Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget announced on X it will terminate services for residents of Japan. The exchange stated the decision was made after a comprehensive review of Japanese regulations, adding that account restrictions will be implemented in phases. Users will be notified sequentially via email about necessary asset management and follow-up procedures, it said. The move follows a warning issued by Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) in November 2024 to unregistered exchanges, including Bitget, Bybit, KuCoin, and MEXC. In February of last year, the FSA requested the removal of the exchanges' apps from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Bybit also subsequently withdrew from the Japanese market following the measures by local authorities. Bitget does not hold a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in South Korea and is not registered with the country's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

According to crypto analyst Murphy (@Murphychen888), Bitcoin long-term holders, defined as those holding for over 155 days, have moved more than 65,000 BTC daily over the past two days. The analyst suggested this could be a risk-off maneuver driven by uncertainty around monetary policy and geopolitical events. Murphy noted on X that of the total volume moved, approximately 14,000 BTC was deposited into exchanges, including a 2,628 BTC transfer from Trump Media (DJT) to Crypto.com. He attributed the activity to several factors: the possibility of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike, prolonged conflict in the Middle East, and re-emerging inflation variables. Other potential risks cited include concerns over high valuations in the U.S. stock market's AI sector and a concentration of yen carry trade positions. If these large-scale movements from long-term holders continue, it could create downward pressure on the broader market, Murphy added.

The combined July trading volume for prediction markets Polymarket, Polymarket US, and Kalshi reached a new monthly record of $50.6 billion, according to The Block. Polymarket US saw its volume increase by 54% month-over-month to $5 billion, while the global Polymarket platform's volume decreased by 26% to $7.9 billion.

The CLARITY Act was not included in the U.S. Senate’s voting schedule released on Aug. 3, lowering the chances that Senate leaders will bring the bill to the floor before the chamber’s recess scheduled for Aug. 10, according to CryptoSlate. The U.S. Senate is set to convene at 7:00 p.m. UTC today, but will only hold a cloture vote related to H.R.6500 rather than take up the CLARITY Act, the report said. Under Senate procedure, the CLARITY Act would still need to go through the scheduling process from a cloture petition to a vote, although lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties could shorten the timeline by petitioning to accelerate the process or reaching unanimous consent. Still, prospects for passage remain unclear as seven Democratic senators seen as potential negotiating partners are calling for further talks, saying the publicly released CLARITY Act draft is insufficient. The bill needs 60 votes to pass, meaning Republicans would need support from at least seven Democrats if all Republican senators vote in favor.

Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn said a fourth apparent theft wave targeting Coldcard hardware wallet users is underway. Thorn said a pattern over the past roughly two hours and 30 minutes showed 388.93 BTC moving through 218 transactions from 462 victim addresses to 216 new addresses. Some of the transactions are still in the mempool, Thorn said, adding users may still be able to protect funds by using RBF (Replace-By-Fee) to attach higher fees. Thorn also said all UTXOs used in the transactions were created with flawed Coldcard firmware, while transaction frequency was about 45 times higher than before the incident, indicating a high likelihood of an additional attack. Earlier, more than 1,359.88 BTC was stolen due to a random number generation flaw in Coldcard, and reports also emerged that some devices were bricked and failed to boot after an emergency firmware release.

Arthur Hayes transferred 2.5 million USDC to Galaxy Digital and received 1,337 ETH, Onchain Lens reported. He also deposited the same amount of USDC with FalconX, where the transaction was still pending, according to Onchain Lens.

The spot CVD chart refers to an order-book analysis chart for the BTC/USDT spot trading pair. The upper section shows the volume heatmap, while the lower section represents cumulative volume delta, or CVD. - The volume heatmap tracks trading volume at each price level. The background color becomes brighter when the price stays in a specific range for an extended period or moves sharply. Areas closer to brighter colors may act as support or resistance levels. - The cumulative volume delta indicator in the lower section reflects buy and sell orders by order size. As buy orders increase, the line in the corresponding color rises. The yellow line represents orders between $100 and $1,000, while the brown line represents large orders between $1 million and $10 million.

Former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Commissioner Chris Giancarlo criticized the crypto industry’s fixation on the CLARITY Act, saying crypto innovation and growth will continue even without the bill, according to BeInCrypto. Giancarlo said the legislation would be welcome, but noted there is still no internet-specific law even 30 years after internet innovation began. Giancarlo added that a blockchain-based financial transition will eventually take place even if the CLARITY Act does not pass. Meanwhile, with the U.S. Senate’s schedule now set ahead of its recess scheduled for Aug. 10, a decision on whether to place the CLARITY Act on the Senate floor agenda appears likely within the next 72 hours.
