Sui Network has launched gasless stablecoin transfers, a new protocol-level feature that enables users and businesses to send supported stablecoins on Sui without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance. With the feature now rolling out to validators, stablecoin transfer fees stand at $0.00 on the network.
The change represents a structural shift in how peer-to-peer transfers of supported stablecoins operate on Sui Mainnet. It is not a subsidy, sponsorship program, or temporary arrangement.
What Tokens Are Supported
Supported assets include $USDC, $FDUSD, $AUSD, $USDY, USDsui, suiUSDe, and USDB, with the feature designed to simplify payment workflows and remove one of the largest friction points in stablecoin adoption: the requirement to hold a separate token to complete transactions. Zero-cost transfers also mean gas fees can no longer rival or exceed the value of the payment itself, making micropayments viable at any scale.
Fireblocks Joins at Launch
Fireblocks, the enterprise platform securing more than $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, integrated the new solution ahead of the rollout as part of Sui's broader payments ecosystem expansion. Its support strengthens the institutional accessibility of Sui's payments infrastructure by enabling enterprises and financial service providers to manage stablecoin activity on the network through trusted digital asset infrastructure.
Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui, framed the move as a long-held principle: "Stablecoins are becoming a core part of global finance, but the infrastructure around them still creates unnecessary complexity. From the start, we've said it should not cost individuals fees to move their own money."
Ran Goldi, SVP Payments and Network at Fireblocks, added: "The future of payments will run on stablecoin rails, but the experience for institutions still needs to catch up."
Sui's horizontally scalable architecture and object-centric design allow the network to support high-frequency payment activity with predictable performance and low operational overhead, positioning it for emerging payment applications, agentic commerce, and enterprise-grade financial systems.

Ripple has integrated its global multi-asset prime brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, with the trading venues operated by EDX Markets and EDXM International. The integration enables Ripple Prime's clients to access EDX's spot and perpetual futures liquidity for digital assets within a unified, capital-efficient prime brokerage framework.
One Framework, Deeper Liquidity
EDX Markets' spot trading venue and EDXM International's perpetual futures exchange are primary price discovery destinations, offering deep liquidity and a non-conflicted structure modeled on best practices from traditional financial markets. Clients receive enhanced capital efficiency through Ripple Prime's credit intermediation, net settlement, and collateral management services, addressing common pain points brought by market fragmentation and counterparty risk.
Rather than settling every individual trade, Ripple Prime can net out positions and settle the difference, freeing up capital that would otherwise be locked in margin accounts, a meaningful advantage when trading at institutional scale.
The deal also has roots in Ripple's broader expansion strategy. The development follows Ripple's $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road in April last year, a deal that gave Ripple ownership of a global, multi-asset prime brokerage business and positioned it among the few crypto-native firms in the sector. Hidden Road provides clearing, prime brokerage, and financing services across foreign exchange, digital assets, derivatives, swaps, and fixed income markets, forming the foundation of Ripple Prime.
RLUSD Settlement and What Comes Next
The partnership also lays the groundwork for the future integration of Ripple USD ($RLUSD), Ripple's U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, as a settlement and collateral asset on EDX. This will enable institutional clients to post and receive margin via a fully regulated, compliant dollar-pegged digital asset and drive enhanced cross-collateralization and margin efficiencies across spot crypto and perpetual futures trading.
Ripple Prime has also been expanding its financing capacity, recently securing a $200 million debt facility from Neuberger Specialty Finance to support institutional margin financing and prime brokerage services.
Both sides framed the deal in terms of rising institutional demand. Michael Higgins, International CEO of Ripple Prime, said the partnership supports venues offering "a secure, liquid bridge between traditional and digital markets," adding that EDX delivers "the performance, reliability, and depth that our clients expect." EDX Markets CEO Tony Acuna-Rohter said institutions are seeking infrastructure that combines "the operational rigor of traditional finance with the innovation and efficiency of digital assets."

