Bitcoin is finally no longer just a passive asset
Previously, to use BTC in DeFi, you had to make compromises: wrapped tokens, trust in bridges, and hacking risks. It was a necessary measure, not a solution.
Babylon changes that. No hard forks, no trust in third parties—just native mechanics at the script level.
Your BTC is locked by an embedded script directly in the network. The keys remain with you. Validators can’t cheat—if they sign two conflicting blocks, EOTS (extractable one-time signatures) will instantly reveal their private key on the Bitcoin blockchain. The system automatically confiscates the collateral. Cheating becomes economically unprofitable.
This isn’t just technology. It’s a new level of security for all of Web3.
Are you ready to stake BTC via Babylon?

Chainlink topped up its reserves with 706,809 LINK in July—about $5.7 million
The company’s total reserves now stand at 5,210,976 LINK. The reserve is replenished using fees from institutions and dApps—all revenue is automatically converted into LINK.
Chainlink does not withdraw tokens from the reserve and does not plan to do so in the coming years. The accumulation pace is accelerating: by the end of 2025, inflows were 80–90 thousand LINK per week.

@CZ supported memecoins and explained why he’s selling them
He said he feels neutral about all memes, and is even ready to buy or sell a couple in the next few weeks to test some ideas. The main thing is that the strongest wins.
He also clarified the situation with selling the tokens that are sent to him or to an exchange. Giggle Academy simply converts donations into BNB at the end of the month—using that money to pay for free education.
According to him, if you send tokens to someone without prior agreement, don’t expect them to be burned. And if it’s a donation, be prepared for them to be spent on the cause.

WBTC on Aave V3 on Arbitrum continues to grow
The WBTC volume in the pool stays at around 2.88K–2.91K, with no sudden spikes. This points to steady interest rather than a one-off surge.
Nearly a quarter of all Arbitrum liquidity ($700M) is currently in WBTC, and the deposit rate is minimal—0.05%. Users are bringing BTC onto the network, where it becomes a key asset for borrowing and liquidity.

CLARITY Act is ready. Voting is being postponed
Scott Bessent said the bill is fully ready for a vote. The House of Representatives passed it more than a year ago, and the Senate has already finished its work on the text, but a vote still hasn’t taken place.
He warned: if the law isn’t adopted, crypto companies will start leaving the country. And he directly pointed to Democrats—according to him, they are the ones dragging out the decision.

Arthur Hayes: The Fed has given the green light to buy depressed altcoins.
The Fed confirmed it will continue supporting reserves and is ready to purchase government debt for liquidity. Hayes calls this a form of hidden easing of policy.
His idea is simple: there is enough money, so there won’t be a sharp tightening. That means it’s worth looking at altcoins that have fallen significantly, but that have real products and users behind them.

Aave stops operating on six blockchains, including Aptos and zkSync
The protocol shuts down its deployments on Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos due to low profitability. Each of these networks generates less than $5,000 per quarter, and some bring in under $1,000. For comparison, Ethereum mainnet generates over $142 million per year.
Deposits of $98.1 million and loans of $15.6 million are in the line of fire—amounting to less than 1% of Aave’s total assets of $14 billion.
Existing positions will not be forcibly closed. The markets will be frozen for new deposits and loans, and the borrowing rate will be raised to 5%, making it unprofitable to hold positions.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov called it a planned optimization, not an assessment of the quality of the blockchains.

🇺🇸 SEC Chapter backs the CLARITY Act
Paul Atkins said he is ready to help Congress advance the bill, including providing technical support. In his view, America should match the energy of innovators—with regulation worthy of it.
This week, Republicans hope to secure bipartisan support to pass the law before the August recess. Last week, the bill removed a key ethical conflict: officials and their families were banned from issuing or promoting cryptocurrencies.
If the CLARITY Act passes, it will establish a complete regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto market.

Sberbank launched its ruble on Ethereum.
The token is already live.
Users can transfer tokens and make transactions without gas. The contract administration can manage issuance, burn tokens from any address, and add wallets to a blacklist. If you’re on the list, you won’t be able to interact with the token. Even sending it to your address won’t be possible.
An interesting point: the wallet that created the contract received ETH as a commission from an address that, 53 days ago, transferred about 84 ETH to a wallet actively interacting with exchanges that hold MiCA licenses.
The main question: how quickly will the wallets that start working with this token end up on the AML providers’ blacklists?

