Соучредитель NEAR Protocol Илья Полосухин в интервью на саммите Digital Asset Summit 2026 в Сингапуре заявил, что с расширением цепочных услуг на near.com пользователям больше не нужны централизованные биржи для "массовой" криптовалютной активности. Он отметил, что near.com "почти готов", и у него есть "большая дорожная карта с постоянным добавлением функций", включая банковские выводы, торговые записи для налогообложения и выборочную раскрытие конфиденциальных сделок. Он также упомянул о своем опыте использования централизованных бирж, сказав, что, несмотря на знакомство с CEO компании, один из его аккаунтов все равно был удален.near.com интегрирует кросс-цепочные спотовые сделки, токенизированные акции, финансовые продукты и бессрочные контракты в одном интерфейсе. Полосухин отметил, что большая часть инфраструктуры NEAR Intents была перенесена на конфиденциальные шардирования, торговая активность остается приватной, и пользователи могут раскрывать отдельные сделки по мере необходимости. Он сказал, что near.com также готовит множество функций, связанных с фиатными валютами, и упомянул о сотрудничестве NEAR с Monerium, позволяющем пользователям конвертировать евро и EURe на своих банковских счетах через IBAN. Конечная цель NEAR Intents — обработка "любых активов в любые активы", например, долларов США к евро, сингапурских долларов к гонконгским долларам.Что касается токенизированных акций, то near.com завершил интеграцию с Ondo Finance в сентябре, позволяя пользователям конвертировать евро в токенизированные акции Nvidia, и NEAR планирует добавить больше акций с глобальных рынков.

Согласно сообщению The Block, соучредитель децентрализованной платформы для бессрочной торговли Hyperliquid Джефф Ян в ходе беседы у камина на Корейской неделе блокчейна 2026 заявил, что круглосуточная непрерывная торговля не является сущностным отличием между ончейн торговыми площадками и традиционными биржами. Он отметил, что криптовалюты изначально не обязаны следовать традиционному времени открытия рынка, поскольку такие активы по своей природе имеют международный характер, и некоторые традиционные биржи уже начали активно продлевать свои торговые часы.Ян подчеркнул, что более устойчивая ценность ончейн финансов заключается в том, что пользователи продолжают сохранять контроль над своими средствами и правами на хранение, что помогает избежать распространенной проблемы единой точки отказа. По его мнению, как только возникают проблемы у контрагентов, посредников или даже у хранителей, способность к самостоятельному хранению становится особенно важной.Кроме того, прозрачность является еще одной яркой характеристикой ончейн торговли. Хотя она не обладает сильной привлекательностью для обычных потребителей, она необходима для установления доверия ко всей системе, поскольку в системе, контролируемой одной частной организацией, пользователи не могут получить аналогичную степень доверия и нейтральности.Он также упомянул, что для активов, у которых отсутствуют публичные цены в период закрытия традиционных бирж, непрерывная торговля по-прежнему имеет свою необходимость, и привел в качестве примера товары, акции и сделки по Pre-IPO, которые были заключены на Hyperliquid до открытия рынка внебиржевых ссылок, чтобы продемонстрировать реальный спрос.

Bankless co-founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform that after liquidating ETH, he immediately invested about 50% of the funds into VVV, NEAR, ZEC, and HYPE; the remaining 50% of the funds will be gradually invested as cash reserves through dollar-cost averaging, and has been fully used to buy LIT.On May 21, Bankless co-founder David Hoffman announced that he had liquidated all ETH. He then posted a detailed explanation of the reasons for liquidating Ethereum spot, emphasizing that this decision was not made on a whim.David stated that the grand narrative of "ETH is money" has not failed, but has been fully priced and played out to its rightful conclusion— the Ethereum network has achieved a valuation that matches its current accomplishments, but the ETH asset itself is unlikely to be repriced by the market, whether upwards or downwards. He remains extremely optimistic about the Ethereum network, believing that the ecosystem will be exceptionally prosperous, but only a small portion of these successes will continue to be reflected in the price of ETH.

According to CoinDesk, Bittensor co-founder Ala Shaabana stated at the Proof of Talk summit in Paris that Bitcoin's computing power exceeds that of the top 100 supercomputers in the world combined by 600,000 times, demonstrating the scale of distributed computing.Shaabana pointed out that true computing power no longer belongs to isolated corporate data centers, but to open, global networks. Shaabana believes that through programmatic goal setting, open networks attract talent and computing power far more efficiently than traditional enterprises. The long-term bullish logic is no longer primarily based on technology, but driven by debt, liquidity, and a decline in trust in traditional sovereign systems.

The blockchain security agency PeckShield has issued an alert stating that Gnosis Pay is currently undergoing a security attack. Meanwhile, Gnosis co-founder Martin Köppelmann has publicly urged users to immediately withdraw their GNO and EURe assets to mitigate potential risks.Market analysis indicates that Gnosis Pay, as an important infrastructure connecting payment scenarios with on-chain assets, may face short-term selling pressure on Gnosis GNO and the euro stablecoin EURe if it is confirmed that funds have been stolen or protocol vulnerabilities exploited, further affecting market sentiment for Gnosis ecosystem-related projects.Currently, the official has not disclosed the scale of the attack, the amount of losses, or specific technical details, and the situation is still developing. Users holding related assets or using Gnosis Pay services should closely monitor official follow-up announcements and assess their risk exposure in a timely manner.

Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani recently stated that Hyperliquid is essentially just a "Binance 2.0 without a marketing team."Samani believes that Hyperliquid made a lot of technical decisions during its development that are suitable for centralized systems but difficult to adapt to a permissionless decentralized environment. He stated that these architectural choices have caused the project to lag behind some competitors in its development towards decentralization.In addition, Samani pointed out that as the regulatory environment changes, the requirements for partners from compliant companies in the U.S. are increasing, and Hyperliquid's current model may face more challenges. He further stated that real American companies today would no longer choose to collaborate with it.Recently, Hyperliquid has become the market focus due to the continuous rise of the HYPE token and increasing trading volume, but discussions surrounding its level of decentralization, governance model, and regulatory risks are also heating up.

According to The Block, OpenZeppelin co-founder Manuel Aráoz stated that he now believes "all DeFi is unsafe," and he has advised friends and family to exit all DeFi positions, including Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound.

In response to Bankless founder David Hoffman's liquidation of ETH, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform stating that "ETH is Money" is the correct narrative, just different from most people's understanding.Hayden Adams stated that in the future, all assets will be tokenized, and people will hold the assets they value most, while the most decentralized monetary system will manifest as "an infinite form of currency competing with each other." He believes that with a low-cost, high-efficiency, 24/7 asset exchange system, there is no need for a single unit of account. He also claimed that Ethereum-based Uniswap is "the best decentralized monetary system," and it is still in its early stages.

SpaceX officially announced that Fram2 mission commander and F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun (@satofishi) will board Starship to execute the company's first crewed interplanetary flight mission.This mission is planned to last approximately two years, with the spacecraft flying out of the Earth-Moon system, passing by Mars before returning to Earth, marking an important milestone in commercial crewed deep space exploration. Wang Chun has previously funded and served as commander to complete the Fram2 polar orbit flight mission, becoming the first entrepreneur to fully fund and personally participate in two commercial crewed space missions.

AllianceDAO co-founder Wang Qiao stated that ZEC's conservative target is to reach 3% - 5% of BTC's market capitalization, as BTC holders will allocate some assets to ZEC as a hedging tool; the more aggressive target is to reach 15% - 20% of BTC, which is the exchange rate level of silver relative to gold.Wang Qiao also believes that if a catastrophic event occurs with BTC, such as a large sell-off by Saylor or a quantum attack, ZEC has the opportunity to surpass BTC. ZEC has risen over 25% in the past month, with a market capitalization exceeding $10 billion. As of the time of writing, ZEC's market capitalization is reported at $10.9 billion, while Bitcoin's market capitalization is approximately $1.54 trillion. If ZEC can achieve this prediction, there is still a potential for a 3 - 6 times increase.

According to French media "Le Journal du Dimanche," Sebastien Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, experienced a kidnapping attempt this week at his residence in Villenoy, Seine-et-Marne, France.The report states that a man disguised as a courier arrived at the front door, and after Borget's wife opened the door, five masked accomplices rushed into the yard, attempting to forcibly drag her into a vehicle. Neighbors intervened after hearing her cries for help, and the suspects subsequently fled the scene. Two suspects have already been arrested, while four others remain at large. Police found fake guns, zip ties, and hoods on the arrested individuals.

Adams indicated that he will transition to a supportive role to continue providing assistance to Bankless.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko publicly supports the development of a native perpetual contract DEX on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), directly challenging Hyperliquid's leading position in on-chain derivatives trading.Anatoly believes that Solana needs to build its own perpetual contract infrastructure with atomic composability, showing that the ecosystem views perpetual contracts as key to retaining user activity and on-chain trading volume. Specific project details or launch timelines have not yet been disclosed. In recent months, a large volume of perpetual contract trading has migrated to Hyperliquid, which has become the dominant protocol in the on-chain perpetual contract space.Meanwhile, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeffrey Yan is in Washington engaging with policymakers on regulatory pathways, including discussions around the CLARITY Act legislation concerning crypto derivatives regulation, which could provide an advantage to Hyperliquid if the bill passes. The Solana native alternative will directly compete by leveraging its speed and cost advantages, but Hyperliquid's existing network effects and liquidity create high barriers to entry.

The co-founder of the crypto platform Forsage, Olena Oblamska, pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud after being extradited from Thailand to the United States. Forsage launched in January 2020, marketing itself to retail investors worldwide as a smart contract-based DApp investment platform. The U.S. Department of Justice accused the platform of using smart contracts on Ethereum, Tron, and BNB Chain to automatically redirect funds from new participants to early investors, constituting a Ponzi and pyramid scheme.Blockchain analysis shows that over 80% of Forsage investors received less cryptocurrency than they deposited, and over 50% received no returns at all. The scam defrauded victims from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America of approximately $340 million. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had previously filed a civil lawsuit against those involved in August 2022.

Anatoly Yakovenko (toly), co-founder of Solana Labs, responded to discussions about the decentralization level of Hyperliquid, stating that he has raised the same criticism for all L2s: the key to determining whether a system is permissionless lies in whether users can participate in any part of the protocol stack using their own resources without approval from a trusted third party.If they cannot, it is not permissionless. Toly stated that no matter what users do, they cannot run the Base sequencer or the Hyperliquid sequencer, so this is the same issue he criticized with L2s.
