コインがさらに静かな押し戻しを経験する中、XRP価格の予測に注目が集まっています。トークンは過去1日で約2%下落しましたが、売り手が完全に主導権を握ったわけではありません。現時点では、パニックというよりコーヒーブレイクのように見えます。
最新のXRPレジャーサーバーのアップグレード v3.2.0 が、重要なバリデーターの閾値を超えました。デフォルトのユニーク・ノード・リストに含まれる35のバリデーターのうち31が、新バージョンを稼働させています。これは、安定したネットワークのコンセンサスに必要な80%水準を十分に上回ります。
XRPレジャーのアップグレードが主要なマイルストーンを通過

The SEC has formally placed three crypto rulemaking items on its 2026 regulatory agenda, according to the Agency Rule List, covering the offer and sale of crypto assets, broker-dealer financial responsibility rules, and Exchange Act amendments for crypto trading on alternative venues.
The moves signal a Commission that is building a structured exemptive regime in parallel with Congress, rather than waiting for legislation to force its hand.

That distinction matters. The CLARITY Act remains unsigned as of early July. The SEC’s decision to queue its own rulemakings now, compresses the timeline for market participants who assumed the regulatory overhaul would arrive via statute first.
Three Items, Three Distinct Market Implications
The first item addresses how crypto assets are offered and sold, and explicitly contemplates certain exemptions and safe harbor provisions. The SEC has already proposed an innovation exemption allowing firms to issue and trade tokenized securities, specifically tokenized U.S. stocks, and that guidance is likely to fall under this rulemaking bucket.
Chair Paul Atkins has framed the broader agenda as embracing innovation, bringing more products onshore, and providing clarity regarding tokenized securities.
For token issuers currently navigating registration ambiguity, a codified safe harbor is the most commercially significant item on the agenda.
It determines whether a project can sell tokens to U.S. retail participants at all, and under what disclosure conditions. The specifics, thresholds, timelines, and the definition of sufficiently decentralized governance remain unresolved, which is precisely why the rulemaking notice is consequential.

The second item targets broker-dealer financial responsibility rules: specifically, Rules 15c3-1 (net capital), 15c3-3 (customer protection), 17a-3, and 17a-4 (books and records), with amendments proposed to address how these apply to crypto assets.
The SEC had previously outlined conditions allowing certain DeFi platforms to operate without registering as broker-dealers. The coming rulemaking could codify those conditions or tighten them, a distinction that will determine whether front-end interface providers and aggregators face full registration burdens or a narrower compliance path.
The third item is a set of Exchange Act amendments covering crypto trading on ATSs and national securities exchanges. This is the market structure piece, the rules governing how venues operate, what disclosures they owe, and how order flow in crypto-asset securities is treated relative to traditional equities.
An ATS operating in crypto currently sits in a compliance gray zone; amended Exchange Act rules would clarify whether existing ATS registration frameworks apply as-is or require a parallel crypto-specific track.
Atkins’ Framing and the Political Context
Chair Atkins, according to the primary source, highlighted the Commission’s effort to embrace innovation, bring more products onshore, create clear rules for capital raising within the crypto ecosystem, and provide clarity regarding tokenized securities, framing all three items as part of delivering on President Trump’s goal to make the U.S. the world’s crypto capital.
That framing is politically deliberate: it ties the SEC’s rulemaking pace directly to an executive mandate, which insulates the agenda from internal resistance and signals to institutional market participants that the direction is durable.
President Trump, at the official kickoff of Trump accounts, stated he was a big fan of crypto and suggested Bitcoin could eventually be included in those accounts.
The political tailwind behind the crypto regulation overhaul is not ambiguous, but political will and regulatory execution are separate variables, and the SEC’s agenda items are proposals, not final rules.

エリ・ベン＝サッソン氏は、Zcashの創設者であり、Ethereumのレイヤー2スケーリングソリューションであるStarknetの背後にある企業StarkWareのCEOです。同氏はビットコインの2,100万枚の供給上限について「筋が通らない」と公に主張しました。さらに、代わりにネットワークが年間の発行率に対するハードな上限を採用することを提案しています。
ベン＝サッソン氏の中心的な主張は「鍵の喪失」にあります。プライベートキーは時間の経過とともに永久に失われるため、それらの鍵に紐づいたコインは台帳上に残り続けるものの、実用上の流通から外れてしまい、利用可能な供給量は不明で、かつ下向きに推移することになります。同氏の提案する解決策は、固定の総コイン上限を、固定のインフレ率上限に置き換えることです。具体的な数値としては年4%を挙げており、「人類の人口増加に対する合理的な上限」だと述べています。

