According to Bits.media citing data from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), as of June 29, 244 companies in the EU have obtained MiCA crypto licenses, with Germany leading with 57 companies (about 23%), followed by France with 26 companies (about 11%). Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, and Romania have not issued any MiCA licenses, and Poland has yet to establish a licensing system for crypto exchanges, with related legislation having been vetoed by the president three times.Germany, France, and the Netherlands (along with Luxembourg and Ireland) account for about 72% of the EU's financial assets, which is also why MiCA licenses are highly concentrated in these countries. France has recently accelerated its approval process, issuing 5 licenses in the week from June 18 to 22, nearly half of the total 11 issued in the EU during the same period. MiCA requires crypto companies to obtain a license in at least one EU country by July 1 in order to legally serve the markets of the 27 countries; those without a license must cease operations in the EU.

According to The Block, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated that the MiCA license application submitted by Binance in Greece fully complied with regulatory requirements and was close to approval before being withdrawn, but ultimately the process was interrupted due to "external political factors."In an interview, Zhao Changpeng mentioned that several countries within the EU had expressed interest in the license, and there was even a certain degree of "competitive pursuit," but the regulatory progress was ultimately affected by non-regulatory factors, forcing the application to be withdrawn. Binance officially withdrew its application in Greece last week and stated that it would turn to other EU member states to continue pursuing MiCA authorization.In response to market rumors regarding his connections with high-level EU politicians, Zhao Changpeng stated that he had not seen any verifiable documents and only saw similar claims online, which he did not confirm.

Ethlabs published a response on platform X regarding its nonprofit positioning and funding situation, stating that the choice to operate under a nonprofit structure is to focus on the long-term development needs of Ethereum as a "public good" and to maintain the organization's independence and neutrality in research and development.In terms of governance structure, Ethlabs pointed out that its funding comes from large ETH holders and Ethereum ecosystem builders, whose interests are highly aligned with the long-term success of Ethereum, but they will not gain any governance control or participate in roadmap formulation or project prioritization decisions. Ethlabs emphasized that this arrangement is intentionally designed to avoid external funding influencing core directions.At the same time, Ethlabs stated that the future continuous financing mechanism itself is also a form of "accountability mechanism," meaning that only by continuously creating real value for the Ethereum ecosystem can they obtain subsequent funding support, thus forming a long-term feedback loop.Regarding funding, Ethlabs revealed that it is currently in the final stages of financing and has not disclosed specific amounts, but the committed funds already obtained are expected to support an operational cycle of 2 to 3 years and cover the recruitment needs for top talent. Ethlabs emphasized its positioning as a long-term project, not a one-time funding plan.

According to CoinDesk, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine announced that it has transferred over $8.3 million worth of USDT to a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by the country's asset recovery agency ARMA (National Agency for the Search, Tracking, and Management of Assets). This marks the first successful inclusion of seized cryptocurrency assets into national management in Ukraine's history.The transfer was made based on a court order and stems from an investigation by the National Bureau into an international hacker organization. The funds involved came from a wallet belonging to a member of this organization, which has been accused of attacking individuals and businesses in Europe and the United States to steal data and extort money. The proceeds were laundered in Ukraine through high-value assets such as real estate and vehicles. Currently, four suspects have been detained but have not yet been sentenced, with estimated losses exceeding $100 million.The report notes that the funds are currently only held in custody and have not been formally confiscated, as confiscation requires a court ruling. At this time, Ukraine is considering establishing a strategic reserve for cryptocurrency, similar to previous ideas from the United States. The reserve funds would come from confiscated cryptocurrency assets in criminal and civil cases, rather than being purchased on the open market.

According to Crypto in America, the U.S. Senate will recess until July 13, and the advancement of the CLARITY Act depends on the progress of behind-the-scenes coordination over the next two weeks. Staff from both parties, government officials, and industry stakeholders are working to resolve remaining differences, including reconciling text discrepancies between the Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee, as well as reaching consensus on ethical standards and provisions to combat illegal financial activities.The bill requires the support of at least 60 senators to pass. Even if all 53 Republican votes are in favor, at least 7 Democratic senators will need to join; the support of the majority of Democrats may depend on whether the White House can agree to establish a strong ethical framework regarding issues related to Trump's cryptocurrency business. According to Reuters, since Trump's return to the White House, his cryptocurrency business has generated over $2 billion in new wealth for him.Additionally, major law enforcement groups still oppose the inclusion of provisions from the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act in the bill, arguing that it would increase the difficulty of investigating and prosecuting on-chain crimes. Remaining discrepancies in the Agriculture Committee's text include issues such as the prioritization of federal law over state law, management of conflicts of interest in exchanges, and restrictions on related-party transactions. Sources indicate that the parties have not yet reached a final agreement, and there remains uncertainty about whether the Senate vote can be completed before the August recess.
