Grayscale Announces Crypto Asset Yield Rankings: HYPE Holders Lead in Yield, CAKE Ranks Highest in Adjusted Earnings Yield
According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale released a crypto asset valuation ranking evaluated based on two metrics: "Token Holder Yield" and "Adjusted Earnings Yield". HYPE topped holder yields at 8.0%, with Lighter (LIT) following closely at 7.9%, and PancakeSwap (CAKE) ranking third at 2.6%, followed sequentially by AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, and CRV. In terms of adjusted earnings yield, CAKE led at 14.4%, with LIT at 14.1% and HYPE at 9.8%, followed sequentially by RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, and PENDLE. The report showed that five assets on the list had negative holder yields, including AAVE, JUP, and CRV, with CRV at -5.5% and JUP at -2.6%. Grayscale calculates holder yield as staking rewards plus buybacks minus new token issuance, so holders face dilution when new issuance exceeds total yields. While JUP's adjusted earnings yield stands at 3.5%, its holder yield remains negative.
CRS 2.0 Incorporates Cryptographic Assets into the Global Tax “Sky Eye,” Signaling a Comprehensive Tightening of Overseas Taxation
According to Caixin, the global tax “satellite surveillance system,” CRS 2.0, is accelerating its rollout worldwide. Cryptographic assets, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and certain electronic money products have now been included within the scope of financial asset reporting. Hong Kong plans to implement CRS 2.0 by 2028 and simultaneously advance the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). In the future, cryptocurrency exchanges, brokers, and operators of crypto ATMs will be required to report cryptocurrency–fiat currency conversions, cross-cryptocurrency swaps, and domestic and cross-border transfers of cryptographic assets. Reports must precisely specify the full names of assets—for example, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT)—and aggregate data by transaction dimension, including total market value, total holdings, and number of transactions. For retail payment transactions, individual transactions exceeding USD 50,000 must be reported separately. Although mainland China has not yet officially announced a timeline for implementing CRS 2.0, since 2025, tax authorities in multiple regions have begun notifying taxpayers—via phone calls and text messages—to self-report overseas income earned between 2022 and 2024 and fulfill their tax obligations accordingly. It is understood that CRS 2.0 will not only fully expose overseas-held cryptographic assets to tax oversight but may also trigger coordinated scrutiny by other regulatory bodies.

Justin Sun's two wallets have cumulatively received $48.76 million worth of PEPE, raising his holdings value to $51.01 million.
According to blockchain analytics platform Arkham (@arkham), two wallets associated with Justin Sun received PEPE in two transactions from Poloniex on October 17 and 26: 7.2 trillion tokens (approximately $28.44 million) on October 17, and 4.65 trillion tokens (approximately $20.32 million) on October 26, totaling approximately $48.76 million.

MakerDAO Legacy Auction Contract Exploited, Attacker Drains 200 ETH Worth Over $500,000
Odaily News: Analysis by security firm CertiK shows that a legacy MakerDAO auction keeper contract was exploited, with the attacker draining 200 ETH worth over $500,000. According to CertiK, the root cause is a lack of access control in the 0x8804d1de function within the keeper implementation contract. This contract was involved in the March 2020 "Black Thursday" liquidation crisis, where it won ETH at zero bids. Four lots of 50 ETH each were never settled, and the attacker used this to drain the funds, transferring them out via Tornado Cash in batches of 10 ETH each. This contract is not part of the current Sky ecosystem core, but old contracts still holding funds may remain potential attack targets.

Sky provides 150 million USDS base liquidity for FX Layer
Sky (formerly MakerDAO), in collaboration with Spark and Uniswap, announced that the initial 150 million in liquidity for FX Layer, a stablecoin exchange system jointly developed by the three parties, is entirely sourced from the Sky ecosystem's stablecoin USDS. As the platform's core pricing asset, USDS provides base liquidity for USDS/USDT and USDS/PYUSD trading pools, marking the first large-scale implementation of this shared liquidity framework.The long-term plan for the three parties is to introduce institutions engaged in stablecoin operations, such as PayPal's PYUSD, Ripple's RLUSD, Robinhood, and Revolut, to access the unified infrastructure. This eliminates the need for each issuer to independently build liquidity pools and market-making systems. Simultaneously, a governance mechanism will be established to allow idle funds not involved in market-making to generate ongoing returns.Looking back to June 25th, Spark and Uniswap officially announced the launch of FX Layer. The division of roles is clear: Spark acts as the orchestration layer to allocate cross-stablecoin liquidity, while Uniswap v4 executes transaction paths via its programmable AMM mechanism through the DualPool hook. It offers a one-stop stablecoin exchange service for banks, fintech companies, and payment enterprises.
