Increases in Bitcoin holdings by U.S.-based custodial institutions tend to precede bull markets, according to a CryptoQuant post by analyst Crypto SunMoon. The analyst explained that bull markets have historically begun when the BTC holdings of U.S. institutions, such as exchanges, asset managers, and banks, rise relative to their non-U.S. counterparts. However, these U.S.-based holdings are not currently increasing. Crypto SunMoon suggested that the current range-bound market conditions could persist until a noticeable uptick in BTC accumulation by these U.S. entities occurs.

Lighter (LIT), a decentralized perpetual futures exchange, announced on X that it will formalize a policy to permanently burn all future buybacks. The project has bought back 15.5 million LIT to date, equivalent to 6.3% of the total supply, with the first burn scheduled to occur within the next few weeks. Additionally, Lighter stated that LIT staking rewards, previously funded by the token presale, will now be sourced from its ecosystem allocation, with an initial target yield of 6% annually.

Matt Cole, CEO of the Bitcoin-acquiring company Strive (ASST), announced on X that he is requesting market feedback on whether to temporarily pause the issuance of the company's preferred stock, SATA. Cole explained that short interest in SATA has increased by approximately 1 million shares over the past 30 days, alongside a rise in stock borrowing costs. He noted that while the goal is for SATA to maintain its $100 par value, some investors believe this value is acting as a price ceiling. According to Cole, pausing or adjusting the issuance could lead to greater short-term volatility but may be positive for the long-term stability of ASST and SATA. SATA reached an all-time low of $80.50 on June 26 but closed at $91.05 on June 30. Recently, concerns have spread throughout the market regarding companies like Strive, Strategy (MSTR), and Bitmine (BMNR), which have adopted a model of using dividend-focused preferred stock to fund cryptocurrency purchases. This model is designed to issue and sell new shares to buy crypto when the stock trades above its par value, and to increase the dividend yield to maintain the par value when it trades below. However, the prevailing concern is that amid a crypto market downturn and insufficient demand, these companies could exhaust their financial resources and be forced to sell their crypto holdings to cover preferred stock dividends. While the individual companies have dismissed this "death spiral" hypothesis, they have not clearly stated their position on the potential sale of their crypto assets.

Over 1,700 UK crypto investors have filed a $200 million lawsuit against Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, Reuters reported. The plaintiffs allege that Binance violated the Financial Services and Markets Act by illegally selling leveraged products both before and after the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned their sale in 2021. In response, Binance stated that it has complied with its legal obligations and will actively defend against the suit. The outlet noted that in 2023, Binance pleaded guilty and agreed to a $4.3 billion fine after being sued by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for operating an illegal derivatives exchange. The outcome of the UK court's decision could set a precedent for defining the scope of responsibility for exchanges.
