According to official information, Mantle announced today that its native cross-chain infrastructure Mantle Super Portal, jointly developed with Bybit, has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Powered by CCIP, Mantle Super Portal will feature enhanced cross-chain security, decentralized node infrastructure protection, advanced risk management, and institutional-grade security standards, providing a higher level of security for cross-chain transfers of MNT tokens valued at over $2.5 billion. Furthermore, as an increasing number of regulated assets such as tokenized stocks are transferred on-chain, the underlying infrastructure supporting them must also meet traditional finance standards. This migration will further solidify Mantle's position as a "distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity," and also reflects Mantle and Bybit's continued commitment to developing MNT through further integrations, opportunities, and use cases. According to the details provided, Mantle Super Portal will be temporarily closed during the migration, scheduled from July 9 to 15, 2026 (the actual timeframe may be slightly extended). No action is required from users, and transfers will automatically resume upon completion of the migration.

Odaily, Web3 security firm CertiK has released the "Hack3D: First Half of 2026 Report." The report shows that the Web3 ecosystem experienced 344 security incidents in the first half of 2026, with cumulative losses of approximately $1.32 billion. Although this figure represents a 46.8% decrease compared to the same period last year, excluding the impact of the $1.45 billion security incident involving Bybit, the scale of losses in the first half of this year actually increased by approximately 28% year-on-year, indicating that the overall security environment in the industry has not materially improved.The report points out that wallet theft has become the attack type causing the greatest financial loss, accounting for approximately $450 million in losses in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, although the number of phishing attacks fell by more than 50% year-on-year, the loss amount only decreased by approximately 10.8%, reflecting that attackers are shifting towards high-net-worth individuals and institutional targets, carrying out more targeted high-value attacks.Furthermore, code vulnerabilities remain the most frequent type of attack, with 204 related incidents. CertiK believes that attackers are increasingly targeting long-running legacy smart contracts that lack re-audits. The report also shows that mega-attacks continue to dominate industry losses, with the Kelp DAO and Drift Protocol incidents alone causing approximately $577 million in losses, accounting for 44% of the total losses in the first half of the year. Looking at the number of incidents, the impact of single attacks, and the changing attack patterns, the Web3 industry is facing more complex and continuously escalating security challenges.
According to official announcements, the on-chain burn for GateToken (GT) in the second quarter of 2026 has been officially completed. A total of 2,570,063.3829548 GT has been transferred to the burn address, with a destruction value exceeding $17.75 million.Since the launch of the Gate Chain mainnet in 2019, GT has implemented a continuous burning mechanism. To date, a cumulative total of 189,947,219 GT has been burned, with a total cumulative destruction value exceeding $1.311 billion (based on the quarterly average price). The total token supply has been significantly reduced by approximately 63.32% from the initial 300 million tokens.As the sole Gas token for the Gate Layer, GT's usage frequency continues to rise. As the underlying infrastructure, the Gate Layer provides high-performance network support for applications such as Gate Perp DEX, Gate Fun, Gate Meme Go, and Gate Swap. Furthermore, Gate is continuously enriching its product ecosystem. Gate Stocks has established a 7×24 hour trading service system covering the three core markets of US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks, encompassing over 12,500 global stocks and ETF assets.

The platform also supports cross-broker transfer of US and Hong Kong stocks, and facilitates corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse stock splits, further enhancing the stock investment service experience. Gate will persistently execute a long-term, stable GT burning mechanism to form a tighter positive cycle between the token's economic model, actual usage demand, and ecosystem expansion.
The PPP Prediction Market tool monitors that Polymarket has listed a new event: "Will the US government revoke public access to another major AI model?" The current probability is reported at 33%.The settlement rules state: If the US federal government, by the end of 2026, passes relevant legislation, issues an executive order, implements export controls, or takes any other action that substantially restricts US public access to a major AI model, the market outcome will be "Yes." Otherwise, the outcome will be "No." A "qualifying action" refers to a formal measure taken by the US government, the effect of which is equivalent to completely prohibiting the public from accessing a specific AI model within the United States. Furthermore, the settlement rules emphasize that regardless of the action's true purpose or nominal goal; if the action effectively results in the public being unable to access the model within the US—for example, prohibiting the model from being provided to foreign citizens or governments, as long as the general public cannot access the model through conventional channels within the US—it meets the qualification requirements. Merely excluding access to the model from a single channel is insufficient. Removals of public access that are not caused by any formal action of the US government are not eligible."Mainstream AI model" refers to the flagship, general-purpose large language model or multimodal foundation model developed by one of the following companies: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (including Google DeepMind), Meta, xAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Alibaba, ByteDance, Moonshot AI, and Zhipu AI (Z.ai). Models designed for specific tasks, or those that are outdated, used solely for research or preview purposes, do not meet this criterion.The action can target a single model or a group of models, as long as at least one major AI model becomes inaccessible to the public within the US as a result. A temporary suspension of public access to a model meets this condition. However, if an action has been implemented or a related resolution has been issued, but the public can still access the model before the resolution takes effect, that action does not meet the condition.The information sources for this market are official announcements and information from the US government and the relevant AI companies. However, reliable media reports may also be referenced to form a consensus.The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, observing changes before prices are set.
according to a mid-year open letter from Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, the first half of 2026 witnessed significant structural changes in platform user behavior: the peak trading volume of non-crypto assets approached 40% of Bitget's overall trading volume; CFD daily trading volume exceeded $10 billion; 52% of users held both stocks and cryptocurrencies; and 35% held precious metals like gold. Cross-asset trading has become a mainstream habit.Gracy Chen pointed out that as a Universal Exchange (UEX), Bitget's core goal is not to build an "asset supermarket," but to reconstruct the underlying logic of how users participate in global markets around four core values: "asset efficiency, crypto-native experience, financial equality, and reducing burdens." On the business implementation front, Bitget has accelerated its layout through a dual-track approach combining tokenized stocks and direct stock connectivity, supporting 7×24 hour trading for multiple asset classes to break down the time zone and geographical barriers of traditional finance.Furthermore, as AI tools become more deeply integrated into execution, 51% of users utilized AI-driven trading tools in the first half of the year, and the number of AI trading users on the platform has exceeded one million.
Robinhood has announced the official launch of the public mainnet for its proprietary Layer 2 network, Robinhood Chain.

