She added that recent bankruptcies in the auto industry have also exposed unexpected losses and exposures across a wide range of financial entities, including banks, hedge funds, and specialized financial firms. Her remarks echoed concerns raised earlier this week by Federal Reserve Governor Barr, who described private lending as a potential area of risk. Cook also stated on Thursday that she sees the expanding footprint and asset valuation levels of hedge funds in the U.S. Treasury market as a potential vulnerability. Cook stated that despite high asset values, the growth and complexity of the private lending market, and the potential vulnerability of hedge fund activity that could cause turmoil in the Treasury market, the financial system remains resilient. She said, "These emerging vulnerabilities are also occurring against the backdrop of very significant technological change, which could ultimately improve financial stability, but also involves a transition period and potential challenges that may require thoughtful and prudent handling."The Ukrainian presidential office: Zelensky is expected to speak with Trump in the coming days.

According to researcher CryptoCompare, trade in cryptocurrency derivatives on centralized exchanges increased to $3.12 trillion in July, up 13% month over month, as cryptocurrency values begin to rebound from the recent market crisis.


According to CryptoCompare, the derivatives market now accounts for 69% of all crypto transactions, up from 66% in June, and helped drive total crypto volumes on exchanges to $4.51 trillion in July.


On July 29, derivatives exchanges transacted up to $245 billion, which is 9.7% greater than the $223 billion top daily high for June.


Spot cryptocurrency trade, however, dipped to $1.39 trillion in July, the lowest level since December 2020 and a monthly fall of 1.3%, according to CryptoCompare.


In May and June, the price of cryptocurrencies fell precipitously as investors fled riskier investments due to concerns about soaring inflation and Federal Reserve interest rate rises. Several cryptocurrency organizations have slashed staff after a significant pair of tokens collapsed, and other cryptocurrency lenders have frozen client withdrawals.


With bitcoin rising 17% in July, prices have somewhat recovered. It is still a long way from its record high of $69,000 in November, which it reached at roughly $24,300.


Since there is no U.S. Federal Reserve meeting in August, CryptoCompare said, "the jump in futures trading volume signals an increase in speculative activity as traders feel there is opportunity for more upside in current rally."


According to CryptoCompare, traders are also making predictions on the impending Ethereum merge, which is a network update anticipated for September.


Since its $880 low in June, ether has increased to over $1,900.


According to CryptoCompare, BinanceUSD, a stablecoin released by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, gained popularity in July as spot volumes for transactions between bitcoin and BinanceUSD for the first time surpassed those between bitcoin and dollars.


With a 54% market share, Binance continued to dominate the exchange landscape, while Atom Asset Exchange (AAX), which saw its volume increase by 26.5% in July, moved into second place.


Trading volumes more than half in the second quarter of 2022, according to a data released on Tuesday by American exchange Coinbase.
