Crypto Fear & Greed Index — July 2026: 49.8
9 days · NeutralJuly was a middle-of-the-road month for the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, averaging a neutral score of 49.8. Moods brightened slightly toward late July after banking groups expressed support for OCC stablecoin supervision standards, helping the index peak at 52 on July 26. However, tension rose as regulators commented on the GENIUS Act and news broke that organised crime groups were moving billions through crypto, alongside a new EU sanctions package targeting Russian crypto. Things took a sharp turn for the worse on July 31 when the index dropped 6 points to its monthly low of 46 following a supply chain attack on Adform that served a crypto stealer. Ultimately, the month ended on a anxious note as mixed market outlooks and conflict-of-interest concerns weighed on the market.
Scores in this month were computed by the first-generation engine (v1).
