ALL STORIES →Crypto market recap: prices barely move — and Bitcoin is trading like a tech stock again
Another quiet, pale-green day: Bitcoin sits near $64,300, the whole board is up a fraction, and the mood is still cautious. Two things are worth a beginner's time. First, the big Bitcoin funds keep pulling money in — over $170 million on Tuesday alone — which extends the ETF turn we flagged yesterday. Second, Bitcoin is once again moving in near-lockstep with the stock market and gold, and understanding why is one of the most useful things a new investor can learn.
Crypto market recap: your regular brokerage now sells Bitcoin — and the ETF tide just turned
Two things worth your attention today. First, prices barely moved: Bitcoin holds near $64,000, and the whole board is a quiet, pale green. Second, the plumbing shifted underneath. Morgan Stanley's E*TRADE has finished rolling out spot Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana trading to roughly 8.6 million everyday clients — and after a summer of Ethereum out-gathering Bitcoin, the big Bitcoin funds have suddenly flipped back to strong inflows. Here is what both actually mean for a beginner.
Crypto market recap: Wall Street is back — and the market's quiet answer is one word, dominance
On Sunday we said the real verdict would arrive Monday, when the big trading desks return to work. Monday is here, and the answer is a shrug: prices are barely changed, fear still edges the mood, and Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP are all within a hair of Friday's levels. So today we use the calm to explain the one number that quietly frames this whole summer's story — Bitcoin dominance — and why Ethereum keeps chipping away at it.
Crypto market recap: a quiet weekend steadies the market after August's red open
After the first day of August closed in the red, the market spent the weekend doing very little — and that is the point. Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest drifted a fraction higher on thin Sunday volume, clawing back a sliver of Friday's dip. With the Fed already done for the summer and no big data due, this is one of those calm stretches worth understanding. Here is what a quiet weekend actually tells you, and what is on the calendar next.
Crypto market recap: August opens in the red — but the July ETF scorecard tells the real story
The first day of a new month is a small down day: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP each slipped about 2%, giving back a sliver of July's strong run. But the number that actually matters landed with the month-end tally. Bitcoin's ETFs just posted their smallest month of new money on record, while Ethereum's ETFs quietly out-gathered them for a third straight week. The slow rotation these recaps have tracked all summer now has a full month of receipts.
Crypto market recap: crypto beat the stock market in July — so why is everyone scared?
It is the last day of July, and the month-end scorecard is lopsided: Ethereum is up about 20% and Bitcoin about 9%, while the tech-heavy stock market fell. Crypto quietly won the month. Yet the fear gauge just slipped to 25 — Extreme Fear. That gap between what prices did and how people feel is today's whole story. Plus: Wall Street's biggest names just lined up behind a new dollar-token on Ethereum.
