Yuri Chikanchin, head of the Russian financial regulatory agency, told Putin: "As for cross-border financial flows... our focus has shifted, and now it is the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the broader Asian region. We are actively using alternative settlement methods, including gold and cryptocurrencies. Now, net settlement and clearing business has also emerged, and we are studying it."

Phyrex Ni (@Phyrex_ni): "The main reason for the slight rebound in the market today is that Trump has once again executed TACO. Previously, he said that he would absolutely not extend the signing of tariffs, but this time it was still postponed from July 9 to August 1. From the current situation, it seems that at least one major trading country that is difficult to tackle has not confirmed, or it is related to the Federal Reserve. Regarding Bitcoin, I won't say much more. Data-wise, everything is still normal, and there are no signs of systemic risk. As mentioned yesterday, in the big picture, U.S. stocks and $BTC are still highly correlated. As long as the U.S. stock market does not have major issues, the stability of BTC will also be relatively high."
