Executive scan
Today in Crypto was led by a mix of price recovery, stablecoin infrastructure and jurisdictional positioning. Bitcoin reclaimed $64,000 after a reported dip to $62,800, with Bitcoin News citing $108 million in short liquidations and nearly 10% July gains. Coverage also flagged Wintermute’s caution that the move may still need stronger crypto-specific demand and institutional engagement to broaden.
Stablecoins stayed central. Dune data coverage split USDT’s strength in payments from USDC’s lead in DeFi, while Sui’s protocol-level gasless stablecoin transfers drew attention after processing $65 billion in five days. Policy focus widened: Sberbank’s planned December crypto wallet points to Russia’s bank-controlled on-ramp, Circle praised UK stablecoin rules, and Ripple’s EU MiCA license kept XRP in the regulatory frame.
