🔒 Now it's time to lock in.

For the first time in a while, both crypto and stocks are showing some strength.

The next months could be life-changing if this uptrend continues.

📊 Crypto Venture Weekly: July 7–11, 2025

Messari’s latest breakdown highlights $109M raised across 15 projects last week — with a sharp focus on real products in AI, stablecoins, and DeFi infra.

Here’s what the top 6 are building👇

⚪️Agora ($50M, led by Paradigm)
Full-stack platform for launching white-labeled stablecoins (like AUSD) across 13 chains. Shared liquidity, instant compliance, and stablecoin infra-as-a-service.

⚪️DigitalX ($13.5M, Animoca, ParaFi)
Australia-based digital asset manager offering tokenized funds and crypto treasury strategies. Publicly traded on the ASX.

⚪️Kuru ($11.6M, Paradigm, Electric)
On-chain CLOB built natively on Monad. Targets ultra-low latency and full decentralization for pro-level DeFi trading.

⚪️Remix ($6.75M, Archetype, Coinbase, Variant)
TikTok-style mobile platform for creating and playing short-form games. 800+ games live, 600K users, Telegram and wallet integrations.

⚪️Velvet Capital ($3.7M, DWF, YZi)
DeFAI OS for portfolio management across chains. Used by 25K+ users, managing $100M+ with non-custodial, AI-driven flows.

⚪️BridgePort ($3.2M, Further Ventures)
Institutional middleware for off-exchange settlement. Connects custodians and exchanges to automate collateral and clearing.

💡Capital is flowing toward core infrastructure for crypto-native UX and regulated, composable finance.

💼 Institutions only hold 0.01% of their portfolio in bitcoin today.

To match Bitcoin’s current share of global wealth (~0.2%), they’d need to invest $249 billion more.

That rebalancing has barely started⏫

📄 Crypto Watchlist for the week ahead:

❕ $W has been added to Grayscale’s watchlist of tokens under consideration for future investment products.

This marks another major milestone for Wormhole, highlighting its growing institutional adoption and recognition by one of the world’s leading digital asset management firms.

Some other bullish factors for Wormhole:

🟡Fee switches live, generating revenue for $W token holders
🟡Used by Securitize, Uniswap infra, Google Cloud, etc.
🟡$60B+ cross-chain volume
🟡Rumors of an additional airdrop
🟡Backed by Jump, Multicoin, Brevan Howard, Coinbase Ventures, and ParaFi (raised $225M at $2.5B FDV)

The incentive to run this back is definitely there.
