BNY to offer institutional crypto staking through Galaxy partnership

BNY and Galaxy have partnered to integrate institutional crypto staking into BNYs digital asset custody platform, allowing eligible clients to earn staking rewards without moving assets out of custody.　　Under the arrangement, which was unveiled on Tuesday, institutional clients will be able to stake supported proof-of-stake assets while keeping them within BNY‘s custody framework. Galaxy will provide the staking infrastructure and serve as a design partner for BNY’s broader digital asset platform. The companies did not specify which digital assets will be supported.　　The partnership also aims to combine custody, staking, reporting and tax services into a single offering for institutional clients, a move the companies said could simplify digital asset operations.　　The partnership expands BNYs push to integrate digital assets into traditional financial infrastructure. The bank was among the first major financial institutions to offer regulated custody for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), and has since broadened its digital asset strategy through initiatives including tokenized fund administration and efforts to move transfer agency records onchain.　　Magazine: CLARITY hopes fade, BitMEX shuts as lawsuit looms: Hodlers Digest, July 26

Solana Proposal Would Increase Daily SOL Burns More Than 10-Fold

In briefSolana validators are considering a proposal to increase daily SOL burns through a new fee model.A companion proposal would accelerate the networks declining inflation schedule.The proposal is close to reaching the support needed to advance to a formal vote.　　Solana validators are close to advancing a governance proposal that would sharply increase the amount of SOL burned each day while reducing the rate at which new tokens enter circulation.　　If implemented, the proposal would therefore limit the network tokens inflation rate, thereby limiting supply and, in theory, could lead to an increase in the price of Solana tokens if demand remains steady or increases.　　The proposal, SGP-0003, combines two previously introduced Solana Improvement Documents into a single governance package aimed at tightening SOLs supply. SIMD-0553 would introduce resource-based transaction fees, increasing daily SOL burns from about 650 SOL (roughly $48,000) to between 7,500 and 9,000 SOL (up to about $668,000), depending on network activity. SIMD-0550 would also double Solanas annual disinflation rate to 30%, bringing the networks 1.5% inflation floor forward from 2032 to 2029.　　A token burn permanently removes cryptocurrency from circulation by sending it to an unusable wallet address. By pairing larger burns with lower issuance, the proposal would reduce the

Open USD rattled Circle's stock, but its key backers still support USDC

Recent earnings calls from Open USDs highest-profile backers, however, paint a more nuanced picture. Executives at Coinbase, Visa and Mastercard all said they intend to support multiple stablecoins instead of betting on a single winner, describing Open USD as another network to connect to rather than a replacement for USDC.　　Multi-coin strategy　　During its second-quarter earnings call last week, Coinbase reassured investors about its close relationship with Circle. Chief Financial Officer Alesia Haas said the exchange has already met the conditions to renew its commercial agreement with Circle and will continue growing the USDC ecosystem.　　CEO Brian Armstrong also said Coinbase remains a “multi-stablecoin platform” and wants to support whichever stablecoins customers choose to use. The exchange already supports USDC alongside Tethers USDT and PayPals PYUSD, he said, with Open USD creating “additional business opportunities and revenue opportunities.”　　Ryan McInerney, CEO of Visa, struck a similar tone during his firms earnings call, describing the company as “multi-coin, multi-chain” and saying that Visas role is to help clients connect to whichever stablecoins gain adoption.　　“Our role is not to pick winners,” he said.　　Notably, Visa offered the first live example of pushing Open USD to customers. The firm last month launched its Visa Stablecoin Platform, giving banks,

Alibaba Just Gave Away Its Best AI Model For Free, Almost Matching Claude and ChatGPT

In briefQwen3.8-Max runs 2.4 trillion parameters and is the first Max-class Qwen model Alibaba will release as open weights.It ships with setup instructions for Anthropics Claude Code and OpenAIs Codex—rival tools.On Alibabas own benchmark table, Fable 5 wins 15 of 31 tests. Qwen3.8-Max wins seven.　　Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Max on Monday, calling it the most capable model it has ever built. The weights land on Hugging Face and ModelScope next week—the first time the company has given away a model at Max scale.　　The specs are big: 2.4 trillion parameters total, with 95 billion switched on at any moment. Parameters are the number of dials a model is able to handle.　　This is extremely important for efficiency as it means it would not require too much resources to run. Think of it as a huge library where only the relevant shelf lights up for each question. Small businesses and labs with good enough hardware are now able to run a state-of-the-art model without spending the same as a huge datacenter.　　Alibabas release post skips the usual benchmark-chasing narrative and leans on endurance instead. The model spent 16 days building a coding tool by itself—265 commits, 127 pull requests, 151 issues, no human touching the keyboard.

Senators seek SEC probe of President Trump's memecoin as crypto bill enters into a pivotal week

Quick TakeThe senators accused President Donald Trump of being involved in a “rug pull” and called on the agency to determine whether securities laws had been violated.The letter comes as the White House is mulling the latest compromise to address Trumps crypto forays as a way to move forward with potentially passing broad crypto legislation into law.　　Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal are calling on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate President Donald Trumps memecoin.　　In a letter sent Monday to SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the senators pointed to reports that nearly 1 million crypto wallets have lost money since the launch of Trumps memecoin (TRUMP) in January 2025, with combined losses totaling about $3.81 billion. They accused Trump of being involved in a “rug pull” and called on the agency to determine whether securities laws had been violated.　　“Given sharp depreciation in the coin‘s value—despite the hype coming directly from the President’s own public statements—the SEC must investigate whether a fraudulent scheme may be underway, and prevent further extraction of enormous value from the hundreds of thousands of investors who put their faith in Trumps coin,” they said.　　The letter comes as the White House is mulling the latest

Clarity Act sits idle over Trump ethics question as Warren asks SEC to investigate him

Spokespeople for the White House didnt immediately respond to CoinDesks questions about its current stance.　　If a new agreement isnt quickly struck that can convince as many as 10 Democrats to support the bill, Senate Majority Leader John Thunes plan to begin the Senate voting process for the Clarity Act this week could lead to a fatal defeat.　　Senator Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, is the top minority-party member of the Senate Banking Committee, though shes been outside of the negotiations over the Clarity Act that shes steadily opposed. If Democrats get the electoral bump theyre anticipating in this years midterm congressional elections, theres a narrow chance for her party to return to the majority in the Senate. If so, Warren would likely run the banking committee, which oversees the SEC and has a hand in most crypto legislation.　　“The SEC must be willing to enforce the law even when potential wrongdoers include those with powerful political connections,” she and Blumenthal wrote in the letter.

In a March appearance, he said prediction markets let people “put your money where your mouth is” when they disagree with consensus, describing the platform as “a very useful thermometer of the world” that helps people assess the likelihood of future events.
