1 Trump pauses strikes against Iran! Iran says the U.S. is seeking to exit the war; Hormuz talks make progress
On July 24, U.S. President Trump ordered the U.S. military to pause strike operations against Iran, breaking the previous streak of airstrikes lasting 13 consecutive days. A spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, Shekarchi, said the U.S. is currently seeking a new strategy and that a decision to exit the war is not ruled out. Iran and Oman have held multiple rounds of consultations on the shipping management of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the talks were "productive" and achieved some progress. Driven by easing geopolitical risk, the crypto market rallied persistently over the weekend: Bitcoin surged toward $65k, while Ethereum and Solana’s gains expanded to over 2%, and Dogecoin rose more than 5%.
Market impact assessment: Positive (the marginal risk of military escalation has been sharply reduced; risk appetite rebounds)
Affected assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, entire market

2 BTC+ETH ETFs see outflows of $310 million on the same day! BTC ends a seven-day inflow streak; ETH ends a five-day inflow streak
According to SoSoValue data, on July 24 (Friday), U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded $240 million in net outflows, with BlackRock IBIT accounting for $212 million in redemptions. On the same day, ETH ETFs saw outflows of $70.62 million, ending the previous five-day record of $211 million in combined inflows. Despite the single-day outflows, BTC ETFs still posted net inflows for three consecutive weeks. For July, ETH ETFs have accumulated net inflows of $338 million, and the monthly trend remains positive. Analysts noted that the short-term outflows were related to rising U.S. Treasury yields and a selloff in tech stocks, rather than deterioration in fundamentals.
Market impact assessment: Neutral to negative (single-day outflows interrupt the momentum, but week/month-level trends remain positive)
Affected assets: BTC, ETH, spot BTC/ETH ETF concepts

3 No one exits ETH staking! The exit queue hits zero; 25k ETH waiting to enter staking; staking rate reaches a new all-time high
According to ValidatorQueue data, Ethereum validator exit queues have been completely cleared—zero ETH is waiting to exit. Meanwhile, more than 2.5 million ETH is queued to enter staking, with an estimated waiting period of about 44 days. Currently, total staked ETH across the network is nearly 41 million, and the staking rate is at 33.6% of circulating supply, setting a new all-time high for the network. More notably, annualized staking yield has fallen from 3.05% to 2.62%, while issuance has risen from 0.757% to 0.842%. Investors are still adding to positions, indicating strong confidence in ETH’s long-term value. Last year’s Q3 exit queue swelled to 2.6 million and waited 45 days; now the narrative has completely flipped.
Market impact assessment: Positive (staked supply locking up limits sell pressure; a long-term confidence indicator)
Affected assets: ETH, Lido, staking track

4 CLARITY bill sprints into the Senate! With 100 days to the midterms, crypto voters pressure Congress over 1 million times to contact them
With only 100 days left until the 2026 midterm elections, a Stand With Crypto survey shows nearly 70% of crypto holders believe crypto policy will affect voting. Industry supporters have contacted Congress more than 1 million times to support the CLARITY bill. But the Senate’s time window is narrowing: the two parties are clashing intensely over crypto ethics provisions, and Galaxy Research has lowered the probability of passage. If it’s not advanced before the August recess, the election-year politics will make major legislation more difficult.
Market impact assessment: Neutral to positive (rising political attention is a positive, but passage uncertainty remains)
Affected assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, entire industry compliance concepts

On July 27, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published an information collection notice in the Federal Register, kicking off the payment stablecoin issuance licensing application process under the GENIUS bill.

Market impact assessment: Positive (U.S. stablecoin regulation moves from legislation to implementation, increasing industry compliance certainty)
Affected assets: USDC, USDT, stablecoin sector, RWA tokenization concepts
