US "Clarity Act" Two-Week Countdown, Banking Industry Gets Nervous
The next two weeks are a critical window for congressional voting on the US "Clarity Act."
This bill aims to clarify "who regulates crypto" — the SEC or the CFTC.
But the banking industry has come out against it, saying the current version has a regulatory loophole: it allows crypto companies to offer economic incentives without anti-money laundering safeguards.
Bipartisan lawmakers can't agree, and the time window is narrowing.
If it doesn't pass in these two weeks, the probability of passing later will drop signific

Korean stock market circuit breaker, crypto follows suit
South Korea's KOSPI plunged 10% today, directly triggering a circuit breaker.
The cause was a "tax rumor" — saying that unrealized gains from stocks and real estate would be included in comprehensive taxation.
Samsung and SK Hynix led the decline. Semiconductor leveraged ETFs are heavily retail-invested, leading to stampede selling once they drop.
The key point is: South Korea is one of the most active crypto trading markets globally, with an extremely high retail investor ratio.
Korean stock circuit breaker → Korean won deprec

July 1 Countdown: 83% of European Crypto Firms Could Be Out
The EU MiCA transition period ends on July 1. By then, crypto firms without a CASP license will not be allowed to operate in the EU.
Currently, only 210 companies have obtained licenses, and 83% of related firms face elimination.
Even top players like Ripple are still applying for licenses.
What does this mean? The European crypto market will undergo a major "reshuffling." Small and medium platforms will be forced out, and compliance costs will become the true moat. Liquidity may concentrate among a few licensed large platform

BTC falls below 61k, global risk-off mode
Today BTC dipped below $60,909 during trading, dropping nearly 3% in 24 hours.
It's not crypto's own fault—the US stock chip sector collapsed (Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -7.9%), South Korea's KOSPI directly circuit-broke -10%, gold fell below $4,100, silver fell 6% in a day.
All risk assets and risk-free assets are falling together. This is called a liquidity panic.
Bank of America predicts the Fed will raise interest rates three times this year. The market is repricing "how expensive money is."
From the ATH of $126K to now $61K, it's m

Meta is about to take Polymarket's lunch
Meta is developing a prediction market app, directly competing with Polymarket and Kalshi.
The Web3 community spent years proving that the "prediction market" track is viable, but traditional internet giants just copy it the moment they see profits.
Polymarket was on fire during the U.S. election last year, and now Meta is coming with 1 billion users.
Is this "Web3 being recognized by the mainstream" or "another crushing blow from the giant"?
My take: The track is validated by Web3, but traffic harvesting is done by big tech.

Is someone buying $120,000 BTC call options expiring in December? Are they crazy?
With BTC trading around $64K, someone is massively buying December-expiry call options with a strike price of $120K—betting on doubling within half a year.
On the other side, a whale has just opened a $48 million BTC + SOL + ETH short position.
Half the market is betting on doubling, and the other half is betting on a collapse—volatility is definitely going to explode.
If you have spare money, is the expectation implied by these options worth following?
A: Buy the $120K strike price without thinking
B

BTC dropped from 126k to 64k, is the halving still not over?
Down 50% from all-time high, RSI at 43, 50-day moving average $71,880, 200-day moving average $76,630—BTC is still trading below all moving averages. In early June, ETF weekly outflows reached $3.4 billion, but in mid-month, net inflows resumed, though technicals remain weak.
The Federal Reserve may hike interest rates until the end of the year, increasing the opportunity cost of interest-free assets like BTC.
Glassnode says a bottom is forming, 21Shares predicts a $100k surge in Q3—who do you believe?

Why did the cryptocurrency industry invest $49 million into Black districts?
Fairshake spent $49 million in Maryland's Fifth District, but not a single word about cryptocurrency in their promotion—it's all about people's livelihoods and progressivism.
The money was spent, the people were mobilized, but they don't even dare to say who they are.
Is this smart or just guilty? Winning = more friendly regulation, losing = deeper public hostility towards crypto.
Buying regulatory friendliness with political dirty money, is it worth it?

