A paper posted on arXiv analyzed seven past large-scale Bitcoin liquidation events and found it is difficult to predict any individual crash in advance, according to CryptoSlate. The paper said no data on price, leverage, or order flow provided advance warning of the liquidation events. In six of the seven cases, lower volatility in market orders was commonly observed, but the researchers interpreted that only as a weak sign of markets turning quiet just before a sell-off and said it was insufficient as a reliable signal for predicting the timing of the next crash. On price action, five of the seven cases showed warning signs of slowing upward momentum, while the other two were triggered by sudden external events such as tariff shocks, with no such signals appearing. The paper added that while certain market patterns do recur before sharp Bitcoin declines, accurately forecasting the next liquidation-driven plunge using any single indicator remains very difficult. It also said conventional price- or leverage-based warning signals may offer little help when liquidation events are driven by unexpected external shocks such as macroeconomic news or policy announcements.

Grayscale Investments has sent a letter urging the Senate to hold a floor vote on the CLARITY Act before the August recess. The company said lawmakers and staff had spent months working through difficult issues tied to jurisdiction, investor protection and safeguards for developers, and said the resulting framework protects investors, prevents legitimate developers from exercising excessive authority, and provides the certainty Americans deserve.

MLM Monitor said 4.93 million HYPE team tokens unlocked in December 2025 were distributed to team members, equal to about $270 million at current prices and 0.493% of total supply. Of that amount, 1.19 million HYPE was sold on the open market for $32.5 million in cash, while another 3.14 million HYPE was transferred to an OTC platform, with a transfer value of about $132 million. As a result, about 4.33 million HYPE was sold for roughly $165 million in total, with average monthly sales of about 540,000 HYPE, or around $20.6 million. Over the same period, the ecosystem support fund spent about $364 million to buy back roughly 9.8 million HYPE, according to MLM Monitor. That puts the average monthly buyback at about 1.23 million HYPE, or around $46 million, marking a repurchase pace about twice as fast as the selling rate of current and former team members.

STS Digital CEO Maxime Seiler said institutional options selling, artificial intelligence and delayed U.S. crypto regulation are holding back the next crypto bull market, according to CoinDesk. Seiler said those three factors are capping crypto prices even as institutional investors have steadily adopted blockchain technology over the past four years. Meaningful gains in the crypto market will require multiple catalysts to align at once, Seiler added, including regulatory clarity, broad institutional investment in 24-hour financial infrastructure, and a more supportive macro environment such as interest-rate cuts or a resumption of monetary easing. While Seiler said he does not expect that setup to emerge in the coming months, he added the market is underestimating the pace of institutional crypto adoption and how quickly traditional finance is applying crypto infrastructure to global capital markets.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis said the latest draft of the CLARITY Act under discussion includes an ethics provision requiring President Donald Trump to sell digital assets he holds or place them in a blind trust, and said the measure has emerged as a key sticking point in last-minute negotiations, according to Pitelity Investment. Lummis added many Democratic lawmakers remain reluctant to move the bill forward, citing concerns the provision could weaken a midterm campaign frame centered on Trump’s cryptocurrency-related corruption. Supporters of the bill, meanwhile, have stressed the amendment also includes ethics standards for the president, vice president, members of Congress and the federal judiciary, while adding protections for investors in the event of a crypto exchange bankruptcy and establishing a clearer regulatory framework.
