Markets are quiet ahead of the July inflation print, with bitcoin little changed, oil near $90 and Harmony nursing a fresh exploit.

  • Harmony confirmed a suspected exploit after an attacker minted roughly 4 billion ONE tokens via empty blocks, equal to about 26% of total supply, sending the token to a record low.
  • The July U.S. CPI print is due at 12:30 UTC and is the main macro event of the day. Brent crude is near $90 a barrel after fresh Houthi attacks on shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and a US strike on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman overnight, complicating the inflation picture.
  • Bitcoin is up 0.23% since midnight UTC at around $63,979, with Fear and Greed at 38 and total market cap holding at $2.19 trillion.
