U.S. job data and trade deficit figures also loom large. These developments could sway investor sentiment and market dynamics, underscoring the need for informed decision-making in the volatile crypto space.

  • Cryptocurrency market rebounds in Q3 with Ethereum (ETH) surging over 5% to surpass $3,500. Whale activity, highlighted by Abraxas Capital withdrawing 60K ETH from Bitfinex, drives a price rally towards $3,500. Excitement mounts for the upcoming spot Ethereum ETF, despite SEC delays, potentially boosting ETH towards $4,000 levels.

  • Lower capital costs and higher liquidity typically favor high-growth assets like Bitcoin. Despite controlled US inflation, the cryptocurrency market isn't responding positively. The Federal Reserve's cautious approach amid slowing inflation suggests reduced expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting market sentiment and investor risk appetite.

  • The EU's new MiCA regulation is now in force, offering clear legal and regulatory guidelines for the digital asset market. Designed to mitigate boom-bust cycles in crypto, MiCA mandates compliance for stablecoins with e-money regulations. This move aims to bolster consumer protections and pave the way for global crypto legislation.

  • The SEC has filed a lawsuit against ConsenSys, the Ethereum software provider, accusing its MetaMask wallet service of acting as an unregistered broker by facilitating the sale of securities. Additionally, the SEC targeted Ethereum staking services Lido and Rocket Pool, alleging their tokens stETH and rETH are unregistered securities. This lawsuit marks the SEC's recent push to regulate various aspects of the crypto market under securities laws.

  • Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new "Secure Speed Finality" (SSF) mechanism to enhance transaction speeds, moving away from Ethereum's current slot-and-epoch system. The SSF aims to achieve quicker finality, akin to Tendermint consensus, while addressing network load challenges with solutions like the Orbit SSF proposal..

  • Keith Gill, known for the GameStop short-squeeze, faces a securities fraud lawsuit over social media posts allegedly manipulating GameStop (GME) stock prices. Filed June 28, the lawsuit claims Gill misled investors by not disclosing trades adequately. However, legal experts believe the case is likely to fail due to weak grounds.