A Long Watch, Then a Conviction
Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain publicly detailed the firm's Zcash ($ZEC) position on the Bankless podcast on May 19, laying out why one of crypto's most influential venture firms has placed a significant bet on a privacy coin many had written off. Jain said Multicoin had watched Zcash for years without conviction, noting the asset had long suffered from weak attention, poor usability and limited evidence that privacy demand could translate into durable market interest.
That view shifted after a sharp rally, followed by a correction that still held well above prior lows. Rather than reading the pullback as a failed narrative, Jain framed it as a stress test. Key community members stayed engaged and vocal throughout the drawdown, which he took as a signal of genuine conviction rather than speculative froth.
Jain first disclosed the position at Consensus Miami in early May, confirming Multicoin had been accumulating ZEC since February. The firm did not disclose the exact dollar size of the position.
Privacy as a Store of Value
Jain's core thesis positions Zcash as a private store of value, a category distinct from Bitcoin's censorship resistance. Where Bitcoin transactions are fully public on-chain, Zcash uses zk-SNARK encryption to shield the sender, receiver and amount inside its shielded pool. Jain argued the market has so far priced only one side of that equation.
The broader macro backdrop underpins the thesis. Jain pointed to proposed wealth-tax legislation in California as a warning signal, arguing that as governments expand financial surveillance, demand for assets that are mathematically shielded from oversight will grow. Multicoin described ZEC as the cleanest way to express that thesis in public markets.
Upcoming technical catalysts may add further momentum. Analysts have cited Ledger support for shielded ZEC, a shielded pool share of roughly 31% to 32% of supply, and planned block-time reductions from 75 seconds to 25 seconds as developments worth watching for adoption.
For Multicoin, a firm known for early positions in Solana, Helium and The Graph, the move into a privacy coin marks a notable shift in portfolio strategy and a clear signal that financial privacy is moving back toward the centre of the crypto conversation.

World Liberty Financial token holders booked their largest single-day realized profit on record on May 18, 2026, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment. The network recorded 1.8 billion $WLFI tokens sold for profit, while dormancy metrics showed 17.4 trillion tokens moved on an age-consumed basis, both figures unprecedented for the project.
Binance USD1/BTC Futures Launch Drives the Spike
The surge in profit-taking coincided directly with Binance going live with a USD1/BTC perpetual futures pair on the same day. This marked the first time USD1 was used as a direct primary settlement asset on Binance. Previously the stablecoin could only function as a secondary collateral option, allowing holders to borrow USDT. Under the new arrangement, profits, losses, and funding rates are all settled directly in USD1, putting it on par with how standard USDT pairs operate.
Zach Witkoff, CEO of World Liberty Financial, described the listing as a step toward making USD1 "a core settlement asset across global crypto trading." The contract offers traders up to 100x leverage on a 24/7 schedule, with funding rates capped at plus or minus 0.375% and fees settled every eight hours.
USD1 Continues to Outpace the Broader Stablecoin Market
The Binance integration is the latest step in a rapid expansion for USD1. Supply has grown from roughly $2 billion to over $4 billion on a year-on-year basis, a 100% increase compared with 32% growth across the broader stablecoin market over the same period. Beyond Binance, USD1 has also secured integration with MEXC, Aster DEX, and institutional platform Falcon, and went live on Bybit with a WLFI rewards program just days after the Binance launch.
The scale of the May 18 profit-taking signals that existing holders used the heightened attention around the Binance launch as an exit point. Whether the expanded utility of USD1 as a settlement asset can sustain and attract fresh demand in the weeks ahead remains the key question for the project.

OKX Opens Pi Network to US Users
Pi Core Team has confirmed that OKX (@okx) has made $PI available to millions of users in the United States for the first time, marking a notable step in the project's ongoing push for mainstream adoption. The move gives Pi Network a meaningful commercial presence in one of the most closely watched regulatory environments in crypto.
Pi Network said the expansion is intended to strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real-world user growth globally.
Context: Pi Network's Exchange Journey and Protocol Development
When Pi Network's Open Network launched on February 20, 2025, it was one of crypto's most anticipated debuts. The project had over 60 million engaged users and more than 19 million identity-verified Pioneers at the time of listing, with spot trading for the PI/USDT pair opening at 8:00 am UTC on February 20, 2025. As Bitget and other exchanges followed with listings, the token reached $2.99, briefly valuing the network at over $25 billion fully diluted.
Pi Network is a decentralized blockchain project launched in 2019 by Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan, both Stanford University graduates. Its core premise is lowering the barrier to crypto participation by letting users mine the token directly from a smartphone app. The network runs on the Stellar Consensus Protocol, a federated Byzantine agreement mechanism that validates transactions through trusted nodes rather than competitive computation, making it more energy-efficient than proof-of-work alternatives.
On the protocol side, Pi Network activated its Protocol 23 upgrade on May 18, 2026, introducing native smart contract and decentralized application support. The hard fork shifts the network from a basic mainnet to a programmable Layer 1 blockchain. Whether the upgrade will be enough to catalyze meaningful developer activity and offset persistent token unlocks remains an open question. Analysts largely maintain a neutral stance and urge patience until utility absorbs token inflation.

