Major cryptocurrencies, including BTC, experienced a general decline. BTC dropped from 109,000 USDT to 107,000 USDT. ETH fell by over 2% in the past 24 hours but did not break below the strong support level of 2,500 USDT. The altcoin market saw slight declines, with XRP down 1.20% and SOL down 3.04%. - Top Tokens: SOLO, GRASS, and XDC showed impressive performance amidst the overall market downturn: SOLO surged 26.43% in the last 24 hours, possibly driven by the increasing interest in stock asset tokenization, which may have boosted its trading volume and token price. GRASS rose 6.15% in the past 24 hours, potentially benefiting from the recent launch of its Android application, which significantly increased project visibility. XDC gained 4.66% in the last 24 hours, with Credefi's RWA lending platform and CRYMBO's compliance tools launching on XDC at the end of June, offering on-chain solutions for banks and fintech companies to tokenize debt, verify users, and implement cross-border regulations. - Alpha Insight: According to the latest data shared by Circle executive Patrick Hansen, the EU has issued MiCA licenses to 53 institutions, allowing them to operate across the 30 countries of the European Economic Area with "passporting" rights, enabling service provision without additional applications.
