🇷🇺In Russia, the law on digital currency was significantly tightened for the second reading — from 2027, exchange offices will have to obtain a license, store customer data for 5 years, and have a minimum of 15 million rubles in their own funds.

Also, a 48-hour "cooling-off period" is introduced for large transfers to third-party wallets and restrictions on bank transfers to foreign crypto services — in fact, access to the external market will be controlled by legal exchange offices and brokers.

⛏️ The quantum race is unexpectedly heating up demand for rubidium — a rare metal whose atoms QuEra and Pasqal use as qubits.

In 2026, the global market is estimated at just 7–8 tons, while high-purity laboratory rubidium costs around $128 per gram, by 2035 demand could grow to almost 12 tons, turning a niche raw material into a strategic resource.

🇦🇷 Argentine court ordered to freeze 25 accounts on Binance, Bybit, OKX and other exchanges in the case of the shitcoin **LIBRA** and demanded to disclose KYC, transactions, and IP logs of their owners.

📊 Robinhood launched their own blockchain on July 1, and in just 16 days, the volume of funds locked in its protocols exceeded $400,000,000.

For a new network, this is a powerful start, although for now a significant part of the activity is not related to tokenized stocks, but with DeFi and shitcoins.

⚖️ Andrew and Tristan Tate detained in Miami at the request of the UK — U.S. Marshals Service officers arrested the brothers after British prosecutors requested their extradition in a case involving sexual offenses and human trafficking.

Andrew Tate was charged with dozens of offenses, including rape, assault, and organizing human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

Tate has long been associated with the crypto market — he promoted shitcoins on Solana, launched crypto projects, and publicly discussed earnings from digital assets. Earlier, analysts accused him of promoting tokens that sharply lost value after hype, but Tate himself denied any wrongdoing.

🏙 Akon City was supposed to become a "$6 billion African Dubai" with its own Akoin cryptocurrency, skyscrapers, and a city of the future, but 8 years later, instead of a metropolis, only an unfinished Welcome Center remains — Wakanda remained just a dream.

Now the Akon project is called one of the loudest scams failures of the crypto-hype era.
