GM, APRA Fam,
Welcome back to Crypto Insights, your weekly guide to the boldest moves and biggest shifts across the digital asset space. Let’s break it down:
1️⃣ Bitcoin rockets to new ATH, but alts are heating up too 🚀
Bitcoin just smashed into fresh price discovery territory, hitting $122,780thanks to massive U.S. ETF inflows.📈 $2.72B flowed in over five days, with BlackRock’s IBIT becoming the fastest ETF ever to hit $80B AUM.
But don’t sleep on altcoins, ETH ETFs saw $383M in a day, and corporate treasuries are expanding into ETH and SOL. Upexi raised $200M for Solana, and SBET bought 10,000 ETHstraight from the Ethereum Foundation.
2️⃣
Pump.fun sells out $600M ICO in 12 minutes 💣
Solana’s memecoin factory
Pump.fun launched its TGE and obliterated expectations.🔥 It raised $600Min 12 minutes, selling 150B tokens at a $4B valuation across exchanges like Bybit. Overwhelming demand even forced Bybit to pause and refund some users. The mission? “Kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch… on Solana.” With launch incentives and $600M in firepower,
Pump.fun just leveled up and isn’t fading anytime soon.
3️⃣Stablecoins hit ATHs as fresh liquidity floods in 💵
Stablecoins are pumping hard:
USDC: up $1.3B this month to $62.8B
USDT: up $1.4B to nearly $160B
These inflows are a clear signal that new money is entering the system. Historically, surging stablecoin supply = fuel for the next leg up and that leg may already be forming.
