Welcome,
Crypto continues its march towards the Promised Land as we see another small increase in prices across the whole market. With Ethereum’s testnet just around the corner, some experts are predicting up to $10,000 per Ether in the near future.
Personally, I do not like to speculate on prices, but rather leave it all to the AI. Doing so in the past two years has been a success, with this July being the best month in the current bear market.
You can read our freshly released Report for a full breakdown of the performance. Inside you will also get an economic update on the cryptocurrency, stock, and gold markets; a guide on how to read your trading bot’s charts; and in-depth research on three topics.
Market update
The global market cap for crypto grew by over $110B in the last week, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing 3.76% of its stake — showing a proportionately bigger inflow towards altcoins.
BNB and Polkadot are the two largest gainers in the last 7 days with a +14.69% and +12.38% ROI, respectively. Even the recently hacked Solana gained +2.05%.
BlackRock Joins Crypto: Signs Deal With Coinbase
Coinbase shares increased by 30% after the exchange announced a partnership with BlackRock that will allow its institutional clients to purchase bitcoin. Coinbase will offer cryptocurrency trading, custody, prime brokerage, and reporting services.
With more than $9.6 trillion under management, BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager. The inflow to the crypto market can have a very positive effect, but it is also important that big institutions do not acquire a very large stake.
Bitcoin’s Biggest Maxi Steps Down From CEO Role
Michael Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy, has stepped down to focus on the acquisition of bitcoin. To dispel rumors that he was forced to leave due to a failed strategy, Saylor stated that the price of bitcoin has increased by 94% since Microstrategy implemented its bitcoin strategy in 2020.
In a Cryptocurrency Heist, Hackers Steal $5M and Compromise 8,000 Solana Wallets.
An attack on the Solana ecosystem compromised thousands of Solana-based wallets and stole approximately $5M in assets. According to the Solana team, the addresses compromised in the hack were linked to the crypto wallet app Slope, where users’ private keys were exposed. Your keys have not been compromised if you use a hardware wallet.

Investing During A Crypto Bear Market
Time In The Market Vs. Timing The Market
Aggregated return of OB Capital vs. BTC and ETH
Bitcoin faced a slight drop during the observed period, but overall it is still on track to keep its July momentum. On the other hand, Ethereum does not look like stopping any time soon and is on a serious rally towards the $2,000 mark.
One Button Capital returned +1.86% last week and is on a +10.55% spree in the last 30 days. In the last 90 days, OBC returned +8.06%, while BTC and ETH lost -25.29% and -27.41%.
Top trading strategy
With the start of a bull run, there is no way that the Clipper AI strategy will stay behind. The specifically designed for uptrends trading robot managed to return a +1.84% gain in the last week (averaged for all bots created under the strategy).
Top-performing market pairs
This week we have some unusual market pairs in the top two positions of the ranking. Thanks to surging NFT volumes, AVAX jumped by more than +15%. The Performer v2 strategy was successful in catching the trend and recorded an average of +16.13% in the market pair.

Crypto is finally returning to normal, and we are looking forward to seeing how the big technological updates will impact the market in August and September. Having institutions from the rank of BlackRock join in on the ride gives us a good sign as well.
Several companies being hacked even today raises concerns about the market’s ability to scale to previous heights, but my participation in two recent Blockchain conferences instills me confidence that we will form a better foundation for the new Web3 economy.
Let this Crypto Domino Effect be the last of its kind.
Max Yampolsky,
CEO at One Button Capital
