| 2 | Summer Finance Exploited for ~$6M
DeFi protocol Summer Finance has been drained of roughly $6M on Ethereum, according to on-chain security firm PeckShield, which flagged the attack.
The team has issued no official statement so far, and the exact attack vector is not yet confirmed. Around $6M in assets were moved out of the protocol before the alert.

| 3 | Vitalik Lays Out the “Lean Ethereum” Roadmap
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has sketched the chain's third major era — “Lean Ethereum” — with upgrades expected to land over the next three to four years.
Highlights: recursive STARKs become a native verification component; quantum-vulnerable cryptography is swapped for post-quantum alternatives; a new “scalable state” type targets 100 TB by 2030 (cutting costs for some tokens 10x+); and RISC-V / leanISA VMs are explored for programmable privacy.
The near-term Glasterdam upgrade is also expected to significantly raise Ethereum's gas limit.

| 4 | Moonbeam Leaves Polkadot, Migrates GLMR to Base
Moonbeam Network — one of Polkadot's earliest and biggest parachains — is fully leaving the ecosystem after ~4 years and migrating its GLMR token to Base, Coinbase's Ethereum L2.
Holders have until July 31 to bridge GLMR 1:1 to a new ERC-20 on Base through a dedicated migration portal. Centralized exchanges are expected to swap custodied balances automatically.
The move ends a four-year run on Polkadot and repositions Moonbeam inside the Ethereum ecosystem as a decentralized network for AI-agent infrastructure and communications.

| 5 | OKX Ventures Acquires 20% of South Korea's Coinone
OKX Ventures has taken a ~20% stake in Coinone, one of South Korea's largest crypto exchanges, becoming a joint third-largest shareholder alongside Korea Investment & Securities — each now holds 19.6%.
The stake is part of a 160B KRW (~$106M) package of new and existing shares. Founder & CEO Cha Myung-hoon stays the top individual shareholder at 27.8% with full management control; Com2uS Holdings & affiliates hold 25%.
Beyond capital it's a technology deal: Coinone will integrate OKX's matching engine, custody system and wallet technology to sharpen trading infrastructure, compliance and institutional services. OKX CEO Star Xu noted Cha's white-hat security background fits OKX's engineering-first culture.

| 6 | $TRUMP: How a Million Buyers Funded 58 Wallets
18 months after launch, the scorecard on the presidential memecoin is brutal:
— ~1,000,000 investors underwater, down a combined $3.81B
— Only 58 wallets made millions — 764,000 are in the red
— Token is −97% from its $74 peak ($15B → $436M market cap)
— $10,000 bought at the top is worth ~$230 today
Meanwhile, 80% of supply sits with Trump-linked entities, and insiders pulled ~$635M in fees and royalties.
For every $1 insiders earned, retail lost $6. The house always wins. | 3 118 |

| 9 | Thea Network Raises $8M to Build AI Settlement Infrastructure
Thea, a predictive behavioral AI network, has raised $8 million in a round led by Maven 11 Capital, The Spartan Group, Manifold, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital, with participation from Galois Capital, DCF God, and icebergy.
The team says the funding will help develop Thea Network, a federated trust-minimized settlement layer built to unify access and coordination across intelligent applications. The project is focused on turning AI services into a more programmable and scalable settlement system.
Thea Network connects purpose-built models with humans and AI agents through a partitioned off-chain compute network anchored to Solana with ZK-proofs. It is designed to support parallel request processing and proof generation, aiming to combine blockchain-level integrity with cloud-like performance.
THEA currently does not have a token, and no ICO or public sale has been announced.

| 10 | Spotify Confirms Streaming Fraud Linked to Prediction Markets
Spotify has confirmed it found evidence of artificial streaming after a Kalshi trader flagged suspicious activity tied to music-chart prediction markets. The issue centered on Malcolm Todd’s “Earrings,” which briefly surged to No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. chart before being pushed back after an internal review.
Spotify said it removed more than 500,000 artificial streams that had inflated the track’s ranking. By the time the correction was made, Kalshi had already settled the market based on the earlier chart data.
The situation has raised fresh concerns about how prediction markets can create incentives to manipulate the underlying data they track. Kalshi said it is investigating the matter, while Spotify asked Kalshi and Polymarket to remove its branding and clarify that there is no partnership.

