In July 2025, the cryptocurrency market exhibited significant growth with a focus on Ethereum and increasing interest in altcoins. Meanwhile, stablecoins faced new regulatory scrutiny.
Bitcoin Loses Share, Ethereum Surges Ahead
In July, Bitcoin's market share fell by 5.2% to 60.6% amid a general movement of funds towards altcoins. Ethereum saw a price growth of 51% due to increased corporate and institutional ownership. The ETH/BTC pair peaked at 0.032 over the past six months, further solidifying investor interest in Ethereum.
Corporate Ethereum Holdings Surge
Corporate treasuries in July took in 127.7% more ETH, totaling over 2.7 million ETH. This accounts for almost 50% of all Ethereum held by ETFs. 24 new firms, including Bitmine and Sharplink, added ETH to their balance sheets, indicating growing popularity for direct ETH exposure.
Stablecoins and Tokenization: New Horizons and Challenges
July saw the U.S. pass the GENIUS Act, implementing stricter rules for stablecoin issuers who now must be fully collateralized by cash or short-term Treasuries. The tokenization of real assets is also progressing, with the total value of tokenized equities rising to $370 million.
With rising interest in Ethereum and new regulations for stablecoins, the cryptocurrency market is showing promising trends. Analysts anticipate further developments in institutional investment and new infrastructure within the digital asset ecosystem.
