Atkins: The SEC will focus on "clear" regulations for cryptocurrencies after the Ripple case The end of the legal dispute, which has lasted nearly five years, will allow the agency to spend more time developing clear regulatory frameworks, according to the SEC chair The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is signaling that it is increasingly focusing on developing a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies after ending one of the industry's longest legal battles.
The SEC and Ripple Labs ended their nearly five-year dispute after both parties filed a request to withdraw their legal appeals and assume their costs and fees, according to a filing made last Thursday in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
The conclusion of the case is a "positive development" that ensures that "minds that were previously occupied with litigation can now focus on creating a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies," said SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce
This year, the focus is on three intriguing candidates: Cold Wallet, Kaspa, and the perennial enigma, Shiba Inu. Understanding their nuances and potential may be the key to creating solid investment strategies for the future.
Cold Wallet: A Reward Game Cold Wallet is catching attention with its highly anticipated presale, boasting an impressive launch potential of 50x. At just $0.00998 per token, investors have a remarkable entry point. Currently in the 17th stage of its presale, Cold Wallet has successfully moved over 698 million tokens and raised approximately $5.8 million. But what sets Cold Wallet apart is its dynamic rewards framework that reinvests conventional transaction fees, turning them into incentives for users. Every moment spent on the blockchain—whether to cover gas fees or to execute token swaps—rewards users with refunds in CWT, deepening engagement in this self-custody initiative.
The U.S. Congress approves a historic cryptocurrency bill as Trump seeks to make the country the "crypto capital of the world"
The bill establishes a regulatory framework for a type of cryptocurrency called stablecoins, which are backed by assets considered reliable, such as the dollar.
Trump is expected to sign the bill on Friday, after the House of Representatives approved it on Thursday, joining the Senate, which had approved it last month.
The global capitalization of nearly 17,700 crypto assets reached 4 trillion dollars. How high could Bitcoin go, the momentum of Ether, the “GENIUS law” and the acid critique of a monetary hawk from the US towards crypto agents: “they tend to exhibit psychopathic characteristics” Stablecoins —assets designed to maintain parity with the dollar— gained relevance as instruments for fast and secure transfers within the crypto market. Their use expanded in recent years and are seen by several analysts as a possible revolution in the payment system. In parallel, a growing number of publicly traded companies began to include bitcoin in their balance sheets as a store of value. This corporate adoption contributed to the perception of legitimacy and stability in the sector.
Ethereum Market Movements: Hype and Reality in the Crypto Payroll
Recently, 50,600 ETH were sent to Binance, and it all goes back to HTX, formerly known as Huobi, where Justin Sun is an advisor. For reference, at the current market price, that reserve is worth around $181 million. People have noticed that ETH is first redeemed from Aave by HTX's recovery wallet, then sent to HTX's hot wallet, and finally to Binance.
In the past week, a total of 160,600 ETH, or $518 million, have been channeled from HTX to Binance in this manner. Naturally, this has made some Ethereum investors nervous, as large transfers tend to shake up the market.

