US LAWMAKERS INTRODUCE DIGITAL ASSET REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

The “Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025,” introduced by Representative French Hill with bipartisan support, establishes a clear regulatory framework by delineating SEC and CFTC oversight roles for various digital assets. The bill mandates accurate disclosures of project operations, ownership, and structure, and imposes stringent compliance standards on brokers and dealers. It also creates comprehensive registration regimes to legally authorize digital asset firms to serve U.S. customers.

10-DAY US BITCOIN ETF INFLOW STREAK WITH $4.26 BILLION INFLOW

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to ten days through May 28, attracting a net $4.26 billion. It is driven overwhelmingly by BlackRock's IBIT, which brought in $481 million and accounted for 96% of the total. IBIT has now gone 33 consecutive days without outflows and its AUM has climbed to $72 billion, cementing its dominance since the category's January 2024 debut. Trading volumes remain elevated, with $3.4 billion in ETF trades on May 28 as Bitcoin consolidates near $108,500. Spot Ethereum ETFs are on their eighth straight day of inflows, adding $84.9 million on Wednesday and bringing cumulative flows to $2.9 billion.

03INNOVATION & LAUNCHES

EIGENLAYER ENABLES SLASHED FUND REDISTRIBUTION TO AVSS

EigenLayer will soon allow slashed funds to be redirected to Actively Validated Services (AVSs) rather than burned, enabling stakers to underwrite not just operator risk but new financial risks with potentially higher rewards. This shift introduces broader financial applications beyond EigenLayer's original vision, creating a new frontier where stakers must carefully assess risk-reward profiles.

04GUIDES & TUTORIALS

MICHAEL SAYLOR'S STRATEGY EXPLAINED

MicroStrategy and similar firms are issuing convertible debt or equity-like instruments to borrow funds and deploy the proceeds into Bitcoin, offering investors a familiar, regulated way to gain exposure without self-custody. Investors prefer these instruments over direct Bitcoin purchases due to ease of access, regulatory allowances, and reduced technical risk. If Bitcoin's price declines, companies face haircuts, renegotiations, or bankruptcy – leaving investors holding Bitcoin – and there's a risk that issuers may misrepresent their actual holdings.

BEST STABLECOIN YIELDS ISSUE #9

The top 10 stablecoin yield strategies range from MEV-driven vaults (12.6% APY) and Pendle LP positions (up to 24% APY) to leveraged borrowing on Morpho (20% net APR) and fxSAVE's wrapped stability pool (13% APY with up to ~33% APR at 5× leverage). Other highlights include protocol-specific opportunities, like Basis's sUSDe (6.8% weekly) and wstUSR (10% weekly), Reservoir's srUSD pools (15–25% APR plus multiplier points), and Liquity's stability pool enhanced by airdrops from friendly forks. Complex yield architectures emerge through composable, on-chain incentives like Euler's high-liquidity campaigns, Reservoir x Beraborrow LP looping (up to ~147% APR), and Falcon's fixed 11.12% for 119 days. EtherFi's collateral-backed card solution (~21% APR plus cashback) is a compelling option for users looking to spend their crypto.

COINBASE SIGNS SF LEASE FOUR YEARS AFTER PAYING $25M TO LEAVE

Coinbase will lease 150,000 square feet in San Francisco's Mission Rock, marking its largest office since paying a $25 million fee to exit its previous HQ and embracing a remote-first model. After a two-year site search, the company will occupy more than half of the newly built Building B developed by Tishman Speyer and the Giants. Coinbase offers remote flexibility to most of its roughly 3,800 employees and carries $132.3 million in global office liabilities. The deal emphasizes Coinbase's optionality and “decentralized” ethos.

DISTRIBUTED PROTOCOLS WITH SMART CASUAL VERIFICATION

Smart casual verification blends the strengths of formal math-based checks with everyday software testing to catch bugs in complex distributed systems. For the Confidential Consortium Framework (CCF), the Decentralized Thoughts team first wrote a concise “model” of their custom consensus process using TLA+, a tool that can automatically look for logic errors. By exhaustively and randomly exploring a finite-state TLA+ model of their Raft-derived algorithm, they uncovered six subtle bugs before deployment. This approach of combining model checking with practical trace validation delivers strong confidence in the protocol's correctness without requiring formal proving.
