He also pointed out that there are several CME Bitcoin futures gaps above, with the highest being above $79,000, and that market pullbacks that occur on Fridays often turn bullish again.

The cross-chain network Everclear officially announced on social media that it has decided to end the operations of the Everclear Foundation and Labs, and to stop product development. Currently, the protocol has been shut down, and the Everclear UI and chain have ceased operation. The team stated that the remaining TVL in the protocol has been fully withdrawn, and to their knowledge, no user funds are trapped.Regarding the reasons for the shutdown, Everclear stated that although the monthly trading volume had previously reached $500 million, the team failed to establish sufficient commercial depth and convert it into effective revenue due to users' high price sensitivity in the cross-chain solver field. Additionally, the team exhausted its funds (runway) during the transition to a B2B2C model over the past six months, and several acquisition proposals explored were also unsuccessful.For future arrangements, Everclear is conducting an orderly liquidation to address outstanding debts. The team stated that if there are remaining funds after the debts are settled, they will explore repurchasing existing tokens, with a potential total repurchase amount estimated between $50,000 and $200,000, but this has not yet been finalized. Furthermore, the foundation is considering open-sourcing the protocol's intellectual property (IP) to give the DAO the option to continue advancing work under new management; currently, the DAO itself is still operational.

According to crypto analyst Ai Yi @ai_9684xtpa, a whale address that has attracted attention for multiple high-win-rate swing trades of PEPE has transferred all of its remaining 63.9 billion PEPE to Bitget in the past 12 hours, valued at approximately $2.357 million, suspected to have completed liquidation.Data shows that the recharge price for this portion of PEPE was about $0.000003687, with an entry cost of about $0.00001683. If sold, it would incur a loss of approximately $8.4 million. Combined with the portion of the position that was transferred to exchanges two months ago, the total estimated loss has exceeded $17.12 million. Additionally, this address has also recharged other altcoins such as UNI and CAKE to the exchange, and it is currently uncertain whether it plans to fully liquidate or is simply changing addresses.

According to Axios, American Republicans are increasingly dissatisfied with the flow of political donations in the cryptocurrency industry, demanding that the pro-crypto super PAC Fairshake, which holds about $165 million in funds, clarify its stance and focus on supporting Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections.Republicans pointed out that, against the backdrop of significant progress in promoting pro-crypto legislation such as the CLARITY Act, Fairshake has yet to announce specific election investment plans, which is disappointing. The points of contention include:Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown: Fairshake spent over $40 million in 2024 to defeat incumbent Senator Brown, but Brown's attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry has noticeably softened in recent years.New Hampshire Congressman Chris Pappas: His Stand With Crypto rating rose from "F" to "A" within 8 months, and Republicans initially expected Fairshake to focus on his campaign.In response, Fairshake supporters stated that it is still too early to speak out and emphasized that the PAC is bipartisan in nature, aiming to "reward supporters and punish critics," rather than unconditionally supporting a particular party. Some pro-crypto Republicans (such as the Winklevoss brothers) have established separate independent groups specifically to support Republican candidates.

