Price drop: Bitcoin fell below $117,000, its sharpest pullback in a month.
Seasonal risk: Ghost month has historically brought average declines of 21.7%.
Demand support: Coinbase Premium and Kimchi Premium indexes show strong US and Korean spot buying.
Stablecoin flows: $3.88 billion in USDC inflows hint at fresh buying power.
From Italy to a Nasdaq Reservation
How do you follow record-setting success? Get stronger. Take Pacaso. Their real estate co-ownership tech set records in Paris and London in 2024. No surprise. Coldwell Banker says 40% of wealthy Americans plan to buy abroad within a year. So adding 10+ new international destinations, including three in Italy, is big. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

“Collective buy bids were spread across Coinbase, Bitfinex, and the South Korean market,” said trader Hansolar.
“USDC inflows surged since the dip, showing traders are ready to deploy capital,” analyst Maartunn added.
Ether unstaking queue hits $3.8B
Ethereum sees record withdrawals, testing support at $4,200.
Queue size: 877,106 ETH, worth $3.88B, is waiting for unstaking with a 15-day delay.
Leading platforms: Lido, EthFi, and Coinbase account for most withdrawals.
Institutional demand: ETF and treasury holdings jumped 140% since May, reaching over 10M ETH.
Price risk: $1.2B in long positions face liquidation if ETH drops to $4,200.
“Investors may be freeing liquidity now to re-enter through ETH staking ETFs later,” said DeFi analyst Ignas.
“The approval could come as early as October 2025,” added Bloomberg’s James Seyffart.
Bitcoin advocate urges Ethereum investors to switch before a crash.
This is your last chance to sell ETH above 0.03 BTC.
Well, after you wait two weeks to exit the validator queue and then another 9 days for the sweep delay

Warning level: “Last chance to sell ETH above 0.03 BTC,” Mow said.
Unstaking factor: 768,400 ETH worth $3.5B will unlock in two weeks.
BTC outlook: Mow repeats his call for Bitcoin to reach $1 million after ETF and treasury accumulation.
“This is the last chance to save your investments by moving into Bitcoin,” said Samson Mow.
“The White House plans to build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, making demand shocks more likely,” he added.
