💬 Arc Introduces Stablecoin-Native Economic OS

According to the newly shared ARC whitepaper, $ARC is being positioned as the core coordination token that aligns incentives across the entire ecosystem through:

- Validator participation via staking 
- Economic governance 
- Stablecoin-based fee mechanics 
- Platform utility for both users and builders 

The core idea is straightforward: shared economic infrastructure only works when the people building and using it are durably coordinated from day one.

For developers, this means a reliable foundation where stablecoins power real payments, fees, and treasury flows — removing the usual volatility friction that kills long-term adoption.

Arc is already live in public testnet, positioning itself as the Economic OS for the internet.

📰 CryptoQuant: American investors are actively selling Bitcoin

The Coinbase Premium Gap dropped to -$77, meaning BTC is trading cheaper on Coinbase than on major overseas exchanges like Binance.

Why this matters?

The Coinbase Premium Gap is widely used as a proxy for US demand. When the metric turns negative, it usually signals:

▸ stronger selling pressure from US traders
▸ weaker spot buying activity
▸ risk-off sentiment among American investors

In simple terms: while CT keeps posting “institutions are buying everything,” the data currently shows US market participants hitting the sell button instead.

Historically, deeply negative Coinbase Premium readings often appear during periods of fear, panic, or macro uncertainty.

The cost of switching chains in crypto is so high, most projects don't bother.

They stay in dying ecosystems. They watch users leave. They quietly accept obsolescence.

📰 BITMINE ADDS 126,971 $ETH, NOW HOLDS 4.59% OF ALL ETHEREUM.

BitMine added another 126,971 $ETH, lifting its total holdings to 5.54 million ETH.

That puts its total crypto and cash holdings at $9.6 BILLION.

📰 Ethereum staking has reached a new all-time high, with 32.7% of the total ETH supply now locked in staking

The trend highlights a growing shift among ETH holders: instead of leaving their coins idle, more investors are choosing to earn yield through staking—especially with the rise of liquid staking solutions and DeFi integrations.

A higher staking ratio reduces the liquid supply of ETH on the market, which some analysts view as a potentially bullish long-term factor if demand continues to grow.

As Ethereum’s ecosystem matures, staking is increasingly becoming the default strategy for holders looking to generate passive income while staying exposed to the network’s growth.

📰Crypto exchanges are increasingly becoming RWA marketplaces

On Binance, USDT perpetual volumes for gold, oil, and stocks are already surpassing many altcoins outside the top 10 by market cap!

According to CryptoQuant's CEO, demand for contracts tied to real-world assets is growing so quickly that exchanges are evolving beyond pure crypto speculation and turning into multi-asset trading platforms.

The trend is clear:

🟡 Gold and commodities are attracting more traders.
🛢 Oil contracts are gaining traction.
📈 Stock-related products are competing with traditional altcoin markets.

This shift suggests that the future of crypto exchanges may not be limited to digital assets alone. Instead, they could become one-stop markets where users trade Bitcoin, stocks, commodities, and other tokenized real-world assets from the same platform.

The "crypto casino" is slowly turning into a global marketplace for everything.

💵 Machi Big Brother's 25x $ETH long is hanging by a thread.

• Position Value: 9,000 $ETH ($15.84M)
• Unrealised PnL: +$353.25K unrealized (+55.74% ROE)

• Entry: $1,721.04
• Market Price: $1,760.30
• Liquidation: $1,731.95

With the mark price just $28.35 above liquidation, a small move lower could wipe out the entire position.

📰 CryptoQuant believes Bitcoin could have more upside in the short term

Historically, July has been one of Bitcoin's stronger months, even during bear markets. In 2018, BTC gained 20% in July, while in 2022 it rallied 17%, despite the broader downtrend.

Seasonality alone doesn't guarantee another rally, but historical data suggests July has often provided relief after periods of heavy selling.

Will history repeat itself once again?

📰 Another brutal day for DeFi security

Hackers drained ~24M USDC from the AFX Trade cross-chain bridge on Arbitrum after compromising validator keys. The bridge required 5 of 7 signatures to authorize transactions—and the attackers obtained them, allowing the smart contract to release the funds as designed.

The damage didn't stop there:

🔹 Verus cross-chain bridge lost over $7M after another liquidity drain.
🔹 B² Network suffered a ~$4M exploit targeting its liquidity pool, forcing the team to temporarily pause B2 staking while promising full compensation.

The incidents are another reminder that cross-chain bridges remain one of the biggest attack surfaces in crypto, with compromised validator keys continuing to be a major security risk.

⚖️ Telegram faces another legal challenge—this time in Australia

Australia's eSafety Commissioner has launched legal action against Telegram, accusing the platform of failing to promptly remove terrorist content reported by users in late 2025.

👀 According to the regulator, 10 out of 12 reported posts—including ISIS execution videos and footage from the Christchurch and Buffalo attacks—were not removed quickly enough, while related accounts allegedly remained active.

Telegram could face a fine of up to A$54.6 million (around US$38 million). At this stage, Australian authorities are not seeking to block the platform, with the case focused on content moderation compliance.
