Bitcoin On The Cusp
Bitcoin is on the brink of breaking towards new highs, but has one final mighty obstacle to overcome beforehand.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin remains green on the daily time frame on Stonksy. While the price has largely chopped around, this is a high time frame indication and can take a prolonged period to play out, as with the weekly, which remains green from $20,000.
However, the $110,000 region is the obstacle bitcoin must break for the price to rally towards new highs.

BONK
BONK is the meme with the most momentum currently after surging over the past week. The price has seen a huge upside move occur following some favourable developments with the project.
As always, Stonksy captured all of this move on its background indication and remains in the green at the time of writing.

COIN
Coinbase stock (COIN) has also witnessed a large gain recently, with Stonksy yet again catching all the volatile moves.
In particular to COIN, there have been upside moves. The 5-minute chart has caught three sizable moves, all demonstrating the double confirmation of background change plus the arrow confirmation.

HOOD
Robinhood is another crypto-related stock that has done extremely well, not only recently, but over the past year.
It is currently at record highs, and continues to show strength, with Stonksy retaining the green background on the weekly chart for now. If you’re keen to see how Stonksy manages high time frame trend shifts, look at bitcoin on the weekly chart as see how well it changed between colours as bitcoin’s momentum changed.

LetsBONK Knocks Pump.fun Off the Throne as Solana’s Top Memecoin Launchpad
LetsBONK.fun has officially overtaken Pump.fun as Solana’s top memecoin launchpad, logging nearly double the token launches and flipping market share, but will it stay in the lead?
TL;DR
💥 LetsBONK.fun overtakes Pump.fun in daily token launches and trading volume.
📉 Pump.fun’s market share dips below 60% for the first time.
💸 LetsBONK logs 18k token launches vs Pump.fun’s 9.5k in 24 hours.
🔥 50% of LetsBONK’s fees burn BONK tokens, boosting long-term value.
🚀 LetsBONK token is up 300%, BONK community loving it.
⚔️ Solana’s memecoin launchpad war is just getting started.
The Memecoin Wars Just Got Real 🔥
Move over Pump.fun — there's a new king of the Solana memecoin jungle. LetsBONK.fun has surged ahead to become the #1 launchpad on Solana, dominating the last 24 hours in both token launches and trading volume.
According to fresh stats from Dune Analytics, LetsBONK clocked over 18,000 new tokens launched, outpacing Pump.fun’s 9,535. In terms of market share, the shift is just as stark: LetsBONK now commands nearly 50% of the Solana token launch market, while Pump.fun has dropped below 60% for the first time ever.
This isn’t just a leaderboard shuffle — it's a sign of a major shakeup in the Solana memecoin ecosystem.
The Solana Degens Are Multiplying 📈
The rise of LetsBONK has coincided with a surge in activity across Solana. As new launchpads multiply — including Jup Studio, Moonshot, Auto.fun, and Believe — competition is heating up, and Solana’s daily wallet transactions are ballooning.
It’s clear that memecoins are not just a fad on Solana — they’re a full-blown movement, and the launchpad wars are only getting started.
Why Is LetsBONK Beating Pump.fun?
Launched in April 2025, LetsBONK didn’t waste time playing nice. It went straight for Pump.fun’s throat by embedding community-first mechanics into its core structure.
Here’s why it’s winning:
🔥50% of platform fees go toward buying and burning BONK, Solana’s OG memecoin, creating deflationary value for holders.
💧Supports BONKsol, a liquid staking token, enhancing DeFi utility across the Solana ecosystem.
💰Ecosystem reinvestment: letsBONK routes revenue back into community and infrastructure development — giving creators more reasons to launch there.
The result? BONK is booming, and LetsBONK has become the degen platform of choice.
BONK Goes Berserk 🚀
The native token of LetsBONK.fun, LetsBONK, has been riding the wave — up 300% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing:
💸Price: $0.1729
🧢Market Cap: ~$11m
📊24h Trading Volume: Exploding across Solana DEXs
It’s not just a win for LetsBONK — it’s a huge moment for BONK and memecoins on Solana in general.
Can Pump.fun Fight Back?
Pump.fun isn’t going down without a fight. While its dominance is clearly fading, it still controls a major chunk of the market, and it has name recognition and early-mover advantage.
But with rising competition from five other launchpads, and LetsBONK making BONK holders richer by the day, Pump.fun might need to evolve — or get left behind.
Elon Musk’s America Party Will Accept Bitcoin: “Fiat Is Hopeless”
Elon Musk has launched the America Party — and confirmed it will accept Bitcoin. Here's how his political play intertwines with crypto, Tesla’s BTC reserves, and his feud with Donald Trump.
TL;DR
🇺🇸 Elon Musk has launched a new political party,The America Party, and confirmed it will accept Bitcoin.
💬 Musk declared, “Fiat is hopeless,” in response to whether BTC would be embraced.
🚗Tesla holds 11,509 BTC, worth $1.26bn, making it a top 10 corporate holder.
⚔️ Musk’s feud with Trump over national debt and economic policy drove the split.
🗳️ Trump fears Musk’s party could fracture the Republican vote in 2026.
📈 Musk’s crypto-friendly stance could shift US political attitudes on Bitcoin.
🚀 Elon Musk's Political Debut Just Got a Bitcoin Twist
In a move shaking both political and crypto spheres, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that his newly proposed political party, The America Party, will embrace Bitcoin as part of its financial ideology.
Replying to an X user asking whether the party would accept BTC, Musk responded bluntly:
“Fiat is hopeless, so yes.”
With that, one of the world’s most influential tech moguls has tied the fate of his political ambitions to Bitcoin, again putting crypto at the centre of public discourse.
💰 Musk and Bitcoin: A Complicated History