XRPニュース：XRPは約1.07ドルで取引されており、過去24時間で約3%下落していますが、それでも週次では6〜7%の上昇を維持しており、より広い上昇トレンドは保たれています。
今回の取引で残る問い：円主導の需要が日本から次の一段をもたらすのか、それともこの調整はより深い下落の前の“足踏み”にすぎないのか？ヘッジファンドは2007年以来の円に対する最も弱気な見方へと転じており、CFTCの報告データによれば6月30日時点で売りポジションは約138,000コントラクトにまで膨らんでいます。
それはフットノートではなく、歴史的に日本の個人投資家をハードアセットや暗号資産へ向かわせてきた種類の構造的なFXの歪み（ディスロケーション）です。ビットコインは6万ドル台半ばで推移しており、前日比は約0.6%下落ですが、週間では6%以上上昇しています。マクロ圧力を吸収しているものの、その圧力は韓国株にとってははるかに厳しく、コスピは直近の高値からおよそ20%下落しています。

American Bitcoin Corp. has surpassed 8,000 BTC, worth $502 million at current prices. Eric Trump announced the milestone on X, saying the crypto company will keep stacking Bitcoin. That stash now places American Bitcoin among the world’s largest corporate holders, moving ahead of several well-known crypto firms.
Corporate buyers keep scooping up coins even as traders wait for Bitcoin to pick a direction. Wall Street may love earnings season, but Bitcoin seems more interested in balance sheets.

The Trump family’s linked company’s strategy stands out because it mines Bitcoin while steadily adding to its treasury. It also reported a 52% mining margin in the first quarter and maintained lean operating costs. While many public miners sold Bitcoin after the halving to cover expenses, American Bitcoin kept filling the vault instead.
Still, buying headlines alone does not guarantee higher prices. Bitcoin has struggled to build momentum, leaving traders caught between steady corporate demand and cautious market sentiment. For now, accumulation offers support, but the chart still needs to prove it can carry the next leg higher.

Can Bitcoin Price Break $65,000 with the Help of Trump, The Crypto President?
Bitcoin has settled into a tighter range, trading between roughly $62,800 and $63,200 over the past day. Its market value stands near $1.26 trillion, with just over 20 million BTC in circulation. For now, traders seem happy to watch instead of chase. Even Bitcoin deserves a coffee break sometimes.
The bigger picture still favors caution after Bitcoin confirmed a breakdown from its multi month symmetrical triangle. Price briefly slipped below $60,000 before snapping back, triggering heavy liquidations that mostly wiped out leveraged longs. That flush cleared out crowded positions, but it did not erase the technical damage.
Now, the $60,000 to $61,000 area remains the first line of defense. Meanwhile, the mid $60,000 region has flipped into resistance after acting as support for weeks. Buyers have shown up where it matters, yet they still need enough momentum to push through overhead selling.

If Bitcoin climbs back above $65,000 with strong volume, short covering could fuel another rally. Otherwise, a sideways stretch between $61,000 and $65,000 remains the most likely path. However, a weekly close below $60,000 would strengthen the bearish case and shift attention toward the $57,000 to $58,000 zone.
Mining difficulty fell by about 10% in early June, marking its second notable drop this year. At the same time, traders continue watching large institutional wallet movements, including a transfer of about 2,700 BTC linked to BlackRock. Those flows may offer clues, but price still gets the final vote. Still, Trump and his influence on crypto could pump Bitcoin at any second.

Bitcoin Hyper Eyes Early-Stage Entry While BTC Works Through Resistance
Traders positioned in spot BTC near $63,000 are looking at a ceiling, not a clear runway. The triangle breakdown means any push toward previous highs above $120,000 requires a full technical reset first, and that takes time. That gap between the current price structure and upside potential is exactly where early-stage infrastructure plays tend to attract attention.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is positioning as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine integration with sub-Solana latency on top of Bitcoin’s security layer. The presale has raised $33 million at a current price of $0.0136, with staking already live.

