The UK is described as softening parts of its approach, including lowering proposed stablecoin capital buffers, while still moving toward a licensing regime for exchanges, custody and stablecoin issuance. In the EU, the end of a transitional period tied to MiCA is set for July 1, and the regional regulator has called on unauthorized crypto asset service providers to wind down operations in an orderly way. The report also describes a compliance squeeze in Europe, with many firms seeking authorization but a smaller subset receiving clearance, leaving users potentially needing to migrate to other platforms. Australia is also referenced as bringing in a crypto \u201ctravel rule\u201d starting July 1, with exchanges adding transfer checks.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cFed Decision in July?\u201d Market Snapshot: $26.54M Matched Volume With 79.5% No-Change vs 18.45% 25-bps Hike<\/h2>\n<p>In Polymarket\u2019s \u201cFed Decision in July?\u201d ladder market, \u201cNo change\u201d leads at 79.5% Yes versus 20.5% No, up from 71.5% previously.
