The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand has opened a public consultation on the revision of listing rules for digital assets on licensed cryptocurrency exchanges. The regulatory agency announced that it is accepting comments and suggestions until July 21. According to the draft of the new proposed SEC listing criteria, cryptocurrency exchanges will be able to list utility tokens or cryptocurrencies issued by themselves or related parties. Exchanges are required to disclose the identities of individuals associated with the issuers of crypto assets available on their platforms. As for crypto assets that were listed on the platform before the new rules come into effect, exchanges will be required to have issuers disclose information about the project team within 90 days from the date the new rules come into force. The SEC is confident that the new rules will help simplify the monitoring of suspicious transactions and prevent insider trading. Thailand positions itself as an international hub for digital assets, so the regulator aims to create a regulated environment for them and increase transparency in cryptocurrency trading.
#USNationalDebt The US national debt has surpassed $37 trillion—a figure that makes even the most composed economists clench their fists nervously. For comparison, just ten years ago this amount was $18 trillion. Doubling in a decade is an impressive 'record', isn't it? While politicians ponder how to cope with this financial avalanche, investors are increasingly looking towards Bitcoin. And there is reason to: during the same period when the US debt doubled, the first cryptocurrency rose from a mere $500 to a staggering $100,000. Coincidence? Unlikely.
$BTC The Government of Norway announced on June 20 its intention to introduce a temporary ban on the establishment of new data centers engaged in the most energy-intensive cryptocurrency mining. This step aims to conserve the country’s electricity for other industrial sectors. Karianne Tung, the Minister of Digitalization and Public Administration of Norway, stated that the Labor Party government has a “clear intention to significantly limit cryptocurrency mining in Norway.” Tung emphasized the rationale for the upcoming ban, noting: “Cryptocurrency mining is very energy-intensive and yields little in terms of jobs and income for the local community.” The temporary ban is expected to be implemented in the fall of 2025. This decision underscores Norway's evolving stance on cryptocurrency mining, moving towards a more restrictive approach to prioritize energy resources for sectors that are deemed to provide greater economic and social benefits.
There are many types of financial instruments that can be used for swing trading. Generally, each type of instrument has its advantages and disadvantages. The choice of instrument depends on the trader's risk level, experience, and current market conditions.
Below are the most popular instruments for this type of trading.
Currencies. When working with currencies, the swing trader aims for a particular currency to move in the expected direction (both up and down) relative to another currency.
Stocks of individual companies. Another option for swing trading is trading stocks of individual companies. The underlying idea is the same: swing traders buy stocks for a certain period of time and then sell them for a profit.
Swing trading also helps traders diversify their investments. However, it is important to remember that each type of trading has its pros and cons, and it is solely up to the trader to decide which one they will choose.
The Super App model, best illustrated by WeChat in China, is complex. In addition to a backend infrastructure capable of handling extensive, interactive elements, it requires alignment of trust, cultural integration, and a sustainable focus.
WeChat did not evolve through improvisation; it matured under coordinated leadership, with deep cooperation from regulatory bodies and a coherent product roadmap.
X, on the other hand, seems to have adopted an approach defined more by urgency than discipline. Just last year, Musk announced initiatives ranging from encrypted messaging and peer-to-peer payments to AI news and dating features. However, these product ambitions coincided with frequent platform outages and a notable decline in service reliability.
Super Apps do not thrive by imposing complexity on unstable systems. They flourish in environments of trusted trust - technical, operational, and institutional. And trust is hard to maintain when the platform itself appears fragile.
$USDC Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) announced on June 18 that its subsidiary Coinbase Derivatives LLC is collaborating with Nodal Clear to include the USDC stablecoin as allowable collateral for futures trading in the U.S. This initiative, which is part of a multi-year extension agreement, is being developed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). "This is expected to be the first regulated use case of USDC as collateral, using Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian," the cryptocurrency exchange stated. Coinbase Custody Trust, a Qualified Custodian regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, will act as the custodian in this agreement.
The Federal Reserve System of the United States (Fed), performing the functions of the country's central bank, at the end of a two-day meeting on June 17-18, kept the interest rate at 4.25-4.5% per annum. This is stated in the regulator's press release. At the previous meeting in May, the Fed also kept the rate unchanged. The regulator noted that, despite fluctuations in net export indicators, recent data suggests that economic activity in the U.S. continues to grow at a steady pace. The unemployment rate remains low, and the labor market situation is stable, while inflation remains somewhat elevated. The Fed aims to achieve maximum employment in the country and an inflation rate of 2% in the long term, as stated in the regulator's message. Uncertainty regarding the economic outlook for the U.S. has decreased but remains elevated. Going forward, the regulator will continue to monitor the impact of incoming information on economic prospects and will be ready to adjust monetary policy in case risks arise that could hinder the achievement of the Fed's goals.
