July 14, CNN reported that Trump recently said the U.S. might charge a 20% security transit fee for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. But just last month, Secretary of State Rubio called charging for this critical waterway 'simply not feasible.' During a visit to three Gulf states in late June, Rubio repeatedly stated that the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and should not impose transit fees on ships. He said, 'Whether you call it a fee, a toll, or a donation, if you have to pay to go through, it's a toll.' He also questioned how such a fee mechanism would be enforced: 'What if a ship refuses to pay? This isn't like a road toll; it's not just a ticket. If you open fire on a ship and sink it, other ships will also be afraid to go through. Such a mechanism is not only unwise but also simply not feasible.' Previously, Iran had stated it would not charge 'transit fees' for the Strait of Hormuz but said it might charge fees for related services provided.

On July 14, Dragonfly partner Haseeb tweeted in response to OpenZeppelin co-founder Manuel Aráoz's pessimistic view on DeFi security, stating that with models such as GLM 5.2, Fable, and GPT 5.6 already online and being used by attackers, the anticipated 'hacker doomsday' for DeFi has not materialized. Chart data shows that, based on current year-to-date data and running rate, the annualized stolen amount from DeFi in 2026 is approximately $1.89 billion, with a cumulative stolen amount of about $986 million this year, lower than the 2025 level and still within the historical range. Haseeb believes that the deeper current change is that while the number of hacker attacks has increased, the scale of individual attacks has decreased faster. Attackers are more often targeting small protocols and abandoned projects, while large protocols have undergone more security hardening, so overall fund security has not significantly deteriorated.

On July 14, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 639 into law last week. The legislation, known as The Blockchain Basic Laws, provides protections for cryptocurrency innovation and usage in the state and allows for the establishment of a special blockchain dispute docket in the superior court. Last year, New Hampshire passed a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill, enabling the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of public funds in Bitcoin, as well as precious metals like gold and silver. The state's Executive Council last week rejected a proposal that would have allowed the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to facilitate Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds.

Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko posted on github about Ethereum merge timeline that there is no official date for The Merge yet. A date will only be set once client teams are confident that the software implementations have been thoroughly tested and are bug-free. Tim Beiko also said that as of April 2022, all client teams have in-progress implementations for The Merge, which have been tested by test suites, the launch of new testnets and shadow forks. Shadow forks, run against both existing testnets and the Ethereum mainnet, have revealed implementation issues in clients. Teams are now fixing these and regularly re-running shadow forks to test fixes.