SVR Adds Parallel Orderflow Auction Support on Ethereum
Chainlink $LINK has upgraded its Smart Value Recapture (SVR) system on Ethereum $ETH mainnet, introducing a new orderflow auction multiplexing architecture that allows multiple auctions to run in parallel. The update adds support for builders including Titan Builder, expanding the pool of searchers competing for liquidation backrun rights and putting downward pressure on inclusion delays.
SVR is designed to intercept Oracle Extractable Value (OEV), a category of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) that arises when oracle price updates trigger liquidations in DeFi lending protocols. Before SVR, that value flowed entirely to block builders and third-party searchers, with nothing returning to the protocols or oracles that generated it. The multiplexing upgrade raises MEV recapture rates by increasing competition among searchers. Early performance showed a 20.9% recapture rate, but Chainlink reports averages now exceeding 80%, with some transactions hitting above 90%.
Revenue Impact for Aave and the Broader DeFi Ecosystem
The primary beneficiary on Ethereum mainnet is Aave, which became SVR's first major integration partner. Aave's adoption of SVR on Ethereum has already recaptured $16.7 million or more in non-toxic liquidation MEV, according to Chainlink's Q1 2026 quarterly review. When a protocol integrates Chainlink SVR Feeds, the recaptured oracle-related MEV is split between the integrating DeFi protocol and the Chainlink Network, providing DeFi protocols with an additional revenue stream while supporting the economic sustainability of Chainlink oracles.
The improved auction infrastructure also strengthens network resilience. SVR operates through a dual aggregator architecture with a built-in fallback: if the private route fails or times out, the SVR feed automatically reverts to the standard feed price after a configurable delay, helping ensure price data remains accessible through the public route.
Beyond Ethereum, Atlas order flow technology has been integrated into Chainlink SVR, and SVR is now live on Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and HyperEVM, with additional chains expected over time. All-time cumulative SVR value recaptured reached $18.3 million, with $8.3 million recaptured in Q1 2026 alone, and Chainlink SVR reached 99% of the total market share for oracle-related MEV capture.
The Ethereum mainnet multiplexing upgrade reinforces Chainlink's push to make SVR the default MEV recapture layer across decentralized finance, generating sustainable revenue for protocols while improving the efficiency of the underlying oracle infrastructure.

Aave Integrates Chainlink SVR on Ethereum Mainnet (PR Newswire)

SpaceX has revealed a substantial Bitcoin position in its public S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosing that it held 18,712 $BTC as of March 31, 2026, with a fair value of approximately $1.293 billion at quarter end.
The filing shows the company acquired its holdings at an average cost basis of around $35,300 per coin, against a total cost basis of $661 million, leaving SpaceX with a sizeable paper gain at current prices.
A Major Corporate Bitcoin Holder
The holding places SpaceX among a small group of major corporations with significant Bitcoin on their balance sheets. For context, Elon Musk's other company, Tesla, holds 11,509 Bitcoin, while Michael Saylor's Strategy currently holds the largest corporate position at 843,738 Bitcoin. A stack above 18,000 coins would rank SpaceX seventh among tracked corporate treasuries, putting the company ahead of Coinbase ($COIN).
Under the FASB's ASU 2023-08 fair-value accounting standard, which took effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, listed companies must now mark Bitcoin holdings to market every quarter and route the result through the income statement. That means SpaceX's Bitcoin position will introduce quarterly earnings volatility once the company goes public.
IPO Sets the Stage for One of History's Largest Listings
SpaceX has filed its S-1 with the SEC, confirming plans for an initial public offering expected next month that could be the largest in history. The company plans to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker "SPCX". SpaceX is seeking to raise as much as $75 billion in the IPO and is targeting a valuation of around $1.75 trillion, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley serving as lead underwriters.
The filing also shows SpaceX generated $4.69 billion in first-quarter revenue and recorded a $4.28 billion net loss. Revenue from launch services, Starlink and other business lines remains large, but spending tied to artificial intelligence, infrastructure, research and Starship development continues to weigh on earnings.
The Bitcoin disclosure adds a digital asset dimension to what is already one of the most closely watched public listings in years, and underscores a broader shift in how major non-crypto companies are treating Bitcoin as a balance-sheet asset.

