Summary

We’re celebrating "Crypto Week" as declared by Trump amid the introduction of key regulatory bills. But perhaps more importantly, Bitcoin's new all-time high, Ethereum's rising institutional interest, and Tom Lee's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH supply. Highlights include Base's new "everything app," the trend of Bitcoin miners viewing ETH as a treasury asset, and updates on macroeconomic factors and the Roman Storm trial. This is the hottest news in crypto. —- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance 🦎 COINGECKO API | REAL-TIME CRYPTO PRICE & MARKET DATA https://bankless.cc/coingecko --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Trump’s Crypto Week https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1945144093350207624 2:30 Bankless Summit https://lu.ma/0ph1qg6c 3:50 MARKETS https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1944663480755458526 https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1943664470032576876 https://x.com/glassnode/status/1943661049783431240 https://x.com/glassnode/status/1943661049783431240 https://x.com/ercwl/status/1944759201441477040 https://x.com/jacqmelinek/status/1943373069063786953 9:30 ETH https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1945180957033546069 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1945852323651022910 https://x.com/coinbaseduck/status/1945217164442489220 https://farside.co.uk/btc/ https://farside.co.uk/eth/ https://x.com/NateGeraci/status/1945665209529675794 https://x.com/sassal0x/status/1945662874216788060 16:00 Macro, Inflation, Powell https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/15/cpi-inflation-report-june-2025.html https://polymarket.com/event/us-recession-in-2025 https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1945122105051185367 https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1945507837817303243 https://x.com/BulwarkOnline/status/1945516462199673329 https://polymarket.com/event/will-trump-remove-jerome-powell 23:40 ETH Treasuries to $1B+ (BMNR, SBET, HYPE) https://www.strategicethreserve.xyz/ https://x.com/maxxTFSA/status/1945828721321037966 https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1945263091656057078 https://x.com/bitmnr/status/1944743816986051049 https://www.strategicethreserve.xyz/ https://x.com/JoshwaaaDixon/status/1945851138407792793 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/07/08/ether-treasury-firm-btcs-surges-100-on-100m-eth-buying-plan https://x.com/HyperliquidNews/status/1944704235926434125 https://x.com/ThinkingUSD/status/1944719934128279669 https://x.com/matthuang/status/1944730866858799166 https://x.com/Crypto_McKenna/status/1944706319207845958 35:44 Coinbase’s Base App https://x.com/baseapp/status/1945609622913757190 https://x.com/defiignas/status/1945793215665197468 https://x.com/base/status/1945624674656030985 https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1945676446204412244 https://join.base.app/ https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1943300747635925246 42:40 Crypto Week in Congress https://x.com/BoHines/status/1943728972505714724 https://x.com/RepMaxineWaters/status/1945151846433140920 https://x.com/watcherguru/status/1945667844219277644 https://x.com/campbelljaustin/status/1945857868734816662 https://x.com/zGuz/status/1945682848054174091 47:00 PUMP ICO https://x.com/pumpdotfun/status/1944043746292584849 https://x.com/0xSharples/status/1944111013973876989?1 https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pump-fun https://x.com/hyperstitionHQ/status/1945425882245710186 https://blockworks.co/news/pump-fun-buybacks-axiom-competitor https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/29d8942bfcd0472890c00d30d6b2676c https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/29d8942bfcd0472890c00d30d6b2676c 50:05 Snoop Dogg NFTs https://cointelegraph.com/news/snoop-dogg-nft-collection-telegram-ton-blockchain-sold-out https://x.com/durov/status/1943077902817411292 51:20 Polymarket Cleared by DOJ https://x.com/shayne_coplan/status/1945146324271218767 https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1945156692041457747 53:50 Roman Storm Trial Starts https://www.theblock.co/post/362625/tornado-cash-roman-storm-trial-laundering https://x.com/realDannyNelson/status/1944824924838793454 https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/07/16/hack-victims-say-tornado-cash-offered-no-help-in-the-wake-of-exploits-day-2-of-roman-storm-trial --- Not financial or tax advice.

0:00.0	Bankless Nation is a third week of July. It's time for the bankless weekly roll up. David, it is
0:08.6	crypto week this week. Okay? That's just not, that's not just me talking crypto this week.
0:13.2	Yeah, no, this is Donald Trump declaring it crypto week. He said, happy crypto week. Did you see this?
0:19.3	Where did he say this? You said this on truth social? Yeah, yeah. And the reason why is because the genius bill is in front of the house as well as the Clarity Act, some other house bills for crypto. So he's declaring you and everybody at bankless a happy crypto week. We got to talk about the genius bill. It is a happy crypto week. I felt that
0:37.9	actually this week. Okay. So the genius bill at the time of recording, we don't know whether it has passed or not, but I'm going to go ahead and say it passed. Okay. Bankless listeners, they're living the future. We're recording this on Thursday. The bill is going up for vote at 4 p.m. today. we don't know the outcome yet.
0:34.7	You guys do.
0:36.0	I think it passed, David.
0:37.5	Okay, hold me to that prediction.
0:38.4	I'm assuming that it's passing. for vote at 4 p.m. today. We don't know the outcome yet. You guys do. I think it passed, David.
0:55.5	Okay? Hold me to that. I'm assuming that it's passing is going to pass. And also,
1:00.4	I don't think that that is why the market has pumped, especially Ethereum has pumped. I think that
1:05.1	the market will pump more as a result of this passing. After it passes? After it passes. Oh, of course. It has passed. It has passed. Yes. Yes. Also, we got to talk about Bitcoin hit an all-time high. We got another all-time high week back-to-back. But I do feel like all eyes are on ether this week because there's not a Bitcoin story this week. No, there's been a vibe change. We talked about that last week. but now we've got ETFs, ETHs, breaking all-time high records.
1:33.9	We also have Tom Lee saying he wants to buy 5% of all ETH supply. That's a true story. How much? That's like 6 million ether. And he is
1:43.1	not anywhere close to 6 million ether right now.
1:45.8	He's got to work his way up, but he's getting there.
1:47.6	And then of course, I'll cover the Pump Fun ICO because we don't want Ryan to do that.
1:51.3	How did it go?
1:52.3	Who bought in?
1:53.4	What happened afterwards?
1:54.6	And then Coinbase launched its Everything app, brand new release out of Coinbase.
1:59.5	We're entering in the world where crypto companies, like Robin Hood, Coinbase, they are doing their own internal, like,
