Russian Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov stated that Russia may introduce fees, recommendations, and technical protection mechanisms for "unfriendly" cryptocurrency transactions to protect Russian investors. During the preparation for the second reading of the cryptocurrency market regulation bill, one of the core topics is whether to allow specific digital assets (including USDT and BNB) to participate in trading. Ivan Chebeskov pointed out that the operation of such tools may pose high risks to Russian users, and therefore additional protective measures are being considered, including economic incentives such as fees or recommendations to encourage citizens to hold other assets.Previously, the Russian Ministry of Finance considered excluding USDT from the cryptocurrency market regulatory framework, but industry participants expressed their willingness to bear the risks of using the tool themselves. Additionally, in the regulatory concept proposed by the Central Bank of Russia last December, it was suggested that digital currencies and stablecoins be classified as foreign exchange assets, allowing buying and selling but prohibiting their use for domestic payments for goods and services. Ineligible investors may purchase the most liquid cryptocurrencies after passing specific tests, and the annual limit for purchasing assets through a single intermediary does not exceed 300,000 rubles.

According to The Block, New York Supreme Court Judge Kathy J. King signed an order to suspend the litigation seeking to claim ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets, with a hearing scheduled for July 14 on a key amicus brief.The plaintiffs in the case are known as "Noah Doe" and two shell companies, seeking to claim these wallets under New York State's lost property law. Attorney Ian R. Cohen submitted an amicus brief opposing the plaintiffs' claims. He argues that the lost property law pertains to tangible items, while blockchain addresses are always visible to the world; if the original owner cannot access their assets due to a security breach, it constitutes a passive loss of access rather than a voluntary relinquishment.Cohen emphasized that the plaintiffs do not have the private keys, and the blockchain network "structurally disregards" judicial rulings; the court's declaration cannot truly transfer ownership of the assets and may instead be used by the plaintiffs to mislead exchanges and custodians.Previously, on May 26, it was reported that a U.S. man and two companies filed a lawsuit seeking ownership of over 39,000 dormant Bitcoin addresses.

According to Fortune magazine, Elon Musk's close friend and founder of Valor Equity Partners, Antonio Gracias, may gain over $100 billion in wealth due to the SpaceX IPO.It is reported that Valor holds more than 500 million shares of SpaceX Class A stock. If SpaceX goes public with a rumored valuation of $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, the value of its holdings could reach between $90 billion and $140 billion.At the same time, the approximately $20 billion related party transactions between SpaceX and Valor have also sparked corporate governance controversies. Documents show that subsidiaries related to xAI under SpaceX had signed three GPU infrastructure leasing agreements with Valor, all of which were guaranteed for payment by SpaceX. The auditing firm PwC believes that the nature of the transaction is closer to a loan rather than a normal sale-leaseback, and therefore requires that approximately $9 billion of related debt be included in SpaceX's balance sheet.

According to the latest documents disclosed by the UK Electoral Commission, Thames-based investor Christopher Harborne has provided further donation support to the Reform Party. Harborne is estimated to hold about 12% of the shares in Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer. The disclosed documents show that following a £9 million donation made public last year, Harborne donated an additional £3 million in November.Under the leadership of Nigel Farage, the Reform Party has made digital assets a core part of its economic agenda, promising to make the UK a "primary hub" for digital assets and proposing to reduce the capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies from the current rate of about 18% to 10%. The Reform Party became the first UK political party to accept donations in digital assets in 2025, allowing supporters to donate using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This move has raised concerns among some MPs; in January, the chairs of seven parliamentary committees urged the government to ban political donations in cryptocurrencies, arguing that digital assets could obscure the source of funds and pose a risk of foreign interference in the electoral system.
