Welcome to this week’s AVA and crypto market update! This update covers news from 11 July-17 July 2025.

Crypto Market Update

The top stories from the broader market:

⚖️ US Crypto Week Legislation: It was a landmark week for crypto legislation in the US, with ‘Crypto Week’ resulting in the House of Representatives passing two key bills: the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act. The GENIUS Act sets out stablecoin-related provisions, while the CLARITY Act functions as a broader cryptocurrency framework. A third bill, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, was also added and passed following a group of Republicans flipping sides over the lack of provisions banning CBDCs in the CLARITY Act, which the third bill now addresses separately. The three bills are expected to be signed into law by President Trump today.

📈 $4 Trillion Crypto Market Cap: The crypto market crossed the $4 trillion mark for the very first time on Thursday. The market first crossed $3 trillion in November 2021 amidst pandemic-fuelled interest and the peak of the NFT market. Bitcoin maintains about 60% dominance, with Ethereum at 11% at the time of writing. Bitcoin’s market cap also surpassed $2.4 trillion mid-week, pipping Amazon to make it the world’s fifth-largest asset.

💸 BTC ETF Inflows Surge: Over $2.7 billion in BTC ETF inflows were recorded last week (7-11 July), making it the third-largest week of inflows this year, despite the rising price of BTC. For the first time, over $1 billion in net inflows took place on back-to-back days: 10 and 11 July. It marks the fifth consecutive week of net positive inflows into BTC ETFs, with over $2 billion already recorded this week (14-17 July) and one day left.
