据 Galaxy Digital 研究主管 Alex Thorn（@intangiblecoins）发文，Galaxy Research 将 CLARITY 法案 2026 年内通过的概率由 60% 下调至 50%，主要原因为参议院日程持续收窄，而非法案本身实质内容恶化。 法案自 6 月 1 日通过参议院银行委员会（15 比 9）后，已列入参议院立法日程第 423 号，但至今未设定表决日期，银行委员会与农业委员会的文本合并工作仍在幕后推进。 日程竞争方面，FISA 第 702 条重新授权、2027 财年 NDAA 国防授权法案、SAVE Act 选民身份证明法案，以及特朗普以 SAVE Act 为条件拒绝签署已获两院压倒性通过的住房法案，均在争夺有限的参议院议程时间。 Alex Thorn 指出，参议院多数党领袖 Thune 最迟需在 7 月初宣布表决时间，否则法案将推迟至 9 月，届时将面临中期选举政治压力。若两周内宣布时间安排，通过概率将回升至 60% 以上；若沉默延续至 7 月中旬，概率将进一步下调。
USDT supply is tightening in India, with the local stablecoin premium rising above 8.5%, up from the usual 3% to 4%. On Saturday, USDT was quoted at 102.88 Indian rupees, compared to the USD/INR closing rate of 94.65 on Friday.According to the report, the decline in USDT inflows and concerns over further slowdown stem from the Enforcement Directorate's crackdown on a 250-billion Indian rupee transfer of funds via virtual digital assets. Purushottam Anand, founder of Crypto Legal, stated that the recent price increase may partly reflect a risk premium driven by regulatory uncertainty. (economictimes)

Miller Tabak strategist Matt Maley and 22V Research technical strategist John Roque believe Bitcoin is at a key technical indicator level.Matt Maley stated that if Bitcoin declines further from its current level of around $60,000, it could amplify negative investor sentiment. Although Wall Street firms continue to invest in digital assets, retail investors, who have historically been the main force driving cryptocurrency rallies, have shifted their focus to high-growth AI and tech stocks. Recent significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs indicate waning investor enthusiasm. Cryptocurrencies are also showing signs of decoupling from the stock market.John Roque noted that Bitcoin is retesting its first downside target of $60,000. If it breaks below this level, it implies a potential drop to $400,000. Matt Maley added that Congress might pass a crypto structure bill with clearer rules, which would reduce uncertainty and encourage institutional participation in the long run. Furthermore, Bitcoin ETFs experienced their largest monthly outflow since 2024 recently. (CNBC)

CZ stated in an interview that the significant downturn in the crypto market during the first half of 2026 cannot be explained by a single factor. The overall correction of approximately 50% is likely the result of multiple macro and structural factors. Geopolitical tensions, capital flowing from crypto assets into the AI sector, and the traditional four-year crypto market cycle are jointly suppressing market performance. Notably, Bitcoin has seen a clear decline from its all-time high, falling from around $126,000 last year to approximately $60,000 currently.CZ said that despite short-term price pressure, the industry's long-term trend will continue to grow. He believes that as global demand for trading and financial technology increases, the scale of the crypto industry will still expand. Currently, "emerging industries like AI are absorbing hot money from the market," but this could be a positive phenomenon in the long run. Additionally, he is optimistic about the development of prediction markets, believing they help improve price discovery efficiency and market liquidity.On the regulatory front, CZ believes the US may push forward legislative progress like the "Clarity Act" for digital assets before the end of the year, but these policies are "tactical adjustments" and will not change the long-term growth trajectory of the crypto industry. He also pointed out that countries around the world are still accelerating the development of digital asset regulatory frameworks. (CoinD)

Monitoring by the PPP Prediction Market Tool shows that on Polymarket, the probability of the "Fed raising interest rates by 25 basis points at the July meeting" has dropped to 18.1%, while the probability of "maintaining the current interest rate" has risen to 81%. The total trading volume for this event has reached $21.74 million.The market currently widely expects the Fed to remain on hold at the FOMC meeting scheduled for July 28-29. Although the US CPI rose 4.2% year-over-year in May, and energy prices have surged due to tensions in the Middle East, keeping inflationary pressures alive, after the Fed kept the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% at the June meeting, the market is leaning towards waiting for more economic data before deciding on the subsequent policy path. Key economic indicators to be released on July 14, including the US June CPI data, as well as employment and wage figures, will be important variables influencing the outcome of the July meeting.The Odaily Seer Prophets Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before they are priced in.
