[Original Link]BlockBeats News, July 15th, according to TheBlock, Wintermute released a new report stating that during the first half of 2025's bull market, there was a significant divergence in investment strategies between retail investors and institutional investors, leading to a notable differentiation in trading interests, whereas the two had largely moved in sync for many years. The report indicates that institutional investors continued to double down on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while retail investors tended to favor Meme coins and other altcoins. Institutions sought a stable investment exposure, while retail investors pursued more novel, higher-risk opportunities.
The disparity between institutions and retail investors in mainstream cryptocurrency investment allocation hit a record high, reaching 30 percentage points. Institutional allocation to mainstream cryptocurrencies remained at 67%, mainly achieved through ETF inflows and other new accumulation tools, while retail allocation to mainstream cryptocurrencies dropped by 9% to 37%. Wintermute's CEO and founder, Evgeny Gaevoy, stated in the report: "This differentiation is not temporary; it indicates that we are in the midst of a more mature, complex, and professionalized crypto market. Investors are no longer chasing the same trends. Institutions view cryptocurrency as a macro asset, while retail traders continue to be attracted to innovation."

BlockBeats News, July 15th: According to a report by Cointelegraph, Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Japanese Bitcoin reserve company Metaplanet, plans to acquire a controlling stake in the South Korean publicly listed software service company SGA. If the transaction is finalized, SGA will implement a more extensive digital asset strategy through the acquisition of Bitcoin. Although Simon Gerovich is participating as an independent investor and not on behalf of Metaplanet, this move is in line with Metaplanet's growing Bitcoin reserve strategy. This acquisition is part of accelerating Asian companies' adoption of a Bitcoin strategy, transforming traditional companies into entities linked to Bitcoin through transactions, making companies like SGA a tool for Bitcoin investment in the regional capital market.
Yesterday, Metaplanet announced the purchase of 797 BTC at a price of approximately $117,451 per Bitcoin, with a total transaction amount of about $93.6 million, achieving a 435.9% Bitcoin return on investment as of 2025.

[Original Link]BlockBeats News, July 15th, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal posted a statement denying the intention to smear Binance and WLFI. Paul Grewal said, "This is purely a rumor, we absolutely did not participate in this matter. We will not attack competitors and welcome any enterprise with a common goal, dedicated to expanding the cryptocurrency market."
On July 13th, CZ retweeted a tweet by Matt Wallace, the content of which is as follows: "There is evidence to show that Coinbase may be the 'anonymous' whistleblower, intending to smear World Liberty Financial and Binance associated with President Trump. It is alleged that Coinbase learned that Binance's former CEO CZ may receive a pardon, and due to Coinbase's own high transaction fees and poor customer service, the company's senior management is concerned that once Binance re-enters the U.S. market in a legitimate capacity, it will rapidly gain market share, severely impacting Coinbase's revenue. Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange platform, and if it re-enters the U.S. market, it will immediately impact Coinbase's market share. What is even more shocking is that Coinbase has attempted to attack a competitor like Binance by targeting President Trump. This behavior has been accused of being 'anti-American'! Will Coinbase come clean and take responsibility for this misguided decision? The truth is about to be revealed!"
