European Central Bank Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said the best response to the risks posed by stablecoins is to ensure that public money remains the anchor of the financial system, pointing to the digital euro and tokenized central-bank money as the ECB's strategy. Speaking at a Bank of Korea conference in Seoul on Monday, Schnabel warned that while stablecoins offer significant benefits, they could also increase the risk of runs in times of stress, weaken the transmission of interest-rate decisions and cement the international dominance of the dollar.
The German official said "many of the advantages of stablecoins arise from the technology on which they are based rather than from the characteristics of the instrument itself," and questioned whether stablecoins would find their place in the financial system as money market funds did 50 years ago or whether tokenized deposits would prove more promising. Her remarks came a day after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said the spread of stablecoins could broaden the reach of US monetary policy and dismissed CBDCs as a "stupid thing."

Effective Trading Volume is calculated by combining the Early Bird Boost Multiplier and the Rising Trader Boost, if applicable. The final rankings will be determined by the total Effective Trading Volume accumulated during the promotion period. Rewards will be distributed in SLX tokens and must be claimed within 14 days of becoming available, before 2026-06-29 04:30:00 (UTC).

The Sui Foundation has released an analysis of three recent network outages on its mainnet, attributing them to two separate bugs introduced in the v1.72 software upgrade. According to ChainCatcher, the first outage lasted approximately six and a half hours, while the second and third occurred on Friday morning and afternoon, respectively. The initial two disruptions were caused by a flaw in the 'address balance' feature, which led to negative balances and validation node crashes when transactions were canceled due to insufficient funds. The foundation acknowledged that an emergency fix deployed on Thursday carried known risks of further outages, which materialized on Friday morning. The third outage was triggered by an undisclosed random state bug during the restart of validation nodes to install a patch. Sui assured that user funds were never at risk and stated that both bugs have been fixed. Additionally, a mechanism to forcibly terminate stalled epochs has been implemented. The foundation noted that AI agents with access to their production systems significantly expedited the diagnostic process.

Temporal has submitted a proposal, SIMD 547, on the Solana governance forum.

Cryptocurrency analyst botblastcap shared insights on X regarding Grayscale's application for the Hyperliquid ETF (HYPG). According to Odaily, botblastcap noted that the immediate impact of HYPG's launch on the HYPE price might not be as significant as the market expects. This is because a substantial amount of tokens have already been allocated through private transactions, including a previously disclosed seed capital investment of 2 million HYPE. As a result, the buying pressure on the spot market on the ETF's launch day may be lower than anticipated by many.
However, in the medium to long term, this development is seen as highly positive. It suggests deeper liquidity, increased institutional participation, and the potential for sustained incremental buying in the future.
Previously, it was reported that Grayscale had submitted the fourth revision of the Hyperliquid ETF application and plans to provide approximately 2 million HYPE as seed capital investment.

Binance Blog published a new article, highlighting the company's strategic investment in AI to enhance its global compliance program. This initiative comes in response to the evolving nature of financial crime, which is increasingly driven by AI technologies. Binance invests approximately $300 million annually into its compliance efforts, with compliance-related teams making up about 25% of its global workforce. The company employs over 24 AI initiatives and 100 AI models to support compliance and risk operations, underscoring the critical role of AI in modern compliance systems.
The article emphasizes that traditional compliance systems, which rely on static rules and manual reviews, are no longer sufficient to address the sophisticated threats posed by AI-driven financial crimes. Scams have become more personalized and scalable, with deepfakes, impersonation schemes, and synthetic identities emerging as significant threats. In 2025, impersonation tactics surged by 1,400% year-over-year, highlighting the need for compliance systems to evolve. Binance's response involves a deep investment in AI-powered systems designed to anticipate, adapt, and intervene at a scale that matches these threats.
Binance's compliance strategy focuses on building systems that enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness. AI acts as a force multiplier, assisting compliance professionals by triaging cases, identifying patterns across large datasets, and routing higher-risk activities to human reviewers more quickly. In risk operations, AI supports over 80% of anti-fraud and anti-scam decision-making workflows and assists in approximately 45% of human review processes. This approach allows Binance to detect subtle patterns and contextual risks that traditional systems might miss.
Identity verification is another area where AI plays a crucial role. Around 80% of attacks against Binance involve KYC-related fraud, with methods evolving rapidly. Binance continuously updates its Face Attack Detection and Liveness Detection systems to counter these threats. AI-supported KYC systems operate at a 100:1 efficiency scale compared to manual processes, allowing compliance teams to focus on verifying the legitimacy of account holders in real time.
The article also discusses Binance's efforts in recovery and post-incident response. In 2025, the company conducted over 36,000 voice calls to users at risk, combining AI detection with human outreach. Binance's recovery efforts helped recover or freeze approximately $114 million linked to external hacks in 2025, with an additional $60.2 million recovered or frozen in 2026. The platform also supports scam victims, recovering $17 million in scam-related proceeds and processing 1.28 million user appeals, resulting in the recovery of $8.2 billion in mistakenly sent cryptocurrencies.
As AI becomes more integrated into financial infrastructure, Binance emphasizes the importance of governance, oversight, and responsible deployment. In 2025, the company implemented a global AI strategy aligned with emerging frameworks like the EU AI Act and earned ISO 42001 certification for AI management. Binance's comprehensive security and compliance framework, supported by 25 international certifications, positions it as a leader in the industry. The article concludes by highlighting the transformative impact of AI on compliance, emphasizing the need for systems that can detect, adapt, and intervene in real time to prevent financial losses.
