US law enforcement group drops opposition to CLARITY Act: Report

The Major County Sheriffs of America reportedly said it no longer opposes the CLARITY Act after initially raising concerns over how the bill would affect illicit finance investigations.　　In a letter to US Senate Banking Committee chair Tim Scott and Senator Elizabeth Warren on Friday, the MCSA said it shifted its stance on the CLARITY Act to “neutral” after some of its concerns in a May 14 letter regarding Section 604 in the bill were addressed.　　Section 604 relates to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, which seeks to protect developers from liability for illicit activity committed by users on their decentralized platforms.　　The MCSA previously contended that Section 604 could create a loophole for criminals to exploit, making it tougher for law enforcement to investigate crypto-related crimes.Source: Eleanor Terrett　　While the CLARITY Act has bipartisan support, its passage through the Senate has largely been stalled by banking groups seeking to restrict stablecoin yield, which they argue functions like an unregulated deposit product that could drive trillions of dollars in outflows from the traditional banking system.　　The bill has been awaiting a full Senate vote since May, when the Senate Banking Committee passed the bill mostly along party lines.　　Senators in favor of the bill are pushing

Bitcoin profit and loss ratio falls to 43-month low

Bitcoins realized profit and loss ratio has fallen to a 43-month low of -0.35, a figure that signals extreme market-wide loss conditions but has historically coincided with market bottoms, blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant said.　　The Bitcoin realized Ps aggregate on-chain cost basis — a level that has historically coincided with strong forward returns of 41% at six months and 81% at 12 months.　　Livingston acknowledged that buying Bitcoin right now “feels awful,” but that‘s precisely why it’s trading at a discount, he argued.　　“Waiting for ‘the bottom’ is a wonderful plan with one flaw. The bottom never announces itself,” Livingston said, recommending investors buy now rather than overpay at the top.

ESMA warns many prediction market event contracts already face EU retail ban

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has warned that many prediction market contracts may already fall under existing restrictions on binary options, saying companies cannot avoid financial regulations simply by marketing them as “event contracts.”　　In a public statement on Friday, the regulator reminded companies that event contracts meeting the definition of financial instruments are already prohibited from being marketed, distributed or sold to retail investors under national measures implementing ESMAs 2018 binary options restrictions.　　ESMA said the assessment depends on a contracts characteristics rather than how it is marketed, adding that event contracts with binary outcomes and fixed payouts are likely to qualify as financial instruments subject to the restrictions.　　The regulator also told companies that offering qualifying event contracts to professional or institutional clients still requires authorization under the EUs Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, or MiFID II, regardless of whether retail investors are excluded.Excerpt from ESMAs July statement on event contracts. Source: ESMA　　The statement does not introduce new restrictions. ESMA said it issued the reminder after observing increased offerings of event contracts and the rapid growth of prediction markets, noting that qualifying binary options have already been subject to national restrictions across the EU since 2018.　　Related: StanChart joins ESMAs

Crypto Biz: Bitcoin maximalism meets the realities of capital markets

For years, Michael Saylors Strategy built its brand around a simple mantra: Buy Bitcoin. Never sell. This week, that narrative changed.　　The company authorized up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin sales under a new capital framework. At current prices, that equates to roughly 21,000 BTC that could eventually hit the market — a reminder that even Bitcoin‘s most committed corporate holder isn’t immune to the realities of capital management.　　This week‘s Crypto Biz explores how the digital asset industry is entering a more pragmatic phase, where ideological purity is giving way to financial discipline. It also examines the intensifying stablecoin race as issuers compete for reserve yield, Fidelitys latest defense of Bitcoins long-term security model and the crypto industry’s growing political influence ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections.　　Strategy authorizes $1.25 billion in Bitcoin sales to fund dividends, buybacks　　Strategy has authorized up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin sales under a new capital framework that will fund shareholder dividends, bolster cash reserves and repurchase stock while preserving its long-term Bitcoin strategy.　　The companys new “Digital Credit Capital Framework” raises the annual dividend on its STRC preferred stock from 11.5% to 12%, establishes a formal Bitcoin monetization program and expands capital return initiatives through buybacks

Update (July 4, 6:30 AM UTC): This article has been updated to correct information regarding MiCA compliance costs.　　The European Unions cryptocurrency industry has entered a new enforcement phase as the transition period under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation came to an end.　　The end of the transition means crypto companies without MiCA authorization can no longer legally serve EU clients and are expected to wind down operations or face multimillion-euro fines and other enforcement action.　　Industry executives and lawyers told Cointelegraph the next challenge is ensuring national regulators apply the blocs single rulebook consistently, even as supervisory approaches are expected to vary across member states.　　The transition marks MiCAs first major enforcement test as regulators begin applying the EUs crypto rulebook.　　MiCA compliance costs versus fines　　Although complying with MiCA can cost hundreds of thousands euros, experts say operating without authorization carries far greater financial and regulatory risks.　　Nicola Massella, partner at Storm Partners, estimated MiCA implementation costs for many Cryptocurrency companies at 350,000 euros ($400,000) to 600,000 euros ($690,000). Brickken CEO Edwin Mata said the real cost comes from building continuous compliance systems, including anti-money laundering monitoring, Travel Rule infrastructure and custody segregation.　　On penalties, Eckehard Stolz, managing director of Amina EU, said MiCA penalties

Donald Trump says ‘nothing wrong’ with $1.4B crypto windfall while in office

US President Donald Trump has responded to criticism of his 2025 financial disclosures, showing that he earned $1.4 billion in income from crypto-related ventures while in office.　　In a Thursday interview with CNBC‘s Joe Kernen, Trump said that there was “nothing illegal” and “nothing wrong” with profiting from his crypto investments as president. He claimed that other people were responsible for his investments and he didn’t “even know who they are,” not directly answering questions about perceived conflicts of interest as president.Donald Trump (left) and Joe Kernen (right). Source: CNBC　　Trump‘s comments followed the release of his 2025 financial disclosure report by the US Office of Government Ethics, showing that he took in more than $2 billion from his businesses and investments, about $1.4 billion of which was connected to crypto projects like his memecoin and family’s platform World Liberty Financial. Many advocacy organizations have characterized the investments as a “grift” allowing the president to influence related legislation like the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act.　　Following his first term as US president, Trump called Bitcoin (BTC) a “scam.” However, in the lead-up to the 2024 election, he began cozying up to many high-profile figures in the crypto industry, including Gemini co-founders Cameron

US senator calls for ban on elected officials issuing memecoins

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the US lawmakers behind negotiations for a digital asset market structure bill in Congress, has proposed barring elected officials and the president from issuing or sponsoring their own tokens, citing President Donald Trump‘s and First Lady Melania Trump’s memecoins.　　In a Friday notice, Gillibrand said that Congress should support measures barring elected officials and their spouses from “issuing or sponsoring their own digital assets.” The New York lawmaker said that the proposed restriction would include any US president and their spouse, but did not specifically mention extending the provision to the office of the vice president or other members of their families.　　“This is a commonsense requirement that should get broad bipartisan support – public officials and their spouses should not be issuing memecoins,” said Gillibrand. “We cannot let self-dealing destroy an opportunity to strengthen consumer protections, crack down on illicit finance, and expand economic opportunity for the millions of Americans our financial system has left behind.”Source: Kirsten Gillibrand　　Gillibrand is one of the lawmakers behind negotiations regarding the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act in the Senate, legislation which has faced delays due to concerns about ethics, tokenization and stablecoin rewards.
