This Week's Focus
It is worth mentioning that the timing of State Street Bank's announcement to launch its digital asset platform is quite clever, coinciding with a critical policy window as the "CLARITY Act" is undergoing negotiation and review. Although the act has sparked controversy over tokenized stocks and stablecoin rewards due to comments from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, which led to a postponement of the hearing, stakeholders are still actively pushing the legislative process forward. According to Crypto In America reporter Eleanor Terrett, if the bank, Coinbase, and the Democrats can reach an agreement on the "revenue" clause in the coming days, the act may still move forward.
As for whether the act can pass in this week's hearing, we cannot say for sure. However, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is confident about the act's passage. In an interview with Fox Business, he stated that the "CLARITY Act" will be sent to President Trump’s desk for signing within this year. He further explained, "This act aligns with the president's strategic goal of making the U.S. a global cryptocurrency hub; clear legislation and defined rules will bring certainty to the market. We fully support this act and are very optimistic about its prospects for being presented to the president for signing this year. The act will have a tremendous impact on the cryptocurrency market."
Regardless of the final outcome of this gamble, Polygon has sent a clear signal to the market: the cryptocurrency industry is accelerating towards maturity, and the future belongs to those builders who can organically integrate technological innovation, regulatory compliance, and user experience. For Polygon, this investment of over $250 million is not just an acquisition of two companies, but a firm bet on the future direction of the industry.

The "Are You Dead?" App Goes Viral, How Can Crypto Players Insure Their Assets Against "Death"?
This lifestyle, while flexible, amplifies the risks of living alone: practitioners may be scattered around the globe, lacking a fixed social circle, and the intensity of work increases health risks. Imagine a solitary cryptocurrency trader suddenly experiencing heart problems at home; what will happen to their crypto assets worth hundreds of thousands or even millions? The viral success of the "Are You Dead?" app has prompted many crypto investors to reflect: what should they do in the event of an accident?

This article starts from a series of recent geopolitical and policy events, pointing out that we are entering a structural turning point: the sovereignty of nation-states is no longer guaranteed by rules, but increasingly depends on resource control and actual defense capabilities. When laws, agreements, and systems no longer constitute credible constraints, "possession" itself begins to re-emerge as a source of value. Capital is also migrating—shifting from paper ownership to physical ownership, from financial assets to resources, supply chains, and strategic materials.

[](<p class=)When Cross-Chain Protocols Begin to Expand Their Business from "Bridging" to "Swapping"
In the early single-chain era, the boundaries of roles were very clear. A bridge is a bridge, a DEX is a DEX, and DEX aggregators solve the problem of "how to swap most cheaply on the same chain." If you swap ETH for USDC on Ethereum, tools like 1inch and Matcha are natural choices. At this stage, "swapping" is considered an intra-chain issue.
The Truth and Lies of the Crypto Market: A Review of Achievements and Lessons from 2025
Over the past year, another type of centralization phenomenon has emerged in DeFi: conflicts between centralized equity holders and token holders/DAOs. Who truly owns the protocol, intellectual property, and the resulting profits? The various controversies surrounding Aave indicate that token holders have fewer rights than we imagine. As a representative of several DAOs, including Aave, I hold a firm stance on this issue: all income related to the protocol (including frontend fees) should flow to token holders.
Galaxy Research: The Evolution of Prediction Markets—Impacting Markets and Decision Markets
The existing utility of prediction markets as hedging tools and information dissemination mediums should not be underestimated. Prediction markets provide a direct mechanism to hedge against any discrete event risk (such as the timing of the release of the next generation of ChatGPT models, or whether military action will occur before a specific date), risks that are often difficult or impossible to hedge separately in traditional markets.
Why Do Chinese Memes Lack Momentum?
When Chinese meme narratives first emerged, a Chinese meme coin would be pushed up simply due to its novelty; now, Chinese memes have become an unremarkable fixed category. When Chinese memes are fully integrated into the BSC meme cycle iteration pipeline, accompanied by the market gradually "understanding" this gameplay, the ecosystem will revert to a "run fast" mode, and the entire meme cycle will be accelerated, relying on "imperial edicts" for cold starts, deceiving continuous interaction, and finally pouring into Binance Alpha…
