On July 15, ECB Governing Council member Nagel stated that the European Central Bank is closely monitoring energy price trends following the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, which has led to increased geopolitical uncertainty. He noted that the past few weeks have been 'filled with hope and disappointment.' The renewed outbreak of war between the U.S. and Iran highlights the ongoing volatility of the current situation. Nagel remarked, 'The trend of energy prices is a key factor in determining the future inflation outlook. Monetary policy will remain highly vigilant.' The ECB is set to hold a policy meeting from July 22 to 23 and will soon enter a pre-meeting blackout period. The market widely expects that the bank will keep interest rates unchanged at that time. However, investors still anticipate that policymakers will raise rates again later this year to curb inflationary pressures triggered by the Iran conflict. Nagel emphasized that, following the policy decision made in June, current borrowing costs are at an 'appropriate' level. He stated, 'From a monetary policy perspective, it remains wise to continue a cautious approach, but decisive action will be taken if necessary.' (Jinshi)

On July 15, crypto market analyst gaah cited CryptoQuant data indicating that the ratio of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) to short-term holders (STH) has risen to a 30-month high. This metric measures the distribution of Bitcoin supply between long-term and short-term holders. The analysis points out that extreme highs in this metric typically do not occur at market euphoria peaks but rather during accumulation phases. Historically, bull market tops often happen when this metric begins to decline from high levels, rather than when it reaches new highs. Currently, with BTC prices still approximately 50% lower than the previous historical peak, long-term holders continue to absorb circulating market supply.

On July 15, CoinPost reported that the Japanese Senate held a plenary session on July 15 and passed a bill aimed at amending the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Payment Services Act, redefining crypto assets from a means of payment to financial products. Key revisions include: renaming crypto asset exchange operators to crypto asset trading operators, increasing the maximum prison sentence for unregistered sales from under 3 years to under 10 years, and raising fines from under 3 million yen to under 10 million yen; the introduction of regulations against insider trading in crypto assets, prohibiting trading based on undisclosed significant information; requiring specific crypto asset issuers to disclose information regularly each year. In terms of taxation, the system will shift from a maximum comprehensive tax rate of 55% to a separate declaration tax (approximately 20%), allowing losses to be carried forward for 3 years, with implementation expected to begin on January 1, 2028. The proposed amendments will also establish a framework to support the creation of cryptocurrency ETFs.

According to Decipher, The FBI is warning U.S. organizations of the BlackCat ransomware-as-a-service, which it said has compromised at least 60 entities globally as of March. BlackCat (also known as ALPHV) first appeared in late November and has since then been attacking targets in multiple countries, including the U.S., Australia and India. In a Wednesday Flash Alert, the FBI said it is seeking any further information on the ransomware, including IP logs showing callbacks from foreign IP addresses, Bitcoin or Monero addresses and transaction IDs, communications with the threat actors, decryptor files or benign samples of encrypted files. The FBI said that BlackCat is the first ransomware group to successfully infect dozens of targets using Rust, which is a popular programming language that is considered to be more secure. The agency also pointed to a connection between BlackCat and the BlackMatter (a potential partial reincarnation of the DarkSide group) ransomware groups, which researchers have previously noted. “BlackCat-affiliated threat actors typically request ransom payments of several million dollars in Bitcoin and Monero but have accepted ransom payments below the initial ransom demand amount,” according to the FBI in the Flash Alert. “Many of the developers and money launderers for BlackCat/ALPHV are linked to Darkside/Blackmatter, indicating they have extensive networks and experience with ransomware operations.”
