Argentinian federal judge Marcelo Martinez ordered the identification and freezing of a group of wallets related to Libra, after the federal police's cybercrime technology department tracked the flow of related funds across multiple cryptocurrency networks since May. The investigation involves 8 wallets marked as "Libra team," which are directly related to the token issuance.Reports indicate that 4 of these wallets had previously pooled nearly $57 million into one address, which had been frozen and then unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, the related funds were transferred to a Tron address through an interoperability protocol, amounting to nearly $500,000. At least 10 of the 17 transactions passed through Binance, with 8 wallets associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex.Some users of the related $8.2 million in funds may be identifiable through the KYC rules of centralized exchanges. The remaining funds are currently managed by Libra Trust, which plans to allocate them as funding to Argentine companies before November, with 71 applications pending approval.

Sharplink Research Director Steven Ehrlich published an analysis pointing out that Ethereum started strong in July 2026, with an increase of about 11% so far this month. Historical data suggests that investors should pay attention to ETH's performance in July. Steven Ehrlich noted that the core advantage of ETH's July performance is not merely volatility, but the asymmetry between rises and falls: when July sees an increase, the average rise is about 43%, while in years of decline, the average drop is only about 5% (from 2020 to 2025).Historically, months of significant gains for ETH are usually driven by "Ethereum-specific catalysts + supply-demand imbalance." The current market environment also presents similar opportunities, such as: institutional infrastructure is being built, the Ethereum roadmap is continuously upgrading, and corporate funds are consistently increasing their holdings of ETH. Currently, Ethereum is entering a new development phase, where institutional adoption, technological upgrades, and capital allocation may become important factors driving ETH's market performance.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, influenced by the overall sluggishness of the cryptocurrency market in recent months, the combined issuance of the two major stablecoins, USDT and USDC, has decreased by approximately $13.9 billion, with USDT decreasing by about $7.4 billion and USDC decreasing by about $6.5 billion. However, the adoption of stablecoins in real economic scenarios continues to grow.In the first half of this year, the real economic transaction volume (ATV) of stablecoins reached $8.82 trillion, close to last year's historical high of $10.8 trillion, with USDT contributing more than half.Against the backdrop of the overall decline in stablecoin issuance, the issuance of USDT on the Tron chain has risen against the trend to a historical high of $90.3 billion, with an increase of about $2 billion in the past month. This indicates that the reduced issuance mainly comes from the Ethereum ecosystem, which is primarily DeFi-focused, while the demand for Tron in real application scenarios such as cross-border transfers and payment settlements continues to grow steadily.
