ENS tokenholders approved the Next Era of ENS DAO proposal with about 70% support, putting the $65M endowment under a newly operational ENS Foundation with a five-member board, an executive director and staff.

The DAO keeps its 54.6% token majority and authority over the protocol, but the Foundation can now do what a purely decentralized body cannot: engage institutions like ICANN and defend ENS trademarks. The endowment is funded from .eth registration fees.

The revamp lands after a governance fight, when ENS Labs CEO Nick Johnson self-delegated 3.26M tokens to block a Security Council renewal, a move critics called a governance attack.

An attacker minted bout 26% of supply, inflating the token count from around 15B to 19B and sending ONE down 38%.

Harmony asked exchanges to freeze funds tied to four wallets, paused its token bridge, and said it is working on a patch and rollback options. The team has not yet explained how the attacker was able to mint the tokens.

It stirs memories of Harmony's 2022 Horizon bridge hack, a roughly $100M theft the FBI attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group, plus a 2023 staking bug that mis-minted 146M ONE.

eToro agreed to acquire US online brokerage TradeZero for up to $231M in cash and new shares, its biggest move yet to expand in the American market.

Founded in 2015, TradeZero brings broker-dealer infrastructure, execution technology and access to Canada, on roughly $80M of revenue at an 81% gross margin. eToro says the deal is accretive in year one and adds an experienced active-trader team.

Unveiled alongside eToro's Q2 earnings beat, the acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.

The biggest AI companies in the world are still private, and normally that means only insiders and funds get exposure. Bitget changes that: its pre-IPO board lets you trade the names before they ever ring the bell, all USDT-margined and 24/7.

Three are live right now on Bitget: OpenAI at a reported ~$852B (20x), Anthropic at ~$965B (20x), and Moonshot AI, the team behind Kimi, at a rumored ~$50B (10x).

The startup is building a prime brokerage for prediction markets: a single terminal and API to trade every venue like Kalshi and Polymarket, with cross-exchange routing and the pro order types desks expect, such as icebergs, pegs and stop-losses.

It is pitched as institutional infrastructure for one of crypto's fastest-growing arenas, event contracts.

Anthropic is targeting a late September or early October IPO and has begun meeting investors, the Wall Street Journal reported, months after a confidential SEC filing that could bring one of the largest AI listings yet.

Recently valued near $965B, the AI lab has lined up Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley for a possible Nasdaq listing, as it races OpenAI to public markets. Separately, Anthropic said it will watermark the text and files its models generate, adding C2PA metadata to comply with the EU AI Act, applied worldwide.

The filing is confidential, so the timing stays unofficial and could shift with market conditions.

The hub will bring tokenized RWAs on-chain, much of it on Coinbase's Base network, as the exchange pushes institutional tokenization into the Middle East. ADGM has become a magnet for on-chain finance under the FSRA's virtual-asset framework.

It follows Coinbase taking exposure to a tokenized Mubadala Capital fund that has already drawn about $75M on-chain.

No matter what the market's doing — green, red, sideways — new projects keep launching every week. And the best window to get involved is the earliest one: before the token, before the crowd, while the door's still open.

We rounded up 12 fresh projects with open waitlists into one Early Access Radar — DePIN, perp DEXs, Neobanks, Prediction Markets. A few minutes each, all in one place, so you don't have to go hunting.

FlightAware sued Kalshi, alleging the prediction market used its flight-tracking data without permission to run flight-cancellation betting markets and falsely presented FlightAware as a partner.

The suit claims Kalshi violated FlightAware's trademark and contract rights, and seeks a temporary restraining order plus injunctions. FlightAware warns the markets could strand travelers, disrupt airline operations, and even push people toward unsafe actions.

It piles onto Kalshi's mounting legal troubles, from a New York illegal-gambling suit to blocked sports contracts in Washington and Michigan.

Anthropic signed a 20-year, $9.1B lease for 191 MW of capacity at Riot Platforms' Rockdale campus in Texas, per Bloomberg, marking the Bitcoin miner's biggest pivot into AI infrastructure.

The contract runs through June 2048, with full deployment targeted for June 2028 and 96 MW online by December 2027. Extension options could lift total revenue to $16.1B. Riot secured $573M from Morgan Stanley for initial construction, and its shares jumped about 25% after-hours.

It is the clearest sign yet of Bitcoin miners repurposing cheap power and ready-built sites into compute for the AI boom.
