Bitcoin price pressured by ETF inflows, tech‑stock sell‑off and market volatility

Advanced Blockchain AG announced a strategic overhaul, shifting focus to consulting, treasury, analytics, artificial intelligence and robotics, and narrowing its product portfolio to core assets such as Panoptic and PEAQ. The German firm projects 2025 revenue of €0.31 million while its annual loss widened to €3.48 million, with its subsidiary Incredulous Labs reporting a $17 million loss. Financing will rely on a shareholder loan pending further monetisation.

Swift is testing a permissioned blockchain ledger on the Linea network together with 17 global banks, including UBS, to enable tokenised, cross‑border payments that integrate digital deposits, KYC and deposit protection. Robinhood aims to onboard millions of users to its Ethereum‑layer‑2 blockchain for on‑chain finance.

In parallel, Bitcoin’s price remained volatile in mid‑July 2026. Spot‑Bitcoin ETFs attracted $197 million of inflows, yet the broader market saw net outflows of $4.73 billion over the past month. The cryptocurrency slid from around $65,560 to $62,500, pressured by weak technology stocks, a shock in AI‑related equities and low U.S. inflation expectations. Analysts note that a breakout above $76,000 would signal a bullish shift, while 2030 price scenarios range from $120,000 in a deflationary setting to over $500,000 under persistent high‑inflation conditions.
