Ethereum bridge users have 24 hours to exit before chain shuts down after just 5 week warning

Powerloom, a blockchain network built for decentralized data infrastructure, is scheduled to halt permanently at 6:00 AM UTC on July 21. Users with POWER or other transferable assets still held on the network have under 24 hours to move them to Ethereum as of press time.　　Currently, Powerlooms official wind-down page lists the bridge as active. The projects final reminder directed users to initiate a withdrawal through the official bridge and complete the claim on Ethereum before the cutoff.　　The bridge only covers balances already available for transfer on Powerloom. Reward claims, unstaking, and node burns closed when mint.powerloom.network went offline at 6:00 AM UTC on July 16.　　Powerloom says unclaimed rewards, staked POWER, or node-slot funds that still depended on those dashboard workflows can no longer be recovered. The remaining eligible group is holders with liquid on-chain balances; users waiting on claims or unstaking have no recovery path.　　What disappears after the deadline　　Powerloom says the chain will stop producing blocks at shutdown. Contracts and state on the network will become inaccessible, and the Arbitrum-based bridge will stop functioning because it will no longer have an operating source chain to connect to.　　That dependency is the wider risk behind the deadline. A bridge works only

Tether's USDT hits 2-year countdown threatening its position on U.S. crypto platforms

SummaryThe GENIUS Act that governs U.S. stablecoin issuers is complicated and a work-in-progress, but now that its first anniversary is reached, Tether and other non-U.S. issuers have two years left to figure out their compliance strategies.The one-year mark was supposed to see the federal financial regulators finishing their stablecoin rules, but none have done so, yet, leaving some compliance uncertainty.The basic outlines of the U.S. standards, though, would force the most widely circulated coin — Tethers USDT — to make a lot of major changes before it could satisfy the law.　　The worlds leading stablecoin by volume, Tethers USDT, could be shoved out of the U.S. markets if the company doesnt revamp dramatically in the next two years.　　Despite assurances last year from CEO Paolo Ardoino that the stablecoin giant would achieve U.S. compliance for USDT, the company hasnt yet revealed a sharp turn toward the demands of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, which became law one year ago.　　With that consequential anniversary of President Donald Trumps signing of the law passing on Saturday, the industry has marked a surge in stablecoin interest and issuance, plus a wide array of crypto and traditional financial firms pursuing U.S.

Kraken says simpler options can unlock crypto's next derivatives market

Derivatives account for the vast majority of crypto trading volumes, but options remain a relatively small corner of the market, dominated by a handful of established venues including Deribit, CME Group and Binance. New entrants are increasingly betting that broader adoption of options will follow the institutionalization of digital assets.　　The move is the latest step in Krakens transformation from a crypto exchange into a broader financial platform offering trading, payments and other digital asset services.　　Growing the market, not just market share　　Rather than focusing solely on taking market share from incumbent venues, Theodorou believes the larger opportunity is expanding the addressable market by making options easier to use.　　“The existing options market in crypto has been built for a narrow slice of the trader base,” Theodorou said.　　“Our offering broadens access through a straightforward, dollar-settled contract in the same account clients already use for spot and futures,” she added.　　A retail-first approach　　According to Theodorou, the slow growth of crypto options is less a demand problem than a product design problem.　　“The gap in crypto options isnt demand, its design,” Theodorou said.　　She notes that existing crypto options platforms have largely catered to institutional traders and market makers, while retail traders instead have gravitated toward perpetual futures,

Crypto executives say digital native generations may never need a bank account

Jan said many Binance employees, including himself, already keep most of their assets on the exchange. “I could make payments, I could use my debit card to spend whatever I need wherever I want,” he said.　　Lines are blurring　　Eneko Knorr, co-founder and CEO of Dubai-based stablecoin company Stabolut, said the line between banks and crypto companies is becoming harder to see.　　“Today, you see regular banks offering crypto, and crypto platforms offering real bank accounts and normal banking services,” Knorr told CoinDesk. “Of course, the world still runs on regular money, so we all have to make a standard bank transfer to pay rent or the utility bills.”　　Knorr said younger customers may choose an app that combines stablecoins with daily banking services.　　Rohan Misra, head of the Gulf Cooperation Council region and SEO of AMINA Bank ADGM, said stablecoins are increasingly used for payments and settlement but still need regulated banking infrastructure.　　“The wallet alone isnt the bank account,” Misra said. “The regulated infrastructure around it is.”　　Misra also questioned whether self-custody, where users control their private keys, would become the default.　　“Self-custody means if someone accesses your private key, your assets are gone with no recourse, no recovery and no insurance,” he said. “Thats cash

