Bitcoin News Today: Traders Shift to Low-Cap Crypto Projects as July Investments Surge 42% Amid Bitcoin's $123K High

Traders are increasingly shifting focus from Bitcoin and Ethereum to low-cap crypto presale projects, driven by the search for higher returns amid a broader crypto market upswing. This trend has been underscored by Bitcoin’s recent surge to a record high above $123,000 and Ethereum’s ETF inflows, which highlight growing institutional confidence in the sector. Investors are allocating capital to utility-driven platforms like Remittix, a cross-border payment solution leveraging blockchain technology to bridge crypto and fiat ecosystems.

The crypto venture capital landscape reflects this shift, with July 2025 alone witnessing a 42% increase in investments to $5.14 billion. Over $16.5 billion has flowed into crypto startups this year, signaling a preference for projects with tangible use cases over speculative assets. This momentum aligns with historical patterns where major wealth creation in crypto has often stemmed from undervalued tokens before their listing on major exchanges.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization, now exceeding $2.34 trillion, has surpassed that of silver ($2.155 trillion), a milestone achieved within two decades of its 2009 launch. Institutional adoption remains a key driver, as evidenced by Metaplanet’s recent 780 BTC purchase, raising its holdings to 17,132 BTC valued at over $2 billion. Technical indicators also remain bullish, with Bitcoin above critical moving averages. Changelly forecasts a short-term target of $130,030, with potential for a push to $141,645 in August [1].

Ethereum’s breakout above $3,900 has triggered $440 million in ETF inflows this July, with analysts anticipating further growth. Bitwise projects up to $10 billion in Ethereum ETF inflows for the second half of 2025. The network’s advancements in Layer 2 solutions, upgrades, and institutional exposure are supporting its rally, with some analysts forecasting a $6,000 target by year-end [2].

Remittix has emerged as a standout project in this environment, offering a mobile wallet beta scheduled for September 15 that enables users to convert over 40 cryptocurrencies into 30 fiat currencies. Its business API allows merchants to accept crypto and settle in fiat, creating new revenue streams. Key features include multi-chain support (Ethereum and Solana), real-time foreign exchange conversion, and compliance with MiCA and global regulatory standards. The project’s deflationary tokenomics, tied to transaction volume, further differentiate it in the crowded DeFi space.

The focus on low-cap projects like Remittix underscores a maturing market where investors prioritize real-world utility over pure speculation. As Bitcoin and Ethereum solidify their dominance, the next wave of growth is expected to come from platforms that address tangible use cases, such as cross-border payments, which remain a $700 billion industry.
