#CFTCCryptoSprint

The interim chairwoman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Caroline D. Pham, announced today that the CFTC will launch an initiative for the trading of spot cryptocurrency contracts listed on a CFTC-registered futures exchange (designated contract market or DCM). This is the first initiative of the CFTC in its cryptocurrency investment program to start implementing the recommendations of the report from the Presidential Working Group on Financial Markets. Interim Chairwoman Pham announced the CFTC's cryptocurrency investment program last week. [See CFTC press release no. 9104-25]

“Under the strong leadership and vision of President Trump, the CFTC is working tirelessly to enable the immediate trading of digital assets at the federal level, in coordination with the SEC's Crypto Project,” stated Interim Chairwoman Pham. “There is a clear and straightforward solution that the CFTC can implement now. The Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) currently requires that retail trading of leveraged, margined, or financed commodities be conducted on a DCM. Starting today, we invite all stakeholders to work with us to provide regulatory clarity on how to list spot cryptocurrency contracts on a DCM, using our current authority, as I have proposed since 2022. Together, we will make the United States the world capital of cryptocurrency.”

$ENA Ethena (ENA) is a decentralized stablecoin protocol that offers a synthetic dollar for use in DeFi and Web3. It employs a delta hedging strategy to ensure stability, scalability, and resistance to censorship. The protocol includes a governance token, ENA, with significant growth potential.

How is Ethena used?
Ethena (ENA) is a decentralized stablecoin protocol that offers a synthetic dollar called USDe, designed to be stable, scalable, and resistant to censorship. The ENA token is the governance token of the Ethena ecosystem and plays a crucial role in the governance and operational aspects of the protocol.

Governance and utility
Governance: ENA token holders can participate in the governance of the protocol, voting on key decisions such as risk management frameworks, the backing composition of USDe, and potential partnerships or integrations.
Utility: ENA is used in various incentive mechanisms within the platform, including rewards for staking and liquidity provision. Staking and rewards
Staking: Users can stake their synthetic USDe dollars to earn yields, which are usually much higher than those of traditional banking products.
Rewards: ENA token holders can earn rewards through staking and other mechanisms, incentivizing long-term participation in the Ethena ecosystem.
Delta Hedging and Stability
Delta Hedging: Ethena uses a Delta hedging strategy to manage the price volatility of Ethereum, ensuring the stability of USDe's value against the US dollar.
Stability: The Delta hedging strategy helps maintain the stability of USDe, making it a reliable digital currency solution.
Market and Funding
Market Capitalization: ENA has a significant market capitalization, with over 9% of its total supply in circulation.
Funding: Ethena secured an initial funding round of 6 million.

#ArbitrageTradingStrategy Arbitrage trading is a strategy aimed at exploiting price differences between different markets.
In theory, arbitrage should be impossible, as markets are efficient and all prices should reflect the current market value. However, small discrepancies still exist due to geography and technology; for example, delays can occur in information as price data is transmitted from one place to another.
In a pure arbitrage operation, a trader will find a currency, commodity, or stock with a different price on two different exchanges. They would buy at the lower price and sell at the higher price.
The concept is often compared to buying collectibles, such as art, sneakers, or antiques. People buy them in one place (in a store) and sell them directly in another (online markets) for a profit. The important thing is not the asset, but the ability to leverage demand for personal gain.
Example of arbitrage trading
Suppose company ABC is listed in the UK and Australia. On the London Stock Exchange, the price of its shares rises from £30.00 to £30.10, but on the Australian Stock Exchange, the price of its shares remains at £30.00.
A trader could buy on the LSE and immediately sell on the ASX, making a profit of 10 pence per share.

#BTCBreaksATH The crypto market is witnessing a notable change. Bitcoin (BTC) has just reached a new all-time high (ATH) in July 2025.

However, at the same time, Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) fell from 66% to 64.5%.

This decline is giving altcoin investors a reason to be optimistic. The total market capitalization of altcoins is now growing faster than that of Bitcoin.

Altcoin market capitalization is increasing: analysts predict altseason

According to data from TradingView, the market capitalization of altcoins (TOTAL2) has recovered nearly 10% since the beginning of July. It recently surpassed $1.2 trillion.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin's dominance has fallen from 66% to 64.5%, the most significant drop since May.

$BNB Binance Coin (BNB) shows modest gains amid a narrow trading range, a possible correction, and a potential rise.

The price of Binance Coin (BNB) has experienced a 1.2% increase in the last 24 hours, remaining stable within a narrow trading channel. Currently, BNB fluctuates between a support level of $668.45 and a resistance of $673.21 on the hourly chart. This narrow range indicates a consolidation period, during which traders are watching for a decisive movement. Given that most of the Daily Average True Range (ATR) has already been covered, the likelihood of significant price volatility in the short term appears limited.

