The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) final framework for digital asset regulation has been met with a positive response from the local industry, CoinDesk reported. The new regulations permit access to global liquidity through overseas exchanges and allow for the circulation of stablecoins issued outside the U.K. However, the rules for licensing overseas branches only state the principle that they must come from a country with an equivalent regulatory framework, without specifying which nations qualify. Industry insiders have pointed out that this lack of predictability and clarity makes it difficult to formulate business plans. Furthermore, the licensing process under the new system is expected to pose a significant burden on businesses.

The New York Times (NYT) reported that about one million investors in U.S. President Donald Trump's meme coin, TRUMP, have lost money, with total losses estimated at $3.81 billion, citing a report from crypto analytics firm Nansen. The NYT noted that Trump himself profited to the tune of $636 million from the coin, part of at least $2.2 billion in earnings from all his business ventures in 2025. He reportedly promoted the coin on his Truth Social account, urging people to buy, and was able to profit regardless of its price movement. According to Nansen's data, 988,905 buyers—or two out of every three—recorded losses, with their cumulative losses totaling $3.81 billion. One investor lamented that the situation was tantamount to a legal scam. According to CoinMarketCap, TRUMP is currently trading at $1.77, up 0.71%, but remains down approximately 97% from its all-time high of $75.35.

Germany's virtual asset market is facing a major turning point as the country's cooperative and savings banks begin launching crypto trading services for retail customers, Bloomberg reported. Julian Schmeing, a partner at local financial consulting firm ZEB, stated that with these two banking sectors entering the market, which collectively serve tens of millions of customers, crypto trading is spreading to a wider audience and is no longer a niche asset. Bloomberg noted that Germany, a financially conservative nation, has long maintained a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies. However, some of Germany's approximately 650 cooperative banks now support trading for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Cardano (ADA) through a platform developed by DZ Bank. Furthermore, DekaBank's virtual asset trading service for about 340 savings banks was launched this year and is scheduled for a phased rollout.

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), said in a recent interview that the blockchain will achieve performance comparable to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) once the Ouroboros Leios upgrade is implemented on the mainnet. According to The Crypto Basic, he claimed the technology could boost Cardano's transactions per second (TPS) by up to 60 times its current rate while maintaining decentralization and security. Hoskinson added that the introduction of Leios will enable Cardano to compete with other major blockchains in processing speed and scalability. Cardano plans to implement Leios on its mainnet this year. According to CoinMarketCap, ADA is currently trading at $0.1772, up 4.85%.

According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, active Bitcoin (BTC) investors are facing an average unrealized loss of about 20%, a level that has not yet reached the severity of past bear markets. Darkfost noted that the True Market Mean (TMM), which represents the average purchase price of active BTC excluding long-dormant supply, is currently acting as a resistance level at around $76,700. He added that the Active Value to Investor Value (AVIV) ratio, which compares the current market value to the average cost basis of the active supply, stands at approximately 0.8, suggesting active investors are down by an average of 20%. In past bear markets, the analyst explained, the AVIV ratio fell to between 0.5 and 0.6, corresponding to average losses of 40% to 50%. He concluded that despite institutional fund inflows and the launch of spot ETFs, Bitcoin still appears to be following its traditional market cycles.

A wallet associated with the smart contract deployer for USDH, the stablecoin of the recently halted Hyperliquid (HYPE) ecosystem, has transferred HYPE worth $15.07 million to Coinbase, according to an analysis by Onchain Lens. Deposits to exchanges are typically interpreted as a precursor to selling. Onchain Lens reported yesterday that the wallet had begun moving some of its HYPE holdings. After receiving 1.01 million HYPE (approximately $72.45 million) through unstaking, it transferred 209,984 HYPE to a new wallet. Subsequently, it deposited 200,000 HYPE to Flowdesk, of which 120,000 HYPE was moved to Bybit and 80,000 HYPE to Hyperliquid.

The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has been negative for 47 consecutive days since May 19, setting a new all-time record for its longest negative streak, according to data from Coinglass. The index, which measures the price difference between BTC on Coinbase and the global average, is a key indicator of U.S. institutional investor fund flows and sentiment. A sustained negative reading suggests that selling pressure is relatively strong in the U.S. market, reflecting a weakening appetite for risk assets, capital outflows, or dampened investor sentiment. Historically, prolonged periods of a negative Coinbase premium have often coincided with U.S. institutional funds exiting the market, leading to analysis that suggests caution is warranted regarding potential short-term price corrections.

The total market capitalization of U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins has fallen by approximately $10 billion since the beginning of the year, with funds appearing to have shifted to the U.S. stock market, according to on-chain analyst EmberCN. Citing data from CoinGecko, the analyst noted that the total supply of USDT has decreased by $5.7 billion year-to-date, from $189.8 billion to its current $184.1 billion, while USDC's supply has dropped by $6.6 billion over the same period. In contrast, the supply of USD1 has grown by $500 million since the start of the year. EmberCN attributed this increase to "subsidy policies" from multiple centralized exchanges that offer interest on the stablecoin.

U.S. venture capital magnate and Bitcoin maximalist Tim Draper told Cointelegraph that an address that deposited 1,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime did not belong to him, stating that he has not touched his Bitcoin holdings. He added that he maintains his forecast that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 within a year. The statement follows reports from multiple on-chain analysis channels earlier today that Draper had transferred 1,000 BTC to the exchange. The claim was based on data from the on-chain platform Arkham (ARKM), which had tagged the address in question with 'Tim Draper?'. Cointelegraph noted that Arkham estimates wallet ownership using AI-based entity inference and that the question mark indicates low confidence in the attribution. Draper is known for purchasing approximately 29,656 BTC in a 2014 U.S. Marshals Service auction of assets seized from the dark web platform Silk Road. At the time, he acquired the coins for $632 each, a total purchase of about $18.7 million.

Fidelity's FBTC and Ark's ARKB absorbed most of these funds, with inflows of $166 million and $91.8 million, respectively.

The token is named after Ansem, an anonymous crypto analyst with approximately 480,000 followers on X.

Crypto analyst Murphy (@Murphychen888) posted on X that the Short-Term Holder Realized Price (STH-RP) around $70,000 is a key pivot point for Bitcoin, suggesting a break above this level could increase the chances of a trend reversal. The analyst set short-term rebound targets for BTC at $64,000, $68,000, and $70,000. He explained that the $64,000 to $68,000 range is where the average purchase price for short-term holders is concentrated. As a result, selling from investors who are at a loss could lead to a repeated pattern of breakouts, resistance, corrections, and re-attempts in this zone. Murphy added that the current rebound is likely to be a weak one, limited to the $64,000-$68,000 level. He believes only a move above $70,000 could be considered a strong rebound.

Brazil's Central Bank has stated that stablecoins should be classified and regulated as electronic money rather than as general cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin.com reported. Fábio Araújo, an advisor at the central bank's Regulation Department (Denor), explained that while assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have inherent scarcity and transferability, stablecoins function as payment instruments based on real-world assets (RWA) and should be treated as monetary financial products. In contrast, the Brazilian Crypto Economy Association (Abcripto), which includes members like Binance, Coinbase, and Tether, has opposed this view. The association argues that such a classification would hinder the adoption of stablecoins by institutions and individuals and is inconsistent with international regulatory trends. Meanwhile, Brazil's Central Bank recently announced stricter supervision standards for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), bringing them in line with regulations for securities firms.
