According to the Korea Herald, the Korea Exchange conducted an internal review on July 29 regarding the technical feasibility and system requirements for a temporary ban on short selling and narrowing the price limit (currently at 30%) to address the recent severe fluctuations in the stock market. Sources familiar with the matter stated that "only technical feasibility was confirmed," and it was not a prerequisite for implementation, but rather a screening process during the review of available emergency measures.Recently, the South Korean stock market has continued to plummet, causing increasing damage to individual investors. During a meeting of the National Assembly's Administrative Committee, several lawmakers urged authorities to consider a temporary ban on short selling and to restart the Securities Market Stabilization Fund. A national petition to suspend short selling garnered over 10,000 signatures within two days of being made public. However, the ban on short selling conflicts with South Korea's goal of being included in the MSCI developed market index; a previous 17-month short selling ban from November 2023 to March 2025 had led to MSCI downgrading South Korea's market accessibility rating. The exchange's officials stated that they have not received any related requests from the government and have not formally discussed a short selling ban.

According to DefiLlama data, the Ethereum chain random NFT acquisition protocol Fake World Assets, developed by the two-person team Token Works, surpassed the daily revenue of Collector Crypt on Solana within four days of its relaunch on July 20.On July 25, the peak daily revenue reached $447,604, with total fees of $1.6 million, and approximately 90,000 transactions including about 35,000 draws, with a trading volume of around 2,000 ETH. After that, activity declined, with revenue in the past 24 hours dropping to $167,869, ranking second in daily revenue among Ethereum protocols, only behind Sky ($464,303), and ahead of Aave ($105,282) and Uniswap ($76,028).In this protocol, depositors list NFTs along with their pledged ETH collateral (similar to Uniswap V2 trading pairs), where the collateral determines the weight of each NFT and provides depositors with irrevocable continuous bids to reacquire the NFT. Anyone can pay the acquisition price generated by the liquidity pool to obtain a randomly selected NFT.The pool has accumulated over 1,500 NFTs including CryptoPunks, with randomness provided by Chainlink VRF.

According to the Dune panel data maintained by the OKX Web3 wallet team, the average daily trading volume of tokenized stocks on the Robinhood Chain reached $29.7 million in the past week, surpassing the combined total of xStocks ($11.1 million) and Backpack Sunrise ($13.4 million) on Solana. The main reason for this growth is that launch platforms like Bankr and long.xyz have allowed users to issue meme coins paired with tokenized stocks for liquidity since mid-July, covering over 90 stock codes. The trading of meme coins generates trading volume for stock tokens while locking the stock tokens in liquidity pools.The tokenized stock with the highest on-chain trading volume is Nvidia (daily trading volume of $13.9 million), followed by SpaceX ($6.2 million) and Apple ($4.5 million). The number of daily active tokenized stock traders peaked at over 20,000 during the week of July 20, the highest among all stock token platforms.However, Binance's bStocks on the BNB Chain has an average daily trading volume of $676.8 million, more than 20 times that of Robinhood. Tokenized stocks still account for only a small portion of the total DEX trading volume on the Robinhood Chain, with most on-chain activity still dominated by meme coins like CASHCAT.

The market enthusiasm for CATE stems from a new rescue kitten video released by DOGE owner @kabosumama.Subsequently, community user @HimothyGoggins retweeted and speculated that the cat was named "Hiromi," but this claim has not been confirmed by Kabosu's owner. Afterward, @thedevrrrrrrr suggested "running CATE like DOGE," and the token was quickly created on Pump.fun, attracting community attention.It is important to note that there is currently no evidence that this cat is named Hiromi, nor has it been officially confirmed to be named CATE. The name CATE comes from the previous "Cate" cat meme, which has been repurposed by the community for the dissemination of this event. CATE is not an official token of Kabosu's owner, nor is it named after the actual name of the cat, but rather a community meme coin formed by combining real events with existing internet memes. According to market news, meme coin prices are highly volatile, so please be aware of market risks.
