According to a report by Politico, a document submitted by the European Commission to member states and the European Parliament shows that the EU is assessing the possibility of incorporating the cryptocurrency industry into a unified tax system to find new sources of fiscal revenue for the 2028-2034 budget cycle.The document estimates that if a tax rate of 0.1% is applied to cryptocurrency transaction volumes, it could bring in about 3 billion to 4 billion euros in revenue for the EU each year; if capital gains from cryptocurrencies are taxed, it is expected to increase fiscal revenue by about 1 billion to 2.4 billion euros annually.However, the European Commission also pointed out that due to the still inadequate data related to the cryptocurrency industry, there is significant uncertainty in the current revenue forecasts, and the actual results may differ from the estimates.The relevant proposal is still in the evaluation stage, and to be formally implemented, it requires unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states. If progress goes smoothly, this will become one of the most important discussions on unified tax policy for the cryptocurrency industry in the EU.

Aave Labs has released an ARFC proposal, suggesting the establishment of a standardized technical asset listing framework for Aave V3, V4, and Aave Horizon, setting unified technical requirements for asset listing, parameter expansion, and ongoing monitoring. The framework covers core areas such as ERC20 compatibility, oracles, permission control, minting and burning logic, pause and blacklist mechanisms, upgradability, exchange rates and yield mechanisms, token architecture, cross-chain bridge risks, audit and security history, and external dependencies. This framework does not replace market risk analysis and governance judgment but provides a technical qualification baseline.The framework aims to address "hidden risks" such as unlimited issuance, weak upgrade permissions, inconsistent bridging supply, opaque redemption paths, and reliance on off-chain custody. These issues may directly threaten the protocol's solvency, liquidation systems, and collateral parameter security. The framework particularly emphasizes additional scrutiny for cross-chain assets, yield-bearing assets, and off-chain dependent assets such as RWAs, including bridge structures, off-chain legal arrangements, custody mechanisms, and supply integrity. Assets with significant technical flaws may face reduced borrowing limits, restricted collateral parameters, delayed launches, or even recommendations to deny access to the protocol in the future.

According to the latest report from BlockBeats, as the demand for trading traditional financial assets increases among crypto users, Gate is accelerating the evolution of its crypto trading platform into a multi-asset comprehensive financial platform through the "Unified Account" system. Users can trade and allocate five major types of assets within the Gate App, including CFD contracts, perpetual contracts, spot tokens, Pre-IPOs, and crypto assets, further reducing the barriers to cross-platform capital allocation and trading.The report points out that Gate has currently built a unified margin system around TradFi and on-chain assets. Users can conduct cross-product trading through a single USDT account, enhancing capital efficiency. As of May 2026, Gate has launched over 440 CFD targets, covering asset classes such as foreign exchange, metals, global stock indices, popular stocks, and commodities, while maintaining a high frequency of new listings. Additionally, Gate has partnered with platforms like Ondo and xStocks to launch over 75 tokenized stock targets, supporting 24-hour trading of on-chain metal assets such as gold and silver, continuously expanding its layout in the tokenized stock and RWA market.Furthermore, Gate recently launched the SpaceX Pre-IPO project SPCX, with applications for purchasing shares exceeding $353 million within 24 hours, reflecting the rapidly growing market demand for on-chain Pre-IPO asset allocation. In the future, Gate will continue to promote the layout of the next-generation comprehensive financial platform around the unified account, on-chain infrastructure, and global liquidity network.

According to official news, Circle announced that it has submitted a comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regarding the implementation rules of the GENIUS Act, outlining 6 core points:The U.S. standard should become the global benchmark: Strengthen international trust and institutional export capability of the U.S. dollar stablecoin;Stablecoins should serve as a unified payment tool: Avoid market fragmentation that affects liquidity and settlement efficiency;Consumer protection is paramount: Ensure that holders can redeem assets at face value at any time;Fair competition regulatory framework: Banks and non-bank issuers should be under the same regulatory boundary;Strengthen systemic risk management: Cover liquidity, credit, operational, and compliance risks;Distinguish between stablecoins and tokenized deposits: The functions of the two are different and should be regulated separately.

Miles Jennings, the policy head and general counsel of a16z Crypto, and others wrote "Getting prediction market regulation right," which points out that the current push by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to reform the regulatory framework for prediction markets is at a critical juncture, as prediction markets are transitioning from niche products to important infrastructure.With the integration of AI and blockchain-driven new risk management models, prediction markets can enable AI agents to automatically hedge risks, adjust on-chain event contract positions in real-time, and play a core role in risk management, information aggregation, and authenticity judgment. a16z Crypto believes that if the regulatory framework is too conservative, it will limit the development potential of prediction markets. Therefore, they have submitted a comment letter providing opinions on key issues such as the application of statutory core principles and CFTC regulations in prediction markets, and public interest considerations related to event contracts. They also proposed five regulatory recommendations for prediction markets, including: the CFTC implementing unified regulatory authority over event contracts, optimizing contract dispute resolution mechanisms, strengthening monitoring of insider trading and market manipulation, re-evaluating "special rules," and exploring clearer compliance pathways for on-chain prediction markets.

