Having recently won the third parachain auction slot and going live on the Polkadot mainnet this year, Cosmos, and all major layer 1 blockchains. It offers a range of technology solutions and financial incentives via its Build2Earn and Astar Incubation Program for Web3 developers to build on top of a secure, scalable and interoperable blockchain.

The TVL represents the token value that has been staked on Astar and demonstrates the long-term confidence of the project’s investors and community. Even more impressive is that the $1 billion figure represents 45% of the TVL on Polkadot. Earlier this year, the network raised $22 million in a strategic funding round led by Polychain with high profile investors such as Alameda Research, Alchemy Ventures and Crypto.com giving their support to Astars vision.

Build2Earn

With their Build2Earn programme Astar wants to revolutionize how developers are incentivised to build blockchain software and harness a self-sustaining ecosystem for the future. Smart contract developers can receive a basic income from Astar tokens that have been staked against any dApp that they create. Through this dApp staking programme, developers are free to work on dApps that they are passionate about, independently, without requiring investment from third parties prior to development.

What makes Astar Network stand out from the crowd?

Astar is supporting both Ethereum Virtual Machine and WebAssembly. Developers can deploy existing Solidity contracts as well as Polkadot native smart contracts. It also supports bridges. After only three months of being live on the Polkadot mainnet, Astar Network has already bridged over $180M in Ethereum assets. The success of Astar to date is also attributed to the quality of the dApps being built on top of the blockchain. Astar Network already has 40+ dApps on its network, including some DeFi protocols that have already amassed huge popularity in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Partners in high places

Interestingly, one of the world’s leading tech giants Microsoft has recently partnered up with Astar to assist them with their incubation program. Microsoft has agreed to assist chosen businesses from the Astar Incubation Program with marketing support and mentorship. All approved projects will get exclusive access to the Microsoft for Startups Founders hub bringing the two technology companies closer together.

Parachains bring recognition

Astar Network has capitalized on its parachain slot, using every opportunity to advance its features, developer community and partnerships. Polkadot’s technical advancements paired with the flexibility of Substrate has attracted the second largest developer community. Now that parachains are live, it is time to showcase the developers capabilities to the world.

When projects participate in a crowdloan for a parachain slot they often gather the support of their communities in exchange for their native token. Equilibrium won the most recent parachain slot with over 610,000 DOT and 1,685 contributors . Unique Network is positioning its project for the next parachain with over 524,000 DOT contributed from 2,271 contributors. Each parachain brings unique functionality and use-cases to the ecosystem.

Bitcoin miner Riot’s 500 BTC transfer sparks sell-off fears – Correction possible IF…

Riot Platforms transferred 500 BTC (approx. $30.7M) to NYDIG Custody, sparking sell-off speculation. However, this movement alone does not confirm a sale, as it could be routine treasury management. The company's Bitcoin reserves have decreased from 19,368 BTC at the end of 2025 to 15,680 BTC, following sales earlier in 2026. This trend is mirrored by other major miners like Hut 8, Mara Holdings, and Core Scientific, who have also reduced their BTC holdings. The article links these reserve adjustments to changing mining dynamics in 2026. After a profitable late-2025 period, Bitcoin's price drop from over $120,000 to around $65,000, combined with high network hashrate and mining difficulty, created a financial squeeze. This has led to less efficient miners shutting down equipment and financially stable firms actively managing their Bitcoin reserves rather than simply holding them. The overall network hashrate has declined from its peak, putting constant pressure on mining profitability.

Breaking: Alibaba Bans Claude Entirely, Mandatory Uninstallation Effective July 10th

Alibaba has issued an internal notice to completely ban the use of Claude and all other Anthropic products, effective July 10. The decision follows the discovery of a covert user detection mechanism in Claude Code, starting from version 2.1.91 released in April 2026. The mechanism reportedly operated in three steps: secretly identifying users in China by checking system time zones and proxy/API addresses for keywords related to major Chinese tech and AI firms; silently tagging these users by subtly altering date formats and characters in system prompts to encode status information; and transmitting this modified data back to Anthropic's servers with normal requests. This code was intentionally obfuscated and not mentioned in update logs. Anthropic has acknowledged this "experimental" feature and claims to have removed it in a July 2 update. However, the breach of trust, coupled with a recent wave of account bans for Chinese users—often without refunds—prompted Alibaba's decisive action. The company will promote its self-developed Qoder as an alternative. This move signifies a major shift for Chinese tech giants, from actively adopting powerful external AI tools to prioritizing security and control over core business operations.

How Far Are We from the End of the Crypto Bear Market?

