The stablecoin market has lost about $10 billion since reaching a record high in May 2026. Total supply fell by $7.7 billion during June to about $312 billion, marking the largest monthly decline in dollar terms since the TerraUSD collapse in May 2022. The decrease equaled roughly 2.4% for June and about 3% from the May peak.  Summary Stablecoin supply lost $10 billion since May as USDT and USDC redemptions reduced crypto liquidity. June recorded the largest monthly dollar decline since Terra, but the market contracted only 3%. Transaction volumes remained strong while tokenized assets expanded, showing blockchain finance activity…

Two sportsbooks can both take your Bitcoin and be built on entirely different foundations. One is a crypto-native sportsbook running on blockchain rails from the ground up. The other is a conventional operation that added a coin button to the cashier and changed nothing else underneath.The label a book gives itself rarely makes the difference clear, which is why the honest question about any such platform is architectural, not promotional.Does crypto run through the core of how the platform holds funds, settles bets, and denominates a balance, or does it stop at the deposit screen? The answer changes what you…

Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has renewed speculation about the company’s next Bitcoin transaction. In a July 12 post, he shared Strategy’s familiar acquisition chart and wrote, “Orange dots tell only part of the story.” The chart marks past Bitcoin purchases, but the message did not say whether Strategy had bought, sold, or taken no action during the latest reporting period. Summary Saylor’s orange-dot post leaves Strategy’s next Bitcoin move unclear after last week’s major corporate sale. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million, funding preferred dividends and rebuilding its dollar reserve. MSTR remains bearish near support, while weak momentum…

You log in to a crypto sportsbook you have used for months, and the site does not load. Support emails bounce. The balance you left sitting there is still visible on the blockchain, but the platform that controlled it has gone dark, and there is no one to call.That scenario is the specific problem non-custodial crypto betting is built to remove, and it removes it cleanly. It also introduces a different set of risks in exchange, and an honest account has to cover both.Non-custodial changes what can go wrong, not whether anything can, and knowing exactly which risks it takes…

EU traders woke up to a very different crypto market structure this summer. Regulatory timelines kicked in, Binance adjusted services for EU users, and a wave of funds moved off centralized venues. The big headline is self-custody, but the deeper story is liquidity and how long it may take to rebuild.This piece breaks down why withdrawals went where they did, how that shift dents order books, and what might coax liquidity back. If you trade size, run a desk, or just want to avoid nasty fills, this matters right now.Exchange liquidity in the EU may not bounce back quickly because…

XRP has dropped nearly 70 percent from its July 2025 high of around $3.66, trading near $1.12 by early July 2026. That kind of drawdown tests even patient holders. But a growing number of chart watchers say the pain might be masking something bigger playing out underneath.The Trend Line That Keeps BouncingAn analyst pointed to a long term ascending trend line that XRP has followed since 2020, one that has already survived three major tests. Each time the price fell back to touch that rising support line, it bounced hard. The first came in April 2020 near 16 cents, followed…

Luisa Crawford Jul 12, 2026 11:31 AAVE’s MACD has zeroed out exactly as price grinds against its Bollinger upper band at $101.53 — the bull case hinges on a decisive close above that ceiling to target $104.45 and ultimately the 200… AAVE’s Technical Reality Check The short-term moving average stack is unambiguously bullish — AAVE at $97.77 sits cleanly above its 7, 20, and 50-day moving averages stacked at $93.64, $89.16, and $79.74. That’s a textbook sequence that tells you the momentum off the lows was real and structural, not noise. But the…

If you work at a desk, trade your own account on the side, or build in Web3, you’ve probably felt the ground shifting under prediction markets this summer. The short version: banks are tightening, regulators are coordinating, and event contracts are drifting into the same orbit as securities and derivatives.This piece breaks down why Goldman drew a hard line, what the CFTC and SEC are signaling, and what it means for anyone touching event-driven trading — from Polymarket power users to risk managers writing company policy.No hype here. Just the practical read on where the compliance walls are going up…

Joerg Hiller Jul 12, 2026 07:56 DOGE is pinned at $0.0728 with momentum flatlined and price hugging its lower Bollinger Band — a failure to hold $0.072 opens a direct path to $0.065, while the bullish thesis demands a volume-back… The Immediate Setup DOGE is bleeding out quietly at $0.0728, down nearly 2% over the last 24 hours on an intraday range of $0.07241 to $0.07545. That range isn’t a consolidation — it’s a squeeze. Buyers are showing up just barely enough to prevent a collapse, but there’s zero aggression in the price…
