Spot demand for Bitcoin has remained in negative territory since November 2025, meaning for over 10 months.
In June, an extreme figure of -273,000 $BTC was recorded.
Currently, the situation has improved: spot demand stands at -72,000 $BTC.
This is an improvement, but the dynamics remain unchanged, and the market is still driven more by temporary impulses from futures than by a genuine resurgence in demand.

The amount of BTC supply currently βin profitβ has fallen into a multi-year extreme low zone. Some experts refer to this as a βcapitulation zone,β suggesting that the bottom may be near, though there is no guarantee that it has already formed at current levels.
According to the Coinbase Premium Index, institutional investors on Coinbase have continued selling aggressively for 90 consecutive days. Meanwhile, the time-tested SOPR indicator suggests that there has not yet been a true βmass capitulationβ in BTC involving both short-term and long-term holders, meaning there may still be room for further downside.

πΊπΈ The US Treasury has presented rules for the issuance and sale of stablecoins
Starting in 2027, issuers and crypto trading platforms will face new restrictions in the stablecoin sector on the American market. According to the proposal, starting January 18 of next year, stablecoin issuers will be required to obtain a federal or regional license.
Platforms will also be able to sell stablecoins issued abroad, but only if the foreign issuer complies with US laws and agreements between the US and the country in which it is regulated.
Starting July 18, 2028, broader restrictions are proposed: cryptocurrency exchanges and services will not be able to offer stablecoins to clients in the US, "unless the payment stablecoin is issued by an authorized payment stablecoin issuer."
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that these rules will provide regulatory certainty for businesses and help "strengthen the role of the US dollar," and welcomed public participation in the discussion. The deadline for submitting comments is 60 days after publication.

This year, the People's Bank of China tripled the number of banks participating in digital yuan (e-CNY) operations, increasing the total from ten at the beginning of the year to 30.
Eight new banks were added this week, including Ping An Bank, Hengfeng Bank, Bank of Shanghai, and Bank of Hangzhou. They have connected to the e-CNY system and will begin providing services after completing preparatory work.
The update to the list of operators is the second in 2026. Twelve institutions were added in April. The Chinese central bank stated that it will continue to add operators to its system.
This expansion is part of a major reform that took effect on January 1. Under the new rules, digital yuan held in commercial bank wallets have become deposit liabilities, with banks required to pay interest on them, and balances covered by the deposit insurance system.

Why F2Pool co-founder questioned the justification for Zcash's growth
Crypto millionaire Chun Wang, co-founder of one of the largest mining pools F2Pool (15% of Bitcoin's hashrate), stated that ZEC's fundamental metrics do not justify its position among the largest cryptocurrencies.
Wang noted that there have long been questions about Zcash regarding token distribution, project governance, and network security.
According to Wang, privacy as Zcash's main narrative does not place the project on par with projects like Solana or Hyperliquid. He believes these networks have a clearer demand for use cases.
