Traders typically do not rely on a single indicator to determine market trends. But this particular MACD has proved reliable as a standalone gauge through the price crash from the record high of $126,000. Since October, negative crossovers have reliably marked the start of steeper declines, while positive crossovers have preceded meaningful recovery rallies – including the December–January bounce and the February–May bounce. $BTC’s daily chart. (TradingView)The latest bullish crossover therefore points to a notable bounce ahead, though not necessarily the start of a full-blown new uptrend. That bigger move would need more confirmation, which is why the key resistance…

The market for tokenized real-world assets has nearly tripled in a single year — and that may only be the beginning. By the end of June 2026, on-chain value across tokenized RWAs reached $32.22 billion, up from roughly $11.8 billion a year earlier. Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, sees this as the early innings of a far larger shift, projecting that assets deployed in DeFi could hit $2.7 trillion by 2030. Key takeaways Tokenized RWA on-chain value reached $32.22 billion by June 2026, nearly triple the $11.8 billion recorded a year prior. US Treasuries lead…

Europe Has the Rules. Now the Market Is Watching the Execution. The European Union became the first major jurisdiction to establish a comprehensive crypto asset framework through the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The framework gave Europe a chance to shape global standards while giving the industry greater legal certainty. In a July 6 opinion piece, Binance CEO Richard Teng described MiCA as “the world’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-assets.” He positioned it as a milestone for both digital asset development and responsible financial innovation. That early lead now depends on whether national regulators apply the rules consistently across…

After a few years of unrelenting growth, centralized perpetual futures trading is now experiencing some slowdown as users are becoming increasingly selective. The selectivity is indicative of risk aversion rather than an absence of demand. As a result, users have reduced their use of leverage and are waiting for clearer directional signals. Currently, Binance leads the market in terms of cumulative perpetual volume at approximately $7.9 trillion through 2026. OKX and MEXC each reached nearly $4 trillion in cumulative perpetuals, whereas Bybit had approximately $2.7 trillion.

Solana’s real-world asset transfer volume more than doubled over the past month, giving the network a stronger signal that tokenized assets are beginning to circulate rather than sit on-chain after issuance. RWA.xyz showed Solana’s RWA 30-day transfer volume at $8.68 billion as of July 6, up 105.76% from 30 days earlier. Distributed asset value rose 36.27% over the same period to $3.48 billion. Solana’s own data showed a similar increase in turnover in a related market. The network said tokenized asset spot volume across decentralized exchanges grew from $2.69 billion in the first quarter to $5.7 billion in the second…

Bitcoin has climbed back above $63,000, gaining about 2% over the past 24 hours, as lower oil prices and softer U.S. bond yields have improved sentiment toward risk assets despite the crypto market remaining in extreme fear. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) traded around $63,250 on Thursday after recovering alongside other major cryptocurrencies as geopolitical concerns tied to Iran eased. The move followed a retreat in crude oil prices from recent highs and lower Treasury yields, conditions that often encourage investors to move back into higher-risk assets. Although the recovery has pushed Bitcoin higher, investor confidence remains fragile.…

The minutes indicated that some Fed members believed there was justification for raising interest rates, but ultimately supported maintaining the current interest rate range at this meeting. This statement showed that the cautious and hawkish stance regarding the inflation outlook within the Fed had not completely disappeared. Most officials noted the likelihood of inflation remaining high. The minutes highlighted that demand driven by artificial intelligence, conflicts in the Middle East, and tariffs could all exert upward pressure on inflation. In such a scenario, almost all participants indicated that some policy tightening measures might be necessary. Related News New Tensions Ignite…

The MiCA effect has proved real. Just days after the EU’s strict regulatory deadline came into force, Circle’s regulated euro stablecoin $EURC recorded an unprecedented surge in on-chain activity, setting all-time highs across key network metrics in its four-year history. According to data from analytics platform Santiment, the daily number of active $EURC addresses suddenly jumped to 1,760, while the number of newly created wallets within the ecosystem reached 713 per day.

Why Is the CLARITY Act’s Momentum Building? The CLARITY Act gained momentum after the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) formally endorsed the bill. NOBLE says it has nearly 60 chapters and represents more than 3,000 members worldwide, including chief executives and command-level law enforcement officials. Crypto advocacy group “Stand With Crypto,” which says it represents more than 2.6 million crypto supporters across the United States, noted on X July 6: “NOBLE is the first major law enforcement organization to endorse the Clarity Act publicly.” In its July 1 letter to Senate leaders John Thune (R-SD) and Chuck…
