The regulators framework defines a sandbox as a controlled environment for testing eligible financial technology with live users and set operating limits.  Zimbabwes sandbox places tokenization at the centre  Zimbabwe Entrepreneurship Exchange will test a blockchain-based capital-raising platform. Ndarama Standard focuses on asset tokenization, while Questview Brokers will test synthetic trading. Crowdaxe Capital operates a web-based crowdfunding platform intended to connect businesses seeking capital with investors.  The remaining projects deepen the tokenization focus. Procode Platforms is testing securities tokenization, FINSEC is working on an asset-tokenization market, and Colmin Resources Zimbabwe is developing an infrastructure-tokenization project. Industry disclosures show that FINSEC and Zimbabwe Entrepreneurship Exchange had received project-specific regulatory approvals before SECZ published the consolidated participant notice.

Is the US Natural Gas undervalued?

In this article I will talk about the U.S. benchmark natural gas futures contract traded on NYMEX (Henry Hub Natural Gas; CME Globex code: NG) and will attempt to objectively answer a straightforward question: ‘is the U.S. natural gas currently undervalued?’. I will conclude with my market outlook and whether I am currently buying or selling.  Current price context  The U.S. natural gas front-month futures contract (NGQ26) settled at $2.767 per Million British thermal units (MMBtu) on 27 July 2026, down 3.62% on the day. On the continuation chart, natural gas lost more than 16% in value this month and is down almost 20% since 1 June. It currently sits at 11-week low, below all key daily moving averages.  The current price is also well below both the prior-year average of $3.621 and the running five-year average price of $3.818. Furthermore, a substantial disconnect exists between natural gas pricing at Henry Hub and global benchmarks, such as Title Transfer Facility (TTF) in Europe and Japan Korea Marker (JKM) in Asia. Although this disparity is partly the result of major structural differences in supply access, it is still quite substantial. Yesterday, TTF settled at $19.398 per MMBtu, while JKM settled at $21.43 per MMBtu,

PayPal expands stablecoin push as crypto assets factor into Q2 results

PayPal highlighted growth of stablecoins and AI-driven payment tools in Q2 while reporting $8.68 billion in revenue and an $81 million crypto-related earnings adjustment.  Global payments giant PayPal highlighted stablecoins and artificial intelligence-driven payment tools as part of its second-quarter strategy while crypto assets remained part of its earnings reconciliation.  PayPal reported Q2 earnings of $1.26 per share on Tuesday, compared with $1.30 per share in the same period last year and below analysts $1.28 estimate. Revenue reached $8.68 billion, up from $8.29 billion a year earlier and above the $8.47 billion analyst consensus.  The company also recorded an $81 million non-GAAP adjustment related to gains and losses from strategic investments and crypto assets held for investment. PayPal said it excludes gains and losses from strategic investments and crypto assets held for investment from non-GAAP results because it does not actively trade those assets or rely on them to fund ongoing operations.

Meme Coins Price Prediction: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, MemeCore

Dogecoin tests key support as sellers defend major EMA resistance levels.SHIB holds above short-term support despite failing to clear key resistance.MemeCore remains bearish unless buyers reclaim the 20-day EMA resistance.  Meme coins remain under pressure as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and MemeCore struggle to build sustainable recoveries. Their daily charts show different degrees of weakness, but sellers still control the broader trend. DOGE trades near a critical support zone, while SHIB attempts to protect its recent recovery.  Meanwhile, MemeCore continues to consolidate after suffering a steep decline. Consequently, the three tokens need important technical breakthroughs before traders can expect stronger bullish momentum.  Dogecoin trades around $0.06994 and remains below its major exponential moving averages. The 20-day EMA at $0.07250 now represents the first significant hurdle for buyers. Additionally, the 50-day EMA near $0.07761 reinforces the bearish structure.  The 100-day and 200-day EMAs remain higher at $0.08546 and $0.10175. Hence, DOGE needs sustained buying interest to challenge its broader downtrend.  Dogecoin Price Dynamics (Source: Trading View)  The $0.06945 Fibonacci level provides immediate support. A daily close below that level could expose $0.0650. Conversely, reclaiming $0.07250 could improve sentiment and support a move toward $0.07488.

