We have one goal: to make sense of what actually moved markets this week and lay out what it means for tomorrow, for you.   Digital Asset Digest is meant to pay homage to a fundamental principle crypto markets thrive on - Volatility. For traders, it is their lifeblood. But what actually drives this fundamental shift in markets, every single day? That is what we want to help our DeFi traders figure out. From macro policy shifts to obscure governance votes, our job becomes to surface signals others miss and tell you why they matter.

Week 12: What made DeFi move? | Fireworks, Parades & Oranges

This twelfth episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest captures a fireworks-filled week across crypto where Bitcoin broke $110K, Solana secured its first ETF, and DeFi served up drama worthy of a Netflix series.

Our hosts unpack Bitcoin’s July breakout to $110,300, driven by over $5.6 billion in ETF inflows and momentum from Trump’s crypto tax proposals. The spotlight then shifts to the historic REX-Osprey Solana ETF launch, boasting 7.3% staking yield and $12M AUM on day one. We also dive into Circle’s stablecoin revolution, the GENIUS Act’s landslide Senate passage, and Polygon’s explosive $170M DeFi launch with Katana.

But not all fireworks were celebratory. With $2.5B in crypto hacks in just H1 2025, security is under the microscope. We close with key market insights, alpha picks (BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC, USDC), and reflections on what this week tells us about the maturity and fragility of crypto’s next chapter.
