In crypto news today (July 28), Bitcoin fell nearly 3% overnight, slipping below $65,000 and appearing likely to retest $60,000 ahead of today’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Liquidations increased as a result, with more than $600 million in positions wiped out since yesterday; more than $530 million of that total came from long positions.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a second straight day of net inflows yesterday, a trend that has supported the market’s recent rally. More than $265 million of BTC was purchased through ETFs, including over $200 million through BlackRock’s IBIT after the fund sold nearly $10 billion over the previous 10 sessions. That shift matters because ETF flows remain one of the clearest gauges of institutional demand in the spot Bitcoin market, especially during macro-driven volatility like an FOMC week.

Nearly every major-cap token was in the red over the past 24 hours, although Pump.fun (PUMP) and Canton (CC) were among the few notable gainers, each up around 1%. Daily trading volume also declined over the same period, falling from $75 billion yesterday to $66 billion today.

The Fear & Greed Index reflected the pullback across markets, reading 29 out of 100, down from 30 yesterday. The gauge remained in “Fear” territory, just outside “Extreme Fear.”

NFL Calls for More Oversight of Prediction Markets

The National Football League (NFL) has urged Michael Selig, the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to strengthen oversight of sports prediction markets. The league said the CFTC’s proposed rules for event contracts do not sufficiently protect the integrity of competitions or the interests of users.

According to reports, the NFL outlined its concerns in a letter dated July 27. In that letter, the league said preserving the integrity of its games is its top priority while responding to the CFTC’s recently published draft rules.

The NFL acknowledged that the proposal contains several constructive measures, but said some provisions need to be significantly strengthened. The push reflects a broader regulatory debate over how event contracts should be supervised as prediction markets expand beyond niche trading venues and into higher-profile sports-related products.

The league has taken a firmer position on prediction markets than the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball, both of which have partnered with platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket. In March, the NFL also sent letters to Kalshi and Polymarket asking them to limit the range of sports contracts available on their platforms.

“...the draft rules fall significantly short of protecting the integrity of sporting events and the fans who participate in these markets.” — Dustin Gouker (@DustinGouker), July 27, 2026

Securitize Registers with SEC as Investment Adviser

In other crypto news today, Securitize, a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization company, has registered as a registered investment adviser (RIA) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The new status will allow the firm to expand services for institutional investors and asset managers.

According to The Block, the registration was granted to Securitize Capital LLC, a subsidiary of the company. Securitize said the approval strengthens its position in the regulated financial services market.

With this addition, Securitize’s US business now brings several regulated entities under one umbrella. Alongside its new RIA registration, the company operates an SEC-registered broker-dealer with an alternative trading system (ATS), a transfer agent, and a fund administration business.

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said institutional investors are seeking partners that can both implement tokenization and operate within the framework of regulated financial markets. He said the RIA status marks another milestone for the company.

Through Securitize Capital, the firm plans to help financial institutions develop and manage investment strategies built on onchain infrastructure.

Securitize remains one of the largest players in the RWA tokenization market. The platform works with major asset managers and has helped launch multiple investment products, making the new SEC registration a notable addition to its existing regulatory setup rather than a standalone shift in strategy.
