In DeFi, many platforms operate without an operator or admin, just self-executing code. Instead, Atkins has asked staff to look into a new framework that would allow compliant firms to innovate and market innovative on-chain tech in the U.S.

Key Takeaways

Aave has officially deployed in Sony’s Soneium blockchain.
The AAVE token is trading up 16% at $295.55 in the past 24 hours.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is considering a new “innovation exemption” framework for DeFi protocols.

One of Web3’s leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols Aave has deployed on Sony’s blockchain network, Soneium, bringing a major tech and liquidity boost with it.
This latest integration follows the Aave founder’s recent White House visit, which coincided with bullish news from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on DeFi innovation.

Soneium’s DeFi Boost

According to a press release shared with CCN, leading DeFi liquidity protocol Aave has deployed on Sony’s Ethereum Layer-2, Soneium.

Launched in 2023 and developed by Sony Block Solutions, Soneium has sought to position itself as a consumer-focused network.

With hopes of onboarding millions to Web3 with purpose-built applications, as well as becoming the go-to gateway for on-chain entertainment, this latest integration marks a major step forward for Sony’s flagship Web3 project.

According to the release, Soneium has tallied over 133 million on-chain transactions across more than 6.6 million wallets.

Aave’s deployment will bring its market-leading liquidity tech, plus two stablecoins, Tether’s cross-chain USDT0, and bridged USD Coin (USDC.e), as well as Wrapped Ethereum (WETH), to Soneium.

Notably, Aave will also contribute 100 million Astar (ASTR) tokens as part of an ecosystem-wide liquidity boost.

Aave is moving fast. Over the past year, the protocol has integrated with around a dozen other networks, including the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Binance’s BNB Chain, and Aptos.

White House Visit

The announcement comes shortly after the founder of Aave’s parent company, Avara, Stani Kulechov, visited the White House for a meeting with Bo Hines, the Executive Director of the Council of Advisers on Digital Assets.

According to Kulechov, the two discussed protecting U.S. DeFi innovation. Hines was Donald Trump’s pick to lead his crypto council and is a notable backer of the pending stablecoin legislation, the GENIUS Act.

With bullish sentiment flying, and Bitcoin now pushing toward $110,000, the AAVE token has relished 16% gains in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $295.55 with a $4.49 billion market cap.

The news neatly ties in with a bullish statement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which, under new leadership, is aiming to do a u-turn on the previous administration’s restrictive regulatory approach to crypto.

SEC on DeFi

Despite being one of the leading entities in the DeFi space, there’s still plenty of room for Aave to grow. And another crypto policy shift from the SEC could be Aave’s next major catalyst for change.

Recently, the SEC’s new Chairman, Paul Atkins, hinted at an “innovation exemption” for numerous DeFi protocols.

In short, Atkins posited that the system of securities regulation may not work when applied to decentralized ecosystems, as the current standards are based on regulating issuers and intermediaries.

Pantera Capital: As Perpetual Contracts Move Towards the Financial Center, Hyperliquid Aims to Be All-Encompassing

Perpetual futures ("perps"), once a crypto-native phenomenon, are becoming a dominant global financial instrument, evolving into a fundamental market structure shift that traditional finance can no longer ignore. This article outlines the advantages of perpetual contracts over traditional futures, highlighting their simplicity (no expiry/rollover), easier risk management, and native 24/7 operation. While the concept is not new, digital assets provided the ideal environment for its explosive growth. Initially dominated by centralized exchanges (CEX), perps have recently migrated significantly to decentralized exchanges (DEX), with Hyperliquid emerging as the leading DEX for perps, capturing ~40% of the on-chain volume. Hyperliquid, built on its own purpose-built L1 blockchain, has successfully expanded beyond crypto into traditional assets like stocks, commodities, and indices, driven by its permissionless listing framework (HIP-3) and 24/7 availability. It has become a crucial price discovery venue during off-hours and for pre-IPO companies, attracting attention from traditional hedge funds and major exchanges like ICE, which now views it as serious competition. The investment thesis for Hyperliquid's token, HYPE, rests on its large and growing total addressable market (TAM) across all finance, strong execution, superior user experience, and direct value accrual via aggressive token buybacks using 99% of protocol revenue. Key risks remain, primarily regulatory uncertainty in the U.S., though recent CFTC actions approving certain regulated crypto perp contracts signal a potential shift toward broader acceptance. The core question is no longer if perpetuals matter beyond crypto, but whether blockchain-based infrastructure like Hyperliquid can become the primary venue for pricing, trading, and discovering risk across all financial domains.

