According to CoinDesk, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis has released a new methodological proposal aimed at establishing a unified on-chain fund tracking standard framework for law enforcement agencies and investigators, to identify address clusters and determine their possible control relationships.The proposal defines the on-chain analysis structure in the form of "ontology," focusing on systematically breaking down the currently unstandardized concept of "cluster" in the industry into wallet segments and functional roles, and describing on-chain relationships through a two-layer structure: the first layer defines the transaction graph structure, and the second layer assesses inference confidence.Chainalysis stated that the framework aims to enhance the interpretability and legal applicability of on-chain forensic methods, and is designed and validated based on its practical experience in relevant cases within the U.S. Department of Justice, including the analytical application in the mixing service Bitcoin Fog case.The company's Chief Scientist Jacob Illum pointed out that the goal of the proposal is to answer "on what evidence basis can these addresses be considered to belong to the same entity," while emphasizing that on-chain analysis itself cannot directly identify the ultimate user identity and still requires legal investigative methods combined with centralized entities such as exchanges.Chainalysis indicated that the standard proposal is currently open for discussion within the industry, hoping to promote the formation of more unified technical specifications for on-chain analysis methods in the fields of law enforcement and compliance.

Ethlabs published a response on platform X regarding its nonprofit positioning and funding situation, stating that the choice to operate under a nonprofit structure is to focus on the long-term development needs of Ethereum as a "public good" and to maintain the organization's independence and neutrality in research and development.In terms of governance structure, Ethlabs pointed out that its funding comes from large ETH holders and Ethereum ecosystem builders, whose interests are highly aligned with the long-term success of Ethereum, but they will not gain any governance control or participate in roadmap formulation or project prioritization decisions. Ethlabs emphasized that this arrangement is intentionally designed to avoid external funding influencing core directions.At the same time, Ethlabs stated that the future continuous financing mechanism itself is also a form of "accountability mechanism," meaning that only by continuously creating real value for the Ethereum ecosystem can they obtain subsequent funding support, thus forming a long-term feedback loop.Regarding funding, Ethlabs revealed that it is currently in the final stages of financing and has not disclosed specific amounts, but the committed funds already obtained are expected to support an operational cycle of 2 to 3 years and cover the recruitment needs for top talent. Ethlabs emphasized its positioning as a long-term project, not a one-time funding plan.

According to Crypto in America, the U.S. Senate will recess until July 13, and the advancement of the CLARITY Act depends on the progress of behind-the-scenes coordination over the next two weeks. Staff from both parties, government officials, and industry stakeholders are working to resolve remaining differences, including reconciling text discrepancies between the Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee, as well as reaching consensus on ethical standards and provisions to combat illegal financial activities.The bill requires the support of at least 60 senators to pass. Even if all 53 Republican votes are in favor, at least 7 Democratic senators will need to join; the support of the majority of Democrats may depend on whether the White House can agree to establish a strong ethical framework regarding issues related to Trump's cryptocurrency business. According to Reuters, since Trump's return to the White House, his cryptocurrency business has generated over $2 billion in new wealth for him.Additionally, major law enforcement groups still oppose the inclusion of provisions from the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act in the bill, arguing that it would increase the difficulty of investigating and prosecuting on-chain crimes. Remaining discrepancies in the Agriculture Committee's text include issues such as the prioritization of federal law over state law, management of conflicts of interest in exchanges, and restrictions on related-party transactions. Sources indicate that the parties have not yet reached a final agreement, and there remains uncertainty about whether the Senate vote can be completed before the August recess.

According to CoinDesk, Wall Street broker Bernstein pointed out in a recent report that the rapid integration of the market technology stack is increasing the likelihood of a new round of mergers and acquisitions in the field of sports event contracts and financial markets.The report states that in the past eight months, major prediction platforms have been developing towards simultaneously controlling customer distribution and exchange infrastructure. Although Kalshi and Polymarket have core technology stacks, their distribution capabilities are relatively lagging, making them potential acquisition targets.Recent actions include DraftKings acquiring Railbird to launch DKeX, Robinhood collaborating with Susquehanna to create Rothera, and Coinbase acquiring The Clearing Company. Bernstein believes that Robinhood and Coinbase are currently in a relatively advantageous position in the competitive landscape, as both have large consumer user bases and fully owned regulated infrastructures, while Kalshi and Polymarket are viewed as potential acquisition targets due to their lack of large-scale distribution capabilities.

The Ethereum Layer2 project Taiko announced that the attack path that occurred on June 21 has been blocked, and the related fixes have been reviewed by independent security experts, ensuring that user funds will not suffer losses.The team has developed a four-step restart plan: the first step is to deploy the fix and confirm the final state of the chain is correct, ensuring there are no forged checkpoints or claim paths that can be exploited by attackers, which will be reviewed by the Security Council; the second step is to replenish the cross-chain bridge funds, ensuring that L2 assets are fully backed 1:1, and that anyone can verify on-chain; the third step is to restore network operation, reopening transfer, exchange, and trading functions on L2; the fourth step is for the Security Council to submit a proposal to lift the suspension of the cross-chain bridge after confirming that the chain can achieve stable final confirmation and the network operates stably.Users will then be free to transfer funds between Taiko and other chains, and the team will implement a conservative withdrawal limit as an additional safety measure, but it is expected that there will be no restrictions on users' normal asset transfers.
