The SEC is planning to propose sweeping crypto rules this month. That's not speculation.
While regulators are building frameworks, attackers aren't waiting. A suspected exploit hit LayerZero Executor wallets across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, and several other networks.
Shifting to emerging markets. Bolivia's Economy Minister announced a July thirteenth evaluation of integrating Tether USDT into the national payment framework alongside the boliviano and USD.
Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder, made a pointed statement this cycle: low Layer 1 fees, staking growth, and ETH burning are essential for Ethereum's long-term adoption. That's a meaningful emphasis from someone inside the tent.
On Bitcoin, the BIP-110 proposal to restrict non-financial data in witness space is showing roughly one percent miner signaling as of July fifteenth. The August seventh activation window is approaching and the numbers aren't moving.
On the macro side, June CPI came in at three point five percent year-over-year, below the three point eight percent expectation, and negative zero point four percent month-over-month. Lower inflation reduced pressure on risk assets and Bitcoin rebounded above sixty-five thousand dollars.
