Fear & Greed
73 Greed

Total crypto market cap sits near 2.85T USD with Bitcoin dominance at 58.3%, its strongest share in years. Greed at 73 plus a -3.3% 24h market slide warns that leverage is getting stretched even as price holds.
📡 The Signal
Spain Says Self-Custody Crypto Is Exempt From Form 721 — as Long as You Hold the Keys
Spain's Directorate General of Taxes confirmed in binding consultation V0848-26 that crypto held in self-custody wallets does not need to be reported under Form 721, provided the owner retains control of the private keys and no foreign third-party custodian is involved.
The Data: Form 721, introduced in 2023 with first filings in 2024, targets qualifying virtual currency held abroad above a 50,000 EUR threshold — but only under foreign custody.
The Takeaway: A major European tax authority has formally affirmed that self-custody is not a reporting trigger. If you hold your own keys, keep holding them — and expect other holders across the EU to watch this precedent closely.
📡 Signal vs. Noise
The US 30-year yield hit its highest level since 2002 and Bitcoin barely flinched, bouncing toward 83,500 USD. Glassnode says profit-takers are circling — resilient, not invincible.
XRP holds near 1.51 USD with US spot ETF demand staying elevated. Clearing the 1.60–1.62 USD resistance zone that capped every advance this week opens the path toward 1.80 USD.
Coinbase Clearing LLC is now a registered Derivatives Clearing Organization after an 11-month wait, completing a three-entity regulated stack with round-the-clock USDC settlement for futures, options, and swaps.
The pullback after ZEC's parabolic run looks like overheated perps unwinding rather than conviction selling. Healthy cooldown if support holds; watch funding rates normalize.
Anza dampened speculation of an imminent Alpenglow mainnet activation even as testing milestones stack up. No date yet — treat any timeline chatter with skepticism.
The protocol blocked stolen funds and waived its bounty, a rare compliance-first move that pressures competitors to follow. Expect more bridge-level blacklisting.
🔢 By the Numbers
$1.79B — XRP spot ETF cumulative inflows
Sustained US demand is the engine behind the 1.80 USD breakout thesis, with XRP market cap near 95 billion USD.
58.3% — Bitcoin market dominance
Capital keeps concentrating in BTC even as total market cap dips 3.3% — altcoin rallies remain funding-constrained.
$55.5M — Weekly NFT sales, up 57%
CryptoPunks did the heavy lifting, proving blue-chip provenance still commands liquidity when collectors return.
