Jinse Finance reported that according to the latest report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, Russia has become the European country with the highest cryptocurrency adoption rate. From July 2024 to June 2025, Russia received $376.3 billions in cryptocurrency transactions, a year-on-year increase of 48%, significantly ahead of the UK's $273.2 billions. The report points out that the growth of Russia's cryptocurrency market is mainly driven by two factors: a year-on-year surge of 86% in large institutional transfers, and an eightfold increase in DeFi activity in early 2025. Notably, the ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5 issued in Kyrgyzstan has become the world's largest non-USD stablecoin, despite facing multiple sanction allegations. Analysts believe that the rapid expansion of DeFi and the increase in large transfers in Russia indicate that the country is increasingly adopting cryptocurrencies as a financial services tool.

ChainCatcher reported that Arthur Hayes, co-founder of an exchange, posted on X stating that bitcoin is currently "on sale," and warned that if the turmoil among US regional banks escalates into a systemic crisis, the government may once again implement financial bailout measures similar to those in 2023. He said he is ready to "buy the dip" after such bailouts and encouraged investors to consider opportunities in the crypto market when they have idle funds.