On the hourly chart, Bitcoin has shown a flat to bearish position, forming a narrow channel between $103,500 and $105,500. Price actions have demonstrated a bearish flag pattern, which is typically a signal for a continuation of the downward movement unless canceled by bullish volume. The thinning volume underscores market indecision, with the possibility of intraday scalping near $103,500, targeting $104,800 to $105,000. A decisive breakout above $105,500, supported by volume, could trigger a short-term rally, while a breakdown below $103,000 is likely to activate bearish momentum with targets around the $100,000 mark.
#GENIUSActPass The US Senate has passed the GENIUS stablecoin bill The US Senate approved the stablecoin bill "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins" (GENIUS). The bipartisan support passed with a result of 68 votes in favor and 30 against. "GENIUS lays the regulatory foundation for payment stablecoins. It will cement the dominance of the US dollar, protect consumers, and stimulate demand for Treasury bonds," said Republican Senator Bill Hagerty, the chief author of the bill. The new law: requires all stablecoins to be fully backed by liquid dollar assets; obligates large issuers (capitalization over $50 billion) to undergo annual audits; prohibits giants like Meta and Amazon from issuing their own stablecoins without meeting strict risk and privacy criteria; guarantees stablecoin holders "super-priority" in the event of the issuer's bankruptcy. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen supported the initiative. "It is expected that by the end of the decade, the stablecoin market will grow to $3.7 trillion. Despite the success in the Senate, the next step is a vote in the House of Representatives.
#MyTradingStyle The English word "trade" translates to "торговля", so trading is the buying and selling of assets. In a modern context, trading refers to short-term trading. Long-term trading is usually called investing. It is not uncommon for an unsuccessful short-term buying transaction to turn a trader into an investor. The difference between trading and investing mainly lies in the approach to asset evaluation. From a trader's perspective, the price of an asset is a number on the terminal that needs to increase for the transaction to be successful. This category includes day traders who monitor minute Japanese candlesticks and enjoy volatile markets. The more price fluctuations there are, the greater the potential profit for such a trader if they can predict the market's direction. The following types of trading exist: medium-term trading; long-term trading; technical trading; swing trading; day trading; skalping.
$USDC The largest stablecoin after USDT, USDC, has taken an important step — it now operates on the World Chain network created by Sam Altman. Circle, the company behind USDC, announced the launch of the native version of the stablecoin on World Chain. Previously, World App users had already used the "bridged" USDC, but now transfers will be even more convenient. "About two million World App users have already worked with USDC, but now it has become native — this will significantly simplify operations," project representatives stated. In addition, the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) has been deployed on the network, which accelerates cross-network transactions. According to the World team, this opens up new opportunities for DeFi developers and regular cryptocurrency holders.
#FOMCMeeting The focus of the markets this week will be the attempt by the US Federal Reserve to balance concerns about a weakening labor market and stubbornly high inflation - investors will assess the risks for a rally in the American stock market.
The American stock index S&P 500 has sharply recovered over the past two months - concerns about the potential impact of trade barriers on the economy have eased since the market crash on April 2 following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 'day of liberation'.
The rally was interrupted on Friday - global stock markets fell due to a flight of investors to safe-haven assets after Israel's missile attack on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory strike. Major US indexes lost more than 1% on Friday.
The next major test for the markets could be the two-day Fed meeting. While it is expected that the US central bank will keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, investors are eagerly awaiting any hints that the Fed may consider lowering rates in the coming months.

#CardanoDebate In the last 24 hours, the price of ADA has decreased by approximately 6%, and the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has shrunk by 5%. The Cardano token is trading at around $0.6, approximately 60% below its all-time high recorded in September 2021. About 36.1 billion coins are in circulation. Some users criticized Hoskinson's proposal to sell a significant volume of ADA due to potential pressure on the asset's quotes. "We could convert 140 million ADA in a week or so without moving the market using OTC and TWAP orders. This is a false narrative," he responded to opponents. In his opinion, the mere belief in 'Cardano DeFi as a bullish trend' will create buying demand that compensates for the large liquidation.
$ADA Founder of Cardano Charles Hoskinson proposed to allocate $100 million in ADA tokens from the project's reserves to purchase bitcoins and 'stablecoins' to activate the DeFi segment on the network. "We could take $100 million in ADA from the treasury, convert it into a mix of stablecoins used in Cardano, namely USDM and USDA, and exchange part of it for bitcoins for initial BTCFi," he stated. According to Hoskinson, this step will eliminate a drawback of the blockchain ecosystem, such as limited adoption of 'stablecoins', which reduces competitiveness in the DeFi sector. He believes that solving this issue will generate 'non-inflationary income' and stimulate the economy of decentralized finance.