On a longer time frame, BNB has recently bounced back from resistance near $674, suggesting that this level is a critical barrier for bulls. If the daily candle closes significantly below this resistance with a pronounced wick, a short-term correction towards the support area of $665 could occur. Conversely, a strong close above this resistance could pave the way for a new bullish momentum.

$BTC U.S. Democratic senators introduced the Accountability Act (S. 2058) in Congress, which proposes to sanction the government of Nayib Bukele and scrutinize the use of bitcoin (BTC) in El Salvador. This is based on accusations against the ruler and several of his executives for corruption, evasion of sanctions, and human rights violations.

The proposal, led by Chris Van Hollen, Tim Kaine, and Alex Padilla, demands a detailed report on the bitcoin purchases made by the Salvadoran government and, if approved, would order the end of international financial assistance to the country.

The bill, presented on June 12, 2025, would penalize Nayib Bukele, his vice president, and key ministers with measures such as blocking properties in the U.S., visa bans, and limitations on loans.

It would also trigger an investigation to determine whether the Bukele government has engaged in acts of corruption or schemes to violate constitutional rights in the U.S. through bitcoin transfers, allegedly in collusion with the Trump administration. This is despite both parties having sealed an anti-crime alliance.

#XSuperApp Elon Musk's X app will offer investment and trading in a push for the 'super app'

X users of Elon Musk will soon be able to make investments or transactions on the social media platform, according to the company's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, a move to support the billionaire owner's vision of creating an 'everything app,' reported the Financial Times on Thursday.

In an interview with the newspaper, Yaccarino said that the company was exploring the introduction of an X credit or debit card, which could arrive as soon as this year.

Musk, who closed a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter in April 2022 and later renamed it X, has indicated plans to model it as a 'super app,' similar to China's WeChat.

The social media platform did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

"By 2025, X will connect you in ways you never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok, and much more," Yaccarino wrote in a post last December.

Payment giant Visa and X partnered to offer direct payment solutions to the social network's customers, a person familiar with the matter said earlier this year.

A super app, or what Musk refers to as an 'everything app,' has been described as the Swiss Army knife of mobile applications, offering a set of services to users, such as messaging, social networking, payments, and e-commerce shopping.

Swing trading is a short-term investment strategy that seeks to take advantage of price fluctuations in financial markets, maintaining positions open for a period ranging from a few days to several weeks.

#SwingTradingStrategy

Swing traders seek to identify patterns and trends in price charts to enter and exit positions, aiming to profit from market movements.

How does swing trading work?

Trend identification:
Swing traders analyze price charts to identify bullish or bearish trends.

They use technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, trend lines, and support and resistance levels to confirm trends.

Entry and exit of positions:
They look for strategic entry and exit points within those trends, taking advantage of price movements within defined channels.

Risk management:
It is crucial to set stop-loss and take-profit orders to limit losses and secure gains, especially considering market volatility.

Duration of positions:
Swing trading operations usually last from a few days to several weeks, unlike day trading which is closed on the same day.

$BTC The Bitcoin futures premium falls to a three-month low despite strong BTC ETF inflows

Derivatives metrics are nearing pessimism even though the price of BTC is trading only 8% below its all-time high of $103,300. Cryptocurrency traders are known for their bad temper, especially those who trade with leveraged positions in futures, but there is something unusual about the current lack of optimism.

The weakness in Bitcoin derivatives may be attributed to a specific factor within the industry, or it could simply be related to fear of the problematic socioeconomic environment.

Under neutral conditions, Bitcoin monthly futures typically trade between 5% and 15% above spot markets to compensate for the longer settlement period. This indicator has remained below the neutral threshold since June 12, following a rejection at the $110,000 level.

$USDC The international exchange based in the U.S., Coinbase, announced a partnership with the U.S. clearinghouse, Nodal Clear, which will allow the integration of the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC) to operate as collateral in futures trading within the North American nation.

According to reports published today, the measure aims to expand the role of USDC in regulated markets, bringing it closer to the status of 'fiat equivalent'.

So far, only fiat currencies have been accepted to cover the margins required by clearinghouses. However, the CEO of Coinbase Derivatives, Boris Ilyevsky, confirmed that they are working with Nodal Clear to ensure that USDC can fulfill that role. The process aims to enable this possibility sometime in 2026, according to official information.

'Currently, only fiat meets the margin requirements established by the clearinghouse,' Ilyevsky told The Block. 'Our collaboration now envisions making USDC a fiat equivalent.'

Paul Cusenza, president and CEO of Nodal Clear, also expressed his support: 'The plans to integrate USDC as collateral reflect our commitment to innovation and responding to market needs. We look forward to working with our members and the CFTC to bring this vision to fruition.'

