Analysts Eye a Potential Floor Bitcoin reclaimed $64,000 on Tuesday, just hours after it dipped to $62,800, maintaining its July upward momentum. Market data shows the cryptocurrency initially breached the $64,000 mark late Monday afternoon, threatening to test $64,700. Shortly after hitting a 24-hour peak of $64,657, bitcoin began a downtrend that nearly erased the previous day’s gains. Just after midnight, the trend reversed as the cryptocurrency climbed back above $63,000. It held above that threshold until 10:30 a.m., when a brief flash crash dragged it back to $62,800. Volatility was on display again as it raced back to $64,140,…

UK regulators are calling for tokenization and “new forms of digital money” to be part of the core infrastructure of the country’s future retail payment ecosystem.

Bitcoin has shed over half its value since its October 2025 peak, drifting to roughly $63,000 at press time. Presently, it has largely held a tight range between $58,000 and $63,000. The decline stems mostly from mounting geopolitical tension that built after the peak—the U.S.-China tariff war and the unresolved West Asia conflict—which pulled capital out of Bitcoin. Sentiment has since settled on the geopolitical front, but moves by major holders cast doubt on whether a sustainable rally is coming. Michael Saylor’s Strategy recently sold $216 million worth of Bitcoin to fund a dividend payment, sharpening that uncertainty. On-chain data…

Tokenized Assets Must Become Tradable to Unlock Real Value The real-world asset ( RWA) sector has spent years proving that traditional assets can be represented onchain. For Kevin Yunai, founder and CEO of RWA Inc, that debate is now largely settled. The more important question is whether tokenized assets can create better financial markets. “Simple tokenization is putting an asset representation onchain,” Yunai said. “Productive onchain finance is when that asset becomes usable: tradable, financeable, pledgeable, composable, transparent, and connected to real economic yield.” That distinction is central to the next phase of the RWA market. Tokenization alone can create…

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Mike Selig has publicly criticized Illinois’ newly enacted Digital Asset Privilege Tax Act, calling it a ‘sin tax’ that could undermine Chicago’s standing as a premier financial hub. In a post on X, Selig argued that the legislation imposes a 0.2% tax on cryptocurrency asset transfers, even in cases where no economic gain occurs, effectively treating digital asset ownership as a taxable event.
