According to FinanceFeeds, the Indian Parliament's Standing Committee on Finance has recommended that the government establish a temporary regulatory mechanism led by recognized Self-Regulatory Organizations (SROs) to oversee the domestic cryptocurrency and virtual digital asset market. The committee warned that the lack of a clear legal framework exposes millions of retail investors to operational, custodial, and fraud risks.The SRO will implement standardized codes of conduct under the direct supervision of the Reserve Bank of India or the Securities and Exchange Board of India, covering consumer protection, platform transparency, and token disclosure standards, and will be responsible for auditing exchange reserves, mandating the segregation of customer funds from corporate funds, and establishing user complaint handling channels. The committee emphasized that the temporary SRO must operate under strict oversight from the central bank or the securities regulator to address macroeconomic risks such as cross-border capital flows, dollarization of stablecoins, tax evasion, and violations of foreign exchange management laws.

Glassnode Chief Research Analyst CryptoVizArt stated that the cost basis distribution heatmap for short-term holders shows that during Bitcoin's rebound from $57,000, a new round of chips transferred to new buyers occurred in the $62,000 to $65,000 range.He believes this structure has two sides. On one hand, buyers are actively accumulating during the upward process, which may form a new cost basis support, providing conditions for Bitcoin to further test levels of $66,000 and above. On the other hand, this round of chip accumulation is more concentrated at the tail end of a local rebound. If Bitcoin cannot effectively break through $66,000, the risk of the market forming a phase top will increase. $66,000 is a key short-term position for judging the above two scenarios.

Programmer Stefan Thomas holds an IronKey encrypted USB drive containing the private keys for 7,002 bitcoins, which were earned as a reward for his 2011 educational video "What is Bitcoin?" Recently valued at approximately $111,000 each, this amounts to about $777 million.The IronKey device is set to permanently lock and delete its contents after 10 incorrect password attempts. Thomas has tried 8 times and has only 2 attempts left.

According to Bitcoin.com, a U.S. federal court has rejected CoinFlip and Private IT Corporation's request for an emergency temporary restraining order against the cryptocurrency ATM ban in Tennessee, which took effect on July 1. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to meet the legal standards for an emergency injunction, stating that although the businesses demonstrated they would suffer economic losses, it was not sufficient to outweigh the public interest represented by the state legislation.Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti stated that cryptocurrency ATMs are "tools for scammers targeting vulnerable residents, rarely used in any scenario approaching a legitimate purpose." The law classifies the installation or operation of cryptocurrency ATMs as a Class A misdemeanor. Tennessee, Indiana, and Vermont have fully banned cryptocurrency ATMs, Delaware is considering a similar ban, and North Carolina and Virginia have enacted stricter regulations. The constitutional challenge in the case will continue to progress, and the final ruling will determine whether the ban can be sustained in the long term.

According to official news, Uniswap Labs has released a temperature check proposal, suggesting the activation of protocol fees in the v4 pool. This proposal follows the rapid governance process previously approved by UNIfication and will directly enter a five-day Snapshot voting period, followed by on-chain voting.Due to the Hook architecture of v4 making fee settings more complex than v2/v3, the proposal has designed the V4 Fee Controller system, which includes two core contracts: V4FeePolicy calculates the fees for any pool based on governance rules, and V4FeeAdapter is responsible for executing governance overrides and collecting fees into TokenJar. Fees are calculated hierarchically based on the family of the pool: first checking the specific trading pair rate set by governance, then the family default rate, and finally the global default rate.This proposal aims to activate fees for three types of pool families across 11 chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain: static rate pools without Hooks, CCA pools after continuous liquidation auctions, and aggregator Hook pools. The rates for aggregator Hook pools are adjusted by a 25x multiplier, with a default of 10 bp for non-Base chains (3 bp for stablecoin pairs) and a default of 3 bp for Base chains (1 bp for stablecoin pairs). All fees will flow into each chain's TokenJar, and the amount of UNI burned on L2 and Alt-L1 will be cross-chain bridged to the Ethereum mainnet and sent to the 0xdead address.The Snapshot voting window is from July 7 to July 12, and on-chain voting will start during the week of July 13. Since GovernorBravo limits each proposal to 10 actions, two on-chain votes will be submitted in parallel to cover all chains.
