‍New DEX Wars: Speed, Leverage, and Onchain Trading Supremacy The decentralized exchange (DEX) landscape is evolving. Early "DEX wars" focused on incentives; now, platforms like Hyperliquid, Aster, and Lighter are competing on speed, high leverage, and robust infrastructure. Hyperliquid, built on its own blockchain, leads with significant volume and liquidity. Aster, on BNB Smart Chain, offers up to 1,000x leverage and substantial airdrops. Lighter, on a custom Ethereum L2, boasts sub-five-millisecond latency and zero trading fees for retail users, attracting institutional interest. The competition intensifies as institutional capital enters. The ultimate success will depend on which platforms can provide genuine value beyond initial incentives. "The real test will be whether traders stay once the airdrop music fades," notes Calder White, CTO of Vigil Labs.

‍Afghanistan Internet Outage: A Call for True Blockchain Decentralization A recent nationwide internet blackout in Afghanistan has highlighted a critical vulnerability: the reliance of even advanced decentralized blockchains on centralized internet infrastructure. The 48-hour outage, reportedly ordered by the Taliban, demonstrated how easily connectivity and access to decentralized networks can be severed, impacting millions. This incident underscores the need for decentralized connectivity solutions. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are emerging as a critical shift, building alternative wireless networks to bypass traditional providers and ensure continuous access. Projects like Roam Network, World Mobile, and Helium are leading this charge, leveraging blockchain and token incentives to create a more resilient and distributed internet backbone, vital for realizing the full promise of cryptocurrency. Michail Angelov, co-founder of Roam Network, stated: "The Afghanistan blackout is not just a regional connectivity crisis: it is a wake-up call. When connectivity is monopolized by a handful of centralized providers, the promise of blockchain can collapse overnight."

‍XRP Targets $6.20: "Most Bullish Pattern" Forms XRP is showing potential for a 120% rally, aiming for $6.20, according to analyst Mickybull Crypto who has identified a cup-and-handle pattern on the three-day chart. This bullish scenario requires XRP to establish support at $3.12, a level crucial for triggering upward movement. Key levels to watch include $3.12 as critical support, the $3.00-$3.10 zone (monthly point of control), and strong support around $2.80. While short-term momentum has cooled, a dip to $2.55 could offer an entry point before a potential rally to new highs.

‍Bank of France Advocates for Centralized EU Crypto Oversight by ESMA The Bank of France is calling for the European Union to grant its markets regulator, ESMA, direct supervisory powers over significant cryptocurrency firms. This move aims to prevent fragmented oversight from jeopardizing the EU's financial sovereignty. Governor François Villeroy de Galhau stressed that ESMA should directly oversee crypto-asset issuers under the MiCA framework. This centralized approach would ensure consistent rule application, reduce regulatory arbitrage, and protect European investors. Concerns were also raised about multi-issuance stablecoins, which could weaken the euro and increase dependence on non-European entities. Some, including the European Systemic Risk Board, have recommended prohibiting them.
