Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company has postponed its plans to list Mars and Mercury preferred shares due to the immaturity of the Japanese preferred stock market and restrictions from exchange rules. He mentioned that Japanese exchanges require preferred stock dividends to be supported by sustainable, recurring cash flows, while Metaplanet still needs to prove that its Bitcoin revenue business can generate stable returns in different market environments.Additionally, the company plans to distribute dividends monthly, but the Japanese market typically has annual or semi-annual dividends, and the relevant infrastructure still needs to be improved. Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC, and its stock price has fallen 25% year-to-date.

Several addresses funded by Upbit's hot wallet bought before WIF was listed on Upbit and quickly sold after the listing; similar operations also appeared with VVV.In addition, Definalist hinted that Upbit has been intensively testing STABLE tokens recently, and the suspected wash trading wallets also showed related buying activities.

According to market news, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini submitted revisions to the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, requesting the removal of the provision in the digital asset bill that requires trading platforms to list only tokens that are "not readily susceptible to manipulation."The three companies believe that this provision will increase the difficulty of listing small-cap, low-liquidity tokens and could be used by future CFTC chairs as a tool for tightening regulation. The current draft aims to grant the CFTC broader powers over the spot markets for "digital commodities" such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Senate Agriculture Committee has already passed the relevant sections along party lines, and further significant modifications will be made to gain support from the Democrats.

According to official news, Coinbase has added Nexus (NEX) to the listing roadmap.

According to CoinDesk, Aave Labs will rewrite the asset listing and collateral risk control rules. In addition to the existing price and volatility assessments, new reviews will be added for compatibility, network security, and underlying architecture, and minimum standard guidelines will be published for asset issuers.This move stems from the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge attack in April, where hackers minted approximately $293 million worth of unbacked rsETH and borrowed real wETH on Aave as collateral, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in bad debt for the protocol. Aave will also shift from a single pool perspective to studying systemic connections between different DeFi protocols to reduce cross-protocol risks and is calling on other DeFi projects to follow similar standards.

According to a report by the analysis firm Kaiko on Monday, the open interest, funding rates, and on-chain trading patterns in the perpetual contract market indicate that some traders may have positioned themselves ahead of the announcement of the Robinhood cryptocurrency listing. The report highlights the most obvious case of wallet address 0xa1E, which opened a long position in Lighter (LIT) on Hyperliquid at 11:05 AM on January 15, about an hour before Robinhood announced the listing of the token, and this wallet subsequently closed the position after the announcement.The same address also opened a short position in HOOD a few hours before Robinhood reported lower-than-expected first-quarter revenue on April 28. Several tokens, including ZEC, SNX, and NEAR, experienced abnormal spikes in open interest and funding rates, as well as price drift, before their listing announcements. Researcher Fraussen told Cointelegraph that traders who understand microstructure may have noticed public signals such as rising funding rates and increased trading volume and positioned themselves accordingly, but this type of positioning is statistically consistent and has repeatedly occurred across multiple events, reflecting privileged access to Robinhood's listing pipeline or a highly reliable front-running method based on public signals.

According to Bitcoin.com, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a notice seeking public comment on the rule change proposed by the NYSE Arca.The proposal requires that at least 85% of the assets in commodity trust shares must meet existing eligibility standards, with derivatives calculated based on nominal total value. Eligible assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, which have been traded on designated markets for at least six months and have exchange-traded products providing significant exposure, while NFTs and collectibles are explicitly excluded.If the trust holds Bitcoin and over-the-counter call options on Bitcoin ETFs, only about 71% of the exposure will meet the requirements and will not be approved. The proposal aims to limit most exposure to a manageable range of assets while allowing more products to be listed. The SEC can approve, reject, or initiate related procedures during the review period.

Coinbase Markets has added Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), Pharos (PROS), and KAIO (KAIO) to the listing roadmap. The specific launch time will depend on market-making support and technical readiness, and will be announced separately once conditions are met.

BNB Treasury Company BNB Plus disclosed that it has received a notice from Nasdaq, stating that it no longer meets the continued listing standards due to its stock price being below the minimum requirement of $1, and because it implemented a reverse stock split in the past year, it is not eligible for the regular compliance period. The company stated that it has requested a hearing, and its stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the outcome is determined.In addition, BNB Plus announced that the board of directors has approved the initiation of a strategic alternatives assessment to maximize shareholder value, with potential options including mergers, reverse mergers, asset sales, joint ventures, financing, and other transactions. As of now, the value of its crypto treasury assets is approximately $12.2 million.

