Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) noted that the Market Vector Digital Assets 100 Index (MVDA) has ceased outperforming the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) since the launch of Bitcoin futures in 2017. Although MVDA volatility is approximately three times that of the NDX, performance has remained flat over the past decade, and its positive correlation with the NDX fails to provide effective portfolio diversification benefits. McGlone stated that the approval of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs and the policy shift ahead of the 2024 Trump election may already mark a local peak for the crypto market, with a low probability of further upside. Approximately two-thirds of the MVDA's constituents consist of Bitcoin.

According to on-chain analyst Wazz (@WazzCrypto), an organized serial rug pull and fund-draining syndicate operates on the Robinhood blockchain. The group has been linked to 53 token launches in the past two months, with directly trackable extracted funds reaching $18.43 million, though the actual amount is likely higher. The syndicate's modus operandi is highly systematic: funds raised from each launch are routed to the deployment wallet of the next launch within seconds, forming a continuous funding pipeline. Each issuance is sniped via 70–200 bundled wallets to secure over 70% of the supply, primarily launched on the Pons V2 platform. Additionally, the group generates hype through "fake launches" before official drops to preemptively harvest market sentiment, only revealing the real contract address afterward to maximize extraction profits. Notably, $DEED, the trigger token for this investigation, did not even make it into the top ten highest-drained tokens.

Odaily reports: The U.S. Senate failed to pass a key procedural vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, leaving the bill's future uncertain. The bill aims to clarify the division of regulatory authority over the crypto market between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).The two parties failed to reach agreement on ethics provisions that would restrict the crypto business ties of the President and senior government officials. Disagreements over stablecoin yield, decentralized finance risks, and the bill's text, combined with the approaching midterm elections, are all affecting the bill's advancement. (CoinDesk)

According to a blog post by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum is transitioning from a traditional blockchain architecture to a "cryptographic world computer." The article notes that fundamental changes have occurred at core levels such as verification mechanisms, consensus algorithms, and block production—shifting from full-data download and re-execution to PeerDAS sampling coupled with SNARK verification, evolving consensus from PoW to a highly optimized PoS, and moving block production rights from a single miner to multi-party collaboration under the FOCIL mechanism. From a user experience standpoint, Ethereum by 2030 will achieve strong censorship resistance (ensuring real-time transaction on-chain inclusion), reduced costs for general-purpose computing, stronger privacy guarantees (leveraging ZK-SNARKs alongside private account abstraction), and lighter node operational requirements. The article emphasizes that decentralized networks are evolving from a "security burden" into a performance advantage, enabling parallel processing of data and computation. The planned Hegota upgrade will serve as Ethereum's final "routine" fork; thereafter, recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, and quantum-safe mechanisms will be fully implemented, and Ethereum's core narrative will completely pivot toward the realization of a cryptographic world computer.
Odaily report: DyorSwap has officially announced that the so-called "GIWA mainnet" previously identified by the team was actually a fake chain set up by scammers.

The official team deeply apologizes to every user affected by this incident and stated that further updates will be released as soon as possible.