Bitcoin‘s recent stability hasn’t been enough to spark a broader altcoin rally

While bitcoin BTC  $63,378.18 and ether (ETH) are under pressure, their prices remain above their respective 50-day averages, a bullish sign. The broader market isnt so lucky.  The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is widely tracked as a near-term trend gauge. Price breaks above that level are taken as a sign that bullish momentum is building. Right now, only 29 of the top 100 coins, including the two largest, are trading above their respective 50-day averages. So the breadth remains decisively bearish.  It looks even worse when compared with the Nasdaq 100 breadth. As of Monday, 47 stocks from the index traded above their 50-day SMAs.  This shows that the stability seen since the BTC selloff stalled below $58,000 on June 1 has yet to spill over into the wider crypto market. But there is hope. Ether, the bellwether of altcoins, has recently outperformed bitcoin, raising hopes that soon other coins could catch a strong bid.  A lot depends on the Fed‘s interest-rate decision due Wednesday and the cues (if any, given Chair Kevin Warsh’s reticence to provide forward guidance) about the interest-rate trajectory.

World Liberty Financial moves $1.4M WLFI to exchange – Buyers hold $0.0516 support

World Liberty Financial transferred 25.729 million WLFI tokens worth approximately $1.4 million to Gate, renewing concerns over persistent distribution.  The transfer followed a period in which WLFI briefly surged more than 30% in a single day before quickly reversing into another decline.  That sequence reinforced the view that large transfers continued weighing on market confidence instead of supporting recovery.  Market participants also focused on the timing because the transfer arrived while the token traded close to an established support zone.  However, the price held above the lower boundary despite renewed selling concerns. The reaction suggested buyers still defended key levels, although conviction remained limited.  Investors now watched whether additional large transfers would continue extending supply pressure or whether exchange activity would begin stabilizing.  Why did bearish traders keep dominating WLFI?  Futures positioning continued favoring downside expectations as Binance top traders maintained a bearish bias. Short accounts represented 55.36% of positions, while long accounts accounted for only 44.64%.  This produced a Long/Short Ratio of 0.81, reflecting stronger confidence among bearish traders throughout the latest session.  Such positioning aligned with the market reaction following the reported token transfer, as participants appeared reluctant to increase bullish exposure despite price stabilization.  However, the imbalance did not guarantee another sharp decline because crowded short positioning

Ethereum Withdrawals From BitMart Surge After Wind-Down Notice

Ethereum withdrawals from BitMart have jumped to their highest level in a year. Users are rushing to pull ETH before the exchange finishes winding down its trading platform.  The exchange had frozen withdrawals briefly, then reopened them within the last day. That reopening triggered an immediate rush for the exits.  BitMarts move followed a July 26 announcement confirming it would shut down trading entirely over the coming months. Years of declining liquidity had already pushed the exchange out of the top 10 by trading volume. The notice still caught many remaining users off guard.  Ethereum Withdrawals Hit a 2026 High  Data tracked via the blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant highlights this massive exodus. The metrics reveal Ethereum withdrawal transactions from BitMart climbing past every prior reading since July 2025. That marks a clear signal that holders are moving funds off the exchange while they still can.  The surge tracks closely with BitMarts own shutdown timeline. Registrations, deposits, and new trading orders paused on July 26. Full trading services end on August 26. Withdrawals stay open through January 2027, giving remaining users a narrow but real window to retrieve their holdings before the final deadline.  BitMarts exit adds to a run of 2026 shutdowns.

Binance phishs its own staff monthly, India censors BitChat code: Asia Express

Binance ‘red teams’ its own staff every month to keep hackers out  Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has been running simulated phishing attacks against its own employees for the past four years and can fire staff who repeatedly fail the tests, according to Binance chief security officer Jimmy Su.  The fake attacks are conducted by Binances red team, an internal ethical hacking unit whose job is to break into systems to identify vulnerabilities.  “We do phishing attacks on our own employees on a monthly basis just so we understand if our security hygiene is improving,” Su told Cointelegraph. “The ones that have failed it, we will do remediation training.”  In February, AMLBot estimated that 65% of crypto security incidents in 2025 were driven by social engineering.  India‘s BitChat GitHub takedown order ’unconstitutional  Indias Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) has condemned a government order directing GitHub to remove repositories for Jack Dorseys decentralized messaging app BitChat, calling the move unconstitutional and warning it threatens free speech and open-source software.  The statement came a day after Indias cybercrime agency ordered GitHub to disable access to three BitChat repositories within three hours, saying the decentralized messaging app could be used to bypass internet shutdowns, evade lawful surveillance and facilitate unlawful activities.
