Standard Chartered: Uniswap Token UNI Could Rise to $100 by 2030
Standard Chartered Bank has initiated coverage on the decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap, predicting its UNI token could rise from its current price of approximately $2.70 to $100 by the end of 2030, representing a gain of nearly 40 times.Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, stated that the next wave of wealth creation opportunities in the digital asset space may come from DeFi protocols. The core logic is that the scale of tokenized assets entering DeFi will grow significantly, thereby enhancing the trading asset base and fee potential for protocols like Uniswap.Standard Chartered estimates that tokenized assets on-chain will grow from approximately $340 billion today to $4 trillion by the end of 2028. Of this, the proportion flowing into DeFi is expected to rise from roughly 3.5% currently to 30% by the end of 2030. Combined with the growth of crypto-native assets, the total value locked in DeFi could reach approximately $2.7 trillion, an increase of about 37 times compared to today.Kendrick believes that if Uniswap can successfully commercialize and establish sufficient partnerships with traditional financial institutions, its valuation multiple relative to trading fees could improve, narrowing the gap with centralized exchanges like Coinbase.Standard Chartered's projected price path for UNI is: $6.50 by the end of 2026, $20 by the end of 2027, $40 by the end of 2028, $65 by the end of 2029, and $100 by the end of 2030. The bank also expects UNI to potentially outperform ETH and BTC during this period.

Benchmark: SEC NMS Reform May Be the Most Critical Crypto Regulatory Variable This Year
research firm Benchmark Equity Research has highlighted that the market structure reform proposal put forward by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 11 could be one of the most far-reaching regulatory actions for the U.S. crypto industry this year. The proposal aims to abolish Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, two core rules that have governed the routing and execution of U.S. stock trades since 2005, which are seen as having long constrained the development of tokenized stocks and on-chain trading.Rule 611 (Order Protection Rule) requires trading venues to avoid executing trades at prices inferior to "protected quotations" on other markets, thereby enforcing the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) system. Rule 610(e) prohibits locked and crossed markets, restricting quotation overlaps and price mismatches.Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer stated that if the rules are repealed, it would remove key legal barriers hindering DeFi trading models, such as automated market makers (AMMs), allowing them to operate without relying on traditional order routing systems. The regulatory changes would directly benefit infrastructure for tokenized stocks and crypto securities trading, with Securitize identified as the most immediate beneficiary. Additionally, Coinbase and Galaxy Digital could also benefit from the expansion of trading, custody, and market-making businesses.However, Benchmark also noted that even with looser rules, critical issues such as exchange registration, clearing and settlement, and custody frameworks remain unresolved. The market is still anticipating the SEC's potential introduction of an "innovation exemption" mechanism. The SEC has opened a 60-day public comment period, and Benchmark expects a final vote could take place in early 2027. (The Block)
Coinbase Advisory Board Warns of Bitcoin’s Quantum Risk: No Consensus Yet Within the Community—Quantum-Resistant Migration Preparations Should Begin Immediately
A cryptography expert advisory committee led by Coinbase released a report stating that Bitcoin should immediately begin preparing for potential quantum computing attacks. However, the committee did not take a clear stance on whether to freeze the millions of bitcoins potentially vulnerable to quantum-computing theft in the future. The committee includes several leading experts, such as Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation. They argue that the current debate is not about *how* to introduce quantum-resistant signature schemes, but rather *how to handle* bitcoins held in long-dormant addresses that fail to migrate. One camp advocates setting a final deadline after which Bitcoin’s existing ECDSA and Schnorr signature schemes would no longer be supported, and unmigrated funds would be frozen—thereby preventing future quantum attackers from seizing large amounts of BTC and destabilizing markets. The other camp contends that freezing funds would effectively amount to asset confiscation, violating Bitcoin’s core principles of immutability and full user control over assets—and could set a precedent for future regulatory-driven freezes. The Coinbase advisory committee notes that these approaches are not mutually exclusive and could be combined. Yet it declines to state a position on whether “legacy BTC” should be frozen, asserting that the ultimate decision rests with Bitcoin’s community governance. It emphasizes two key points: first, technical development of quantum-resistant signature migration must begin immediately—not wait for governance debates to conclude; second, users must receive clear, timely risk communication to prevent prolonged uncertainty from harming the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Y Combinator: Clarity Act Could Drive Crypto Integration Across All YC Portfolio Companies
Odaily Planet Daily reported that renowned startup accelerator Y Combinator stated that in the future, all of its portfolio companies may utilize crypto technology, particularly infrastructure like stablecoins, and this will not be limited to crypto or fintech startups.YC has previously invested in early-stage companies such as Airbnb, DoorDash, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit, OpenAI, and Kalshi. Its latest statement primarily urges the U.S. Congress to pass the crypto market structure bill, the "Clarity Act."YC believes that for the crypto industry to enter a new phase, it must achieve deeper integration with traditional financial institutions such as banks and brokerages. The Clarity Act is expected to provide the regulatory foundation for this integration. The bill aims to clarify whether digital assets are securities or commodities, establish a registration pathway with the CFTC, and stipulate that customer assets belong to the customers in the event of bankruptcy.However, the prospects for the bill remain uncertain. Supporters argue that it has a bipartisan foundation, while opponents point out limited support from Democrats, the approaching midterm elections, and ethical controversies arising from Trump's direct association with the crypto industry. These factors could all increase legislative resistance.

