A dense stretch of crypto and market news from July 15 to July 16 was led by BNB Chain’s 36th quarterly BNB burn, a wave of large ETH wallet movements, fresh disclosures from BlackRock on its digital-asset business, and a tokenization push involving DTCC and nearly 40 Wall Street firms. BNB Foundation said it burned 1,615,827.795 BNB, worth about $932 million at the time, as part of its ongoing supply-reduction plan. On-chain activity also drew attention, with several whale addresses buying, withdrawing, unstaking, or moving sizable ETH and WBTC positions, while PeckShield reported that Ostium’s public OLP vault was exploited for roughly 24 million USDC. BlackRock, for its part, said digital-asset AUM fell from $79.6 billion a year ago to $48.8 billion despite net inflows of about $15.1 billion, and reiterated a 2030 crypto-revenue target of around $500 million. Elsewhere, Revolut received in-principle approval from Dubai’s VARA, Aave V4 expanded to Avalanche, Coinbase set a deadline to end support for USDC on Noble, and Summer.fi said it will wind down after an exploit tied to Lazy Summer Protocol. The period also included updates on US regulation, stablecoin payments, AI funding, prediction-market research, and Fed commentary on inflation, labor, and AI-driven price pressure.

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas has voiced support for Lyn Alden’s new Bitcoin treasury company, according to a post on X from BitcoinTreasuries.NET. The post said Salinas had come to two conclusions: cash flow is king, and investors cannot rely on governments to protect the value of their money. On that basis, he said he supports the team behind the project. The development follows an earlier announcement that ORANGE JUICE, founded by Lyn Alden, had raised $40 million. The company said it plans to launch a permanent capital holding company backed by Bitcoin reserves. The update ties Salinas’ public endorsement to a venture that is positioning BTC as the reserve asset at the center of its corporate structure.

ORANGE JUICE said it has raised $40 million, with Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas participating as an anchor investor. The venture was founded by Ego Death Capital partners Jeff Booth, Lyn Alden, and others. Its stated business focuses on acquiring profitable U.S. companies generating $1 million to $10 million in annual cash flow, holding them for the long term, and improving operations. The company also plans to build Bitcoin reserves at the businesses it acquires and set up an internal AI operations team aimed at lifting productivity across its portfolio. The announcement outlines a strategy that combines traditional business acquisitions with Bitcoin treasury building and operational changes inside acquired firms.

Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said a recent reading of Lyn Alden’s book Broken Money strengthened his view that Bitcoin and other internet-native forms of “hard money” are most likely to reward patient participants over time. In a post on X, Burniske also argued that ZEC stands out as Bitcoin’s most credible complement. He said the market saw a wave of impatience between 2016 and 2025, with many people treating Bitcoin as just another technology platform rather than understanding it more deeply. In his view, Bitcoin is closer to a social reset than a simple technical upgrade, and that kind of transition takes decades to play out. Burniske added that impatience is now shifting toward other areas that appear faster, pushing the market back toward an atmosphere closer to 2015 and earlier. He said that setup is likely to reward those who have consistently understood Bitcoin from the start.

Macro economist Lyn Alden says Bitcoin could test $150,000 amid a $39 trillion sovereign debt crisis, though she warns that excessive leverage could still trigger sharp short-term market shocks.

Macro analyst Lyn Alden forecasts Bitcoin's market cap will exceed gold's $25 trillion by 2025. She cites Bitcoin's hybrid nature as a macro-hedge, post-halving supply scarcity, and growing institutional interest from MicroStrategy and HashKey Fund as key drivers.
