Institutional ETF Inflows Push Bitcoin Past $66K as LiquidChain Presale Nears $1M

On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, institutional capital showed sustained momentum as Bitcoin (BTC) climbed back above $66,000. This recovery, fueled by five consecutive days of net inflows into US spot ETFs, has stabilized the market after a period of volatility near the $60,000 support level. As capital flows back into the primary digital asset, market attention is shifting toward infrastructure projects capable of bridging Bitcoin’s liquidity with other major ecosystems. Among these, the LiquidChain (LIQUID) presale has secured over $914,000, approaching its $1 million target ahead of the month’s end.

On Monday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a net inflow of approximately $227 million, reversing the net outflows recorded during May and June. BlackRock’s IBIT led the session with $116 million in net inflows, bringing total net assets across all US spot Bitcoin products to nearly $79 billion. This sustained buying pressure pushed Bitcoin past $66,000, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $31 billion.

According to analyst Ted Pillows, clearing the $65,000 resistance opens the door for a near-term target of $68,000, with potential for further upward momentum.

While spot exposure remains the primary vehicle for institutional entry, Bitcoin’s price stabilization is driving interest in decentralized applications and infrastructure that expand the utility of idle BTC.

LiquidChain Targets Cross-Chain Fragmentation with Layer 3 Network

To address capital fragmentation across major networks, LiquidChain (LIQUID) is building a Layer 3 execution environment. The network aims to connect Bitcoin’s liquidity with Ethereum’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and Solana’s execution speed. By leveraging a Solana-class virtual machine, trust-minimized state verification, and cross-chain proofs, the protocol enables atomic settlements without relying on traditional wrapped assets.

The native LIQUID token serves as the network’s utility asset, powering transaction fees, staking, and governance. The total supply of LIQUID is capped at 11.8 billion tokens, structured as follows:

• Development: 35%
• Marketing and Growth: 32.5%
• Business Partnerships: 15%
• Staking and Rewards: 10%
• Exchange Listings: 7.5%

The ongoing presale has raised more than $914,000, with the current token price set at $0.01482. The next incremental price increase is scheduled to take effect in two days.

Presale Access and Staking Integration

Participants can access the presale via the official LiquidChain website by connecting a compatible Web3 wallet. Alternatively, the presale is integrated into the Best Wallet mobile application under its “Upcoming Tokens” section, available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The presale supports multiple payment methods, including BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, USDT, USDC, and direct credit/debit card purchases. Upon acquiring LIQUID, participants can opt to stake their tokens immediately to access a dynamic staking yield of 1,231% APY, which will adjust as the staking pool grows.

For real-time development updates and presale milestones, interested parties can follow LiquidChain on X and join the Telegram community.
