1️⃣ Opensea Hits Highest Monthly Users Since 2023 As OS2 Exits Beta 🔼

NFT marketplace OpenSea reportedly recorded 467,322 active users in May, its largest active monthly user base since mid-2023. Data from Dune Analytics also shows that the number of active users till date in June stands at 236,091, hinting that this month may see a similar or even higher number of monthly active users.

However, despite the elevated number of active users, monthly trade volume on the NFT platform remains significantly below 2021 and early 2022 levels. For context, May 2025 had a volume of $81 million, while January 2022 had a peak monthly volume of over $5 billion. This suggests that the surge in active users is likely due to the official launch of OS2 and its new “Voyages” rewards program on May 29.

2️⃣ Sui DEX Restarts, Plots Open-Source Move After Massive Exploit ‼️

Sui DEX Cetus Protocol announced its relaunch on Sunday. The team restored the platform to full functionality and replenished affected pools with 85% to 99% of their original liquidity. It is now working on going open-source, with a new white bounty program, to “encourage collective technical and security contributions.” The team has set aside 15% of the protocol’s native token (CETUS) supply as part of a compensation plan for affected users. Specifically, 5% of the CETUS supply will be available to claim immediately and 10% linearly unlocked every month over the next year, starting June 10. Cetus also reassured users that it was pursuing legal action against the attacker, with legal proceedings launched in “multiple jurisdictions” and law enforcement agencies “actively involved.”

3️⃣ Bitcoin Network Transaction Activity Reaches Lowest Level Since Oct. 2023 🔽

Transaction activity on the Bitcoin Network has reportedly fallen to a level not seen since October 2023. Data from The Block shows that the seven-day moving average for transactions on the Bitcoin network fell to around 317,000 on Friday. This is second only to the previous low of 269,000 seen in October 2023. The low transaction activity has some miners looking for transactions paying below the typical relay floor of 1 sat/vB, Bitcoin Core's default relay floor. Mempool founder Mononaut noted that a transaction with a near-zero fee was recently mined into a block.

4️⃣ Coinbase Says It’s Tackling Frozen Accounts In ‘Major Issue’ 🥶

Crypto exchange Coinbase has reportedly reduced unnecessary user account freezing by 82%. CEO Brian Armstrong acknowledged that account freezing has been a major problem “for longer than is acceptable.” He claimed the issue has become a top priority for his firm to improve. For context, Coinbase users have expressed frustration over account restrictions for years. Users reported that account freezes have lasted several months or longer, prompting some to abandon the platform. Given the recent confidence crisis in the exchange due to a mass data breach, the team appears to be working on issues that help with user retention.

1️⃣ Solana's Loopscale Pauses Lending After $5.8M Hack ‼️

Solana DeFi protocol Loopscale reportedly lost $5.8 million worth of digital assets after an attacker exploited one of its markets on April 26. The stolen crypto represents roughly 12% of the protocol’s TVL. It stated that the primary cause of the exploit was an “isolated issue with Loopscale’s pricing of RateX-based collateral." The platform temporarily halted its lending markets after the exploit. While it has since “re-enabled loan repayments, top-ups, and loop closing”, all other app functions (including Vault withdrawals) are still temporarily restricted while it investigates the exploit.

2️⃣ Arbitrum Says It Pulled Out Of Accelerator Program After Nvidia Refused Crypto Association 🔍

According to a report by The Block, the Arbitrum Foundation claims it withdrew from an Nvidia-backed accelerator program after the chipmaker stated it did not want to be mentioned in any public announcements. The statement comes after earlier reports indicated that Nvidia was the one to pull the plug on the arrangement. However, the Arbitrum Foundation claims Nvidia changed its tune in recent weeks saying it was willing to partner with Arbitrum, as long as the chipmaker wasn't mentioned in any public-facing crypto-related announcements.

A Foundation spokesperson stated,

Arbitrum was not removed from the AI Ignition Accelerator — the team made the decision to disengage after Nvidia asked to remove its brand from crypto-related announcements, signalling a lack of long-term commitment.

The Senator added that an impeachment is unlikely unless the Democratic Party gains control of Congress during the US midterm elections in 2026.

Ossoff stated,

I mean, I saw just 48 hours ago, he is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

4️⃣ Ethereum Public Goods Funding Protocol Gitcoin Winding Down Its Software Division 👀

Ethereum public goods funding protocol Gitcoin is reportedly shutting down Gitcoin Labs - its primary software development unit. Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki stated that the decision was made in part due to a “path to profitability” being unrealistic. Owocki also noted that the remaining funds with the company will go towards paying severance “to all whose employment is affected.”

Owocki stated,

The financial overhead of Grants Lab has outpaced its financial runway in the current environment. This decision was made in consultation with the top stewards of Gitcoin and lead of Grants Lab […] Gitcoin will continue, but with a leaner team aligned around a more focused Gitcoin Grants program and managing its portfolio of assets. And Gitcoin remains a vibrant, resilient community with many years of runway, and which is more than any one team or product.

6️⃣ Deloitte Predicts $4T Tokenized Real Estate On Blockchain By 2035 💰

According to a recent report published by The Deloitte Center for Financial Services, over $4 trillion worth of real estate could be tokenised on blockchain networks by 2035.

Office buildings are being repurposed into AI data centers, logistics hubs and energy-efficient residential communities. Investors want targeted access to these modern use cases, and tokenization enables programmable, customizable exposure to such evolving asset profiles.
