Bitwise CIO: Tokens are capturing value through buybacks, and the market has yet to reprice

Comparing the news, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan tweeted that the traditional idea that “tokens don't capture value” is out of date. He cited several agreements that are achieving value capture through repurchase and destruction mechanisms: Hyperliquid is using more than 97% of processing fees for repurchases (over $2 billion in total); Pump has destroyed 36% of supply and locked 50% of revenue for destruction; Uniswap has destroyed 107 million UNIs and the fee switch has been turned on; Aave has implemented automated repurchases; Aptos hardtop supplies and destroyed the 10-fold increase in fees; Solana is proposing to increase the cost by 12-14 times . Hougan believes the market has yet to fully reprice these changes.

Franklin Templeton Digital Asset Chief Says AI Agents Are Blockchain's Next Key Use Case

Comparatively, Sandy Kaul, head of digital assets and innovation at investment management firm Franklin Templeton, said that the AI agency economy will increase demand for blockchain protocols to carry machine-to-machine micropayments. Traditional bank card networks are not suitable for proxy payments due to fees and settlement times. Sandy Kaul pointed out that blockchain networks such as Aptos, Solana, and BNB Chain are more suitable for the proxy economy, and their transactions can be settled within seconds, faster than the settlement time of 1 to 3 business days on the Visa network. Payment company Visa and investment verification platform Artemis said in a joint report that traditional bank cards for low-frequency human commercial activities are insufficient to support AI agents; the latter require nearly zero fees and faster settlement. Since its launch in May 2025, the x402 payment protocol developed by Coinbase has reached an adjusted transaction volume of $15 million, and the number of adjusted transactions has exceeded 109 million.

Whose stablecoin will stand on the platform? What does OUSD's “fake collaboration” storm explain?

Author: Chloe, ChainCatcher Original title: OUSD Fake Cooperation Storm? A credit game endorsed by stablecoins and giants Last week, Open Standard launched the US dollar stablecoin OpenUSD (OUSD) and revealed a strong lineup with more than 140 companies standing at the same time, from Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and American Express, to BlackRock, BNY, Standard Chartered, to Google, Shopify, Samsung, Coinbase, Solana, and Ripple. As soon as the news came out, Circle's stock price fell on the same day, but in just a few days, this gorgeous list began to crack. A number of Korean companies came forward to cut OUSD, led by Bridge co-founder Zach Abrams (Bridge was acquired by Stripe in 2024), focusing on three things that are different from existing stablecoins: zero processing fees for minting and redemption, no maximum transaction volume, and returning most of the proceeds from reserve assets to partners driving adoption, rather than being taken by the issuer alone. In terms of governance, it does not have a single controller; instead, partners form a board of directors to make collective decisions. The structure is more like payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard, and plans to launch on the four chains of Solana, Polygon, Aptos, and Stellar first. However, according to a report by the Korean media “North Korea Biz” on July 3, many of the 13 Korean companies on the list came forward to cut. Samsung Electronics said that there have been no formal negotiations between the two sides, and the company doesn't even know what role it wants to play in the alliance. Shinhan Financial Group, Upbit's parent company Dunamu, and K Bank are almost the same: Open Standard only asked “if they are willing to participate,” and their responses were simply “I will evaluate and see,” but the names appeared directly on the official member list. What is even more embarrassing is that some companies said that they only discovered that they were listed through local news. Their initial response was only “I will consider it if everything goes well,” and they are amazed that it was written into the alliance. This question is not limited to South Korea either. Gabor Gurbacs, founder of US OpenAssets, said that several of his clients on the list told him that they had never signed or agreed to anything, and could only speculate that “either the media is seriously distorted, or that this list of participants is misleading.” Objectively speaking, this list is not entirely fictional. Companies such as Mastercard, Stripe, Visa, Coinbase, BlackRock, BNY, and Adyen do indeed have executive endorsements, and Stripe has even stated that it wants OUSD to become the default stablecoin for its platform merchants. The real controversy is that OUSD's model is to share reserve profits, and being listed as a partner is tantamount to enjoying financial benefits. This makes whether or not to participate officially no longer just a matter of PR copywriting, but a real business and reputation issue. Reputation is built up into marketing inertia. In the past, “All-Star League” also fell from heaven and used the fame of giants to stack their momentum. This is a marketing inertia that has been around for a long time in the crypto industry. Chainstory analyzed nearly 3,000 crypto press releases in the second half of 2025. Projects rated as high risk accounted for 35.6% of all published projects, and 26.9% of projects flagged as scams. Together, these questionable categories account for more than 62% of the total number of press releases. Meanwhile, low-risk projects only account for about 27% of the total number of press releases. If you want to talk about how the “All-Star League” fell from heaven, the most classic and apt counterpoint is Facebook's Libra. In the summer of 2019, Facebook made a high-profile announcement with a white paper to launch the stablecoin Libra. The lineup was unprecedented: payment terminals include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe; e-commerce companies include eBay, Shopify, Coinbase in the crypto sector, and even top venture capital such as a16z. Almost half of Silicon Valley is shouting for it. Later, a congressional hearing changed fate. Governments feared that the status of sovereign currencies and the US dollar would be impacted. France was the first to oppose it, while the US Congress fought hard against Facebook's past privacy and data scandals, questioning “why this government...

The Aptos blockchain was revealed to have had a critical vulnerability. The attack cost was only a few hundred dollars, and the team fixed it in a timely manner

On Twitter, according to Coindesk, a white hat hacker from security firm Hexens discovered a vulnerability in the Aptos blockchain, which has been fixed. If exploited maliciously, the vulnerability could expose up to $70 billion of digital assets to systemic risk, including stablecoins and cross-chain bridges. In late February, Hexens researchers reported a serious vulnerability in the Move virtual machine (an execution environment for processing on-chain smart contracts) to the Aptos development team. It indicates that this is an “expired cache bug,” leading to a type confusion vulnerability, where software may be tricked into mistaking one type of on-chain resource for another. The researchers simulated the attack in a real network environment, with a success rate of over 90%. Using a fully configured set of servers (only $3,000), they simulated about one-third of the validator network, and the attack required no insider access or special privileges. The Aptos team fixed the vulnerability as soon as it was discovered without any financial loss.
