🇪🇺 Europe Begins Purging Crypto Exchanges

Today, the MiCA regulations officially come into full force. No license? Say goodbye to operating in the EU it’s either withdrawal-only mode or a regulatory boot out the door.

🟢 Licensed and compliant: Kraken, Bybit, Coinbase, OKX, Bitpanda, Crypto .com, and others that secured their MiCA authorization in time.

🔴 Still unlicensed: Binance, MEXC, HTX, KuCoin, and several other exchanges that served the European market for years but failed to obtain a MiCA license before the deadline.

😳 Crypto Twitter is once again calling the top for Saylor.

Rumors are circulating that Strategy may have sold Bitcoin for the first time.

According to the claims, the company allegedly sold 491 BTC on July 1, worth roughly $30.2 million.

There’s no official confirmation, so for now, it’s just another wave of FUD.

😐 The size of the alleged sale isn’t the real story. 491 BTC is insignificant compared to Strategy’s 847K BTC holdings. The real risk is the FUD itself, which bears will almost certainly use to push a bearish narrative.

🇪🇺The largest fintech company Revolut is delisting the stablecoin USDT.
Users from Europe have received a notification (via push and email) about the discontinuation of support for the USDT stablecoin.
After August 31, 2026, all remaining USDT balances will be automatically converted to fiat at the current rate.

Reason: Compliance with MiCA. The company Tether has not received MiCA authorization (unlike USDC).

🧠 What if two crypto investors had entered the market 10 years ago with the same $10,000?

One bought Bitcoin. The other chose Ethereum.

Fast forward to today:

🪙 BTC: ~$640K (64x)
⚪️ ETH: ~$2.17M (217x)

Same starting capital. Same time in the market. Same conviction.

Yet Ethereum delivered roughly 3.4× the returns of Bitcoin.

🕔 The best part? Ethereum was the one everyone kept calling dead.

“Gas fees are too high.”
“The network is too slow.”
“Solana will replace Ethereum.”
“Vitalik is cooking something again.”

Despite years of FUD, Ethereum ended up massively outperforming Bitcoin over the past decade. 😏

😁 Trump may have just handed his critics the headline of the year.

During an interview, the President basically said that whenever his children buy assets, people assume they have insider information.

He was trying to argue that holding the presidency makes every business move by his family look like a conflict of interest.

The point he meant to make:

My kids are unfairly accused.

The point many people heard:

Yeah… pretty much every purchase my kids make comes with an insider-trading vibe.

😁

🌐 SWIFT launches its own blockchain.

The international payment system SWIFT announced the readiness of its own blockchain ledger for conducting cross-border payments using tokenized deposits.

17 of the largest banks have already joined the pilot launch, including Citi, HSBC, UBS, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Wells Fargo, and others.

What this will provide:
• Banks will be able to conduct international transfers 24/7, including nights and weekends.
• Funds will be moved via tokenized deposits, while final settlement will remain within the existing banking infrastructure.
• According to SWIFT, this will increase the speed of international payments and liquidity management efficiency.

SWIFT also stated that the new ledger will become the foundation for further development of Programmable Money and settlements involving AI agents (Agentic Commerce).

🤖 Ethereum Foundation uses AI agents to find vulnerabilities– blog

The EF team has launched a fleet of coordinated AI agents against Ethereum code – artificial intelligence analyzes system software, cryptographic code, and contracts.

They have already found real bugs, one of which is in gossipsub – an important part of the libp2p network protocol through which nodes exchange messages. The vulnerability allowed a remote crash of a node – an attacker could send a special message and "take down" a node. This issue was assigned the identifier CVE-2026-34219 and has been fixed.

AI agents are very good at generating hypotheses and attack scenarios. However, most of what they find are false positives, duplicates, or things that cannot be reproduced in real-world conditions. Therefore, the main work now is verifying and filtering the results.

🇪🇺 Following Binance’s EU restrictions, 70% of users moved their funds to self-custody wallets, while only 30% switched to MiCA-compliant exchanges.

✅ According to Binance CEO Richard Teng, this raises questions about MiCA’s effectiveness: instead of moving to licensed platforms, most users simply left the regulated ecosystem.

Regulators wanted users to switch from one exchange to another. Instead, users chose self-custody. 🤷‍♂️

🚀 Could SpaceX Be Worth More Than Earth?

Elon Musk thinks so.

His vision includes Mars colonization, asteroid mining, and orbital manufacturing making SpaceX potentially more valuable than today’s 126T$ global economy.

📉 SpaceX shares currently trade around 145$, about 35% below their 225$ peak.

The market is already pricing in a future that hasn’t been built yet.

Bullish vision or pure hype?

📈 Bitcoin is up nearly 10% in July, but analysts warn history could repeat itself.

BTC is having its strongest July since 2022. However, analysts note that the last time Bitcoin had such a strong July, it was followed by a sharp decline in August.

Many expect the rally to continue through the rest of July, but caution that volatility could return afterward, with Q4 expected to be the most important period of the year for the market.

History doesn’t repeat exactly, but the market often rhymes

🇺🇸 White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt will temporarily step away from his role to begin military training with the Georgia Army National Guard.

Witt has been one of the key figures behind the CLARITY Act, the bill that could establish the first comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto in the U.S.

Deputy Director Harry Jung will assume his responsibilities during Witt’s absence, while sources say Witt will remain involved in the legislative process.
