DeFi, TradFi Convergence Could Occur Sooner Than Expected 

Nelli Zaltsman, head of blockchain payments innovation at JPMorgan Kinexys, believes the divide between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). Zaltsman made the comments speaking alongside Chainlink Labs co-founder Sergey Nazarov at the RWA Summit Cannes 2025. She added that JPMorgan is pushing to merge institutional-grade payments infrastructure with emerging on-chain assets, indicating a tipping point for blockchain adoption. 

“Our goal has always been to find the best way to work with the public blockchain, regulatory environment permitting.”

JPMorgan has recently partnered with Chainlink to pilot a synchronized settlement technology, enabling the bank’s blockchain-based deposits to orchestrate transactions across multiple blockchains. Nazarov called the milestone an example of how banks can connect traditional capital with digital asset markets. 

Speaking about TradFi and DeFi, Zaltsman stated that artificial boundaries separating traditional and decentralized finance could disappear faster than expected thanks to improved infrastructure and cooperation. She pointed out that JPMorgan built its private blockchain a decade ago due to the lack of suitable options, adding that the situation was different today. 

“Thankfully, that’s not the case today. It took many years for there to be tools that are kind of underpriced and in support. I hope that this convergence happens sooner rather than later… we start looking at tech for what it is and how we can help different users and not… having these artificial boundaries.”

Secret Service Seizes Nearly $400M In Crypto 

The US Secret Service has seized over $400 million in digital assets over the past decade, creating one of the largest crypto cold wallets. According to Jamie Lam, an investigative analyst, the agency’s Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC) tracked funds using open-source tools, blockchain analysis, and lots of patience. The Secret Service’s crypto stash, most of which is stored in a single cold wallet, is the result of several investigations into elaborate scams. Scammers have been targeting users by luring them into seemingly legitimate crypto investment platforms. Victims see initial profits before scammers disappear with all their deposits. Lam stated, 

“That’s how they do it. They’ll send you a photo of a really good-looking guy or girl. But it’s probably some old guy in Russia.”

$6.8 Billion Bitcoin Whale Not Selling 

Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham has said that the $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) moved last week does not seem to be heading for a sell-off. Arkham believes that the transfers may be the owner upgrading from the original legacy wallet to a Native SegWit address, which offers improved security and lower fees. 

“There are no indications that this whale is selling Bitcoin. Yesterday’s $8 billion transfers were possibly related to address upgrades, moving from 1-addresses to bc1q-addresses.”

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis 

Bitcoin (BTC) price action picked up late on Sunday, fueled by optimism around the upcoming “crypto week” in Washington. However, broader market sentiment remains cautious thanks to growing uncertainty about President Trump’s shifting stance on tariffs. The flagship cryptocurrency dropped to a low of $107,340 on Friday before recovering over the weekend, with the price rising 0.19% on Saturday and nearly 1% on Sunday to reclaim $109,000 and move to $109,229. However, BTC finds itself back in the red during the ongoing session, marginally down, trading around $108,834. 

BTC and the broader crypto market enter a crucial week with two major catalysts set to dictate price action. The most important catalyst for BTC and the broader market will be the upcoming July 9 tariff deadline. The US has reached agreements with several trading partners. However, President Trump could revert to the high tariffs announced back in April. The return of retaliatory tariffs will likely be a bearish development for BTC and the broader markets. BTC had plunged to a low of $74,000 after Trump’s Liberation Day speech before bouncing back when he announced the 90-day pause. 

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes are also scheduled for release on Wednesday and could act as another decisive catalyst for BTC. The minutes are expected to provide more information about the previous meeting, where the Fed left interest rates unchanged between 4.25% and 4.50%. The minutes will also shed light on when the Fed could cut interest rates. A rate cut will be bullish for BTC and the broader crypto market. However, the odds of a rate cut have reduced due to strong nonfarm payrolls data. 

Meanwhile,. Bitcoin dominance of the overall crypto market continued to grow, crossing 65% to reach its highest levels since early 2021.