| 11 | Only 3 Perp DEXs Grew Open Interest in 2026
Across the field, just three perp DEXs added open interest this year. Everyone else bled positions — even names pushing massive volume.
📈 The only growers
• Pacifica +32.8% ($64M → $85M)
• Hyperliquid +24.2% ($7.46B → $9.26B)
• GRVT +12.0% ($318M → $356M)
The tell: volume ≠ sticky positions. Aster did $482B in volume and still lost 31% of its OI; Apex traded $233B and shed 46%. Open interest is the honest metric — it's capital willing to stay on the book, not just pass through. | 2 791 |
| 12 | Samsung, Dunamu and K Bank Deny Joining the OUSD Stablecoin Consortium
Three of the marquee names attached to Open USD (OUSD) — Samsung, Dunamu (the parent of Korean exchange Upbit) and internet bank K Bank — say they never formally agreed to join the consortium, and were caught off guard to find themselves listed as partners.
OUSD, backed by Open Standard, was unveiled as a revenue-sharing stablecoin standard with a roster of 140+ "major partners" spanning Coinbase, BlackRock, Visa, Stripe and Mastercard — pitched as a serious challenger to Circle's USDC.
The public denials from three high-profile Korean players cast doubt on how firmly that partner lineup was actually locked in — and on how much of OUSD's headline momentum is real rather than aspirational.

| 13 | Mesh Eyes a $2B Valuation as Binance Leads New Round
Mesh, the crypto payments network behind PayPal's "Pay with Crypto," is raising a round led by Binance at up to a $2B valuation — double its $1B mark from six months ago.
It follows a $75M Series C in January and pushes Mesh past $200M raised since 2020. Earlier backers include PayPal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and Bybit.
The raise rides a boom in crypto and stablecoin payment rails as tokenization fuels demand for moving money onchain.

| 14 | Solana (SOL) Has Launched Onchain Governance
Solana has gone live with onchain governance, letting validators and SOL stakers formally propose, back and vote on core protocol changes directly on the network.
Opening a proposal requires 100,000 SOL staked — around $7.7M — a deliberately high bar to keep out spam and low-effort proposals.
It shifts Solana's protocol decisions onchain, formalizing what had mostly run off-chain through core teams.

| 15 | Securitize Brings Its Own Stock (SECZ) Onchain
On its NYSE listing day, Securitize tokenized its own public stock (SECZ) on both Avalanche and Solana — putting its shares onchain the moment they went public.
A rare eat-your-own-cooking moment: the RWA-tokenization firm behind BlackRock's BUIDL fund now runs its own equity as an onchain token, tradable alongside its NYSE-listed shares.
It underscores how tokenized public equities are moving from pilots to real listings on major chains.

| 16 | eToro Leads $12.5M Round in Onchain Perps DEX Extended
eToro led a $12.5M funding round for Extended, an onchain perpetual-futures exchange built by a former Revolut crypto team, alongside Jump Crypto and Alber Blanc.
Extended has cleared over $245B in volume across 100+ perp markets. eToro plans to wire its engine into Zengo, the self-custody wallet it acquired for $70M in April — letting users trade onchain derivatives while keeping custody.
It's part of a broader broker race into DeFi, with eToro citing "growing demand for seamless access to DeFi products" as Robinhood pushes its own onchain rails.

| 17 | Polymarket vs Kalshi: The Distribution War
Kalshi and Polymarket barely pull you to their own sites anymore. The land grab is happening inside other people's products — and the two took opposite doors.
Kalshi wired itself into regulated brokers: Robinhood, Coinbase, Webull, Interactive Brokers. ~88M funded accounts, sitting next to trillions in client assets.
Polymarket went the other way — into self-custodial wallets: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Bitget, OKX. A market in front of ~420M users.
They're not even measured on the same axis. Kalshi rides regulated broker balance sheets — $7.48B in 30-day volume. Polymarket rides raw on-chain flow — $3.73B — across wallets that never report a dollar of AUM.
Liquidity stopped being the moat. Distribution is. Whoever lands inside more apps owns the next wave of traders — and both are racing to become the default yes/no layer wherever money already sits.

| 19 | H2 2026 TGE Watchlist. 40 Tokens That Haven't Launched Yet
The Q2 TGE wave already cleared out its winners — Arcium, MegaETH, Re and others are live and trading. This is what's still loaded in the chamber for the back half of the year.
40 projects, zero tokens — yet. And the mix tells you where the meta is heading: perp DEXs dominate the board (10 of 40, all quietly farming points), while the biggest names left tokenless — Base, MetaMask, Arc — could each be the airdrop of the year.
Some are weeks away (Squid, GRVT). Some are a whole narrative away. Either way, if you're positioning for H2, these 40 are the names to know. | 2 736 |
| 20 | Ondo Finance Debuts SEC-Aligned Tokenized Stocks on Ethereum
Ondo has launched tokenized versions of iShares Core S&P 500 ETF and Micron Technology (MU) shares on Ethereum, becoming the first live implementation of the SEC's custodial tokenization framework.
The underlying securities remain held by regulated custodians, while one-to-one tokenized representations are issued through a registered transfer agent. Token holders also receive proxy voting, shareholder communications, and governance rights via Broadridge's infrastructure.
Although the product is currently unavailable to U.S. investors, the launch marks another major step toward bringing regulated equities fully onchain and expanding institutional adoption of tokenized securities.
