Anchorage Digital adds Lido support, giving institutions access to wstETH

Quick TakeThrough the integration, institutional clients gain direct access to Lido‘s wrapped staked ETH token, wstETH, via Anchorage’s platform.Perhaps the added access to wstETH could bolster Lido revenues, which declined last year.　　Federally regulated crypto bank Anchorage Digital said Thursday it has added support for Lido, Ethereums dominant liquid staking protocol.　　Through the integration, institutional clients gain direct access to Lidos wrapped staked ETH token, wstETH, via Anchorages platform, the company said in a statement.　　Anchorage clients can connect to the Lido dApp and mint and burn wstETH. In this manner, Anchorage users gain exposure to liquid Ethereum while simultaneously taking advantage of Anchorages custody and governance controls, according to Thursdays statement.　　“Liquid staking has become one of the most important building blocks for institutional participation in Ethereum,” Anchorage co-founder and CEO Nathan McCauley said. “By integrating with Lido, were giving institutions access to wstETH without the operational or security tradeoffs that have historically kept large allocators on the sidelines.”　　Perhaps the added access to (wstETH) could bolster Lido revenues, which declined last year. In March, Lido said that in 2025 revenues fell over 20% as users withdrew funds and staking yields declined.　　Traditional Ethereum staking requires locking up ETH for extended periods while running validator

98% Crash, Then a Pivot: Story Protocol Rebrand Bets on AI Data

A 98% price collapseis a brutal way to end a chapter. But for Story Protocol, it may also be the only honest way to start a new one. The project announced its Story Protocol rebrandto Data Network on June 25, pivoting from an intellectual property blockchain to an AI training data infrastructure play — and the operational consequences are already rippling across crypto derivatives markets.　　Key takeawaysCoinbase will suspend IP-PERP perpetual futures trading on July 6, giving traders a narrow window to close or adjust open positions.Story Protocol is rebranding to Data Network, abandoning its original IP blockchain focus in favor of AI training data infrastructure.The $IP token will migrate to $DATA at a 1:1 ratio— no dilution, no complex conversion math.The $IP token had already shed roughly 98% of its valuebefore the rebrand was announced.Kraken and Bybithave both confirmed support for the token transition, with Bybit specifically confirming swap support.　　Coinbase Suspends IP-PERP Futures Trading Ahead of the Transition　　Coinbase is halting IP-PERP perpetual futures contracts on July 6.

'I think we're nearing the bottom': Bitwise CIO says Strategy's STRC selloff is part of bitcoin's end-of-cycle dynamics

Quick TakeSTRC, Strategys preferred stock, traded as low as $75 from its $100 par value before Strategy overhauled its framework on June 29 and let the price float instead of defending $100.Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan called the STRC selloff a classic “end-of-cycle” pattern and said he expects a new bitcoin bull market to begin this fall.　　Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said the sharp sell-off in Strategys STRC preferred stock is a “painful but necessary” part of the current crypto market cycle and argued it reflects the kind of end-of-cycle deleveraging that typically precedes a market bottom.　　Bitcoin fell below $60,000 in late June, its lowest level since 2024, a decline Hougan attributed largely to turmoil around STRC, the perpetual preferred equity instrument Strategy (MSTR) uses to help fund its bitcoin purchases.　　A preferred stock under pressure　　STRC launched last year, targeting a $100 par value, initially paying a 9% yield.　　Strategy said it would raise that yield by 0.25 to 0.50 percentage points whenever the price drifted below $100 to draw buyers back toward par. The mechanism worked for a while, since the rate climbed to 11.5%, the price held near $100, and investors poured $10.5 billion into the instrument, helping to fund

OpenAI weighs 5% stake for US government amid Trump talks: FT

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has reportedly discussed giving the US government a 5% equity stake as artificial intelligence oversight in Washington intensifies.　　The company raised the idea in early discussions with the Trump administration as it seeks to navigate a tougher political environment ahead of a potential public listing, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.　　OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued that giving the public a financial stake in the company would be the best way to share the economic benefits of the booming AI industry.　　The report comes weeks after OpenAI announced it had confidentially submitted an S-1 for a US initial public offering, joining Anthropic in preparing for a Wall Street debut this year. It also comes as the US government takes a more active role in overseeing advanced AI models.　　Proposal extends to other AI companies　　The proposal would see several leading US AI companies contribute a 5% equity stake to a public investment vehicle. However, it remains unclear whether companies such as Anthropic, Google and Meta would support the idea.　　The Financial Times reported that Altman modeled the proposal on Alaskas Permanent Fund, which invests the states oil revenue into stocks and pays dividends to residents.

