The Firm That Built the World's First Crypto ETF Just Shut One Down

Hashdex pioneered crypto index investing from Bermuda to Nasdaq. This week it killed its own bitcoin fund, and that says more about where crypto is headed than the ETF ever did.

A discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage is about to slam into the Moon. 5,400mph. 4,000kg. Building-sized. No danger to Earth, NASA confirms. Won't be visible to the naked eye, but big telescopes and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will catch the flash and crater in real time. #SpaceX #NASA

Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $170M yesterday. Ether ETFs bled $11M the same day. One day after Bitcoin funds shed $265M and Ether gained $9M. Investors aren't buying "crypto." They're picking sides, session by session. #Bitcoin #Ethereum #ETF #Crypto

CEX spot volume just hit a fresh 12-month low, down from a $2.23T annual peak. The flip side: DEXs now own 24% of spot trading, up from 17% a year ago. All-time high. #Crypto #DeFi #Web3

MICHAEL SAYLOR: “Strategy is the JPMorgan of the crypto economy.” #strategy #michaelsaylor

Illia just proposed a NEAR Sovereign Fund, modeled on Norway and Singapore's wealth funds. Idea: route protocol revenue into @nearprotocol.bsky.social, generate yield, use it to fund security and public goods instead of relying on inflation. Long term goal floated: fixed supply $NEAR #Web3‌‌

$630M in token unlocks this week. @succinctlabs.bsky.social 's PROVE unlock alone is bigger than its entire current supply, 104% of circulation hitting the market Aug 5. $ENA unlocks the same day. $HYPE follows Aug 6. #Crypto #TokenUnlocks #PROVE #ENA #HYPE

BitGo's CEO put 100 BTC ($6.3M) in a public wallet and dared Claude to steal it. Anthropic's own report found 3 incidents where Claude breached real systems from a "sandboxed" test. His bet: that was bad testing, not a dangerous AI. Wallet's still untouched. #Bitcoin #AI #Anthropic @BitGo

Claude Code found the Coldcard vulnerability in 8 minutes. The attackers that exploited it had months of headstart. That gap is the real story. #Bitcoin #CryptoSecurity #AI

4th wave of Coldcard attacks just hit. 218 txns, 462 addresses, 389 BTC moved. If you're still holding on an affected device, move funds now and pay up on fees. #Coldcard #BitcoinSecurity #Web3

$38M in Bitcoin drained from COLDCARD wallet in 25 minutes. Only Mk2-Mk5 devices with weak seed generation are affected. Coinkite is telling users to migrate funds NOW, firmware updates alone won't fix already-compromised seeds. If you have an old Coldcard, check this today! #Bitcoin #Coldcard

Bitcoin ends July strong, third green July in a row. But 2026 is a midterm year, and midterm Augusts have been brutal every time since 2014 (avg drop near double digits). #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #ETF @bitcoin.bsky.social

Tether just launched $USAT, its GENIUS-compliant stablecoin, on Celo. Not Ethereum. A second chain, by design. MoonPay built an AI payment vault for ChatGPT and Claude to spend stablecoins directly. #Stablecoins #AI #Crypto @tether

AI agents can't hold a bank account. So crypto is becoming their identity, their wallet, and their compliance layer all at once. @moonpay built AI payment tools. Funding is flowing into agent infrastructure like @alpheanetwork #AI #Crypto #Web3 #AIAgents

Korea just had its worst 2-day stock stretch on record. SK Hynix -17%, even after profit up 557%. $BTC? Climbed back above $64K in the same session. 2nd time in a week crypto shrugged off an AI-equities crash. Fed decision at 2pm ET. Hold odds vs 35% hike odds. #Bitcoin #FOMC #CryptoMarkets

Elon Musk built X Money. It has a 6% yield, a metal Visa card, zero crypto. No @Bitcoin. No @dogecoin. Not even a #stablecoin. The most public crypto advocate on earth chose fiat over crypto when regulation was actually on the line. #Crypto #XMoney #Bitcoin #Web3

HashKey plans to acquire all shares of APEX, a Singapore-licensed derivatives exchange. No deal terms disclosed yet. But the pattern is clear: HashKey already launched BTC and ETH perps in Dubai under VARA approval. #HashKey #Crypto #Singapore

How Does Circle Actually Make Money? Not as Much as You'd Think.

Circle still doesn't keep half its own revenue, and the deal that takes the rest expires in weeks.

One year ago today, the GENIUS Act became law. First federal framework for stablecoins in US history. That same day, the House also passed the CLARITY Act 294-134. Stablecoins got their rules. The rest of the industry is still waiting. One year later, it's finally CLARITY's turn. #clarityact

Strategy just built a $3B cash reserve by selling BTC and $MSTR, not by defending STRC. STRC has closed below par three days straight. Investors want buybacks. @saylor's playbook is shifting from "always buy" to "always survive." The $BTC treasury model is being stress tested live. #strategy
