According to Jinshi, U.S. President Donald Trump said he will deliver a national address at 9 p.m. on July 14, which corresponds to 9 a.m. Beijing time on July 15, as tensions between the United States and Iran rise again around the Strait of Hormuz. Trump did not disclose what the speech will cover. The report said the announcement indicates that the war track with Iran is effectively accelerating again, even though the two sides were supposed to move into negotiations after the signing of a memorandum of understanding. ChainCatcher carried the brief as a 7x24 newsflash.

Bonzo Lend, a lending protocol on Hedera, was exploited on July 11 after an attacker abused a verification flaw in a third-party Supra oracle contract. Bonzo’s preliminary incident report said the attacker posted 250 SAUCE tokens worth only a few dollars as collateral, then pushed a manipulated price update that sharply inflated the token’s value against HBAR. That account went on to borrow 6.63 million USDC and 34.52 million wrapped HBAR, worth about $9.05 million at the report’s reference HBAR price. A second wallet borrowed roughly $1 million more while the abnormal price remained live, then contacted Bonzo on Discord, described itself as a white-hat responder, and said the funds would be returned. That brought total abnormal borrowing to about $10.06 million before any return. Bonzo later said its protocol had been paused and remains paused while recovery work continues. Supra Labs said the incident stemmed from a degenerate BLS signature and a zero-valued public key that its Hedera verifier incorrectly accepted for a single SAUCE/wHBAR feed, adding that its core aggregation system and other feeds were not affected. After the exploit, Hedera’s TVL dropped nearly 40% over 24 hours, while Bonzo’s TVL fell 77%. DefiLlama now lists Bonzo at $3.06 million in TVL.

Turkish prosecutors have indicted 504 suspects over an alleged money-laundering network that handled nearly 40 billion lira, or about $1 billion, through shell companies and cryptocurrency transactions. Prosecutors are seeking prison terms of up to 34.5 years for the alleged ringleader and up to 31 years for network managers. According to a 1,548-page indictment, the group moved funds tied to illegal betting through the “M80” platform, jewelry stores and POS terminals. Part of the proceeds was then converted into cryptocurrency and transferred abroad. Prosecutors also allege that some members ran investment fraud schemes by luring victims with promises of high returns. The case has now entered judicial proceedings, according to crypto.news, cited by Techub.

President Donald Trump on Monday pressed the Senate to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, linking the bill to the death of Senator Lindsey Graham over the weekend as lawmakers face a short runway before the August recess. In a Truth Social post, Trump called Graham a strong supporter of the measure and framed its passage as part of a broader competition with China. Graham, however, was not involved in negotiating the bill. He did not serve on the Senate Banking or Agriculture committees this session and did not vote to move the legislation forward, though he had supported the GENIUS Act stablecoin law last year. His death reduced Republicans’ Senate majority to 52-47, and Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization has left the party with even less room for absences. The bigger hurdle remains the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster. Democrats have said they will not provide those votes unless the bill includes conflict-of-interest language covering the president and his family, after Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure showed at least $1.4 billion in crypto income. According to The Block, a new draft expected this week still does not include an ethics provision.

Sablier Labs, the company behind token-streaming and vesting infrastructure, has halted active product development and moved into maintenance mode through June 2028, according to co-founder and CEO Paul Berg. The company said existing streams, vesting plans, and airdrops will continue to operate because Sablier’s smart contracts are deployed onchain and do not depend on the company remaining in business. Starting July 13, 2026, the official interface stopped accepting new vesting streams and airdrops with end dates beyond June 2028, and it no longer allows open-ended payment streams. Berg linked the decision to a sharp drop in usage and revenue in the first quarter of 2026, even though the company shipped more features than in any prior quarter. He cited delayed token launches as crypto markets weakened and lower barriers for rivals as AI-assisted coding made replication cheaper. Sablier also moved up the license conversion for its main EVM smart contracts, switching immediately from Business Source License 1.1 to GPL on July 13, 2026, instead of waiting until July 1, 2029. The company said more than 345,000 Ethereum addresses have used the protocol across over 837,000 transactions and more than 547,000 vesting plans, airdrop claims, and payment streams on 30-plus EVM chains and Solana.

Uniswap has launched its Continuous Clearing Auctions, or CCA, along with the Uniswap Auctions tool on Robinhood Chain, opening the door for project teams to run fully onchain token sales on the network. The company said the setup is designed to help teams conduct token auctions onchain, discover a credible market price, and bootstrap liquidity on Uniswap v4, the protocol’s newest exchange version. As part of the rollout, auctions on Robinhood Chain will appear directly inside the Uniswap Web App instead of using a separate interface, allowing users to launch, browse, bid, and claim in one place once an auction is configured. In a related blog post, Uniswap said teams can set up and launch auctions directly from the app, with CCA serving as the protocol’s liquidity bootstrapping mechanism. Under that process, price discovery takes place across multiple blocks before tokens are moved into a Uniswap v4 pool. The integration expands the no-code auction product Uniswap introduced last month to Robinhood’s own network, whose mainnet went live in early July and has since recorded rising activity tied to memecoin trading.

Strategy sold $466.7 million in MSTR common stock between July 6 and July 12, 2026, according to a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13. The company said the sale, executed through its at-the-market equity program, involved about 4.82 million shares and lifted its U.S. dollar reserve to $3 billion, adding roughly $450 million to its cash cushion. The filing also showed that Strategy did not buy any bitcoin during the period, leaving its holdings unchanged at 843,775 BTC. Michael Saylor posted a tracker chart on X showing the company’s bitcoin stack was worth $54 billion as of July 12. The new cash reserve is intended to cover preferred stock dividends and interest payments on Strategy’s debt, not to fund fresh bitcoin purchases. The company said the reserve now covers more than 20 months of those obligations. The week followed an earlier period in which Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million to fund dividend payments, also without adding to its bitcoin position.

Robinhood Chain has opened with several days of founder-led promotion and rising on-chain activity, and some market participants are now describing the network’s early identity as a mix of meme trading and real-world assets, or RWA. The article argues that meme coins may be effective for pulling users in quickly, especially for a chain that has not shown signs of issuing its own token, but that approach is unlikely to sustain an ecosystem over time on its own. The piece points to a burst of meme activity on the chain, growing attention from X-based KOLs, and a notable detail: some of the users entering through these trades are said to be first-time blockchain users coming from Robinhood’s traditional stock-trading base. With 24 million users on hand, that audience is viewed as a major reserve of potential crypto participants. Infrastructure has already benefited. According to the article, Uniswap recorded more than $500 million in 24-hour volume on July 8, topping every chain other than Ethereum mainnet, while new DEXs, token launchpads, prediction markets, and perpetual trading venues have also begun appearing on Robinhood Chain. Still, the core argument is that meme activity can only take a network so far. The real test is whether Robinhood can move retail users from short-term speculative products toward RWA, especially tokenized stocks. That, the article says, is where a durable business model may exist, though questions remain around long-term user demand, whether 24/7 stock trading is truly a retail need, and how access constraints for U.S. users can be resolved.