Privacy-Coins sind der herausragende Sektor in der Sitzung am Mittwoch. Zcash ($ZEC) wechselt gerade für $669,83 den Besitzer, ein Plus von 16,87% am Tag und 26,72% in der letzten Woche. $DASH liegt mit $49,08 nicht weit zurück, ein Gewinn von 15,24% in 24 Stunden.
Zcash Foundation Q1 Bericht belebt SEC-Narrativ
Der unmittelbare Katalysator für $ZEC ist die neueste vierteljährliche Offenlegung der @Zcash Foundation. Die Stiftung startete das Q2 mit einem erheblichen regulatorischen Druck, der entfernt wurde, nachdem die U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ihre Untersuchung ohne Empfehlung von Durchsetzungsmaßnahmen abgeschlossen hat. Die Anfrage begann mit einer Vorladung im August 2023 und endete ohne Empfehlung zur Durchsetzung gegen die Stiftung. Beamte der Stiftung sagten, dass die gemeinnützige Organisation während des gesamten Prozesses voll kooperierte und keine Strafen, Geldstrafen oder erforderlichen Änderungen mit dem Ergebnis verbunden waren.

Consortium Grows to 37 Banks Across 15 Countries
Amsterdam-based Qivalis has added 25 new member institutions in a single announcement, more than tripling its membership to 37 financial institutions spanning 15 European countries. The new entrants include ABN AMRO, Rabobank, Banco Sabadell, Bankinter, Bank of Ireland, Handelsbanken, Nordea, Intesa Sanpaolo, Erste Group, and Swedbank. They join earlier consortium members including ING, BNP Paribas, BBVA, CaixaBank, Danske Bank, DekaBank, DZ BANK, KBC, Raiffeisen Bank International, SEB, and UniCredit.
The group plans to debut its euro-backed stablecoin in the second half of 2026 under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. It is also seeking an electronic money institution (EMI) license from the Dutch central bank. Qivalis plans to issue a stablecoin backed 1:1 by euros and high-quality liquid assets held by regulated custodians. At least 40% of reserves will be held in bank deposits, with the remainder in high-quality euro-area government bonds, so holders can always redeem at par.
"We are investing in this consortium because we believe Europe needs trusted, regulated innovation in payments and settlement," said Geraldine Casey, Managing Director of Retail Banking at AIB. Qivalis CEO Jan-Oliver Sell described the expansion as "a giant leap toward an open and compliant on-chain ecosystem for the euro." Howard Davies, chairman of Qivalis' supervisory board, added: "This infrastructure is essential if Europe is to compete in the global digital economy whilst preserving its strategic autonomy."
Taking On Dollar Dominance
As of April 2026, the global stablecoin market is valued at roughly $320 billion, with an overwhelming 99% of that supply tied to US dollars. Circle has a euro-pegged coin, but its market capitalisation is $450 million, compared to $77 billion for the company's dollar-pegged token. ECB President Christine Lagarde said earlier this month that rising use of dollar stablecoins in Europe posed a "legitimate concern that risks entrenching dollar dependency." French Finance Minister Roland Lescure also called on European banks to develop more euro-based stablecoins to reduce the region's reliance on non-EU payment providers.
Qivalis CEO Jan-Oliver Sell clarified that the project is not "competing with payments in Europe because payments in Europe work," but seeks to enhance cross-border payments and atomic or instant settlements. The addition of 25 new banks makes Qivalis Europe's largest stablecoin project, and the long-term opportunity is significant. S&P Global Ratings projected that the euro stablecoin market could grow from roughly 770 million euros ($895 million) today to as much as 1.1 trillion euros by 2030, driven largely by tokenized finance and institutional adoption.