Hacks have always been part of crypto, but in 2026, it does look like we are noticing more and more of them, especially on custodial platforms. This year alone there has been hundreds of millions of dollars drained from exchanges, bridges, and protocols that hold user funds in centralized wallets.
As crypto news “scream” about the latest hacks, a quieter, more resilient model continues to operate without making the news: non-custodial swaps.
GhostSwap is a non-custodial crypto exchange where funds are never in a shared pool waiting to be drained. Instead, assets route directly from the user’s wallet to the destination address, which drastically reduces the attack surface compared to traditional custodial platforms.
Curious to understand what this actually means? Bear with us, please.
The 2026 Custodial Hack Wave
The numbers regarding crypto hacks this year are worrying, to say the least. In the first four months of 2026 alone, custodial platforms lost over $670 million to hacks and exploits. Here are some of the most biggest incidents:
KelpDAO suffered a $292 million loss on April 18, 2026, through an infrastructure attack via the LayerZero bridge. The custodial bridge/L2 platform proved vulnerable to a single point of failure in its cross-chain infrastructure.
Drift Protocol (which is basically a custodial perpetuals exchange on Solana) lost $285 million on April 1, 2026, through a combination of smart contract vulnerability and compromised admin keys. The attack exposed the risks of relying on centralized administrative controls.
Grinex, a custodial CEX operating in Kyrgyzstan with Russian links, had $13.7 million in USDT drained from 54 wallets on April 15, 2026. The attack showed that even smaller exchanges with less visibility are prime targets.
Step Finance lost $28.9 million between January and February 2026 through compromised executive email accounts and private keys. That breach is particularly interesting since it shows how even human factors (such as email access, or credential management) remain critical vulnerabilities.
Truebit Protocol suffered a $26.4 million exploit on January 9, 2026, through “zombie code” in its smart contracts; a reminder that legacy code can become a ticking time bomb.
ResolvLabs, a custodial stablecoin issuer, lost $25 million in March 2026 through an AWS KMS key management vulnerability. Even infrastructure giants like Amazon aren’t immune to configuration errors.
If a series of news about hundreds of millions in losses doesn’t make you think twice about keeping your assets on a custodial exchange, then honestly, what will?
This is where GhostSwap comes into play.
Why the Attack Surface Is Smaller with GhostSwap
GhostSwap’s non-custodial model doesn’t claim to be unhackable. To be completely honest, no system is in crypto. However, it drastically reduces the attack surface by eliminating several high-value targets that attackers typically go after.
In a custodial exchange, users deposit assets into exchange-controlled wallets. This creates large, tempting pools of customer funds. GhostSwap operates differently: funds move through the swap process and are delivered directly to the destination wallet rather than being stored as long-term customer balances.
No Accounts Means No Account Database to Breach
There’s no honey pot waiting to be drained.
Traditional exchanges maintain extensive databases of user accounts, login credentials, and often identity records. This creates multiple attack vectors: credential stuffing, password theft, and account takeovers.
GhostSwap’s no-account approach removes entire categories of risk. There is no user database to breach, no login system to compromise, and no credentials to steal.
Minimal Personal Data Reduces Exposure
Because GhostSwap doesn’t require routine account creation or standard KYC processes for most swaps, there is far less sensitive user information available to steal. The platform follows a data-minimization strategy, which collects only what’s necessary to complete a swap.
This means even if an attacker were to breach GhostSwap’s systems, there would be little valuable personal data to exfiltrate.
No Large Customer-Fund Pool to Drain
Perhaps the biggest and most significant difference is the absence of a centralized pool of customer assets. GhostSwap’s wallet-to-wallet swap model avoids maintaining a shared pool that could be drained in a single compromise.
When you compare this to custodial platforms, it’s pretty clear even to a newbie that a single successful attack can empty millions from a single wallet. GhostSwap’s model distributes risk across individual transactions, and eliminates the giant target.
The Refund-Address Safety Mechanism
A key operational safeguard in GhostSwap’s model is the refund address. During a swap, users provide both:
A destination address where they want to receive the output asset
A refund address where the original funds can be returned if the swap cannot be completed
This dual-address system provides a critical safety net. If a transaction encounters a problem (such as a routing issue, liquidity problem, or another failure condition) the refund address gives GhostSwap a predefined destination for returning funds when possible. This reduces the risk of assets becoming stranded during an incomplete swap and provides a clear recovery path.
It’s a simple but very effective mechanism. Rather than user funds remaining in limbo while support teams investigate, the refund address enables automated recovery. The asset has a defined path home.
GhostSwap Offers High-Standard Security
So, let’s conclude with this – Imagine waking up to check your portfolio, only to discover that the exchange where you kept your funds has been drained overnight. This happened to thousands of traders in 2026, so it’s not hypothetical.
When Drift Protocol lost $285 million on April 1, traders who had funds on the platform couldn’t access their assets for days. When KelpDAO lost $293 million just weeks later, many users watched their holdings vanish with no clear path to recovery.
Traders who use GhostSwap avoid this entire category of risk. Your funds move directly from your wallet to the swap route and land in your destination wallet; never held in a GhostSwap-controlled pool where they could be swept away in a single attack.
When you hear about the next custodial breach, and there will be a next one, you won’t have to panic about whether your funds were caught in the crossfire.
This peace of mind isn’t just theoretical anymore. In a year where over $670 million has been stolen from custodial platforms in the first four months alone, GhostSwap’s non-custodial model has proven its value by simply not appearing in the hack news.
Traders who value their assets and their sleep are increasingly turning to non-custodial swaps, not just for privacy, but for the security of knowing their funds are never held by the platform they’re trading on.
GhostSwap’s non-custodial model doesn’t eliminate all risk, but it does reduce the chance for the hack to happen. When there’s no honey pot, there’s less honey to steal.

