It is physically impossible for the CLARITY Act to be passed into law by July 4, according to Eleanor Terrett, host of the crypto policy outlet CryptoInAmerica. Terrett explained on X that for the bill to pass by that date, several issues would need to be resolved within two weeks. These include establishing an ethics provision acceptable to both Republicans and Democrats, completing the merger process with the Agriculture Committee's version of the bill, securing at least 60 votes in favor, and passing the legislation through both the House and Senate. Her comments follow earlier reports from crypto media outlets like CryptoSlate, which also noted that the bill had hit a snag ahead of a full Senate vote.

Siren (SIREN), a token that faced allegations of price manipulation several months ago, has plummeted more than 55% over the past 24 hours amid continued on-chain selling pressure. On-chain analyst EmberCN noted that addresses believed to belong to the Siren team recently sold 360 million SIREN for over 48.7 million USDT. The analyst added that these wallets still hold over 319 million SIREN and warned that another move involving price manipulation could be imminent, as realizing such large profits through on-chain activity is typically difficult for a token of this nature. According to CoinMarketCap, SIREN is currently trading at $0.05262, down 56.44% over the last 24 hours.

With the temporary grace period for the European Union's (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation set to end this July, about 75% of existing registered companies are at risk of being forced out of the market, CryptoSlate reported.

The market for cryptocurrency-based collectibles, where physical Pokémon cards are tokenized for trading while being stored in a vault, is growing rapidly, Decrypt reported. Gacha, or random draw, sales on the top seven platforms reached $230 million last month, a more than sevenfold increase from $32 million a year ago. This growth is attributed to the game-like format of randomly drawing cards, which satisfies both speculative and collector demand. As the broader trading card market is projected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030, blockchain technology is emerging as a key factor supporting this demand. The appeal of blockchain integration stems from its ability to eliminate counterfeit risks and provide a simpler trading environment compared to traditional platforms like eBay.

The institutional adoption of Ethereum (ETH) is entering a serious phase, Etherealize co-founder Vivek Raman said in an interview with CoinDesk. He explained that large financial institutions are now starting to treat public blockchains as real infrastructure rather than just new technology, moving beyond the proof-of-concept stage to actual utilization. Raman emphasized that this shift is expanding beyond stablecoins to include tokenized assets. He attributed the current disconnect with ETH's price to a timing issue related to institutional cycles, suggesting that the price will be re-evaluated once the infrastructure is complete and assets begin moving on-chain. Ethereum's success, he added, will ultimately be proven by its number of actual users, sustainability, and utility, rather than its price alone.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) paid out $250,000 in bonuses for a UFC event at the White House using its proprietary stablecoin, USD1, The Block reported. The stablecoin has grown to a circulating supply and market capitalization of $4.4 billion. WLFI is actively seeking to enter the regulatory fold, having applied to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a bank.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Truth Social today that the recent agreement with Iran will bring peace and security to the entire Middle East. He added that while many past presidents had tried and failed to achieve peace with Iran, the strait would reopen upon the signing of the deal this Friday, June 19, allowing traffic to resume for mine-clearing operations and for oil to flow again.

Bitcoin is facing its most unfavorable U.S. bond yield environment since its inception, according to crypto analyst Darkfost. He noted on X that while long-term Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) have been higher in the past, the current market is severely constrained by liquidity issues, with a 60% probability of a rate hike priced in for this year. In such an environment, it is difficult for investors to make additional investments in risk assets, Darkfost explained. He added that periods of rising bond yields have historically coincided with slowing momentum for BTC. With Treasury yields currently fluctuating between 4.5% and 5% and approaching an inflection point, risk assets are less attractive than U.S. short- and long-term government bonds. An improvement in the situation would require a rate cut and restored confidence in holding bonds, which will depend on the policy decisions and economic outlook of the Trump administration, he said.

An Iranian vice foreign minister has presented a four-point agenda for the 60-day negotiations with the United States.

Aerodrome (AERO), the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base network, is set to overhaul its liquidity incentive structure in July by introducing a real-time, prediction-based system called Predictive Allocation, CoinDesk reported. Unlike the current model, which provides incentives to pools that have already generated fees, the new system will proactively allocate incentives by predicting where future demand will occur. Participants who make successful predictions will receive greater fee rewards. According to developer Dromos Labs, the new system aims to maximize capital efficiency, attract participation from institutions and AI agents, and expand the exchange's share of spot market trading volume.

Three U.S. spot ETFs for Hyperliquid (HYPE) have attracted $161 million in net inflows in their first month of trading, Cryptoslate reported. Net inflows were recorded daily, with the exception of a $29 million outflow from Bitwise's BHYP. As Hyperliquid blocks access for U.S. users, these ETFs represent the sole method for them to gain exposure to HYPE. The platform's futures trading volume over the last 30 days reached $240.5 billion, with annualized fees surpassing $1 billion. Hyperliquid uses 99% of its fee revenue for HYPE buybacks, making the value of holding the token comparable to having an equity stake in the exchange. However, the outlet noted that there is a risk of a sharp price decline if Hyperliquid's trading volume were to fall below $150 billion.
