Bitcoin recovery fizzles, but SOL, DOT, NEAR and KAS could rally

Buyers will need to keep Bitcoin above $53,500 to start a recovery in SOL, DOT, NEAR and KAS.

Bitcoin (BTC) is witnessing a tough battle between the bulls and the bears. The buyers are trying to keep the price inside the $56,552 to $73,777 range, while the bears are attempting to yank the price lower. Sellers pulled the price near $53,500 on July 5, but lower levels attracted buying by the bulls.

According to Farside Investors, United States-based Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds witnessed net inflows of $143.1 million on July 5, the largest in one month. Bitwise Asset Management CEO Hunter Horsley said in a post on X that investors who do not have exposure to Bitcoin have a “chance to buy the dip” as its outlook “has never been stronger.”

Bitcoin’s recent fall has intensified selling in several altcoins, but a few have managed to hold on to their strong support levels. These altcoins could lead the recovery if Bitcoin starts a move toward $60,000.

Polkadot’s treasury has $245M with 2 years of runway

The blockchain’s revenue declined over the first half of 2024, and its head ambassador has called for its token’s inflation rate to be lowered.

Polkadot’s treasury holds just under $245 million worth of assets, giving it around two years of spending left at its current rate, according to a Friday report from the blockchain.

“Polkadot’s Treasury is becoming more complex and harder to grasp,” its head ambassador Tommi Enenkel wrote in a June 28 treasury report for 2024’s first half. “Polkadot is spending directly as well as allocating value in bounties and collectives to be spent in the future.”

“At the current rate of spending, the Treasury has about 2 years of runway left, although the volatile nature of crypto-denominated treasuries makes it hard to predict with confidence,” Enenkel added. “This has sparked discussions ranging from a stricter budgeting approach to a change in the inflation parameters of the system.”
