The coming week carries a dense schedule for crypto markets and adjacent sectors. Circle, SpaceX, Hut 8, and American Bitcoin are all set to release quarterly results, while token unlocks for Succinct (PROVE), Ethena (ENA), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) are also on the calendar. At the same time, several products and services are approaching end-of-life milestones, including DeFi dashboard Zapper, crypto wallet Ctrl Wallet, and Polygon liquid staking token MaticX. Exchanges are making changes as well: Binance will stop supporting the Sophon mainnet and migrate SOPH to Ethereum on a 1:1 basis, and Coinbase plans to suspend trading in IDEX, LRC, OMNI, PIRATE, and FIS. The week also includes Polymarket’s shift to TWAP-based settlement for crypto up/down markets, a planned compensation update from AFX Trade after its bridge exploit, and an upcoming XRP Ledger software release that restores revised features previously removed over security flaws. Macro data are also due, with the U.S. set to publish July unemployment, nonfarm payrolls, and wage figures on Aug. 7.

A wide set of crypto, regulatory and macro developments emerged between July 29 and July 30. Binance rolled out European-style gold and silver options through its ADGM-regulated Nest Exchange, while Cardano wallet provider SecondFi said part of the recovered assets tied to its security incident had been transferred by a white-hat team to an EMURGO recovery fund address for transparent tracking. Bank of New York Mellon said it is moving core transfer agent recordkeeping onto blockchain for roughly $8.6 trillion in assets and 7.6 million accounts, with Baillie Gifford, BlackRock and Dreyfus among the first clients. South Korea’s finance ministry said it will curb leveraged ETF trading and raise related trading costs. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve kept the federal funds target range at 3.5% to 3.75% in a 9-3 vote, with three dissenters backing a 25-basis-point hike. Separate comments from SEC Chair Paul Atkins indicated the agency would write crypto rules on its own if Congress fails to pass the Clarity Act. Elsewhere, Polymarket launched an in-house funded research institute, Stripe was reported to be discussing a $10 billion acquisition of OpenRouter, Ethereum Institutional announced its first ecosystem funding round, Tether’s compliant stablecoin USA₮ went live on Celo, and Robinhood, Meta, Microsoft, Samsung and xAI released fresh business and earnings updates.

SecondFi said in an update on its asset recovery efforts that one of the white hat teams involved in the rescue has successfully deposited recovered assets into the recovery fund originally established by EMURGO. The project said the address is being used only to track recovery progress and will not be used to ask users to transfer funds to any wallet. Assets obtained through the earlier emergency rescue remain safe and accessible, according to the update, with more information to be released as the process continues. SecondFi also issued a security warning to users. It said the team will never ask for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials, and will not proactively contact users through direct messages or email. The project added that scammers have already created fake SecondFi browser extensions and applications, and said the only legitimate plugin is the one in the Chrome Web Store carrying a blue verification badge.

Charles Hoskinson announced plans to shift Cardano community discussions from X to Discord, citing hostility and misinformation. Future AMA questions will come from Discord, while X remains for live streams. Community is divided on the move.

SecondFi, a wallet tied to EMURGO and previously known as Yoroi, disclosed a serious generation software flaw after users reported stolen funds. One victim said 998,000 ADA vanished without seed phrase exposure or transaction approval.

SecondFi says its reimbursement system is being built after a June exploit, with 16 million ADA set for return across 374 affected addresses. The team says users should take no action yet and ignore any messages asking for keys, seed phrases, or transfers.

SecondFi says its recovery plan remains on track after a Cardano wallet exploit drained 16 million ADA. Engineers are testing secure return methods, and a wallet checker tool is due next week.

Japan’s crypto policy debate is heating up as ETF discussions and tax reform plans gain visibility. TEAMZ Web3 / AI SUMMIT 2026 said Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and Yuichiro Tamaki will appear, while all 10 title sponsorship slots have sold out.
