PANews Original | Crypto’s July Rebound: Bottom Signals Flash, but Bitcoin Still Needs $70K July has brought crypto markets their first real relief rally in weeks. bitcoin:native has climbed back above $63,000, while ethereum:native has gained more than 12% over the past week. Altcoins and memecoins are also seeing renewed momentum, supported by improving macro expectations, fresh ETF inflows, whale accumulation near recent lows, and a wave of short liquidations in derivatives markets. Still, this looks more like a relief rally than a confirmed trend reversal. Several on-chain indicators are pointing to a potential bottom, with the Fear & Greed Index, AHR999, and miner stress gauges all sitting near historically low levels. But spot demand remains soft, institutional investors are still cautious, and selling pressure across altcoins has yet to meaningfully ease. For now, $64K, $68K, and $70K are the key levels to watch for Bitcoin. A decisive move above $70K could be the signal that the market is moving beyond a bear-market rebound and into a broader trend reversal. #Bitcoin #Crypto #Ethereum #Altcoins #CryptoMarket #OnChain #BTC #ETF

PANews Original | Prediction Markets Are Getting a New Wrapper: From Japan’s MIRAIMA to Meta’s Arena Prediction markets are evolving from trading products into content-driven engagement products. During the World Cup, real-money prediction markets such as @Polymarket and @Kalshi continued to gain momentum. But in Japan, where regulation is more cautious, a different model is taking off: points-based prediction markets. @miraima_app does not require users to deposit cash. Instead, users earn points by watching ads, playing games, or completing tasks, then use those points to predict future events across sports, politics, economics, entertainment, and more. Around seven months after launch, the app is approaching 1 million monthly active users. Japanese companies such as @poyp_app and @gumi_pr are also adopting similar models, combining prediction markets with ad incentives, market research, and gamified tasks. @Meta's internally developed Arena app is also reportedly using a points-based system to reduce early compliance pressure. Unlike real-money prediction markets, points-based products are easier to package for mainstream consumer use. The next wave of prediction market growth may not come only from trading activity, but also from lightweight entry points built around gaming, social interaction, advertising, and rewards. #PredictionMarkets #Polymarket #Kalshi #MIRAIMA #Meta #Arena

PANews Original | Solana Shows Signs of Recovery as Tokenized Stocks, Memecoins and Governance Heat Up As the broader crypto market turns risk-off, @solana has staged a relatively independent rally. Over the past week, solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 rose about 14.9%, driven mainly by two factors: renewed activity across key ecosystem sectors and an upgrade to on-chain governance. In RWA, Solana now ranks first among public chains by both the number of holding wallets and the number of assets. Over the past 30 days, RWA net inflows on Solana exceeded $1 billion. Tokenized stocks have been a major driver, with weekly trading volume surpassing $1.42 billion and accounting for roughly 96% of the overall tokenized stock market. Meanwhile, memecoin sentiment is also recovering. solana:F23GvgK5TvSA78FmibZot7gtU3yfAiPb4BkD4RrZc18B sparked renewed on-chain trading activity, boosting the number of graduated tokens on @Pumpfun, overall trading volume, and revenue across multiple Solana ecosystem trading platforms. On governance, Solana introduced the SGP on-chain governance mechanism, allowing validators to propose, support, and vote on core protocol decisions, further improving governance transparency. Still, Solana’s recovery remains concentrated in specific sectors such as RWA and meme coins. A full ecosystem-wide rebound has yet to arrive. #Solana #SOL #RWA #TokenizedStocks #MemeCoins #PumpFun
