This Sunday, July 26, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, reignited speculation with a post on social media. While the company has paused its bitcoin purchases while strengthening its treasury, every statement from its leader is interpreted as a strategic signal. This new statement rekindles expectations around a possible resumption of acquisitions, in a context where Strategy's moves continue to influence the market.

The cryptocurrency market continues to lose several historic platforms. Within a few months, Bit.com and then BitMEX announced their gradual disappearance. Now, BitMart also confirms the cessation of its activities according to a specific schedule. This new closure directly affects the users of the exchange, invited to close their positions and withdraw their assets before the different deadlines set by the platform. This succession of announcements marks a new phase for several industry players.

Bitget received two industry awards during its first appearance at Wiki Finance Expo Hong Kong 2026. The recognition comes as the exchange expands its CFD and multi-asset trading ecosystem beyond conventional crypto markets. For Bitget, the awards support a wider message: the next exchange model will connect digital assets, stocks, commodities, forex and indices inside one capital environment.

The U.S. House of Representatives has taken a new step in regulating investments made by lawmakers. Representatives passed a bill that now prohibits members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying publicly traded stocks, while allowing them to keep and then sell stocks they already own. This decision opens a new debate on conflict of interest prevention before the Senate examines the bill.

Bitget’s Reality rTokens recorded up to 58% lower simulated slippage than competing tokenized equity products on $50,000 orders, according to a CryptoRank study. The result places execution quality at the centre of the tokenized stock race. Offering blockchain-based exposure is no longer enough. Platforms must also prove that traders can enter or exit larger positions without moving the price sharply.

The crypto derivatives platform BitMEX faces a class action lawsuit for 622.66 bitcoins, filed on July 24, 2026, before the federal court in New York. The plaintiffs accuse the exchange of orchestrating fraudulent liquidations to seize their clients' bitcoins. This legal action coincides with the very day BitMEX announces the end of eleven years of operation.

Bitget has registered as a Financial Services Provider in New Zealand, adding another jurisdiction to its international compliance framework. The registration covers services ranging from foreign exchange and money transfers to custody and portfolio management. It also supports Bitget’s wider ambition to connect crypto, tokenized assets and traditional markets through its Universal Exchange model.

Stablecoins continue to gain ground in digital uses, far beyond the traditional crypto ecosystem. Now, Samsung intends to give them a place at the heart of its Wallet application, presented as a future everyday wallet. This evolution marks a new stage in the strategy of the Korean group, which wants to bring together payments, rewards, and digital assets within a single interface. The announcement was made during Galaxy Unpacked and confirms the growing interest of major technology companies in stablecoins.

Bitcoin miners could sign the equivalent of 150 billion dollars in contracts thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence. According to Bernstein, the global shortage of electricity and data centers is pushing AI giants to seek partners capable of quickly providing computing power. The infrastructures built for bitcoin are thus becoming strategic assets far beyond crypto.

The rapid advances of autonomous agents are reigniting the debate over the infrastructures that will support tomorrow's digital exchanges. In this context, Franklin Templeton believes that AI could transform the way payments and transactions are made. The asset manager considers that crypto will occupy a central place in this evolution thanks to blockchain networks. This analysis is based on the rise of agents able to act alone, make payments, and execute complex tasks after authorization from their user.

The euphoria around SpaceX gave way to a violent disillusionment. In a few weeks, the SPCX stock went from the status of the largest IPO in history to a correction that erased hundreds of billions of dollars in valuation. This drop not only affects shareholders. It also cuts Elon Musk's fortune and revives questions about the valuations of tech giants, several of which have made bitcoin a strategic asset on their balance sheets.

Gold rebounds after a 26% drop. Fund managers consider it undervalued for the first time since March 2023. Complete analysis.

The European Union takes a new step in its offensive against Russia. Member states have approved a new set of sanctions directly targeting crypto and Web3 services, previously considered alternatives to traditional banking restrictions. By tightening access to these digital infrastructures, Brussels aims to reduce opportunities to circumvent economic sanctions imposed on Moscow. A decision that marks a turning point in the use of financial diplomacy against cryptos.

Small holders abandon XRP, whales buy without hesitation. This unprecedented divide within the Ripple ecosystem reveals a massive token transfer between investors with opposite strategies. On-chain data shows that modest wallets capitulate under the effect of volatility, while the largest fortunes methodically strengthen their positions. This shift occurs as XRP has rebounded over 8% in five weeks and regained the $1.16 level. Such a signal could say much more about the market dynamics than just the price evolution.

