The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) plans to block the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) from quickly listing a 24x7 oil contract due to concerns that the energy market is not ready to handle a surge of around-the-clock derivative contracts.CME stated in June that it plans to offer around-the-clock trading for a futures contract linked to WTI crude oil, based on 10 barrels, arguing that investors want to manage their positions "whenever news breaks." On Wednesday, CME submitted a self-certification application for this new product, meaning the CFTC has only one day to intervene, or the contract will be available for trading. According to informed sources, the CFTC plans to block CME's self-certification.CFTC Chairman Michael C. Selig has met in recent weeks with executives from energy companies such as Shell, Vitol, BP, and ExxonMobil. Another application submitted by CME for the same product (which requires a 45-day review period) is still under consideration by the regulatory agency.

Summer.fi released an analysis report on the Lazy Summer Protocol USDC treasury attack incident. The attacker manipulated the prices of two USDC treasury shares in a single atomic transaction, extracting approximately $6.04 million of depositor funds. The core of the attack lies in the calculation method of the treasury's net asset value (NAV).The attacker donated tokens that still retained the old valuation to a Silo Ark that had been suspended after the incident in November 2025 but had not yet been completely removed, resulting in an inflated total asset value of approximately 9.5%, raising the share price, which was then redeemed at an inflated price and withdrawn from the treasury's actual liquidity. The report emphasizes that this attack was not due to a contract code vulnerability, but rather a missing link in the treasury's offline process—the deposit limit for that Ark had been set to zero, yet it was still counted in the NAV of active assets.The attacker premeditatedly accumulated the required tokens three months in advance through multiple wallets and transferred part of the profits via Tornado Cash. After the incident, Guardian Multisig has suspended all on-chain treasuries and set the deposit limit to zero. The Lazy Summer DAO will discuss compensation plans for affected users and the treasury restart plan in the coming days.

The Berachain mainnet PoL Next has officially launched, and the contract upgrade marks the first step in transitioning from the original BGT model to a more simplified and sustainable incentive system centered around sWBERA. The complete transition is divided into two phases: on July 7, the contract changes will take effect, and WBERA will begin to be issued as a replacement for BGT; on July 8, the hard fork will completely stop BGT production, and the old mechanism will officially close.After the transition is complete, BGT LST Reward Vaults and BGT LST incentives will gradually be phased out in the coming days. The official will provide migration tools for all users on the Portfolio page of the Hub, but the migration will not be executed automatically; users will need to manually exchange BGT and BGT LSTs for sWBERA. Early APR may fluctuate, with an estimated maximum increase of up to 3 times the original. The hard fork time is July 8 at 16:00 UTC (12:00 PM EDT).