The SEC has closed its enforcement investigation into ConsenSys over MetaMask Swaps and MetaMask Staking, with no fine and no admission of wrongdoing, a result that directly challenges the regulatory theory that non-custodial wallet interfaces constitute unregistered brokerage operations.
The dismissal removes the most immediate enforcement threat against the primary retail gateway into the Ethereum ecosystem and hands wallet developers a defensible precedent heading into what remains an unsettled legal landscape for DeFi regulation.
The SEC filed its original complaint in June 2024, alleging that ConsenSys had brokered transactions in crypto asset securities since at least October 2020 and collected transaction-based compensation through MetaMask’s integrated services.
I'm pleased to announce that Consensys and the SEC have agreed in principle that the securities enforcement case concerning MetaMask should be dismissed. Subject to the approval of the Commission, the SEC will file a stipulation with the court that effectively closes the case.…
— Joseph Lubin (@ethereumJoseph) February 27, 2025
The agency’s staking theory went further, targeting MetaMask’s routing integrations with Lido and Rocket Pool as unregistered securities offerings, a framing that, if upheld, would have forced wallet developers across the ecosystem to gut core functionality from non-custodial interfaces.
ConsenSys had pre-empted the suit with its own action against the SEC in April 2024, challenging the agency’s authority over Ethereum-related software and its attempted classification of Ethereum as a security.
The SEC separately closed its Ethereum 2.0 probe in June 2024, and a federal court dismissed ConsenSys’ Texas suit in September 2024, ruling the SEC’s parallel enforcement action had already reduced any credible prosecution threat. That sequence effectively narrowed the live dispute to the MetaMask case now resolved.

Joe Lubin Calls Dismissal a Win for Blockchain Software Developers
ConsenSys founder Joe Lubin announced the resolution, saying the company and the SEC had agreed in principle that the securities enforcement case concerning MetaMask should be dismissed. Lubin described the outcome as “a good step for blockchain software developers,” adding that ConsenSys had been “committed to fighting this suit until the bitter end.”

A ConsenSys official confirmed to Bloomberg that the SEC would not impose a fine. The clean exit matters: ConsenSys’ core legal argument – that wallet software should not be regulated as a traditional broker simply because it routes users to protocols, has now effectively prevailed without requiring a court ruling that could have cut either way.
Discover: The Best Crypto to Diversify Your Portfolio
Why the Outcome Matters Beyond ConsenSys and Metamask
MetaMask is not a peripheral product in the Ethereum stack. It is the dominant retail interface through which users reach DeFi protocols, NFT markets, liquid staking, and on-chain transactions, making the SEC’s original broker theory a structural threat to Ethereum’s entire user-access layer.
A ruling that swap routing or staking integrations inside a non-custodial wallet trigger broker-dealer registration requirements would have had cascading implications for every wallet developer offering comparable functionality. That scenario is now off the table, at least in this enforcement cycle.
The closure also fits the broader pattern of SEC crypto enforcement pullbacks under post-Gensler leadership, which has included dropped or paused actions against Gemini, Uniswap Labs, Robinhood Crypto, and OpenSea.
This month, the SEC has dropped its cases against Coinbase, Robinhood, and now ConsenSys company behind Metamask.
Maybe this panic selling won't last forever?
— dubzy (@dubzyxbt) February 28, 2025
A legislative push for formal crypto regulatory clarity is running in parallel, and the SEC’s retreat on ConsenSys reinforces the direction of travel.
Wallet developers and DeFi front ends now have a cleaner operating environment than they did six months ago – though the absence of a court ruling means the underlying legal questions on broker classification remain open for a future administration or enforcement wave to revisit.
For Ethereum specifically, regulatory clarity at the wallet layer feeds directly into the ecosystem’s mainstreaming trajectory. Institutional staking inflows into Ethereum have been building through 2025, and a MetaMask enforcement loss would have introduced friction at exactly the point where retail and institutional demand converge. That particular risk is now resolved.

