@CZ "If your success depends on someone else—hire them or work for them"
A simple idea that hits the mark.
Behind this phrase lies a deep principle: taking control of your life and your career. CZ is not saying this for the first time—he has always emphasized that in crypto, nobody owes you anything, and you should rely only on yourself.
If you expect someone else to make you rich—you either pay them for it or work for them. In any case, you are not a free beneficiary.

SEC is preparing a safe harbor for crypto
The proposal could be presented as early as this month. It will protect tokenized securities and DeFi protocols from regulatory claims.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said: the goal is to make the US the crypto capital of the world.
The shift in course is obvious. Under Gensler, the SEC acted through the courts. Under Atkins, it wants to provide clear rules of the game. In essence, it’s legalizing tokenized assets and DeFi under the SEC’s wing. Without this, large money won’t enter the sector.
The key question is how broad the exceptions will be.

@Yi He о Europe, regulations, and Binance’s future
Binance co-CEO spoke about the exchange’s position in Europe.
She drew a parallel with Airbnb and Uber—global giants faced regulatory challenges, but came back stronger. Europe is a small but important part of Binance’s business, and the company is taking it seriously.
Trust with regulators is built through dialogue. That takes time. Yi He expects Binance and other crypto providers to become key stewards of the financial system—stronger than traditional institutions, thanks to technology and market forces.
The comparison to Airbnb and Uber isn’t accidental here either: they also went through intense pressure, but became part of the system. Binance is choosing the same strategy—long-term presence through dialogue with regulators. And yes, the phrase about being “stronger than TradFi” isn’t empty talk. The company truly invests in compliance and security.
And it made it clear: customers’ funds are protected by the SAFU insurance fund. This is a real mechanism that has been working since 2018.

Rumors of Binance’s cooperation with US authorities
The Information reports: The US Department of Justice warned prosecutors that Binance might reduce its cooperation on crypto cases. This involves a rejection of voluntary freezes and a requirement for MLAT in order to freeze accounts.
Binance officially denies it: "There were and will be no changes to our cooperation. On the contrary, we are looking for ways to strengthen our collaboration".
I tend to trust the official position. Binance has repeatedly proven that it is following the path of compliance — the $4.3 billion settlement in 2023 and independent monitoring are confirmation of that. Sudden moves in such a direction would be illogical.
I’ll keep an eye on developments.

After two weeks of daily sales, BlackRock bought Bitcoin worth $250 million in the last two days, according to Arkham.
The world’s largest asset manager doesn’t sell at the bottom — it buys when others panic.
This isn’t a bullish signal. It’s about strategy: institutions don’t exit, they re-enter.

Europe expands MiCA to tokenization and stablecoins
The European Commission extends MiCA rules to tokenized assets (RWAs) and stablecoin issuers from countries outside the EU.
Regulators see growth in the tokenized assets market ($31.7 billion) and want to create clear rules for it. Tether (USDT) and other issuers will face additional requirements. This may shift the liquidity balance on European exchanges.
Europe is choosing a “regulate so as not to lose” strategy. It is not a ban, but an attempt to establish predictable rules for institutions.
The question is whether stablecoin issuers will be able to adapt before the rules take effect. Whoever moves first will take the European market.

📊 June review from Binance Research: the market is slipping, but the structure is changing
A fresh report is out. I gathered the main points.
Total market capitalization fell 16.9% to $2.13T.
Bitcoin −20.5% (didn’t hold $83K).
Ethereum −21.5%.
The April rebound turned out to be technical rather than a reversal. $2.2B was pulled from Bitcoin ETFs—no institutional inflow materialized. Altcoin selling hit a 5-year high. This is a classic sign of retail cooling off.
Who fell less than others:
HYPE −10.1%
TRX −10.7%
SOL −10.8%
Stablecoins hold at $312B, RLUSD received a license in Japan.
RWA (real-world assets) — $31.7B, private credit in the top spot.
bStocks showed 0.12% accuracy during the close of traditional exchanges.
The volume of hacks in DeFi dropped by 89% — from $644M to $71M. TVL declined to $69.3B, but due to prices, not a loss of trust.
My take: the market is being cleaned up. Retail is exiting, while infrastructure remains. This isn’t the end of the cycle—it’s an accumulation phase. Whoever is ready to wait will take liquidity away from the panickers.

🚨 BNB Chain is betting on AI — and this could become one of the main directions for the ecosystem’s development in the coming years.
At the same time as BNB Smart Chain, a new L1 blockchain is being developed specifically for AI agents and algorithmic trading.
What we know:
Pre-confirmation of transactions — less than 50 ms.
More than 100,000 TPS.
No public mempool, which reduces the risks of front-running and MEV attacks.
The testnet is expected at the end of 2026, with the mainnet launch in early 2027.
If the trend of AI agents keeps gaining momentum, this kind of infrastructure could become an important part of the next stage of Web3 development.
Do you think AI will be the main driver of the next cycle, or is it still too early?

