📊 Arthur Hayes believes that Bitcoin is currently under pressure not from weak demand, but from the AI boom — large amounts of money are flowing into AI companies, infrastructure, and future IPOs, making crypto's liquidity much weaker.
Against this backdrop, his Maelstrom fund dumped HYPE, NEAR, WLD, and ZEC, leaving only BTC and ETH.
Saylor voiced a similar idea.

🥺 Michael Saylor believes, that the current decline of the first cryptocurrency is not due to a loss of interest in BTC, but with a massive capital reallocation into the AI sector.
According to him, over the past six months, markets have directed approximately $400 billion to AI development, while from Bitcoin ETFs since mid-May approximately $4 billion has been withdrawn — but he calls volatility not a problem, but an opportunity for investors.

🦅 In Russia, they want to oblige crypto exchanges to automatically withhold personal income tax (PIT) from clients, as is already planned for brokers and other market participants.
If the initiative is adopted, users will not have to calculate the tax themselves — exchanges will do it for them and transfer the money to the budget.
@DeCenterOrg
🇷🇺 Russian authorities plan to restrict access for unqualified investors to some cryptocurrencies that the authorities deem risky — even USDT and BNB could fall under these restrictions, buying them will not be prohibited, but additional fees, risk warnings, and other protective measures may be introduced.
The main argument of officials is — issuers of such coins are capable of freezing user assets. A complete ban was discussed, but the market opposed it, so the authorities decided to leave access to these assets, strengthening control and investor protection.

🐳 A whale played the correction beautifully — before the drop, sold ETH, wstETH, and WBTC for almost $190 million, and after the crash, bought back the assets cheaper.
By rough estimates, such a rearrangement gave him up to $38,000,000 in savings on entry.
@DeCenterOrg
🐹 ZachXBT accused Arthur Hayes of a Pump & Dump scheme, stating that he first actively promotes tokens, and then unloads positions onto his own subscribers — Hayes, in response, told everyone to f*ck off, stating that he is simply taking profit as part of his trading strategy.

🪙 In the Fidelity vault, where part of the Strategy coins are held, over the week, there were approximately 15,000 BTC less.
Now the market is waiting for Monday — if Saylor announces the sale of bitcoins for bond payments, this will give the company a little more time, but it will show that MicroStrategy's strategy is already working hard at its limit.

🇪🇺 From July 1, the MiCA transitional period actually ends in the EU — crypto companies must now operate under a single CASP license, which can be "passported" across the entire European Union.
This is market maturation, but not a gift for startups — capital, compliance, IT security, and DORA requirements make entry expensive and complex.
In essence, Europe is closing the era of crypto-anarchy — it will become increasingly difficult for small players to survive, and the main beneficiaries will be banks, large exchanges, and companies with strong infrastructure.
The license does not guarantee earnings — it rather becomes an expensive pass into a market where margins are already low.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 In the USA, for the first time, a mortgage was arranged where Bitcoin was used as collateral for a home purchase — the borrower did not have to sell BTC for the down payment.
The transaction was carried out according to Fannie Mae standards, meaning crypto was tested for the first time not in a private crypto loan, but within the classical US mortgage system.

🇬🇧 Russia imposed sanctions against a 17-year-old Brit for a study, in which he accused A7A5 of circumventing Western sanctions — in March, the teenager published a report claiming that the ruble stablecoin is backed by deposits from Russia's Promsvyazbank and used to evade restrictions.
The guy himself stated that his work "hit a nerve" with the Russian government, and called on Western countries to increase pressure on exchanges that allow converting A7A5 into cash.
According to CertiK, the stablecoin processed over $110 billion in transactions, despite sanctions from the US, EU, and UK.
@DeCenterOrg
🇷🇺 The Central Bank wants to take into account experience with cryptocurrencies when obtaining qualified investor status — if a person has already invested in such "risky instruments" as crypto, this may be considered confirmation of experience for access to other complex assets.
The amendments are planned to be included in the general package of laws on cryptocurrency regulation in Russia, which is currently being finalized for the second reading in the State Duma.
