Shiba Inu’s layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, has seen a quiet 24-hour period with transaction activity and network fees at relatively low levels. In the past day, the Shibarium network had a total of 1,002 transactions, generating $0.0017 in total transaction fees according to a recent tweet by Shibariumnet. Low transaction counts and near-zero fee generation suggest that activity is present but not yet translating into meaningful economic throughput.

U.S. crypto firms can offer perpetual futures contracts, or “perps,” without running afoul of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to the agency’s first approval of an unnamed exchange to list and trade bitcoin perpetuals, the regulator said on Friday. The perp is a kind of derivative that allows the investor to speculate on future price movements in a crypto asset without putting an expiration date on that contract, allowing it to be held as long as the investor wants. With this first approval on a registered platform, the U.S. derivatives regulator with a long history overseeing traditional crypto…

Binance has officially confirmed via Twitter that its Fully Paid Securities Lending (FPSL) service will launch on June 10, after initially announcing a target date of June 4. The service allows users to earn passive income by lending out their stock holdings through the platform.

While Bitcoin recently surpassed $82,000, this upward trend has been the subject of many predictions about a potential bottom. However, even though Bitcoin rose above $82,000, it failed to break above the 200-day moving average, fueling speculation that the bottom may not have been reached yet. While a continued decline is anticipated at this point, K33 Research analysts still believe that BTC’s February low of $60,000 is the bottom. K33 Research stated that Bitcoin’s drop to $60,000 in February marked the bottom of this cycle, and that they expect different outcomes this time due to the failure to break above…

Ethereum has slipped to a key support zone near $1,800 as persistent ETF outflows, geopolitical uncertainty, and a bearish technical breakdown keep traders on the defensive. According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum ($ETH) price was trading around $1,875 at press time on June 3 after briefly touching levels just above the $1,800 support area. The token has now erased most of its gains from the April-May recovery and remains under pressure after sellers forced a decisive breakdown below the $2,000 psychological level. A sustained withdrawal of institutional capital has emerged as one of the main headwinds behind the decline. Data…

Giles Dixon, Head of Global Regulation and Licensing at Tether Holdings, said stablecoins could offer a significant opportunity for South Korea’s export-driven economy to attract more international investment and consumer demand. Speaking at a seminar on global stablecoin trends, Dixon explained that while the country has successfully built worldwide demand for products ranging from K-pop and K-beauty to advanced technology, overseas consumers still face barriers to accessing these goods. Stablecoins as a Gateway for Global Consumers Dixon argued that stablecoins — digital currencies pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar — could serve as a practical tool for improving…

The crypto industry has long treated 2030 as the planning horizon for quantum readiness. Ayo Akinyele, Head of Engineering at RippleX, says that the window may no longer be wide enough. Speaking in a recent interview, Akinyele acknowledged that the standard guidance has been to prepare for 2030 as the point by which blockchain networks should be migrated to quantum-safe cryptography. But recent research findings, particularly work coming out of Google around improvements to Shor’s algorithm, the mathematical tool most associated with breaking classical public key cryptography, have pushed that timeline forward. “We can’t necessarily wait until 2030,” Akinyele said.…

This morning, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) took historic action to permit the listing of a true bitcoin perpetual contract by a CFTC-registered exchange. In doing so, the Commission charted a path for one of the most liquid segments of the crypto asset markets to exist within the U.S. regulatory framework. Having true perpetual contracts in the United States is a major step forward in delivering on President Trump’s goal of cementing America as the crypto capital of the world. Unlike a traditional futures contract, which was designed for markets that close overnight and on weekends, a perpetual contract…

In March, when Meta announced plans to begin paying creators in $USDC across Colombia and the Philippines, with expansion to more than 160 countries expected by the end of the year, the move was widely interpreted as another milestone for stablecoins entering the financial mainstream. A company responsible for nearly $3 billion in annual creator payouts choosing onchain settlement over traditional banking rails is unquestionably significant. What Meta introduced, however, was not a complete payments experience. It was a faster way to move money between accounts. For many users, particularly in emerging markets, the difficult part begins only after the…

Trump Media & Technology Group likely abandoned plans for its bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) because the economics no longer worked. ETF analysts say the company behind Truth Social faced a brutal reality: the spot bitcoin ETF market has become crowded, fees have collapsed and investors already have more than a dozen similar products to choose from. This week, Trump Media withdrew registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the “Truth Social Bitcoin ETF” and “Truth Social Bitcoin & Ethereum ETF,” ending plans to launch the funds. The company described the move as a “structural reset” designed to…
