The SEC has locked in a July target to release its Regulation Crypto safe harbor framework, and the implications for digital finance are significant enough to anchor everything else this briefing touches. Here's what changed.
Separate from the regulatory track, there's a market signal worth watching. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in two hundred twenty-two million dollars on Thursday, snapping an eight-week outflow streak.
JPMorgan Chase reports second-quarter results on Tuesday, July fourteenth. The options market is pricing a four-point-seven percent post-earnings move, which is roughly double the historical average of two-point-four percent.
Out of Southeast Asia, a meaningful regulatory shift. The Philippines SEC has lifted a five-year moratorium on new online lending platform registrations, effective August first.
Finally, KOR Protocol has closed a seven-point-five million dollar Series A at a one hundred million dollar valuation, backed by one-k-x and Blockchain Capital. The platform is building an on-chain clearinghouse for music and entertainment IP: talent discovery, royalty distribution, and rights monetization.
