According to The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) pointed out in its "2026 Annual Economic Report" that current stablecoins do not meet monetary standards in terms of singularity, resilience, interoperability, and integrity, and their operational model is closer to ETFs rather than payment tools.The report estimates that even if the market value of stablecoins expands to between $1 trillion and $3 trillion, the net effect on economic output will still be slightly negative, while also exacerbating banks' financing pressures and weakening credit capacity. The BIS also warned of the risk of "stablecoin dollarization" in emerging economies, which could erode their monetary sovereignty.The report suggests using central bank currencies as a benchmark to construct a "unified ledger" that encompasses tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank currencies as an alternative, and uses the Project Agora cross-border payment prototype as a feasibility proof.

According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum research forum has released a new proposal introducing the "validator redirect revenue" mechanism, allowing validators to redirect 0% to 10% of staking rewards to fund ecosystem infrastructure and public goods. If a majority of validators support a certain percentage, that percentage will be enforced for all validators. Based on current staking levels, a redirect of 5% to 10% could bring approximately 50,000 to 70,000 ETH to the ecosystem each year, equivalent to about 120 million dollars.The proposal aims to address the long-standing "free-rider" problem in Ethereum, but it has also raised concerns about the risks of validators jointly manipulating the flow of funds and the misalignment of interests between staking operators and ETH holders. The proposal is currently still in the discussion phase and has not yet entered the formal voting process.

Mike Selig, the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), posted on the X platform to clarify several misunderstandings in the market regarding perpetual futures contracts and to address the controversy arising from the recent approval of related contracts by the CFTC. Mike Selig stated that the Commodity Exchange Act and relevant CFTC rules do not explicitly require that "futures contracts" must have a fixed expiration date or delivery date. Since Congress has not clearly defined this term, the identification of futures contracts is primarily based on judicial precedents and CFTC interpretations, and a fixed expiration date is not a necessary condition.In response to the claim that "the CFTC-approved BTCPERP contract allows U.S. users to use 250 times leverage," high leverage is not a characteristic of the perpetual contract structure itself, but rather a feature of the previous offshore trading model. Perpetual contracts regulated by the CFTC will adhere to the same leverage limits as other regulated futures products.Regarding the criticism that "the CFTC did not provide opportunities for industry participation and feedback," the CFTC publicly solicited opinions on "perpetual contracts" and "24/7 trading" in April 2025 and received over 100 responses from industry participants, including several CFTC-registered entities. Additionally, concerning the view that the funding rate mechanism is believed to incur high costs and induce undesirable market behavior, after considering the costs of opening positions and rolling over traditional term futures contracts, the annualized holding cost of the perpetual contract funding rate is roughly equivalent to that of traditional futures. The funding rate mechanism actually helps maintain price anchoring.

According to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated that despite a cumulative net outflow of $2.6 billion from Bitcoin spot ETFs in 2026, the long-term argument for Bitcoin as a store of value has not changed.Since the beginning of this year, the net inflow into ETFs and corporate treasuries has been approximately $12 billion (about $60 billion in 2025), with corporate treasuries being the main driving force. Glassnode data shows that 61% of the circulating Bitcoin supply has been idle for over a year.The accumulation of corporate funds is the main force offsetting ETF liquidations, with Strategy raising $7.5 billion through STRC preferred stock products to acquire approximately 100,000 Bitcoins, and its $53 billion Bitcoin position can cover more than 30 times STRC's annual cash dividends of $1.2 billion.Analysts added that although Bitcoin inflows have slowed, capital is shifting towards real-world asset (RWA) tokenization-related infrastructure, with platforms like Hyperliquid seeing significant growth in trading volume in tokenized stocks and commodities markets.

According to The Block, the Sui Foundation released an incident analysis report on the recent three interruptions of the mainnet, attributing the three network outages that occurred last Thursday and Friday to two independent vulnerabilities introduced by the v1.72 version upgrade. The first interruption lasted about six and a half hours, while the second and third occurred on Friday morning and afternoon, respectively.The first two interruptions were caused by the "address balance" feature introduced in v1.72, which exposed flaws in the transaction fee deduction method. When a transaction was canceled due to insufficient funds, the network would still spend those funds, resulting in a negative balance that caused the validation node reconciliation process to crash. The foundation acknowledged that the temporary fix pushed urgently on Thursday carried known interruption risks, and the team accepted this risk to quickly restore on-chain services, which led to another network interruption on Friday morning.The third interruption was triggered by another undisclosed random state vulnerability, occurring when the validation nodes restarted to install the fix patch. Sui stated that user funds were never at risk, that both vulnerabilities have been fixed, and that a mechanism to forcibly terminate stalled epochs has been established. The foundation also mentioned that AI agents with access to its production systems significantly accelerated the diagnostic process.

Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform that Bitcoin's volatility and correlation are increasingly approaching gold levels. This trend is significantly underestimated in the current market adjustment and may be a positive signal amid recent market turbulence.According to the 60-day historical volatility comparison data between IBIT and the Gold ETF (GLD) since its launch, it can be seen that Bitcoin's volatility structure is gradually aligning with gold, indicating that its asset characteristics may be changing.Eric Balchunas added that despite the highly volatile market environment, the BlackRock Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT) has continued to outperform U.S. stocks since the escalation of the Iran conflict, achieving more than double the excess returns compared to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) since the approval of the BlackRock ETF.

According to Theblock, a new academic paper concluded that after analyzing all transactions on Polymarket from 2023 to 2025, only 3.14% of accounts were defined as "skilled winners," who were able to consistently and accurately predict short-term price trends and final outcomes.

Accounts classified as unlucky or technically poor accounted for 67% of the total, bearing all of the platform's total losses.The paper was co-authored by Roberto Gómez-Cram, Yunhan Guo, Howard Kung from the London Business School, and Theis Ingerslev Jensen from Yale University, covering 1.72 million accounts and over 210,000 markets, with a total trading volume of approximately $13.76 billion.

Vercel's CEO Guillermo Rauch tweeted that the team has completed an in-depth security investigation, analyzing nearly 1 PB of complete Vercel network and API logs, far exceeding the initial Context.ai account breach incident.The investigation revealed that the attackers' activities extended beyond Context.ai and have distributed malware on a broader scale, targeting account keys from platforms like Vercel. Once the keys are obtained, the attackers quickly and comprehensively enumerate non-sensitive environment variables. Current measures include deepening collaboration with industry partners such as Microsoft, AWS, and Wiz to jointly protect the broader internet ecosystem; other suspected victims have been notified and advised to immediately rotate credentials and strengthen security best practices.
