Standard Chartered Bank's research report has initiated coverage of Uniswap, predicting that its UNI token could rise 40 times from the current approximately $2.7 to $100 by the end of 2030. Standard Chartered believes that the active value of tokenized assets in DeFi will significantly increase from the current approximately $340 billion to $2.7 trillion by 2030, targeting a growth of 37 times. Uniswap, as a decentralized trading protocol, will benefit from this, with the scale of its liquidity pool's tradable assets expanding simultaneously.Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that DeFi protocols will be the next wave of generational wealth opportunities in digital assets and expects UNI to outperform Ethereum and Bitcoin during the same period. Kendrick compared Uniswap to YouTube (an open platform where users provide liquidity), while Coinbase is likened to Netflix (centralized operation). Uniswap has lower capital requirements and advantages in trading similar assets like stablecoins and stETH, as well as listing niche tokens.

According to CryptoSlate, the U.S. Congress is pushing to rebuild the Department of Justice's cryptocurrency crime task force. Previously, the Department of Justice disbanded the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team in April 2025 and stopped its "law enforcement as regulation" strategy targeting the cryptocurrency industry. The new bill was proposed by Representatives Lance Gooden and Josh Gottheimer, aiming to establish a federal cryptocurrency theft task force within the Department of Justice, responsible for coordinating investigations and prosecutions of cases involving cryptocurrency theft, hacking, fraud, and more.The task force's responsibilities include developing best practices for evidence collection, digital evidence analysis, asset tracking, and victim outreach, providing technical assistance and training to state and local law enforcement agencies, and coordinating international cross-border case cooperation. The bill explicitly excludes the cryptocurrency market, financial institutions, and financial products from the task force's regulatory scope, without changing the existing regulatory framework and criminal law. An FBI report indicates that in 2025, there were 181,565 complaints involving cryptocurrency, with reported losses exceeding $11 billion. The bill has not yet clarified details regarding funding, staffing, and victim response mechanisms.

According to La Política Online, the Mexican fintech industry is seeking to promote the Fintech 2 bill reform under the leadership of the new head of the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), Ángel Cabrera. The industry believes that the Fintech Law passed in 2018 can no longer keep up with the pace of innovation, leading to bottlenecks in the approval process, and there is an urgent need for clearer and more flexible regulatory standards. Key demands include accelerating the authorization process, implementing tiered risk management, conditional authorizations, and comprehensive regulations for open financial models.Regarding crypto assets, Mexican financial authorities still maintain restrictions on such tools, despite the continuous growth of the global crypto market. The industry is seeking progress in the regulation of crypto assets, hoping to establish clearer rules. In addition, the industry also hopes to promote a hybrid model that allows the same platform to integrate services such as payments, credit, and insurance. Experts point out that about 85% of transactions in Mexico are still conducted in cash, and a large portion of the population is not covered by the traditional financial system; updating regulations will help accelerate financial inclusion.

According to The Block, Nasdaq-listed Forward Industries (FWDI) is seeking to integrate the Solana digital asset treasury company through acquisitions. The company plans to acquire SkyAI (SKYA) and Solana Company (HSDT), respectively proposing all-stock merger offers with premiums of about 10% and 20%. Solana Company rejected the initial offer, while SkyAI did not respond. Previously, Forward's acquisition of Solmate was also rejected.Forward's Chief Investment Officer Ryan Navi stated that Forward is offering attractive terms to small SOL DATs, including premiums for existing shareholders and opportunities to increase SOL exposure through a larger platform. He believes that many DATs struggling in the bear market face expensive cash liquidation risks, with investors unable to recover their original assets. "We see an offensive opportunity, and there is room for a win-win situation." Navi pointed out that SKYA's stock price is significantly discounted compared to its net asset value, and its performance has notably lagged behind SOL and its peers after transitioning to AI.

After SpaceX went public on Nasdaq last Friday with a valuation of over $1.7 trillion, the trading volume of the HIP-3 perpetual contract SPCX related to SpaceX on Hyperliquid surged. Data shows that the trading volume of the xyz:SPCX pair reached $1.4 billion on that day, accounting for 30% of all HIP-3 trading volume. In contrast, in the three weeks leading up to the SpaceX IPO, the average daily trading volume of xyz:SPCX was only about $26 million, indicating that the IPO event significantly amplified the trading enthusiasm for on-chain stock-related derivatives.From a broader perspective of the HIP-3 ecosystem, the cumulative trading volume of stock-linked perpetual contracts has exceeded $18.8 billion, significantly higher than the combined $7.66 billion of crude oil and Brent crude oil perpetual contracts. This indicates that as high-profile stocks like SpaceX enter the on-chain trading scene, platforms like Hyperliquid are becoming important gateways for crypto users to trade traditional asset exposure, with the activity of stock-related perpetual contracts surpassing that of some traditional commodity markets.

