a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of events, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time estimates of the probabilities of future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets have the ability to update in real-time and incentivize participants to bet their capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.The article points out that prediction markets are used not only by companies for product launches and research experiment forecasts but also by the media as a source of "crowd wisdom," covering a wide range of events from geopolitical issues to AI model performance. Its core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements. However, prediction markets still face challenges related to infrastructure and market design, including event verification, contract settlement, participant information adequacy, and potential manipulation risks.a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets are expected to become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding financial and societal insights into future events.

Hyperliquid's lobbying organization, Hyperliquid Policy Center, issued a statement welcoming the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s latest regulatory initiatives, including the approval of the first listed perpetual contract in the U.S., the release of a policy statement on the listing of perpetual derivatives, related interpretive guidance, and a no-action relief letter, as well as staff consultation documents regarding 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that these initiatives represent the first time in a long while that regulators have explicitly acknowledged the legitimacy and importance of perpetual contracts in price discovery and risk management. It pointed out that past regulatory uncertainty has led to related markets and liquidity flowing overseas, weakening the U.S.'s competitiveness in the global derivatives market.The Hyperliquid Policy Center also expressed its eagerness to work closely with the CFTC to promote the establishment of a regulatory framework that applies not only to centralized intermediaries but also to on-chain protocols. Currently, most perpetual contract trading activities actually occur in on-chain markets.

According to Jinshi reports, the Danish pension fund AkademikerPension has decided to place SpaceX on its "exclusion list" due to concerns about the company's governance. This comes as SpaceX prepares for an IPO and seeks to achieve a valuation of at least $1.8 trillion. According to insiders, the company plans to raise up to $75 billion, which, if successful, would become the largest IPO in history.AkademikerPension manages approximately $25 billion in assets and had previously excluded Tesla (TSLA.O) and U.S. Treasury bonds from its portfolio for sustainability reasons. The fund stated that the "primary reason" for avoiding SpaceX is related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, "especially the company's extremely poor performance in governance matters."The pension fund also added, "That said, if we assess that SpaceX represents a highly attractive investment opportunity, then from an investment return perspective, we cannot justify this decision." "However, as long-term investors, our view is that the company's valuation is already severely inflated."

XRP Ledger developers submitted a draft amendment called "AMM Swappable Curves," which plans to introduce three types of swappable curves for the XRPL native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to be added later. This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose more suitable pricing curves based on asset types, thereby improving capital efficiency.Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is more appropriate for assets that are close to a 1:1 exchange, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and will not require migration. This proposal is seen as an important step in addressing the shortcomings of the DeFi infrastructure on XRPL.Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including a recent pilot for tokenized U.S. Treasury redemptions completed by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, to enable these assets to trade, lend, or generate yield more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed. Nevertheless, this proposal is still in the draft stage and will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which may take several months, and there is still uncertainty about whether it will ultimately pass.

According to official news from Optimism, the OP mainnet has adjusted its transaction sorting rules for the first time starting today. For many years, the sorter only used the "highest priority Gas fee first" mechanism, and now a new priority sorting option based on staking has been added.This experiment will last for four weeks (until June 23) and was approved by the Optimism governance body earlier this month, allowing users to participate voluntarily. The participation condition is to stake no less than 100,000 OP to the PolicyEngine Staking contract.The experiment will be conducted in two phases: the first phase (Week 1) will use FIFO (first in, first out) sorting, and exceeding the minimum staking amount will not affect priority; the second phase (Weeks 2-4) will change to a priority Gas multiplier mechanism weighted by staking duration, where the longer the staking time, the higher the priority.The transaction sorting rules for users who do not participate in the experiment will remain unchanged, and the PGA mechanism will continue to operate as usual.

According to Decrypt, the Digital Chamber has written to OCC Director Jonathan Gould, urging him to stick to the decision to grant national trust bank charters to crypto companies like Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle.Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the approval of these charters of violating the National Bank Act and posing a threat to the safety of the U.S. banking system. The Digital Chamber countered that Congress has effectively authorized the OCC to extend bank charters to stablecoin businesses through the GENIUS Act, and that the approved companies do not accept FDIC-insured deposits, thus not constituting traditional banking operations.
