Major Crypto Events of July

Several notable technical updates to blockchain projects are planned for the second month of summer, which are worth knowing, RBC Crypto reports.

July 2

Conflux Network to Hard Fork with Update

On July 2, the CIP-156 update will come into effect on the Conflux blockchain. It will change the rules for validators working on the Proof-of-Stake mechanism: instead of a complete loss of collateral for violation, a token freeze for six months will be applied. The update is activated automatically at block #2,745,000, after which network participants will need to switch to node version 3.0.

The change reduces risks for those who violate the rules by mistake and, according to the developers, maintains a balance between security and trust in the network. This is expected to increase interest in the project from DeFi services and infrastructure solutions, especially given the improved compatibility with the EVM and updated staking logic.

Conflux is a high-performance blockchain network that combines Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake algorithms. It is capable of processing up to 3,000 transactions per second with confirmation in less than a minute. The CFX token is used to pay fees, staking, rent storage, and participate in network governance.

July 6

Jupiter to Launch Token Creation Platform

On July 6, 2025, Jupiter Studio will launch – a new service for creating and issuing tokens from the developers of the Jupiter liquidity aggregator on the Solana blockchain.

The platform will allow users to launch their own tokens without having to write code. It supports customization of issuance parameters, liquidity, vesting, and fees. Creators will be able to receive up to 50% of the fees that the token will generate within the Jupiter ecosystem.

Jupiter Studio is positioned as an advanced alternative to the Pump.fun service and includes additional features: creating project pages with images and comments, community support and launching Web3 initiatives.

During testing, the Vibe token was launched, which reached a capitalization of $9 million in a few days.

The project expands the Jupiter ecosystem and strengthens the position of the JUP token in the Solana infrastructure.

July 7

Flux to Launch FusionX Trading Platform

FusionX, a trading platform from the Flux project, will launch on July 7, 2025. The service will combine centralized and decentralized trading functions, offering a single interface with access to liquidity from more than ten crypto exchanges.

FusionX is designed for users of all skill levels. The platform will offer real-time analytics, support for small- and mid-cap tokens, the ability to quickly list new assets, and reduced fees when using a FluxPro subscription.

The Flux project develops a decentralized cloud infrastructure for Web3. It offers an alternative to centralized solutions such as AWS and Google Cloud. Services are run through its own Linux-based FluxOS operating system. The FLUX token is used for paying for resources, subscriptions, staking, and participating in network governance.

July 8

Starknet to Upgrade Network to Reduce Fees and Speed Up Transactions

Two major upgrades to the Starknet blockchain are scheduled for July 8 and July 28, 2025, aimed at increasing the speed and stability of the network.

The first release will be v0.13.6, which has already been launched on the test network and is scheduled to go live on July 8. It will prepare the platform for the implementation of S-Two, a new STARK proof generation mechanism from StarkWare. Thanks to it, the proof generation time will be reduced from 24 to less than 3 minutes, and the fees will be reduced by at least half.

The next update, v0.14.4, is expected on July 28. It will introduce a fee calculation model similar to Ethereum's EIP-1559 and improve network scalability.

Both upgrades will be a major step forward for Starknet, providing faster, cheaper, and more stable transactions.

July 30

Ethereum Turns 10

July 30, 2025 marks ten years since the launch of the Ethereum mainnet. On this day, the first block was created, which marked the beginning of the era of smart contracts and decentralized applications. Over the past decade, the project has gone from an experimental idea to a global infrastructure, becoming the basis for the development of DeFi, NFT, and the transition to the Proof of Stake consensus algorithm.

To mark the anniversary, the community has launched a time capsule, where users can send messages and memes until July 30. This initiative symbolizes the desire to preserve the history of the network. Local meetups will also be held around the world, supported by the Ethereum Foundation.

July

Thailand Launches Digital Bonds for Retail Investors

In July 2025, Thailand will begin issuing G Token, a new digital instrument based on tokenized government bonds. It is developed by the Ministry of Finance and regulated by the country's Securities Commission (SEC). It is the first such asset in the country to be available through an official ICO portal.

The goal of the project is to provide citizens with a simple and safe way to invest in government debt. Even retail investors with small amounts will be able to purchase tokens. Income will be accrued similarly to classic bonds: in the form of coupon payments and return of invested funds upon maturity.

Tokens are not intended for payments and transfers between individuals. Such operations will be limited at the smart contract level. Only trading on official platforms under the control of the regulator is allowed.

The first issue will be about 5 billion baht. The tokens will be allowed to circulate only through licensed crypto brokers and exchanges. The authorities view G Token as a tool for digitalization of the financial system, focused on savings rather than payments.
