“I’d encourage the Commission not to dismiss third-party stock tokens, but to treat them as what they are — a different class of financial instrument, with clear separation from real stocks.” Not everyone agrees Some market participants, however, say the STA’s proposal risks grouping together fundamentally different tokenization models. “The key is whether the tokens represent true stock ownership or just economic exposure,” Dinari CEO Gabe Otte told CoinDesk. He said many of the STA’s concerns are valid but apply primarily to synthetic tokenized products. He pointed to the SEC’s January statement, which distinguishes custodial tokenized securities from synthetic structures,…

South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, have seen a noticeable surge in trading volume for certain altcoins. A comparison of data from the two exchanges over the past 24 hours reveals that Threshold Network (T), $XRP, and Worldcoin ($WLD) are particularly in the focus of South Korean investors. Threshold Network tops the list. T’s trading volume on Upbit reached $68.27 million, while its volume on Bithumb was $8.49 million. Thus, the altcoin’s total trading volume across the two exchanges reached approximately $76.75 million. Threshold Network was followed by $XRP with a total volume of $41.23 million. Related News…

Michael Terpin, founder and CEO of Transform Ventures and author of Bitcoin Supercycle, said freezing Satoshi’s coins would cross a line Bitcoin has never crossed. Terpin is sometimes called ‘the crypto godfather’ for his involvement in the industry around 2013, when it was still young and somewhat misunderstood by the mainstream. “While I appreciate the proactivity in CZ’s proposal, it begins a slippery slope of creating permission in a permissionless system relative to personal property,” Terpin told CoinDesk. “If indeed [Satoshi] is dead, as many Bitcoiners believe, then only a quantum hack unlocks the coins. While it would hurt the…

Ethereum whales remain comfortably in profit, but rising exchange deposits and ample liquidity could keep selling pressure elevated. CryptoQuant contributor PelinayPA said Ethereum’s Whale Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) remains above zero. This means large holders are still sitting on unrealized gains. However, the metric has not yet reached the extreme levels seen at previous market tops. That suggests whales have not entered the profit zone that typically leads to heavy selling. “Whales are not yet at the psychological threshold that typically triggers heavy profit-taking,” the analyst said. Although their unrealized profits are gradually shrinking, the current trend does not resemble…

Uncertainty continues in the Clarity Act process, one of the most important legislative bills aimed at regulating cryptocurrencies in the US. At this point, the passage of the Clarity Act, also known as the Transparency Act, is eagerly awaited, and US President Donald Trump has also called for its enactment. At this point, Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, pointed out that many countries, including China, were trying to get their hands on this “important financial event.” He added that the US is currently in a leading position, but it should not allow China to win in either…

Bitcoin climbed above $63,000 in U.S. morning hours Saturday, up 1.4% over 24 hours and 3.6% on the week, per CoinDesk data, its highest in two weeks and a full reversal of the losses that closed out June. $XRP led the day’s majors, up 5.3% to $1.18 and nearly 10% on the week, a move that lifted it past the USDC stablecoin to fifth place by market value at about $73 billion. The gain came alongside onchain data showing $XRP holders at their deepest average losses on record – the kind of washed-out positioning some traders buy against. Ether added…

Ethereum’s best marketing line was that using it destroyed it, that every transaction burned $ETH and shrank the supply. Then the network solved its scaling problem, activity fled to layer 2s, and the burn collapsed. The scaling worked. The scarcity did not survive it. For about eighteen months, Ethereum had the best story in crypto, and the story was a paradox: the more people used the network, the rarer its token became. Every transaction burned a little $ETH, and when the network was busy enough, it burned more than it created. Supply went down. The community called it ultrasound money,…

Monthly venture deal count in crypto fell to roughly 50 deals in May, a level last seen in the pre-2021 era when the industry was a fraction of its current size. The compression is visible across nearly every category in the chart, with Infrastructure and Crypto Financial Services, historically the two most active buckets, both tracking near multi-year lows. The decline reflects a combination of factors. Investor attention has broadly shifted toward AI, pulling capital and mindshare away from crypto ventures at a structural level. Simultaneously, the crypto space has struggled to produce the volume of compelling early-stage opportunities that…

The ethics provision is among the final sections of the Clarity Act that need to be ironed out if the bill is to advance to a Senate floor vote. The clock is running out on getting the legislation approved, and industry insiders are anxiously awaiting the latest draft of Clarity, which they expect in the next couple of days. But it isn’t expected to have completed language on this section and a couple of other points also still being debated. Earlier, bipartisan discussions had covered the possibilities of extending ethics implementation to a later period that might not impose immediate…