Plume Network sichert sich die regulatorische Genehmigung von Bermuda für Onchain-Vaults
@plumenetwork gab am Mittwoch bekannt, dass ihre Tochtergesellschaft in Bermuda, Kimber Digital Assets Bermuda (KDAB), eine Class M Digital Asset Business License von der @BermudaMonetary (BMA) gemäß dem Digital Asset Business Act 2018 erhalten hat. Die Ankündigung ist ein konkreter Schritt, um traditionelle Finanzaufsicht in die dezentrale Vault-Infrastruktur zu bringen.
KDAB wird der erste regulierte Onchain-Vault-Manager sein, der die Transparenz und Zugänglichkeit der dezentralen Finanzen mit der aufsichtsrechtlichen Kontrolle durch einen weltweit respektierten Finanzregulator kombiniert. Im Rahmen dieser Struktur können Benutzer Vermögenswerte einzahlen, proportionale Vault-Token erhalten, Renditen verdienen und zum Nettovermögenswert einlösen, wobei alle Aktivitäten durch unveränderliche Smart Contracts unter der Aufsicht der BMA geregelt werden.

Trotz der klaren öffentlichen Haltung der Trump-Administration gegen eine digitale Zentralbankwährung sagt ein ehemaliger hochrangiger US-Finanzregulator, dass im Hintergrund leise die Grundlagen gelegt werden.
Timothy Massad, der von 2014 bis 2017 die Commodity Futures Trading Commission leitete, sagte beim Digital Money Summit 2026 in London, dass US-Behörden aktiv die Infrastruktur im Stil von CBDCs studieren, während Washington eine feindliche öffentliche Position zu diesem Thema beibehält. In einem Gespräch mit CoinDesk am Rande der Veranstaltung erklärte Massad, dass eine US-CBDC oder ein staatlich unterstützter Dollar-Stablecoin letztendlich "unvermeidlich" sei, angesichts der globalen Marktdynamik.

@BankofAmerica hat Positionen in neun Spot-Krypto-ETFs in seinem Q1 2026 Form 13F Bericht bei der U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission offengelegt, die eine Exposure zu $BTC, $ETH, $XRP und $SOL abdecken. Der Bericht markiert einen bemerkenswerten Schritt für einen der größten traditionellen Kreditgeber des Landes in regulierte digitale Vermögensprodukte.
Was der Bericht offenbart
Die Bank of America hat in ihrem neuesten Form 13F Bericht für Q1 2026 Positionen in mehreren Krypto-ETFs offengelegt, mit Gesamtbeständen in Produkten, die mit Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP und Solana verknüpft sind, die nahezu $53 Millionen betragen. Die größte Einzelposition befindet sich im iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) von BlackRock, der $37 Millionen wert ist, wobei die Bank 972.590 IBIT-Anteile hält, ein Anstieg von zuvor 719.008.

Ripples hauseigenes Token $XRP hat sich seit Monaten kaum bewegt. Mit einem Handelspreis von etwa 1,37 $ ist das Asset seit mehr als 100 Tagen in einer engen Spanne gefangen und ist im vergangenen Jahr um etwa 41 % gefallen. Für die meisten Beobachter sieht das nach Stagnation aus. Für langfristige Halter sieht es vertraut aus.
Ein Squeeze, der schon einmal hier war
Die täglichen Bollinger-Bänder auf $XRP haben sich in eine der ausgeprägtesten Kompressionen eingeengt, die das Asset je aufgezeichnet hat. Der Bollinger-Bänder-Indikator besteht aus einem einfachen gleitenden Durchschnitt, flankiert von zwei Standardabweichungsbändern. Analysten interpretieren eine ausgeprägte Verengung oder Squeeze dieser Bänder als Signal für niedrige Volatilität und eine Konsolidierungsphase. Historisch gesehen baut diese Kompression Energie auf, die häufig in eine starke Preisbewegung ausbricht.

