Web3 asset data platform RootData released the sixth issue of the "Cryptocurrency Exchange Transparency Ranking (Stock Category)," continuing to focus on the growth trend of stock assets in cryptocurrency exchanges. In this issue, Binance, OKX, Gate, Bitget, and Bybit ranked in the top five.According to the ranking, most cryptocurrency exchanges saw an increase of around 10% in trading volume over the past week, reversing a downward trend that had persisted for several weeks, but the traffic remained mostly flat compared to last week, with no significant signs of rebound.In terms of ranking changes, Gate and Bitget both moved up one position, while Bybit dropped two positions. Bitget launched the first Pre-IPO project SpaceX (SPCX) in this issue, connecting the Pre-IPO product framework with traditional capital markets, enhancing the richness and institutional attributes of its "tradable stock assets," which is an important reason for the score increase this time.It is reported that RootData adheres to the "transparency first" principle and has taken the lead in establishing a dual evaluation system of "transparency + liquidity" in the field of stock cryptocurrency exchanges, thereby providing investors with more effective data references. The ranking will continue to be improved and published in the future.

According to Cointelegraph, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson warned that U.S. authorities should prepare short-term, targeted emergency plans in advance for the potential collapse of future U.S. Treasury demand. He stated that once a crisis occurs, the impact will be severe. The U.S. Treasury market is seen as the cornerstone of the global financial system, and if it becomes unstable, it could affect the pricing of corporate bonds, mortgages, and stocks.The report pointed out that if a crisis weakens confidence in the dollar, it could drive funds toward alternative value storage assets like Bitcoin and gold; however, Tether, which uses U.S. Treasuries as its main reserve asset, may also face redemption and de-pegging risks.

The Ethereum NFT marketplace Foundation has officially announced its permanent closure. Founder Kayvon Tehranian posted on X stating that the original plan was to sell the platform to a buyer interested in continuing operations, but the deal ultimately fell through, and the company deemed it not worth searching for other buyers. The platform's infrastructure has been shut down, with no plans for relaunch.In January of this year, Tehranian transferred ownership of Foundation to the digital art display company BlackDove, at the time calling this move a step for the platform's long-term development. However, BlackDove only conducted a full due diligence after completing the operational handover and ultimately determined that building a proprietary marketplace was more feasible, leading to the termination of the collaboration.Since its launch, Foundation has facilitated approximately $230 million in primary sales and has hosted iconic auctions featuring artists such as Jen Stark, James Jean, and Edward Snowden. This closure has once again raised questions about the permanence of NFTs hosted on centralized infrastructure.

According to Hyperbridge's official disclosure, the loss from the Token Gateway vulnerability incident has been revised from an initial estimate of $237,000 to approximately $2.5 million, with the increase mainly coming from losses in incentive pools on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum.The attacker extracted about 245 ETH from the relevant contracts and then bypassed the MMR proof verification mechanism by forging cross-chain messages, minting 1 billion bridged DOT and selling them into a thinly traded market. Currently, some of the stolen funds have been traced on-chain to Binance, and Hyperbridge is collaborating with Binance's compliance team and law enforcement agencies for an investigation.Native DOT of Polkadot and products like Intent Gateway are unaffected, while the Token Gateway and the bridged DOT contracts on the four affected EVM chains remain suspended. The MMR verification logic patch is undergoing external audit, and the bridging functionality will be restored after the audit is completed.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently hovering around $75,000, facing supply pressure, but institutional demand remains stable.Market sentiment is boosted by news of the extended ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The dollar has fallen to a near six-week low, and U.S. Treasury yields have also declined, conditions that typically support cryptocurrency prices; gold has risen in tandem, indicating that the market is seeking a balance between risk appetite and safe-haven demand.On-chain data shows that when prices reach a key cost benchmark for short-term holders, Bitcoin often experiences a supply surge. This level is around $76,800, which could constitute significant resistance, at which point investors may choose to take profits when breaking even.The newly established MSBT fund under Morgan Stanley has quickly attracted over $100 million in inflows due to the market's lowest fee rates, prompting competitors like Goldman Sachs to initiate a new round of competition.Meanwhile, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and Iran's threats to disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf continue to cast a shadow over the global economic outlook. The impact on energy supply has begun to raise inflation expectations, which may influence central bank policy direction and, in turn, affect the cryptocurrency market.

CryptoQuant indicates that Bitcoin's recent rebound is facing increasing selling pressure risks, with on-chain data showing a significant rise in funds flowing into exchanges. Bitcoin previously broke through $76,000 but faced pressure and retreated as it approached the key resistance zone around $76,800. This position corresponds to the "on-chain realized price" range, which historically often becomes the top of a rebound, as many investors with positions close to breakeven tend to sell.Data shows that the hourly inflow of Bitcoin into exchanges has risen to about 11,000 coins, the highest level since the end of 2025, and is typically seen as a potential selling signal. At the same time, the scale of large holders (whales) transferring to exchanges is also expanding. Analysts believe that if this resistance level remains effective, Bitcoin may face short-term correction pressure, with key support levels around $67,600.

According to Decrypt, U.S. Senator Warren recently expressed concerns about Musk's planned payment platform X Money, stating that it could pose risks to consumer protection, national security, and the stability of the financial system.Warren pointed out that after acquiring and reshaping X, Musk is pushing it to become a "super app" that covers "all aspects of users' financial lives," potentially even replacing the traditional banking system. She questioned the performance of the X platform in terms of security and content governance, believing that this undermines its credibility in entering the consumer finance sector.Additionally, Warren criticized the current regulatory environment for becoming more lenient, including the "GENIUS Act" promoted by the Trump administration, which provides a "special pathway" for private companies to issue stablecoins, potentially weakening necessary regulatory constraints.

According to Jinshi reports, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen stated that she still believes there is a possibility of interest rate cuts later this year; however, the fluctuations in oil prices caused by the Iran war have cast a shadow over the outlook. Yellen pointed out that this is a broad supply shock affecting multiple areas, including gasoline, liquefied natural gas, fertilizers, food, shipping costs, and semiconductors. While the possibility of raising interest rates cannot be ruled out, stable long-term inflation expectations suggest that this is unlikely to happen. She expects that there may be interest rate cuts by the end of this year.

U.S. President Trump told the New York Post that negotiations regarding Iran "may take place in Pakistan within the next two days," and we are more "inclined" to hold the negotiations on the Iran issue in Pakistan.

10x Research released a market analysis on platform X indicating that Bitcoin is brewing an important market breakthrough. Its internal trend model has already captured this turning signal in advance, and current market sentiment, positions, and capital flow data are validating the changes in market structure.Although the market is generally focused on the potential threat of quantum computing to the security of crypto assets, this risk is expected to manifest only between 2030 and 2035. Currently, the technical aspect has shifted to a constructive range, with multiple Bitcoin trading signals simultaneously presenting high-probability opportunities, indicating that short-term upward momentum is accumulating. However, 10x Research believes the more critical question is whether this market will evolve into a new bull market and challenge historical highs.

According to Asda Finance, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Paul Chan, stated that the authorities' licensing strategy is "small steps, quick progress," and will initially issue a small number of licenses. There needs to be practical application scenarios, and only after summarizing experiences post-launch will a second batch be issued.Stablecoins and digital assets are financial innovations that require encouragement for breakthroughs, but at the same time, safety must be ensured, and mechanisms must be in place to prevent money laundering, thus appropriate regulations are necessary. The benefits of stablecoins include decentralization and high efficiency, but they are merely a payment tool, not an investment tool.
