Odaily Odaily News: Curated Exchange was officially launched on May 29, 2026. The project was initiated by open-source developers and research scholars. Its underlying theory is based on the academic paper "Decentralized Market Formation" published on SSRN in May this year. The core proposition is to establish a more effective mechanism for discovering, screening, and selecting long-tail assets through a low-cost multi-exchange parallel structure.Any individual, community, or institution can deploy a dedicated vertical trading portal with zero barriers, screen assets, and earn fees. All Venues share the same underlying liquidity. Different from the centralized coin-listing decisions of CEXs and the non-screening mechanism of AMMs, DMF replaces capital access with cognitive access—Curators act as asset gatekeepers based on professional judgment rather than capital scale, ensuring that high-quality long-tail assets are systematically discovered through Curators with reputational constraints.Curated positions itself as a neutral infrastructure provider, avoiding commercial competition with ecosystem participants, and will fully open-source its code in the future. The testnet will be officially launched in June 2026.
According to TechFundingNews, stablecoin payments company NALA announced it has secured a $50 million credit facility from Liquidity through Mars Growth Capital, its joint venture with Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). The new capital will be used to develop its stablecoin payment infrastructure, with a focus on expanding cross-border payments in emerging markets—including Africa and Asia—by offering real-time stablecoin-based payments and collections, pre-funded accounts, and treasury management services. Earlier, in July 2024, NALA closed a $40 million Series A round led by investors including Acrew Capital, DST Global, Norrsken22, HOF Capital, and Amplo, as well as angel investors Vlad Tenev, co-founder of Robinhood, and Ryan King, co-founder of Chime.
blockchain infrastructure platform and stablecoin issuer Paxos has announced that its subsidiary, Paxos Securities Settlement Company, has obtained registration as a clearing agency with the U.S. SEC, allowing it to provide clearing and settlement services as a central securities depository in the United States. In October 2019, the SEC issued a no-action letter to Paxos, permitting a pilot for blockchain-based U.S. stock settlement services, which went live in February 2020. Paxos stated that the pilot achieved same-day settlement, reduced costs, and improved operational efficiency within a regulated framework. Stablecoins and digital assets issued by Paxos include PayPal USD, Global Dollar, and Pax Gold. The SEC issued a Wells Notice to Paxos in 2023 regarding the issuance of Binance USD and concluded its investigation in 2024. Additionally, Paxos reached a $48.5 million settlement with the NYDFS in August 2025 concerning compliance issues related to Binance and BUSD. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily Odaily Nasdaq-listed Amber International Holding Limited (NASDAQ: AMBR) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and officially launched A-MM (Agentic Market Making), an agent-based market making infrastructure platform. Serving as the first flagship component of the A-Suite agent-native operating system, this move further advances the company's evolution from a crypto financial distribution platform to a next-generation operating infrastructure provider for the AI agent economy.Amber stated that A-MM is purpose-built for token projects, integrating agent-orchestrated workflows, liquidity operations, execution infrastructure, and real-time risk transparency capabilities to enhance market making efficiency, transparency, and scalability. The company expects A-MM to begin contributing revenue from the second quarter of 2026, becoming one of its future growth engines.Despite the persistently weak crypto market environment in the first quarter, Amber Premium's core institutional and high-net-worth client base demonstrated strong resilience. The company achieved a gross margin of 67.7% in Q1, with platform client assets remaining at approximately $1 billion and average assets per active client holding steady at around $1.2 million.Michael Wu, Executive Director and CEO of Amber International, stated: "The launch of A-MM signifies Amber's transition from the distribution layer to the agent-native operating infrastructure layer. We believe that crypto finance will become an important financial infrastructure for the AI agent economy, and Amber is building the operating system to support this new economic paradigm."The company also formally introduced its "Crypto for AI (C4AI)" vision and plans to host its inaugural C4AI Investor Day in October 2026, providing a comprehensive showcase of the Amber Agents architecture, the A-Suite development roadmap, and the core operational capabilities of agent-native financial services.
TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1. This vault will support assets including USD1, USDC, cbBTC, and MON, offering higher yields than conventional lending through trading-based yield generation. This marks TownSquare’s first collaboration with a trading-based yield manager. The partnership aims to bring real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin institutional yields to a broader user base. Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the "The Interfold" project in a post, stating that more people should learn about Interfold. It is a general implementation version of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept he has repeatedly called for over the past decade. Essentially, this project is a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement.Vitalik also stated that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP eligibility proofs, performing arbitrary computations within Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) followed by threshold decryption. This enables unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ensures correctness through ZK over FHE, among other strong security guarantees. The main limitation at present is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication operations); only additive vote counting is mature. Optimizations based on slashing are being advanced, with a long-term goal of implementing obfuscation techniques to eliminate reliance on M-of-N committees.
According to the “15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal,” issued by the State Council on May 22, 2026, the State Council explicitly proposed promoting the application of blockchain technology in areas such as housing transactions and property rights registration to enhance the intelligence and refinement of urban governance. The plan simultaneously calls for the development of a foundational City Information Modeling (CIM) platform—creating an integrated, unified, data-fused, and highly collaborative digital foundation for cities. It aims to improve the CIM foundational database and standards system; implement coding for buildings and municipal infrastructure; establish a national foundational information database for buildings and municipal infrastructure; and strengthen the three-tiered urban operations management service platform system—covering national, provincial, and municipal levels—to advance “unified network-based management” of urban operations.
According to Reuters, people familiar with the matter said ByteDance is developing its own CPU to meet its rapidly growing AI infrastructure needs. Soaring chip prices and persistent long-term supply shortages are currently constraining the company’s expansion plans. This move highlights the industry’s accelerating shift toward the “inference” phase—a stage that significantly increases demand for CPUs and has triggered CPU shortages in recent months. The sources said ByteDance plans to deploy its in-house CPUs in its own servers and data centers to support internal operations and prepare for the large-scale rollout of agent-based products—including its Coze platform. ByteDance is currently pursuing two CPU architecture paths in parallel: one based on the Arm architecture and another based on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture, to evaluate which design better suits its long-term data center requirements. ByteDance currently procures CPUs from Intel and AMD—both of which have raised prices substantially over the past few months, with quarterly-on-quarter increases ranging from 10% to 35%. This has prompted ByteDance to accelerate the development of its internal alternative solutions.
: Streamex, a tokenized commodity platform, has partnered with Orca, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, to launch a tokenized asset trading market on Solana. This market allows verified qualified investors to buy and sell Streamex's yield-bearing, gold-backed GLDY tokens through regulated on-chain trading pools. The system integrates identity and compliance checks into Streamex's KYC and qualified investor verification process, with trading access limited to approved investors. Transactions are conducted through permissioned liquidity pools on Orca. Investor wallets remain frozen until identity verification and certification are completed, and qualification data is updated on-chain in real time. Streamex and Orca stated that neither party will act as a broker or intermediary for investors reselling GLDY tokens. Orca noted that its automated market maker infrastructure has processed over $500 billion in cumulative trading volume since its launch.
