Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
A $43 billion retreat from Ethereum Layer-2s should have cracked the broader crypto story. Instead, Ethereum mainnet DeFi is holding near $40 billion, Bitcoin is absorbing a hawkish Fed shock, and the market’s attention is drifting toward tokenized real-world assets. Is this a structural vote against Layer-2 economics, or the beginning of a more institutional crypto cycle? We unpack why Bitcoin held near $64,000 while long Treasury yields pushed above 5%, why ETH faces a decisive $2,000 threshold, and why ONDO is gaining traction as RWA value reaches $32.2 billion. Then comes the uncomfortable question around TIA unlocks, leverage, and ARB’s liquidity problem. https://deepmarket.report/en/report/crypto/2026-07-30?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=podcast-crypto-en&utm_content=2026-07-30-en&utm_term=report_link
