The UK government plans to defer Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on qualifying crypto asset lending and liquidity pool transactions from April 6, 2027. Under the new HMRC framework, these transactions will be treated on a "no gain, no loss" basis. This means tax will typically be deferred until the assets are economically disposed of, rather than being triggered when cryptoassets are lent or deposited. The measure aims to align tax treatment with economic substance and reduce administrative burdens. It covers single crypto asset lending/borrowing and Automated Market Making (AMM) arrangements. The policy follows years of industry consultation and is expected to affect around 700,000 individuals.

Derive (DRV) surged approximately 40% following news of its upcoming listing on the South Korean exchange Upbit, with trading in KRW, BTC, and USDT pairs set to begin on July 14th. The announcement triggered aggressive buying, raising the price from $0.1147 to a peak of $0.19, though it later settled near $0.1471. Market capitalization reached roughly $109.64 million, and 24-hour trading volume spiked by over 1744% to $9.38 million. Technical indicators like the RSI hitting 84.43 prompted early profit-taking, suggesting overheated momentum. The key challenge for DRV is to prove sustained demand beyond the initial listing hype. Maintaining support above $0.131 will be crucial to confirm continued buyer interest, while metrics like holder growth, stable volumes, and exchange flows will determine if the rally can evolve into a stronger, long-term market foundation or follow a typical post-listing reversal pattern.

MemeCore [M] has surged 16%, making it the only top-100 cryptocurrency by market cap posting double-digit gains. Notably, this price increase coincides with a significant drop in its social media "mindshare," suggesting retail traders have not yet fully engaged, which may leave room for further upside. Investor sentiment remains bullish. The rally is primarily driven by spot market buying, with data showing a negative netflow of $32,000 from exchanges as investors move tokens into personal wallets—a pattern often associated with longer-term holding. While U.S. investors on Kraken have been net sellers, global buying interest persists. In the derivatives market, traders also lean bullish, with positive funding rates and increasing open interest indicating expectations for continued price appreciation. Overall, the combination of strong spot accumulation, positive perpetual market flows, and subdued retail social media buzz presents a mixed but cautiously optimistic picture for MemeCore's near-term trajectory.

Pyth Network is expanding beyond crypto into traditional finance, with its native token PYTH approaching $0.05. The network has integrated institutional bond-market data from providers like Fenics Market Data, OpenYield, and Tradeweb, covering areas such as U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds. This move aims to create a unified market data standard alongside its existing equities and futures data. Concurrently, Pyth is growing its presence in Asia, adding coverage for major Hong Kong stocks and a dedicated Seoul price feed. This expansion addresses regional demand for timely market data, as highlighted by recent volatility in South Korean markets, and can be packaged into paid products. The market has responded positively. The PYTH token has risen from its June lows, trading near $0.049 with its RSI at 67, indicating strong buying interest but nearing overbought conditions. A break above $0.05 could target $0.055, while rejection might pull the price back toward $0.045.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) price rallied nearly 5% in 24 hours, with Open Interest up 17% and trading volume doubling to $71.1 million, signaling improved short-term sentiment. However, the broader trend remains bearish, with price action confined within a downtrend since May. The rally has reached a key local supply zone at $0.63-$0.65, which previously rejected bulls in mid-June. While the RSI indicates upward momentum, declining On-Balance Volume (OBV) suggests weak buying pressure. Traders are advised to maintain a bearish bias unless VIRTUAL can decisively break and hold above $0.65 as support, which could open a path toward $1.04-$1.19. Until then, a rejection at this resistance level is expected.
