July 1: MiCA Grace Period Ends, Russia Mining Ban, Polygon zkEVM Shutdown, ECB Forum
The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) transitional grace period ends on July 1, 2026. As of May 2026, only 194 crypto companies have obtained full licenses in the EU, compared to over 3,000 registered in 2024—approximately 75% of legacy platforms are expected to lose operational eligibility. Unlicensed platforms must wind down, transfer users to licensed platforms, or exit the European market. France's AMF warns that unlicensed operations can result in up to 2 years imprisonment and a €30,000 fine. Russia's Ministry of Energy has drafted a resolution to ban cryptocurrency mining in Moscow, Moscow Oblast, and parts of Kursk Oblast starting July 1, 2026, lasting until December 31, 2032. The Moscow region currently hosts 65 data centers with total power capacity of 734 MW. Polygon zkEVM mainnet Beta will begin its shutdown process on July 1; users must withdraw all on-chain assets and liquidity positions before the deadline. Assets locked in DeFi protocols cannot be automatically migrated; only assets in personal wallets not yet bridged to Ethereum mainnet will be automatically transferred to Ethereum L1 (claimable via a dedicated page). Tennessee, USA, enforces a full ban on crypto ATMs starting July 1, classifying operation as a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. Hikvision will raise hard drive prices from July 1, citing AI demand surges; original manufacturers' Q3 hard drive costs have increased over 50% compared to Q2. The European Central Bank forum on July 1 at 21:30 features Fed Chair Jerome Powell, ECB President Christine Lagarde, BOE Governor Andrew Bailey, and BOC Governor Tiff Macklem.
July 2: US Jobs Data, Robinhood Event, Securitize NYSE Listing
The US will release June unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, initial jobless claims (week ending June 27), and average hourly earnings (year-over-year and month-over-month) on July 2. These figures are closely watched for signals on labor market health and Fed rate path. Robinhood will host a virtual press conference at London's Old Royal Naval College on July 1 at 19:00 BST (July 2, 2:00 AM Beijing time). CEO Vlad Tenev will unveil new-generation crypto-financial products aimed at deeper integration of crypto and traditional finance. Securitize, following its business combination with SPAC Cantor Equity Partners II (NASDAQ: CEPT), expects to list on the NYSE on July 2 under ticker SECZ. The deal is projected to raise approximately $400 million (including PIPE), with the SPAC shareholder vote on June 29. Securitize manages over $4 billion in on-chain real-world assets and holds digital securities infrastructure licenses in both the US and EU.
July 4 and Other Events: Trump Account Launch, Miscellaneous
The US government's “Trump Account” program opens for registration and initial deposits on July 4. This account allows parents to establish tax-deferred investment accounts for children under 18, with annual contributions up to $5,000 (adjusted for inflation). Employers can contribute up to $2,500 per year per child. The account automatically converts to a traditional IRA structure when the child turns 18. Other undated events next week include: Pakistan stated that US-Iran technical talks will resume; the US government may lift restrictions on Anthropic's Fable 5 model as early as next week (Mythos 5 has been partially restored); and a ruling on Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler's case is expected next week.
