QCP Capital has analyzed that Bitcoin's recovery to around $64,000 was driven by a drop in Japan's 10-year government bond yield, which eased global liquidity concerns. However, the firm views the move as a temporary relief rally rather than a fundamental solution, citing Japan's high inflation, the weak yen, and an upcoming Bank of Japan (BOJ) meeting. QCP Capital noted that BTC continues to maintain support in the low $60,000s amid heightened U.S.-Iran tensions and the Fed's hawkish stance. The firm projects that institutional demand and ETF inflows will support the market as long as real interest rates and the U.S. dollar do not rise significantly. A stable recovery above $64,000 would increase the likelihood of a rebound in the second half of the year, it added.

Loopring (LRC) has announced that all historical Layer 2 (L2) and DEX data will remain accessible via The Graph (GRT) following the shutdown of its L2 network, and has released a guide for developers. According to the project, while services like explorer.loopring.io, api3.loopring.io, and dev.loopring.io are now offline, past data—including accounts, balances, blocks, transfers, trades, AMM pools, and NFTs—is indexed directly on Ethereum L1 and available through The Graph's decentralized network.

The plaintiffs in a New York lawsuit over the ownership of long-dormant Bitcoin wallets, including some presumed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto, have withdrawn 44 wallets from the case, CryptoSlate reported. The suit, filed by an anonymous plaintiff named Noah Doe and two corporations, saw the number of targeted wallets decrease from 39,069 to 39,025 following a withdrawal notice submitted on July 7. While no reason for the withdrawal was specified, on-chain analysts pointed out that all 44 addresses had transferred BTC after the lawsuit was filed. According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, these addresses held 21,443 BTC at the time of the lawsuit but have since moved 46,334 BTC, worth approximately $2.9 billion at recent prices. About 3,097 BTC remains in the wallets. This activity contradicts the plaintiffs' claim that the wallets were "abandoned assets" due to a lack of on-chain activity. Previously, an anonymous defendant identified as John Doe 33 challenged the suit, claiming to be the rightful owner. The Digital Chamber has also submitted a brief opposing the plaintiffs' claims.

According to Glassnode data reported by CoinDesk, Bitcoin has been trading within the $60,000-$70,000 range for 307 days, marking the third-longest consolidation period within a $10,000 price band in its history. This duration is surpassed only by the consolidation in the $10,000-$20,000 range during the 2018 bear market and the $20,000-$30,000 range in the 2022 bear market. Currently, BTC is trading above its 200-week moving average of approximately $62,873. On-chain data indicates that this price level is a key support zone, as about 6% of the circulating supply last moved between $58,000 and $64,000.

Circle's euro-pegged stablecoin, EURC, has seen its on-chain activity surge to a four-year high following the implementation of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, U.Today reported. According to on-chain analytics platform Santiment, the number of daily active EURC addresses has reached 1,760, with 713 new addresses created, both marking four-year highs. Industry analysts attribute the surge to increased demand for EURC after non-compliant stablecoins were forced out of the European market by MiCA.

Once the law is amended, SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities are expected to begin selling crypto ETFs. The initiative also includes tax reform.

An analysis from Watcher.Guru suggests that XRP is unlikely to replicate its 500% surge from 2024 due to a changed market environment. The media outlet noted that the 2024 rally was largely driven by boosted investor sentiment following President Donald Trump's re-election and expectations of pro-crypto policies. During that period, Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 for the first time amid a strong market-wide bull run, which lifted cryptocurrencies including XRP. However, Watcher.Guru explained that current conditions are different, with heightened geopolitical uncertainty from tensions between the U.S. and Iran dampening investor sentiment. Furthermore, global capital is now concentrated in the artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor sectors, causing other asset classes like cryptocurrencies to underperform.