Kiyosaki warns that FOMO for Bitcoin is about to begin Sergio Sánchez Written by Sergio Sánchez 1 hour ago Robert Kiyosaki at a financial event discussing Bitcoin. IMPORTANT POINTS: Bitcoin could enter FOMO phase according to Robert Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki bought at 110,000 and expects more increases due to panic. He warns that latecomers will lose out by entering with emotion. Investor Robert Kiyosaki warned about a possible wave of purchases driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), as Bitcoin (BTC) reaches new all-time highs. According to a post on July 11 on his X account, many could suffer losses by entering the market late amid the enthusiasm.
Kiyosaki revealed that he recently bought more Bitcoin at 110,000 dollars, preparing for what he calls the “Banana Zone,” a phase of accelerated increases that typically attracts emotional investors in the late stages of the cycle. In his analysis, patient buyers, whom he compares to “pigs,” benefit from accumulating early, while the “wild boars” who buy at inflated peaks are the most exposed to declines.
Who is quietly accumulating XRP? The signals that everyone ignores.
According to recent data from Santiment, more than 2,700 addresses are accumulating at least 1 million XRP, which represents a historical record on the network. This figure marks a milestone suggesting sustained accumulation by large investors.
Far from the headlines and discussions on social media, these addresses show a clear intention: to keep XRP off the circulating market, possibly in anticipation of a new bullish cycle.
XRP is showing consistent signs of high-level accumulation. Whales are active, large holders are increasing, and Ripple is maintaining its institutional roadmap.
Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, says there is a widespread belief that the stablecoin market could grow nearly tenfold in the coming years.
The stablecoin industry currently has a market capitalization of around 250 billion dollars, and "many people believe it will reach 1 to 2 trillion dollars in a few years," Garlinghouse said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday.
He added that the growth behind this has been "deep," stating that Ripple entered the market late in part because they were using stablecoins in their payment flows for their institutional clients.
"We can participate in this [stablecoin] market given our institutional history and regulatory compliance," he said, confirming that future growth will benefit the firm.
The comments came as Garlinghouse announced that BNY Mellon would be the custodian of the firm’s stablecoins for its dollar-pegged asset, Ripple USD.
Ripple launched its own enterprise-focused stablecoin, RLUSD, in late 2024. Since then, its market capitalization has grown to 500 million dollars, a milestone it reached on Wednesday.
XRP is capitalizing on the positive resolution in its legal dispute with the SEC, which has revived the confidence of institutional investors. Its RippleNet network continues to add banks and financial services.
XLM, on the other hand, has strengthened alliances such as that with MoneyGram and pilot projects with CBDCs, which although they do not generate constant headlines, position Stellar as a solid and undervalued infrastructure.
Strategic Security Measures: Keeping It Real For those of us navigating these waters, now is the time to take strategic action. We all need to invest some money in cybersecurity infrastructure to keep our precious data safe. A formal verification process and quality smart contract audits can reduce the likelihood of being hacked. And let’s not forget to leverage blockchain technology and AI for better security in transactions and compliance processes.
In this era of collaboration, partnerships with traditional institutions and regulators can provide startups with the advantage they need. And keep your compliance game strong. With crypto in the picture, you can bet your investment that maintaining strict compliance, especially AML, is crucial. Continuous monitoring is a must.
Summary We are in an interesting chapter of crypto history. With incidents like the Bitcoin Depot breach reminding us of the challenges ahead, the regulatory framework is evolving to support innovation, but also to ensure oversight. It’s a delicate balance. For businesses, strengthening security and collaborating with regulators is vital to building trust. The journey doesn’t end until the balance between security and innovation is achieved, and that is a precarious line.
Bitcoin Depot data was a major success. The breach occurred in June 2024, but was only disclosed recently, all due to an ongoing federal investigation. Oh, the irony, right? It compromised sensitive customer data, such as names, driver's license numbers, and contact information. As if that weren't enough, 2025 has already seen its share of major hacks. Who could forget the $40 million exploit of GMX V1 or the $1.4 billion hack of Bybit? These incidents demonstrate that crypto is not as secure as we thought, and raise the need for strong security measures.
Crypto Security: Lessons from Breaches and Regulation.
The crypto world is very active, and with it come serious challenges regarding security and cumbersome regulations. With high-profile breaches like the recent Bitcoin Depot incident making headlines, trust in our beloved digital currency is at stake. And just when you thought things couldn't get more intense, New Zealand decides to ban cryptocurrency ATMs altogether. This move aims to combat money laundering, but it also seems to complicate things for businesses wanting to use crypto. Get ready as we try to navigate the choppy waters of crypto security and regulation.

Caudillo warned that July will be a key month for the markets, but considered that "Bitcoin seems to be made for this type of scenario."

Crypto Payroll: Beyond the Hype Offering salaries in cryptocurrencies is becoming increasingly important as companies seek to attract tech-savvy talent. Companies like NYDIG and Everbowl are leading the way by allowing employees to be paid in Bitcoin, emphasizing the need for choice and education. But here’s the problem: while the idea of a crypto salary sounds great, the reality is a complex maze of regulations, market ups and downs, and employee sentiments.
Market Sentiment: The Emotional Roller Coaster Have you ever thought about how the Fear and Greed Index affects how employees feel about being paid in crypto? Yes, it’s a topic. This index shows how investors feel at any given moment. When fear is high, employees may want to stick to good old fiat salaries, as crypto feels risky. But when greed takes over, they might say: “Sure, pay me in crypto! I could make a good amount of money!”
