July 2025 marked a turning point for the crypto universe. Between the breakthrough of stablecoins, the collapse of Bitcoin reserves, and global regulatory advancements, five major events are shaping a new dynamic. Here’s what you definitely should not have missed.

Digital assets are creeping into the corridors of mainstream finance, and this time, stablecoin issuer Circle is joining forces with a Florida-based fintech firm to bring USDC to more retail customers and businesses. This partnership aims to offer U.S. citizens a trusted digital dollar option for both local and cross-border transactions.

As cryptocurrencies reshape the global financial balance, the Trump administration reveals its strategic response. An anticipated report from the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets lays the groundwork for an explicit pro-crypto framework: innovation encouraged, regulation strengthened. This ambitious plan aims to propel the United States to the forefront of the technological race while asserting its economic sovereignty against the rise of rival actors.

PayPal is doubling down on crypto. The payments giant just revealed a new checkout feature that lets U.S. merchants accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and major stablecoins like USDT and USDC.

The company has registered two potential stablecoin-linked entities, Jcoin and Joycoin, through its fintech arm JD Coinlink Technology, just days before the city’s new framework takes effect.

Interest in stablecoins is reaching unprecedented heights. As the market capitalization crosses the historic threshold of 270 billion dollars, Google searches are literally skyrocketing. Does this rush towards stable digital currencies coincide with the adoption of the GENIUS law?

European monetary sovereignty is wavering. In the face of the meteoric rise of dollar stablecoins, the ECB admits its limitations. The digital euro alone will not be enough. To avoid ceding more power to the United States, the Union must bet on private innovation, euro stablecoins, and decentralized technologies. A call for boldness.

When Trump plays the central banker by launching his own crypto, Warren sounds the alarm: regulate, yes. Offer a safe haven for billionaires, no. To be continued under the gilding...

Just one week after the U.S. passed its first comprehensive crypto legislation, the stablecoin market has added over $4 billion in fresh supply entering circulation. The newly signed GENIUS Act is already changing the sector. By providing a federal framework for fiat-backed stablecoins, it gives banks, asset managers, and fintech startups a regulatory greenlight. It allows for new capital, new players, and a clear path forward for tokenized dollars.

Less than a week after the approval of the GENIUS Act, two giants in the financial space, Anchorage Digital and Ethena Labs, have joined forces to launch a U.S. version of the offshore USDtb stablecoin. This digital dollar will become the first stablecoin to debut in line with the recently enacted stablecoin regulation bill.

Polymarket wants to launch its own stablecoin.

Tether, once allergic to regulation, now bows to Washington. Opportunism? Late awakening? Crypto is opening a highway... but watch out for the toll!

July 18, 2025, will remain a key date for the crypto ecosystem. XRP set a new historical record at $3.65, surpassing its 2018 high. However, beyond this spike, a shift in regulatory era is beginning. By signing the Genius Act, President Donald Trump sends a clear signal: the United States intends to frame, not hinder, crypto innovation. This political recognition has immediately catalyzed momentum around Ripple, placing XRP at the heart of the financial and institutional dynamics of the sector.

When Trump regulates cryptos and legalizes his own stablecoins, it smells like a full-on electoral strategy. But who will oversee the genius of the GENIUS Act? Not the children, apparently.

As the United States has just reached a decisive milestone by voting in the House on several groundbreaking laws regulating stablecoins, major American banks are already sharpening their strategies. Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan are quietly preparing to launch their own stablecoins.

After years of uncertainty and tug-of-war between innovation and crypto regulation, the United States finally seems ready to define its course on the burning issue of crypto. On July 17, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) heralded a historic legislative turning point: the passage of the GENIUS Act in the House of Representatives. This ambitious text, now on its way to Donald Trump's desk for enactment, aims to lay the groundwork for clear, proactive, and decidedly future-oriented regulation. Behind the acronyms and well-rehearsed speeches, a message is emerging: crypto is no longer a regulatory anomaly but a strategic lever for the American economy.

JPMorgan and Citigroup are stepping into the stablecoin space as fintech competition intensifies and U.S. lawmakers push ahead with new crypto regulations under the GENIUS Act, signaling a broader shift in traditional banking.

Tether is doing well with 160 billion USDT, but beneath the stablecoin surface, audits are glaringly absent... and American senators are sharpening their legislative blades.

On Tuesday, in a turn as unexpected as it is symbolic, the United States House of Representatives canceled crucial votes on two major cryptocurrency bills. This setback, occurring during the height of "Crypto Week," follows a procedural failure that exposes the deep political divisions surrounding the regulation of digital assets. While attention was focused on the imminent adoption of the "Clarity" and "GENIUS" texts, discussions are now stalled, casting uncertainty on the future of the U.S. crypto framework.

While the United States bets on open regulation of stablecoins with the GENIUS Act, China takes a more discreet approach. In Shanghai, a closed-door meeting among regulators reveals a willingness to experiment, without easing control.

Stablecoins have become a widely used medium of cross-border transactions, especially for retail payments and other overseas remittances. Despite the growing adoption, some within the banking circles have expressed skepticism about these digital fiat-pegged assets. A prominent banking personality even warned the world's largest banks against issuing their own stablecoins.