#GENIUSActPass Each bank will issue a stablecoin after the approval of the GENIUS Act: CTO of Alchemy

Guillaume Poncin from Alchemy predicts that the approval of the Genius Act will soon attract major financial institutions to the stablecoin business.

The U.S. Senate has approved the Genius Act, which brings the long-awaited regulatory clarity to stablecoins. With this advancement, major financial institutions are expected to launch their own stablecoins. Guillaume Poncin, Chief Technology Officer of Alchemy, gave an interview to crypto.news. Alchemy collaborates with Visa, Coinbase, Stripe, and Robinhood in the issuance of stablecoins.

So far, major banks have been waiting for clear regulations, a need that the new bill addresses. Poncin believes that in the future, each bank will issue its own stablecoin and operate its own blockchain.

#MyTradingStyle The trading styles I engage in the most are Scalping and Swing.

Swing trading is a style that focuses on opening a position within a broader movement. It involves holding a trade for several days or weeks to take advantage of short- and medium-term market fluctuations.

The main objective of swing trading is to detect a trend and take advantage of the dips and peaks that offer entry points. A swing trader uses technical analysis to identify these key price points. They look for two types of market movement: a high, when the price goes up, and a low, when the price goes down.

A swing low indicates an opportunity to buy a long position or sell a short position, while a swing high is an opportunity to sell a long position or open a short position. Swing traders often seek markets with high volatility, as these are the markets where fluctuations are more likely to occur.

Scalping is a dynamic trading strategy that focuses on capturing small, frequent, and profitable price movements. It may seem overwhelming at first, but with concentration and practice, new traders can learn to navigate the fast-paced world of scalping and understand how even small movements in the market can generate consistent profits.

Scalping focuses on capturing small price movements, often just a few pips or cents per trade. Scalpers are day traders who execute numerous transactions throughout the day, sometimes even hundreds, to accumulate small consistent profits that add up over time.

This strategy often involves leverage to increase profits, which also raises the risk. Therefore, discipline is key. Since the profits per trade are small, hesitating to exit a losing trade can lead to losses that are difficult to recover.

$USDC Coinbase Offers USDC Settlements 24/7 for Platforms—Faster, Cheaper, Borderless

Coinbase launches a fully innovative USDC payment engine, reducing friction in global commerce with instant settlements, lower fees, and seamless integration, redefining the utility of stablecoins in regulated markets.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) announced on June 18 its new solution to simplify stablecoin payments: Coinbase Payments.

This comprehensive system focuses on USD Coin (USDC), providing instant payments, 24/7 without requiring blockchain expertise. Already operational with Shopify, it targets payment service providers, marketplaces, and e-commerce platforms.

Coinbase highlighted the growing importance of stablecoins, reporting $30 trillion in settlements last year, tripling from the previous year. “Coinbase Payments is the first fully integrated stablecoin payment solution built for large-scale commerce platforms.

It absorbs the blockchain so you can offer native crypto payments without the need for native crypto teams,” the company explained, elaborating:
We built it to drive seamless USDC payments with faster settlement, lower fees, and global reach.

The system operates on Coinbase's Base network, ensuring fast and low-cost transactions. Coinbase Payments includes Stablecoin Checkout for native consumer wallet payments, the Ecommerce Engine for merchant APIs that handle key payment functions, and the Commerce Payments Protocol for secure on-chain transactions with features like escrow and refunds.

#FOMCMeeting What to expect from this week's Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates

The Federal Reserve is likely to stick to its "wait and see" mantra next week, setting the stage for a showdown with the president.

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its key interest rate stable when the central bank's monetary policy committee meets on Wednesday, potentially provoking even more anger from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly demanded that the Fed, which is not under the direct control of the White House, cut its benchmark interest rate by one percentage point.

Early Monday, financial markets estimated a nearly 100% probability that the Fed will leave the benchmark rate unchanged this week, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, which forecasts rate movements based on futures trading data for Fed funds.

In recent weeks, Federal Reserve officials have been reluctant to lower interest rates from their current elevated levels, as they are concerned that Trump's tariffs could reignite high inflation, which has dropped at an almost unstoppable pace from the Federal Reserve's 2% annual target, after soaring in the post-pandemic era.

For his part, Trump has frequently criticized the Federal Reserve for not cutting rates this year, even calling its chairman, Jerome Powell, an "idiot."

A lower federal funds interest rate could boost the economy and foster job creation, but it could also relieve some of the downward pressure on inflation.

Fed officials have been under a "quiet" communication period in the past week before the meeting, but before going silent, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicated that they wanted to see how the economy responded to Trump's tariffs before making any policy decisions.