🚨 Zcash has launched the Ironwood update on the main network.
The upgrade is a response to a recent scandal: an Orchard pool reportedly found a vulnerability that had existed since 2022. Theoretically, it could have allowed for the creation of an unlimited number of fake ZEC with no trace.
What Ironwood includes:
🔸 A new Ironwood private pool with formal verification.
🔸 Full “sealing” of the old Orchard pool—no more deposits are allowed into it.
🔸 A mechanism to verify the total number of coins in the pool.
Users of the old Orchard and Sapling pools need to transfer their funds to the new Ironwood pool. The team stresses that there should be no issues with verification and urges everyone to switch.
Do you think this will restore trust in Zcash after what happened? 🫠

Morgan Stanley launches spot ETFs on Ethereum and Solana. Today on NYSE Arca, trading began for the Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust (MSSE) and Morgan Stanley Solana Trust (MSOL).
The combined fee for both funds is 0.14%. These are among the lowest rates in the market. In addition, the funds will generate extra income through staking: up to 80% ETH and up to 100% SOL. Around 95% of staking rewards will be returned to investors. Morgan Stanley does not keep any staking fee for itself.
This is a logical continuation of the success of their Bitcoin fund (MSBT), which attracted more than $430 million. Now Morgan Stanley has an ETF for three major cryptocurrencies—BTC, ETH, and SOL—available through regular brokerage accounts.
Do you think this is the start of a new wave of institutional money into crypto, or just another ETF?

The XRP Ledger encountered problems after an update
After the release of the new xrpld v3.2.0 version, developers found several bugs. Some nodes started to lag, while others began to lose synchronization with the main network.
Some operators have already rolled back to the older v3.1.3 version to restore operation. There are reports from Windows 10 users—their nodes hang at the connection stage, even though the connection to peers is stable.
At the same time, the vote on the fixCleanup3_2_0 upgrade is almost complete—30 out of 35 validators support the changes. Activation is scheduled for July 29. But if you haven’t upgraded to version 3.2.0 yet, there’s a chance you’ll be left behind.

Apple is once again the most valuable company in the world, overtaking Nvidia.
Its market capitalization has reached approximately $4.92 trillion. Over the year, Apple’s shares rose by 22%, helped by the company’s more restrained approach to spending on AI. Investors see this as an advantage rather than a lag.
In fact, Apple surpassed Nvidia amid a broader shift of capital away from companies heavily investing in AI infrastructure toward more stable technology giants.

🚀 The first former trillionaire in history… but there’s a catch! 😂
Remember the famous tweet where analysts predicted Elon Musk would become the world’s first trillionaire thanks to SpaceX’s colossal success? The billionaire’s response, as usual, deserves its own spot in the internet-trolling hall of fame.
Musk briefly clarified: In $DOGE
For years, journalists have been making serious economic forecasts, and Elon has once again proved that a doge-themed meme coin with a Shiba Inu in it holds a special place in his heart—and in his portfolio. By the way, every time he jokes about this on social media, the coin’s price instantly reacts with a rapid surge.
By the way, irony of fate: the analysts’ predictions came true after all! In the summer of 2026, Elon Musk officially crossed the historic milestone and became the world’s first dollar trillionaire. Sure, it was the tech giants SpaceX and Tesla that brought him the fortune—not memes. But who knows, maybe his next goal is to become a quadrillionaire in DOGE? 🐕🛰️

🚨 Error at $360,000: The Power of a Single Cup of Coffee!
Many people wait for the “perfect moment” to enter the market, while others get rich with nothing but ordinary discipline.
Let’s remove the emotions and look at dry numbers. What would happen if, instead of buying a cup of coffee, you invested just $10 every day for the last 10 years?
Over 10 years, you would have set aside $36,560 from your pocket.
And here’s what that money would turn into today:
📈 Gold — $84,657
👑 Bitcoin — $397,832
What’s the secret?
It’s a DCA averaging strategy. You don’t try to guess the bottom—you just buy the asset, in rain and in sunshine. Over the long run, it completely wipes out any market dips. Time ALWAYS beats timing.

Conspiracy theorists on platform X have already begun putting forward a new theory in connection with the closure of the BitMEX exchange.
According to them, serious issues at major crypto exchanges coincided with the end of the bearish market and the start of a new BTC growth cycle.
Examples include:
Mt.Gox (2014) +11,860%
BitGrail (2018) +2044%
FTX (2022) +687%
Now they expect this scenario to repeat, with a BTC target around ~$180,000+
