PANews’ July 21 daily roundup tracked a broad set of crypto and market developments, led by Donald Trump agreeing to an ethics provision tied to the Clarity Act and Ant International closing an approximately $1.2 billion Series A round. The ethics language is designed to limit the ability of senior U.S. officials, including the president, vice president, and members of Congress, to profit from digital assets while in office. Debate around the clause has centered on Trump’s meme coin and World Liberty Financial, with the bill text expected in the coming days and a Senate vote required before the first week of August. The digest also covered fresh product and platform updates from Binance, Robinhood, Base, Solv Protocol, and others, along with several security incidents. Among them were the reported theft of about 515 million NIGHT tokens from Wanchain’s Cardano bridge treasury and ZachXBT’s claim that TeleSwap may have suffered an exploit worth more than $735,000 that had still not been publicly disclosed five days later. On the market side, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $227 million in net inflows on July 20, extending the streak to five straight days. Strategy did not add to its Bitcoin holdings last week but added $225 million to its dollar reserves, while one company executive said the firm’s Bitcoin treasury could support dividend payments for 31 years.
Binance will remove seven spot trading pairs at 11:00 on July 24, according to a ChainCatcher newsflash. The pairs scheduled for delisting are ACX/USDC, ALGO/BTC, CVC/USDC, LPT/USDC, ONG/BTC, RVN/USDC, and XRP/BNB. Binance said the tokens involved will still be available for trading through other pairs on the platform. The exchange also advised users to shut down any related trading bots to avoid potential losses tied to the delisting. The notice concerns spot pairs only and does not say the underlying tokens themselves will be removed from trading altogether.
