“I’ve perceived there’s a lot of misunderstandings about Binance, about myself,” he said. “I’m here to just talk to more people who may want to understand us more, just so that when they see me, they hear from me too, they get a sense of who I am.” The version of CZ who made the rounds earlier this month said he prefers to help founders from the background, rather than be at the center of a headline, he said. And while he said he isn’t involved in the immediate operations of Binance.US, he still suggested that he’s trying to boost…
The market continues to punish Metaplanet’s stock, which has careened by 87% over the trailing 12 months. However, at the same time, Metaplanet has added 27,832 Bitcoin to its balance sheet over the past year. This strategic acquisition spree has more than tripled the firm’s total cryptocurrency stack compared to a year ago. What is notable is that the company remains profitable and is currently trading below its book value, an anomaly that Zynx described as a “gift” for potential investors. Commentator Adam Livingston noted that it is “crazy how much this stock has been crushed despite having little leverage…
Aave founder Stani Kulechov previewed Aavenomics 3.0 on X Thursday, a tokenomics overhaul that would replace the protocol’s existing discretionary buyback program with an automated, non-discretionary on-chain mechanism funded by all protocol and $GHO revenue. The announcement came as Kulechov responded to a CoinDesk report that Kraken parent Payward was in talks to acquire a 15% equity stake in Aave Group at a $385 million valuation. Kulechov disputed the “70% discount” framing in the report while using the moment to lay out Aave’s existing and planned revenue structure for token holders. Aavenomics 3.0 is the consequential part: an automated buyback…

Stablecoin flows have crossed from crypto liquidity into the market map central banks use to track dollar funding. The Bank for International Settlements, in its June 23 Annual Economic Report chapter on innovation beyond stablecoins, argued that private dollar tokens still fall short of the core tests of money. The same official-sector push now sits alongside a working paper estimate that a $3.5 billion, five-day stablecoin inflow can move three-month Treasury bill yields by about four basis points within 10 days. The consequence is practical. Stablecoins are becoming a measurable channel between on-chain dollar demand and the front end of…
The Internet Computer Protocol ($ICP) is a Layer-1 blockchain built by the DFINITY Foundation with one specific goal: let developers build and host entire web applications directly on a decentralized network, with no reliance on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or any other centralized cloud provider. Every part of an app, including the frontend, backend logic, and data storage, runs on-chain. That is what separates $ICP from nearly every other blockchain in use today. What Problem Is $ICP Actually Trying to Solve? Most blockchains today are only partially decentralized. A developer might write a smart contract on Ethereum or Solana,…
Cody Carbone, CEO of the cryptocurrency advocacy group The Digital Chamber, received a largely muted response to his testimony at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on affordability.

Russia plans to expand its restrictions on cryptocurrency mining under a draft proposal that would ban the activity in Moscow, the Moscow region and parts of the Kursk region from July 1, 2026.

Deputy Energy Minister Yevgeny Grabchak previously said officials supported extending mining restrictions to several regions, including Moscow and parts of Kursk. The draft also covers Belovsky, Glushkovsky, Korenevsky, Rylsky,…
Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor brushed off concerns about a potential pivot even as bitcoin continues to tumble, affirming that the company remains focused on the crypto asset. Bitcoin price fell to a low of $58,000 on Thursday, the lowest price since October 2024, bringing its drawdown from last year’s all-time high of over $126,000 to about 52%.
