What’s Driving the Market Today
Today’s pullback is macro-driven rather than crypto-specific. Trump’s new tariff round — 10-12.5% on 60 countries citing forced-labor practices — landed the same day reports surfaced of a US B-1 bomber deployment tied to Iran, sending oil toward $88.60 and Treasury yields higher. The Nasdaq’s more-than-2% slide was sharper than crypto’s overall -1.1%, suggesting digital assets are, for now, tracking rather than leading the risk-off move.
ETF flows tell a more selective story: Ethereum ETFs logged a third straight week of inflows ($103.9 million), the strongest among all spot crypto ETFs, while Bitcoin ETF demand slowed to $33.79 million with two sessions posting net outflows totaling $465 million. Hyperliquid ETFs saw a second consecutive weekly outflow, down 18% in assets since July 10.
Regulatory Watch: CLARITY Act
The CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate. Senate Banking Committee Minority Staff, led by Elizabeth Warren, released a fact sheet on July 24 criticizing the July 22 Republican ethics-compromise text as containing “massive loopholes.” Majority Leader Thune has acknowledged the bill will likely miss the pre-recess deadline; the practical target is now a vote before the Senate’s early-August recess. Polymarket odds for 2026 passage sit in the mid-30s.
Notable Movers
Monero (XMR) bucked the broader trend, up 9.35% over the past week even as most majors declined — a divergence worth watching given the wider privacy-coin narrative also playing out around Zcash’s July 28 Ironwood upgrade. Zcash itself was the sharpest weekly decliner among majors, down 12.15%, in what looks like profile-taking ahead of the fork.