Wall Street investment bank Jefferies stated that as institutional investors accelerate their shift towards blockchain-based financial infrastructure, the crypto and blockchain sectors could see a new wave of IPOs over the next two years, forming a public market worth $1 trillion within five years.Jefferies released a report indicating that the current industry focus is shifting from speculative crypto asset prices to the comprehensive integration of blockchain infrastructure by banks, exchanges, asset managers, and payment institutions. Companies like Payward (parent company of Kraken) and Securitize are advancing their IPO plans, and it is expected that more crypto-related companies will enter the public market in the future. Tokenization is seen as a key driver of this structural transformation, with money market funds, private credit, and on-chain settlement systems already entering practical implementation phases. Increasing regulatory clarity will further accelerate institutional adoption.Currently, the market is moving from short-term hype to long-term technological reassessment. Crypto IPOs could serve as a crucial gateway connecting traditional capital markets with the on-chain economy. (CoinDesk)
during a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing, substantial progress was achieved in advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). The bill passed with a 15-9 vote, moving to the full Senate for consideration.Several bipartisan lawmakers emphasized during the discussions that the United States urgently needs to establish a unified regulatory framework for digital assets, clarifying asset classification, trading platform oversight, and market structure rules to provide long-term certainty for the industry. Angela Alsobrooks pointed out from a family perspective that younger generations show a natural interest in digital assets, and the regulatory system should strike a balance between "opportunity and protection" to prevent technological development from escaping regulatory oversight. Tim Scott stressed the need to advance legislation from the standpoint of economic opportunity and the American Dream, while Cynthia Lummis noted that the legislative process has already demonstrated a clear foundation for bipartisan cooperation.Supporters argue that digital assets have become an irreversible trend, with approximately 68 million Americans currently holding related assets. However, a significant volume of transactions still occur on overseas platforms, underscoring the urgent need for the U.S. to establish a domestic regulatory framework to enhance market transparency and investor protection. Analysts point out that the CLARITY Act is seen as a crucial complement following stablecoin-related legislation (the GENIUS Act). Without supporting rules at the market structure level, the U.S. risks losing its dominant position in the competition for digital financial infrastructure.As the bill advances to the full Senate, observers are closely watching whether it can complete final legislation based on bipartisan consensus, thereby establishing the core rules of the U.S. digital asset regulatory framework.

According to CCTV News, the State Council Information Office held a press conference under its “Getting Off to a Strong Start: The 15th Five-Year Plan” series of thematic events, introducing progress in advancing law-based governance across the board. At the press conference, Liu Guixiang, a full-time Vice-Ministerial-level Member of the Judicial Committee of the Supreme People’s Court and a Class-II Grand Justice, stated that courts will conduct in-depth research into adjudication rules for novel case types—including those involving virtual currencies and cross-border finance—and expedite the formulation of judicial interpretations on civil compensation for insider trading and market manipulation, thereby safeguarding the stable operation of capital markets and effectively protecting the lawful rights and interests of small and medium-sized investors. In response to emerging business models in the digital economy, courts will develop normative documents on judicial protection for cases involving artificial intelligence and data property rights. They will also refine adjudication rules concerning data ownership, data transactions, and AI-generated content, promoting deep integration of digital technologies with the real economy, supporting the improvement of foundational institutional frameworks for data as a production factor, and facilitating the development of an integrated data market characterized by openness, sharing, and security.
XRP Ledger developers have submitted a draft amendment titled "AMM Swappable Curves," planning to introduce three types of switchable curves for XRPL's native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to follow.This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose a more suitable pricing curve based on asset type, thereby improving capital efficiency. Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is better suited for assets with near 1:1 exchange rates, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and do not require migration.This proposal is seen as a crucial step for XRPL to bridge its DeFi infrastructure gap. Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including the recent tokenized U.S. Treasury redemption pilot conducted by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, for these assets to be traded, lent, or generate yields more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed.However, the proposal is still in the draft stage. It will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which could take several months, and its eventual approval remains uncertain. (Coindesk)

According to an official announcement from Optimism, the OP mainnet today initiates its first-ever adjustment to transaction ordering rules. For several years prior, the sequencer employed only a “highest-priority gas fee first” mechanism; it now introduces a new staking-based priority ordering option. This four-week experiment (concluding on June 23) was approved earlier this month by the Optimism Governance body and is optional for users. To participate, users must stake at least 100,000 OP tokens in the PolicyEngineStaking contract. The experiment proceeds in two phases: - Phase 1 (Week 1): Transactions are ordered using a FIFO (first-in, first-out) rule; staking amounts exceeding the minimum threshold do not affect priority. - Phase 2 (Weeks 2–4): A priority gas multiplier mechanism is introduced, weighted by staking duration—longer staking periods yield higher priority. For users not participating in the experiment, transaction ordering remains unchanged, and the PGA mechanism continues operating as usual.