This isn’t Musk’s first Bitcoin headline. In 2021,Tesla became one of the first S&P 500 companies to add Bitcoin to its treasury, snapping up $1.5bn in BTC under Musk’s directive. The electric vehicle giant still holds 11,509 BTC, currently worth over $1.26bn, making Tesla the 9th-largest public company by BTC reserves.
Beyond Tesla, Musk’s crypto involvement spans:
🔄Toggling Tesla's BTC payment option, citing energy concerns.
🐶Memecoin mayhem, where his tweets repeatedly spiked Dogecoin (DOGE).
🪐A debate on Bitcoin for Mars, where Musk proposed the Lightning Network as a fix for interplanetary payments.
While Musk hasn’t always been bullish — in 2021, he famously tweeted that Bitcoin’s price was “too high”, causing a market-wide dip — his recent moves suggest a renewed long-term commitment to decentralised assets.
⚔️ Musk vs Trump: The Feud Fuels a Third Party
Musk’s Bitcoin announcement comes amid rising tensions with Donald Trump over economic policy and political direction.
The flashpoint? Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping policy package Musk has slammed as “utterly insane,” claiming it will add $3.3tn to the national debt and destroy millions of American jobs.
Musk further criticised the hypocrisy of the DOGE (Debt Optimisation for Government Efficiency) initiative, questioning why it exists if Trump’s policies increase the very debt it's meant to fix.
All of this culminated in Musk launching the America Party, following a Twitter/X poll with over 1.24 million voters, of which nearly 66% supported the idea.
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk wrote.
📉 Trump’s Backlash and Electoral Implications
Trump hasn’t taken the news lightly. He lashed out at Musk, accusing him of splitting the Republican vote and potentially handing key seats to Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.
While the America Party remains in its infancy, Musk’s celebrity status, deep war chest, and now pro-Bitcoin policy stance could reshape the political map, especially among younger, crypto-savvy voters.
🔍 Will Bitcoin Go Mainstream in Politics?
Musk’s move comes at a time when crypto is becoming increasingly politicised:
📊 Presidential candidates are now outlining digital asset policies.
💼 Corporations like Figma, MicroStrategy, and Tesla are holding BTC as part of their treasuries.
⚖️ Regulators continue to clash with the industry, especially over stablecoins and staking products.
With Musk entering the political arena and backing Bitcoin, he may catalyse wider adoption of crypto in campaign financing, public policy, and even federal treasury strategy, especially if his America Party gains traction.
Solo Bitcoin Miner Hits $350k Jackpot — But Just How Rare Is That?
A solo Bitcoin miner just struck digital gold with a full block reward worth nearly $350,000. We break down the odds, the gear, and why this is one of crypto’s rarest events.
TL;DR:
💰 A solo Bitcoin miner just earned $349,000 by mining an entire block alone.
🎲 They used just 2.3 PH/s, giving them a 1 in 375,000 chance of winning.
⚒️ Similar solo wins have occurred in Feb and June 2025, but they’re extremely rare.
🏭 Big miners are slowing production due to Texas power costs, giving small miners a brief spotlight.
🧵 Solo mining is pure luck, but can win big if the miner finds a golden ticket.
In one of the rarest occurrences in crypto, a solo Bitcoin miner has successfully mined an entire block, pocketing 3.173 BTC— roughly $349,000 — with a modest 2.3 petahash setup.
The miner, operating through CKpool, beat odds of approximately 1 in 375,000to solve block #903883, a feat that usually requires industrial-scale equipment. Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo called it an “incredible long shot,” while CKpool’s admin noted that miners at this scale can typically expect a win like this once every eight years.
🧠 What Makes This So Rare?
The Bitcoin network is designed to reward miners proportionally to their hashrate — the amount of computing power they contribute. In large mining pools, thousands of machines combine forces, meaning block rewards are split based on contribution.
But solo mining is a different beast. You compete alone against the entire global network. When a solo minerdoessolve a block, they keep the full reward, but with odds stacked sky-high against them.
At current difficulty levels, a 2.3 PH/s miner has roughly a 0.00027% chance of solving any given block. That’s about one shot in 375,000 per block, or a shot every 8 years, assuming nonstop operation.
By contrast, industrial operations with 166,000 TH/s (or 166 PH/s) — roughly 500 Antminer S21 Hydro units — would be expected to hit a block once a month, but at a far higher upfront cost.
🛠️ What Kind of Rig Can Pull This Off?
While the exact gear used remains unknown, estimates suggest the miner may have employed older-generation ASIC miners capable of generating 2.3 PH/s collectively. This isfar below the standard for most large-scale operations but still within reach for serious hobbyists.
Smaller home-use devices, such as the Bitaxe Gamma or FutureBit Apollo, only deliver a few terahashes per second, several orders of magnitude weaker. At the bottom of the spectrum are USB stick miners like the NerdMiner Pro, which produce kilohashes, essentially making a solo block win mathematically impossible under current network conditions.
💥 Not the First Time It’s Happened
Despite the improbable odds, 2025 has already seen multiple solo mining jackpots: 💰 In February, a solo miner struck block #883,181, netting 3.125 BTC (around $300K). 💰 In early June, another solo win was recorded on block #899,826, worth $330K. 💰 This latest win is one of the highest ever earned with such modest hashrate in the current era of record-high network difficulty. It’s a stark reminder that hashrate doesn’t guarantee success, because mining is, at its core, a game of probability.
📉 Meanwhile, Industrial Mining Output Declines
Ironically, while a hobbyist scooped up nearly $350k solo, major mining firms like Riot Platforms, Cipher Mining, and MARA Holdings reported reduced output in June. The reason? To dodge peak electricity tariffs in Texas, which spike during summer months.
It underscores an unexpected twist in the mining industry: sometimes, the little guy wins big, even as the giants slow down.
