ChainCatcher, citing Procuratorial Daily, reported that researchers from the Yuhu District People’s Procuratorate in Xiangtan, Hunan, and the Law School division of Xiangtan University jointly published an article on criminal-law challenges tied to money laundering involving virtual currencies. The article said judicial practice is facing three main difficulties: how to classify conduct under existing criminal provisions, how to obtain usable evidence when mixers, privacy coins and cross-chain transfers break up the evidentiary trail, and how to recover illicit assets when legal characterization, procedural rules and cross-border cooperation remain unclear or inconsistent. It noted that Article 191 of China’s Criminal Law still limits the predicate offenses for money laundering to seven categories, leaving many cases to be handled under the crime of concealing or disguising criminal proceeds. The authors proposed a package of measures, including pursuing parallel case reviews, recognizing a principle of self-authentication for blockchain data, building a tiered standard of proof, setting up a national custody and disposal platform for seized virtual currencies, and promoting a dedicated international criminal judicial assistance agreement for virtual-currency-related crimes.

South Korean police are investigating allegations that political influence was used to affect competition between local crypto exchanges, according to BLOCKMEDIA. The case centers on a former aide to independent lawmaker Kim Byung-gi, who was accused of pressuring the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) in February last year to make Upbit end fee discount promotions for USDC and USDT. The reported goal was to ease financial strain on rival exchange Bithumb after it launched a zero-fee campaign. Investigators are also looking at what happened afterward: the former aide later took an informal advisory role at Bithumb, while the lawmaker’s son was hired by the exchange as an intern. Bithumb said it had no knowledge of any political interference and maintained that its fee-related decisions were made independently as business matters.

Crypto markets saw a dense mix of policy, market structure, and on-chain developments over the past 24 hours. Michael Saylor and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back publicly pushed back against Bitcoin proposal BIP 110, arguing that the measure would undermine Bitcoin’s decentralization and neutrality. At the same time, Forbes released a list of 10 cryptocurrencies it considers worth investing in, including BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, TRX, HYPE, RAIN, LEO, and ZEC, using utility, store-of-value characteristics, seven-day performance, and 24-hour trading volume as screening criteria. On the regulatory side, Coinbase chief policy officer Faryar Shirzad said the CLARITY Act would place digital asset platforms under stronger oversight rather than weaken national security, responding to criticism from Senator Elizabeth Warren. Separately, The Hill reported that U.S. Senate leaders are targeting the week of July 20 for floor consideration of the bill, though bipartisan disagreements remain. Market data also remained in focus. CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler said short-term Bitcoin holders still show stronger buy-side pressure than sell-side pressure, even as both cool slightly, while recent ETF inflows are still too small to confirm a reversal in institutional demand. Coinglass data showed $76.96 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, with short liquidations outpacing longs. Other notable developments included new claims in the Qian Zhimin 60,000 BTC case, renewed accusations from ZachXBT over LAB token selling, and a rare full Bitcoin block mined by a single-chip Bitaxe ASIC machine.