According to The Block, investment bank Benchmark pointed out in its latest research report that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed to repeal Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which could become the "most decisive regulatory change" affecting the market structure of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets in 2026.The proposal was announced on June 11 and aims to eliminate trading protection and quote constraint rules that have been in place for nearly 20 years in the U.S. stock market. The SEC stated that this move is intended to reduce trading costs and provide greater space for market competition and technological innovation.Benchmark's analysis believes that the current Rule 611 (order protection rule) requires trades to adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), while Rule 610(e) restricts "locked/crossed quotes." These mechanisms are effective in traditional matching systems but create structural constraints for automated market maker (AMM) models in decentralized finance (DeFi).The report pointed out that if the relevant rules are repealed, it will significantly lower the compliance barriers for tokenized stocks and on-chain trading systems, making AMM-based trading models easier to access the U.S. capital market system.In terms of potential beneficiaries, Benchmark specifically mentioned Securitize, believing that it will benefit most directly as a provider of tokenized securities infrastructure, while Coinbase and Galaxy Digital will also benefit from the expansion of trading, market-making, and custody infrastructure. However, the report also emphasized that the rule adjustments do not address all core issues, such as the exchange registration system, custody and clearing framework, and the legal positioning of DeFi-native trading still needs further clarification.The industry generally expects that the subsequent "innovation exemption mechanism" will become a key supporting policy. The SEC has currently opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, and the market anticipates that the final vote may take place in early 2027.

According to The Block, executives from hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor stated that the market's trend of fully pushing Bitcoin towards ETFization may pose a long-term risk to the core principles of the crypto industry. According to the company's Chief Business Officer Danny Sanders during the BTC Prague event, the current global crypto user base is approximately 600 million, but only about 10% of users choose to self-custody their assets, with only about 12 to 13 million users using hardware wallets.Since the launch of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF in 2024, which has attracted over $53 billion in inflows, institutional allocation of Bitcoin has significantly increased. However, Sanders pointed out that this trend may also weaken users' behavior of directly holding private keys. He believes that self-custody is one of the core attributes of the Bitcoin system, but there are still significant challenges in terms of user experience and security thresholds, leading more users to prefer participating in the market through custodial tools like exchanges or ETFs.Sanders emphasized that the industry should focus on improving the usability and security of self-custody, rather than simply accepting the path of "putting Bitcoin into ETFs." He stated that if the long-term evolution leads to an ETF-dominated holding structure, it would undermine the foundational logic of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset, which could be the "least ideal outcome" for the industry.

Aster has become one of the first DeFi protocols on the BNB Chain to support bStock, allowing users to use bStock as collateral for perpetual contracts. After enabling multi-asset mode, users can deposit bStock into their perpetual accounts, with each bStock counted as margin up to a maximum of 90% of its value.TSLAB, NVDAB, CRCLB, and SNDKB are the first supported bStock assets, with more varieties to be launched gradually. bStock is a tokenized security issued by Binance, backed 1:1 by underlying U.S. stocks held by custodians, and does not represent direct ownership of the stocks.

The Hyperliquid ecological perpetual contract platform Ventuals announced on platform X that it will shut down, and the team will join another team within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with specific information to be disclosed later. Since its launch, Ventuals has locked up over 500,000 HYPE and has a trading volume exceeding $650 million, having previously provided perpetual contract exposure for unlisted tech companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.Regarding the shutdown arrangements, the OPENAI and ANTHROPIC markets will respectively suspend trading on June 15 at 22:30 and 23:30, with the settlement prices using the TWAP of the marked prices over the past 24 hours, which are $1341.80 and $1618.90; the commodity markets such as WHEAT and SOY, as well as index markets like MAG7 and SEMIS, will gradually settle and suspend trading starting June 18. vHYPE holders can initiate redemptions after all markets have suspended, with HYPE being refunded at a 1:1 ratio along with staking rewards, expected to be credited by 10:00 on June 27 at the earliest. Ventuals also announced the termination of its points program and will not issue tokens.

According to The Block, Ben Werkman, Chief Investment Officer of the Bitcoin treasury company Strive, stated at the BTC Prague event that if Bitcoin prices continue to remain low, treasury companies relying on convertible bond financing will face greater pressure, being forced to sell Bitcoin to maintain operations or repay debts, making industry consolidation inevitable. Currently, Bitcoin has dropped about 50% from its historical high of approximately $126,000 last October.Werkman pointed out that Strive previously chose to rely solely on equity financing and not issue convertible bonds, allowing it to continue operations during the bear market, citing the acquisition of Semler Scientific as a case of industry consolidation. He also mentioned that companies like Nakamoto are actively deleveraging to regain operational flexibility.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Forward Industries has confirmed that it submitted a non-binding acquisition proposal to the board of directors of Solana Company (HSDT), planning to merge the businesses through an all-stock transaction.The company stated that the proposal aims to promote business integration between the two parties and believes that initiating formal dialogue is in the common interest of both companies and their shareholders. However, the HSDT board voted on June 12 to reject the acquisition offer and stated that it would not engage in further discussions regarding the proposal. Forward Industries expressed "disappointment and surprise" at this decision and reiterated its hope that both parties could reopen communication.Analysts believe that this incident reflects the current divergence between Solana ecosystem-related companies regarding capital integration and independent development paths, and it remains to be seen whether there will be renegotiations or other capital actions in the future.