How Much Longer Until the Crypto Bear Market Ends? A persistent negative Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, reaching a record 46 consecutive days of negative values, underscores the ongoing crypto bear market. The downturn accelerated in late May/early June when MicroStrategy (referred to as "Strategy" in the text), a major BTC holder, sold a small amount of Bitcoin (32 BTC), shattering market confidence and triggering sharp declines in BTC, ETH, and SOL. This was compounded by sustained net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. June saw Bitcoin briefly fall below $60,000, its worst weekly performance since 2022, breaking below the critical 200-week moving average—a signal some analysts consider confirmation of a bear market. While some institutional analyses in mid-June suggested the bottom might be near (e.g., around $53,600 based on realized price, or a potential end during the 2026 World Cup summer), further price drops quickly disproved these optimistic forecasts. Key bear market indicators include: the severe de-pegging of MicroStrategy's preferred shares (STRC) from their $100 NAV, which later recovered partly due to company stabilization plans; a record number of BTC (over 10.83 million) and a significant portion of long-term ETH holders now in unrealized loss; and Bitcoin's price trading below its 200-week moving average. Predictions for the bear market's end vary. Some, like investor Yilihua, suggest July-August 2026 could present a final buying opportunity. Others, like miner Jiang Zhu'o'er, predict a bottom between $42,000-$44,000 in October-December 2026, based on the historical lag between MicroStrategy's mNAV ratio bottom and Bitcoin's price bottom. Technical indicators like the BTC 4-year average price index dipped briefly below 1, and the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, suggesting a need for a price rebound to around $77,000 for a return to positive territory. In the absence of major external catalysts, the consensus leans toward the bear market persisting for another 2-3 months, with late September to early October 2026 being a potential turning point window.

Solana Ecosystem Shows Signs of Recovery: On-Chain Governance Upgrade, Tokenized Stocks and Meme Coins Heat Up

Solana Ecosystem Shows Signs of Revival: Governance Upgrades, Tokenized Stocks, and Memecoins Heat Up While the broader crypto market faces a downturn, Solana has shown relative strength with its price rising nearly 15% recently. This resilience is attributed to warming ecosystem activity, particularly in tokenized stocks and memecoins, coupled with a major upgrade to its on-chain governance. In the Real World Assets (RWA) sector, Solana now leads all public chains in both the number of unique holder wallets and the quantity of RWA assets. Its tokenized stock weekly trading volume has surged to a record $1.42 billion, capturing about 96% of the market share, largely driven by the Backpack exchange. Simultaneously, the Solana memecoin sector has reignited, fueled by the rapid ascent of the ANSEM token following endorsements from a prominent crypto influencer. This has boosted activity across platforms like Pump.fun and increased fee revenue for several Solana-based exchanges. A key development is the launch of Solana Governance Proposals (SGP), a new on-chain mechanism. It allows validators with at least 100,000 SOL delegated to submit proposals for community vote, enhancing decentralized decision-making. SGP will operate alongside the existing technical proposal process (SIMD), focusing on broader ecosystem governance. Despite these positive signals in specific areas, overall on-chain activity and transaction volumes still lag behind previous bull market peaks, indicating the recovery remains partial rather than ecosystem-wide.

While Semiconductor Stocks Plunge, Anthropic Plans to Develop a 2nm Chip

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, is exploring the development of its own custom AI chip, according to a report from The Information. The company is in early discussions with Samsung Electronics to manufacture the chip using Samsung's most advanced 2-nanometer process and packaging technology. While the project is still in preliminary stages, including defining chip specifications, and could be abandoned, it marks a strategic step for Anthropic. The move comes as the company seeks greater control over its computing costs and hardware optimization, particularly for inference tasks to run its models more efficiently and cheaply. Samsung's potential involvement follows its participation as a strategic investor in Anthropic's recent $65 billion funding round. For Samsung, partnering with a major AI lab represents a significant opportunity for its foundry business to compete with market leader TSMC in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has previously highlighted the immense financial challenge of securing enough computing power for anticipated growth, making cost-effective inference a critical focus. The company would join other tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI in pursuing custom AI silicon. However, analysts note this trend creates deeper interdependencies rather than independence, as US AI labs become more tightly woven into Asian semiconductor supply chains. Despite this move, Anthropic remains heavily reliant on a multi-cloud, multi-vendor strategy for its immediate computing needs. It has secured massive, long-term commitments for capacity from Amazon Web Services (Trainium chips), Google (TPUs), and even leased a large GPU cluster from xAI. For now, Nvidia continues to dominate the AI chip market, with its share reportedly growing to 74%.