On-chain detective ZachXBT questioned Kraken's due diligence process for the listing of $M (Memecore) spot trading on July 3, 2025, stating that approximately 7.9 million $M had been withdrawn from Kraken to 18 newly created addresses, of which a total of about 11.7 million $M is currently held, valued at approximately $39.8 million at the current price.He also mentioned that a suspected Memecore team address received 200 million $M during the token generation event (TGE) and transferred 5.3 million $M to the Kraken deposit address on July 3, 2025.

On-chain detective ZachXBT questioned Kraken's review process for the listing of Memecore (M) spot trading and pointed out that there were anomalies in the related on-chain fund flows.He stated that approximately $7.9 million flowed out of Kraken to 18 newly created addresses, which currently hold a total of about 11.7 million M (currently valued at approximately $39.8 million). At the same time, he claimed that a suspected team address had previously deposited about 5.3 million M into Kraken, raising market concerns about token distribution and trading behavior.

The head of the Spark Protocol strategy, monetsupply.eth, posted on platform X stating that in January of this year, low-usage assets like rsETH were removed and collateral and functionality were continuously tightened. This move sparked strong dissatisfaction among "ETH leveraged" users at the time.Additionally, Spark has long set a high upper limit on interest rates in the ETH lending market, transferring some business and revenue to Aave over the past year (where its ETH borrowing rate once dropped to 10% or below). However, in the current market crisis environment, this strategy has proven to be more prudent. Currently, SparkLend still maintains sufficient ETH withdrawal liquidity, while Aave has experienced liquidity tightness and even "lock-up" situations in the Ethereum mainnet and multi-chain markets like Arbitrum and Base.monetsupply.eth further warned that since ETH is the core collateral asset, when market utilization reaches 100%, collateral liquidation will not be able to execute normally. The depletion of liquidity not only affects the depositor experience but may also pose systemic risks. In the current situation of insufficient liquidity in Aave, a 15%-20% drop in ETH prices could lead to significant bad debt accumulation (in addition to the potential impact of the rsETH incident).

According to documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a rule change proposal to the SEC (File No. SR-NYSE-2026-17) to add Rule 7.5 and amend related provisions, allowing eligible securities to be traded in tokenized form on the exchange.The proposal is based on the three-year tokenization pilot program by the Depository Trust Company (DTC) and is modeled after similar rules previously approved by the SEC for Nasdaq. According to the proposal, tokenized securities must share the same CUSIP number, trading code, and shareholder rights as traditional securities to trade with equal priority on the same order book. The initial scope is limited to components of the Russell 1000 Index and ETFs tracking major indices, with a settlement cycle remaining unchanged at T+1, and existing regulatory rules will also apply to tokenized securities.

According to Tech in Asia, South Korean internet giant Naver plans to promote the IPO of its fintech subsidiary Naver Financial within five years after completing a share swap with Dunamu, the operator of the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit in which it holds shares. The transaction has been delayed due to an extended antitrust review period, and the specific timetable and structure will depend on market conditions and the regulatory environment. The proposed "Digital Asset Basic Law" in South Korea may change the transaction structure or timetable.On the same day the share swap contract was signed, both parties entered into a shareholder agreement, requiring the establishment of an IPO committee for Naver Financial within one year after the share swap is completed. If the IPO is not achieved within five years, the timeframe can be extended by another two years. Regulators are also discussing a proposal to limit the shareholding ratio of the major shareholders of the exchange to within 20%, which may lead to adjustments in the transaction terms.

According to official news, Coinbase has included Diem (DIEM) and Opengradient (OPG) in its listing roadmap.

Binance co-founder He Yi (@heyibinance) published a lengthy article on the X platform on April 10, directly responding to a series of accusations made by OKX founder Xu Mingxing (@star_okx) against CZ and Binance. He Yi refuted each point in the article, stating that Xu deliberately blamed Binance for the market crash on March 11, defined the BNB chain meme as market manipulation by Binance, hired online trolls to suppress competitors, and engaged in "six tactics" such as creating controversies to drive traffic to himself. He bluntly stated, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman," emphasizing that his position is earned through independent effort and is unrelated to anyone else.At the end of the article, He Yi also responded strongly to personal attacks against him, stating, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman, just by stigmatizing 'she is where she is today because of a man,' deliberately creating scandalous rumors, and belittling me as 'a trophy'," and emphasized, "My identity is not given by anyone; I built my own empire. I came, I saw, I conquered; this applies to both my career and my relationships."Previously, CZ (@cz_binance) had posted about Xu Mingxing's public $1 billion bet, demanding that he "apologize like a man." Xu Mingxing responded by stating that CZ's public initiation of a huge bet contradicts the professional ethics expected of executives at regulated exchanges. The debate between the two parties is still ongoing.
