Industry News
Binance founder CZ stated that Binance's MiCA license application in Greece was fully compliant with regulatory requirements and close to receiving approval before it was withdrawn, but the process was ultimately disrupted due to "intervention by external political factors." In an interview, CZ mentioned that several EU countries had expressed interest in hosting the license, even showing a degree of "competitive pursuit." However, the final regulatory progress was affected by factors outside the regulatory scope, leading to the withdrawal of the application. Binance formally withdrew its Greek application last week and stated it would pursue MiCA authorization in other EU member states. Regarding market rumors about connections with high-level EU politicians, CZ said he had not seen any verifiable documents but had only encountered claims online, which he could not confirm.

People & Voices
TD Cowen: 'Clarity Act' Passage 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 and still faces 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. The House will adjourn for the August recess before that. Jaret Seiberg, Managing Director of TD Cowen's Washington Research Group, questioned whether the bill could pass before the fall elections if it fails to pass by then.
Tom Lee: Cryptocurrency is a High-Volatility Asset, Macro Headwinds Are Suppressing BTC and ETH
Tom Lee stated on X platform that cryptocurrency is a class of high-volatility assets, and some current macro headwinds are putting pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Current headwinds include market expectations of Fed rate hikes, the uncertain status of the CLARITY Act, AI FOMO, and the impact of private credit on capital flows. He also mentioned that positive factors still exist in the crypto market, including tokenization being a super trend, cryptocurrencies being downstream of AI, money becoming digital and software-like, and current market sentiment being extremely poor, potentially approaching "peak pain."
Glassnode: Bitcoin Stabilizes Around $60,000, Market Sentiment Largely Defensive
On-chain data analytics firm Glassnode released its latest weekly market summary, noting that Bitcoin has temporarily stabilized around the $60,000 mark, but the market is characterized by strong defensive features and a lack of bullish confidence. The spot market is range-bound, with trading activity slightly increasing. However, there is persistent net capital outflow, and market liquidity is mainly distribution-driven, with no signs of large-scale accumulation. The derivatives market continues to deleverage, with traders prioritizing downside hedging protection. The willingness to place directional long bets remains low, funding rates stay depressed, and overall risk appetite is weak. Institutional pressure is significant, as US spot Bitcoin ETFs are broadly in unrealized loss territory, experiencing continuous net outflows and a low willingness among institutions to increase positions.