Eine formelle Überprüfung beginnt, während die Frist naht
Die @EU_Commission hat eine öffentliche Konsultation zur Überprüfung ihrer wegweisenden Verordnung über Märkte für Krypto-Assets (MiCA) gestartet, wodurch ein formeller Kanal für Teilnehmer der Branche, Regulierungsbehörden und die Öffentlichkeit eröffnet wird, um zu flaggen, was funktioniert und was geändert werden muss. Laut der eigenen Seite für digitale Finanzen der Kommission sind jetzt zwei separate Konsultationen, eine öffentliche und eine gezielte, geöffnet, wobei die Einreichungen am 31. August 2026 enden.
Das Timing ist absichtlich. Die Überprüfung erfolgt, da MiCA sich einem wichtigen Übergangsdatum im Juli 2026 nähert, nach dem CASPs vollständig unter dem EU-Rahmen autorisiert sein müssen oder den Betrieb einstellen müssen. Den Mitgliedstaaten wurde die Möglichkeit gegeben, Übergangsmaßnahmen zu implementieren, die es bereits nach nationalem Recht tätigen Entitäten im Bereich Krypto-Asset-Dienste erlauben, bis zum 1. Juli 2026 weiterzumachen, oder bis ihnen eine MiCA-Autorisierung erteilt oder verweigert wird. Bis Mai haben nur 194 CASPs eine Autorisierung erhalten, wobei ungefähr 75 % der vor MiCA registrierten Firmen voraussichtlich ihren Status verlieren werden, wenn dieses Zeitfenster schließt.

@MoneyGram tritt in eine strukturelle Rolle in einem der am genauesten beobachteten Blockchain-Netzwerke im Zahlungsverkehr ein. Das 85 Jahre alte Geldtransferunternehmen wurde als Anchor Remittance Validator auf @tempo benannt, der Layer 1 Blockchain, die gemeinsam von Stripe und Paradigm entwickelt wurde und speziell für die Abwicklung von Stablecoins gebaut wurde.
Eine funktionierende Abwicklungsschicht zwischen zwei Zahlungsriesen
Die Validator-Rolle ist an sich schon bedeutend: MoneyGram wird Überweisungen auf der Layer 1 Blockchain validieren und die Abwicklung von Stablecoins integrieren, auch mit Stripe, für seine globalen Flüsse. Aber das entscheidendere Detail findet sich weiter unten in der Ankündigung. Stripe wird Zahlungen direkt an MoneyGram über Tempоs Onchain-Infrastruktur abwickeln, was Tempo zu einer aktiven Abwicklungsschicht macht, die zwei der größten Zahlungsanbieter der Welt verbindet.

@inter_link Wallet (@Itlx_defi) has officially activated permissionless perpetual listings on its ITLX exchange, opening a limited window for builders to deploy up to five custom markets through June 7.
The move extends the platform's ambitions beyond standard crypto pairs. Supported assets include $GBP, $AMD, and physical commodities such as copper, giving traders on-chain access to a broader set of global markets without relying on a centralised gatekeeper.
How the Builder Model Works
Each community-listed market operates through builder-owned liquidity pools alongside a dedicated, market-specific insurance fund. Insurance funds in perpetual DEX infrastructure are pools used to compensate for liquidation losses when users are affected by market volatility. By keeping these funds ring-fenced per market, Interlink limits the risk of one pool's losses bleeding into others.
All community-listed assets use isolated margin, a design choice that directly addresses contagion risk. Isolated margin limits the risk to funds allocated to a specific position, preventing losses in one market from affecting capital held elsewhere. This stands in contrast to cross-margin models, where a single stressed position can threaten an entire account.
Liquidity Threshold Before Going Live
Before any newly listed market can move beyond post-only mode, it must sustain a $50,000 order book depth. The requirement acts as a quality filter, ensuring that markets attract genuine liquidity before becoming fully active for price-taking orders.
ITLX is a fully decentralised perpetual exchange optimised for capital efficiency, deep liquidity, and omnichain access. It is designed to rival centralised platforms in speed and performance, empowering traders to execute high-leverage strategies across multiple chains with stable, USDC-based settlements. The permissionless listing feature builds on that foundation by putting market creation directly in the hands of developers rather than a central committee.
The approach mirrors a broader trend in on-chain derivatives. Centralised exchanges often struggle to detect demand for new assets, whereas in a permissionless perp model, builders deploy markets and the market itself finds equilibrium rather than having it dictated from above. Interlink's implementation adds guardrails, specifically the insurance fund structure and the liquidity threshold, to keep that openness from becoming a liability.
Expansion into forex, commodities, and index perpetuals broadens the addressable market for decentralised derivatives, attracting traders interested in traditional assets who prefer the self-custody and permissionless access that perpetual DEX platforms provide.
The builder window runs until June 7, after which the terms for new deployments may change.

