The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 104 partners of Arc, covering six core sectors: asset issuance, infrastructure, developer tools, trading, financial services, and payments. Compared to most public chains that first develop a developer ecosystem and then seek commercialization scenarios, Arc's path is clearly more aligned with the real financial circulation network. At the asset issuance level, stablecoin issuers such as AllUnity, BDACS, Bitso/Juno, and Stablecorp, as well as tokenized asset players like Centrifuge, Securitize, and WisdomTree have entered the scene, indicating that Arc prioritizes solving the "on-chain asset supply" issue, bringing dollars, bonds, and securities onto the chain. At the infrastructure level, partners like Blockdaemon, Chainalysis, Elliptic, QuickNode, and DRPC provide node services, compliance analysis, and on-chain data support. This means Arc is preparing for institutional funds, rather than following the typical Crypto public chain model of "growth first, compliance later." At the developer tools level, partners such as Axelar, Wormhole, Chainlink, MetaMask, Fireblocks, Privy, Alchemy, LayerZero, and TRM Labs are concentrated, essentially lowering the migration costs for institutions and developers, allowing funds, wallets, cross-chain, and compliance tools to be directly in place. At the trading level, institutions like Coinbase, Bybit, Kraken, Robinhood, Galaxy Digital, and B2C2 are responsible for secondary market liquidity and price discovery. The payment layer is heavily integrated by Visa, Mastercard, PhotonPay, Nuvei, EBANX, and Ramp. At the financial services level, firms like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, State Street, Aave, Maple Finance, Morpho, and BitGo are appearing simultaneously, indicating that Arc has begun to bridge traditional banking, on-chain lending, and custody systems. On the surface, Arc appears to be a new public chain, but from an ecological structure perspective, it will serve as the new financial infrastructure for the Circle stablecoin era, directly emphasizing USDC gas fees, sub-second final settlement, compliance privacy, and native CCTP integration, aiming to directly penetrate real capital flows and attempt to become SWIFT + Stripe + DTCC.

According to Decrypt, Google's Threat Analysis Group confirmed that cybercriminals used an AI model to discover and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in a popular open-source web management tool that could bypass two-factor authentication. Google stated that this is the first time the company has confirmed AI-assisted zero-day vulnerability development in a real-world environment. Before attackers could exploit it on a large scale, Google worked with the affected vendor to patch the vulnerability. Google's report noted that the vulnerability was a logic error, where the software trusted a condition that could bypass two-factor authentication. Unlike traditional scanners that look for crashes or error codes, AI analyzed the expected behavior of the software and detected logical contradictions, allowing attackers to bypass security checks without compromising encryption.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 30 Web3 business partners of Hyperliquid, covering multiple key aspects such as stablecoins, cross-chain infrastructure, wallet entry, DeFi protocols, institutional custody, and trading ecosystems, gradually forming a complete on-chain financial system. At the funding level, Hyperliquid has connected with stablecoin issuers such as Circle, Tether, and Ethena. In terms of underlying infrastructure, it connects with cross-chain and oracle services like Chainlink, Axelar, deBridge, and Ripple. The user entry layer includes wallets and front-end tools like Phantom, Rabby Wallet, and DeBank, lowering the entry barrier for users. At the same time, more native DeFi protocols have begun to emerge within its ecosystem, such as Pendle, Felix, HypurrFi, and HyperBeat. According to RootData, the Hyperliquid ecosystem has included 145 quality projects, indicating that Hyperliquid is attracting more financial applications to build businesses around its liquidity. Additionally, the inclusion of custodians like Anchorage Digital, BitGo, and Fireblocks has begun to connect it with larger institutional funds. Trading platforms and market-making institutions like Bybit, trade.xyz, and IMC Trading further enhance market liquidity. Overall, Hyperliquid is continuously expanding around "on-chain liquidity," attempting to replicate the ecosystem model of centralized exchanges on-chain, but the core is no longer an account system.

Some observers view Morgan Stanley's entry into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this month as a catalyst to end the current crypto bear market, citing the large distribution capability of the Wall Street giant's $8 trillion wealth advisory network. However, Blockstream CEO and early Bitcoin community contributor Adam Back stated that "it won't happen that quickly."Back was recently speculated by The New York Times to be the anonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, which he denied. Back indicated that from a positive market signal perspective, the Bitcoin ETF could be the most significant development in recent times, even more important than a pro-crypto U.S. government, but this process is slower than most people realize.Back stated, "I think one thing people might be miscalculating is that institutional adoption is very slow. So the ETF has been bought, but when BlackRock suggested allocating 2% to 4% in its general stock portfolio, fund managers had not done that yet. They will, but slower than people expect." He mentioned that investors will not rush in overnight, and the accumulation process could take a year or even 18 months.Regarding prices, Back noted that the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle needs to be considered. He pointed out that even if some commentators believe the four-year cycle is breaking down, "people expect it to happen, so they sell to make it actually happen," and a decline could still occur. This logic will only change when people see the market strengthen, which is currently manifesting in the form of institutional capital inflows.Back stated that regarding recent comments about the accelerated development of quantum computing hardware potentially threatening Bitcoin's cryptography, institutions are more systematic in risk management and will focus on tail risks, while retail investors view it as a distant future risk.

Sky announced that it is building Laniakea, a standardized infrastructure framework for institutional-level capital deployment, for its Sky Agent Network.Currently, Sky Protocol manages over $11 billion in USDS circulation and generates returns through strategies such as DeFi lending, private credit, and compliant real-world assets. Laniakea will serve as the underlying infrastructure to enhance the scalability and efficiency of capital allocation, further advancing on-chain finance towards institutional levels. The project aims to address the current issue of over $300 billion in idle stablecoins and the lack of unified infrastructure.Laniakea will achieve standardization from four dimensions: smart contracts, risk and governance, data infrastructure, and legal compliance, allowing new capital products to avoid redundant construction of underlying frameworks, thus enabling modular expansion and scalable deployment. At the same time, through unified risk measurement and loss layering mechanisms, it ensures that risks are transparent and responsibilities are clear.Under this framework, Sky Agents (Primes) will develop investment strategies and compete for capital allocation based on unified standards, while specific products (Halos) will quickly land based on shared infrastructure. Laniakea will also encode the entire protocol's operational status in a machine-readable manner, providing a foundation for AI-driven real-time risk control and capital scheduling.As the capital scale expands and returns increase, Sky expects to strengthen the value capture capability of the SKY token through buyback and staking mechanisms.

Bitget officially launched the "Blockchain4Youth Learning Center" with its first course, aimed at providing a systematic blockchain learning path for young people and further connecting knowledge learning with career development.