The Committee stated that these proposals aim to bring clarity, fairness, and operational feasibility to digital assets while safeguarding the United States’ position as the world’s leading hub for cryptocurrency. Witnesses at the hearing included representatives from Fidelity, Coinbase, Coin Center, and the NYU Tax Law Center.

HyperLiquid Upgrades to AQAv2 Mechanism: USDC Balances in Contract and Treasury Addresses Maintain Dynamic 1:9 Ratio
: HyperLiquid has announced an upgrade to the AQAv2 mechanism. The system will use on-chain automated trading to maintain a dynamic 1:9 balance of USDC between two core addresses in each HyperEVM block, corresponding to the contract execution layer and the treasury reserve layer, respectively.According to the mechanism design, this ratio is used for functional stratification between "high-frequency trading and liquidation liquidity" and "long-term reserves and yield pools," aiming to enhance system stability and isolate trading risks.On the technical side, the balancing process is executed automatically by the system without manual intervention. Circle is responsible for the technical deployment, while Coinbase undertakes the treasury deployment and management.Regarding the yield mechanism, AQAv2 stipulates that stablecoin issuers must distribute approximately 90% of their cost-adjusted reserve earnings generated within the Hyperliquid ecosystem to the protocol. Settlement occurs on a 30-day cumulative cycle, and the earnings will be automatically transferred to the Assistance Fund on the 8th day after the cycle ends.Additionally, the mechanism includes a transition period arrangement:1. Start of yield accrual: August 26;2. First yield payment: October 3.The market believes this design marks the evolution of stablecoins from traditional custody structures toward an on-chain infrastructure model characterized by "protocolized capital stratification + automated yield distribution."

Five people in the UK sentenced for “wrench attacks” against cryptocurrency holders, victims forced to transfer crypto assets
UK police announced that five individuals have been sentenced in a “wrench attack” case targeting cryptocurrency holders. The suspects met the victim at a Shoreditch pub in London in July 2025 and forcibly took him to his home, where they used violence and threats—including coercing facial recognition verification—to compel him to access his bank and cryptocurrency accounts, stealing over £10,000 in cash, cryptocurrency, and watches. During the investigation, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase reported suspicious activity on the victim’s account to the police, who subsequently identified and arrested the suspects. The court sentenced four principal offenders to prison terms ranging from three-and-a-half to six-and-a-half years, while a fifth individual received a community service order for money laundering. Police stated that the incident inflicted long-term psychological trauma on the victim and his family, highlighting the rising risk of offline violent crime targeting cryptocurrency asset holders.

Coinbase internal tool Mux reveals AI coding paradigm shift: Engineers transition from "code writers" to "multi-agent orchestrators"
Coinbase, a cryptocurrency trading platform, has disclosed in a technical sharing session that its internal multi-agent development tool "Mux" is reshaping software engineering workflows, transitioning the engineer's role from traditional code implementers to task orchestrators for AI agents.With the widespread internal adoption of AI programming tools such as Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, and Claude Code, code generation efficiency has significantly improved. However, development workflows have long remained stuck in a traditional "single-task, single-branch, sequential execution" mode, creating a new collaboration bottleneck.Mux was born as an internal tool against this backdrop. By assigning each AI agent an independent git worktree, branch, and terminal environment, the system enables parallel multi-task development and conflict-free collaboration, allowing engineers to simultaneously direct multiple agents to handle tasks such as API development, test writing, vulnerability fixes, and code refactoring.Data shows that as of April 2026, Mux has covered over 600 users within Coinbase (including engineers, product managers, and designers), with 335 actively using it and 197 being high-frequency users. It has facilitated over 5,000 PR merges across 461 code repositories and 10 organizations. Engineers using Mux achieved an average of 39.6 PR merges, approximately 3.5 times the baseline of 11.4.Coinbase stated that Mux's success relies on its internal infrastructure capabilities, including an LLM Gateway, secure model access, and a code flow deployment system, enabling deep integration of multi-agent tools into real development workflows. This trend marks a structural shift in the software engineering paradigm: as AI reduces the cost of code generation, the core value of engineers is transitioning from "implementation capability" to "problem definition and agent orchestration capability."
The American Bankers Association calls for tightening stablecoin reward restrictions; the Senate committee will vote on crypto legislation Thursday
According to The Block, Rob Nichols, CEO of the American Bankers Association (ABA), sent a letter to senior bank executives on Sunday evening urging them to contact U.S. Senators and call for further tightening of provisions related to stablecoin rewards ahead of the Senate Banking Committee’s markup vote scheduled for Thursday. Nichols warned that the current draft fails to effectively prevent crypto firms from offering users “interest-like rewards,” which could trigger massive outflows of bank deposits and threaten economic growth and financial stability. The current draft was negotiated by Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Thom Tillis. It prohibits paying users interest or returns for holding stablecoins but permits rewards tied to genuine activity or transactions—a provision supported by Coinbase. Banking industry groups contend that these exceptions contain loopholes that could be circumvented, and on May 8, they jointly wrote to Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Democrat Elizabeth Warren, requesting technical revisions to the language of the provision.
Coinbase Sued for Freezing Funds Linked to $55 Million DAI Theft
According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase has been sued in a U.S. federal court in California over frozen funds linked to a $55 million DAI phishing theft that occurred in 2024. The plaintiffs allege that some traceable stolen funds—after being mixed via Tornado Cash—were deposited into Coinbase retail user accounts and remain frozen. Coinbase states it can only release the assets after a court rules on their ownership. The complaint also links the theft to the malicious wallet drainer platform Inferno Drainer. Victims had engaged Zero Shadow and Five Stones Intelligence to track the stolen funds.
