🌍 Global Crypto News

Ethereum OG Investor Nets $20 Million

A crypto investor who bought 14,495 ETH back in 2016 for just $115,000 — at a price of $7.9 per ETH — has partially cashed out. Selling 4,723 ETH at $4,140 each brought in a staggering $20 million profit. The move highlights just how life-changing early adoption can be in crypto.

DeFi Liquidity Hits Record $270 Billion

The decentralized finance sector reached a historic liquidity high in July, surpassing $270 billion in total value locked (TVL). Ethereum continues to dominate the market with $166 billion TVL, underscoring its role as the backbone of DeFi infrastructure.

Bitcoin & Ethereum Price Surges

In overnight trading, Bitcoin tested the $122,000 mark while Ethereum broke past $4,300 — levels that have fueled bullish sentiment across the market. The surge adds weight to speculation that another leg up in the bull cycle could be underway.

CEA Industries Becomes Largest Corporate BNB Holder

CEA Industries has purchased 200,000 BNB, making it the largest corporate holder of the Binance native token. This strategic acquisition signals growing institutional interest in exchange-based ecosystems.

Uniswap DAO to Become a Legal Entity in Wyoming

In a move to enhance governance and ensure legal clarity, decentralized exchange Uniswap will register its DAO as an official legal entity under Wyoming law. This will allow it to legitimately collect a portion of trading fees and formalize operational structures.

Final Take

From million-dollar Ethereum cash-outs to record-breaking DeFi liquidity and institutional crypto moves, the industry continues to evolve at lightning speed. Meanwhile, project-level activity remains strong, offering active community members new opportunities to earn rewards, collect badges, and position themselves ahead of upcoming token launches.