Solana News: SOL closed Q2 2026 with $5.77 billion in tokenized asset spot volume, a quarterly all-time high confirmed by data analyst Sam Schubert on July 1, a figure that exceeds the entire $775 million generated across the second half of 2025 by more than seven times.
The result cements Solana’s position as the dominant settlement layer for on-chain equities and signals a structural shift in how institutional capital is moving on-chain through tokenization.

Solana News: Raydium Leads as On-Chain Volume Breaks Records Across June
Raydium emerged as the primary venue for tokenized equities on Solana throughout the quarter, with its own announcement on July 1 describing it as “the #1 venue for tokenized asset spot volume on Solana.”
The protocol’s concentrated liquidity pools host the majority of xStocks trading pairs, and the final billion in Raydium’s cumulative tokenized equity volume was added in a single month, a pace that directly shaped the quarter’s headline figure.
The quarter’s peak months were heavily weighted toward June. Solana processed $1.298 billion of the $1.324 billion in global weekly tokenized stock volume during the week of June 15–21, a 95% share. On June 24, daily tokenized equities trading hit a $644 million record, surpassing memecoins as a share of Solana spot volume for the first time.
Source: Blockworks
June alone generated over $2 billion in monthly tokenized stock volume, the highest figure ever recorded for any single month on any chain.
The final week of Q2 set a weekly all-time high of $1.42 billion before Schubert published the full quarterly tally. That weekly figure alone exceeds several prior monthly totals, illustrating how compressed the acceleration was into the quarter’s close.

Solana’s 97% RWA Market Share Reflects Structural, Not Cyclical, Dominance
The Solana Foundation’s May 2026 ecosystem roundup placed Solana’s share of cumulative on-chain tokenized equity spot trading volume at 97%, a figure that had been building for over a year before the Q2 breakout.
Data, noted Solana’s tokenized equity lead had held for 54 consecutive weeks. The chain’s sub-second finality and low per-transaction fees are the structural reasons liquidity has concentrated here rather than on Ethereum or competing L1S.
The broader RWA picture on Solana supports that reading. The May 2026 roundup also reported $2.8 billion-plus in total RWA value on-chain and $1.2 billion in RWA lending deposits, a context that explains why BlackRock deployed a $255 million institutional liquidity fund on Solana and Ondo holds $176 million in tokenized yield exposure on the network.
These are not speculative positions; they represent regulated capital seeking the execution quality that DeFi infrastructure on Solana now provides at scale.
Cross-chain monthly tokenized equity trading hit $5.3 billion in May 2026, up 44% from April per Crypto Briefing – and Solana accounted for the overwhelming majority of that figure.
The remaining chains are not closing the gap. As Solana continues to mature its on-chain governance and network infrastructure, the pipeline of new tokenized equities, SPYx, QQQx, NVDAx, and additional xStocks instruments points to further volume concentration rather than dispersion.

What Raydium Targets After the Q2 Record
0xINFRA, a member of Raydium’s leadership roster, framed Q2’s achievement as a foundation rather than an endpoint: “The focus for Q2 shifts from resilience to conversion: broadening LaunchLab distribution beyond concentrated partner channels, sustaining CLMM-led liquidity depth, and translating tokenized-asset share gains into repeatable monetization.”
0xINFRA said. The protocol views volume share as a prerequisite, not the goal; fee generation and sustainable liquidity depth are the next tests.
The regulatory backdrop matters here. Bitwise has argued that the passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act news would accelerate the tokenization wave and position Solana as one of the primary beneficiaries. That legislation remains pending, but the market is not waiting for it – $5.77 billion in Q2 on-chain volume happened before any such framework existed.
If CLARITY passes, the addressable market for tokenized stocks expands materially, and Raydium’s current infrastructure advantage compounds. Solana price forecasts for the remainder of 2026 increasingly treat this RWA momentum as a primary input rather than a secondary narrative.

今週はアルトコイン市場の回復が進行中で、Liquidchainが牽引し、ビットコインが$63,000の水準を上回る堅固なサポート確立を試みる中、主要なレイヤー1およびレイヤー2資産が2桁の上昇を記録しています。過去7日間で、イーサリアム、ソラナ、そしてHyperliquidはそれぞれ11%超の上昇を達成しており、確立されたネットワーク・インフラに対するリスク許容度の再燃を示しています。
このような資本流入の増加を背景に、クロスチェーン基盤（インフラ）プロジェクトに勢いが増しています。LiquidChain（LIQUID）のプレセールはこの流れを捉え、目標の$900,000に近づく中で$888,000を超える資金を調達しました。本プロジェクトは、ビットコイン、イーサリアム、ソラナのそれぞれにネイティブに対応しつつ、流動性と実行（エクスキューション）を統合するためのレイヤー3ネットワークの立ち上げを目指しています。
