zBNB has become the most actively traded asset in the zERC20io suite, with more than $1.5M in zBNB volume processed on BNB Chain.

Jupiter, a leading DEX aggregator on Solana, announced the launch of 18 new products, including proprietary AMMs (Prop AMMs), an interactive feature called Jupiter Gacha, and the rollout of the GUM omnichain protocol. The updates focus on improving liquidity aggregation efficiency, strengthening user engagement mechanisms, and expanding cross-chain asset interoperability. With Jupiter deeply integrated across the Solana ecosystem, the product expansion is positioned to lift the protocol’s TVL and trading volume while broadening use cases for the JUP token. The changes are framed as an internal ecosystem upgrade with no external regulatory or macro drivers, concentrating the impact on Solana’s on-chain DeFi infrastructure layer.

Xverse’s mobile app has launched a one-tap feature that lets users stake Bitcoin (BTC) on Starknet with a single confirmation. The flow does not require an additional gas token and removes manual bridging steps. Xverse automates the process end to end, lowering the barrier for BTC holders to access DeFi in the Starknet ecosystem. The update does not mention other chains, new token issuance, or changes to the economic model.

Market sentiment around XRP has strengthened on expectations that the U.S. CLARITY Act (Crypto Law, Accountability, Reporting, and Transparency Initiative) will advance. On-chain data show whales have recently added about 600 million XRP. The bill aims to clarify how digital assets are assessed for securities status, and supporters expect XRP could be explicitly deemed not a security if it passes. The article provides no details on the bill’s stage, any voting timetable, or official confirmation, describing the move as driven by optimistic expectations.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said it is time to pass the Clarity Act into law, voicing support for advancing the measure. He said he supports moving the bill forward so “we can get some market structure in place.”

Thai law enforcement has accused unlicensed cryptocurrency mining operators of illegally taking electricity worth B280 million (about $7.8 million). The alleged activity took place in Thailand and names “Bitcoin miners” as the responsible parties. The report did not identify any specific project, mining pool or related token, according to the Bangkok Post. The case is described as a local enforcement action focused on miners’ compliance status in Thailand, without involving protocol-level changes, exchanges or major infrastructure.

Hertzflow is a self-custodied leveraged trading protocol built on BNB Chain that aims to address two issues in on-chain derivatives: permissioned listing barriers and custody risk. Its core design includes permissionless creation of trading pairs, provided an asset has reliable Oracle support. The article says testnet activity has validated the architecture’s stability and that the project is steadily moving toward a mainnet launch. It adds that a mainnet debut is seen as a signal for a BNB Chain ecosystem flywheel, potentially improving on-chain TVL utilization, attracting liquidity providers and high-frequency traders, and increasing demand for BNB as the settlement and gas token.

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said on CNBC that Democrats will be forced to move the #BitcoinClarityAct toward passage because younger Democrats do not want to take on the crypto community and its PACs. He added that if the bill reaches a House floor vote, it is likely to pass, and argued that opposing crypto is “career suicide.” The bill is framed as clarifying whether Bitcoin and other digital assets are securities and how they should be regulated, though there is no confirmed legislative timeline.
