According to Blockaid monitoring, the trading price of MetronomeDAO's Synth USD (msUSD) on Ethereum, Base, and Optimism once dropped about 11% below the pegged value. Subsequently, MetronomeDAO released a post-mortem report stating that its synthetic asset swap module had insufficient collateral issues, resulting in a lack of adequate asset backing for approximately 6,367 msETH and 4.57 million msUSD, with the impact primarily concentrated on that module.The report pointed out that the problem stemmed from delays in the Chainlink price oracle during swap execution, and Metronome's fee design failed to adequately account for this variable, particularly on the Base chain where the situation was more severe. The team has deployed over $34 million in defensive positions and about $6.5 million in "last exit" liquidity, which could be used to repurchase and destroy sufficient assets to eliminate the gap if the peg deviates by about 30%. The team has increased the transaction fees for all synthetic trading pairs and upgraded the protocol to support a directionally isolated fee mechanism. Priority will be given to ensuring the treasury repurchases and destroys synthetic assets to restore 100% adequate collateral, while not affecting the rights of MET token holders, and the MET repurchase and distribution plan will proceed as usual.

Bitget released the rToken Institutional Cross-Asset Capital Management Guide, which details how market makers, hedge funds, quantitative trading firms, prime brokers, and asset management companies can utilize its Unified Trading Account (UTA) to enhance capital efficiency between cryptocurrencies and tokenized U.S. stocks. The guide focuses on portfolio construction and financing strategies, covering core trading scenarios such as cross-asset collateral, dividend arbitrage, and lending structures that balance capital efficiency with risk isolation, providing a practical framework for institutions to optimize multi-asset allocation.Currently, Bitget's Unified Trading Account (UTA) supports over 370 types of collateralizable assets, including 105 types of tokenized U.S. stocks. Eligible crypto assets and tokenized stocks can enter the same margin system, share collateral, and offset margin requirements, helping institutions reduce idle funds scattered across exchanges and brokerage accounts.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that institutions do not lack access to the stock market; the real challenge lies in how to efficiently move funds between different markets. As tokenized assets gradually enter institutional portfolios, managing crypto assets and tokenized stocks under a unified framework will provide more possibilities for risk management and asset allocation.

Bitget's staking and borrowing section has added support for 38 stock tokens (rToken) as collateral assets, bringing the total supported to 103.

Users holding the relevant stock tokens can now use them as collateral to borrow mainstream assets like USDT and USDC, as well as over 100 types of cryptocurrencies, thereby releasing liquidity without selling their positions. Specific collateral parameters can be referenced on the Bitget official platform.It is reported that the rToken, identified by the letter r + stock code (for example, Nvidia is rNVDA), is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget, and is directly connected to global liquidity pools such as NASDAQ and NYSE through collaboration with compliant broker Alpaca. Its features include: 1:1 reserve of underlying assets managed by a licensed custodian, stock dividends distributed in token form at a 1:1 ratio, support for corporate actions (such as stock splits), and positions can serve as joint collateral for unified accounts and U-based contracts.

A report jointly released by the Bitcoin collateral lending platform CoinRabbit and the computing power platform GoMining points out that managing Bitcoin is more important than mining it. As the block reward drops to 3.125 BTC and the overall network difficulty approaches historical highs, low electricity prices and high uptime only constitute a survival baseline. What truly differentiates mining companies is the method of handling Bitcoin after it is mined.The report suggests that mining companies are shifting from direct sales to collateralized lending to cover recurring expenses such as electricity, custody, and labor. This approach retains exposure to holding Bitcoin while generating cash flow, avoids taxable sales, and preserves the deduction space for operating expenses. The trade-off is that mining companies simultaneously bear the dual risks of price and liquidation when Bitcoin prices decline.Jeremy Dreier, Chief Business Development Officer of GoMining, stated that the miners who can succeed after the halving are those who operate efficiently and have set aside cash in advance for this purpose. The current decline in Bitcoin prices has actually lowered the cost of increasing computing power, creating a window of opportunity for investing in expanding mining machines.

Ostium released an update on the attack incident. Its liquidity provider fund was attacked on July 15, resulting in a loss of 23,752,746 USDC.

The team paused trading and froze all trading contracts within 60 minutes after the first attack transaction occurred. Currently, Ostium is collaborating with Mandiant, zeroShadow, Collisionless, SEAL 911, and law enforcement agencies, coordinating with trading platforms, bridging contracts, and stablecoin issuers to advance the investigation. The engineering team is focused on repairing and strengthening the relevant infrastructure to support the secure resumption of trading.Ostium indicated that it will notify at least 24 hours in advance before unfreezing the trading contracts. After trading resumes, existing positions will be marked at the price at the time of reopening, unaffected by price fluctuations during the pause. Addressing the affected liquidity providers and securely resuming trading remains the current top priority.

According to a report by The Defiant, data from Token Terminal shows that the on-chain trading activity of tokenized stocks and their use in lending and collateralization are both on the rise, but they still account for a small proportion of the overall DeFi market. Specifically, the on-chain spot DEX for tokenized stocks has reached a cumulative trading volume of $1.8 billion over the past 90 days, while the lending market has a deposit scale of approximately $23 million.In detail, on-chain trading volume is mainly concentrated on BNB Chain and Solana, accounting for 47.3% and 45.5% of the trading volume over the past 90 days, respectively; by asset classification, tokens tracking QQQ and SPY account for 40.5% and 40.4% of the total trading volume.
