Ban on Mining Takes Effect in Moscow Region and Kursk Oblast

A ban on cryptocurrency mining has come into effect in Moscow, the Moscow region, and eight border districts of Russia's Kursk region. The decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on July 31. In Kursk, the affected areas include the Belovsky, Bolshe-Soldatsky, Glushkovsky, Korenevsky, Lgov, Rylsky, Sudzhansky, and Khomutovsky districts, as well as the city of Lgov. The prohibition will remain in force until December 31, 2032. Moscow authorities have stated that mining consumes a significant amount of energy without benefiting the economy. In the Kursk region, the restriction is attributed to an energy deficit. A similar ban is already in place in 13 other energy-deficient Russian regions, including Irkutsk Oblast, Buryatia, and Zabaykalsky Krai.

Kerbrat from Robinhood Promotes Tokenization While Memecoins Dominate Its Tokenless L2

Robinhood Crypto's senior vice president, Johann Kerbrat, has emphasized the company's focus on building the technical network infrastructure for tokenization, calling it "just the beginning," rather than on launching tokens. The centerpiece is Robinhood Chain, a tokenless, EVM-compatible layer-2 network built on Arbitrum technology, which settles on Ethereum and uses ETH for gas fees. The network's primary offering is stock tokens, providing 24/7 blockchain-based exposure to companies like Nvidia and Apple for users outside the U.S., though these tokens confer no legal shareholder rights. Despite its focus on tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), currently valued at around $12.81 million, memecoins overwhelmingly dominate trading volume on Robinhood Chain. Research indicates over 99% of trading volume comes from memecoins, with the network's mascot-inspired token, $CASHCAT, surging over 5,500% in a week. Kerbrat, who recently called assets without utility "not a long-term purpose," acknowledged the chain is also "great for memes." The network has seen significant growth since launch. DeFiLlama data shows a Total Value Locked (TVL) of approximately $536 million, a stablecoin market cap of around $634 million, and 24-hour DEX trading volume of about $440 million. Notably, Ethena's USDe stablecoin has grown to constitute nearly 43% of the network's stablecoins. In mid-July, the chain was processing over 7 million daily transactions, surpassing Coinbase's Base. Robinhood is currently covering gas fees for eligible wallet users on swaps, bridges, and perps, but this subsidy is set to end in September. Separately, Robinhood reported Q2 cryptocurrency transaction revenue of $100 million, a 38% year-over-year decline, while its prediction markets generated $156 million, exceeding crypto revenue for the first time.

Analyst Claims Dogecoin Could See a Surge! 'Similar to the One in 2022...'

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez asserts that technical signals on Dogecoin's ($DOGE) monthly chart point to a strong upward trend, noting similarities to the price structure from August 2022 when DOGE surged 145% in one month. He highlights that the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator flashed a buy signal last month, suggesting a potential trend reversal. The current chart shows a forming inverted hammer, the buy signal, and a doji candle—a pattern that preceded the 2022 rally. Martinez adds that blockchain data shows large investors (whales) have accumulated over 430 million DOGE in the past week, supporting the bullish outlook. The key resistance level to watch is $0.0813; a sustained close above it could signal a continued uptrend. If broken, the next significant resistance, according to URPD data, is at $0.177.

Galaxy Reduces the Probability of CLARITY Act Passing to 10%

Galaxy Digital has slashed its odds for the U.S. Stablecoin Clarity Act (CLARITY) passing in 2026 to just 10%, down from 75% in May. According to Galaxy's Head of Firmwide Research, Alex Thorn, unresolved political issues—including ethics rules for officials involved in the crypto industry and banking sector pushback over stablecoin yield provisions—pose significant hurdles. With the Senate reconvening on September 14th, there will only be about two to three weeks for passage. Thorn warns the bill would need to dominate the entire legislative session to succeed, especially if an initial procedural vote isn't held immediately upon lawmakers' return. The CLARITY Act, which aims to establish the first U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets, cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May but faces opposition from most Democrats and banks. They argue it would let crypto companies offer yields on stablecoins without meeting the same requirements as banks. Despite a June push from over 200 crypto firms and organizations urging its passage, the legislation's prospects have dramatically diminished.

Galaxy lowers CLARITY Act odds to 10%

Galaxy Digital has reduced its estimate for the passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act in 2026 to just 10%, citing significant unresolved political issues and a tight Senate schedule. According to the firm's research head Alex Thorn, the Senate, reconvening in September, would have only about two to three weeks to pass the bill, requiring it to dominate nearly the entire session. Key hurdles include debates over ethics rules for government officials in crypto and banking industry pushback against stablecoin yield provisions. Galaxy has progressively lowered its odds from 75% in May. The CLARITY Act, which aims to create the first U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets, passed a Senate committee in May but faces opposition from most Democrats and banks who argue it gives crypto firms an unfair advantage.

