0x Protocol has opened its Cross-Chain API to general availability with 12 bridge providers live from day one, including Circle, LayerZero, Stargate and Across — accessible through a single API integration.

Sky (formerly MakerDAO) launched Fixed Yield on Wednesday — a term-based alternative to the variable Sky Savings Rate built on Pendle Protocol v2, giving sUSDS depositors a locked rate to a named maturity date.

The yield-tokenization protocol's $233M-mcap token is now buyable inside Revolut's MiCA-licensed crypto app across the UK, EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein — the second on-chain yield protocol to land on the fintech's regulated rails after Maple's SYRUP in April.

Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework — which lets anyone deploy a perpetual futures market on the protocol's settlement layer — cleared $62 billion in May volume, pushing the venue to a record 6.63% share of global perps and 14.4% against Binance.

The exchange's venture arm bought ENA tokens directly on the open market rather than through a private round, the first such disclosed purchase, alongside a partnership to push Ethena's onchain dollar and savings products into Coinbase's userbase.

A federal judge in the Northern District of California reversed the temporary restraining order that had pushed Circle to blacklist the privacy protocol's wrapper, restoring funds to depositors caught in a civil dispute they were not party to.

Hardware wallets are quietly converging on a new feature: native DeFi yield. Ledger launched stablecoin yield with Kiln in April 2025. Tangem followed with Aave in late 2025. Trezor’s version, powered by Morpho, launched in late May 2026.

OpenSea Product Marketing Lead Zack Brenner asked users on X who wanted early access to perpetual contracts, then confirmed the product would run on Hyperliquid's builder-code rails — the clearest signal yet the NFT marketplace is bolting on a derivatives venue.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed splitting 1 ETH into two paired option assets that always sum back to 1 ETH, eliminating forced liquidations and letting synthetics rely on slow, prediction-market-style oracles.

The OCC-chartered crypto bank is positioning its Atlas network as a coordinated multiparty settlement layer for institutional trading on Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aave — letting funds touch live DeFi without moving assets offshore or prefunding venues.
