1️⃣ Germany Sends the Last of Its Bitcoin to Exchanges 💸

The German government has reportedly sold all its Bitcoin, sending 3,846 BTC ($223.8m) to Kraken and other addresses. The transaction followed weeks of increased selling pressure from the German government. Most of the 50,000 BTC dumped by the German government over the last three weeks resulted from an asset seizure and was largely responsible for keeping the market below the $60,000 price point and its 200-day exponential moving average.

Notably, Culper’s report comes just two days after analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein initiated coverage on IREN with an outperform rating, citing the company’s hybrid bitcoin mining and AI data center strategies. After the publication of Culper’s report, the Bernstein analysts responded by stating that the bulk of Culper’s short argument was based on criticising IREN’s Childress site and its unsuitability for AI operations. They noted that the Childress site was mainly committed to the expansion of bitcoin mining, whereas the Bernstein analysts’ anticipated AI upside for IREN comes mainly from its larger 1.4GW pipeline site in West Texas.

1️⃣ FTX Lawyers Counter Jump Trading’s $264 Million Damages Claims ☄️

The FTX bankruptcy estate is reportedly pushing back against a $264 million claim by Jump Trading's subsidiary Tai Ho Shan. Specifically, Tai Mo Shan demands nearly $264 million in damages from Alameda Research due to the firm’s alleged non-delivery of 800 million Serum (SRM) tokens under a loan agreement dating back to August 2020. However, FTX estate lawyers argue that the claim is invalid as the loan allegedly never commenced. According to the court filings, Jump Trading said it calculated the damages based on an options model, which uses SRM’s market price on the bankruptcy filing date, the token’s implied volatility, the repayment option price and other factors.

The court filing made by the FTX estate lawyers reads,

It is undisputed that Alameda failed to deliver the cryptocurrency contemplated by the Loan Confirmation to the Master Loan Agreement. The loan therefore did not commence. Nowhere does the Master Loan Agreement provide that Tai Mo Shan can seek to compel Alameda to deliver the cryptocurrency, or seek money damages on a loan that did not commence.

2️⃣ BitMEX Dismisses Guilty Plea for Money-Laundering Violations as ‘Old News’ 🤔

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX has pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). BitMEX responded to the announcement stating that it will seek expedited sentencing - arguing that it should not face any further fines than those already imposed in a prior case.

BitMEX’s prepared response reads,

The BSA charge is old news. This is the same charge brought in 2020 against our founders relating to BitMEX’s operations up to September 2020. BitMEX has long since fully remediated its operations, and there is nothing new in this charge.

Crypto winter: is it a thing of the past?

For degens in the trenches staring at the BTC chart all day, the answer is “duh”. However, for the venture capitalists bankrolling this industry, it’s not quite so clear cut. While the crypto market has recovered from the train wreck of 2022, VC activity has not.

But now, after almost two years of falling investment, crypto VCs are finally showing signs of life again.

This begs the question: is this the reversal that will bring VC billions flooding back into crypto? And if so, just how much? And what are they bidding now, anyway?

Weekly crypto review? We got you. It’s safe to say it’s been a crazy time for the markets. For what it’s worth, it’s possible that BTC could have hit a local bottom and that ETH could surprise to the upside.

In fact, it’s possible that the entire crypto market could see an epic recovery led by altcoins. This is likely if we start to see pro-crypto regulations getting passed, something that could start as soon as this week.

Not only that, but there seem to be positive developments on the macro front as well. The conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe seem to be wrapping up, which could be bullish for the markets.

Bitcoin mining difficulty reportedly dropped by more than 5% on July 5 to a quarterly low of 79.50 terahashes per second (TH/s).

3️⃣ North Carolina Governor Vetoes Bill To Prohibit CBDCs In State

Democratic Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina has reportedly vetoed a bill banning the state from implementing a US Federal Reserve-issued central bank digital currency (CBDC) despite receiving near-unanimous support in the state’s House of Representatives and Senate. Both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly had supported the bill, with a 109-4 majority in the House and 39-5 in the Senate.

Explaining his decision, Cooper stated,

Efforts are being made at the federal level to ensure standards and safeguards are in place to protect consumers, investors and businesses that may want to make monetary transactions in digital assets and North Carolina should wait to see how they work before taking action. This legislation is premature, vague and reactionary and proposes an end result on important monetary decisions that haven’t even been made yet. Instead of this bill, the legislature should have passed a budget to provide more funding for cybersecurity threats that actually exist now.

1️⃣ 3AC Wallet Buys NFT Due To Bid Placed Three Years Ago Missed By Liquidators ‼️

A wallet associated with failed crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) purchased an NFT on July 5th for 20 ETH (worth $59,821) due to a bid that the wallet placed three years ago and never cancelled. Specifically, the 3AC wallet placed a bid of 20 ETH for the “Neon Village” NFT from the “Ninja Village” collection by artist SeerLight on Aug. 21, 2021. This is less than a year before the former hedge fund filed for bankruptcy. That bid was accepted on Friday by its prior owner, “anonymoux,” who originally bought it for 100 ETH ($348,700) in October 2021. Liquidation firm Teneo, which is managing the liquidation of the 3AC estate, appears to have missed the bid, allowing it to be accepted despite the firm’s ongoing bankruptcy process.

STACKS

The price of STX has rallied by 12% in the past 24 hours.

🕯 Most of STX’s recent rally seems to come from heavy trading activity on the South Korean crypto exchange Upbit. Over the past 24 hours, Upbit saw $70 million in volume on its STX/KRW trading pair. This accounts for almost 50% of STX’s global trading volume today.

‼️ That said, the Stacks ecosystem saw a few bullish developments over the weekend. Notably, the US Securities and Exchanges Commission announced that it was dropping its investigation into Bitcoin layer 2 network Stacks and its developer Hiro System (formerly known as Blockstack). Core developers also reported that they are now "code complete" for Nakamoto Activation – the upcoming upgrade for the Stacks network.

2️⃣ SEC Drops Investigation Into Paxos - Win For Crypto Industry ⚡️

According to a July 9 letter by Jorge Tenreiro - the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s acting chief of the crypto assets and cyber unit, the securities regulator has decided not to recommend an enforcement action against New York-based stablecoin issuer Paxos. Notably, the announcement follows a Wells Notice the SEC had sent Paxos earlier over its BUSD stablecoin. The new decision to not recommend an enforcement action suggests that stablecoins, like the dollar-backed BUSD, may not be treated as securities. The SEC appears to have shifted its stance after a federal judge sided with Binance in a decision that held the sales of BUSD did not constitute a securities offering.

Paxos stated,

Paxos Trust Company has always maintained that its USD-backed stablecoins are not securities under federal securities laws and that the Wells notice was unwarranted and unjustified. We are proud of our relentless advocacy for stable-value digital assets and that the SEC staff determined it will not bring enforcement action against Paxos in connection with BUSD.

🚨 New Video Alert!! 🚨

Every now and then we come across something significant that the markets seem to be ignoring. Today’s video is about one of those things: a potential debt crisis, specifically in the UK and France.
