U.S. lawmakers are planning to release an updated draft of a crypto market structure bill this week, according to CoinDesk, which cited multiple people familiar with discussions around the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The new version is expected to fold in provisions from bills previously passed by the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee. It was shaped through negotiations between the two committees over a range of provisions. The report points to continued movement in Washington on how digital asset market rules could be structured, with the revised text reflecting committee-level coordination rather than a stand-alone rewrite. No additional timeline beyond this week was provided in the report.

Techub News, citing monitoring by @EmberCN, reported that an address beginning with 0x18B4 bought 4,049.7 ETH early today using 7.378 million DAI, a transaction valued at about $7.378 million.

It is not yet clear whether the two addresses are connected. The report did not provide additional details beyond the transaction size, token used, and the existing on-chain label tied to the 0x18B4 wallet.

Authorities have not disclosed details about the scam group involved, and it remains unclear whether a criminal investigation has been launched. The update was cited by Cointelegraph.

Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that many users appear to have missed that protocol fees on Uniswap have already been turned on and are being used to burn UNI. He wrote that he continues to receive replies from people who still believe the fee switch has not been activated. Alongside that clarification, Hayden pointed to three governance proposals currently being voted on by the community. The items cover fees on Robinhood Chain for v2 and v3, fees for v4, and cleanup of fee bridging on xlayer, ava, megaeth, and sonium. The post focused on correcting what he described as a common misunderstanding around the current status of Uniswap’s protocol fee mechanism.

FIFA is expanding its use of blockchain around the 2026 World Cup through partnerships with Kraken, Chiliz and Avalanche, according to Techub, citing CryptoBriefing.

BlockBeats reported on July 13 that military tensions across the region rose again after U.S. officials said American forces had carried out several strikes about an hour earlier on missile and air defense systems at multiple locations around the Strait of Hormuz, as well as on small boats operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. An official on Iran’s Qeshm Island said 10 to 11 missiles were fired at the island on Sunday afternoon local time, adding that all targets were military facilities and that no casualties were reported. Earlier, Iran said it had attacked a U.S. missile launch base in Kuwait. Facilities related to the ATACMS missile system at a U.S. military base in Kuwait were hit, with smoke seen rising from the site. Separately, Lebanon’s National News Agency, or NNA, reported that Israeli artillery launched more shelling in southern Lebanon. Two Israeli shells struck the town of Kfartebnit in the Nabatieh district, and NNA said the fire came from Israeli army positions in the occupied border area. It also reported shelling on the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya near Mayfadoun.

Coinglass data shows a sharp liquidation zone on both sides of Bitcoin’s current price range. If BTC rises above $67,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges could reach $771 million. On the downside, a drop below $63,000 would bring cumulative long liquidation intensity to $423 million. BlockBeats noted that the liquidation chart should not be read as an exact measure of pending liquidations or the precise value of contracts that would be wiped out. Instead, the bars indicate the relative importance, or intensity, of liquidation clusters compared with nearby clusters. In practice, the chart is meant to show how strongly the market may react once the underlying asset reaches a given price level. Taller liquidation bars suggest a stronger response driven by a wave of liquidity once that level is hit. The data point was cited by BlockBeats on July 13.
