The post Bitcoin trades above key technical support as 307 day consolidation nears historic record appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin BTC$64,359.32 is trading around $64,000, marking 307 days within the $60,000- $70,000 range. The consolidation range is now the third longest period spent in any $10,000 price band in bitcoin’s history, behind only the $10,000-$20,000 and $20,000-$30,000 ranges during the bear markets of 2018 and 2022 respectively, according to Glassnode data. From a technical perspective, bitcoin continues to trade above its 200-week moving average, currently around $62,873. Historically, prolonged moves below this level have been short lived, making it a closely watched gauge of the long term trend. Despite holding near $64,000, bitcoin remains roughly 50% below its all-time high reached in October. Onchain data also points to a significant area of support.

The post Treasury Transfers ≠ Selling: How to Read Bitcoin Flows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
You see a massive Bitcoin transfer hit the chain. A treasury wallet shuffles coins. Twitter lights up. Everyone yells sell. But there is no spike in exchange inflows. So what actually happened? This piece is a playbook for reading treasury-sized moves without getting trapped by scary-looking transactions. We will break down why coins move, how to check if it is heading toward market liquidity, and what signals matter more than a single splashy transaction. The short version: movement is not intent. Coins can shift for security, accounting, or settlement reasons without touching an order book. Let’s get precise.

What to Know
Exchange flows vs. internal moves
Only deposits to known exchange clusters add immediate sell pressure. Internal or custodian hops do not.
Common non-selling reasons

The post Japan’s ‘invest locally’ plan likely to spur demand for assets like bitcoin (BTC), gold: Crypto Daily appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
This hidden form of taxation, first used by nations after World War II, allows authorities to finance deficits cheaply, gradually erode the real value of the debt burden through moderate inflation, and avoid the relatively damaging alternatives of outright default or severe austerity. (Other indebted nations like the U.S., U.K. and European countries may do the same soon enough.) Such an environment creates a strong incentive to seek assets with limited supply that may preserve purchasing power, such as bitcoin and gold. BTC has already proved its mettle: Housing prices measured in bitcoin look far cheaper than in dollars. But there’s a near-term risk worth noting. The GPIF holds $931 billion in foreign assets, including $232.1 billion in U.S. Treasuries. A slight diversion of capital to local assets may create jitters on Wall Street, pote
The post Metaplanet and partners open joint study into Bitcoin-backed digital credit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Metaplanet (TYO: 3350), Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has started a joint study with three partners into Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. The Bitcoin treasury company made this known via its X account, releasing a “Notice of Commencement of a Joint Study in the Digital Credit Domain Utilizing $BTC, $JPYC, and Security Tokens.” The study groups Metaplanet with its brokerage arm Metaplanet Securities, yen-stablecoin issuer JPYC, and digital securities platform Progmat. Progmat published its own release on the collaboration the same day. The four entities are examining how Bitcoin (BTC), the JPYC stablecoin, and security tokens could combine into a blockchain-based system for issuing and managing credit products such as corporate bonds. What would the study model do? Each asset plays a unique role in the proposed structure, with Bitcoin sitting as colla

Metaplanet has started a joint study into Bitcoin-backed digital credit products with stablecoin issuer JPYC, tokenization company Progmat and its securities arm in Japan. Summary Metaplanet will study Bitcoin-backed credit using JPYC settlement and Progmat’s security token infrastructure in Japan. No product has launched, while issuance timing, yields, terms, and distribution methods remain undecided. Project Nova seeks to turn Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury into collateral for regulated digital credit products. The study will assess whether Bitcoin can support digital corporate bonds and other credit products as collateral or a credit-enhancement asset. However, the companies said they have not decided to issue any product.

The post Cryptoquant CEO Tells Bitcoin Holders to “Hang in There” And That “Bullish Opium Is Coming” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Key Takeaways Ki Young Ju said July 10 that bullish bitcoin catalysts are months away, telling holders to ‘hang in there.’ Cryptoquant’s CEO has warned the bear market that turned in October 2025 could run into early 2027. Bitcoin is trading near $64,000, down about 11% in 2026, with sentiment gauges still deeply bearish. A Statement of Hope The head of the onchain analytics firm delivered the message in his signature aphoristic style, writing on X: “Some bullish Bitcoin opium is coming in the next few months to relieve your bear market pain. Just not yet. Hang in there.” Ju did not specify what the coming relief would be, leaving followers to parse whether he meant a market catalyst, an onchain signal, or simply a bounce. But in any case, the post is notable as it not only comes with the promise of relief but also a warning that the bottom might not
