Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya stated on the X platform that the current cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin bulls, is facing two major issues: first, marginal liquidity is more inclined to flow into prediction markets and stock markets; second, the marginal energy used for Bitcoin mining, if reallocated to serve AI token-related demands, could be valued 10 to 20 times higher. Chamath noted that these changes appear to be structural, but there is also a possibility of misjudgment.In response, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that the first point "seems more like a temporary phenomenon," while the second point may be more enduring. However, the computing power or energy flow used for Bitcoin mining does not directly determine Bitcoin prices, as the network difficulty will automatically adjust to maintain the same block production pace when miners exit. He also stated that, in the long run, Bitcoin prices reflect more of people's concerns about inflation, and there are no signs that the trend of democratic governments around the world continuing to expand fiscal deficits is coming to an end.

On the first anniversary of the signing of the GENIUS Act, the prospects of Tether USDT in the U.S. market face uncertainty. The act has a three-year compliance grace period, with about two years remaining, after which non-compliant stablecoins will not be able to trade on U.S. crypto platforms.According to Tether's latest disclosure, about 25% of USDT reserves are still allocated to assets such as precious metals, loans, and Bitcoin, which do not meet the requirements of the GENIUS Act. The act requires issuers to fully back their stablecoins with high liquidity assets such as cash and U.S. Treasury bonds. Tether CEO Ardoino promised compliance last year, and the company has launched the USAT stablecoin for the U.S. market through Anchorage Digital this year, but usage remains low.There is a divergence in the legal community regarding the compliance timeline for foreign issuers. Some lawyers believe that foreign issuers must immediately comply with freezing and seizure orders when the act takes effect (expected next January), but they have about two years to meet the remaining requirements. The policy director of Anchorage Digital stated that institutional users will transition to compliant stablecoins before the 2028 deadline. Currently, federal regulators have not finalized the implementation details of the GENIUS Act, and companies have no specific regulations to follow. Tether has not responded to CoinDesk's request for comments on compliance progress.

On July 18, 2026, at 21:44:51 UTC, Cardano activated the Van Rossem hard fork, upgrading the network to protocol version 11, with no reported downtime. This upgrade is part of the changes within the Conway ledger era, aimed at reducing the operating costs of Plutus smart contracts, enhancing ledger security, and introducing new cryptographic tools.Van Rossem includes 5 Cardano Improvement Proposals, involving BLS12-381 multi-scalar multiplication, on-chain array types, optimization of multi-asset value processing, acceleration of list operations, and built-in modular exponentiation. Staking pools are now prohibited from reusing the same verifiable random function key across the entire network; each pool must hold a unique key bound to its identity.This upgrade was completed through the Cardano on-chain governance process, with the proposal to activation advanced by on-chain voting. Delegated representatives passed the proposal with a support rate of 77.63%, while the support rate among staking pool operators was 52.7%, and the constitutional committee's voting result was 6-0-0-1. Wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA saw their total balance rise to the highest level since 2023, currently controlling over a quarter of the circulating supply of ADA. Cardano will subsequently advance Ouroboros Leios and plans to achieve a target of over 1,000 transactions per second during the testing period in 2026.
