Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin's increasing momentum, ETF demand, and institutional adoption may indicate early signs of a new crypto bull run, driven by factors including tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial markets. Hougan pointed out that since July 1st, Bitcoin has risen by 9%, while the Nasdaq 100 has fallen by 6%. He noted that market sentiment and ETF flows have improved, but the market has not yet confirmed a bottom. Hougan believes the next crypto cycle will focus on the convergence of blockchain technology and traditional finance, encompassing stablecoins, tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and the expansion of institutional DeFi to a trillion-dollar scale. Hougan views Hyperliquid and Robinhood as two paths for on-chain finance. He stated that nearly half of Hyperliquid's trading volume comes from traditional assets such as crude oil, silver, and the S&P 500. Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1st to support tokenized stocks and DeFi services.

Odaily Odaily News According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, DEXE reached an all-time high of $49.432 on July 12. It began to decline on July 13, and on July 21, it experienced a single-day maximum drop of 88%, with the price falling from $46.93 to $5.648. Over 11 days, the decline reached 96.8%, with the price dropping from $49.423 to $1.56. Ai Yi stated that the large on-chain fund flows were primarily from CEX hot wallets, and no anomalies were found except for those involving Ceffu. Since July 13, the custody platform Ceffu has transferred a total of 797,900 DEXE to Binance, split across 6 transactions, with a total value of $6.15 million. This makes Ceffu the only entity, besides exchanges, to move over a million dollars worth of this token. Ai Yi noted that due to the Ceffu MirrorX mechanism, DEXE held in Ceffu generates a 1:1 mirrored position on the exchange, and on-chain asset transfers are settled automatically afterward. If this mechanism was used for front-running, the actual value corresponding to the 797,900 DEXE would be $39.44 million. Ai Yi further indicated that public records do not show the DEXE project team depositing tokens with Ceffu, with most tokens being held in the DAO treasury and team-related lock-up contracts. Among DEXE's official partners, Falcon had supported DEXE as collateral on its platform. Falcon's asset custodian includes Ceffu, and Falcon Finance is associated with DWF Labs, which is also on DEXE's partner list. Ai Yi stated that the above conclusions are based on on-chain data and public clues, and it cannot be ruled out that the project team or other market makers are involved.

According to blockchain data analytics platform Bubblemaps, after BitMEX announced its closure, the price of its platform token BMEX dropped significantly, falling approximately 95% from its previous levels. However, based on the tokenomics publicly disclosed by BitMEX, about 75% of the total BMEX supply was originally planned for employee incentives, ecosystem development, and long-term reserves, but these tokens were never distributed on-chain. Data shows that approximately 92% of the BMEX supply was locked in vesting contracts in 2021, with the remaining 8% distributed at the token launch, including: 5% for airdrops and 3% for product and liquidity support.On November 2, 2022, the product and liquidity address claimed approximately 63.75 million BMEX, while addresses designated for employee incentives, ecosystem growth, and long-term reserves did not claim any tokens. Bubblemaps stated that this does not necessarily indicate a problem, as the project may have subsequently adjusted its tokenomics, contracts, or distribution plans, which were not reflected on-chain.
the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released a report stating that decentralized criminal syndicates in Southeast Asia have reorganized into a single, interconnected criminal economy, operating based on shared fraud and money laundering infrastructure.The UNODC estimates that fraud crimes in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand caused losses of between $88.3 billion and $114.1 billion in 2025, with a significant portion stemming from crypto investment scams and romance scams run from industrial parks, with related proceeds laundered on-chain.

: Sandy Kaul, Head of Digital Assets and Innovation at investment management firm Franklin Templeton, stated that the AI agent economy will increase demand for blockchain protocols to facilitate machine-to-machine micropayments. Traditional bank card networks are unsuitable for agent-based payments due to fees and settlement times. Sandy Kaul pointed out that blockchain networks like Aptos, Solana, and BNB Chain are more suitable for the agent economy, with transactions settling in seconds, faster than the 1 to 3 business day settlement time of the Visa network. In a joint report, payment company Visa and investment validation platform Artemis stated that traditional bank cards designed for low-frequency human commercial activities are insufficient to support AI agents, which require near-zero fees and faster settlement. Since its launch in May 2025, the x402 payment protocol developed by Coinbase has seen an adjusted transaction volume of $15 million and over 109 million adjusted transactions.

The tool is still being tested and will undergo third-party audits before its planned release in August.
