📈 1. Bitcoin & ETH reached new peaks, then corrected
• Bitcoin reached $123.2k this week before a slight correction, currently maintaining around $117–118k.
• Ethereum rose to $3,100+, mainly thanks to the capital inflow into ETFs and net buying from the treasury.
🏛️ 2. "Crypto Week" in the US shows signs of disarray
• The "Crypto Week" in the US House of Representatives was stalled as the majority of lawmakers voted to postpone proceeding with the bills: including the GENIUS Act (stablecoin), Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC Act.
• Previously, the House rejected the process for these bills.
• However, President Trump remains very optimistic and is meeting with lawmakers regarding the legislation.
🏦 3. Standardization of stablecoins and Big Bank gets involved
• Bank of America assesses that sectors such as "stablecoins, payment development, asset tokenization (tokenized deposits)" will benefit from the introduction of the GENIUS Act.
• Standard Chartered officially launched spot crypto trading (BTC/ETH) for institutional clients, starting from July 15, 2025.
🌍 4. Strict oversight from the EU
• The new EU AMLA agency lists crypto as the biggest threat to money laundering; requires the implementation of oversight and transparency standards for crypto service providers across the bloc. From 2028, about 40 major organizations will be under direct supervision.
🧠 5. Market analysis & potential cryptocurrencies
• Some altcoins under $1 are attracting attention from the community and numerous investment funds due to small but potentially significant price increase opportunities.
• Large capital inflow from Bitcoin ETFs (about $3 billion just last week) and corporate investors continue to pour heavily into BTC & ETH.
🔒 6. USD Stablecoin & CBDC
• Trump announced that the administration will ban the issuance of CBDCs (central bank digital currency).
• The GENIUS Act – the stablecoin legislation – was passed by the Senate on June 17, 2025, but is being delayed in the House.
