The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin dismissed the CFTC's request for a preliminary injunction to prohibit Wisconsin from enforcing sports-related event contracts on platforms such as Kalshi, Coinbase, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Crypto.com. The court found that the CFTC failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on its claim—that the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) defines "swaps" to include sports event contracts—and that gambling regulation falls within the traditional police powers of the states, with federal law not clearly indicating an intent to preempt state law.Additionally, the court also denied the intervention requests from Kalshi, Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA), and the American Gaming Association (AGA). The substantive litigation between the CFTC and the state of Wisconsin will continue to proceed.

According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, the National Tax Service of South Korea is accelerating preparations for the taxation of virtual assets by 2027, including the establishment of a new Digital Asset Comprehensive Division and the promotion of the construction of a comprehensive analysis system for virtual assets. However, the National Assembly has not yet scheduled the discussion on the petition signed by 50,000 people to abolish the virtual asset tax, and discussions have stalled.Under the current tax system, investment income from virtual assets is taxed at 22% after a deduction of 2.5 million won, while stock investors do not pay capital gains tax when buying and selling stocks on the exchange, and losses from virtual assets cannot be carried over to the next year, which has been criticized as unfair. Related discussions are expected to advance after the government's tax reform plan is announced at the end of July.

Crypto KOL Phyrex published a system analysis of rToken issued by Reality under Bitget, believing that rToken should not be understood merely as "tokenized stocks." Its core value lies in achieving asset composability after connecting to a unified account, breaking the limitations of RWA liquidity islands.Phyrex focused on three directly implementable trading strategies: amplifying directional exposure to US stocks, Delta Neutral arbitrage, and staking lending cycles. For institutions, the core value of rToken lies in three major mechanisms: direct order connection to the US stock order book to achieve no de-pegging risk, UTA unified account joint margin to enhance asset efficiency, and weekend collateral valuation anchored to Friday's closing price to ensure controllable risk, ultimately enabling the management of Crypto, stock tokens, and derivative positions within the same account, reducing the costs of multi-platform rebalancing and fund transfers.
