Industry News
Binance founder CZ stated that before its withdrawal, Binance's MiCA license application in Greece fully complied with regulatory requirements and was close to approval, but the process was ultimately disrupted by "external political factors." In an interview, CZ mentioned that several EU countries had expressed interest in the license, with even some degree of "competitive pursuit," but regulatory progress was ultimately affected by non-regulatory factors, leading to the application's withdrawal. Binance formally withdrew its Greek application last week and stated it would pursue MiCA authorization in other EU member states. Regarding market rumors linking it to high-level EU political figures, CZ said he had seen no verifiable documents, only similar claims online, and did not confirm them.

People & Voices
TD Cowen: Passage of CLARITY Act Before Midterm Elections Far from Certain
Investment bank TD Cowen stated that the passage of the CLARITY Act before the November midterm elections is far from certain, still facing significant political and policy hurdles. The Senate is expected to begin considering the bill the week of July 13, with July 24 being a key deadline, as the House will leave before the August recess. Jaret Seiberg, managing director of TD Cowen's Washington Research Group, questioned whether the bill could be approved before the fall elections if it fails to pass by then.
Tom Lee: Crypto is a High-Volatility Asset; Macro Headwinds Pressuring BTC and ETH
Tom Lee stated on X that cryptocurrency is a high-volatility asset class, and certain macro headwinds are currently pressuring Bitcoin and Ethereum. Current headwinds include market expectations of Fed rate hikes, the uncertain status of the CLARITY Act, AI FOMO, and impacts from private credit on capital flows. He also noted that positive factors for the crypto market remain, including tokenization being a megatrend, crypto being downstream of AI, money becoming digital and software-driven, and the current extremely poor market sentiment possibly nearing a "pain peak."
Glassnode: Bitcoin Stabilizes Near $60K, Market Sentiment Overall Defensive
On-chain data analytics firm Glassnode released its latest weekly market summary, indicating that Bitcoin has temporarily stabilized around the $60,000 level. However, market-wide defensive characteristics are prominent, and bullish confidence is lacking. The spot market is in a range-bound consolidation with slightly increased trading activity, but capital continues to see net selling. Market liquidity is characterized by distribution, with no signs of large-scale accumulation. The derivatives market continues to deleverage, with traders prioritizing downside hedge protection and directional long positioning appetite remaining low. Funding rates are persistently low, and overall risk appetite is weak. Institutional pressure is significant, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs overall falling into unrealized loss territory, capital continuing to see net outflows, and a low willingness among institutions to increase positions.
