According to the Korea Herald, the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the exchange have decided that starting from July 31, the minimum deposit requirement for single stock leveraged ETFs and ETNs will be raised from 10 million KRW (approximately 51,000 USD) to 30 million KRW (approximately 153,000 USD), and only cash will be accepted; stocks, bonds, and other securities will no longer be recognized as collateral. The new regulations apply to both domestic and overseas listed products, and existing investors must also meet the requirements when making additional purchases, but there are no restrictions on selling. In addition, the funds from sales can only be counted as deposits after 2 business days following settlement, and loans secured by the sale proceeds will not count as deposits.The product was launched on May 27, involving 16 underlying assets, with an initial market value of approximately 4.4 trillion KRW, which has expanded to 11.9 trillion KRW as of July 15. Daily trading volume increased from 10.4 trillion KRW on the day of listing to about 13 trillion KRW. Previously, South Korea had suspended the listing of new products and prohibited related advertisements starting from July 16, tightening the discount rate management standard from 3% to 2%. Market rumors suggest that regulators are also considering reducing the number of liquidity providers, widening the bid-ask spread, and lowering the leverage ratio from 2 times to around 1.5 times.

Former Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated that the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), which claims to represent millions of Hispanic businesses across the country, sent a letter to Senate leaders this week expressing concerns similar to those of community banks that the Clarity Act could accelerate deposit outflows.

The South Korean Financial Services Commission stated that it will submit the government bill for the second phase of the "Basic Law on Digital Assets" as soon as possible, and will coordinate the release of guidelines for corporate cryptocurrency asset trading with the legislative process. At the same time, it plans to include digital asset custody under independent business regulation and holds a cautious attitude towards the mandatory separation of custody business from exchanges.In addition, South Korea will refer to the practices of the European Union to provide a more convenient access mechanism for traditional financial institutions applying for virtual asset service provider licenses. Regarding the market's concern about the separation of exchange custody business, the South Korean Financial Services Commission stated that there are currently few cases of mandatory separation overseas and prefers to prevent conflicts of interest through improved behavioral regulation rather than requiring exchanges to operate custody business independently.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, Chun Wang (@satofishi) deposited $15.65 million in assets into Binance, including 6,009 ETH, worth approximately $11.56 million, and 62.31 WBTC, worth approximately $4.09 million.The sources of the related assets include withdrawals from Spark Fi, unstaking from Lido Finance, and exchanging WETH for WBTC through CoWSwap.

According to analysis by XWIN Japan, CryptoQuant data shows that although there are occasional spikes in daily Bitcoin deposits, Binance's 30-day net flow tends to balance out, with withdrawals essentially offsetting deposits. This means that large deposits have not translated into sustained net inflows of funds—incoming BTC is either absorbed by market buying or withdrawn for long-term custody.Analysts point out that neutral or negative net flows typically reflect holding behavior rather than a willingness to sell. Current data suggests that investors may be more inclined to use Binance for liquidity rather than preparing for large-scale sell-offs. Although short-term spikes in deposits may still lead to price volatility, the overall picture does not indicate sustained selling pressure.

According to DigitalToday, the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Ministry of Science and ICT have launched the "Deposit Token Payment Infrastructure Expansion Project," which will extend the results of South Korea's CBDC pilot "Project Hangang" into the private payment sector.The project is overseen by the Financial Settlement Agency, with participation from 9 banks, 8 payment gateways, and 2 large demand-side entities, with a total budget of 9.6 billion KRW, aimed at reducing payment fees for small and micro merchants. The project utilizes existing payment systems rather than building new infrastructure, allowing users to complete payments through bank deposit token wallets without requiring merchants to change terminals.The government also plans to apply deposit tokens to a pilot for official travel expenses and explore a treasury fund management model linked with dBrain. Approximately 3 billion KRW of the total project budget will be invested in the development, operation, and promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, and IT companies, while participating banks will separately advance about 4.5 billion KRW in related businesses.

According to a report by CryptoSlate, BitMine's Ethereum staking and validation business heavily relies on the third-party operator Ethereum Tower. According to the relevant management service agreement, Ethereum Tower holds an irrevocable interest of 2% in MAVAN, and the initial term of the agreement lasts for up to 10 years; if BitMine terminates the cooperation early under non-specific default circumstances, the other party can still choose to continue receiving revenue sharing for the remaining term or receive a one-time compensation according to a formula.Documents show that in the three months ending May 31, 2026, BitMine's staking and validation business revenue was $45.743 million, accounting for 98.3% of total revenue of $46.535 million. During the same period, the company held approximately 5.4169 million ETH, valued at about $10.856 billion, of which approximately 4.7187 million had been used for staking. The report suggests that this means BitMine's revenue performance is not only dependent on Ethereum staking returns but is also significantly constrained by third-party management relationships and potential termination costs.

According to The Block, the new version of the cryptocurrency ethics clause signed by President Trump has been approved, explicitly prohibiting federal officials (including members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President) from issuing digital assets, with the Department of Justice serving as the primary enforcement agency rather than state attorneys general. This arrangement has sparked controversy among Democrats. Maryland Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks stated that "having the Department of Justice enforce the ethics clause is not a serious proposal," and she will not support the bill if the final text remains as such.This clause is the last obstacle to the passage of the Clarity Act, with the controversy focusing on Trump's own meme coin and his family company World Liberty Financial—last month's financial report revealed that Trump received millions of dollars in related income from WLF. The White House has not confirmed the specific wording of the clause but stated that it is working with lawmakers to push the bill through and will place the blame for any obstruction on the Democrats.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Service Washington Field Office, announced that an investigation into multiple international cyber fraud cases has led to the seizure of over $25 million in cryptocurrency, with the funds suspected to be linked to cryptocurrency investment scams targeting residents of the United States and Canada. This operation is part of the U.S. "Scam Center Strike Force," initiated in 2025 by D.C. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, which has so far recovered assets totaling over $800 million.U.S. prosecutors stated that on July 21, 2026, the D.C. Attorney's Office submitted five civil forfeiture complaints to the U.S. District Court, seeking to confiscate over $25 million in crypto assets recovered from various fraud investigations. Investigators indicated that these cases involve multiple money laundering networks, with victims spread across the globe. Criminal groups lure victims into investing through fake cryptocurrency investment platforms, online romance scams, and other methods, and conceal the source of funds through multi-layered wallet addresses and coin mixing operations.The seized funds are related to five major investigations: in one case, Canadian law enforcement provided the U.S. Secret Service with wallet addresses suspected of transferring illegal proceeds. Investigators froze the relevant addresses and tracked over 270 suspected victim transactions, involving approximately $10.4 million; the second case involves an online romance scam where over 200 victims were defrauded, with illegal funds transferred through hundreds of intermediary wallet addresses, mixing with other victims' funds, totaling about $12.08 million; the third case involves a victim in the Washington D.C. area who participated in a fake cryptocurrency investment project and lost contact with the scammers after a failed withdrawal, with related funds amounting to about $1.23 million; in the fourth case, a victim transferred millions of dollars in cryptocurrency to a fake investment account, and investigators traced part of the funds to six wallet addresses, freezing approximately $2.39 million; in the fifth case, scammers impersonated a "fund recovery" agency, tricking victims into paying fees, with the amount involved being about $285,000. The U.S. Secret Service stated that these cases are still under ongoing investigation, and law enforcement is tracking the suspects behind the fraud networks and will collaborate with international law enforcement agencies to hold them accountable.
