According to official announcements, Ondo's tokenized U.S. Treasury yield note USDY (U.S. Dollar Yield Token) has now officially launched on BNB Chain, supporting instant minting/redemption and cross-chain bridging functionality. As a leading permissionless tokenized U.S. Treasury product, USDY's launch on BNB Chain, one of the largest and most active public chain ecosystems globally, marks the first time institutional-grade yield assets are accessible directly without permission. This launch is a significant step in USDY's multi-chain expansion, bringing yield-bearing USD asset exposure to millions of users and AI agents within BNB Chain's deep DeFi ecosystem, and achieving a dual improvement in capital efficiency and transaction speed through instant minting and redemption mechanisms. Users no longer need to bridge from other chains to directly hold yield assets backed by U.S. Treasuries within the BNB Chain native environment; for developers, USDY can also serve as high-quality collateral in on-chain lending, trading, and liquidity protocols, seamlessly integrating with BNB Chain native applications.

BNB Chain: Former Employee Used Original Test Wallet Without Authorization to Deploy Meme Tokens, Legal Proceedings Initiated
Odaily News: BNB Chain posted on the X platform stating that a certain wallet address was previously created by a former employee and used to generate tokens in a video tutorial. This individual is no longer employed by the company due to this incident. After leaving the company, they retained unauthorized access to the associated mnemonic phrase and used it to generate new private keys. BNB Chain has learned that the same address is being independently used for a new Meme token. BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the creation of this token, nor can it control the token or wallet address. Both are unrelated to and not endorsed by BNB Chain. BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant authorities on this matter.
Uniswap partners with decentralized lending protocol Morpho to launch yield product Earn, enabling users to directly deposit USDC, USDT, and ETH to earn on-chain yield while keeping assets non-custodial.
Odaily News: Crypto KOL Unipcs (also known as "Bonk Guy") stated that Crypto Twitter (CT) and on-chain traders are constantly rotating to chase the hot narratives of each newly launched public chain—essentially, they are continuously seeking new opportunities to lose money.Unipcs noted that two weeks ago, the market concentrated on hyping the Base ecosystem narrative due to Robinhood Chain's performance, but the trend ultimately did not last. Last week, the market began viewing Stable Chain as the next "Robinhood Chain" opportunity, and he had previously warned the community about the related risks.He stated that the highest market-cap Meme coin on Stable Chain has already dropped approximately 90%, and most Meme projects have not generated genuine market attention.Unipcs believes he is not opposed to Tether or Arc Chain—if they focus on their positioning as stablecoin infrastructure, they may still achieve growth. However, forcibly fitting every new chain into the Meme coin narrative is an unreasonable market behavior.He added that many participants do not understand Meme coin culture, which could lead to significant losses for investors' assets. For trading Meme coins, Unipcs recommends focusing on networks with existing ecosystem foundations, such as Robinhood Chain, Solana, and BNB Chain.
Odaily News Four.Meme has announced the launch of the Stock Meme feature. Projects launching tokens on Four.Meme can now choose bStocks US stock tokens as the trading liquidity pool.

Four.Meme will collaborate with bStocks to provide liquidity support for each bStocks pool on the platform. Additionally, select Stock Meme projects may be featured in the Binance Wallet US Stock Meme section.

Odaily News Trader 0xSun stated on social media that during Robinhood's earnings call, the only token appearing in a fleeting search bar was CASHCAT. Additionally, Robinhood CEO Vlad, when discussing the Robinhood Chain, mentioned that the chain will be built around RWA, adding that he also likes Meme coins.As a result, CASHCAT's market cap rebounded from approximately $30 million to nearly $50 million. 0xSun believes that an ideal trajectory for a public chain resembles the Base ecosystem in late 2024, initially driven by factors such as founder influence and team background, and later ignited by events like exchange listings. Currently, Robinhood possesses similar conditions, and tokens on its chain could benefit from expectations of potential exchange listings.Furthermore, 0xSun noted that the Meme coin PIPEDOG on the Robinhood chain saw its market cap quickly surge past $75 million within a few hours. The project team locked the liquidity pool and refunded 173 ETH to users affected by the initial contract. The project currently has deep liquidity, with the pool containing approximately $4.5 million in ETH at a market cap of around $30 million.Previously active HOODRAT also once approached zero due to the overall downturn of the Robinhood chain but recently received attention from Matt, the original artist of the Pepe comic, causing its market cap to rebound from a low of $500,000 to $5 million.Beyond Meme coins, 0xSun indicated that STONKBROKER is currently one of the better projects within the Robinhood ecosystem that combines NFT, RWA, and game mechanics, making it worthy of continued attention.
Odaily News This morning, U.S. internet brokerage Robinhood (HOOD) officially released its Q2 2026 earnings report.Following the earnings release, Robinhood CEO stated: "No financial company has ever reached a $1 trillion market cap before, but I believe it's achievable... The key lies in Agentic Finance and building excellent tools for these AI agents. We are preparing for that world. We will also leverage the early success of Robinhood Chain to enable people around the globe to trade all assets available on the U.S. markets. I am also incredibly excited about private markets... Combining all these factors, I see multiple paths for the company to achieve 10x growth. And we will go all out to explore every single one of them."Robinhood CFO Shiv Verma also stated: "We believe we can achieve 10x growth in our business over the next 10 years. Our competitors have tens of trillions of dollars in assets under management. There is no reason we can't do this. In fact, our newly expanded businesses have larger addressable markets than our core business."

