According to Odaily Planet Daily, Elvira Nabiullina, Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, stated that Law 1194918-8, which distinguishes between qualified and unqualified investors, is not only applicable to the cryptocurrency sector but is a common regulatory arrangement. Nabiullina explained that the limited scope of participation for unqualified investors is due to government legislation protecting them from uninformed risks. She pointed out that these measures also cover the crypto ecosystem because of market volatility and the potential seizure of foreign digital assets linked to Russia. Law 1194918-8 is expected to take effect on September 1st, coinciding with the launch of the digital ruble. The law stipulates a purchase limit of 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,800) for unqualified investors, while the limit for qualified investors is ten times that amount. Nabiullina stated that the Russian crypto ecosystem remains open, and the repatriation and transfer of digital assets abroad are unrestricted. She added that investors receiving assets abroad are not protected under Russian law, and any issues arising must be resolved within the foreign jurisdiction.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that increased Bitcoin momentum, ETF demand, and institutional adoption may be early signs of a new crypto bull market, driven by factors including tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial markets. Hougan noted that since July 1st, Bitcoin has risen 9%, while the Nasdaq 100 has fallen 6%. He stated that market sentiment and ETF flows have improved, but the market has not yet confirmed a bottom. Hougan believes the next crypto cycle will focus on the integration of blockchain technology with traditional finance, including stablecoins, tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and the expansion of institutional DeFi to trillions of dollars. Hougan sees Hyperliquid and Robinhood as two paths for on-chain finance. He stated that nearly half of Hyperliquid's trading volume comes from traditional assets such as crude oil, silver, and the S&P 500, while Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1st to support tokenized stocks and DeFi services.
