Crypto companies pause IPO plans amid declining trading volumes and AI-driven reshaping of the tech market
: Due to weak trading volumes and macro pressures weighing on valuations, crypto companies are pausing their long-awaited IPO plans. Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger and MetaMask developer ConsenSys are among the companies that have delayed their IPOs. Ledger had previously planned to list on the New York Stock Exchange with a valuation of $4 billion.Sean Farrell, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Fundstrat, stated that crypto trading volumes have fallen by approximately 75% year-to-date, putting pressure on the valuations of publicly listed crypto companies. In contrast, demand for IPOs from tech companies related to AI remains strong.Additionally, Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI infrastructure have become one of the better-performing segments in the crypto market. Sean Farrell also pointed out that Hyperliquid is one of the standout crypto ecosystems in 2026, generating approximately $850 million in revenue over the past 12 months. Its recent partnership with Coinbase has made USDC the canonical stablecoin on the platform. (coindesk)

a16z Crypto: Privacy is the Key Breakthrough for Institutional Entry into the Cryptocurrency Market
a16z Crypto published an article explaining its investment in Digital Asset. It stated that the three major obstacles previously hindering institutional adoption of crypto technology included blockchain performance, regulatory uncertainty, and privacy concerns. Now, the blockchain performance issue has been largely resolved, with L1 and L2 networks possessing the scale, speed, and complexity to meet institutional needs; the US GENIUS Act has taken effect, addressing the regulatory issue.a16z Crypto believes that traditional public chains make transaction information public by default. While this facilitates verification, institutional financial transactions require capabilities such as selective disclosure, compliance requirements, and multi-party collaboration. For example, when banks conduct treasury bond transactions or repo transactions, the transacting parties need to share information but should not expose positions, counterparties, and transaction sizes to all network participants. Therefore, privacy remains the core challenge for institutions entering the chain. Most blockchain projects attempt to adapt institutions to the crypto system, whereas Digital Asset chooses to adapt crypto technology to institutional needs. Mature privacy technology has also become a key breakthrough for attracting institutional entry.

The House Ways and Means Committee reviewed seven cryptocurrency tax reform proposals this week, while negotiations on the “Clarity Act” continue to advance.
According to Crypto in America, the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means will hold a hearing this Tuesday on cryptocurrency tax reform, reviewing seven draft proposals covering stablecoin transactions, mining and staking, crypto lending, wash-sale rules, charitable donations, and taxpayer disclosure—effectively breaking down the previously proposed Digital Asset Tax Fairness Act into multiple standalone bills. Meanwhile, negotiations over the Senate’s “Clarity for Digital Assets Act” continue. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated the bill is more likely to advance after Congress reconvenes on July 13. Key points of contention include ethics provisions, regulatory language targeting decentralized finance (DeFi), and stablecoin yield. The banking industry continues lobbying against the stablecoin yield provision, while over 200 crypto organizations have jointly written to urge swift passage of the bill. Additionally, Illinois has proposed imposing a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions, prompting strong opposition from industry groups, which warn the measure could drive crypto businesses out of the state.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House Crypto Advisor Patrick Witt have also publicly called for advancing the legislative process.

Morgan Stanley: It will still take time for Bitcoin to enter U.S. bank balance sheets, but preparations are already underway.
According to CoinDesk, Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas that U.S. banks may hold bitcoin on their balance sheets in the future—but the timeline remains uncertain due to guidance from the Federal Reserve, the Basel Accords, and global regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s recently launched MSBT—the first bank-issued bitcoin ETP—drew over $100 million in inflows within its first six days of listing, all sourced exclusively from self-directed investment channels and not yet made available to financial advisors. Oldenburg noted that slow adoption by the advisor channel stems primarily from an education gap; the bank has initiated internal training programs to address this and is applying for a digital trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to support direct custody of crypto assets and spot crypto trading services.

CertiK Report: North Korean Hackers Caused ~60% of Digital Asset Thefts in 2025, Attack Pattern Shifts Toward 'Offline Infiltration'
Odaily, Web3 security firm CertiK has released the "Skynet North Korean Crypto Threat Report." Data shows that since 2016, North Korean hacking groups have accumulated approximately $6.75 billion in stolen digital assets. In 2025 alone, their thefts amounted to $2.06 billion in losses, accounting for nearly 60% of the total annual losses in the global crypto industry (including the $1.5 billion Bybit hack). As of early 2026, this threat trend continues, with losses attributable to them making up about 55%.The report emphasizes that the North Korean hackers' attack patterns have fundamentally shifted, evolving from mere code vulnerability exploitation into a state-level attack system combining social engineering, deep supply chain attacks, and 'physical infiltration.' In the recent Drift protocol incident, attackers even spent six months infiltrating offline industry conferences, building trust through real financial transactions and personal interactions before launching the attack.CertiK security experts warn that in the face of such systemic attacks, purely technical defenses are proving inadequate. Crypto institutions urgently need to fully implement a 'zero-trust' hiring model, reinforce third-party supply chains, establish fund circuit breaker mechanisms, and collaborate with professional security firms to build a full lifecycle defense system covering code auditing, round-the-clock risk monitoring, and on-chain anti-money laundering/KYT (Know Your Transaction) fund tracking.

SEC Chairman: Will Promote On-Chain Capital Market Reform and Clarify Boundaries of Digital Asset Securities
U.S. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing a "New Era SEC" regulatory reform, focusing on modernizing digital asset regulation, promoting on-chain capital market development, and supporting the U.S. in becoming a "global crypto hub."Paul Atkins criticized the SEC's previous "regulatory hostility" towards the digital asset industry, alleging that much crypto innovation was forced to relocate overseas. He stated that with the support of the Trump administration, the SEC has launched "Project Crypto" and is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promote on-chain market infrastructure and harmonize crypto regulation. The SEC has recently clarified which digital assets are securities and which are not, and is advancing an innovative exemption mechanism for "tokenized listed securities," while studying how on-chain trading systems can fit within existing regulatory frameworks.Additionally, Paul Atkins emphasized that the SEC will reduce "over-disclosure" and regulatory burdens, promote "Make IPOs Great Again" reforms, including lowering compliance costs for listed companies, increasing IPO flexibility, and formally proposing to repeal the climate disclosure rules introduced under the previous administration. The future of U.S. capital markets should be built on a "free market and innovation-driven" foundation, where the regulator's role is to provide clear rules and legal certainty, not to suppress technological development.
