Cash Cat has announced the launch of its meme coin launchpad, letscash.fun. The project team stated that the platform originated from the community's demand for a fair launch mechanism following the listing of Robinhood Crypto, and was driven by community development.Cash Cat indicated that the platform operates in two modes: In Creator Mode, 70% of tokens go to the creator and 30% to the protocol; in Self-Destruct Mode, similarly, 70% is used to buy and burn tokens. The 30% obtained by the protocol will be used to burn cash-cat:native, increase treasury funds, and support development.The platform is powered by Uniswap v4, employing a permissionless, decentralized mechanism that is immutable after deployment. It is currently undergoing its final security review by Hyacinth Audits and SB Security.
134 officials and executives from U.S. banking associations and banks are urging the Senate to amend Section 10404 of the CLARITY Act before its final passage, in order to strengthen restrictions on the payment of interest and returns on payment stablecoins. The banking representatives hope lawmakers will broaden the scope of these restrictions, preventing companies from providing similar economic benefits for holding stablecoins through rewards, incentives, or other arrangements. They argue that if stablecoins can attract and retain balances through interest-like rewards, the funding base supporting local loans could be weakened by hundreds of billions of dollars. The letter asserts that deposits form the foundation for lending to families, small businesses, farmers, and local employers. The signatories state that clear rules would allow payment stablecoins to develop while preserving access to funding that supports community lending.
Odaily News: Eric Richmond, the new CEO of Coinbase Canada, stated that the exchange aims to provide Canadian users with the same advanced crypto products available in the U.S. market, including derivatives, DeFi services, and tokenized assets. Eric Richmond noted that Canada needs to transition from case-by-case exemptions to a dedicated and coordinated national digital asset regulatory framework to support more complex products. Canada was an early adopter of spot crypto ETFs and has already passed the "Stablecoin Act." He pointed out that, compared to the United States, Canada’s regulatory guidance is progressing more slowly and is more fragmented, which is delaying Canadian retail investors' access to higher-yield lending, broader futures trading, and similar products.

payment company Visa has announced its fiscal third-quarter 2025 revenue of $11.6 billion, a 14% year-over-year increase, driven by double-digit growth in payments volume, cross-border transaction volume, and processed transactions. The company stated that cross-border transaction volume grew 13% year-over-year, or 12% excluding intra-European transactions, while processed transactions increased by 10%. During the earnings call, Visa indicated it is investing in multiple layers of the stablecoin ecosystem, covering blockchain, issuance, wallets, infrastructure, orchestration, and applications. The company noted that during the quarter, it made progress in both the issuance and application layers. Visa has joined the OpenStandard Alliance, which plans to issue an OpenUSD stablecoin for global fund flows. Visa's stablecoin platform aims to support partners in settling with Visa using stablecoins, providing on-chain wallet-as-a-service infrastructure, and facilitating fund transfers between fiat currencies and stablecoins, initially starting with OpenUSD. The platform will also integrate with Pismo to support tokenized deposits for financial institutions and plans to add third-party tokenized deposit infrastructure providers in the future. Visa also stated that stablecoins and AI are complementary technologies, and that agentic commerce will expand its addressable market and drive future growth.
Odaily News: BitcoinTreasuries.NET posted on X platform that Metaplanet's DylanLeclair stated the market did not notice Saylor selling 3,500 Bitcoin until Strategy MSTR released its disclosure document. He also noted that looking back in the future, this will be one of the reasons for STRK’s strong trading performance. Strategy did not issue new shares, and dividends are still being paid.
Fox Business crypto journalist posted on X that former NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood stated last week that credit unions play an important role in modernizing the financial system. A few days later, AmericasCUs, along with credit union leagues in all 50 U.S. states, supported the vast majority of the Clarity Act. However, they echoed the banking industry's concerns regarding the bill's stablecoin yield provisions, urging senators to strengthen the language. These groups believe that the current Tillis-Alsobrooks compromise could still allow for "functionally passive" reward structures, potentially causing deposits to flow out of local credit unions.
: Tokenized asset issuer Ondo Finance has abandoned its traditional Layer 1 blockchain plan and instead launched the Ondo Network. The platform is positioned as a trading network tailored to institutional needs, designed to support private, high-speed trade execution. The network's first application, Ondo Perps, will allow users to trade perpetual futures using tokenized assets as collateral, separating fast, private trade execution from public chain settlement. Ondo Finance has already issued tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds and stocks, and is advancing broader trading infrastructure development against the backdrop of rising Wall Street interest in tokenization and 24/7 markets.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X, stating that Australian brewery Hawkesbury Brewing Co has integrated 16 Bitcoin miners into its brewing operations. By submerging the miners in non-conductive liquid and capturing the waste heat, the system harnesses this energy for the brewing process pipeline, supporting the production of 100,000 liters of beer per month.
Odaily Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a new article introducing Diamond iO, a novel cryptographic obfuscation technique. This technology aims to address the extreme inefficiency of traditional indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) schemes, allowing programs to execute while hiding their internal logic and critical data. Traditional iO technology offers privacy protection but at a high computational cost. Diamond iO, by adopting more aggressive new cryptographic assumptions, improves computational efficiency from "cosmological time" to "planetary time," bringing it closer to practical application. Diamond iO is built on technologies such as Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). It encrypts programs, enabling users to execute the encrypted program and obtain correct outputs without viewing its internal code or hidden keys. This scheme introduces a new input encoding mechanism and conditional decryption method, reducing computational complexity while ensuring program logic is hidden. Its core application scenarios include protecting programs containing private keys, enabling secure software licensing, building trustless cryptographic services, and supporting blockchain and AI systems with stronger privacy guarantees.Diamond iO is still in its early research stages. Its security depends on novel cryptographic assumptions, including All-Product LWE and Evasive LWE, which require further research and validation. At the same time, the technology still faces efficiency challenges such as high computational overhead and circuit depth limitations. Researchers believe that by optimizing underlying hash functions, improving homomorphic encryption schemes, and reducing security parameter requirements, Diamond iO has the potential to become an important direction for advancing practical program obfuscation technology in the future.

Hyperliquid has become a decentralized exchange used by many traders for perpetual contract trading. Its Ethereum-compatible module, HyperEVM, directly connects to the self-developed HyperCore blockchain, allowing applications such as wallets and exchanges to provide services like perpetual contract trading based on its shared liquidity. Currently, hundreds of developers are deploying or integrating through Hyperliquid's builder codes system, including MetaMask, Phantom wallet, and South African exchange VALR. Data from Flowscan shows that related developers have generated approximately $90 million in revenue so far. Since October 2025, MetaMask has offered users self-custodial perpetual contract access within the wallet and charges a 0.1% builder fee. VALR CEO Farzam Ehsani stated that the exchange previously built its own perpetual contract infrastructure but chose to integrate Hyperliquid's order book due to insufficient liquidity and trading volume.
