Decentralized stablecoin USDD officially released its June transparency report. Data shows that as of the end of June, USDD's total collateralized assets reached $2.03 billion, the peak circulation volume for the month reached $1.42 billion, and the over-collateralization ratio at the end of the month was 149.35%, fully demonstrating strong stability and risk buffer capabilities.

Odaily, Web3 security firm CertiK has released the "Hack3D: First Half of 2026 Report." The report shows that the Web3 ecosystem experienced 344 security incidents in the first half of 2026, with cumulative losses of approximately $1.32 billion. Although this figure represents a 46.8% decrease compared to the same period last year, excluding the impact of the $1.45 billion security incident involving Bybit, the scale of losses in the first half of this year actually increased by approximately 28% year-on-year, indicating that the overall security environment in the industry has not materially improved.The report points out that wallet theft has become the attack type causing the greatest financial loss, accounting for approximately $450 million in losses in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, although the number of phishing attacks fell by more than 50% year-on-year, the loss amount only decreased by approximately 10.8%, reflecting that attackers are shifting towards high-net-worth individuals and institutional targets, carrying out more targeted high-value attacks.Furthermore, code vulnerabilities remain the most frequent type of attack, with 204 related incidents. CertiK believes that attackers are increasingly targeting long-running legacy smart contracts that lack re-audits. The report also shows that mega-attacks continue to dominate industry losses, with the Kelp DAO and Drift Protocol incidents alone causing approximately $577 million in losses, accounting for 44% of the total losses in the first half of the year. Looking at the number of incidents, the impact of single attacks, and the changing attack patterns, the Web3 industry is facing more complex and continuously escalating security challenges.
SemiAnalysis posted on X platform, stating that the proportion of memory in hyperscaler capital expenditure has sparked considerable discussion, especially after MU's earnings report last week. Some market participants were surprised by the potential level this ratio could reach next year. SemiAnalysis published its initial views in late February, and many clients disagreed with its 30% figure. In May, after pricing increases exceeded expectations, SemiAnalysis responded that, when combining DRAM, NAND, and HBM spending, memory expenditure in Nvidia systems would exceed 30% by the end of 2026 and surpass 40% by 2027. SemiAnalysis expects this dynamic to gain greater understanding in the coming months.
: Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi has released an update on the security incident recovery progress, stating that EMURGO has established an asset recovery fund to return assets to users affected by the attack.SecondFi stated that emergency measures have been taken to protect and restore access to some assets. The team is currently discussing appropriate custody mechanisms with Intersect to ensure the safe return of assets to users.Furthermore, SecondFi is collaborating with a Cardano community-led working group to advance the on-chain recovery plan. Due to the recovery plan being more complex than initially expected, the overall recovery time may exceed the previously estimated two weeks.

The Zcash Foundation released its Q1 2026 report, disclosing total liquid assets of approximately $36.7 million, including roughly $12.11 million in cash, 506,556 USDC, 85,412 ZEC (valued at ~$21.2 million), 41.8 BTC (valued at ~$2.85 million), and 12.02 ETH (valued at ~$25,000).

On the regulatory front, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its investigation without taking any enforcement action, thereby resolving long-standing regulatory uncertainty.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that privacy is becoming a core infrastructure direction for the next phase of the crypto industry. Recently, three institutional-grade blockchains focused on stablecoins and asset tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have accumulated over $1 billion in total funding, indicating a rapidly growing demand from institutions for "privacy-friendly on-chain financial systems."Among them, stablecoin issuer Circle contributed $222 million in funding for Arc, giving it a valuation of approximately $3 billion; Digital Asset’s Canton blockchain is reportedly seeking $300 million in funding at a $2 billion valuation; and Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, has previously completed $500 million in funding at a valuation of $5 billion.Hougan noted that this funding wave reflects three major trends: the gradual clarification of the U.S. regulatory framework, increased institutional demand for on-chain privacy, and intensified competition among new blockchain networks supported by large enterprises. Current public blockchains still face structural trade-offs between speed, cost, security, and privacy. However, scenarios involving stablecoins and RWA tokenization require systems that simultaneously offer high performance, compliance, and privacy, making “verifiable privacy” a critical prerequisite for institutional adoption of on-chain finance.Hougan further stated that, for enterprises, “all transactions being publicly broadcast” is not an advantage but a potential flaw. In the future, users and institutions may find it increasingly difficult to accept a fully transparent on-chain financial environment. He believes that privacy capabilities could become the “killer app” driving the crypto industry into its next phase of mainstream adoption. Additionally, following the passage of the U.S. Genius Act in 2025, regulatory certainty has significantly increased, providing a clearer policy foundation for institutional funds to enter the crypto infrastructure space.

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis released a report stating that stablecoin-adjusted transaction volume is projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035—marking a substantial increase from $28 trillion in 2025. If two major macro catalysts align, this figure could double further to $15 trillion, surpassing the current annual global cross-border payment volume of approximately $10 trillion. The two catalysts are: (1) the transfer of over $100 trillion in wealth from the Baby Boomer generation to younger, crypto-native generations; and (2) stablecoins fully replacing traditional payment rails as the default payment infrastructure. Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, noted that strategic moves—including Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard’s partnership with BVNK—are concrete steps forward. Coupled with regulatory clarity provided by the GENIUS Act, institutional participation is expected to expand significantly.
