When routers hunt for the cheapest path between two stablecoins, a few basis points can decide where millions in flow land. Bancor just made that race more interesting: a 0.001% taker fee on select stable-to-stable pairs on Carbon DeFi — one-tenth of a basis point — is now on the table.On May 1, 2026, a Bancor forum post proposed a 0.001% fee for TAC (Carbon) stable pairs like USDT/USN, and by May 14 a comment confirmed it had “passed and was implemented” (Bancor Governance Forum (proposal page)). A Level‑2 proposal went live on June 1 to take a similar 0.001%…

Second, a Bitcoin development lab, has officially launched Bark — its implementation of the Ark protocol — on the Bitcoin mainnet, opening up self-custodial bitcoin payments to developers and everyday users alike without the complexity traditionally associated with Lightning Network or on-chain transactions. Bark is built on the Ark protocol, a layer-2 solution that allows large numbers of users to share on-chain UTXOs via trees of pre-signed, off-chain transactions, spreading fee costs across participants while preserving individual self-custody.  Unlike Lightning, Ark requires no channel management or liquidity pre-allocation, addressing pain points that have long kept mainstream users tethered to custodial…

Rebeca Moen Jun 09, 2026 12:49 European Commission adviser Peter Kerstens believes tokenization and real-world asset markets should take precedence over DeFi regulation in future EU priorities. The European Union should prioritize building a regulatory framework for tokenized assets and real-world asset (RWA) markets over attempting to regulate decentralized finance (DeFi), according to Peter Kerstens, a European Commission adviser and one of the architects of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Speaking at the WAIB Summit in Monaco, Kerstens emphasized that tokenization represents a more significant opportunity for the EU than creating a…

The BlackRock and XRP story has been circling crypto forums for a while now, but on-chain researcher SMQKE has put something a bit more concrete on the table. A documented link between the $14 trillion asset manager and Ripple’s ecosystem is getting attention right now, and it runs through Wormhole, the blockchain interoperability protocol that powers BlackRock’s tokenization work and, at the time of writing, also carries Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin across more than 40 different blockchains. The BlackRock and XRP overlap, also tied to broader XRP real-world assets activity and XRP Ledger tokenization, turns out to be more structural than…

Testing found something conventional methods missed. Ripple software engineer Vito Tumas disclosed that the formal verification process being applied to the XRP Ledger’s upcoming lending protocol has already uncovered complex edge cases that standard testing procedures failed to detect. Ripple is working alongside blockchain security firm Common Prefix on the effort. Together, the teams construct an abstract model of the protocol and continuously compare it against the C++ implementation of xrpld — the XRP Ledger’s server software — using a verification framework built to catch discrepancies and potential vulnerabilities before they reach users. Why Traditional Testing Falls Short Tumas explained…

The latest rescue of blue-chip NFTs from vulnerable pools has reopened a hard question for DeFi: when you deposit into a shared smart contract, where does your custody risk really sit?This article unpacks Flooring Protocol’s white-hat recovery, the bug class that enabled it, and why pooled custody remains a structural risk in NFT and token liquidity designs. You’ll leave with concrete steps to evaluate protocols, compare custody models, and avoid common pitfalls.The aim isn’t alarmism, but clarity: smart contracts concentrate risk differently than wallets or marketplaces — and that matters when the pool holds irreplaceable NFTs.Flooring Protocol’s NFT rescue underscores…

Dogecoin traded near $0.0865 on June 9 after recovering from a low close to $0.0845, according to crypto.news data.  Summary Dogecoin holds near $0.086 while $0.081 remains the main support protecting its long-term channel structure. Whales accumulated over 200 million DOGE, but falling distribution data still shows weak broader demand. A weekly close below $0.081 could expose $0.067 before reaching the deeper $0.058 channel floor. The OG memecoin gained about 0.6% over 24 hours, but remained down almost 14% across seven days and more than 20% over one month. The recovery has not changed the wider bearish structure. Dogecoin still…
