Brazil’s CVM Prepares to Regulate Securities Tokenization Markets The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has taken the first steps towards establishing clear regulations regarding securities’ tokenization. On Friday, the CVM announced that it would establish a working group to experiment with and test onchain securities to regulate crucial activities involving security tokens, including the registration, deposit, custody, trading, and settlement of these digital assets. In a press release, the CVM announced that the group’s responsibilities include conducting comparative studies, analyzing the results of regulatory sandbox initiatives, promoting debates with regulators and market participants, and assessing the impact of decentralized…

Binance will open spot trading for Aerodrome Finance’s $AERO token at 19:00 UTC+8 on July 17, pairing the asset with $USDT, $USDC, and the Turkish lira. The exchange is applying its Seed Tag to $AERO from the outset, the original report from WuBlockchain confirmed, marking the world’s largest crypto venue’s first direct listing of a Base-native decentralized exchange token. The listing comes while deposits will only open an hour after trading begins, and withdrawals are scheduled for 19:00 UTC+8 on July 18. That sequencing tends to create a period where early price action relies on existing off-exchange supply, often triggering…

Amid recent months of market volatility, Bitcoin [$BTC] Long-Term Holders (LTH) continued accumulating supply. LTH supply rose to its all-time high of 16.64 million $BTC, accounting for approximately 83% of the total circulating supply. That is noteworthy given that as of now, the Bitcoin price remains below previous cycle highs. In other words, the majority of investors appear to be increasing their holdings, rather than selling them. Source: Galaxy Research LTH supply did decline in earlier cycles when Bitcoin’s price rose rapidly and holders were taking profits. However, the current trend tells a different story. Long-term investor-held supply increased through…

Strive Inc. (NASDAQ: ASST) bought 759 Bitcoin between June 15 and June 21 at an average price of $65,850 per coin. The firm spent roughly $50 million to push its total holdings beyond 19,800 $BTC, according to an 8-K filing disclosed on June 22. Is Strive’s latest $BTC purchase cheaper than its previous?

The price difference within a single quarter shows how much Bitcoin’s volatility…

Artificial intelligence may present a more immediate and severe security risk to decentralized finance protocols than to Bitcoin, according to Charles Edwards, founder of crypto investment firm Capriole Investments. In a recent interview, Edwards highlighted that AI systems are already demonstrating the ability to bypass multiple layers of security safeguards, raising concerns about the resilience of smart contract-based platforms. Edwards warns of AI-driven DeFi vulnerabilities Edwards pointed to the AI model known as “Mythos,” which he said had successfully broken through successive security defenses in a conventional computing environment. He argued that if such breaches are possible in controlled settings,…

Arthur Hayes strengthened Ethereum’s bullish narrative after acquiring 1,290 $ETH valued at approximately $2.5 million through FalconX. He first deposited funds before completing the purchase, signaling a deliberate accumulation strategy rather than speculative trading. This transaction shifted market attention toward institutional participation because Hayes has historically entered positions during periods of uncertainty. Hayes’ latest move also arrived while Ethereum traded below major resistance, suggesting large investors still viewed current prices as attractive. However, a single whale purchase rarely dictated market direction on its own. Instead, the transaction reinforced broader confidence among market participants who continued monitoring whether additional high-value wallets…
