Strategy’s standing in major equity indexes emerged as one of the day’s main storylines after Bitcoin News said MSCI had proposed new rules aimed at “non-operating companies,” with a May 2026 simulation showing Strategy could be removed from its global investable market index. The consultation period runs through Sept. 30, a decision is expected by Oct. 16, and any changes could take effect during the November 2026 index review. Another macro headline came from the U.S. Treasury’s planned $25 billion 30-year bond sale, which is expected to carry the highest financing cost since 2001, while U.S. interest expense for the current fiscal year has already reached $1.17 trillion. Across the crypto sector, TRM Labs said only 281 of 1,343 crypto asset service providers in Europe have obtained authorization after MiCA took full effect. Forward Industries disclosed additional SOL purchases, Wintermute outlined a roughly $1 billion five-year push into AI infrastructure and high-frequency trading, and Bullish, Gemini, Robinhood Chain and Tether each released notable operating or financial updates. The day also brought project launches, new financing rounds for Kalshi, Databricks and several AI startups, plus fresh regulatory developments from the CFTC and SEC.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is set to hold a public meeting on Aug. 14 to consider a proposed "Regulation Crypto" framework that would let some crypto projects raise capital without completing a full securities registration process. If advanced for public comment, it would become the SEC’s first formal, durable rulemaking effort aimed specifically at the crypto sector. The proposal would also outline a route for projects to exit SEC oversight once developers stop actively managing the network and the project becomes decentralized. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has previously said the exemption period could last as long as four years, though no fundraising cap was disclosed. On the litigation front, a federal judge in Connecticut ruled that Kalshi’s sports-event contracts are not swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act, meaning the Commodity Futures Trading Commission did not obtain exclusive jurisdiction on that basis. The decision lands as Kalshi remains under pressure in New York, where the CFTC said it used “emergency powers” to require the prediction-market operator to continue operating after the company sought assistance following a lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James. Elsewhere, the market snapshot showed broad declines among major tokens over the past 24 hours, while project, funding, security and AI headlines spanned Bitwise layoffs, a reported COLDCARD Mk3 wallet flaw, Hyperliquid and Robinhood Chain user metrics, and a string of new financings across crypto, AI and financial infrastructure.

OKX will list three stock perpetual contracts on Aug 10 between 17:00 and 17:30, according to official information reported by BlockBeats. SKUU offers 2x leveraged long exposure to SK Hynix, SKDD offers 2x leveraged short exposure to SK Hynix, and KO tracks Coca-Cola.

July 31 brought a dense mix of crypto, equity-market, and policy headlines. On the corporate side, Coinbase reported $1.22 billion in second-quarter revenue, down 14% from the prior quarter and below the $1.29 billion expected by the market, while Strategy posted an $8.2 billion quarterly loss tied mainly to unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings and said it held 843,775 BTC at the latest disclosure. In one of the day’s most closely watched cross-market stories, people familiar with the matter said Citadel had acquired most of the equity portfolio of Situational Awareness, the $24 billion hedge fund founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, after losses tied to AI-related trades. Elsewhere, Aave said it would retire 50 low-adoption reserves and wind down deployments on six chains, Uniswap launched a beta product for token launches, and ENS DAO proposed creating a full-time operating foundation. On the policy front, U.S. senators submitted a new compromise proposal tied to ethics provisions in the Clarity Act, while South Korea said it had completed a draft digital asset framework bill and is also considering rules that could cover AI agent payments and suspicious-account payment freezes.

Crypto markets on July 22 were shaped by a mix of price action, regulatory developments, project updates, and financing news. Among the most-traded assets on centralized exchanges, BTC rose 1.77%, ETH gained 1.27%, XRP added 2.68%, and ADA climbed 2.47%, while DEXE fell 83.73%. OKX data showed NIGHT leading the 24-hour gainers at 27.05%, and msx.com’s crypto-equity board was led by GREE.M at 42.25%. The day’s headline items centered on Kalshi and Movement Labs. Kalshi has reportedly filed with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch gold-linked perpetual futures. Movement Labs, the developer behind the Movement blockchain, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after earlier scrutiny over a market-making agreement that allowed the rapid sale of 66 million MOVE tokens, followed by a sharp price drop, an investigation, and a token buyback. Other developments included SpaceX setting Aug. 4 for its 2026 second-quarter earnings release, with insider share unlocks due to begin two days later; the U.S. Department of Justice seizing more than $25 million in crypto tied to alleged cross-border investment fraud; Polymarket registering a standalone X account for Polymarket Perps; Robinhood opening trading accounts to AI agents; and Telegram founder Pavel Durov saying Telegram plans to roll out a native self-custodial Gram wallet across all apps this summer.
