The SEC launched on July 1, 2026 a 60-day public consultation on its regulatory framework applicable to new ETFs, notably those exposed to crypto. The US ETF market jumped from 4,000 to 12,000 billion dollars between 2019 and 2025, largely driven by the automatic activation procedure that the SEC is now seeking to rethink. 

A few days before July 1, 2026, the European Union has granted only 230 licenses under the MiCA regulation, leaving more than 80% of crypto actors without authorization. Spain has just closed the door to any extension of the transitional period. Will this countdown reshape the map of the European crypto market?

Binance has officially withdrawn its MiCA license application submitted to the Greek financial regulator, the HCMC, a week after Reuters mentioned a probable rejection. The platform now announces its intention to obtain authorization in another European Union member state, without specifying the name.

A Japanese corporate pension fund covering around 1,200 SMEs plans to allocate 1% of its assets to cryptos during fiscal year 2026, according to Nikkei.

AI now amplifies the phenomenon: distribution channels multiply, targeting becomes more precise.

Despite a legal ban in force since 2021, crypto flows in Nepal briefly exceeded 13% of GDP that same year. In a report published on June 10, 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sounds the alarm and asks the Kathmandu authorities to establish a regulatory framework compliant with international standards. How will the authorities manage this fait accompli.

The US Treasury confirmed on Friday the seizure of about one billion dollars in cryptos linked to Iranian entities, some holders still unaware today that their wallets are empty.

Bitcoin just dropped out of the top 10 largest global assets. While AI and semiconductors soar, the crypto market goes through a new turbulence zone. We explain everything!

More than 207 billion SHIB have left the exchange platforms in 24 hours, according to CryptoQuant data. This movement comes as the token price remains stuck below $0.0000054, in a market under strong selling pressure. Does this decoupling between on-chain activity and price evolution signal a reversal?

Artificial intelligence no longer just responds, writes, or analyzes. It also starts to pay. And in this new economy driven by autonomous agents, crypto establishes itself as an almost natural infrastructure. According to Keyrock, these agents settled over 73 million dollars on 176 million transactions between May 2025 and April 2026. A signal still discreet, but impossible to ignore.

The price of the crypto SOL collapsed by 33% in the first quarter of 2026. Yet, behind this brutal decline, the Solana network has never been so active. How to explain this paradox?

Tom Lee’s Ethereum bet is passing through a zone of strong turbulence. BitMine now shows nearly $7.35 billion in unrealized losses on its ETH wallet, while the crypto market increasingly doubts a quick rebound.

The crypto market is recovering, but not all projects benefit from the return of capital. This week, NEAR Protocol emerges as one of the big winners: +28% in 24 hours, +45% over seven days.

The crypto market has just crossed a symbolic milestone. For the first time, Hyperliquid surpassed Solana in fully diluted valuation (FDV), an indicator increasingly scrutinized by institutional investors. Behind this duel of numbers lies a much deeper transformation: the emergence of "revenue chains," capable of generating massive financial flows through trading and on-chain finance.

Crypto markets have just undergone a sharp return of risk aversion. In one week, more than one billion dollars have left investment funds linked to bitcoin and ether, as tensions around Iran and rising U.S. inflation shake investors again. Is it a temporary pause or the start of a deeper reversal? 

Ethereum is under unusual pressure, and Tom Lee points to a very concrete culprit: oil. For the co-founder of Fundstrat, the crude surge clouds risk appetite, strengthens inflation fears, and directly weighs on ETH.

Poland has just adopted its crypto law to comply with the European MiCA regulation. However, behind this compliance lies an explosive political battle, fueled by the Zondacrypto scandal and growing concerns about investor security.

The Bank of England is considering a comprehensive review of its regulatory framework on sterling stablecoins. Under pressure from the private sector, the institution is reconsidering rules deemed too restrictive, and potentially fatal for the UK's competitiveness against the United States and Europe.

Bitcoin returns to a dangerous zone. After several weeks of rebound, CryptoQuant estimates that the market could flip if the current resistance holds strong. The key point is around the 200-day moving average, near 82,400 dollars. This level had already served as a ceiling during the 2022 bear market.

Crypto investors are no longer staying inside one market. Bitget’s 2026 User Asset Allocation Report shows a clear shift: retail traders still hold crypto, but many now add equities, commodities, and AI tools to build broader portfolios.

Bitget is pushing deeper into tokenized private-market access with preOPAI, a Solana-based product tied to OpenAI’s potential future public listing.
