According to a Bloomberg report on July 28th, Luno, DCG's cryptocurrency exchange, will lay off approximately 20% of its global workforce as part of a restructuring plan. CEO James Lanigan confirmed the news.

In response to media inquiries, Lanigan stated that the restructuring will adjust the company's business layout, including expanding its business-to-business (B2B) operations and cutting costs in accordance with the current market environment. However, he declined to disclose the specific number of employees affected by the layoffs.

BlockBeats reported on July 28th that Atsuko Sato, owner of Kabosu, the Shiba Inu model for Doge, clarified that the recent series of CATE tokens circulating in the market have absolutely no connection to her. She stated that she had only posted a message on Instagram, but this content was subsequently used without authorization by others to issue fake tokens, creating the illusion of a connection to her. She expressed regret over this, pointing out that some accounts involved in spreading this information even included users with significant influence on the X platform.

She emphasized that Own The Doge is currently the only project officially authorized by her to manage her intellectual property. She explained that Own The Doge acquired Doge NFT in 2021 and launched the DOG token, while also being responsible for organizing Doge Day events, supporting charitable causes, and managing its intellectual property. In 2025, the two also collaborated to launch the COCORO token on the Base network.

She stated that the proceeds from these projects will be used to care for her pet family members and support withkabosu's animal protection charities. She urged the public to rely on official information and to be wary of any unauthorized projects or tokens issued under her name, avoiding being misled by crypto asset projects unrelated to her.

According to BlockBeats, on July 28, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the scale of long-term BTC holders transferring their positions to trading platforms has recently risen to a high level.

Currently, long-term holders account for 5.1% of the total Bitcoin inflows into trading platforms. This percentage is close to historical records, with only 2020 seeing a higher level, approaching 5.5%.

This change occurred after a significant drop in Bitcoin's price. Because it uses 90-day moving average data, this indicator has a certain lag, and the change doesn't immediately reflect the latest market dynamics. In the future, this trend will likely gradually stabilize, but current data shows that long-term holders have been significantly more active in trading recently.

According to BlockBeats, on July 28, the Myanmar parliament passed a law on Tuesday that allows for the death penalty for those who coerce others into engaging in online fraud through violence or illegal detention. According to the draft bill released in May, if such abuse results in the victim's death, "the death penalty should be imposed."

The new law also stipulates that those who operate online fraud parks or commit "digital currency fraud (cryptocurrency fraud)" can be sentenced to life imprisonment; while criminals who commit acts of violence, coercion, or illegal detention can be sentenced to 10 years to life imprisonment.