Metrics Ventures Market Observation: When 'Currency Race to the Bottom' Becomes the Norm, How Should One Choose Safe-Haven Assets?

Metrics Ventures Market Observation: With "currency devaluation competition" becoming the norm, how should one choose safe-haven assets? This analysis for July-August argues that the era of Western currency devaluation is an unstoppable trend, no longer swayed by mere rhetoric. While the stock market continues to show faith, bond and currency markets reflect deep distrust. Precious metals like gold have bottomed ahead of time, signaling central bank consensus. Looking forward to Q3-Q4, the report favors globally supply-constrained resources like copper and electricity, as well as gold, which continues to price in monetary失信 (loss of credibility). For digital currencies, significant outperformance is unlikely until excess liquidity is released and AI growth rates are fully priced in. Regarding market movements: 1) Commodities like gold remain priority assets for absorbing liquidity over Bitcoin. 2) The bullish trend for RMB-denominated assets (e.g., STAR 50 Index) remains intact. 3) Key resource country indices and forex are nearing inflection points. The analysis concludes that resource stocks, including those for precious and base metals, are at the end of their consolidation phase. Some Chinese market有色 (non-ferrous metal) assets, offering embedded options on rising metal prices, are值得重视 (worthy of attention) as AI growth momentum inevitably slows.

Multicoin Exits Forward, the Largest Solana Treasury Company, After Just 8 Months of Joint Establishment

Investment firm Multicoin Capital has fully exited its position in Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, according to SEC filings. Multicoin, alongside Galaxy Digital and Jump Crypto, was a founding investor when Forward launched its Solana treasury strategy in 2025, raising $1.65 billion. The exit, completed via a series of transactions over recent months, transfers the remaining stake to entities controlled by Kyle Samani, Multicoin's co-founder and former managing partner who resigned in January but remains Forward's Chairman. The divestment follows a public divergence in strategy between Samani and Multicoin, highlighted by a dispute over support for a competing blockchain initiative in July. Despite Multicoin's institutional exit, Forward continues to execute its core Solana strategy, significantly increasing its SOL holdings throughout Q3 2026 and repurchasing its own shares. The company reported a net loss for the quarter due to SOL price declines but is now seeking to diversify its revenue sources beyond direct SOL exposure through potential acquisitions and investments within the Solana ecosystem.

Ireland plans industry standards for illicit crypto use

The Irish government has published its first comprehensive National Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Financing of Terrorism and Countering Proliferation Financing Strategy. It outlines new measures to regulate digital assets and crypto-asset service providers to prevent their use for illicit activities. Key proposals include introducing Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing obligations for crypto service providers, requiring enhanced checks on transfers to and from private crypto wallets, and stricter due diligence for dealings with overseas crypto firms. The strategy also plans to address industry standards concerning the acceptance of crypto-related funds for gambling. This follows a recent national risk assessment on crypto, with Ireland aiming to implement these industry standards by the second half of 2027. The legislation aligns with the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework.

Trump Crypto Project Delays Launch of Maldives-Linked Token

The cryptocurrency project backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), has postponed plans to launch a token linked to the construction of a luxury resort in the Maldives, according to Bloomberg sources. The token sale, initially slated for 2027, is now delayed reportedly due to disrupted transportation in the region from the U.S. war with Iran. The project involved tokenizing investor income from the Trump International Hotel & Resort, a planned 100-villa complex set to open in 2030. The token was designed to offer returns from the resort's revenues. The delay's timing is unclear. World Liberty Financial is also exploring tokenization in other sectors like oil and gas. Its native token, $WLFI, showed little price movement on the news, trading around $0.05, down 88% from its all-time high in September 2025. Trump and his sons have launched several crypto ventures, including meme coins and mining. Trump reported earning about $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025. However, their public projects, like mining firm American Bitcoin and Trump Media and Technology Group, reported significant losses in Q2 2026.

Dartmouth College Endowment's Crypto Asset Value Declined by $2 Million Due to Market Downturn

The endowment fund of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution valued at $9 billion, saw the value of its cryptocurrency investments decline by over $2 million in the second quarter of 2026. According to a filing with the U.S. SEC, the endowment held approximately $12.4 million worth of shares in Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF, Grayscale's Ethereum Staking ETF, and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust as of June 30. This marked a roughly 15% decrease from the $14.6 million reported on March 31, a drop largely mirroring market declines for the underlying assets. Notably, in 2025, Dartmouth was among the first major U.S. universities to announce crypto allocations in its endowment portfolio. Separately, Harvard University's $57 billion endowment reportedly liquidated its entire $87 million position in BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust as of March 31, though it has not yet disclosed its Q2 2026 holdings.