Senator @SenLummis is not backing down. The Wyoming Republican has reaffirmed her commitment to passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, warning that every day without a federal framework pushes more crypto companies out of the United States and into the hands of foreign competitors.
Offshore Migration Is the Pressure Point
Lummis has been direct about the stakes. In her own words: "Every single day, digital asset companies are moving offshore because Congress hasn't done its job. My bill, the Clarity Act, fixes that. I will continue to fight to ensure America leads the way in digital asset regulation."
The concern is not hypothetical. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has framed the issue as a national security matter, warning that without US regulatory certainty, blockchain developers and crypto companies continue to migrate to Singapore and Abu Dhabi.
The bill targets assets including $BTC and $ETH, seeking to end years of legal ambiguity over whether digital assets are securities or commodities. At its core, the legislation would draw a regulatory boundary between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, settling years of jurisdictional litigation over whether digital assets are securities or commodities. Under the bill, the CFTC would receive exclusive jurisdiction over spot and cash markets for digital commodities, while the SEC retains authority over investment contract assets.
A Critical Legislative Window
The bill cleared a significant hurdle earlier this month. Senator Lummis celebrated the bipartisan passage of the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act of 2025 out of the Senate Banking Committee by a 15 to 9 vote. Lummis said the passage "sends an unmistakable signal that the United States is not ceding the future of digital finance to anyone."
But the path to a full Senate vote remains narrow. Committee Chairman Tim Scott had originally targeted September 2025 for a Senate floor vote, and Senators Lummis and Bernie Moreno have both warned that failure to advance the bill before the Memorial Day recess could push the next viable legislative window to 2030 or beyond.
Lummis has called the bill the "hardest piece of legislation" she has ever worked on, adding that it is crucial for America's crypto leadership. Opposition remains, with some Democratic senators pushing for stronger ethics provisions and consumer protections before they will commit their votes. During committee proceedings, both Republicans and Democrats committed to continuing work through areas of disagreement, including how best to catch bad actors using digital assets and how to handle ethics questions around elected officials profiting from crypto.
For Lummis, though, the cost of further delay is clear. Without a framework, she argues, American innovation does not pause. It simply relocates.

THYP Volume Picks Up Steam After Nasdaq Debut
The @21shares_us Hyperliquid ETF, trading under the ticker $THYP, is gaining momentum on Nasdaq as daily trading volumes climb 8x from their levels at launch. According to @EricBalchunas, the fund is now processing tens of millions of dollars in daily volume, with organic investor interest accelerating in the weeks since it first listed.
21Shares launched two exchange-traded products on Nasdaq on May 13, 2026, the first U.S.-listed funds to track Hyperliquid's HYPE token. The 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF ($THYP) offers spot exposure with integrated staking rewards, while the 21Shares 2x Long HYPE ETF (TXXH) offers leveraged exposure. Day-one trading saw approximately $1.8 million in volume and $1.2 million in net inflows, with a 0.30% management fee that 21Shares said was the lowest for any Hyperliquid ETF at launch. Since then, volume has expanded significantly, and $THYP's price has appreciated roughly 20% from its initial listing level, signaling strong institutional appetite for Hyperliquid exposure.
The 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF is designed to track the price of HYPE, a decentralized crypto asset that operates entirely on its own blockchain, Hyperliquid. THYP is structured as a 33-Act spot exchange-traded product, tracking the FTSE Hyperliquid Index. The trust can stake between 30% and 70% of its HYPE holdings through Figment, with staking rewards split roughly 70% to the trust and 30% to the provider, with the first distribution scheduled for June 30.
$HYPE Rally Adds Context to ETF Demand
The ETF activity is running alongside a broader $HYPE price rally. With a price increase of 20.90% in the last 7 days, Hyperliquid ($HYPE) is outperforming the global cryptocurrency market, which is down 4.70% over the same period. The token has been pushing toward and past the $50 level, having climbed sharply from its year-to-date low of $20.
The 21Shares and Bitwise HYPE ETFs have seen strong early inflows signaling institutional demand, though two major market makers withdrew roughly $100 million in liquidity after CME and ICE urged stricter regulatory oversight of Hyperliquid.
Hyperliquid itself processes roughly $8 billion in daily trading volume, commands more than 50% of DEX perpetual open interest, and has handled over $4 trillion in cumulative volume since launch. Trading fees generate roughly $56 million per month, with more than 95% funneled to daily open-market HYPE buybacks. That fundamental backdrop appears to be a key driver behind the institutional interest now flowing into products like $THYP.
21Shares is bringing its Hyperliquid thesis into the U.S. market at a time when crypto ETF competition keeps widening beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The growing volume in $THYP suggests that push is beginning to find traction.

