Increasing network activity is often said to support valuations for the networks native coin, bitcoin . So far, the token has neither rallied nor dropped significantly and remains boxed in the recent range of $62,000–$65,000.　　Analysts continue to point to the fate of the Clarity Act as the immediate catalyst while citing longer-duration government bond yields as a more macro and longer-lasting one.　　“CLARITY is still the immediate policy binary. The Senate has a three-day window before its August 10 recess, while the implied probability of passage by year end has fallen to 23% from around 75% in mid-May. A push to attach prediction-market restrictions adds another process risk,” analysts at Marex said.　　Meanwhile, Bitfinex said the bullish macro case for bitcoin could collapse if the real or inflation-adjusted yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note tops 2.5%.　　“The 10-year real yield has not stayed above 2.5% since before Bitcoin existed, so there is no price history above that line. It is now at 2.41%, nine basis points below,” the exchange said.　　Stay alert!

Bitcoin onchain activity surges to yearly high as Coldcard attack unfolds

Bitcoin onchain activity has reached its highest level of 2026 as researchers have linked the surge to the ongoing Coldcard wallet exploit, warning that similar spikes have historically coincided with local market turning points.　　K33 Research said nearly 890,000 BTC has moved onchain over the past seven days, the highest seven-day active supply recorded this year, even as Bitcoin has continued trading within one of its tightest price ranges in recent years.　　The research note arrives as investigators continue expanding the scope of the Coldcard hardware wallet breach. Galaxy Research said on Tuesday that at least 15 different attackers have now exploited the vulnerability, while its latest confirmed estimate stands at 1,596 BTC stolen from roughly 7,300 addresses across three verified attack waves.

The research team also said about 90% of the stolen Bitcoin has not moved since the attacks, giving investigators additional time to monitor the funds while coordinating with cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain security firms