Bank of England Opens Stablecoin Operations, Three Steps to Understand the Impact
The Bank of England has just released a regulatory framework for stablecoins: each stablecoin issuance cap is 40 billion GBP, and they can operate compliantly starting in 2027. Here's a three-step breakdown:
1️⃣ Reserve assets can allocate 70% to short-term government bonds (up from the previous cap of 60%), increasing interest income potential
2️⃣ The GENIUS Act and MiCA both prohibit stablecoins from paying interest — but if a jurisdiction relaxes these restrictions, capital will flood in instantly, similar to

SOL surges 15% in 24 hours, shorts are wiped out with $400 million
SOL jumps directly from $83 to $97, with over $400 million in short positions liquidated — a typical short squeeze, driven not by fundamentals but by too many shorts
Now $95 is a critical threshold: break above it to see $100→$120, fail to hold and it drops back to $83
ETF capital inflow is only $790k, and futures holdings are still decreasing, this wave is more about panic chasing the rally—are you chasing or waiting? #SOL #Solana

Whale shorts ETH 20x with $39.6 million, liquidation line stuck at $1,832
On-chain data reveals a massive short: a whale shorted 23,000 ETH with 20x leverage, position worth $39.6M, liquidation price at $1,832.
This whale has only traded ETH since June 10 and has already earned $3.15 million, with a win rate of 90%. But this time is different—ETH is currently around $1,730, only 5.9% above the liquidation line. If ETH breaks above $1,810 with increased volume, the $39.6M short position could serve as the best fuel, and the short squeeze could be very violent in the short term.

GameFi collectively comes back to life—AXS rises 23% in one day, do you believe it?
The GameFi sector, which had been silent for several months, suddenly erupts:
AXS +23%, trading volume surges 630%
SAND +22.7%
MANA +20.3%
GALA +7.6%
Open interest in AXS futures contracts soars 91%, exchange reserves decrease 29%—it's not old players leaving, but new funds entering. The question is: is this a true revival of GameFi, or just another dead cat bounce?
The last GameFi bull market was based on "Play-to-Earn," but P2E turned into Play-to-Dump.
This time, if it's just a rebound from o

$13 billion BTC options expire on Friday. Three steps to understand the impact on you
On June 26, $13 billion worth of BTC options expire on Deribit, with the current open positions clearly leaning bearish.
What does this mean for regular holders? Three steps to understand:
Step 1: Identify the main pain point — most call options are concentrated above $68K, while the current $64K is far below, indicating a large number of long positions are underwater.
Step 2: Understand the post-expiry effect — expiration itself doesn't lock in future trends, but it can suppress bullish confidence.
Step 3: C

MSUSD crashes 80%—Another stablecoin collapses
MSUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, dropped directly from $1 to $0.064 today.
Down over 80%. And this is a "stable" coin.
The trigger was the verification service provider Accountable suddenly ending the partnership, the reserve proof page going offline, and the oracle on Morpho being paused as well.
Users engaged in leveraged cycle borrowing were forced to liquidate, and borrowing rates soared.
The official statement is "assets are still fully backed"—do you believe that? Luna said the same back in the day.

Iranian delegation storms out of the negotiation table in anger
The negotiations had only been underway for 80 minutes when the Iranians left.
While Trump is talking peace in Switzerland, he also posts threats like “Hit you even harder next time.”
The Iranian delegation protested on the spot, walked out, and demanded an apology + Israeli withdrawal before returning to the table.
Qatar and Pakistan are still relaying messages in the middle, but no one knows how this drama will end.

The most arrogant sandwich attacker on Ethereum has been hunted down in reverse by 🦈Jaredfromsubway.eth—this name should be familiar to DeFi players.
They have long dominated Ethereum with 70% of sandwich attacks, performing 60,000 to 90k times per month, even sandwiching Vitalik's $2 worth of tokens.
But this week, they got caught slipping.
The attacker spent weeks deploying 66 fake token contracts and fake liquidity pools, mimicking WETH/USDC/USDT, specifically targeting this bot's decision logic with a "anti-MEV honeypot"—luring it into seemingly profitable trades that actually autho

RWA quietly reached $43 billion, are you still watching memes? (Practical tutorial style)
The overall crypto market is underperforming, with the RWA track rising 37% in 180 days, surpassing a total scale of $43 billion.
Three key data points:
① Tokenized funds account for 80% — BlackRock, Securitize, Ondo each manage over $3.6 billion
② Solana's RWA holders number 286k, already surpassing Ethereum's 199k
③ Ethereum remains the main battlefield for RWA assets (57.8%), but user entry points are migrating to Solana
How to participate in RWA? Three steps:

BTC ETF loses 230 million, SOL surges 5% (Controversial opinion) This week, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $227 million, with Ark alone withdrawing $43.53 million.
But Solana ETFs saw inflows of $2.99 million, and ETH ETFs are also attracting funds.
SOL today +5.08% leading the market, BTC only up 1.19%.
