Metaplex, a protocol in the Solana ecosystem, has rolled out a public dashboard hosted by Blockworks that tracks its financials and MPLX token metrics. The dashboard shows the protocol generated about $201,000 in revenue in June, up 17% from the previous month. Of that total, around $100,000 was used to buy back 3.6 million MPLX tokens. It also includes activity data for Genesis, Metaplex’s launch platform. According to the figures disclosed, the protocol has facilitated the creation of more than 920 million assets to date, with cumulative transaction value exceeding $10.35 billion. MPLX was quoted at about $0.028, with circulating supply at roughly 477 million tokens. CryptoBriefing was cited in the source summary.

Upbit has confirmed listings for MPLX and NEX, giving both tokens access to South Korea's active retail crypto market. MPLX brings Solana asset infrastructure, while NEX targets verifiable finance through a zero-knowledge Layer 1 design.

The crypto market cap rose to $2.2 trillion on July 3, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both posting gains. XDAO led altcoin movers with a 449.3% surge, while listings, a security breach, and protocol updates kept traders focused on market developments.

Ethereum outpaces major coins with a 5.4% daily gain; Bitcoin trades at $61,675. IKA and Metaplex surge 115% and 105%, reflecting broad buying interest across large and small caps.

Global digital-asset policy and market developments accelerated between July 14 and July 15. The UK’s HM Revenue & Customs said certain crypto lending and automated market maker liquidity pool arrangements will receive “no gain, no loss” tax treatment from April 6, 2027, with capital gains tax deferred until a user makes a substantive economic disposal. In Europe, the European Central Bank selected 36 payment service providers for a digital euro pilot scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027 and run for 12 months across the ECB and 19 euro-area central banks. The U.S. and U.K. also issued a joint digital-asset roadmap backing regulated stablecoins, tokenized deposits, consumer protections, and work on cross-border financing options. Outside direct rulemaking, trading and infrastructure platforms rolled out new products and features. Interactive Brokers expanded crypto trading support by 12 tokens and enabled withdrawals of USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD to external wallets. Binance Alpha Box launched an airdrop event featuring Orochi Network and Metaplex tokens. On-chain flows remained active as Grayscale moved 852.7 BTC to Coinbase Prime, while the U.S. government transferred additional assets tied to Bitfinex and FTX/Alameda seizures. Kalshi introduced an AI compute forward-pricing tool even as the CFTC moved to block Michigan from forcing cancellations of executed trades involving state residents. Broader corporate and stablecoin competition also stayed in focus, with new funding rounds, ETF filings, and fresh scrutiny on Circle’s economics.