Here is why a massive $1.6 billion in crypto liquidity is sitting idle and wasting away

Around 54% of liquidity in positions below $1,000 was out of range, compared with 26% for positions above $1 million. Yet positions worth more than $1 million accounted for 47% of all idle capital, or roughly $260 million.　　While contract-managed positions stayed within a more consistent range, individual wallets accounted for between 82% and 94% of the attributed idle capital on Uniswap v3, depending on the chain. That suggests liquidity deposited directly by users and requiring manual adjustments is more likely to go unattended and fall out of range.　　Dune estimated that these out-of-range providers, that are sitting idle, could be missing roughly $150 million in fees each year, based on a blended in-range fee APR of about 35%.　　Liquidity providers deposit token pairs that decentralized exchanges use to complete swaps. They earn a share of the fees paid for trades using that liquidity pool while their positions remain in the range they set.　　However, the research said that the figure is not guaranteed recoverable income. Keeping positions active can add transaction costs, execution risk and exposure to unfavorable price movements.　　1inch commissioned the research ahead of the planned launch of , a new liquidity protocol. Dune said it developed the methodology and reached its

Massive bitcoin call spreads target $72,000 by month end, right when the Fed meets

SummaryTraders have bought $2.5 billion in notional bitcoin call spreads on Deribit, targeting $72,000 by July 31.The timing aligns with the Feds July 29 interest rate decision, with markets currently favoring a hold.　　Bitcoin traders are betting billions that the cryptocurrencys spot price will climb to $72,000 by the months end, a timeline that lines up with the July Federal Reserve meeting.　　They have done so this week with the help of Deribit-listed bitcoin call options, or derivative contracts that pay off when BTCs spot price surges beyond specific price levels by a certain date.　　According to Deribit, a total of 20,000 contracts of the $70,000 call expiring July 31 were purchased alongside a sale of 20,000 contracts of the $72,000 call of the same expiry. That amounts to $2.5 billion in notional value, the dollar value of 40,000 contracts, each representing 1 bitcoin.　　This is known as a bull call spread, a strategy initiated when expecting a moderate rise in the price of the underlying asset.　　Think of it as buying a ticket that pays out if bitcoin rises to $70,000, while selling away the gains above $72,000 to lower the cost of that ticket. The trade-off: a lower entry cost and lower maximum

Tokenization has become a strategic priority for 84% of financial firms

On Wednesday, DTCC completed its first live production trades involving tokenized securities, marking a major step toward bringing blockchain technology into traditional financial markets.　　Broadridges findings suggest those efforts are influencing the broader industry. Sixty-eight percent of respondents said tokenization will at least partially reshape financial markets within the next three to five years, while nearly one-third plan to increase investment in tokenization projects by 26% to 50% or more over the next two years.　　The survey also found firms are not preparing for an all-onchain future. Instead, 92% expect digital and traditional assets to coexist for the foreseeable future, and 69% plan to integrate tokenization into existing infrastructure rather than build separate blockchain-native systems.　　That mirrors the approach taken by many large financial institutions, which have generally focused on connecting blockchain networks to existing trading, custody and settlement systems instead of replacing them.　　Adoption remains uneven across the industry. Forty-four percent of capital markets firms said they already have tokenization initiatives in production or operating at scale, compared with 20% of asset managers and 9% of wealth managers.　　The survey also pointed to where firms expect tokenization to gain traction first. About 80% of respondents believe tokenized mutual funds and money market funds will

South Korea weighs new legal framework for seizing self custodied crypto

South Korean tax officials have proposed amendments to the countrys Criminal Procedure Act to establish a legal framework for seizing self-custodied digital assets, arguing that existing rules do not adequately cover wallets controlled through private keys.　　SummarySouth Korean tax officials have proposed changes to criminal law to allow the seizure of self custodied digital assets.The proposal sets out warrant requirements and recommends court supervised joint wallets to store seized crypto assets.The recommendations follow recent efforts by the National Tax Service to strengthen crypto custody after a security breach exposed seized assets.　　According to Digital Asset, four officials from South Korea‘s National Tax Service, including investigation team leader Jang Hee-won, published a paper in the June edition of the Korea Institute of Criminology and Justice’s Criminal Policy Research journal outlining legislative changes for handling self-custodied virtual assets during criminal investigations.　　The proposal focuses on digital assets held directly by individuals through private keys rather than those stored with exchanges or other third-party custodians. Personal wallets, including hardware wallets, fall into this category.　　Existing law leaves gaps for self-custodied assets　　The paper points to a 2025 South Korean Supreme Court ruling that found investigators acted lawfully when seizing Bitcoin held in an exchange wallet.
