According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, multiple institutions have released their staked HYPE and sold it. HYPE has dropped from $72 to $52 in the past month, a decline of 28%. A certain whale holds 1.38 million HYPE long positions, valued at $72.15 million, with the current liquidation price at $47.6, approximately 9% away from HYPE's current price.This position has been held for 8 months and has not been closed. At the end of January, it had an unrealized loss of $26 million, with a maximum unrealized profit of $47.46 million in June, and currently still has an unrealized profit of $18.8 million; its proximity to the liquidation price is due to the previous withdrawal of a significant amount of unrealized profit margin.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. President Trump is weighing the bipartisan ethical counterproposal of the CLARITY Act, and Senate negotiators need to finalize the cryptocurrency conflict of interest rules before the recess on August 7.The bill aims to establish a federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrency companies through the division of responsibilities between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego submitted an enforcement proposal to the White House on July 29. This proposal allows state-level agencies to enforce federal officials' bans on issuing or sponsoring digital tokens, rather than solely handling related violations through the Department of Justice.The U.S. House of Representatives passed a version of the bill on July 17 with 294 votes in favor and 134 against, with over 70 Democrats voting in favor. The Senate has not yet held a full vote; the bill needs 60 votes to pass, and if all Republicans support it, at least 7 Democrats will still need to vote in favor.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng posted on the X platform that we may be in a bear market, but there is still a lot of capital looking for investment opportunities.

Well-known analyst PlanB stated that Bitcoin's closing price in July was $62,818, with the 200-week moving average corresponding to $63,000. It seems that Bitcoin has begun the process of bottoming out.This process typically takes 1-3 months, during which BTC may drop to lower levels.

BNB Chain posted on platform X stating that a wallet address was previously created by a former employee and was used by them to issue a token (Meme coin TST) as part of a video tutorial.The employee is no longer employed by the company due to this incident. After leaving, the employee retained unauthorized access to the relevant seed phrase and used it to generate a new private key.BNB Chain has now learned that the same address is being independently used for activities related to a new Meme token (Meme coin ASTEROID on BNB Chain).BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the issuance of this token and has no control over the token or wallet address. These are unrelated to BNB Chain and have not been endorsed by BNB Chain.BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant government agencies regarding this matter.

Crypto analyst Murphy stated that the Bitcoin URPD (UTXO Realized Price Distribution) data shows that there are 890,000 coins concentrated at the $63,000 level and 710,000 coins at the $62,000 level, together accounting for about 8% of the circulating supply, which is significantly higher than usual.Murphy believes that this data is similar to the concentration seen just before the FTX incident in 2022. The high concentration increases Bitcoin's price sensitivity, making it prone to sharp fluctuations, ultimately leading to violent redistribution, which could be an important directional choice at the end of a bear market.In response, Jiang Zhuoer commented that if the CLARITY Act cannot be passed before Congress goes into recess, Bitcoin may complete its final drop to the bear market bottom.

According to CoinDesk, Bitfinex analysts released a report stating that derivative traders have largely been washed out during the Bitcoin sell-off at the end of June.Bitcoin fell below $58,000 on July 1, and since then, the average daily liquidation amount has remained well below this year's typical range of $400 million to $500 million, indicating that despite macro shocks, there is little forced selling pressure. The decline in the Bitcoin market is smaller than that of leveraged stock themes because the "fuel" for forced selling has been exhausted.Bitfinex analysts expect that investors will remain defensive ahead of next week's U.S. employment report (the next major macro catalyst after the Federal Reserve meeting).They believe that rather than worrying about a new round of forced liquidations, the more critical question is whether the inflow of spot Bitcoin ETF funds can return once the market has a clearer judgment on the Federal Reserve's path.The analysts wrote, "We believe that positions will remain defensive as long as the risk of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes persists. Whether institutional buyers are active or insensitive to prices is the signal that traders have yet to see."

According to News.bitcoin, MoneyFlip CEO Marcos Arturo Kleiman Tronllan was arrested for allegedly hiring a hitman. The investigation initially targeted currency exchange businesses near the US-Mexico border, suspecting that he used the business to evade the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and launder money through cross-border transactions (to clean drug trafficking proceeds).In February 2026, an undercover agent from the Department of Homeland Security contacted Kleiman, requesting to exchange dollars claimed to be from drug transactions into cryptocurrency. Kleiman exchanged approximately $750,000 into cryptocurrency and transferred it to the undercover wallet, charging a 10% fee. During discussions, Kleiman asked the undercover agent to help collect debts from a Mexican businessman and to commit murder, agreeing to pay $40,000 for kidnapping and murder. Kleiman paid a cash deposit of $5,000 in two installments; after the undercover agent presented forged "victim murder" photos and videos, he delivered an additional $5,000 in cash and approximately $25,000 USDT as final payment.

According to NexBlock, the trading volume in South Korea's virtual asset market continues to shrink, and the competitive landscape among the five major won exchanges is changing. During this market downturn, funds are further concentrating on platforms with leading liquidity, while small and medium-sized exchanges are seeking breakthroughs through partnerships with securities companies, institutional market layouts, and operational restructuring. In the future, the focus of competition will no longer be solely on trading volume, but also on stablecoin liquidity, traditional financial cooperation, institutional market expansion, and regulatory compliance capabilities.Data shows that in the first half of this year, the five major won exchanges in South Korea (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) had a total trading volume of approximately $366.58 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 54.6%.From July 1 to 27, the five major exchanges had a cumulative trading volume of about 17.34 trillion won, a decrease of 16.9% compared to the same period last month. Among them, Upbit's trading volume was approximately 11.69 trillion won, which, although down 10%, increased its market share from 62.3% to 67.4%; Bithumb's trading volume fell to 4.71 trillion won, with its share dropping from 30.7% to 27.1%, widening the gap between the two to 40.3 percentage points.

The last time the U.S. Treasury intervened in the yen was back in 2011, but at that time, the direction was to sell yen.
