According to Artemis, daily transaction counts shot up to over 9 million, which is like, a lot. And active addresses? Forget about it. They’re at 2.7 million, which is the highest level since June 6. But here’s the thing: most of this traffic is just people moving their stablecoins around, not actually investing in Tron.
The stiff-collared world of banking is finally letting its hair down—or at least loosening the tie—because regulated stablecoin exposure is hotter than a Swiss fondue pot in July. The ever-prim and proper Amina Bank AG (headquartered, not coincidentally, in crypto-happy Zug) proudly announced on July 3: “We’ll be the first bank anywhere to let RLUSD in our vault!” For those who don’t know, RLUSD is Ripple’s answer to a question no one at a Swiss dinner party would dare ask out loud: “Can you have a stablecoin that regulators won’t grumble about?”
According to some clever folks at CryptoQuant, Ethereum’s liquid staking activity has been on the rise since June 1. The total amount of ETH staked went from 34.54 million to 35.52 million in just one month – that’s nearly one million ETH, if you’re counting 🤑. And as of July 1, ETH set a new record in liquid staking, reaching a whopping 35.56 million ETH 🎉.
On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delivered a verbose message that no one really asked for. In a stunningly detailed statement, the SEC decreed that issuers of crypto asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) must now comply with federal securities disclosure requirements. These magical products, typically trusts stuffed with spot crypto or derivatives, must now register under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Oh, joy! 🥳
