$ZRO keeps sliding after the $292M Kelp DAO exploit, the biggest DeFi hack of 2026.
→ Price dropped from $2.04 to $1.58, down 21.44% on the week. → Market cap at $504M with 24h volume of $42.7M, up 19%. → FDV of 1.59B and 317M ZRO circulating out of 1B total supply. → The attack targeted the DVN's RPC infrastructure, not the protocol itself.
The public dispute between Kelp and LayerZero over the 1/1 DVN config keeps pressuring both price and narrative.
Crypto taxation varies widely across jurisdictions, and several countries updated their rules in 2026.
The image gathers the highest current rates, with data verified from official sources like Koinly and TokenTax.
The spread is wide because each country classifies digital assets differently, either as capital gains, personal income or miscellaneous income.
Some points worth highlighting:
→ Japan taxes crypto as miscellaneous income, reaching up to 55% → Italy raised its flat rate from 26% to 33% this year → France keeps 31.4% for individuals but pros can hit 63.6% under the PFU regime → India applies 30% plus 1% TDS with no loss offset allowed → USA taxes short term gains up to 37% when held under one year
The takeaway is that jurisdiction matters more than ever for anyone active in DeFi, trading or long term holding. A 20 point gap in tax rate can reshape an entire strategy.
Over the past few months, Securitize has been consolidating its position as one of the leading real-world asset tokenization platforms, expanding across multiple networks and asset classes.
March 2026 data shows that progress 👇
➥ $3.13B in distributed assets, up +4.07% in 30 days.
➥ US Treasury Debt represents 72.64% of total value ($2.3B), up +11.43% in the period.
➥ Venture Capital holds 8.74% ($273.6M), followed by Private Equity at 4.45% ($139.2M).
➥ Ethereum concentrates 38.58% of distributed assets ($1.2B), up +22.80% in 30 days.
➥ Solana ranks second with 18.49% ($579.1M) and BNB Chain third with 16.89% ($528.9M).
Monthly volume pulled back to $102.44M (-79.24%), but the asset base keeps growing with 21 active RWAs distributed across 10+ networks.
The platform operates with 1,788 holders and the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund remains the largest individual asset at over $2.1B.
→ Ondo Finance partnered with Franklin Templeton, 5 new ETFs tokenized → Zama became the confidentiality layer for T-REX Ledger → Tron DAO expanded its AI Fund from $100M to $1B → BNB Chain now has 250+ tokenized assets via Ondo → Sui launched Hashi to bring DeFi access to native Bitcoin
On-chain data has always been scattered, with no standard way to read or verify a claim from an app you didn't build. Sign Protocol fixes that. It's an omni-chain attestation protocol for signing, storing, and verifying structured data across Ethereum, Solana, TON, and more. → Attestations are digital signatures on structured data → Schemas define the format, keeping data readable and reusable → SignScan indexes everything into one queryable endpoint across all chains Any claim, verifiable by anyone, at any time. That's the new standard for trust in Web3.
RWAs are moving fast this week across multiple chains and protocols.
→ @Ondo Finance added +60 tokenized stocks and ETFs to its platform → @BNB Chain RWA TVL just crossed $3B → @Plume - RWA Chain integrated with ether.fi, bringing RWA yields to $6B in deposits → @Polygon and Apex Group are backing a new compliance-focused blockchain → Centrifuge integrated $LayerZero to enable omnichain RWAs
The infrastructure for real-world assets is getting deeper every week. More details in the thread below. $BNB $ONDO $PLUME
On-chain attestations: how Sign Protocol is rebuilding trust from scratch
An attestation is a signed statement confirming that something is true. A university degree, a KYC approval, a transaction history, all of these are claims that someone needs to verify. Historically, verification depended on institutions. In digital systems operating across agencies and networks, that model breaks down fast. Sign Protocol solves this by turning attestations into on-chain infrastructure: → Any claim can be structured using a registered schema → Digital signatures certify the attester's identity → Zero-knowledge proofs allow verification without exposing the underlying data The result is trust that is repeatable, attributable, and verifiable across any chain. #SignDigitalSovereignInfra $SIGN @SignOfficial
The SEC and CFTC just released a joint guidance confirming that most crypto assets are not securities.
One of the biggest regulatory shifts the industry has ever seen.
For over a decade, the SEC under Gary Gensler treated almost every crypto token as a security, which led to lawsuits against Ripple, Coinbase, and many other projects.
The new guidance creates a clear token taxonomy with 5 categories:
→ Digital commodities ($BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP, $ADA, $AVAX) - not securities
→ Digital collectibles (NFTs, meme coins, in-game items, art) - not securities
→ Digital tools (memberships, tickets, credentials, identity) - not securities
→ Stablecoins - not securities
→ Digital securities - the only category still regulated by the SEC
It also clarifies that Bitcoin mining, protocol staking, and airdrops do not qualify as securities transactions.
The practical impact is significant ➥ Less legal risk for exchanges and developers. ➥ Clearer rules for DeFi projects. ➥ Much stronger environment for institutional adoption in the US.
