14-Year Dormant Huge BTC Address Activated: Industry Regulation and Innovation Advance Together
Industry Trends
Regulation and Macroeconomic Environment
A capital market committee of a certain country has implemented access restrictions on a well-known DEX on the grounds of providing cryptocurrency services without authorization. This marks the first time the country has taken punitive measures against a decentralized exchange. Analysts point out that this move sets a precedent for regulators to crack down on DEXs, which may affect other similar platforms. Previously, the country mainly imposed restrictions on centralized exchanges that had not applied for local licenses.
The Russian state-owned giant announced the launch of the stablecoin RUBx, which is pegged 1:1 to the ruble, on a certain public blockchain, along with the payment platform RT-Pay. The group will act as the sole issuer and operator of RUBx and will maintain the pegged value through legally defined "actual ruble debt." The RT-Pay system will directly connect to the Russian banking settlement network, supporting real-time transfers for businesses and individuals, as well as smart contract fund locking.
The Central Bank of Bahrain has launched a licensing and regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, aimed at ensuring the safe integration of stablecoins into the financial system. The new regulations allow licensed entities to issue single-currency stablecoins backed by the Bahraini Dinar, US Dollar, or other approved fiat currencies. This initiative aims to reduce the risks associated with unregulated stablecoins, enhance investor confidence, and promote sustainable growth in the industry.
The President of the United States has signed a controversial tax and spending bill. The main contents of the bill include tax cuts, reductions in spending for Medicare and nutritional assistance programs, and increases in military and border security spending. Analysts believe that this bill will increase the U.S. budget deficit by about $3.3 trillion over the next decade, while tens of millions of Americans will lose Medicaid and food assistance.
Project Updates
The Ethereum Foundation has announced that it will provide three years of operational funding to the Argot Collective to support its continued work on Solidity and other key open-source infrastructure for Ethereum.
A well-known wallet will be launching a new project token soon. Eligible users must use points to participate in the subscription. An additional 30 million tokens will be used for future activities.
The tokenization platform Ondo Finance has announced the acquisition of the SEC-regulated broker Oasis Pro. After the transaction is completed, it will obtain qualifications as a U.S. securities broker, alternative trading system (ATS), and transfer agent. This acquisition aims to pave the way for the launch of tokenized stocks, with services expected to be opened to non-U.S. investors in the coming months.
A certain family's cryptocurrency project has officially proposed a token transferability proposal to seek community feedback. If the proposal is approved, it will be implemented to achieve transferability, initiate distribution to qualified early supporters, begin community governance through a second vote on the remaining unlocks, and continue ecosystem expansion and partner integration.
Brazil's central bank service provider recently suffered a cyberattack, resulting in a loss of approximately $140 million. The attackers converted fiat currency into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT using over-the-counter trading and exchanges in Latin America. It is estimated that at least $30 million to $40 million was converted into cryptocurrency.
A certain trading platform has announced that trading of a new token will soon begin. Users holding a certain amount of platform points can claim an airdrop of 600 new tokens. Claiming will consume 15 platform points. Users must confirm their claim within 24 hours, otherwise it will be considered as forfeiting.
Market Viewpoint
The head of research for the derivatives trading platform stated that the implied volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum decreased in June, prompting traders to position themselves this month in anticipation of a significant market breakthrough. The platform believes that Bitcoin and Ethereum may be bullish this month and in the third quarter, but has a more optimistic outlook on Ethereum's volatility potential.
A supervisor from a certain exchange believes that the recent large transfers of BTC addresses may be the result of hacking or private key theft. He pointed out that the relevant addresses first initiated test transactions through the BCH network and withdrew all BCH, after which the BTC wallet began to transfer assets. This could be a low-profile test of the private key. If true, it would be the largest theft in human history.
Research institutions analyze that the potential selling pressure from early Bitcoin holders is one of the key reasons the market has struggled to rise recently. The so-called "super whales" have begun to gradually sell their held Bitcoin, shifting towards ETFs and corporate bonds. A covert tug-of-war is unfolding between long-term holders and institutional investors.
Analysts believe that the golden period for Bitcoin treasury strategies may have come to an end. Newly established Bitcoin treasury companies are facing difficult circumstances due to investors favoring early adopters. The key lies in the sustainability of the company's products and strategies in the long-term market.
Important Data
In the first half of 2025, the number of addresses holding over $1 million worth of Bitcoin significantly increased. From the beginning of the year to the end of June, the total number of such wallets rose by 26,758, reaching 182,327. This is one of the strongest accumulation periods since the bull market of 2021.
In the first half of 2025, the total financing amount for cryptocurrency projects reached 10.3 billion USD, exceeding the total scale for the entire year of 2024. Three landmark projects accounted for 22% of the total financing amount. Venture capital institutions predict that the annual industry financing amount may exceed 25 billion USD.
A dormant address that had been inactive for 14.2 years was recently activated, holding 10,009 bitcoins, worth approximately $1.08 billion. This was the 8th long-dormant address activated that day.
Data shows that over 30.4% of Bitcoin has not been transferred for more than 5 years. Meanwhile, a large holder consecutively deposited 1,550 BTC (approximately $167 million) into a trading platform within 13 hours.
