The US Congress announces “Cryptocurrency Week” – acceleration of market regulation
In mid -July 2025, the United States Congress plans to organize an event called “Cryptocurrency Week”, which aims to accelerate work on regulations on the cryptocurrency market. Within a few days, parliamentarians are to debate on legislative packages including Stablecoin, DEFI sector and cryptocurrency taxation. One of the proposals being considered is the introduction of tax exemptions for small cryptographic transactions – which could significantly facilitate the daily use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment.
Decisions made in the USA may affect the global market, not only because of the economic strength of this country, but also on the dominant role of American companies and investors in the blockchain industry. Investors react with moderate optimism – the Bitcoin course lasts at ~ USD 108,000, which indicates waiting for specific legislative results. In Poland, this event also echoed – the local cryptocurrency community has been calling for regulating issues such as PCC (tax on civil law transactions) for years. If the “Cryptocurrency Week” ends with specific laws, this can set standards that will also be adapted by European and Polish regulators.
Bitcoin ETFs in Europe-new funds bring cryptocurrencies to the mainstream
On the largest European stock exchanges РLondon LSE and German Deutsche B̦rse Рnew Bitcoin Funds have been introduced. This is a response to the growing interest of investors with exposure to cryptocurrencies without the need for them directly to buy or storage. ETFs approved by European regulators are a convenient and safe tool that particularly attracts financial institutions and more conservative investors, previously reluctant to directly enter the world of blockchain.
The enthusiasm that has previously been driven by American ETFs based on BTC is now transferred to the European market-which may mean a further increase in Bitcoin adoption and a larger influx of capital from traditional financial markets. Coingecko reports that capital inflows to ETFs in the US have significantly affected the price of BTC, and a similar effect may also appear in Europe. For Polish investors, it is also a significant change-the availability of regulated ETFs can simplify the entry into the cryptocurrency market without the need for cryptocurrency exchanges. In the environment of retail investors, growing interest in this type of products is observed, which may initiate a new wave of Bitcoin adoption as investment assets also in Poland.
Hacker attack on the Defi Stock Exchange – questions about the safety of decentralized protocols
On Blockchain Ethereum there was a serious hacker attack on one of the popular decentralized exchanges (DEX), as a result of which assets worth around $ 45 million were stolen. Although the name of the platform has not been officially disclosed, the cryptocurrency community on X.com speculates that it can be about a stock exchange associated with Uniswap or Curve Finance. Hackers used the gap in the Smart Contract – which again undermined trust in security in the DEFE sector.
This event not only caused confusion on the market, but also revived the discussion about the need to implement more severe safety standards, both technical (code audits) and regulatory. Although DEFI attracts billions of dollars of investments a year, this type of incidents can discourage new users and inhibit further technology development. On a global scale, attacks on DEFI protocols are a growing problem – in 2024, losses in this respect amounted to over USD 1.7 billion. For Polish investors using DEXs, this is a clear signal to choose only audited platforms and increase the awareness of the risk associated with investing in unregulated protocols. This incident reminds that technology development must go hand in hand with users’ responsibility and education.
