Argot Collective and the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced that they have completed the final phase of the initial five-year funding commitment, with approximately 4,938 stETH to be transferred to a multi-signature wallet, to be unlocked in batches on July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027, respectively. The funding for the previous three years was fully disbursed last year, while the remaining two years were delayed due to terms and governance arrangements that were yet to be finalized, which have now been completed.The funds are held in a 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet managed by Argot, the newly established "Failure Protection Committee," and the Ethereum Foundation. This committee will act as an independent arbitrator to maintain Argot's independence in the event of disputes and provide expertise in programming languages and compilers.Argot Collective also pointed out that while this agreement provides substantial operational security, broader challenges remain: the Ethereum Foundation has limited funding, and the public infrastructure supporting DeFi, staking, and core protocols cannot rely on a single funding source in the long term. The organization stated that it will continue to release transparency reports and roadmap updates every six months.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau jointly announced that the first phase review on promoting the further application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in Hong Kong's fixed income market has been completed.The review results indicate that the current legal and regulatory environment in Hong Kong is sufficiently flexible to support the issuance of tokenized bonds. The three batches of iconic tokenized bonds issued by the Hong Kong government and the increasing number of corporate issuances (including those from issuers in Asia and the Middle East) are the best evidence of this. The next phase will involve a review of the legislation to promote the broader application of DLT in the fixed income market and the digital asset sector, including allowing the electronic execution of tokenized bond issuance documents and exploring concepts such as "custody" and "transfer" of tokenized fixed income products.

According to CoinDesk, as the July 1 deadline for the EU MiCA regulatory framework approaches, several cryptocurrency companies in Europe are turning their attention to the UAE.Irina Heaver, a lawyer at the Dubai law firm NeosLegal, stated that the volume of inquiries from European founders has significantly increased over the past year and a half, with over 120 inquiries received weekly, about half of which come from European countries.Heaver pointed out that many founders are dissatisfied with the bureaucracy and regulatory burdens in Europe and are opting for the UAE instead. The UAE's cryptocurrency regulatory framework is designed specifically for digital assets, with processes that are faster and typically completed in a few days, while Europe may take months. Additionally, UAE licenses can cover markets with approximately 4 billion people in Asia, North Africa, and more.Recently, Binance has withdrawn its MiCA application in Greece and notified some EU users that certain services will be suspended. Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, previously stated that about 80% of cryptocurrency companies would not be able to pass the MiCA compliance review. Heaver warned that this could lead to "brain drain, tax loss, and job loss" in Europe.

According to The Block, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated that the MiCA license application submitted by Binance in Greece fully complied with regulatory requirements and was close to approval before being withdrawn, but ultimately the process was interrupted due to "external political factors."In an interview, Zhao Changpeng mentioned that several countries within the EU had expressed interest in the license, and there was even a certain degree of "competitive pursuit," but the regulatory progress was ultimately affected by non-regulatory factors, forcing the application to be withdrawn. Binance officially withdrew its application in Greece last week and stated that it would turn to other EU member states to continue pursuing MiCA authorization.In response to market rumors regarding his connections with high-level EU politicians, Zhao Changpeng stated that he had not seen any verifiable documents and only saw similar claims online, which he did not confirm. Zhao Changpeng also pointed out that the EU MiCA transition period will officially end on July 1, at which time platforms that have not obtained licenses must cease related services. Regulatory agencies in various countries have made it clear that they will not postpone enforcement, and they evaluate this outcome as a "lose-lose situation," using the regulatory processes in Japan and Singapore as examples to emphasize that compliance processes often require a longer period.Additionally, when discussing Strategy's STRC preferred stock product, Zhao Changpeng stated that its structure is "too complex" and expressed difficulty in fully understanding its mechanism, but emphasized that he does not comment on the credibility of its founder Michael Saylor, considering him a "staunch supporter of Bitcoin."
