🚨 @okx's World Cup Outcome Market is entering its final stretch. Users pick winners across a stacked board of outcomes, earning XP with every selection. That XP converts to BTC once the tournament wraps. No deposit or bridging required. Spain vs France kicks off shortly, with England vs Argentina completing the semi-final picture before the final. The board updates in real time as results come in.

NEAR is closing in on deflation, not there yet @NEARProtocol says its token buybacks are accelerating toward the point where they outpace new issuance. The engine is the Intents fees that buy NEAR on the open market, and last year's halving cut inflation to 2.5%. Capture rate has jumped from roughly 12% lifetime to near 30% over the past week. Cumulative Intents volume just passed $22 billion. The trajectory is real, but the threshold isn't crossed yet.

Tomorrow's a big one. DTCC, the backbone of US markets with $114T in custody, begins its first production trades of tokenized equities, ETFs and Treasuries. SEC-cleared, BlackRock and Goldman onboard. The backbone of US markets goes on-chain. Huge.

@Crypt0Senseii @ecb It seems like everyone wants a piece of the pie 😅

@BSCNews @ecb The race for digital payments infrastructure is definitely heating up.

Europe's digital euro pilot gets its 36 firms The @ecb selected 36 payment providers for its digital euro pilot, from Deutsche Bank and UniCredit to Revolut and Stripe. The beta trial runs 12 months from late 2027, with potential issuance in 2029 if the legislation lands. Part of the pitch is defensive: cut Europe's reliance on US payment rails and answer dollar-backed stablecoins like $USDT and $USDC gaining ground onshore. A public euro against private dollars. The fight over who settles Europe's payments is on.

@leeky_k_crypt @linuxfoundation They have knowledge, makes sense 🤓

@BSCNews @linuxfoundation Stellar sitting next to Visa and Google on this one, real validation.

Stellar joins the x402 Foundation as a premier member The Stellar Development Foundation is now a Premier member of the x402 Foundation, the Linux Foundation (@linuxfoundation) body stewarding the open standard for payments over HTTP. x402 lets apps and AI agents pay for services as easily as they exchange data. It puts @StellarOrg alongside the likes of Coinbase, Circle, Visa, Google and Stripe in shaping how agentic payments get standardized.

Ethereum's biggest treasuries are funding its privacy layer EthSystems (@eth_systems) launched today to build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum, spun out of the Foundation's Institutional Privacy Task Force. Backers: Bitmine (@BitMNR) and @Sharplink, the two largest ethereum:native treasury companies, plus Joe Lubin. The pitch is selective disclosure, so banks can run stablecoins, bonds and settlement onchain without every trade in public view. A year of open-source research behind it, and the paid work starts now. That's the trio's third Foundation spinout, after Ethlabs and Ethereum Institutional. The ETH treasuries aren't just holding the asset anymore. They're building the stack around it.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Rules Out Federal Bailouts For Crypto Industry Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh confirms the central bank will not provide liquidity backstops or bailouts for cryptocurrency and stablecoin firms. During a recent hearing, Warsh emphasized a "no-bailout" stance for the next four years, stating the Federal Reserve intends to exit the bailout business entirely to avoid moral hazard. "So I want to be very clear. We are going to do everything we can to mitigate those sorts of extraordinary risks. If and when they were to come in the next four years, we want to be in a position where we are not bailing out anybody, including crypto," he said when asked about the previous administration providing a liquidity function for money market funds. The Chairman’s directive specifically addresses the growing $300B stablecoin market, clarifying that while the Fed seeks to mitigate "extraordinary risks," firms must operate without the expectation of a federal safety net.

SUNUSI The African Bull Tanks After So Much Promise... After so much hype in the web3 space, particularly in Africa, $SUNUSI, the African Bull (@SunusiMinjibir), has dropped nearly 90% in the last 24 hours. Filled with so much promise, due to the traction gained from the $ANSEM memecoin, SUNUSI jumped to an all-time high of nearly 3.75M. As of writing, the token is trading at 57K, prompting questions about a potential rugpull, despite claims about a compromised wallet from the team. Will there be another ANSEM on @Solana?

This includes holdings across @OKX, @Bitget, @Gate, @MEXC, @Pionex, @LBank_Exchange, and @krakenfx. Gate has the largest number of holdings, with over $20M in value. The amount accounts for less than 0.05 of the total circulating supply. With more unlocks, Pioneers are expected to shift their holdings to exchanges. In the meantime, it looks as though the community is happy to hold their assets.

@X_Four_iv @SenLummis True.

@BSCNews @SenLummis Sounds like a step in the right direction for keeping things secure and on solid ground.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) confirms Clarity ACT bill text will be introduced in the next few days. The bill focuses on helping law enforcement fight illicit finance, enacting consumer protections, and keeping markets onshore in the U.S.

@BSCNews Biggest monthly CPI drop since 2020, that's a real number to watch.

US Inflation Cools To 3.5% As June CPI Beats Expectations US inflation drops to 3.5% in June, significantly lower than the anticipated 3.8% consensus. The data show a 0.4% month-over-month decline, the most significant monthly drop in consumer prices since May 2020. Core CPI also shows a marked deceleration to 2.6% against expectations of 2.8%. U.S. stock markets are surging following their largest monthly decline since April 2020.

@OKNexusExchange what is coming?
