U.S. regulators failed to finalize the rules needed to implement the federal stablecoin framework within the one-year deadline set by the GENIUS Act. According to ChainCatcher, the law was signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025, and required the OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, NCUA, the U.S. Treasury, and state stablecoin regulators to complete related rulemaking by July 18, 2026. As of the afternoon of July 18 local time, key proposals from the OCC, FDIC, NCUA, and the Treasury remained at the proposal stage, while some rules involving the Federal Reserve and anti-money-laundering oversight were still open for public comment. The report said the law does not provide for an automatic extension if the deadline is missed, nor does it suspend statutory requirements or delay the broader framework from taking effect. The OCC’s implementation proposal covers reserve assets, capital, liquidity, custody, risk controls, and reporting requirements. The FDIC proposal addresses reserves, redemptions, custody, and deposit insurance treatment for stablecoin reserves. The NCUA introduced licensing and operational risk proposals in February and May, but the comment period for the latter ended only one day before the deadline, making it impossible to complete formal adoption in time. The report said some key rules needed for the framework to function may therefore only be finalized after the deadline.

England claimed their best World Cup finish since 1966, surviving a ferocious France fightback to win a chaotic 6-4 third-place thriller that set a record for the highest-scoring bronze medal match in tournament history. England 6–4 France Declan Rice set the tone inside three minutes, charging forward to lash home the opener before turning provider for Ezri Konsa's headed finish from a corner in the 18th minute. Bukayo Saka then struck twice before the break — benefiting from incisive through balls that repeatedly split the French defence — as England raced to a 4-0 halftime lead that seemed insurmountable. Didier Deschamps, in his final match as France coach after 14 years at the helm, responded by sending on Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Digne to stiffen a second-string backline that had been repeatedly exposed. The substitutions transformed the contest. Kylian Mbappé, desperate to make his mark after a frustrated first half, netted within three minutes of the restart and added a second in the 66th minute from Michael Olise assists, taking his tournament tally to 10 goals and surpassing Lionel Messi as the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 22 career goals. Bradley Barcola had ghosted through a tiring England defence to slot home France's second in the 54th minute, making it 4-3 and setting up a nerve-shredding finale. Saka calmed English nerves with an 87th-minute penalty to complete his hat-trick, but Ousmane Dembélé struck in the 96th minute to pull France back within one. Substitute Jude Bellingham finally sealed it deep in stoppage time with his seventh goal of the tournament — the most by an England player at a single World Cup — as England secured third place for the first time after playoff defeats in 1990 and 2018.

According to Yonhap, South Korea's GDP per capita is projected to rise 7.6% from a year earlier in 2026 to about $39,000, marking the biggest annual increase in five years as exports led by memory chips remain robust. The estimate puts GDP per capita at $39,164 this year, up $2,750 from the previous year, based on financial authorities' data and the government's revised nominal GDP growth forecast of 12.3% for this year. The calculation uses nominal GDP of 2,676.7 trillion won ($1,796 billion) in 2025, which was projected to reach 3,005.9 trillion won in 2026, and divides that by a population of 51.6 million. The forecast also assumes an average won-dollar exchange rate of 1,487.19 won per dollar this year. Analysts said South Korea's GDP per capita could top $40,000 for the first time if the won strengthens and the average exchange rate moves to 1,456.1 won per dollar. South Korea's GDP per capita was $35,359 in 2018, dropped to $33,652 in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and then rose to $36,327 in 2024 and $36,414 in 2025. Last week, the government set policy goals including a 3% potential growth rate, top-four exporter status and raising gross national income per capita to $50,000. Senior finance ministry official Kang Gi-lyong said those export and GNI goals are highly achievable by 2030 if current trends continue and policy efforts are strengthened.
