The price of theLINK token soared to a four-week high following Chainlink's announcement of the staking launch in the second half of 2022.

The price of LINK, the token underpinning the decentralized oracle network Chainlink, has soared to a daily high of $8.86 on Wednesday, a level last seen on May 10.

Though a minor correction has brought LINK to $8.41 by press time, it still represents a solid increase of 10.42% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

This also makes Chainlink's token one of the best-performing assets in the last day as the broader crypto market continues to experience bouts of volatility.

With a market capitalization of over $3.9 billion, Chainlink is currently the industry's 21st-largest digital currency.

Chainlink Economics 2.0

LINK's latest price action follows the publication of its updated roadmap for the implementation of staking—a feature that would enable a system of rewards and penalties designed to incentivize the network's proper operation.

First outlined in an April 2021 white paper and followed by a January 2022 teaser, the idea of earning passive income through staking on Chainlink revolves around giving the ecosystem participants, such as node operators and community members, the ability to increase the security guarantees of oracle services by backing them with staked LINK tokens.

The initial implementation of Chainlink, called v0.1, is projected for the second half of 2022 and will mark the beginning of Chainlink Economics 2.0, the project's "new era of sustainable growth and security."

Pointing to the deep integration of Chainlink's oracles with leading crypto applications, the company said that "the increase in oracle security and user assurances brought about by staking will be key in helping the multi-chain smart contract economy scale to eventually secure multi-trillion-dollar markets across major global industries."

According to Chainlink, the rollout of the staking mechanism will be similar to the deployment of Chainlink Price Feeds—the company's popular price oracle network for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

The latter started with a single price feed for ETH/USD operated by three oracle nodes and grew to support almost a thousand price feeds powered by more than 50 node operators across twelve blockchains and layer-2 solutions.

Currently, Chainlink is trusted by some of the most valuable DeFi apps, including Aave, Compound, dYdX, Synthetix, Nexus Mutual, and more.

The most recent integration happened last week, with Solana adding support for Chainlink Price Feeds.

Coinbase And Ethena Launch High Yield USDC Vault Powered By Morpho

Coinbase has launched a new High Yield USDC Vault in collaboration with Ethena Labs and powered by Morpho, curated by Steakhouse Financial. This marks the first live product from the Coinbase-Ethena partnership, offering Coinbase users access to enhanced yields through a simplified interface. Unlike Coinbase's more conservative vaults, this product accepts a broader collateral mix, including synthetic assets like Ethena's USDe, which allows for higher potential returns but introduces greater risks related to collateral behavior and market dynamics. The annual percentage yields (APYs) are dynamic and not guaranteed. The launch underscores a trend of centralized exchanges packaging complex DeFi strategies into user-friendly products, expanding access while highlighting the need for clear risk disclosure. The vault is currently available to eligible users in the U.S. (excluding New York) and select international markets.

Anthropic Pre-IPO Market Falls After US Directive Forces Model Shutdown

The U.S. government directed Anthropic to globally suspend access to its Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 AI models for all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The emergency export control order followed reports of a non-universal jailbreak vulnerability. Anthropic pushed back, arguing the government provided only verbal evidence of a narrow prompt technique to find minor, known software flaws, and warned that applying such a standard broadly could halt new model deployments across the frontier AI industry. The directive impacted Anthropic's pre-IPO market valuation, with a key perpetual contract falling 3.7%. This highlights how AI regulation is becoming a tradable event, as crypto-linked instruments allow rapid speculation on regulatory news. The incident underscores the integration of AI infrastructure into speculative markets, where valuations can react instantly to government actions, often faster than public evidence emerges.

Exploit Wallet Converts Stolen Tokens Into 18,510 ETH And 1,548 BNB

An exploit-linked wallet has reportedly converted stolen assets into 18,510 ETH (approximately $30.83 million) and 1,548 BNB ($924,000). According to on-chain tracking data cited by WuBlockchain and Lookonchain, the attacker sold compromised "H tokens" to obtain these more liquid assets and still holds an additional 111.36 million H tokens worth about $14 million. This conversion into major cryptocurrencies like ETH and BNB is a common step after an exploit, as attackers move from illiquid, traceable tokens toward deeper, more liquid assets. This consolidation can signal potential next steps, such as moving funds through bridges or mixers, and complicates recovery efforts for security teams. While blockchain analysis provides real-time visibility into such transactions, the identity of the wallet controller often remains uncertain. The data serves as a valuable snapshot of fund movement, highlighting the role of on-chain monitors in tracking security incidents before official investigations are complete.

"119 to 176 Dollars": Behind SpaceX's Listing, MSX Once Again Successfully Executes the Pre-IPO Closed Loop

Following May's 300% gain on Cerebras, MSX delivered another outstanding performance during SpaceX's listing night. On June 12, SpaceX (SPCX) launched on Nasdaq, reaching a high of $176. This marked the successful culmination of MSX's Pre-IPO project launched in March, where users subscribed at $119, achieving gains of approximately 40-48%. This event validated MSX's complete Pre-IPO mechanism, a crucial advantage in a market where access to top-tier private company equity is typically limited to institutions. MSX's model provides a full cycle for users: subscription (at $119 for SpaceX), real-time on-chain portfolio tracking, optional early redemption, seamless conversion to tradable spot assets (SPCX.M) upon IPO, and final settlement in stablecoins. This end-to-end process distinguishes MSX from platforms that faced settlement issues during the SpaceX IPO, highlighting that the core challenge of Pre-IPO is not just access, but a clear exit and conversion path post-listing. This success with SpaceX is MSX's second major Pre-IPO verification, following the Cerebras listing in May, which yielded ~300% returns for early participants. These back-to-back achievements demonstrate MSX's capability to source, structure, and deliver real assets through a replicable on-chain model. The true barrier for Pre-IPO products lies not in providing an entry point, but in ensuring reliable fulfillment from subscription through to post-IPO liquidity. MSX's proven闭环 (closed-loop) process addresses this, offering Web3 users a structured way to access high-growth, pre-public companies in sectors like AI and frontier tech. MSX plans to continue expanding its Pre-IPO portfolio with this focus on authenticity, transparency, and post-listing execution.

Frax Governance Weighs Raising sfrxUSD Aave v4 Allocation Cap To $50 Million

Frax Finance governance is considering a proposal (FIP-4XX) to increase the allocation cap for its sfrxUSD strategy in Aave v4 from $20 million to $50 million. This is framed as a strategic expansion to support ecosystem growth and enhance distribution, not merely a short-term yield play. Aave is a critical DeFi lending market, and deeper integration helps frxUSD and sfrxUSD reach more users and strategies. The raised cap provides deployment flexibility, but actual usage will be managed based on liquidity and risk. The proposal highlights the competition among stablecoin protocols for placement in major DeFi venues and demonstrates how governance uses incremental caps to control growth and risk.
