Step-by-Step Presale Guide, Finding Top Crypto Presales in July 2026

Crypto presales continue attracting attention in July 2026, but investors have become far more selective than they were during previous market cycles. Instead of chasing every new meme coin, buyers are increasingly looking for projects with working products, transparent tokenomics, audited smart contracts, and clear development plans before committing capital. MemeToro ($MT) is one of the AI-focused projects benefiting from that shift. Before looking at how to participate in its presale, it’s worth understanding how experienced investors evaluate any early-stage crypto project. What Makes a Crypto Presale Worth Considering? The crypto market has matured considerably over the past few years.…

US Has Never Been Closer to Clear Crypto Rules

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes the United States is closer than ever to establishing clear rules for crypto, according to his latest social media post. Garlinghouse argues that Washington’s approach to crypto has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. This assessment was made after the inaugural meeting of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Innovation Advisory Committee in Washington on Aug. 20. As reported by U.Today, the committee, which was chaired by CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, brought together executives from crypto and traditional finance to advise the agency on various issues pertaining to tech, law, and policy.

How Funding Rate, Liquidation and Taxes Work on Perpetual Futures

Trading in perpetual contracts is shifting away from exchanges that hold a customer account for you and towards venues where you sign every order with your own wallet. These venues are called perp DEX. Anyone reading the abbreviation for the first time will usually find either marketing copy or documentation written for developers. This article sits in between: it explains what happens when you open a position there, which costs accrue while it runs, and where the construction breaks. One point up front: a perpetual is a leveraged product. The figures below come from the public documentation of individual venues…

Four unpatched bugs, a 5-year quantum clock, and a miner standoff are pushing Bitcoin to a critical crossroad

Bitcoin entered BIP-110's final ordinary 2,016-block window on July 25 with miner support at 0.89%. The proposal requires 1,109 blocks, or 55%, for ordinary lock-in, and its mandatory version-bit phase can begin in August if support stays below that threshold. Jameson Lopp has framed Consensus Cleanup, covenants, and quantum preparation as Bitcoin's next agenda. He also occupies two sides of that transition: Lopp opposes BIP-110 and co-authored BIP-361, a draft plan for post-quantum migration. BIP-110 gives those debates a live governance reference because developers, miners, node operators, exchanges, custodians and holders each supply a different form of consent. The next…

Why AI-Generated Fair Launches Change the Meme Coin Future

Few sectors in crypto have evolved as much as memecoins. What began with community-driven projects like Dogecoin eventually expanded into larger ecosystems such as Shiba Inu. Today, another shift is beginning as artificial intelligence enters the space, changing not only how meme coins are promoted but also how they are launched. MemeToro ($MT) represents that newer generation. Instead of competing directly with Dogecoin or Shiba Inu as another community token, it focuses on building infrastructure that could influence how future meme projects are created. That difference makes the comparison less about popularity and more about how the sector itself is…

Big Banks Demand Identity Checks for Secondary Stablecoin Markets

Big Banks Ask For Customer ID Requirements to Be Extended to Secondary Stablecoin Markets The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), a member organization that groups banking behemoths like JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citi, among others, has proposed extending identity requirements to secondary stablecoin markets. In a comment letter on the “Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer Customer Identification Program” proposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the group called for applying the Customer Identification Program (CIP) provisions to exchanges and other platforms that directly interact with retail customers and are not under the proposed…