Bee Network öffnet 100.000 KYC-Slots und zielt auf 1 Million bis Jahresende
@Beenetworkintl hat sein versprochenes "süßes Überraschung" wahr gemacht, indem es 100.000 KYC-Verifizierungsslots für die $BEE-Community freigegeben hat. Das Projekt hat auch Pläne angekündigt, diese Zahl bis Ende 2026 auf 1.000.000 verifizierte Nutzer zu erhöhen, ein signifikanter Schritt nach vorne für eine Plattform, die historisch gesehen Identitätsprüfungen in vorsichtigen, begrenzten Wellen eingeführt hat.
Der Abschluss der KYC-Prüfung ist eine Voraussetzung für die zukünftige Verteilung von $BEE-Token. Die Verifizierung ist für Nutzer zwingend erforderlich, die ihre angesammelten Erträge abheben möchten, sobald das Mainnet offiziell gestartet ist. Die Erweiterung des Zugangs hat daher echtes Gewicht für die Millionen von Teilnehmern des Projekts, von denen viele seit Jahren $BEE-Coins in der App minen, ohne diese Salden in On-Chain-Assets umwandeln zu können.

On-Chain Data Flags Major BTC Outflow
@BlackRock has moved 10,086 $BTC out of its primary custody layer over a 48-hour window, according to on-chain data tracked by Arkham Intel. The transfer amounts to roughly $782.7 million in assets and represents one of the most significant institutional sell-side events recorded so far in the 2026 cycle.
The movement was flagged through blockchain analytics, which allow market participants to monitor wallet activity tied to major institutional players in near real time. Arkham Intel tracks BlackRock-linked addresses as part of its broader coverage of spot Bitcoin ETF custodial flows.
Broader Institutional Pressure Builds
The outflow does not occur in isolation. Recent data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs have been under sustained redemption pressure. On May 18, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $648.64 million, one of the steepest single-day declines of the year, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for $448.36 million of that figure, according to Bitcoin.com News.
It is worth noting that outflows from IBIT do not necessarily reflect discretionary selling by BlackRock itself. As Arkham's own research guide explains, the Bitcoin held through IBIT is custody held on behalf of fund investors, and on-chain movements typically reflect ETF redemption settlements rather than proprietary trades by the asset manager. When investors redeem shares, the underlying $BTC is routed to an exchange such as Coinbase Prime for settlement, which registers as an outflow on-chain.
That context matters for interpreting the scale of the move. What the data does confirm is that client-driven redemption pressure on BlackRock's Bitcoin products has been substantial. Earlier in May, IBIT's holdings had climbed to roughly 823,000 $BTC before accelerating outflows trimmed that figure, with the fund depositing approximately 5,847 $BTC worth around $449 million into Coinbase Prime in a single 24-hour period, according to CryptoNews citing Arkham and Finbold data.
Bitcoin's price has tracked the outflow trend closely, slipping roughly 5% over the past week and trading near $76,570 at the time of that report. With institutional flows remaining a key driver of near-term price action, further movements out of IBIT-linked wallets are likely to draw close attention from traders and analysts alike.
