Binance has adopted a policy routing the majority of foreign law enforcement agency requests through the UAE and mutual legal assistance treaty process, resulting in slower access to user data. European investigators and US prosecutors have stated that this change makes it more difficult to track scammers, combat money laundering, and quickly freeze or seize assets. Binance will still directly respond to cases involving child sexual abuse, terrorism, or imminent threats to life. Binance stated that it has not reduced its cooperation with regulatory and law enforcement agencies and defined the new process as enhanced safeguards consistent with standards for regulated institutions. The company's compliance operations continue to face ongoing scrutiny.

According to a post by a16z crypto researcher Robert Hackett and data advisor Ryan Holloway, the tokenized stock market is experiencing explosive growth. As of June 2026, the total market capitalization of tokenized stocks reached approximately $1.7 billion, representing a more than fivefold increase from $329 million a year earlier, making it one of the fastest-growing categories among tokenized assets. On-chain data shows that monthly transfer volume surged from $53 million last June to $9.22 billion this June, a year-over-year increase of more than 170 times. The market structure has also changed significantly: the proportion of crypto-related products dropped from 79% to 21%; the AI and chip category jumped from nearly zero to a market share of 15.5%; tech giants rose from 0.6% to 10.6%; and ETFs and indices increased from 4.5% to 17.3%. At the institutional level, DTCC has completed the first live trades of tokenized Treasury bonds and stocks on Digital Asset's Canton network, with full services planned to launch in October, which will open access for Wall Street to approximately $114 trillion in DTC custodied assets. Meanwhile, Robinhood has launched its own chain, NYSE's parent company announced a joint venture with OKX (pending regulatory approval), and Coinbase and Binance have also sequentially launched offerings for non-U.S. users.
the Midnight Foundation has provided an update on the handling of the cross-chain bridge attack event involving Wanchain Cardano and BNB. Multiple exchanges including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate, and MEXC have coordinated risk control actions, temporarily freezing the involved accounts and associated addresses, adding the hacker wallet to a blacklist, and pausing NIGHT token deposits and withdrawals as needed to curb the transfer and cashing out of stolen assets.The Foundation specifically noted that this security incident is an isolated incident related to a third-party cross-chain bridge, and the Midnight mainnet and native NIGHT assets have not been affected. The project team continues to collaborate with major exchanges and ecosystem partners to advance traceability investigations, reminding the community to rely on official disclosures for information and to be cautious of misinformation.
Giovanni Cunti, CEO of Gate Europe, stated that some crypto companies which have already obtained licenses under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) may still exit the EU market due to rising compliance costs. Cunti indicated that stricter regulatory requirements make it more difficult for new entrants to compete, and some licensed companies may not be able to sustain the costs and resources required for ongoing operations under this framework in the long term. MiCA is the EU's regulatory framework for crypto assets. The 18-month transitional period ended on July 1st, and crypto companies serving EU clients must either obtain authorization or cease providing regulated services. Binance failed to obtain a MiCA license before the deadline. Last Friday, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) added 14 crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to its register, bringing the total number of authorized companies to 294. Cunti noted that the number of market operators in Europe has already decreased from thousands to hundreds.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on X platform, pointing out that Bitcoin has been oscillating around the key support level of $60,000 for nearly 165 days, failing to hold firm and reignite upward momentum. One core reason is the market's lack of new liquidity. Over the past 30 days, the net outflow of stablecoin reserves from Binance and Bybit has approached $2.3 billion. New demand, whether flowing into Bitcoin or the entire crypto market, remains weak. Since the beginning of this year, stablecoin reserves on exchanges have continued to decline. This rather pessimistic market sentiment continues to restrict the funding support needed for Bitcoin to break out of its current consolidation range.However, as regulatory measures like the GENIUS Act require stablecoins to improve compliance, the decentralized nature of the stablecoin ecosystem may be weakened. In the long term, Bitcoin's decentralized characteristics could thereby become more prominent.