🔥 USDT burned on the Ethereum network: 5,000,000,000
This is one of the largest stablecoin burns in recent times.
Burning USDT reduces the total token supply in circulation, which theoretically creates deflationary pressure on the stablecoin and may positively impact the Ethereum ecosystem.
Such large burns typically happen when funds are withdrawn from exchanges or after major transactions by large players.
We’re watching the dynamics. Is this a one-time event, or the start of a trend to reduce supply?

👀 Important statement from CEO Binance @Richard Teng
Europe may lose a significant portion of crypto users, companies, and tax revenues if the implementation of MiCA turns out to be fragmented and inconsistent across EU countries.
According to Richard, regulation must be predictable and uniform; otherwise, business and capital will continue to move to more business-friendly jurisdictions.
MiCA is an important step for the industry, but only with the right and harmonized implementation can it deliver real benefits to Europe.
Do you think the EU will be able to create a truly competitive regulatory environment?
I’m looking forward to your thoughts in the comments 👇

Grayscale analysts: selling BTC by Strategy may help the market
Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (about $216 million) as part of a new monetization program. As a result, the company’s dollar reserves increased from $870 million to $2.55 billion, which will cover preferred dividend payments for approximately 17 months.
According to the head of Grayscale’s research department, Zak Pandl, strengthening Strategy’s financial resilience reduces risks for BTC and may help form a more stable price floor for bitcoin. The rise in the price of STRC preferred shares indicates that investors’ confidence in the company’s financial model is recovering.
The market reaction to the news was restrained: after a brief dip, BTC recovered above $64,000, suggesting that selling pressure was successfully absorbed.
Grayscale’s view differs from JPMorgan’s: the bank’s analysts warn that Strategy’s dual role as both a buyer and a seller of BTC could create additional uncertainty in the market.

VITALIK BUTERIN CONDUCTED AN EXPERIMENT: AI UNMASKED HIS ANONYMOUS TEXT
Vitalik Buterin decided to test how much artificial intelligence can threaten online privacy. He proposed finding a document he had published anonymously regarding Ethereum.
The contest winner was Franklin Van, head of Co-Invest. His team used AI to analyze 27 texts and identified a reuse of the EIP-7503 from December 2024.
Buterin tried to conceal his style by writing the text in Chinese, then translating it into English using Qwen 2.5 and manually editing it.
The AI was able to recognize not language-specific features, but the distinctive way of presenting mathematical and technical concepts. Even when the language and style change, unique thinking patterns remain recognizable to algorithms.

USDT RETURNS TO BITCOIN: RGB AND UTXO LAUNCH PRIVATE SETTLEMENTS ON Lightning
Tether announced the release of native USDT on the Bitcoin network using RGB protocol version 0.11.1. The commercial launch of the project is handled by UTEXO.
Now USDT can be stored in standard Bitcoin addresses and sent through the Lightning network. The RGB protocol applies Bitcoin’s UTXO model, enhancing transaction privacy by using new addresses for transfers.
Payments via Lightning are made outside the main chain, providing virtually instant settlement and minimizing the amount of data in the public blockchain.
The stablecoin USDT was first launched on the Bitcoin network in 2014 via the Omni protocol. This new release marks a return to the roots with a fundamentally different architecture.

🚨 URGENT: CLARITY ACT — DEADLINE MOVED TO AUGUST 7
The law was not signed by July 4, contrary to expectations from White House adviser Patrick Witt. Now the key date is August 7, the last working day of the Senate before the summer recess and the start of the election campaign.
🔥 What’s happening now:
Senate staff are working to reconcile versions of the bill from the Banking and Agriculture committees. Passage requires 60 votes, while Republicans have only 53 seats.
⚠️ Main obstacle:
An ethics conflict. Democrats are demanding that provisions be included to prohibit public officials from profiting from cryptocurrencies. Special attention is focused on Trump, whose crypto-business income in 2025 was ~$1.4 billion.
📉 Market estimates:
Polymarket assesses the chances of passage this year at 44%.
According to other data, the likelihood has dropped to 48%.
If the law is not passed by August 7, its prospects could seriously worsen due to attention shifting to the November elections.

Vitalik Buterin proposed a new concept to improve the privacy of Ethereum staking as part of the Lean Ethereum initiative.
The main idea is to reduce the amount of data in the consensus layer and ensure validator confidentiality through ZK-STARK proofs.
Key changes:
Validator state is reduced to two parameters: balance and key index
Validators publish daily ZK-STARK proofs of activity
Cryptographic identifiers change daily—linking a deposit to a withdrawal is impossible
The system anonymizes validators while preserving balance and history verification
Scalability to millions of validators without burdening the consensus
SSLE implementation— the block leader is unknown until the publication moment
This is part of the Lean Ethereum roadmap for the next 3–4 years.
