Welcome,
We enter August with some great news, as we see the cryptocurrency market finally rebound from its poor performance.
Ethereum showed an astonishing 55% gain in July, while Bitcoin recorded 20%, making it the most successful crypto month since October 2021.
At the same time, the Federal Open Market Committee increased its target for the federal funds rate by 75 basis points (bps) in response to the highest inflation levels in 40 years.
Having “two straight quarters of declines” is tantamount to the definition of a recession, but apparently, according to policymakers, they’re pointing to an altogether different standard.
In other words, they are trying to change the definition of a recession.
Market update
The total global market cap of crypto grew by $70B in the last seven days, with Binance Coin (BNB) and Ethereum (ETH) having the biggest ROI with +17.18% and +16.34% respectively. The average return of the market is +11.44%.
Ethereum Developers Confirms Final Testnet Merger Date
Developers announced that the Goerli testnet merge will happen from August 6–12. This is the final step before the transition of Ethereum from a Proof-of-work (PoW) to a Proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. This is the most awaited update of 2022.
In a recent interview, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, stated that he expects that ‘The Merge’ will not be priced-in immediately, both in market terms and psychological and narrative ones.
Feds Tell Crypto Broker Voyager to Stop Claiming It’s FDIC Insured — Because It’s Not
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has sent a letter to Voyager Digital demanding that the company stop making false claims that its customers’ funds are insured. According to the FDIC, Voyager misled its customers by implying that their uninsured deposits were FDIC-insured. During the first week of July, Voyager filed for bankruptcy protection.
Ethereum Classic Climbs 124% In 2 Weeks
In the past two weeks, the price of Ethereum Classic has doubled against the dollar. Since the 2016 hard fork, Ethereum Classic has utilized the same proof-of-work algorithm for consensus as Ethereum.
Now, with Ethereum’s impending transition to proof-of-stake, there is speculation that some of Ethereum’s proof-of-work miners will switch to mining Ethereum Classic.

One Button Capital Investment Thesis
Investing During A Crypto Bear Market
Time In The Market Vs. Timing The Market
Aggregated return of OB Capital vs. BTC and ETH
Looking at the data between Jul 25, 00:00 UTC and Jul 31, 23:59 UTC we can see that the aggregated return of OB Capital is better than Bitcoin and Ethereum by +4.67% on average.
The top two digital assets began recovering from months of decline. Ether’s price increased by more than +55% in July, while Bitcoin increased by +21.45% in the last 30 days.
On the other hand, in the last 90–180 days, prices show both assets have lost around -36% of their value, indicating that there is still plenty of room for growth.
During this time, the OB Capital strategies saved investors a significant amount of money, creating a great opportunity to capitalize on the current bull market.