Argentine Federal Judge Marcelo Martinez ordered the identification and freezing of a group of wallets linked to Libra, after the Federal Police Cybercrime Technical Department tracked the flow of related funds across multiple crypto networks since May. The investigation involves 8 wallets labeled "Libra team," which are directly connected to the token issuance.The report shows that 4 of these wallets had funneled nearly $57 million to an address, which was previously frozen and then unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, related funds were transferred to a Tron address via an interoperability protocol, with the amount close to $500,000. At least 10 out of 17 transactions passed through Binance, while another 8 wallets are associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex. Some users involved in the $8.2 million in funds could potentially be identified through the KYC rules of centralized exchanges. The remaining funds are currently managed by Libra Trust, which plans to distribute them as grants to Argentine companies by November. There are already 71 applications pending approval.

on-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that the LAB token has fallen from $14 to under $2 in the past 24 hours, a drop of approximately 85%, with its fully diluted valuation (FDV) shrinking sharply from around $14 billion.ZachXBT expressed disappointment that Binance, Bitget, and Gate did not take proactive measures to prevent price manipulation. He stated that if centralized exchanges truly valued user interests, they should at least return profits from accounts suspected of market manipulation to users.He also pointed out that LAB investors were originally scheduled to begin unlocking tokens later this month, but the vesting schedule has been repeatedly modified. Insiders have long controlled nearly the entire circulating supply and have used market makers to carry out extreme price manipulation on centralized exchanges. Therefore, he "does not recommend trading LAB under any circumstances."
the Brazilian Association of Crypto-Economics (ABcripto) has requested the Brazilian Central Bank to suspend a proposal that would introduce a 24-hour delay for large stablecoin transfers. The association opposes the Central Bank's previous recommendation to impose a 24-hour lockup window for stablecoin transfers exceeding $10,000, stating that the measure would impact transparent market participants using regulated entities, while illicit actors would remain unaffected. ABcripto's members include Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Tether.The Brazilian Central Bank cited Chainalysis' crypto crime report, noting that illegal transaction volumes reached an all-time high in 2025. ABcripto President Julia Rosin stated that illegal actors typically avoid regulated institutions, preferring platforms that do not require identity verification, mixers, cross-chain bridges, and other less transparent structures.ABcripto also stated that the lockup measure could undermine the near-instant settlement use case for stablecoins and push users towards unregulated service providers. Currently, the Brazilian Congress is discussing specific regulations for stablecoins, and the Brazilian Central Bank plans to classify stablecoins as electronic money, rather than under the current digital asset classification. (Bitcoin.com News).
the Central Bank of Brazil stated during a hearing at the Congressional Economic Development Committee that stablecoins should be treated as electronic currency instruments, not digital assets. Fábio Araújo, an advisor to the Financial System Regulation Department of the Central Bank of Brazil, stated that digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum possess characteristics such as scarcity, transferability, and verifiability. Stablecoins, however, are different and should be understood as monetary instruments when they exhibit features of a means of payment. The Brazilian Congress is preparing to deliberate Bill No. 4308/2024, proposed by Congressman Aureo Ribeiro in 2024, to clarify rules for stablecoins. The Brazilian crypto economy association Abcripto opposes this classification. Its members include Binance, Coinbase, Fireblocks, Visa, Tether, OKX, and Ripio. Abcripto stated that this classification will lead to regulatory conflicts, affect stablecoin adoption among both institutional and retail users in Brazil, and hinder virtual asset service providers. The Central Bank of Brazil also recently issued a new resolution, elevating its supervision of virtual asset service providers to the same level as securities institutions. (Bitcoin.com News).
Binance has withdrawn its MiCA license application in Greece due to approval delays and regulatory uncertainty, and was forced to suspend some services and new registrations for EU users just days before the July 1 deadline. Gillian Lynch, Binance’s Head of Europe, stated that MiCA’s success should be measured by how many crypto companies are brought into the regulatory framework. She also defended Binance’s financial crime control measures, refuting allegations made in a recent Wall Street Journal report.Lynch said that excluding Binance from MiCA would harm the European crypto market by removing key liquidity and infrastructure, and reiterated that Binance remains committed to obtaining new licenses and staying in Europe.