Bitget has launched what it calls the first TradFi Quanto Perpetual Futures product, allowing traders to access non-USD stocks using USDT without currency conversion. The first contract tracks Hong Kong-listed AI company MiniMax. For Bitget, this is not just another derivatives launch. It is a sharper step toward blending crypto infrastructure with traditional financial markets.

The Web3 sleep-tracking app has scrapped its original plan: a marketplace where users would have sold their biometric data to researchers. What replaced it is quieter and more technical. Sleepagotchi keeps no health data on its servers. Statistics are sent to the AI anonymously, processed, returned, then dropped. The project, which claims $6.5 million raised, has made that pipeline its central argument, and it lands in a sector that has spent a decade doing the exact opposite.

Europe concentrates more than two-thirds of block production on Solana, according to data released by Glassnode on July 22, 2026. Frankfurt dominates this geography and shows latency significantly lower than that of the US East Coast. Does this operational lead indicate a lasting regional dependency?

Bitget has moved into the top tier of TradFi-linked crypto trading after generating nearly $70 billion in TradFi perpetual volume in Q2 2026. The TokenInsight report shows a clear shift: tokenized stocks, commodities and real-world assets are no longer side experiments for exchanges. They are becoming a serious battleground for liquidity, market share and product depth.

Ethereum reserves on exchange platforms continue to shrink, while an increasing portion of the supply remains locked in staking. This dual dynamic progressively tightens the liquidity available in the market and strengthens the scenario of a supply squeeze, a supply shock likely to impact price formation. While ETH tries to maintain around $1,900, on-chain data reveals a fundamental evolution that could redefine the balance between buyers and sellers in the coming weeks.

The digital asset market continues to mature with the arrival of new tools intended for institutional investors. In this context, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Pantera Capital unveil a benchmark index that favors projects generating real economic activity rather than the popularity of cryptocurrencies. This new approach aims to offer an analytical framework closer to the standards of traditional financial markets. It is also distinguished by a striking choice: the exclusion of bitcoin, whose operation does not meet the criteria retained by the two companies.

Bitcoin: The supply held by long-term investors has just reached a record of 16.64 million BTC. Full analysis!

Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat, believes that AI-related capital is shifting towards Ethereum rather than memory chip manufacturers. Over one month, ETH gained 24% while the Roundhill Memory ETF, or DRAM, fell by 38%.

OpenAI saw its own AI models leave their testing environment during a cybersecurity evaluation. Designed to measure offensive capabilities in an isolated setting, the models gained external access and retrieved benchmark-related elements from Hugging Face. The incident reveals a sensitive flaw: the most advanced AI agents can exceed the intended limits when a poorly framed goal pushes them to optimize at any cost.

The United States thought they finally had the text capable of providing a regulatory framework for the crypto market. It is not the case. Indeed, the CLARITY Act is stuck in a political confrontation that now goes beyond financial oversight issues. The debate has shifted to ethical rules governing political officials holding cryptos, with Donald Trump at the center of discussions. His latest compromise attempt was not enough to unblock the file, further delaying the adoption of a reform eagerly awaited by the industry.

The bet on bitcoin as a treasury asset turns into a nightmare for some listed companies. In London, the liquidation of Satsuma Technology marks a turning point for this model which had attracted markets in recent months. After raising hundreds of millions of dollars to accumulate BTC, several companies now see their valuations collapse, failing to maintain the stock premium that justified their strategy. This symbolic bankruptcy raises an essential question: have companies holding bitcoin in their treasury reached their limits?

Grayscale wants to launch a Worldcoin ETF, but the token has already crashed 97 %. Is this a bold move or a costly mistake waiting to happen ?

The White House has approved an ethics component of the CLARITY Act and sent the text to Republican senators, removing the last major obstacle before a floor vote. Donald Trump personally gave his approval, rekindling hopes of adoption before the Senate's summer recess.

The debate around the digital assets market intensifies once again in the US Senate. While legislators continue discussions on the CLARITY Act, negotiations remain marked by several sensitive points, including investor protection and ethical issues. Behind this text, considered one of the most important legislative projects for the cryptocurrency industry, Democrats and Republicans are still trying to find common ground. The latest closed-door exchanges nevertheless illustrate divergences that could still influence its adoption.
