Strategy has launched a Bitcoin-native credit model to assess credit risk, credit spreads, and other metrics for debt instruments (such as convertible bonds) and preferred shares (including STRC) issued by Strategy Treasury. The model uses custom metrics—BTC Rating (Bitcoin coverage multiple), BTC Risk (default probability), and BTC Credit (spread in basis points)—to analyze the debt and preferred shares, backed by the firm’s $52 billion Bitcoin reserves. All metrics are collateralized/risk-derived from Strategy’s held Bitcoin reserves, with Bitcoin price, volatility, and ARR as core variables. Analysts note that this initiative shifts Bitcoin from a store of value to a capital efficiency tool, driving institutions to treat BTC as a financeable asset and accelerating the development of the digital credit market.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) plans to block Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)’s application to quickly launch 24/7 oil contracts, amid concerns that energy markets are not ready for an influx of large volumes of all-day derivatives contracts. CME said in June it planned to offer 24/7 trading for a futures contract tied to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, denominated in 10-barrel lots, citing investor demand to manage positions “whenever news breaks.” On Wednesday, CME filed a self-certification application for the new product, which means the CFTC has only one day to intervene before the contract can be listed for trading. According to people familiar with the matter, the CFTC plans to block CME’s self-certification. CFTC Chair Michael Selesinger has met with executives from energy firms including Shell, Vitol, BP and ExxonMobil in recent weeks. Another application CME submitted for the same product, which requires a 45-day review period, is still under regulatory consideration.

According to official announcements, Mantle today announced that its native cross-chain infrastructure Mantle Super Portal—developed in partnership with Bybit—has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Powered by CCIP, Mantle Super Portal will feature enhanced cross-chain security, decentralized node infrastructure security guarantees, advanced risk management, and institutional-grade security standards, delivering a higher level of protection for cross-chain transfers of MNT tokens valued at over $2.5 billion. Additionally, as an increasing number of regulated assets, such as tokenized equities, move on-chain, the underlying infrastructure supporting them must meet traditional financial standards. This migration will further solidify Mantle’s position as a "distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity" and underscores Mantle and Bybit’s ongoing commitment to growing MNT through further integrations, opportunities, and use cases. According to the announcement, Mantle Super Portal will be temporarily offline during the migration period, scheduled from July 9 to 15, 2026 (with a possible slight extension of the timeline). Users do not need to take any action, and transfers will automatically resume once the migration is complete.
