MyTrade founder fined $10K over crypto wash trading

MyTrade founder Liu Zhou was fined $10,000 after admitting that his crypto market-making platform used bots to conduct wash trades for dozens of tokens.　　MyTrade founder receives $10,000 fine　　A federal court in Boston ordered Liu Zhou, the founder and primary operator of crypto market maker MyTrade, to pay a $10,000 fine for his role in a market-manipulation conspiracy.　　U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley imposed the sentence, according to the Department of Justice. Zhou, 41, is a Canadian citizen and Chinese national.　　Federal prosecutors charged Zhou alongside 17 alleged co-conspirators in October 2024. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit market manipulation and wire fraud.　　MyTrade provided market-making services through its MyTrade MM website and application. Its products included a feature called “Volume Support,” which allowed crypto projects to select how much artificial daily trading activity they wanted across specified exchanges.　　The platform then used automated bots to repeatedly buy and sell the same cryptocurrencies. Those transactions created the appearance of greater trading volume and market interest without serving a legitimate commercial purpose.　　FBI token exposed MyTrades wash-trading service　　U.S. authorities identified the scheme through an undercover operation involving NexFundAI, a fake crypto company created by law enforcement.　　Investigators launched a website and an Ethereum-based NexFundAI token, which traded

Here are the possible outcomes for Clarity right now

In other words, no news on cloture on Wednesday night might just be no news.　　In one scenario, Majority Leader John Thune files cloture on Wednesday night, gets through all of the Senates other priorities by Friday, holds the first procedural vote on Friday night and then everyone goes back to their districts to meet their constituents and campaign for reelection.　　In another, the Senate can break on Friday, Aug. 7, without taking any further steps on the Clarity Act.　　In that scenario, the Senate could still return in September and take up the Clarity Act once more. The Senate will also have to deal with funding the government and other issues at that time, and there are just 14 working days when the Senate is in session in September and October. This means it would likely be difficult to get the Clarity Act through, short of Senators agreeing to push it through. Its certainly possible it can get through Clarity in that time period, however.　　The legislative staffer told CoinDesk that if the outstanding issues are sorted through, the bill would easily have a chance at passage in September.　　Alternatively, the Senate could extend its working session through the weekend or into next week

Bitcoin‘s low volatility doesn’t necessarily mean low risk

“When volatility is cheap, traders can build directional positions and hedges at relatively low cost. If the market then moves through a level with concentrated positioning, dealer hedging can accelerate the move,” Adam Haeems, head of asset management at Tesseract Group, which manages $500 million in client assets, said in an email.　　“The practical implication is that low volatility should not be mistaken for low risk. It is a reason to be careful with leverage, particularly when trading volumes and market depth are subdued.”　　For now, BTC remains choppy below $65,000 with some green shoots.　　According to Paul Howard, a senior director at market-making firm Wincent, demand for puts, or downside protection, has weakened. At the same time, there is a lack of strong bids for upside exposure.　　“It indicates that the bear market is close to trading at its lowest price range for this cycle, arguably over the coming weeks,” he said in an email.　　“The asymmetry is not a bid for puts; it is the disappearance of the call bid. Nobody is paying for upside, and nobody is paying much for downside,” Glassnode said.　　According to Howard, the next big catalyst would be “some positive regulatory news such as with the Clarity Act, which

RWAs buck DeFi slowdown as tokenized assets gain traction: CoinShares

Real-world assets (RWAs) are gaining momentum as tokenized versions of traditional investments move beyond issuance and become active parts of onchain financial markets.　　RWA deposits across decentralized finance platforms more than tripled year over year to $7.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, while total DeFi deposits fell about 15%, according to a joint report by CoinShares and Token Terminal published Thursday.　　CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said the divergence shows that RWA demand is being driven by practical use cases rather than broader market conditions.　　“When an asset class grows through a downturn in its host ecosystem, demand is being driven by financial utility, not by market cycles,” he said.　　The report suggested that the RWA market is entering a new phase, with investors using them as collateral, yield-generating instruments and trading products across onchain markets.　　Yield-bearing stablecoins and Treasuries lead RWA deposits　　Yield-bearing stablecoins and tokenized Treasury products have emerged as the largest categories of RWA assets used across DeFi, according to the report.　　In Q2, Sky Protocols sUSDS led the category, giving holders exposure to a yield-generating version of its USDS stablecoin.　　Tokenized Treasury funds, including BlackRocks USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), have also become a major source of onchain collateral, as investors use

US Senate will vote on CLARITY crypto bill ‘without any question’ this week: Tim Scott

Senator Tim Scott, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, said that the chamber would vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act before it broke for an August recess, giving lawmakers just a few days to take action on the crypto bill.　　In a Thursday Fox Business interview, Scott said that the Senate “should have the first vote” on the CLARITY Act before lawmakers leave for state work periods this week. He added that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has the authority to set the agenda and schedule floor votes, still had time to announce a cloture vote on the crypto bill in the next few days.　　“The good news is we have the time to get it done,” said Scott.　　The South Carolina lawmaker‘s statement echoed comments from Senator Cynthia Lummis, who on Wednesday urged the Senate to take up a vote on CLARITY before the chamber’s August recess. Should Republican leaders schedule a vote, the bill would need support from 60 lawmakers to pass the Senate and advance in Congress.　　Among the issues still under discussion as of Thursday were concerns from many Democrats regarding US President Donald Trump‘s crypto investments and heads of the banking industry calling for the
