The legislation cleared a key committee on June 10, 2026 after being submitted by the cabinet in April, and is now headed to the House of Councillors.

Santiment said in a post on X that centralized-exchange trading volume across major crypto assets has slid to its lowest level since mid-2024, after peaking around mid-2025.

Separately, Santiment highlighted continued network adoption, including Ethereum's Total Amount of Holders at 195 million, as Bitcoin traded near $62,700, up 1.8% over the last 24 hours.
