The market will focus this week on the U.S. June CPI, bank earnings reports, developments in the U.S.-Iran situation, and related dynamics from the Federal Reserve.Key events include: the release of the U.S. June CPI on Tuesday, where core inflation data may impact expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, while major banks like JPMorgan will successively disclose their earnings reports; on Thursday, TSMC will announce its latest performance, and AI computing power-related guidance may continue to influence sentiment in the semiconductor sector.

According to a report by the Procuratorial Daily, researchers from the People's Procuratorate of Yuhu District, Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, and the Law School of Xiangtan University have jointly written an article proposing a systematic response plan to the regulatory dilemmas of money laundering crimes using virtual currency. The article points out that current judicial practice faces three major dilemmas: first, Article 191 of the Criminal Law limits money laundering crimes to seven types of upstream crimes, resulting in many cases being treated as "concealment crimes"; second, methods such as mixers, privacy coins, and cross-chain transfers lead to fragmented evidence chains, making traditional investigative methods difficult to penetrate; third, conflicts in the legal attributes of virtual currency, a vacuum in procedural rules, and barriers to cross-border cooperation make it difficult to recover assets.In response, the article suggests promoting "dual investigations for one case," establishing the principle of self-authentication of blockchain data, constructing a tiered standard of proof, and establishing a national-level custody and disposal platform for involved virtual currencies, while actively promoting the signing of special agreements for international criminal justice assistance in virtual currency crimes.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that the recently launched "Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Pressure Model" shows that the buying and selling pressure from short-term holders is slightly cooling down, but buying power remains dominant. This model measures the changes in market bullish and bearish forces by comparing the realized buying pressure and selling pressure of short-term holders. During a bear market phase, this indicator can serve as a contrarian signal: when prices approach local lows, buyers are usually more active; when approaching local highs, selling pressure tends to increase. In the past 24 hours, the model has not shown any trend reversal signals. The latest hourly data shows that the buying pressure score is 28.57, slightly down from the previous day's 28.98; the selling pressure score is 22.62, a slight decrease from the previous 22.68. Currently, buyers are still leading sellers by about 5.94 percentage points.Overall, market buying pressure has cooled down, but short-term holders still maintain a buying advantage. Meanwhile, the funding situation in the Bitcoin ETF market has slightly improved. Following eight consecutive weeks of outflows, the ETF market recently recorded a net inflow of approximately $197.4 million. However, Adler pointed out that this scale is insufficient to confirm a reversal in institutional demand trends. Currently, the 30-day fund flow momentum for ETFs remains deeply negative, at about -$4.73 billion, and the cumulative fund size has fallen from a peak of about $62 billion to around $51 billion, indicating some improvement in short-term funds, but institutional buying demand has not fully recovered. Axel Adler expects that next week the market will face several important data and events, including further developments in the Middle East situation, the impact of the US-Iran conflict on energy supply, as well as earnings reports from major US banks, speeches from Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh, the June Consumer Price Index (CPI), the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, retail sales, and real estate market data.

According to The Block, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a circular requiring licensed virtual asset trading platforms and internet brokers to stop using one-time passwords (OTP) for user login and device binding within 12 months, and instead adopt stronger authentication methods such as passkeys and device binding.This move is due to the fact that in the 2025 Hong Kong cybersecurity incident, phishing attacks accounted for as much as 57%. The SFC also requires institutions to establish monitoring systems for suspicious logins, transactions, and withdrawals, and to promptly notify customers of any unusual account activities. Large brokers must implement the new authentication measures immediately. The SFC emphasizes that if internal controls are found to be deficient and result in customer losses, relevant responsibilities will be pursued.

According to a report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the stablecoin issuer Circle has been criminally charged by the Wisconsin state prosecutor for refusing to comply with a court order to assist in recovering funds for fraud victims.A victim in Wisconsin was defrauded of approximately 381,000 USDC, and the court issued a warrant last December requiring Circle to transfer frozen assets to law enforcement wallets, but Circle refused to comply, citing "technical inability to destroy and reissue tokens."The New York state prosecutor had previously sent a letter to the U.S. Senate, accusing Circle of repeatedly refusing asset freeze requests without a warrant and questioning its motives—Circle currently holds at least 119 million frozen USDC, which can continuously earn interest.In response, Circle denied the allegations, stating that the Wisconsin court lacks jurisdiction, and indicated that it has reached a preliminary agreement with federal prosecutors regarding a compensation mechanism for victims. Cryptocurrency tracking experts pointed out that Circle could fully implement token destruction and reissuance by updating its code, casting doubt on its claim of technical incapacity.
