The Crypto World is on Fire: Bitcoin Strong, Ethereum Soars, and AI Scams on the Rise!

by
  • Trump Media, apparently playing Monopoly with Bitcoin, placed a cool $2 billion in its treasury. Looks like BTC is the new “safe” bet for political powerhouses. 🤑
  • Visa is going all-in on stablecoins in places like Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where people still remember what cash feels like. 💸
  • AI-driven crypto scams up 456%! You thought your catfish profile was bad? Now it’s AI-powered. Deepfakes, voice clones, phishing bots, you name it. 🤖
  • Financial Times is shaking its head about crypto-backed loans from banks like JPMorgan. If the 2008 crash taught us anything, it’s that “crypto loans” sound suspiciously like “everything’s fine until it isn’t.” 😬

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is still hanging out above $119,000, while Ethereum‘s price has jumped above $3,900. A little bullish momentum, courtesy of institutional flows. The market’s clearly in a good mood, so let’s all pretend we understand what’s going on. 💪

Ethereum made history in July 2025, raking in a record $4.57 billion in net inflows from ETH ETFs. You’d think this was the next iPhone launch, but nope, just Ethereum doing Ethereum things. 📈

On July 25, Ethereum’s ETF took in $452.8 million. A solid vote of confidence from the big guys in suits. I guess they believe in it more than your uncle believes in his gold collection. 🏆

Bitcoin ETFs also had a good July with $547.7 million in inflows, but Ethereum’s got the upper hand in terms of investor interest. A little sibling rivalry never hurt anyone, right? 🤷‍♂️

And to think, a year ago Ethereum was the underdog, with its worst ETF month in July 2024. Now look at it, flipping the script like a Netflix show. 🍿

Trump Media Throws $2 Billion into Bitcoin

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) made waves by placing a whopping $2 billion in Bitcoin. They’ve officially joined the ranks of the BTC elite. And let’s face it, their announcement was less “crypto adoption” and more “just wait till we tweet about it.” 😜

A recent scam network in Vietnam made off with funds from the U.S., proving that while AI is doing cool things like curing diseases, it’s also a pro at stealing your crypto. Not exactly what we signed up for. 🙄
