fomo has secured $75 million in Series B funding led by Index Ventures, with participation from Union Square Ventures and Benchmark.

The platform aims to make on-chain trading accessible to mainstream users by eliminating common crypto barriers such as bridges, gas fees, and complex wallet setups. Users can sign up with Apple ID or email and trade assets across multiple blockchains through a unified experience.

Since launching a year ago, fomo has attracted over 625,000 users, processed more than $4 billion in trading volume, and generated over 110 million social interactions. The platform also onboarded 68,000 first-time crypto buyers, who purchased a combined $25 million in crypto via Apple Pay.

Getty Images Holdings (NYSE: GETY) surged as much as ~200% in premarket trading after announcing a multi-year display/licensing partnership with OpenAI (announced June 21). Getty's library will appear in ChatGPT's search and discovery layer — a reversal from conflict to distribution, with traditional content owners plugging into AI platforms rather than fighting them. The deal comes ~3 years after Getty sued Stability AI for copyright infringement. Financial terms were not disclosed, and it's unclear whether Getty's content will be used for model training or only user-facing retrieval.

Sonic Labs announced that founding board members Andre Cronje, Michael Kong and David Richardson are resigning, with Matt Visser taking over as CEO and Kosta Kourkoumelis as COO. New leadership says the first focus is operational discipline and rebuilding trust; Visser: "I am not here to promise an instant turnaround. I am here to make Sonic 1% better every single day and let that compound." Sonic acknowledged weak token performance and falling community sentiment, pledging a dedicated risk & compliance committee, public decision-making and clearer communication, treating S holders as stakeholders. Development continued uninterrupted: 400+ merged PRs in 2026, two official releases, v2.2.0 in progress and a private testnet under testing.

Weekly snapshot (June 15-22):

The week was marked by small-to-moderate net outflows, continuing the recent trend of volatility and periodic capital withdrawals. 

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $227M in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs saw only $10M in outflows. 

Despite this, strong on-balance-sheet demand remains driven by Strategy’s aggressive accumulation strategy and Strive’s innovative SATA mechanism for Bitcoin, while BitMine Immersion Technologies continues to strengthen demand for Ethereum. 

Recent treasury activity:

- Strategy buys 520 BTC ($34.9M), total now 847,363 BTC ($54.7B).

Goldfinch, the DeFi protocol for real-world emerging-market loans, has proposed maintenance mode and winding down Goldfinch Prime — keeping only a legacy app so users can withdraw what's left.

One of its biggest depositors says $50M+ across 8 loans turned into 2 defaults and 6 restructurings, with only ~30% recovered — a stark epitaph for the emerging-market private-credit experiment.

Proposal GIP-87 unwinds one of DeFi's prominent RWA-credit experiments after years of microloans in Africa and Asia; GFI and FIDU remain, but recovery could take 2+ years.

Korea's Toss Bank — a neobank with ~15M users — signed an MOU with the Solana Foundation, its first direct deal with the network, to pilot stablecoin cross-border payments on-chain.

Why it matters far beyond Korea: a licensed, mainstream bank putting real cross-border payments on a public chain is a blueprint banks everywhere can copy — and a major validation of Solana.

First stage: a proof-of-concept for Solana-based remittances and stablecoin settlement.

GoMining opened its GoBTC Pay protocol to merchants with a Gen1 SDK and API — putting it in direct competition with Block's Square in the race for everyday BTC payments. The new product enables merchants, wallet providers, and partners to integrate Bitcoin payments into real-world products and services.

The twist: GoMining merchants receive actual Bitcoin, settled on-chain and non-custodial — where Square and most rivals convert BTC to fiat by default. The bet: businesses want to keep their BTC.

Built on GoMining's private 15 EH/s Stratum V2 mempool with ~12h settlement and a 0.2% fee split between wallets and miners; an initial ~10 merchants are onboarding. GoMining currently serves 5M users.

Notorious sandwich-attack bot 'jaredfromsubway' was drained after an attacker spun up 66 fake wrapper tokens and pools mimicking WETH, USDC and USDT to lure it in.

No code was hacked: lured by fake 'arbitrage', the bot kept approving attacker contracts, which then swept ~1,475 WETH plus ~$4.9M in USDC/USDT in one tx.

Blockaid pegs the loss near $7.5M; Jared himself claims $15M. About 1,000 ETH was then routed through Tornado Cash.

A WSJ investigation says Polymarket paid creators to fake winning bets on lookalike dummy sites and quietly promote its US-banned exchange — even paying streamer Adin Ross millions.

Separately, Lookonchain flagged three wallets that won $24.25M on World Cup markets with near-perfect records, all routing profits to one Binance deposit address — a suspected single insider.

Two damaging reports in one week pile pressure on the prediction-market boom's biggest name, raising fresh questions over Polymarket's integrity.

Ethereum Layer-2 Taiko stopped all block production after attackers exploited a flaw in its bridge's proof verification — forging proofs to bypass checks and drain funds.

Taiko is urging users to withdraw funds from every bridge on the network immediately, and has asked exchanges to suspend TAIKO deposits.

Security firm PeckShield estimates losses near $1.7M. Proposers stay paused while the team investigates — the latest hit in a brutal month for cross-chain bridges.
