Telegram founder Pavel Durov said the company plans to ship a native, non-custodial Gram wallet across every version of Telegram this summer, putting a self-custody crypto product in front of the platform’s more than 1 billion users. In a July 21 post, Durov called it the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet to date and said the wallet will support instant, fee-free Gram transfers. Gram was known as Toncoin until last month. Telegram has not disclosed a firm launch date, the full list of supported assets, or technical specifications. It also has not explained how the rollout will affect Telegram’s existing custodial Wallet product or how it will be handled in jurisdictions that limit in-app crypto services. The move is tied to Durov’s broader “Make TON Great Again” roadmap, which he began outlining in April to bring The Open Network closer to Telegram. Recent steps included Telegram taking a more central role than the TON Foundation, becoming the network’s largest validator, and cutting fees by roughly sixfold. Gram rose to an intraday high of $1.66 before easing to about $1.52, up 5.5% over 24 hours, while TON-based DeFi TVL stood near $66 million, according to CoinGecko and DeFiLlama.

Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, is being used in central bank digital asset pilot programs tied to Brazil’s Drex initiative and Hong Kong’s Ensemble network, according to Techub News, citing Bitcoinist. The work covers tokenized settlement and e-HKD+ related testing. The pilots also include tests linked to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) and its A$DC stablecoin, with a focus on validating cross-chain messaging and payment functions for settlement use cases. While the projects remain at the trial stage, they show how regulated financial institutions are testing public blockchain infrastructure concepts in practice. The report said the pilots point to institutional demand for secure and compliant cross-chain interoperability infrastructure as the market prepares for a future digital asset environment where multiple networks operate side by side.

Hyperscale Data said it held 1,087.4527 BTC as of Sunday, lifting the value of its bitcoin treasury to about $72.4 million based on prices cited at the time of publication. The New York Stock Exchange-listed company said the holdings sit across wholly owned subsidiaries Sentinum, Inc. and Ault Capital Group, Inc., with ACG buying roughly 51.5 BTC in the week ended July 19 through open-market purchases. The update shows a sharp increase from 627.9 BTC in late March 2026, meaning the company added about 460 BTC in less than four months. Hyperscale has said it wants to build a $100 million digital asset treasury and bring the value of its bitcoin holdings in line with its market capitalization. According to the report, that threshold has now been exceeded, as the company’s market cap was roughly $63 million while its bitcoin holdings alone were worth more than $70 million. Executive Chairman Milton Todd Ault III said the market was assigning no value to the company’s cash, its Michigan data center, or its operating businesses.

BlockBeats reported on July 22, citing Coinglass data, that funding rates across major centralized and decentralized exchanges are showing a weaker bearish bias as Bitcoin continues to strengthen. The report points to current funding-rate readings as a sign that negative market positioning is fading, with the detailed rates shown in the accompanying chart. BlockBeats also outlined how funding rates work in crypto derivatives markets. The mechanism is commonly used in perpetual futures to keep contract prices close to the underlying asset. Payments are exchanged directly between long and short traders, while the trading platform does not collect the fee. In the explanation included in the report, a 0.01% funding rate is treated as the baseline. Readings above 0.01% generally indicate a bullish market bias, while rates below 0.005% are described as a sign of broadly bearish sentiment.

Coinbase has released a post-incident review of its July 14 service outage, saying the disruption stemmed from a Kubernetes resource naming conflict introduced during a routine configuration change. The company said the issue disabled a key network component tied to its shared production cluster, interrupting transfers, card transactions and some onchain services, while customer funds were never at risk. According to Coinbase, the change was deployed at 12:34 p.m. Eastern Time as part of a migration to a new service deployment model intended to improve performance and reliability. A pre-production check did not catch the conflict, and the update unintentionally modified Kubernetes resources associated with the Istio Ingress Gateway. By 12:37 p.m. ET, traffic entering the cluster had stopped, cutting internal services off from several infrastructure components. Coinbase said the outage affected retail users, institutional clients and developer platform customers. The ingress gateway was restored at 1:20 p.m. ET, and the incident was largely mitigated by 1:23 p.m. ET. The company said it plans to add automated conflict detection, strengthen redundancy between deployment tools and infrastructure, and rehearse emergency access procedures more regularly.
