Welcome to this week’s AVA and crypto market update! This update covers news from 25 July-31 July 2025.

Crypto Market Update

The top stories from the broader market:

🛒 PayPal Launches ‘Pay with Crypto’: PayPal’s new Pay with Crypto product will allow 30 million US merchants to accept 100+ cryptocurrencies and instantly receive USD. The introductory transaction rate of 0.99% reduces transaction costs by up to 90% in comparison to international fees, with the option to settle in PYUSD and grow funds by 4% annually when held in PayPal.

⚖️ SEC Permits New ETP Rules: The SEC announced the approval of in-kind creations and redemptions of crypto exchange-traded products (ETP) on Wednesday. This allows investors who invest in approved crypto ETFs to redeem their shares for the underlying asset (such as BTC or ETH) instead of cash, while the ETPs themselves can now also be created with crypto. This increases efficiency, reduces selling pressure on the market, and may help reduce transaction costs.

✍️ White House Releases Crypto Report: A 168-page report containing recommendations for establishing a regulatory framework for crypto was released by the White House this week. The report, part of President Trump’s Executive Order issued in January, made recommendations related to banking, payments, stablecoins, compliance, and taxes to encourage regulation that boosts confidence across the board and embraces innovation.

The AVA Foundation is delighted to announce that Chester Szeen has joined the Foundation as the Lead Growth Contributor. Chester is a Web3 advocate and FinTech entrepreneur, and was named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List in 2020.

As the Lead Growth Contributor, Chester will drive the strategic and tactical initiatives that will fuel user acquisition, engagement, and retention. His extensive background in data science, business development, and growth hacking will help shape the future of the Foundation’s key offerings: the AVA Smart Program, AVA token, and Travel Tiger NFTs.

Prior to the AVA Foundation, Chester co-founded Mellow—a neobank for building kids’ money habits—in 2019 and served as the CEO until 2021. The project received support from MetLife, Accenture, Mizuho Bank, New World Development, and Cyberport, Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and incubator.

In recent years, Chester harnessed his experience as a founder to help incubate Web3 projects, working as the Head of Growth Ops for Seedify and as a mentor at Outlier Ventures.

Chester also lends his expertise as an advisor and committee member for several organisations, including The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Trade and Industry Advisory Board of Hong Kong, and GLG.

Additionally, he sits on the Global Panel for the MIT Technology Review and Advisory Council of the Harvard Business Review, contributing his insights and opinions on the latest tech trends.

He also previously served as an Impact Officer for the Global Shapers Community’s Hong Kong Hub, an initiative under the World Economic Forum.

As Chester becomes a key figure within the Foundation, he will be increasingly involved in the strategic and decision-making processes alongside his contributions to the AVA community.

The AVA Foundation is excited to welcome Chester to the team and looks forward to achieving many significant milestones together.

Welcome to this week’s AVA and crypto market update! This update covers news from 11 July-17 July 2025.

Crypto Market Update

The top stories from the broader market:

⚖️ US Crypto Week Legislation: It was a landmark week for crypto legislation in the US, with ‘Crypto Week’ resulting in the House of Representatives passing two key bills: the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act. The GENIUS Act sets out stablecoin-related provisions, while the CLARITY Act functions as a broader cryptocurrency framework. A third bill, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, was also added and passed following a group of Republicans flipping sides over the lack of provisions banning CBDCs in the CLARITY Act, which the third bill now addresses separately. The three bills are expected to be signed into law by President Trump today.

📈 $4 Trillion Crypto Market Cap: The crypto market crossed the $4 trillion mark for the very first time on Thursday. The market first crossed $3 trillion in November 2021 amidst pandemic-fuelled interest and the peak of the NFT market. Bitcoin maintains about 60% dominance, with Ethereum at 11% at the time of writing. Bitcoin’s market cap also surpassed $2.4 trillion mid-week, pipping Amazon to make it the world’s fifth-largest asset.

💸 BTC ETF Inflows Surge: Over $2.7 billion in BTC ETF inflows were recorded last week (7-11 July), making it the third-largest week of inflows this year, despite the rising price of BTC. For the first time, over $1 billion in net inflows took place on back-to-back days: 10 and 11 July. It marks the fifth consecutive week of net positive inflows into BTC ETFs, with over $2 billion already recorded this week (14-17 July) and one day left.

Crypto Market Update

The top stories from the broader market:

💸 Bitcoin Hits New All-time High: Bitcoin has surged 6% in the last 24 hours to set a new all-time high of over US$118,000. This move more than doubles its value from this time last year, with a 40% increase in the last 90 days alone.

✍️ Emirates Signs MoU with Crypto.com: Emirates have signed a memorandum of understanding with Crypto.com to explore crypto payments for flights with Crypto.com Pay, with an integration expected next year. Additionally, the airline will explore promotional campaigns to create awareness and encourage adoption of the new feature.

💭 Proposed Ethereum Gas Cap: Vitalik Buterin co-authored the EIP-7983 proposal that aims to introduce a gas cap on transactions to “split large transactions into smaller chunks” and “reduce the risk of DoS attacks caused by excessively high-gas transactions”. Ethereum currently has a per-block gas limit of approximately 36 million, but no limit on individual transactions. The proposed gas limit per transaction is approximately 16.77 million.
