📉 Market Dynamics
• Bitcoin soared to around $111 155 on Friday amid optimism over a possible meeting between the USA and China. 
• Despite this, the crypto market experienced a weekly loss: cryptocurrency markets have been falling for the seventh consecutive day, particularly due to macroeconomic uncertainty. 
• At the same time, inflows into bitcoin and ether ETFs have increased — investors are still showing interest in assets despite the pressure.

🏛 Regulation and policy
• Amid discussions in Washington regarding the passage of a bill on the 'structure of the cryptocurrency market', top industry figures are trying to speed up the process, but progress is currently minimal. 
• In the United Kingdom, there has been a significant spike in cryptocurrency fraud: in the first half of 2025, consumer losses amounted to £97.7 million — a 55% increase compared to the previous year.

✨ Altcoins and exchanges
• Coinbase has added two new altcoins for trading — aPriori (APR) and Meteora (MET).

🔍 Conclusions and what to keep in mind
• The market remains volatile: on one hand, there is positivity (inflows, political expectations), and on the other hand — pressure from macroeconomics and indecision in regulation.
• For producers/investors (like you, who work with alternative energy sources and financing) it is important:
• keep an eye on regulatory news in the crypto sphere (they can impact the entire funding ecosystem);
• consider that even large assets (BTC, ETH) are not insured against significant drawdowns;
• view crypto assets as part of a broader financial landscape, rather than as an isolated tool.
