Japan is expected to launch a Bitcoin ETF as early as 2028. With the revised Financial Instruments and Exchange Act bringing crypto assets under the regulatory scope of financial products, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to adjust rules related to investment trusts, allowing funds and ETFs to hold crypto assets as primary investment targets. Multiple asset management institutions have already expressed interest in participating. Japanese institutional investors' interest in crypto assets is on the rise. A survey by Nomura Holdings and Laser Digital shows that approximately 79% of institutional investors and family offices plan to invest in crypto assets within the next three years.However, unlike the US Bitcoin ETF, which is primarily driven by institutional funds, Japan's institutional investor base is relatively limited, and a high proportion of household financial assets are held in cash. Therefore, individual investor funds are likely to become the main source of inflows. Some analysts believe that Japan's Bitcoin ETF could attract up to 3 trillion yen in inflows by FY2028. (Nikkei)
Odaily News On-chain analyst Tom Wan stated on platform X that Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's earlier proposal regarding the "synergistic effect between Meme coins and RWA" is gradually becoming a reality. Currently, launchpads such as LONG() and Bankr have begun issuing new tokens that are directly paired with Robinhood stock tokens for trading. Over 50% of stock token trading volume now comes from Meme coin trading pairs, with the AI token from LONG() contributing the largest volume. Most of these Meme pairs are linked to Nvidia and SPCX, making these two tokens the fastest-growing stock tokens. Nvidia's market cap has approached $5 million, and the total value of tokenized stocks is nearing $20 million.

Tushar Jain, Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, posted on platform X, stating that a large amount of HYPE was unstaked yesterday, but not for the purpose of selling assets. He noted that because institutional capital flows are constantly tracked on-chain, it forces them to periodically rotate wallets, highlighting the importance of privacy infrastructure. This is why Multicoin Capital is long-term bullish on Zama and Zcash.Previously, according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a suspected Multicoin Capital-related address (0xaB3...297) is selling 607,000 HYPE, worth $37 million.
Mizuho analysts stated that if the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the "Clarity Act," is passed, while it may generally benefit the digital asset industry, the long-term impact on Circle could be negative. The reason is that regulatory clarity will attract more large institutions into the stablecoin market, further accelerating stablecoin commodification and eroding the revenue potential of Circle's USDC.Mizuho believes that the primary pressure Circle faces in the near term comes from Open USD. This stablecoin project is backed by a coalition of over 140 financial, technology, and crypto companies, with members including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, and Coinbase. Unlike Circle's model, which retains approximately 38% of USDC reserve yields, Open USD employs a "pass-through" model, distributing nearly all reserve yields to distribution partners while retaining only a small management fee.Analysts also noted that Coinbase, as the largest distributor of USDC, also supports Open USD. This could give Coinbase stronger bargaining power when renegotiating its revenue-sharing agreement with Circle in the future. The distribution agreement between the two parties could be up for renegotiation as early as next month.

Wanchain’s cross-chain bridge suffered a vulnerability attack on Monday, resulting in the withdrawal of 290 million NIGHT tokens. The price of NIGHT briefly dropped approximately 43% to an all-time low, before partially recovering nearly 19% within 24 hours. Charles Hoskinson stated that the issue originated from an outdated cross-chain bridge architecture built by a third party, and that AI-driven vulnerability discovery is accelerating the exposure of vulnerabilities across all software, not limited to the crypto space. He believes that zero-knowledge systems such as Midnight are long-term solutions, which can replace trust in cross-chain bridge operators and multi-signature mechanisms with cryptographic proofs.

According to CryptoQuant analyst Sunny Mom, Bitcoin rose from approximately $64,000 to $66,000 within two days, but this rally was primarily driven by leverage trading rather than real capital inflow. On-chain data shows that funding rates briefly turned negative on July 18-19, triggering a short squeeze that ignited the rebound. Subsequently, open interest climbed from approximately $21.2 billion to a new high of $23 billion, indicating that new leverage positions continue to drive the market. Meanwhile, spot trading volume has remained in a "cooling" state since April, and off-exchange stablecoin funds are on the sidelines rather than exiting. In terms of ETFs, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows for two consecutive weeks, with single-day inflows of approximately $271 million on July 20 (of which IBIT contributed $116.5 million), showing institutional capital is slowly returning, but not yet enough to drive a recovery in overall spot trading volume. The analyst warned that the current rally structure is fragile; once momentum fades, rapid leverage liquidation could trigger a sharp correction. It is recommended to wait for a substantive recovery in spot trading volume before chasing the rally.