Robinhood's Q2 crypto trading revenue decreased by 38% year-over-year to $100 million, offset partially by increased activity in options, stocks, and prediction markets.

Stablecoin infrastructure company Brale has launched the ION Protocol, an interoperability system that allows participating stablecoins to be transferred across blockchains by burning tokens on one chain and minting tokens on another. The ION Protocol has gone live on its testnet. The current stablecoin market features over 350 tokens with a total market capitalization exceeding $300 billion. Amidst this market growth, liquidity is becoming fragmented. According to Brale, unlike traditional blockchain bridges that rely on pre-funded liquidity pools, ION aims to reduce capital requirements and address the liquidity bottlenecks encountered when scaling custom stablecoins.
Approximately one month after its launch, Robinhood Chain has surpassed Solana in two metrics: Meme coin trading volume and the number of tokenized stock holders. On-chain data shows that Robinhood Launchpad's weekly trading volume reached $1.23 billion, surpassing Solana's core Meme coin platform PumpSwap's $1.22 billion for the first time; in terms of tokenized stock asset holders, Robinhood Chain leads with 330,000 users, followed closely by Solana with 281,000, while BNB Chain ranks third with 214,000. However, the lead in holder count has not translated into an advantage in asset scale—Robinhood Chain accounts for only about 1% of the over $2 billion tokenized stock market. Additionally, Meme coin hype cooled off towards the end of the month, with the chain's DEX daily trading volume falling from a peak of $900 million to around $500 million. To date, Robinhood Chain has generated cumulative revenue of approximately $3 million. On the stock front, institutional analysts from Bernstein, Goldman Sachs, and others maintain a bullish outlook on HOOD stock, with a target price of $122, representing approximately 31% upside potential from the current price of $92.7.

CME Group, the operator of the largest U.S. derivatives exchange, sued the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and its Chairman Mike Selig last month, opposing the regulator's approval for prediction market platform Kalshi and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase to launch crypto perpetual contracts. Non-US perpetual contracts achieved a trading volume of $60 trillion last year. CME argues that the CFTC misclassified the relevant products and improperly applied the law, claiming that futures should have an expiration date, whereas perpetual contracts allow traders to establish leveraged positions on the future price of an asset without an expiration limit. CME also contends that the products harm its longer-dated futures business and that the CFTC failed to adequately consider the impact. The dispute between the parties intensified during the early stages of the Iran conflict, when demand rose for 24-hour crude oil perpetual contracts on offshore DeFi exchanges like Hyperliquid, as well as for on-chain prediction market trading related to the crude oil market. CME subsequently applied to accelerate the launch of 24-hour West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures trading but was blocked by the CFTC. Kalshi, after launching its first related product last month, stated that its trading volume exceeded $1 billion in less than a week. The CFTC is currently advancing the U.S. perpetual contracts market through policy statements and case-by-case reviews, rather than through new rulemaking procedures.
South Korean trading company POSCO International and LG CNS are conducting a pilot program to deploy real-time trade receivables on the Injective blockchain, aiming to accelerate payment processes among its global subsidiaries. By placing receivables on a shared blockchain ledger, the two parties create a single, transferable record embedded with compliance rules, reducing reconciliation time between buyers, sellers, and banks. POSCO plans to advance this project into a live production environment after the pilot. The initiative involves blockchain applications such as trade finance, stablecoin-based funds transfer, and asset tokenization.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin's increasing momentum, ETF demand, and institutional adoption may indicate early signs of a new crypto bull run, driven by factors including tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial markets. Hougan pointed out that since July 1st, Bitcoin has risen by 9%, while the Nasdaq 100 has fallen by 6%. He noted that market sentiment and ETF flows have improved, but the market has not yet confirmed a bottom. Hougan believes the next crypto cycle will focus on the convergence of blockchain technology and traditional finance, encompassing stablecoins, tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and the expansion of institutional DeFi to a trillion-dollar scale. Hougan views Hyperliquid and Robinhood as two paths for on-chain finance. He stated that nearly half of Hyperliquid's trading volume comes from traditional assets such as crude oil, silver, and the S&P 500. Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1st to support tokenized stocks and DeFi services.
