TRON Gasless USDT Volume Hits $3B As Stablecoin Payments Get Smoother
TRON’s gasless USDT transfer volume has reached roughly $3 billion over a weekly period, showing how much demand there is for stablecoin payments that do not force users to think about native gas tokens.
The figure relates to active settlement volume, not total value locked. That distinction matters. This is about how much value is moving through gasless USDT transfers, not how much capital is sitting inside DeFi protocols.
TRON’s gasless transfer model lets users send USDT without separately holding TRX to pay network fees.
3 Altcoins Decline as Binance Flags Delisting Risk
Binance added Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK), and Stacks (STX) to its Monitoring Tag on July 24, signaling all three now carry delisting risk on the world’s largest crypto exchange.
The tag marks tokens that show higher volatility and risk than other listed assets. Binance reviews these projects regularly and can delist them if they fail to meet its criteria.
Why the Binance Monitoring Tag Matters
The Monitoring Tag is Binance’s warning system for assets it deems higher risk. It does not remove a token right away.
Instead, it puts projects on notice.
Hashi Testnet Brings Bitcoin Collateral Experiments To Sui
Hashi has launched a testnet on Sui, giving developers a sandbox for a Bitcoin-backed lending design that uses native BTC collateral and a Guardian Layer security model.
The protocol’s GitHub materials describe a system built around multi-layer transaction security, including MPC threshold signatures and a 2-of-2 multisig flow between validators and independent guardians.
That sounds technical, and it is, but the goal is easy to understand: bring Bitcoin into Sui-based DeFi without pretending that cross-chain BTC collateral is simple.
Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset, but using it in DeFi n
Coinbase Adds SUI Staking As Exchange Expands Native Reward Options
Coinbase has added native staking support for Sui, giving eligible users a way to earn SUI rewards directly through the exchange without managing validators themselves.
According to Coinbase’s staking support materials, SUI staking offers dynamic estimated rewards in the range of 1.4% to 3.3% APY, with eligibility restrictions that exclude New York.

Stablecoin Supply Nears $310 Billion as XDC Integrates Stripe-Owned Bridge
309.7 billion dollars of stablecoins were in circulation this July, and Visa’s on‑chain analytics showed a 58 % jump in adjusted transaction volume over the past year.
Stripe’s Bridge, now part of XDC Network, lets developers tap fiat conversion, virtual accounts and multi‑currency custody with two‑second finality and fees under one‑hundredth of a cent.
XDC is positioning that speed for AI agents that need to settle micro‑payments instantly—think software buying data or paying for a service without waiting for traditional banking windows.
The Bridge link also bridges SWIFT, SEPA and FedNow to blockchain, promising product roll‑outs in weeks instead of years.

Adam Back called the push for BIP-110 "idiocracy." This proposal aims to restrict non-financial data on the Bitcoin network, specifically targeting things like Ordinals. Back believes that if there isn't broad miner support for it by early August 2026, the proposal will simply expire without any real threat to the main chain.
The company Start9 framed the activation as low-risk, suggesting it would only cost miners a tiny fraction of their revenue. They warned that *not* activating it could lead to a chain split and problems for the Lightning Network. But Back rejected this, saying that valid technical objections are what matter, not attempts at sabotage. This debate echoes an older one about what Bitcoin's blockchain should be used for.
Miner support for BIP-110 is currently very low, with most major mining pools not participating. Exchanges and node operators are watching closely, worried about a potential chain split if activation becomes contentious. It sounds like we'll know more about whether this will be a real issue in the coming weeks.

Has Bitcoin Already Bottomed? Grayscale Says Macro Signals Matter More
The debate over when Bitcoin’s bear market will end is largely split between two views. One camp still holds on to the traditional four-year cycle, while the other believes that the bottom may already be in.
Grayscale, for one, favors the latter.
The supporters of the four-year cycle theory see Bitcoin halving events as the main driver of price movements and expect the current downturn to follow the same pattern as previous bear markets.
