Supreme Court ruling on FTC removals raises fresh uncertainty for SEC and CFTC crypto coordination
On June 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president can remove Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioners without cause, overturning the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent. Although the case focused on the FTC, its reasoning also applies to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which share similar multimember structures and protections. The decision does not change the SEC’s or CFTC’s statutory authority, but it strengthens White House influence over how they pursue enforcement and rulemaking as the agencies coordinate crypto oversight aligned with the Trump administration’s “crypto capital of the world” push. That shift could make crypto rulemaking more sensitive to political cycles.

Fake Polymarket trading bot on GitHub spreads infostealer via 30 malicious npm packages

Binance faces UK group claim over alleged retail perp sales after 2021 FCA ban
Before July 1, 2026, 1,692 UK investors filed a group claim in London’s High Court seeking at least £150m from Binance Holdings, Nest Exchange and Changpeng Zhao, alleging unauthorised sales of crypto derivatives including perpetuals to retail users after the UK ban took effect in 2021. The lawsuit puts cross-border controls such as geofencing under scrutiny, testing whether global exchanges truly blocked UK retail access. The claim does not cover spot trading or staking, but it could raise expectations for tougher IP, payments and identity checks and encourage compliant perpetuals to shift toward licensed venues in the US and Europe.

Venga wins CNMV authorization as MiCA-licensed crypto asset service provider ahead of transition deadline
Venga has been authorized by Spain’s Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), qualifying it as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The approval was granted just weeks before MiCA’s transitional period ends, making it one of the early licenses issued under the new framework. CA is Venga’s native token and is used for payments, staking and governance, with its positioning centered on EU-compliant infrastructure support. The license confirms Venga’s operating entity has cleared the EU’s highest regulatory entry bar, strengthening CA’s perceived utility and credibility in compliance-focused use cases.

Donald Trump’s 2025 annual financial disclosure, certified on June 30, lists exposure to a wide range of crypto assets and related income, including $635,068,835 in TRUMP memecoin-linked royalties, $236,250,000 in World Liberty Financial token-sale proceeds, and 15,750,000,000 WLF governance tokens valued at over $50 million.

Polymarket traders put the chances of the bill being signed in 2026 at 48%, down from 74% in May.

Taiwan passes Virtual Asset Service Act on June 30, naming FSC sole crypto regulator
Taiwan’s legislature passed the Virtual Asset Service Act on June 30, creating the island’s first dedicated cryptocurrency law and placing the Financial Supervisory Commission in charge as the sole regulator. The bill shifts VASPs into a full licensing regime and sets Taiwan’s first stablecoin rules, allowing only banks to issue domestic stablecoins backed 1:1 by fiat reserves. Offshore stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are classified as regulated commodities and would require FSC approval and listing on a licensed local exchange to circulate to Taiwan users. The law is expected to take effect in early 2027, with implementing rules due by Q1 2027.