Among them, Uniswap will deploy a dedicated AMM on the chain as the primary public liquidity protocol, while Pleiades will deploy its own AMM as the primary proprietary trading venue. The chain will also offer basic DeFi functionalities such as lending.Eligible users can trade tokenized stocks 24/7 on Robinhood Chain. Simultaneously, Robinhood Earn will introduce USDG-based decentralized lending products within the main app. In certain jurisdictions, the new version of Robinhood Wallet will also support access to Lighter's perpetual contract trading.Robinhood also announced the expansion of its European perpetual contract product range, its official entry into the Canadian market, and the acquisition of a Singapore Capital Markets Services license. Furthermore, Agentic Accounts for crypto trading are planned to begin rolling out in the US soon, allowing AI agents to participate in trading and fund management.Robinhood stated that this update represents its most ambitious global expansion and product vision to date, with the goal of establishing a more direct connection between traditional finance and DeFi, integrating stocks, crypto, RWA, perpetual contracts, and AI trading into a unified financial experience.

: Lorenzo Valente, ARK Invest's Director of Digital Asset Research, has questioned the stablecoin consortium project OpenUSD, expressing high skepticism about whether such consortium-style stablecoin initiatives can achieve scale. He believes that similar alliances have emerged multiple times before, including Diem and Global Dollar, but ultimately failed to form dominant network effects. Currently, the stablecoin market remains dominated by Tether and Circle, whose core advantages lie in strong network effects and instant liquidity. OpenUSD, however, may face a "cold start" problem, as its joint governance structure will severely slow down decision-making efficiency, making it prone to coordination failures under decentralized governance—resembling the governance dilemmas of DAO experiments: high collaboration costs, slow execution, and difficulty deploying capital efficiently.Furthermore, OpenUSD's economic model appears unsustainable for long-term operations. If it relies on a low-fee split mechanism, it will be unable to cover the costs of infrastructure, incentives, and market expansion.Lorenzo Valente concluded that OpenUSD resembles more of a "collection of letters of intent" than a unified product system with strong execution capabilities. He argued that in the long run, the more likely winners are single operators capable of rapid iteration and independent decision-making, rather than joint governance structures requiring multi-party consensus.

Binance founder CZ stated that the company's MiCA license application in Greece fully met regulatory requirements before its withdrawal and was close to approval. However, the process was ultimately disrupted due to the intervention of "external political factors."In an interview, CZ mentioned that several countries within the EU had expressed interest in the license, with some even showing a degree of "competitive pursuit." Ultimately, the regulatory progress was affected by factors outside the regulatory sphere, forcing the withdrawal of the application. Binance formally withdrew its Greek application last week and stated it would pursue MiCA authorization in other EU member states. Addressing market rumors linking him to high-level EU political figures, CZ said he had not seen any verifiable documents and had only encountered similar claims online, which he could not confirm.CZ also noted that the MiCA transitional period in the EU is set to end on July 1st. After that date, platforms without a license must cease related services. National regulatory bodies have made it clear there will be no extensions. He described the outcome as a "lose-lose situation" and, citing the regulatory histories of Japan and Singapore, emphasized that compliance processes often require a longer cycle.Furthermore, when discussing Strategy's STRC preferred stock product, CZ described its structure as "too complex" and said he found it difficult to fully understand its mechanism. However, he stressed that he was not making a judgment on the credibility of its founder, Michael Saylor, whom he considers a "staunch Bitcoin supporter." (The Block)

prediction market platform Polymarket has been accused of promoting its products on social media by paying creators to post videos featuring simulated trading and fake profits.According to the report, the creators used simulation sites that closely resemble Polymarket's actual website to produce trading videos.

Polymarket managed these influencer campaigns through the marketing firm Virality. Despite its services being restricted for US users, the promotional activities still appear to have been targeted at an American audience.Furthermore, the Wall Street Journal reported that Polymarket had a multi-million dollar promotional partnership with influencer Adin Ross to drive user engagement on the platform.
