Typically US macro releases influence Bitcoin and altcoin prices as they affect the sentiment among traders. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index used to identify the sentiment shows that traders are “greedy”, echoing the sentiment from yesterday, last week and last month. Greed implies there is demand among traders for cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin price could face volatility, traders could support demand for altcoins. A shake up in altcoin prices could be followed by a recovery in the coming week. Expert commentary Bitunix analysts told Crypto.news in a written note that the U.S. is currently in trade negotiations with key partners and this could act as a catalyst for altcoins and Bitcoin. Analysts said: “The U.S. is currently in intensive trade negotiations with key partners, including the EU, Japan, South Korea, India, and Vietnam. If stagflation becomes a reality, it could negatively impact risk assets in the mid-term. The crypto market may face profit-taking pressure and capital outflows. Watch BTC key support at $103,000 and resistance at $110,500. A conservative approach is advised — raise stop-loss awareness, avoid trading during periods of high volatility, and monitor trade negotiation developments closely”.

Ripple has announced that its XRP Ledger (XRPL) has integrated with Wormhole, one of the leading cross-chain protocols, in an effort to increase its multi-chain compatibility. According to the company's statement today, this integration will take place on the XRPL mainnet and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain. “This integration with Wormhole will enable cross-chain messaging, asset transfers, and token issuance across multiple chains,” Ripple said in a statement. This move aligns with Ripple’s goal of making XRPL a central part of the on-chain infrastructure of corporate finance. Related News: As Terra Founder Do Kwon Appears in Court, Terra Classic (LUNC) Receives Major Update Today - Here Are the Details Wormhole’s services are already used by major financial institutions that deal with digital assets, such as BlackRock, Securitize, and Apollo. “Cross-chain compatibility is essential for true mass adoption,” said Ripple CTO and XRPL co-founder David Schwartz. Schwartz said that thanks to the integration, tokens issued directly on the XRP Ledger can be moved to different networks, maintaining control and local issuance in the process. June has been a busy month for Ripple. XRPL has started supporting Circle’s USDC stablecoin on mainnet. DeFi platform Ondo Finance added XRPL to its supported networks for its US government bond-based products. Ripple also announced plans to launch its EVM-compatible sidechain in the second quarter of this year. The new integration will allow developers and institutional investors to move digital assets across more than 35 supported blockchains, while also enabling cross-chain smart contract interactions. *This is not investment advice.

Offshore perpetuals come with counterparty risk, custody concerns, and regulatory uncertainty. Coinbase’s new U.S.-based alternative offers leverage without the baggage, bringing a potential game-changer for cautious but yield-hungry traders. In an a nnouncement on June 26, crypto exchange Coinbase revealed plans to launch U.S. Perpetual-Style Futures on its derivatives platform—marking one of the first regulated attempts to replicate the functionality of offshore perpetual contracts. Slated for a July 21 rollout, the products will feature nano-sized Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) futures with an unusually long five-year expiration, coupled with a funding rate mechanism to maintain alignment with spot prices. Unlike traditional quarterly futures, these contracts will trade 24/7, accrue funding hourly, and settle twice daily. The structure is designed to appeal to both retail and institutional traders seeking perpetual-like exposure without the legal gray areas of offshore venues. You might also like: Judge rejects SEC, Ripple motion on XRP sales and $125m penalty A regulated answer to an offshore dominated market Coinbase’s move is a strategic play to capture a market that has, until now, existed largely in regulatory limbo. Perpetual futures dominate crypto trading globally, accounting for nearly 93% of all crypto derivatives volume, according to Cornell research. Yet U.S. traders have been locked out of this liquidity, forced to either accept clunky, expiration-bound contracts or take their business to offshore exchanges like Bybit and Binance, where regulatory oversight is minimal and counterparty risk remains high. With its new five-year expiring contracts, Coinbase is attempting to repackage the perpetual model in a way that fits within U.S. legal parameters. Unlike traditional futures, which reset quarterly and often drift from spot prices, Coinbase’s contracts apply hourly funding payments to tether positions closely to market rates. Traders pay or receive funding every 12 hours based on long or short positioning, a system borrowed from offshore perpetuals but streamlined for U.S. compliance. The nano sizing (0.01 BTC and 0.10 ETH) lowers the barrier to entry, appealing to retail traders who might otherwise avoid futures entirely. Critically, the five-year expiration is a nod to long-term holders. Most crypto derivatives require rollovers every few months, creating friction for multi-year strategies. By minimizing expiration pressure, Coinbase is betting that traders will prefer holding these contracts over juggling quarterly expiries or risking exposure on offshore platforms. If successful, Coinbase’s initiative could pressure rivals to launch similar hybrid instruments, reshaping the U.S. crypto derivatives landscape.

A woman in British Columbia recently lost CA$60,000 after being targeted in an elaborate “bank courier” scam. In May, a scammer called the victim, 68, pretending to represent her bank and claiming that her cards had been compromised, per a press release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The scammer said a courier would come to collect her old cards and sent a driver from a rideshare company to pick them up. An hour later, the same scammer told the woman that all of her financial accounts had been compromised and sent a second rideshare “courier” to pick up all of her cards. The scammer also obtained the victim’s PINs over the phone and used the stolen cards and her personal info to drain CA$60,000 ($43,687) from her account. Police have tracked down one of the rideshare drivers, who is cooperating with the investigation, but they have been unable to locate the second driver. RCMP investigators say the victim’s cards were driven to the parking lot of a Home Depot, where they were picked up by a man wearing a face covering. The RCMP says it will continue to investigate the crime but notes that the chances of recovering stolen funds are low. Similar “bank courier” scams occurred in New York state earlier this year.

The regulator of the United States’ largest mortgage provider has ordered that cryptocurrencies be listed as mortgage assets. According to Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director William Pulte on the social media platform X, mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been told to “count cryptocurrency” as an asset in mortgage loan applications. “After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage.” Source: William Pulte/X Per the image of the order shared on the social media platform, the only digital assets that will count will be those held on a US-regulated crypto exchange. “U.S. Federal Housing FHFA, as conservator, hereby directs each Enterprise to prepare a proposal for consideration of cryptocurrency as an asset for reserves in their respective single-family mortgage loan risk assessments, without conversion of said cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars. Each Enterprise is directed to consider only cryptocurrency assets that can be evidenced and stored on a US-regulated centralized exchange subject to all applicable laws.” The FHFA has regulated and controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ever since the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis spurred, in part, by the lenders.