Yield-bearing stablecoin slowdown ends three-year run for crypto-native products

Yield-bearing stablecoin supply fell by more than $3.5 billion in the second quarter of 2026, reversing nearly three years of quarterly growth as crypto-native products contracted and Treasury-backed tokens expanded.　　Crypto exchange CEX.IO reported Thursday that the category declined by 15% during Q2.

Solana Foundation launches framework for protocol-level governance

The Solana Foundation, the Swiss organization that supports the Solana networks development, launched a new framework for protocol-level governance that enables proposing and voting on governance decisions for the Solana blockchain.　　The Solana Governance Proposals (SGPs) establish a standard that enables validators to submit core protocol proposals and vote onchain, with voting power based on their delegated Solana (SOL) stake, the Foundation announced in a Thursday X post.　　“An SGP captures a stake-weighted directional decision. It records what the community wants. It is not strictly focused on the technical detail of how to build the feature,” according to the GitHub repository, launched on Thursday.　　The new framework offers Solana a transparent, community-driven way to make major protocol decisions, reducing reliance on centralized coordination while keeping technical implementations, or Solana Improvement Documents (SIMDs), separate from community governance.　　Other blockchain networks with similar stake-weighted governance mechanisms include Polkadot, Cosmos, Cardano, Tezos and Avalanche.Source: Solana Foundation on X.com　　Proposals require minimum 15% support　　A proposal must receive endorsements from validators representing at least 15% of actively staked Solana tokens to qualify for a formal onchain vote, a measure that seeks to filter out low-quality proposals.　　Validators with at least 100,000 SOL delegated can open a new governance proposal via SGP.

FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed six-figure Strategy stock purchase months after trade: report

Quick TakeFBI Director Kash Patel disclosed a $100,001 to $250,000 purchase of Strategy stock about six months after buying the shares, according to a NOTUS report.　　FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed a six-figure purchase of Strategy (MSTR) stock roughly six months after executing the trade, according to a NOTUS report citing federal ethics records.　　Patel acquired between $100,001 and $250,000 of Strategy common shares on Nov. 21, 2025, but did not disclose the transaction until filing an amended ethics report on May 26 this year, the report said.　　The late disclosure stemmed from what Patel described in the filings as an “inadvertent omission.” According to records cited by NOTUS, Deputy Assistant Attorney General William Taylor said the omission resulted from a miscommunication and that Patel remained in compliance with applicable conflict-of-interest rules. The FBI said in response to inquiries that the corrected paperwork had been submitted and approved.　　Under the STOCK Act, covered executive branch officials generally must disclose securities transactions above $1,000 within 30 days of notification and no later than 45 days after the transaction. First-time violators are subject to a $200 fine, though no fine has been issued in Patels case, according to an FBI official familiar with the matter.　　The purchase

Dubai crypto market hits 50 licensed firms after new VARA approval

The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), Dubais crypto regulator, has granted its 50th virtual asset service provider (VASP) license.　　On Thursday, VARA said its latest approval went to tokenized assets platform Tribe Tokenisation FZE.　　The milestone provides one measure of the growth of Dubais crypto licensing regime, though license totals alone do not show how many firms are operational or the level of business they generate.　　A VARA spokesperson told Cointelegraph that holding an active license does not necessarily mean a firm has completed its commercial launch. Newly licensed companies may go through a controlled operationalization period before offering services or onboarding customers.　　At the end of 2025, VARA classified 39 licensed VASPs as fully operational. The spokesperson said the regulator is validating an updated figure for 2026.　　Dubais bid to attract crypto firms　　Dubai has spent the past several years positioning itself as a global hub for digital asset businesses. As part of that effort, the emirate established VARA in March 2022 as a dedicated crypto regulator and has sought to attract crypto businesses through a standalone licensing framework.　　Against that backdrop, Dubais 50 licensed VASPs exceed the totals reported in Hong Kong and Singapore, two other jurisdictions competing to attract regulated crypto businesses.
