The Bank of Korea (BOK) has warned that shocks in the cryptocurrency market could spill over into traditional stock and foreign exchange markets as the connection between them strengthens. This assessment was included in the central bank's Financial Stability Report for the first half of 2026, released today, Kookmin Ilbo reported. The BOK analyzed that the potential for contagion from crypto to traditional finance is growing due to a more diverse investor base and evolving market structures. The report noted that the immediate impact on South Korea's financial markets is currently limited, as spot and futures crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are not yet permitted and corporate participation is restricted. However, the bank cautioned that if institutional and corporate involvement expands in the future, a significant price shock in crypto assets could spread to the nation's stock and foreign exchange markets.

Kristin Smith, CEO of the Solana Policy Institute, has urged for the passage of a U.S. bill (H.R. 9175) that would defer taxation on cryptocurrency mining and staking rewards until they are sold. Writing on X, she stated that after the Genius Act and the Clarity Act, tax clarity is now needed. Smith argued that under the current system, rewards from mining or staking can be taxed immediately upon receipt, but the proposed bill would allow the option to defer taxation until the point of sale. She contended that since the rewards are newly created tokens and not cash, taxing them before they are sold creates the burden of paying taxes without any realized income. Regarding an amendment by Representative Steven Horsford that would limit the tax deferral period to five years, Smith described it as a provision that would force taxation regardless of whether the assets are actually sold. She added that the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) also assessed that the five-year cap would have a negligible effect on tax revenue while creating a substantial burden for taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Bitcoin is reacting negatively to the strong U.S. dollar, but a market bottom is not far off, according to an analysis by 10x Research posted on X.

He said that 10x Research's own analysis showed the indicator flashed a buy signal in early March and a sell signal at the end of April. Thielen added that taking into account the dollar index's movements, global liquidity, and various macroeconomic factors, he anticipates a BTC bottom is near.

Bitcoin is moving sideways after failing to meet the conditions for a bullish turn, CryptoPotato reported, citing a Bitfinex analysis. According to Bitfinex, on-chain data indicates that neither buyers nor sellers have a firm grip on the market, suggesting Bitcoin has lost direction rather than entered a sustained bear market. The price remains in a range between $62,500 and $72,000. The report noted that key conditions for a short-term rally, such as spot ETF inflows and a shift to negative funding rates, have not materialized. While ETFs have seen net outflows, the decline in trading volume is not severe enough to confirm a bear market. Bitfinex added that for Bitcoin to defend its support levels, the U.S. Federal Reserve must maintain its stance against inflation. Structurally, Bitcoin is trading below the average purchase price of active investors, with the $68,500 to $72,000 range acting as a break-even sell-off zone. The exchange projects that BTC will continue to fluctuate between $60,000 and $70,000, or potentially narrow to a tighter range of $62,000 to $64,000. Key levels to watch are the $54,000 support line, the $72,000 break-even line, and the $77,200 short-term holder resistance level.

CryptoQuant's recommendation that MicroStrategy (MSTR) halt its Bitcoin purchases came two weeks too late, BeInCrypto reported. The day before, CryptoQuant had advised MicroStrategy to increase its cash reserves, citing depleted dollar reserves and rising dividend obligations. However, BeInCrypto noted that MicroStrategy had already shifted its focus to securing cash two weeks prior. Last week, the company purchased only 520 BTC and allocated $300 million of the $355.5 million raised from a common stock sale to its reserves. While CryptoQuant argued that MicroStrategy needs to boost its reserves to $2.8 billion for its preferred stock (STRC) to regain its $100 par value, BeInCrypto countered that the company has other options, such as issuing more shares, without having to sell its Bitcoin holdings. The report concluded that the pace of MicroStrategy's capital-raising efforts will be a key issue for the market going forward.

The CLARITY Act is now facing opposition from law enforcement agencies, following similar pushback from religious groups and labor unions, Eleanor Terrett reported. A coalition of four major U.S. police and law enforcement agencies expressed strong concerns in a joint letter to White House officials. The group warned that a specific provision, Section 604 of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), would create serious gaps in surveillance, significantly undermining their ability to track and prosecute illicit activities involving digital assets. They also noted that the bill fails to establish safeguards commonly applied to traditional financial institutions and could exempt certain virtual asset participants from specific KYC and AML reporting requirements.
