Odaily President Trump posted on Truth Social, stating that it is crucial for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to retain "exclusive jurisdiction" over prediction markets, echoing the stance of CFTC Chairman Michael Selig. Trump also stated that the U.S. is formulating relevant rules, referencing his campaign promise to make the U.S. a center for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin-related fields. Under the leadership of the sole commissioner, Selig, the CFTC has filed lawsuits and amicus briefs against several states to assert its jurisdiction over prediction markets. The dispute centers on whether prediction market contracts related to sports and entertainment constitute gambling products, and whether contracts offered by regulated Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) should fall under CFTC jurisdiction. New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a related lawsuit, Illinois has issued a cease and desist order, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a law last week imposing criminal penalties for operating prediction markets. Indonesia, Spain, and India have recently banned the operation of prediction markets within their territories. An investigation into prediction markets by a U.S. House committee was also confirmed last week. (CoinDesk)
XRP Ledger developers have submitted a draft amendment titled "AMM Swappable Curves," planning to introduce three types of switchable curves for XRPL's native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to follow.This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose a more suitable pricing curve based on asset type, thereby improving capital efficiency. Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is better suited for assets with near 1:1 exchange rates, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and do not require migration.This proposal is seen as a crucial step for XRPL to bridge its DeFi infrastructure gap. Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including the recent tokenized U.S. Treasury redemption pilot conducted by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, for these assets to be traded, lent, or generate yields more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed.However, the proposal is still in the draft stage. It will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which could take several months, and its eventual approval remains uncertain. (Coindesk)
Investment bank TD Cowen stated that as the relevant political environment continues to deteriorate, the likelihood of the US crypto market structure bill, the "Clarity Act," passing this year is declining.TD Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg pointed out that while the Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill earlier this month, this does not signify a substantive bipartisan agreement; rather, it merely pushes the controversy to the full Senate floor.The report indicated that the escalating controversies surrounding US President Donald Trump and his administration related to crypto in recent days are making it harder for Democrats to support the bill. If the bill does not include clear conflict-of-interest provisions, it will face even greater difficulty in gaining sufficient support in the current political environment.

According to an official announcement from Optimism, the OP mainnet today initiates its first-ever adjustment to transaction ordering rules. For several years prior, the sequencer employed only a “highest-priority gas fee first” mechanism; it now introduces a new staking-based priority ordering option. This four-week experiment (concluding on June 23) was approved earlier this month by the Optimism Governance body and is optional for users. To participate, users must stake at least 100,000 OP tokens in the PolicyEngineStaking contract. The experiment proceeds in two phases: - Phase 1 (Week 1): Transactions are ordered using a FIFO (first-in, first-out) rule; staking amounts exceeding the minimum threshold do not affect priority. - Phase 2 (Weeks 2–4): A priority gas multiplier mechanism is introduced, weighted by staking duration—longer staking periods yield higher priority. For users not participating in the experiment, transaction ordering remains unchanged, and the PGA mechanism continues operating as usual.

According to FinanceFeeds, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has issued a warning that scammers are defrauding retail investors via messaging apps such as WhatsApp and fake cryptocurrency trading platforms. Scammers typically begin by posting investment advice on social media to lure users into messaging groups disguised as reputable financial professionals or trading communities, then encourage them to deposit funds into fraudulent platforms. These platforms simulate profits using fabricated trading data; when users attempt to withdraw funds, they are charged additional “unlocking fees,” and all money flows directly into the scammers’ accounts. Moreover, scammers are targeting investors who have already suffered losses by promoting fake “funds recovery services” — a form of secondary fraud. According to MoneySmart survey data, 23% of Australians aged 18–28 hold crypto assets; 72% of Generation Z respondents have seen crypto-related advertisements on social media; and 41% have been directly solicited to invest in cryptocurrencies—indicating significantly elevated risk exposure among younger demographics. ASIC advises investors to avoid trusting investment advice from social media and recommends verifying a platform’s regulatory compliance through the AUSTRAC Register of Digital Currency Exchange Providers.
