Crypto VC Framework Ventures has closed a $400 million fourth fund, its biggest move yet to invest beyond crypto into adjacent frontier technology, Fortune reports.

Founded in 2019 by ex-Netflix and ex-Snapchat alumni Vance Spencer and Michael Anderson, the firm has grown beyond DeFi into AI and infrastructure investing.

The fund matches the size of its 2022 third fund and pushes Framework's assets under management well past the $1.4 billion mark.

From GRVT and PROPR TGEs to Solana's Alpenglow mainnet and Circle's Arc — here's what to watch from June through August.

Key dates: MiCA's CASP transitional period ends July 1, Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta sunsets July 1, DTCC begins its tokenized-securities pilot in July, and Zcash ships its Ironwood shielded-pool upgrade in late July. Dates are targets and may shift.

Alchemix (ALCX), Ardor (ARDR), NFPrompt (NFP), and Marlin (POND) spot trading will cease at 03:00 UTC on 2026-07-10, following Binance's periodic review of listed assets.

Story Protocol has rebranded as the DATA Foundation, shifting from general IP infrastructure to onchain rails for licensable, verifiable AI training data.

It launched Trace, a registry minting an onchain receipt for every data contribution, with a flagship Kled integration adding over 1.5 billion user records.

Story's IP token migrates one-to-one to a new DATA token. Co-founder Andrea Muttoni becomes CEO, with Kled's Avi Patel joining as chief data officer.

Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink has added 5,000 ETH worth about $7.85 million, its first ether purchase in eight months, with onchain analysts at EmberCN flagging an inflow from the exchange FalconX.

The buy lands as ETH slid to $1,537, its lowest level of 2026. SharpLink's previous purchase was 19,270 ETH back in October 2025.

SharpLink now holds 876,285 ETH worth roughly $1.3 billion at an average cost near $3,609 — leaving the stack about $1.79 billion underwater at current prices.

Polymarket says it will fully refund users after a hacked third-party vendor let attackers inject malicious code into its website and drain about $3 million from customer wallets.

The attack hit pUSD, Polymarket's USDC-backed stablecoin, before funds were swapped to ETH. Bubblemaps says it was largely contained, with fewer than 15 accounts touched.

Polymarket says the frontend issue is now contained and removed — its second breach in a month, after a roughly $700K employee-wallet hack in May.

Kraken, part of Payward, is in talks to take a 15% stake in DeFi lender Aave at a $385 million valuation — reportedly putting up 35,000 ETH for 250,000 AAVE plus an equity slice.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov pushed back hard, saying there is 'NO WAY' Aave would sell AAVE at a 70% discount to its fully diluted value.

The talks are part of Payward's push to diversify ahead of a possible IPO, with the Aave stake slated as the first deal for its new Payward Asset Management arm.
