It’s a global headline – Julian Assange, former Wikileaks editor-in-chief, has secured a plea deal and his sentence has been commuted to time served. His next step is to travel to Saipan and then return to his native Australia. However, the financial burden on him is far from over, despite five years in prison and a plea deal that did not fully pardon him. His fiancée, Stella Assange, has revealed that this journey to freedom will personally cost Julian a staggering $520,000 USD. The family is urgently appealing for funds to cover travel expenses and support his recovery after the grueling ordeal.
While every contribution counts and anyone looking to donate should look at the link above as an option, some noted that the donation platform only accepted credit/debit cards and bank payments and asked if Bitcoin was available.

address where they could donate. Now, a BTCPay POS Configuration allows you to generate on-chain and Lightning Network invoices for Assange’s campaign. His brother, Gabriel, who I had previously interviewed, configure this. I confirmed the address with the same account I conducted multiple interviews with, including phone calls. I confirmed that they received a small trial donation by generating an invoice on BTCPay Instance they sent me. When generating an invoice, you can pay by copying the generated LNUrl or scanning the QR code from a Bitcoin/Lightning wallet. Gabriel Shipton, brother of Julian Assange, posted about this BTCPay server instance here.

BTCPay has become a preferred way to process payments when people want to fully benefit from Bitcoin’s resilient decentralization and censorship-proof properties. It shows the power of Bitcoin outside the custody of big banks and ETFs. When HSBC froze protesters’ bank accounts, the media outlet that broke the news, the Hong Kong Free Press, used BTCPay before accepting Bitcoin donations. O Human Rights Foundation also uses BTCPay to raise funds.
Unsurprisingly, there is a new option to donate funds in Bitcoin, as Julian Assange and his family have been part of the Bitcoin tapestry for a long time. Julian talked to Satoshi about accepting donations in Bitcoin for Wikileaks. It was timely as PayPal froze funds intended for Wikileaks. Julian has also spoken about his deep fascination with and written about Bitcoin, for example in a Reddit AMA, where he wrote: “There’s a lot about Bitcoin in my book – about my thoughts on it and WikiLeaks’ history with it. Eric Schmidt and I talked a little about it, and I’ve also included lots of notes to expand on my views. It’s a fascinating and complex subject, so I can’t cover everything.” Julian also claimed to have gained 50,000% return on Bitcoin in 2017. Since then, the price of Bitcoin has increased from the beginning of 2017 (about $1,000) to now about 60x (about $60,000).
His family also used smart techniques how to inscribe Wikileaks war logs on the Bitcoin blockchain to continue its legacy. Now that Julian is out of prison, this legacy of involvement in Bitcoin can continue. Bitcoiners can now support Julian and his family by donating to a BTCPay Instance in Bitcoin on-chain or Lightning Network. With a donation of 8 Bitcoin (worth around US$500,000) registered to an address on the network Posted by Stella AssangeJulian’s fiancée, it appears that the Bitcoin community is determined to support Julian and his family.

According to Burniske, a partner at venture capital firm Placeholder, the highly anticipated launch of Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaking at an upcoming Bitcoin event, and the current state of the BTC, ETH, and SOL charts all suggest significant optimism for the cryptocurrency markets.
“With ETH ETFs set to go live, Trump speaking at The Bitcoin Conference, and BTC, ETH, and SOL charts looking [they do] (while stocks are weak), it’s hard to imagine a world where we don’t ship next week.”
Reuters recently reported that preliminary approval for ETH ETFs has been granted as the Bitcoin Conference is scheduled to take place from July 25-27.
BTC, ETH, and SOL are trading at $67,333, $3,528, and $174 at the time of writing, respectively.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K

Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.
Technical analysis
Per NegotiationRage
The daily chart
As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.
The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.
The 4-hour chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.
While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
