Vitalik Buterin published an article discussing the application prospects of Formal Verification in the field of blockchain security.The article points out that a new paradigm is emerging in Ethereum's cutting-edge research and development, where code is directly written using EVM bytecode, assembly, or Lean, and its correctness is verified using automatically checkable mathematical proofs in Lean. Researcher Yoichi Hirai refers to this paradigm as "the ultimate form of software development."Vitalik believes that AI-assisted formal verification is expected to enhance both code efficiency and security, particularly suitable for security core modules such as STARK, ZK-EVM, quantum-resistant signatures, and consensus algorithms.The article also emphasizes that formal verification is not a panacea and may still fail due to issues such as incomplete proof coverage, specification errors, and hardware side channels; in the future, software may differentiate into "security cores" and "non-security edges," with Ethereum becoming one of the important security cores.

In addition to ETH, the company also holds approximately $685 million in cash and other crypto assets, and disclosed that it holds about $83 million in shares of the Nasdaq-listed company Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), making it one of the few publicly traded companies that can indirectly provide investors with exposure to OpenAI.Bitmine stated that Ethereum continues to benefit from two major trends: "Wall Street asset tokenization" and the growing demand for open, neutral public blockchains driven by AI systems. The company also mentioned that its MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network) is an Ethereum staking platform aimed at institutional investors, focusing on security, yield, and network resilience.In terms of market performance, Bitmine stated that BMNR has currently become the 133rd ranked stock by trading volume in the US, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $857 million over the past five days.

According to The Block, Geoffrey Kendrick, the global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that the total scale of on-chain tokenized assets is expected to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA) each accounting for $2 trillion. Standard Chartered believes that DeFi protocols with mature risk control systems and scalability will be the main beneficiaries of this trend, while the advancement of the U.S. Clarity Act may become an important catalyst for accelerating the on-chain transition of traditional finance.Kendrick pointed out that the core advantage of DeFi lies in "composability." In an on-chain environment, the same asset can simultaneously earn yields, serve as collateral, and maintain liquidity, which the traditional financial system cannot achieve with similar efficiency. He stated that this structural advantage means "1+1=3." Standard Chartered cited BlackRock's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL as an example, noting that the product not only yields about 4% from U.S. Treasuries but can also be converted into sBUIDL for use in lending protocol collateral and serves as a reserve asset for products like Ethena USDtb and Ondo OUSG.The report also noted that the current scale of off-chain assets is still about 1,000 times that of on-chain assets, and the tokenization of institutional-grade assets may become the core source of growth for the next phase of the industry. Regarding institutional adoption, Standard Chartered mentioned that Aave's asset scale once matched that of the 38th largest bank in the U.S., and the current daily trading volume of on-chain stablecoin lending has reached $1.5 billion to $2 billion.At the same time, the Bitcoin lending product developed in collaboration between Coinbase and Morpho currently has a loan scale of about $1.75 billion, covering approximately 22,000 borrowers, indicating that traditional financial institutions are gradually using DeFi as underlying infrastructure.

Bernstein stated in its latest research report that the recently reached compromise on stablecoin yield in the U.S. CLARITY Act is structurally beneficial for Circle and the USDC ecosystem.The report indicates that the current version of the bill prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest to passive holders that is "economically equivalent" to bank deposits, but allows reward mechanisms related to real transactions, payments, and usage behaviors to continue. Bernstein believes this means that Circle's current model, which relies on partners like Coinbase to provide USDC reward programs, will gain regulatory recognition, while also limiting the industry's ability to compete for market share through high yields.Bernstein pointed out that the bill actually reinforces the positioning of stablecoins as "payment tools" rather than "deposit substitutes," which helps protect Circle's current business model that relies on reserve income. It continues to give Circle an "outperform" rating and a target price of $190.Data shows that the total supply of global dollar stablecoins has surpassed $300 billion, with USDT and USDC together accounting for about 97% of the market share. Bernstein noted that USDC's share in on-chain payments and wallet transfers is continuously increasing, with its payment share in the AI Agent payment protocol x402 exceeding 99%.Additionally, Bernstein mentioned that Circle's launched ARC chain has completed a total of 244 million testnet transactions, and its ARC token presale previously raised $222 million, with investors including a16z crypto, Apollo Funds, ARK Invest, and BlackRock among others.However, the report also pointed out that the CLARITY Act still needs to complete several legislative procedures before it can officially take effect, including a full Senate vote with 60 votes and coordination with the House version. Polymarket currently predicts a probability of about 62% for it to pass by 2026.