According to Cointelegraph, bipartisan lawmakers in the United States jointly announced the "PACE Act," which aims to create a unified national payment license for fintech companies and cryptocurrency companies, to be regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

According to market news, Circle has launched a new solution for high-frequency USDC payments across blockchains. Developers can use the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to have local fulfillers make advance payments on the recipient's designated chain, with the platform later completing cross-chain settlement.This model can reduce the operational burden caused by individual cross-chain transfers and is suitable for platforms that handle a large number of payments daily. Compared to the traditional CCTP process of destroying and minting USDC one by one, the new solution supports batch settlement, reduces the number of destructions on the source chain, and eliminates the need for signature infrastructure on the target chain. Circle also demonstrated the process based on the Arc Testnet and Ethereum Sepolia.

According to a report by Reuters, the European Central Bank recently stated its support for the European Commission's push to transfer regulatory authority over systemically important cross-border financial market participants, such as cryptocurrency service providers, major trading venues, central counterparties, and central securities depositories, from national regulators to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). This initiative aims to deepen the integration of the EU capital markets and enhance overall competitiveness.The European Central Bank suggested that the ESMA Board establish a non-voting central bank seat and emphasized that ESMA needs to obtain sufficient resources and personnel to smoothly take over the new responsibilities. The relevant proposal will be negotiated by EU member states and the European Parliament, and it is expected to take several months to finalize legislation.

According to Crypto Briefing, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently stated on CNBC that he supports the development of blockchain technology but emphasizes that stablecoin rewards should adhere to the same regulatory standards as traditional banking products. He believes that any company holding customer funds and paying interest is essentially engaged in banking and should be subject to appropriate regulation.Dimon suggested that rewards could be offered on transactions rather than balances as a compromise. Currently, the Senate Agriculture Committee has passed parts of the market structure bill, which aims to clarify the jurisdiction of the SEC and CFTC, requiring customer funds to be segregated and proof of reserves.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the establishment of the Platform Team, aimed at building the most powerful Ethereum platform possible, enabling better support for users, applications, and all organizations built on Ethereum at both the L1 and L2 layers.Improving the relationship between L1 and L2 layers to create a mutually reinforcing system across various levels. The Foundation stated that since the introduction of the rollup-centric roadmap five years ago, a chain ecosystem has developed around the Ethereum L1 layer. The early rollup mindset has been replaced by differentiated L2 layer networks, each possessing unique and valuable economic systems, thereby extending Ethereum's core characteristics to millions of users.As Ethereum matures, the Foundation believes that more measures must be taken to build a unified platform that can fully leverage the unique advantages of the Ethereum system (L1 + L2). This includes enhancing the value proposition of L2, optimizing the adoption drivers for L2, enabling it to create value for Ethereum more broadly, guiding the ecosystem towards a more secure, permissionless architecture, and simplifying the process for users and institutions to adopt Ethereum.More importantly, building a strong Ethereum means driving technological improvements to reinforce and enhance Ethereum's core characteristics and unique advantages.

According to The Block, Coinbase's incubated Ethereum Layer 2 network Base has announced its separation from Optimism's Superchain ecosystem, shifting to a unified tech stack operated by Base, and abandoning external dependencies on OP Stack as well as Flashbots and Paradigm.This change aims to reduce the coordination overhead of maintaining code across multiple teams, simplifying the system through optimizations based on open-source components like Reth, while maintaining the "Stage 1" rollup status. It plans to be temporarily compatible with OP Stack, but future hard forks will require migration to the new Base client. The upcoming hard fork includes Base V1 (supporting Fusaka and switching to TEE/ZK proofs), and subsequent versions will synchronize with the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade; the blog emphasizes the protocol's openness and welcomes alternative implementations.

According to The Block, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network Base announced that it will no longer rely on Optimism's OP Stack and Superchain architecture, instead opting for a "unified stack" operated independently by Base.According to the official blog, Base will integrate core components that were previously scattered across multiple teams and code repositories (including key modules like the sequencer) into a unified codebase "base/base" to reduce coordination and maintenance costs, and to optimize deeply for its own needs.At the same time, Base will also reduce its external dependencies on Flashbots, Paradigm, and others. In terms of governance, Base will adjust the security committee structure, replacing the original Optimism-related seats with newly added independent signers.Despite the shift towards an autonomous technical architecture, Base stated that the protocol will remain open source and publicly standardized, welcoming third-party developers to create independent clients and maintain cross-upgrade compatibility. Base is currently the largest network in the OP Stack Superchain ecosystem.
