ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the renaming and migration process of the ai16z project, claiming that he profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch Snapshot voting so that the community could decide whether to rename the project, after a16z had requested a name change to avoid trademark disputes.Shaw claimed that, despite the voting mechanism not being launched as promised, baoskee sold all ai16z in the daos.fun execution wallet after being aware of the pressure to rename and the subsequent migration arrangements, and continued to sell before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes that baoskee had information that other holders did not possess at that time. In response, baoskee denied the allegations, stating that the Snapshot voting had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had also self-funded to increase and lock over $1 million in ai16z liquidity. He also countered that Shaw had serious issues regarding project operations, token migration, and the use of development funds. Currently, there are significant discrepancies between the two parties' statements, and Shaw indicated that he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.

Vitalik Buterin and Etherealize co-founder and CEO Vivek Raman, supported by the Ethereum Foundation, warned that Wall Street's renewed enthusiasm for private, permissioned "consortium chains" is recreating a fragmented system, undermining the interoperability and liquidity that blockchain should bring, akin to "race to the bottom." He pointed out the rise of gated networks such as Digital Asset's Canton Network, Circle's ARC, and Stripe's Tempo, reminiscent of the R3 and Hyperledger consortium chains 2.0 from years past, where institutions will ultimately find themselves in a situation of competing consortium chains, needing permission or membership to participate.Raman emphasized that the Ethereum mainnet should serve as a globally open, permissionless foundation layer similar to HTTP, where institutions can overlay permission and privacy features at the application layer or L2 to achieve maximum interoperability and liquidity. Etherealize is committed to attracting TradFi to embrace Ethereum, which has already hosted billions of dollars in tokenized assets and supported a large amount of DeFi settlements. The company received seed funding from Buterin and the foundation in January 2025 and completed a $40 million Series A financing in the same year.He cited examples such as BlackRock's new fund based on Ethereum, stating that once regulations are clear, institutional funds are more inclined towards open network tracks that are not proprietary; choosing consortium chains would require paying the consortium and being bound by its rules, with incentives for non-early members quickly fading. Christian Catalini, founder of the MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, also pointed out that if permissioned networks driven by enterprise sales become mainstream, some competitive benefits of blockchain may not be realized.

According to the Financial Times, citing two informed sources, regulators are preparing to lift the exit restrictions on Manus founder and CEO Xiao Hong and others. Xiao Hong has informed employees that he plans to return to Singapore soon.Xiao Hong and Manus co-founder and chief scientist Ji Yichao were asked to stay in the country in March this year. At that time, regulators were investigating whether Meta's acquisition of Manus violated relevant regulations. In April, regulators requested Meta to withdraw the approximately $2 billion acquisition.Manus has officially confirmed this week that it will resume independent operations. The split plan is also taking shape. Original shareholders such as Tencent, ZhenFund, and HSG will participate in the buyback, and Tencent will also acquire most of Benchmark's shares, becoming the largest single shareholder of Manus, but its stake will not exceed 50%. Manus will not be merged into Tencent and will continue to operate independently in Singapore.The final plan still requires approval from regulatory authorities. From the current plan, regulators are requesting the dismantling of Meta's acquisition relationship with Manus, but they have not asked Manus to relocate its business.

According to Crypto.News, the investigation that was previously suspended due to large gifts related to cryptocurrency has resumed after Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party in the UK, was re-elected as the MP for the Clacton constituency. The parliamentary commissioner is investigating whether he failed to register financial interests as required, focusing on a personal grant of approximately £5 million (about $6.7 million) from billionaire investor and Tether-related shareholder Christopher Harborne; as well as benefits such as staff, security, transportation, and accommodation provided by long-time advisor George Cottrell, who was previously sentenced for a money laundering-related case in the U.S.Nigel Farage's resignation during his term led to the suspension of the investigation, and he insists that he did not violate any rules, claiming that the money was an unconditional personal gift, part of which was used for security expenses. His by-election victory has allowed him to become an MP again, and the investigation has therefore continued.

According to CoinDesk, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted a preliminary conditional federal banking charter to World Liberty Trust Company, allowing it to operate as a national trust bank and to succeed BitGo as the exclusive issuer and custodian of the USD1 stablecoin under World Liberty Financial, primarily serving institutional clients. Final approval still requires meeting additional pre-opening conditions.Due to World Liberty's partial ownership being linked to the Trump family, this move has faced strong opposition from Democratic lawmakers. Senator Elizabeth Warren and others have announced plans to introduce the "Terminate President's Bank Corruption Act," which, if passed, would prohibit senior government officials from owning or controlling banks. Notably, World Liberty Trust does not intend to become a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is not seeking access to a Federal Reserve master account.
