Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal stated that in response to community calls, the team is advancing a proposal for staking and tokenomics reform. He revealed that Polygon's revenue has achieved a tenfold increase this year, delivering 5k TPS and a 25% reduction in block time, and is now moving towards a block time of less than 1 second, making it the right time for stakers to receive their rightful share.Key points of the proposal include: launching native staking similar to L1 on Polygon PoS, which can run in parallel with Ethereum staking; the priority fee for each transaction will flow to POL stakers (PIP-85 has been approved, and native staking will simplify implementation); staking rewards are expected to nearly double, supported by real network fees rather than inflation; staking POL may earn additional incentives such as discounted Gas fees; sPOL will maintain liquidity and can be used in DeFi. Polygon Labs will write the code and submit the proposal for community forum review.

This week, U.S. cryptocurrency policy has seen intensive progress. The Trump administration has pushed for new advancements in the CLARITY Act, the SEC has proposed a draft of regulatory rules for cryptocurrency assets for the first time, and the CFTC has stated that if congressional legislation stalls, it will promote the establishment of an independent regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market. Trump met with leaders from several cryptocurrency companies at the White House this week and publicly called on Congress to pass a "fair version" of the CLARITY Act. Representatives from Coinbase, a16z, Ripple, Kraken, and other industry participants attended the meeting, focusing on the bill's impact on U.S. jobs, innovation, and attracting cryptocurrency companies back. Currently, the main obstacles to advancing the bill are concentrated on certain ethical clauses. Trump believes that the relevant provisions may target individuals, but industry insiders are pushing both sides to find a compromise to facilitate bipartisan support.CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that the CLARITY Act is key to avoiding regulatory uncertainty. If Congress continues to delay, the CFTC will use its existing authority to formulate regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency asset market. Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC has officially proposed a "Crypto Assets Rule Framework," planning to allow certain cryptocurrency financing to be exempt from full securities registration under specific conditions, including a cumulative financing cap of $5 million over four years or an annual limit of $75 million, and providing conditional safe harbor for certain token projects. Additionally, the SEC is considering limiting certain state securities registration requirements to provide a clearer compliance path for U.S. cryptocurrency companies. Market participants believe that recent actions by U.S. regulators indicate that Washington is shifting from a previous enforcement-based regulatory model to establishing a systematic regulatory framework for cryptocurrency assets.On the other hand, former Signature Bank Chairman Scott Shay has launched the N3XT Digital Dollar (NDD) digital dollar deposit project, attempting to challenge the stablecoin market. NDD operates on a public blockchain, enabling 24/7 dollar transfers, and is backed one-to-one by cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Shay stated that banks can leverage blockchain technology to create a payment system similar to stablecoins while maintaining the dollar credit advantage of the traditional financial system. The project is seen as a new attempt by banks to respond to the expansion of stablecoins. Additionally, the cryptocurrency investment market is entering a new cycle. Dragonfly partner Rob Hadick stated that although AI is attracting significant capital, cryptocurrency startup activity is still recovering, and future predictions of market, institutional applications, and improvements in U.S. regulation may drive new growth in the industry.

According to Decrypt, Michael Selig, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that if the Clarity Act continues to be stalled due to Democratic obstruction, the CFTC will use its existing authority to begin establishing a regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market and has instructed staff to expedite the formal rule proposal.Selig has asked staff to explore incorporating the digital asset market structure into CFTC rules, which may include both existing CFTC-registered entities and currently unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges under its regulatory scope.Rules tailored for digital assets may allow for leveraged and margin trading. Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $606 million, marking a new single-day high since May 1; Ethereum ETFs had a net inflow of $219 million, reaching a new high since September 2025. In the past 24 hours, the amount of short liquidations in the cryptocurrency market exceeded $1.2 billion, approaching $5 billion over the past two days.
