Luca Netz posted on X that Abstract is gradually shutting down, and its parent company Igloo Inc. will shift all of its focus to Pudgy Penguins, Pudgy NFTs, and PENGU. Igloo has continued to provide funding support for Abstract over the past 18 months. Over its two years of operation, the project has accumulated losses in the tens of millions of dollars and has still not found product-market fit (PMF).He said that Abstract had previously processed over 300 million onchain transactions, launched Portal and AGW, and attracted multiple global brands to join, but issues such as an insufficient DeFi ecosystem, limited liquidity, low institutional participation, high costs, and declining demand for related products continued to constrain growth. In the end, Igloo Inc. could no longer continue diverting funds from the Pudgy Penguins business to support Abstract, and it did not choose to raise funds through token issuance or an ICO.
Arthur Hayes stated that U.S. policymakers may support the AI industry and government debt financing through money printing, driving cryptocurrency prices higher; if China shifts from limited tightening to large-scale monetary stimulus, it could also boost demand for scarce assets.

Odaily News: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a fraud alert on July 30, warning that scammers are mailing counterfeit IRS notices requiring cryptocurrency holders to register through a non-existent "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" before an urgent deadline.

The fake portal may request personal information, cryptocurrency wallet details, exchange login credentials, recovery phrases, private keys, or other data that could be used for theft. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and cybersecurity firm Darktower traced the related infrastructure to a domain registered through a Hong Kong-based registrar shortly before the letters were distributed. Investigators found that the website is hosted in Romania, on a network previously associated with phishing pages impersonating financial institutions.

According to official information, Mantle announced today that its native cross-chain infrastructure Mantle Super Portal, jointly developed with Bybit, has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Powered by CCIP, Mantle Super Portal will feature enhanced cross-chain security, decentralized node infrastructure protection, advanced risk management, and institutional-grade security standards, providing a higher level of security for cross-chain transfers of MNT tokens valued at over $2.5 billion. Furthermore, as an increasing number of regulated assets such as tokenized stocks are transferred on-chain, the underlying infrastructure supporting them must also meet traditional finance standards. This migration will further solidify Mantle's position as a "distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity," and also reflects Mantle and Bybit's continued commitment to developing MNT through further integrations, opportunities, and use cases. According to the details provided, Mantle Super Portal will be temporarily closed during the migration, scheduled from July 9 to 15, 2026 (the actual timeframe may be slightly extended). No action is required from users, and transfers will automatically resume upon completion of the migration.

Polygon has officially launched its native liquid staking token, sPOL, designed to enhance returns for POL token stakers. As Polygon’s native liquid staking token, sPOL unlocks approximately 3.6 billion staked POL tokens and grants stakers priority access to transaction fee revenue sharing. Currently, only about 4%–5% of POL is liquid; sPOL addresses the issue of idle capital being unable to participate in DeFi yield opportunities. Users can migrate existing stakes to sPOL via the Polygon Staking Portal—without waiting periods and with uninterrupted rewards—while new stakes will automatically receive sPOL. The initial sPOL redemption ratio is 1:1, increasing as staking rewards accrue. sPOL supports liquidity provision, collateralization, and yield-boosting DeFi strategies, and can be redeemed at any time for POL plus accumulated rewards. The token was initially launched by Polygon Labs and audited by ChainSecurity and Certora; official liquidity will be seeded through an on-chain liquidity pool. Polygon cautions that sPOL carries smart contract risk, validator misbehavior penalty risk, and market volatility risk.
