Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.
Hey, it’s Crypto Willy with your unfiltered, no-BS scoop on all things smart crypto investing this third week of July 2025. Buckle up, because Bitcoin and the alt scene are putting on an absolute show, and big moves are in the forecast.
Bitcoin has been the headline-grabber once again, sitting pretty around $118,000 to $122,000 this week. That’s just a stone’s throw from its all-time high, and we’ve seen bullish breakouts fueled by record ETF inflows and a crypto market cap that nuked the $4 trillion mark for the very first time. CryptoQuant is highlighting that Bitcoin still has room to run, pointing to the STH MVRV metric that says we’ve got another 20–25% upside before major profit-taking resets the market. That puts a $140,000 BTC seriously within reach if momentum holds.
But it’s not just hope and hype—fundamentals are solid. Brandon Lutnick and Cantor Fitzgerald are making headlines with a massive $3.5 billion Bitcoin acquisition from Blockstream’s Adam Back via their BSTR Holdings SPAC. This move echoes the MicroStrategy playbook that Michael Saylor made famous, where BTC is treated as the ultimate digital treasury reserve. Institutions are in and they’re playing for keeps, not flips.
For the tech nerds out there, let’s talk about the growing ties between Bitcoin and the U.S. M2 money supply. Analysts are noticing that BTC price moves typically lag the M2 by about 10–12 weeks—when there’s more USD sloshing around, risk assets like Bitcoin go vertical. With President Donald Trump floating the idea of opening the $9 trillion U.S. retirement fund market to Bitcoin, there’s a real possibility of even more institutional cash joining the party before year’s end.
Meanwhile, altcoins are coming off the bench and getting in the game. Ethereum, following its ETF launch—which, by the way, has seen jaw-dropping inflows above even Bitcoin’s—has powered past $6,600 as of Friday, with DeFi blue chips like Solana and Layer-2 upstarts riding its coattails. Mutuum Finance is the latest project to watch, nearing the close of its Phase 5 token sale as market participants eye explosive growth.
Trading strategies right now mean keeping sharp on momentum and macro news. With the STH MVRV saying we’re not at euphoria yet, trend-followers are holding longs with stops around $114,000, while range traders are playing the $118,000–$123,000 band. On the altcoin side, it’s breakout hunting on ETH, Solana, and anything showing big volume spikes as capital rotates away from Bitcoin’s consolidation.
One thing worth watching: quantum computing chatter is back in the headlines. According to some experts, nearly half of surveyed crypto pros think quantum computers could crack Bitcoin encryption within the next decade. Eight percent say there’s no threat, but the rest are hedging their bets. Expect more debate (and maybe some wild price action) as the arms race between cryptography and quantum tech heats up.
