According to Cointelegraph, data from payment giant Visa shows that in June, the adjusted trading volume of stablecoins reached $1.79 trillion, a 63% increase from May's $1.1 trillion, setting a new historical record surpassing February's $1.78 trillion, and a year-on-year increase of 125%.Among them, USDC dominates with a trading volume of $1.21 trillion, accounting for about 67%; USDT's trading volume is $576 billion, accounting for about 32%. At the network level, Base ranks first with $565 billion (31.5%), followed closely by Ethereum ($562 billion), and Tron ranks third ($320 billion).Analysts believe that despite the bear market in the crypto space, the trading volume of stablecoins continues to grow, highlighting their increasing importance in practical applications such as payments, DeFi, and cross-border transfers.

Hyperliquid founder Jeff posted on platform X that VALR, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Africa, will directly utilize Hyperliquid's on-chain liquidity to support its core perpetual contract products. This is a significant milestone that will redefine the way the next generation of financial applications are built.The breakthrough in cloud computing lies in the ability for any startup to quickly test its ideas and rest assured that the infrastructure will scale as the business grows.

We are honored that they chose to build on Hyperliquid. Looking forward to expanding together.

According to CoinDesk, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) officially announced a regulatory framework for crypto assets this week, which has been widely regarded by the industry as an international plan emphasizing "global liquidity access," but its implementation still faces significant compliance and approval challenges.Under the new regulations, the FCA allows overseas trading platforms to serve UK users through locally authorized branches and to access global trading infrastructure, thereby avoiding the creation of a closed domestic liquidity pool. At the same time, stablecoins not issued in the UK can also circulate in the UK market, a stance that is seen as a clear distinction from the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) regional isolation model.The "Qualified Crypto Asset Trading Platform" (QCATP) mechanism in the new regulations is viewed as a key structure connecting global exchanges with the UK market, expected to enhance price efficiency and market depth. However, industry insiders point out that the FCA has not clarified which jurisdictions are recognized as having "comparable regulatory protection," and this uncertainty may affect corporate layout decisions.In addition, rules related to decentralized finance (DeFi) are still not fully defined, and some practitioners worry that early proposals may restrict centralized platforms' access to the DeFi ecosystem, causing the UK to lag behind other jurisdictions in related innovation fields.On the compliance front, lawyers have pointed out that under the new Financial Services and Markets Act framework, the authorization process may be extremely stringent, with historical data showing that the FCA's anti-money laundering registration approval rate is less than 15%. The new system will also cover multi-dimensional regulatory requirements such as consumer responsibility, capital adequacy, operational resilience, and executive accountability, significantly raising the entry threshold.The industry believes that the framework overall provides a systemic basis for institutional funds to enter the crypto market, but whether the UK can truly become a global crypto hub will depend on the certainty of regulatory enforcement and approval efficiency in the coming months.

According to The DeFi Report's Ethereum Q2 ecological performance report, Ethereum's Q2 Real Economic Value (REV) is $88.4 million, a 7% increase quarter-over-quarter, but a 68% decrease year-over-year.The report shows that the average real on-chain yield in Q2 is only 0.17%, a 14% decrease quarter-over-quarter and a 61% decrease year-over-year; the total on-chain yield (including issuance) is 2.68%, with the issuance portion accounting for 94%, while priority fees and MEV contribute only 0.17%. L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation continue to significantly weaken.The report points out that although user experience and throughput have improved, L1 fee capture capability remains weak, and future efforts need to leverage real-world applications like RWA as a settlement layer to smooth out cyclical fluctuations.

Galaxy posted on platform X that many registered investment advisors (RIA) are struggling to respond to clients' demands to allocate funds to DeFi while meeting the compliance requirements of the SEC's custody rules. The main pain point is that current regulations require client assets to be held by qualified custodians, effectively excluding self-custody options and making it difficult for traditional financial accounts to directly participate in DeFi strategies.

According to The Block, Standard Chartered Bank has initiated coverage on Morpho for the first time, setting a target price of $60 for its native token MORPHO by the end of 2030, representing a potential increase of approximately 2787%.Geoff Kendrick, Head of Global Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, provided annual forecasts in the report: $3.5 in 2026, $11 in 2027, $22 in 2028, $40 in 2029, and reaching $60 in 2030.The report noted that Morpho is the second-largest decentralized lending protocol after Aave, with current deposits in Morpho Markets of approximately $5.5 billion and a scale of about $4.3 billion in Morpho Vaults. Analysts believe that as the total assets in DeFi are expected to grow 37 times by 2030, Morpho is likely to benefit from this.Standard Chartered previously predicted that by 2030, the upside potential for UNI is approximately 34 times, and for AAVE, it is about 38 times.

According to Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), the Aave DAO commissioned service provider ACI has officially ceased operations today, marking the end of this community-led governance platform after more than three years of operation.Reflecting on this, Marc Zeller noted that ACI was established during a low point for DeFi, with Aave's TVL shrinking to a quarter of its peak, and the protocol losing about $35 million annually. During its tenure, ACI helped Aave turn around its operational status to an annual revenue of $150 million, drove the AAVE price up by 9 times, and established a mature DAO governance and service network.Marc stated that the end of ACI is not the end of the journey, and new project plans will be announced soon.

According to The Block, the Paradigm-supported protocol Symbiotic has officially launched Symbiotic Core V2, transforming from a restaking protocol into infrastructure aimed at the DeFi collateral market.Core V2 allows various applications such as insurance, credit, and RWA to share a single collateral pool, with each vault able to independently set risk parameters, asset types, positions, and loss conditions, enforced on-chain. Idle funds can be automatically routed to blue-chip lending protocols like Aave and Morpho to earn base yields, and can be called upon when performance is required.The first product based on Core V2, Liquid Lane, has been used for RWA instant settlement, supporting the early redemption of various tokenized assets for stablecoins; Nexus Mutual plans to use it as reinsurance capacity, while Cap is used to expand institutional credit guarantees.Symbiotic has previously completed approximately $29 million in Series A funding and $5.8 million in seed funding.
