain Challenger Eyes Breakout in 2025
Cardano ($ADA) has regained traction, posting a 28% gain from last month. Its ascent is fueled by positive technical trends and rising institutional interest. Alongside XRP and Solana, it has been mentioned by President Trump as a contender for inclusion in a proposed national crypto reserve.
Founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson in 2014, Cardano’s commitment to peer-reviewed research and its energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model have made it a standout project. The platform helped influence Ethereum’s shift away from energy-heavy mining operations.
Now commanding a market cap of over $25.8 billion, ADA would need to more than triple in price to rival Solana’s market cap and claim the second spot behind Ethereum.
In the past 24 hours, ADA has dipped 8.7%, in line with the broader market rout, maintaining a trend similar to other top altcoins like XRP and Solana.
With the current price hovering around $0.7154, analysts forecast a mid-year target of $1.50. More ambitious outlooks suggest a potential return to the 2021 high of $3.09—a 332% jump from today’s levels.
A bullish flag chart pattern further strengthens the case for more upside. However, the RSI has softened from 85 at the beginning of last week to 44, indicating healthy profit-taking. This mirrors the consolidation seen in XRP and Solana, which may set the stage for renewed gains later in the year.
Key resistance is pegged at $1.15, while support holds strong in the $0.85 to $0.90 zone.
Snorter ($SNORT): Meme Coin Meets Crypto Trading Bot Power in Standout Presale
For investors eyeing the next big opportunity, early-stage crypto launches often deliver the most explosive potential.
Snorter ($SNORT) is one such emerging project—a meme-themed token with actual trading bot utility. Built on Solana and designed for cross-chain use, Snorter integrates directly with Telegram to provide real-time market insights to group chats.
With a lean 0.85% trading fee, Snorter positions itself as a strong competitor to tools like BonkBot, Maestro, and Trojan. Features include front-running-resistant swaps, copy trading, automated limit orders, and tools to detect potential rug pulls—offering a complete suite for active traders.
Investor interest is already surging, with more than $2.6 million raised in preale funding. Ely participants can earn staking rewards of up to 161% APY, although this figure decreases as more participants join the pool. At a price still around $0.10, the token’s cost will rise nominally in upcoming rounds—making earlier participation a little more advantageous.
Whether you’re deep into meme coins or just starting out, Snorter aims to deliver serious utility in an accessible package for the fast-paced world of crypto.
This week marked a turning point in U.S. crypto regulation, as both Congress and regulatory agencies moved forward with frameworks that could finally bring clarity to the digital asset space.
Trump’s Crypto Regulation Roadmap Looks to Cement U.S. Leadership
On July 30, the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets released a 166-page report outlining the Trump administration’s blueprint for transforming the U.S. into the “Crypto Capital of the World.”
The document, which embraces terms like “Golden Age of Crypto,” proposes legislative and regulatory clarity as the foundation for future growth.
Key recommendations include giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) explicit authority over spot markets for non-security digital assets and formally integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) into traditional market infrastructure.
The report also calls for Congress to affirm the right of people to custody their own digital assets and transact peer-to-peer without financial intermediaries.
Additionally, the report reflects a political strategy as well. With Trump enjoying a 72% approval rating among crypto holders—according to internal polling cited in the report—there’s no doubt that crypto policy is becoming a serious campaign platform.
Industry leaders have responded positively. Rebecca Liao, co-founder, and CEO of Web3 protocol Saga, commented: “By today’s standards, this policy document is not controversial and reflects crypto consensus. Because the recommendations are more reasonable, they should be easier to implement than the extreme ideas often floated on Crypto Twitter.”
“Even diehard crypto maxis now accept that unchecked manipulation has eroded trust. For this market to grow sustainably, that issue can’t be ignored much longer,” said Liao.
Congressional Pressure Mounts to Pass Crypto Market Structure Legislation
Following the report’s release, House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill issued a statement urging the Senate to act swiftly.
With the GENIUS Act already the law and the CLARITY Act receiving overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, Hill is pushing for crypto market structure legislation to reach President Trump’s desk.
“I’m pleased to see the Working Group’s strong support of the CLARITY Act,” said Hill. “Now the Senate must expeditiously work to deliver critical legislation that realigns our regulatory landscape with the President’s vision.”
SEC Unveils Project Crypto and Advances ETF Reform
In tandem with the White House roadmap, the SEC launched “Project Crypto,” a sweeping initiative designed to modernize securities laws to accommodate blockchain-based financial products.
Chairman Paul Atkins announced the initiative during a speech at the America First Policy Institute, stating that the time had come to bring crypto asset issuance and trading back to U.S. soil.

Perhaps most impactful is the SEC’s new Generic Listing Standards for crypto exchange-traded products. These rules, published via the CBOE, outline that any crypto asset with active futures markets for at least six months would automatically qualify for ETF listing.
Analysts believe up to a dozen tokens could be approved by October, opening the door to a more inclusive and transparent crypto investment market.

The week’s developments in crypto regulation suggest that after years of fragmented regulation and uncertainty, a new era may be dawning for U.S.-based crypto investors.
Policies are becoming more predictable, access is being broadened, and lawmakers are working in parallel with regulators to build lasting infrastructure.
Laurent Kssis, CEO of CEC Capital and a seasoned crypto ETP expert, welcomed the FCA’s recent decision to allow UK retail investors access to crypto ETNs as a sign that matures regulatory environments are finally gaining momentum.
🚨 The UK FCA will allow retail investors to access crypto ETNs starting Oct 8—reversing a 4+ year ban.#FCA#ETNshttps://t.co/aK2NkOS0Md
As we enter the second half of 2025, the tone is clear: crypto is no longer a fringe asset class. With regulatory foundations being laid in Washington, the opportunity to reshape global digital finance is very much alive—and increasingly being led from the top.