Sky Protocol prints record $419mln revenue – Will 2026 keep favoring it?

Sky Protocol reported strong growth amid a struggling broader crypto market in 2026, with its annualized gross revenue run rate reaching a record $419.08 million. The protocol's reserves grew to $82.5 million, and cumulative yield for sUSDS holders surpassed $250 million. sUSDS deposits and USDS supply saw significant year-over-year increases of 85% and 96.9%, respectively. Following the positive report, the native token SKY posted gains, reclaiming key moving averages and trading around $0.0602. The rally was supported by increased capital inflows, with USD inflows surging to $120 million and strengthened demand in both Spot and Futures markets. Technical indicators like the Stochastic Momentum Index suggested improving momentum, potentially opening the door for a move toward $0.064. However, a loss of momentum could see SKY retreat to $0.056. The team also announced plans to enhance ecosystem security and reduce operational costs.

Tiger Research: Zuckerberg Begins Betting on Prediction Markets, While Asian Nations Still View Them as Gambling

This article examines the rise of prediction markets, contrasting their growing institutional acceptance in the West with their restrictive regulation in Asia. It details how prediction markets, which originated from informal political betting and academic experiments like the Iowa Electronic Market, aggregate crowd wisdom into probabilistic prices through binary contracts. Their growth accelerated around 2020, reaching over $14 billion in monthly volume. A key driver is the "skin in the game" principle, where users risk their own capital, leading to high accuracy in predicting events like Fed rate decisions and elections, as demonstrated by platforms like Polymarket. Meta's entry, with Mark Zuckerberg reportedly leading the development of the Arena app, signals the market's maturation. In the U.S., court rulings have distinguished prediction markets from gambling, facilitating entry by traditional financial institutions. However, most Asian jurisdictions still classify them as gambling, focusing on social control rather than financial innovation. The article argues this stance creates three problems for Asia: 1) regulatory arbitrage pushes users to riskier offshore platforms, 2) loss of sovereign information infrastructure as valuable social sentiment data accumulates abroad, and 3) abandonment of user protection. It concludes that Asia needs a policy shift from prohibition to constructive regulation, integrating these markets into the formal system to harness their data as a national asset, as initiatives like Limitless Research are beginning to do.

JPMorgan backs crypto bill as Donald Trump vows to ‘not sign other bills’ – What now?

The House-passed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 faces an uncertain future despite gaining significant backing from JPMorgan, a major shift for the traditionally crypto-skeptical bank. According to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe, this support is crucial as regulatory uncertainty has been the largest obstacle to institutional adoption. Should the bill pass, it could simplify market entry for institutional investors, potentially leading to wider cryptocurrency uptake. However, approval odds on Polymarket have dropped to 45%. Supporters, including Rep. French Hill and former CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, are pushing for a Senate vote before the August recess to force a compromise. Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin also supports the legislation. Yet, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticizes the current draft as enabling sanctions evasion. A further complication is former President Donald Trump's vow not to sign other bills until the SAVE America Act is passed, pushing the CLARITY Act's next deadline to August 7th.

Ethereum's Next Decade in the Eyes of Vitalik

"Lean Ethereum" Long-Term Roadmap Unveiled by Vitalik Buterin On July 5, 2026, Vitalik Buterin published the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, positioning it as Ethereum's third major evolution following the Merge. This multi-year, multi-phase upgrade aims to fundamentally transform Ethereum's core protocol through staged network upgrades extending to 2029. Key goals include achieving 1 gigagas per second L1 throughput (a massive increase from the current ~32 TPS), near-instant finality, and quantum-resistant cryptography. The plan involves transitioning Ethereum's security model from full transaction re-execution by all nodes to native verification via recursive STARK proofs. A major proposed change is replacing the EVM with a proof-friendly architecture like RISC-V or leanISA, though this remains a point of contention, especially with L2s like Arbitrum favoring alternatives like WASM. Other planned upgrades include a restructured state model with a large, cheap "warehouse" storage layer to drastically reduce fees for migrated applications, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and a new focus on making privacy a first-class, native protocol feature. While the roadmap significantly raises Ethereum's long-term technical ceiling, analysts note it does not directly address ETH's mid-term token economics or value capture. The plan's multi-year timeline means near-term price impact will likely depend on observable progress milestones, such as the successful deployment of the upcoming Glamsterdam gas limit increase, growth in L2 activity and blob usage, and trends in L1 fee revenue and ETH burn.
