Decentralized trading aggregator Odos announced that it will shut down all services on July 30 following the suspension of its operating company’s services.

The Odos app will switch to read-only mode starting July 27, and all development, support, and maintenance services will end after July 30. Previously, new account registration, new wallet creation, and new limit orders were disabled starting July 23.

Users who created wallets through social accounts or email login must move their assets to another wallet or export their private keys before July 30.

Odos explained that the ODOS token exists independently of the operating company, and that the company neither custodys the token nor makes markets for it. It said the service shutdown will not affect the token’s on-chain mechanisms.

The Odos DAO is a separate organization from the operating company and plans to announce its future plans separately.

Consumer prosecutors in São Paulo, Brazil, have filed a lawsuit against World operator Tools for Humanity and hosting provider Amazon AWS.

According to Odaily, prosecutors allege that World committed abusive practices while collecting consumers’ biometric data in São Paulo. Prosecutors believe that more than 400,000 people participated in World’s promotional activities and have requested the preservation of related data and metadata.

The lawsuit seeks to suspend payments or benefits related to biometric data collection until the evaluation is complete, and requests compensation of 240 million reais, about $47 million, for consumer damages.

Prosecutors said World continued to provide cryptocurrency rewards through in-app transactions even after a suspension order from the national data protection authority in February 2025. They also argued that World did not sufficiently inform consumers of the risks of data processing and storage through AWS servers or of the business’s economic purpose.

According to Wu Blockchain, Robinhood’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, ‘Robinhood Chain,’ launched in July 2026, recorded about $3.1 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume over seven days.

A Bernstein report estimated that the stablecoin market cap on Robinhood Chain is about $300 million, while tokenized stocks amount to about $13 million. It said much of the early activity came from memecoin trading, and the use of tokenized real-world assets (RWA), such as stock tokens, remains at an early stage.

Robinhood Chain is built on Arbitrum technology and supports the ETH gas model and EVM compatibility. The network targets stock tokens, ETFs, DeFi, perpetual futures, and AI agent applications.

The report noted that stock tokens provide economic exposure to share prices but do not represent direct ownership or shareholder rights. It also cited regulation, liquidity, infrastructure centralization, bridge risks, smart contract risks, and self-custody risks as key variables.

CryptoQuant said Ethereum is showing some signs of improvement relative to Bitcoin. However, it believes it is too early to confirm a bottom, as only two of its five key bottom indicators have reached historical reversal zones.

According to PANews, Cointelegraph cited CryptoQuant’s weekly report, which said Ethereum is trading about 17% below its realized price of around $2,300. CryptoQuant explained that in the past, periods when Ethereum traded below its realized price overlapped with market undervaluation and long-term bottoming zones.

The report said Ethereum’s MVRV ratio has come down from overheated levels, exchange inflows have decreased, and Ethereum ETF holdings are showing signs of recovery after several months of weakness. ETH/BTC spot trading volume has also fallen into a range historically associated with market bottoms.

Still, CryptoQuant added that while the remaining bottom indicators are improving, they have not yet reached the extreme levels seen at previous cycle lows, suggesting that Ethereum may still be in the process of forming a bottom.
