Massive bitcoin call spreads target $72,000 by month end, right when the Fed meets

SummaryTraders have bought $2.5 billion in notional bitcoin call spreads on Deribit, targeting $72,000 by July 31.The timing aligns with the Feds July 29 interest rate decision, with markets currently favoring a hold.　　Bitcoin traders are betting billions that the cryptocurrencys spot price will climb to $72,000 by the months end, a timeline that lines up with the July Federal Reserve meeting.　　They have done so this week with the help of Deribit-listed bitcoin call options, or derivative contracts that pay off when BTCs spot price surges beyond specific price levels by a certain date.　　According to Deribit, a total of 20,000 contracts of the $70,000 call expiring July 31 were purchased alongside a sale of 20,000 contracts of the $72,000 call of the same expiry. That amounts to $2.5 billion in notional value, the dollar value of 40,000 contracts, each representing 1 bitcoin.　　This is known as a bull call spread, a strategy initiated when expecting a moderate rise in the price of the underlying asset.　　Think of it as buying a ticket that pays out if bitcoin rises to $70,000, while selling away the gains above $72,000 to lower the cost of that ticket. The trade-off: a lower entry cost and lower maximum

Tokenization has become a strategic priority for 84% of financial firms

On Wednesday, DTCC completed its first live production trades involving tokenized securities, marking a major step toward bringing blockchain technology into traditional financial markets.　　Broadridges findings suggest those efforts are influencing the broader industry. Sixty-eight percent of respondents said tokenization will at least partially reshape financial markets within the next three to five years, while nearly one-third plan to increase investment in tokenization projects by 26% to 50% or more over the next two years.　　The survey also found firms are not preparing for an all-onchain future. Instead, 92% expect digital and traditional assets to coexist for the foreseeable future, and 69% plan to integrate tokenization into existing infrastructure rather than build separate blockchain-native systems.　　That mirrors the approach taken by many large financial institutions, which have generally focused on connecting blockchain networks to existing trading, custody and settlement systems instead of replacing them.　　Adoption remains uneven across the industry. Forty-four percent of capital markets firms said they already have tokenization initiatives in production or operating at scale, compared with 20% of asset managers and 9% of wealth managers.　　The survey also pointed to where firms expect tokenization to gain traction first. About 80% of respondents believe tokenized mutual funds and money market funds will

South Korea weighs new legal framework for seizing self custodied crypto

South Korean tax officials have proposed amendments to the countrys Criminal Procedure Act to establish a legal framework for seizing self-custodied digital assets, arguing that existing rules do not adequately cover wallets controlled through private keys.　　SummarySouth Korean tax officials have proposed changes to criminal law to allow the seizure of self custodied digital assets.The proposal sets out warrant requirements and recommends court supervised joint wallets to store seized crypto assets.The recommendations follow recent efforts by the National Tax Service to strengthen crypto custody after a security breach exposed seized assets.　　According to Digital Asset, four officials from South Korea‘s National Tax Service, including investigation team leader Jang Hee-won, published a paper in the June edition of the Korea Institute of Criminology and Justice’s Criminal Policy Research journal outlining legislative changes for handling self-custodied virtual assets during criminal investigations.　　The proposal focuses on digital assets held directly by individuals through private keys rather than those stored with exchanges or other third-party custodians. Personal wallets, including hardware wallets, fall into this category.　　Existing law leaves gaps for self-custodied assets　　The paper points to a 2025 South Korean Supreme Court ruling that found investigators acted lawfully when seizing Bitcoin held in an exchange wallet.

US agencies miss GENIUS Act deadline for final stablecoin rules

US regulatory agencies missed Saturdays rulemaking deadline under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, one year after the law was signed.　　While several regulatory agencies published proposed rules and collected public feedback during the past year, no final regulations were issued before the deadline.　　Those agencies include the Department of the Treasury, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve Board, according to rulemaking trackers by law firm Chapman and crypto investment company Paradigm.　　Missing the statutory deadline does not invalidate the GENIUS Act, but the unfinished rules could result in regulatory uncertainty for stablecoin issuers.　　The GENIUS Act established the first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for stablecoins in the US. The act was signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025.　　Related: ABA, state banking groups push back on CLARITY Act stablecoin yield provisions　　Treasury issued four rule proposals since law signing　　Of the 10 notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) issued since since the GENIUS Act was signed into law, the Treasury Department issued the most proposals, four, covering the broader implementation of the act, including standards for determining whether state stablecoin regulatory regimes are similar to

AI boom could make ASML Europes first trillion-dollar company

The biggest ASML story is no longer just its earnings—it is the growing belief that the company could become Europes first trillion-dollar company. It is expected to be driven by its dominant position in the AI semiconductor supply chain. ASML has increased its forecast revenue for 2026 to a range of between €43 billion and €45 billion ($49 billion to $51 billion), and it announced an expansion of manufacturing capacity by 30% in the next two years.　　The significance of the news extends beyond the Netherlands-based provider of chip-making hardware. ASML is the sole supplier of the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography system in the world; the companys capability to manufacture more equipment will help eliminate one of the main limitations hampering the race for global AI capabilities.　　For most of the past year, the pace of AI technology growth has been tied to a single corporation located in Veldhoven. ASMLs EUV systems can produce the highest-quality chips for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and memory manufacturers Samsung and SK Hynix. But this time, the company provided more than just advertising of their growth plans.　　The yearly Low-Numerical Aperture (NA) EUV production capacity might grow from 65 in 2026 to 85 in 2027, and
