Odaily News, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Participants Division today issued an interpretive opinion and a "No-Action Letter" in response to an application from Coinbase Financial Markets, allowing it to offer trading services for certain digital commodity derivatives through its affiliated offshore trading platform, Deribit. CFTC staff confirmed that, based on the framework approved for Kalshi's BTCPERP contract on May 29, 2026, relevant crypto perpetual contracts can be classified as "foreign futures" as defined under Regulation 30.1.Simultaneously, under the fulfillment of specific conditions, the CFTC's Market Participants Division stated it does not recommend enforcement action against Coinbase Financial Markets. This allows Coinbase to transfer customer-held digital commodities and stablecoins, used as margin, to its affiliated offshore broker-dealer to support trading positions in foreign futures and options, even if the relevant offshore broker-dealer has the right to rehypothecate these assets.Analysts believe this statement further clarifies the classification path for crypto perpetual contracts within the U.S. regulatory framework and provides institutional space for compliant entities to access derivatives trading through offshore liquidity markets.
Odaily Odaily News: Curated Exchange was officially launched on May 29, 2026. The project was initiated by open-source developers and research scholars. Its underlying theory is based on the academic paper "Decentralized Market Formation" published on SSRN in May this year. The core proposition is to establish a more effective mechanism for discovering, screening, and selecting long-tail assets through a low-cost multi-exchange parallel structure.Any individual, community, or institution can deploy a dedicated vertical trading portal with zero barriers, screen assets, and earn fees. All Venues share the same underlying liquidity. Different from the centralized coin-listing decisions of CEXs and the non-screening mechanism of AMMs, DMF replaces capital access with cognitive access—Curators act as asset gatekeepers based on professional judgment rather than capital scale, ensuring that high-quality long-tail assets are systematically discovered through Curators with reputational constraints.Curated positions itself as a neutral infrastructure provider, avoiding commercial competition with ecosystem participants, and will fully open-source its code in the future. The testnet will be officially launched in June 2026.

TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1. This vault will support assets including USD1, USDC, cbBTC, and MON, offering higher yields than conventional lending through trading-based yield generation. This marks TownSquare’s first collaboration with a trading-based yield manager. The partnership aims to bring real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin institutional yields to a broader user base. Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the "The Interfold" project in a post, stating that more people should learn about Interfold. It is a general implementation version of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept he has repeatedly called for over the past decade. Essentially, this project is a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement.Vitalik also stated that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP eligibility proofs, performing arbitrary computations within Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) followed by threshold decryption. This enables unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ensures correctness through ZK over FHE, among other strong security guarantees. The main limitation at present is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication operations); only additive vote counting is mature. Optimizations based on slashing are being advanced, with a long-term goal of implementing obfuscation techniques to eliminate reliance on M-of-N committees.
According to the “15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal,” issued by the State Council on May 22, 2026, the State Council explicitly proposed promoting the application of blockchain technology in areas such as housing transactions and property rights registration to enhance the intelligence and refinement of urban governance. The plan simultaneously calls for the development of a foundational City Information Modeling (CIM) platform—creating an integrated, unified, data-fused, and highly collaborative digital foundation for cities. It aims to improve the CIM foundational database and standards system; implement coding for buildings and municipal infrastructure; establish a national foundational information database for buildings and municipal infrastructure; and strengthen the three-tiered urban operations management service platform system—covering national, provincial, and municipal levels—to advance “unified network-based management” of urban operations.
According to Reuters, people familiar with the matter said ByteDance is developing its own CPU to meet its rapidly growing AI infrastructure needs. Soaring chip prices and persistent long-term supply shortages are currently constraining the company’s expansion plans. This move highlights the industry’s accelerating shift toward the “inference” phase—a stage that significantly increases demand for CPUs and has triggered CPU shortages in recent months. The sources said ByteDance plans to deploy its in-house CPUs in its own servers and data centers to support internal operations and prepare for the large-scale rollout of agent-based products—including its Coze platform. ByteDance is currently pursuing two CPU architecture paths in parallel: one based on the Arm architecture and another based on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture, to evaluate which design better suits its long-term data center requirements. ByteDance currently procures CPUs from Intel and AMD—both of which have raised prices substantially over the past few months, with quarterly-on-quarter increases ranging from 10% to 35%. This has prompted ByteDance to accelerate the development of its internal alternative solutions.
: Streamex, a tokenized commodity platform, has partnered with Orca, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, to launch a tokenized asset trading market on Solana. This market allows verified qualified investors to buy and sell Streamex's yield-bearing, gold-backed GLDY tokens through regulated on-chain trading pools. The system integrates identity and compliance checks into Streamex's KYC and qualified investor verification process, with trading access limited to approved investors. Transactions are conducted through permissioned liquidity pools on Orca. Investor wallets remain frozen until identity verification and certification are completed, and qualification data is updated on-chain in real time. Streamex and Orca stated that neither party will act as a broker or intermediary for investors reselling GLDY tokens. Orca noted that its automated market maker infrastructure has processed over $500 billion in cumulative trading volume since its launch.
