Reuters: Currency will not exit Europe and will seek a new MiCA license path

According to Gillian Lynch, the official in charge of François Europe and the United Kingdom, despite the setback in his plans to apply for EU MiCA licences in Greece, it will not leave the European market and will seek other avenues for authorization. “If not Greece, I am looking for alternative solutions.” It was revealed by informed sources that François had contacted regulatory bodies such as Ireland, Latvia and Greece, but had encountered resistance. Regulators are concerned about past money-laundering penalties, complex international corporate structures and a culture of perceived higher risk preferences. Lynch indicated that it had previously believed that the Greek regulatory body would approve its application and that it was not clear why it had been rejected. She stated that she had invested considerable resources to strengthen compliance and internal controls and currently had some 1,500 compliance staff。

2. CryptoRank: DeFi TVL dropped to about $70 billion, down 39 per cent during the year

CryptoRank writes that DeFi TVL has declined from approximately $115 billion in January to about $70 billion each month, a decline of 39 per cent during the year, mainly reflecting the overall reversal of the market after its peak in October 2025. DeFi has suffered 121 hacker attacks since 2026, with losses of approximately $942 million, 85 in the second quarter and approximately $775 million in the second quarter, making it one of the most active quarters of data-based attacks. In the top 10 TVL chains, only TRON and Hyperliquid recorded increases of about 5 per cent and 6.7 per cent, respectively, and TVL decreased by 43.0 per cent, 40.5 per cent and 55.3 per cent, respectively, during the years of Etheum, Solana and Arbitrum. CryptoRank states that hacker attacks are not the main reason for the current TVL downturn, but their high frequency may weaken user confidence and exacerbate the outflow of DeFi funds。

4. CryptoQuant: Strategy should suspend additional bitcoin and replenish cash reserves

CriptoQuant, the chain-based data analyst, recommended that Strategy suspend the increase in the holding of bitcoin and prioritize the rebuilding of cash reserves. Julio Moreno, Director of CriptoQuant Research, noted that, with Strategy continuing to issue a priority STRC share for the purchase of Bitcoin, its annualized dividends obligation had increased from about $300 million at the beginning of the year to about $1.2 billion, while cash reserves had declined 38 per cent over the same period, and the duration of STRC dividends coverage had decreased from over 7 years to about 14 months. According to Moreno, Strategy should suspend the purchase of currency until the capacity for cash reserves and dividends coverage is restored and establish a more systematic mechanism for the purchase of bitcoin. In addition, it is recommended that companies moderately sell a bitcoin hold in future cattle markets in order to achieve returns, reduce leverage and replenish cash reserves。