According to Aastocks, the tokenized financial market infrastructure Digital Asset Clearing Center (DACC) announced the completion of a $10 million strategic financing, with participation from Conflux, Global InfoTech, Fosun International, Blockstone, Avior Capital, Fintech World, Satoshi Ventures, and BridgeTower.DACC currently provides end-to-end "Clearing-as-a-Service" for financial institutions, and the new funds will support its construction of compliant financial settlement and clearing infrastructure.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 104 partners of Arc, covering six core sectors: asset issuance, infrastructure, developer tools, trading, financial services, and payments. Compared to most public chains that first develop a developer ecosystem and then seek commercialization scenarios, Arc's path is clearly more aligned with the real financial circulation network. At the asset issuance level, stablecoin issuers such as AllUnity, BDACS, Bitso/Juno, and Stablecorp, as well as tokenized asset players like Centrifuge, Securitize, and WisdomTree have entered the scene, indicating that Arc prioritizes solving the "on-chain asset supply" issue, bringing dollars, bonds, and securities onto the chain. At the infrastructure level, partners like Blockdaemon, Chainalysis, Elliptic, QuickNode, and DRPC provide node services, compliance analysis, and on-chain data support. This means Arc is preparing for institutional funds, rather than following the typical Crypto public chain model of "growth first, compliance later." At the developer tools level, partners such as Axelar, Wormhole, Chainlink, MetaMask, Fireblocks, Privy, Alchemy, LayerZero, and TRM Labs are concentrated, essentially lowering the migration costs for institutions and developers, allowing funds, wallets, cross-chain, and compliance tools to be directly in place. At the trading level, institutions like Coinbase, Bybit, Kraken, Robinhood, Galaxy Digital, and B2C2 are responsible for secondary market liquidity and price discovery. The payment layer is heavily integrated by Visa, Mastercard, PhotonPay, Nuvei, EBANX, and Ramp. At the financial services level, firms like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, State Street, Aave, Maple Finance, Morpho, and BitGo are appearing simultaneously, indicating that Arc has begun to bridge traditional banking, on-chain lending, and custody systems. On the surface, Arc appears to be a new public chain, but from an ecological structure perspective, it will serve as the new financial infrastructure for the Circle stablecoin era, directly emphasizing USDC gas fees, sub-second final settlement, compliance privacy, and native CCTP integration, aiming to directly penetrate real capital flows and attempt to become SWIFT + Stripe + DTCC.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, on the eve of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee's review of the "Clarity Act," committee members submitted over 100 amendments last night. The DeFi advocacy organization @fund_defi characterized some of these amendments as "anti-DeFi amendments," believing they would harm the rights of DeFi technology, users, and developers, and called on supporters to urgently lobby senators to oppose them.It is reported that the aforementioned amendments were jointly proposed by Democratic senators Cortez Masto, Andy Kim, Chris Van Hollen, Warren, and Jack Reed, targeting the core DeFi protection provisions in the bill, including the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), non-controlling software developer protections, DeFi front-end protections, tokenization provisions, and proposed expansions of BSA/AML compliance obligations for developers and digital asset businesses.

The Ethereum Foundation officially launched the Clear Signing open standard on Tuesday, aimed at replacing the unreadable hexadecimal strings displayed when wallet users sign transactions with human-readable transaction content.This standard is centered around ERC-7730. When a wallet supports this standard, it will read the descriptor file of the contract and reconstruct the raw transaction data into understandable content, such as displaying a Uniswap V3 swap as sending 1,000 USDC and receiving at least 0.42 WETH. ERC-8176 adds an integrity certification layer on top of this, allowing auditors to publish signature certification confirming the accuracy of the descriptors. Participants include hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor), software wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect), security companies (Cyfrin), and infrastructure (Fireblocks), among others.Blind signing has been a significant cause of losses in crypto assets. The $1.5 billion vulnerability at Bybit in February 2025 and the approximately $235 million WazirX incident both involved signers approving transactions that did not reflect the true intent. Ledger initiated this project in 2021, formalized it as ERC-7730 in 2024, and transferred governance to the foundation earlier this year to ensure the neutrality of the standard. The ERC-7730 V2, released in April 2026, has expanded its coverage to cross-chain use cases, software wallets, and confidential token primitives.

The working group led by the Ethereum Foundation has released a new open standard called "Clear Signing," aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of "blind signing." This new standard is built on the ERC-7730 specification and aims to promote the "WYSIWYS (What You See Is What You Sign)" concept, allowing users to understand the actual execution content of transactions in a unified, readable, and structured manner before signing. This replaces the current common practice of displaying machine-readable but difficult-to-understand low-level transaction information. By using a unified description format, a registry system, and independent verification and auditing mechanisms, the intent of transactions can be clearly expressed and standardized for presentation on wallets.Clear Signing will not change the on-chain transaction structure but will enhance interpretability through off-chain standardized descriptions, thereby improving security without affecting the compatibility of existing protocols.
