Building on the chain through 2026, this week the Web3 world has seen quite a few major events.

Let's start with the most noteworthy highlights—

In the liquidity staking ecosystem, Berachain's Infrared protocol has stopped the IR token airdrop claims, which does impact users participating in the ecosystem. There have also been several major moves regarding tokens: RAIN unlocked over 37 million tokens at once, roughly worth $330 million at current prices, accounting for nearly 11% of the circulating supply; APT unlocked 10.93 million tokens, valued at close to $20 million, with a circulating share of 1.46%. A compliant platform announced support for migrating MKR to SKY; during this period, related services will be temporarily suspended, so users should pay attention to the timing window.

There's also a quite special story: Logan Paul bid on a Pokémon card valued at $5.3 million. It seems that celebrities' enthusiasm for rare assets is indeed on the rise.

Regulatory and policy developments are quite active. The US Banking Association recently issued a warning that yield-bearing stablecoins could pose a potential risk of $6.6 trillion, while JPMorgan has a different assessment of this risk. A chairman of a UK parliamentary committee is pushing to ban cryptocurrencies from being used as political donations—this is a signal worth noting.

Stablecoin topics are especially hot this week. About 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue is held in stablecoins, with Tether playing a central role. Residents in Russia are also inquiring about using cryptocurrencies to distribute pensions, indicating that global exploration of digital asset applications continues to deepen.

In ecosystem development, the ETH staked in a certain staking protocol has surpassed 1 million, and the treasury holds over 4 million ETH. The X platform plans to launch a smart Cashtags feature, which can directly link cryptocurrencies and stock codes to real-time prices and asset information, making it very convenient for users to view market data.

On-chain opportunities are always present; the key is to keep paying attention to these market pulses. 🔥
