Hyperliquid introduces the AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) framework, which makes USDC an aligned quote asset and channels a portion of reserve yields back to the protocol, creating a second engine for HYPE buybacks. Rather than issuing a new stablecoin, it leverages Circle as the technology deployer and major US crypto platforms as treasury deployers, combined with HYPE staking, to distribute reserve yields on-chain. AQAv2 uses a 1:9 allocation ratio and introduces the AQA reference rate to calculate contributions, offering HYPE investors a potential income stream and reducing reliance on trading fees.

Maya Protocol suffered a chain of six exploits, losing approximately $1.7 million, causing its CACAO token to plummet nearly 89%. CertiK attributes the attack to fake subsidies and liquidity manipulation, exposing DeFi's vulnerabilities to complex attacks. The attacker induced Maya to issue non-existent subsidies and repeatedly added and removed liquidity to drain assets from shared pools. Maya is a friendly fork of THORChain, which faced a similar attack in May. The incident highlights the need for multi-layered monitoring, independent audits, and rapid pause mechanisms.

Coinbase has integrated Hyperliquid to offer over 290 perpetual futures markets in its Base App, with leverage up to 50x, but excluding users in the US, UK, and Canada. The integration allows users to trade without leaving their existing wallets, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, and contracts linked to stocks and commodities. Coinbase's engineering lead highlighted Hyperliquid's high performance and liquidity. Perpetuals enable long or short positions without a fixed expiry, with funding rates maintaining prices. Leverage varies by asset, and stock-related products do not confer ownership rights.

This article explains why XRP cannot be natively staked, as the XRP Ledger uses the Federated Byzantine Agreement (fBFT) consensus mechanism rather than Proof-of-Stake (PoS), and thus offers no staking rewards.

The article aims to educate investors on XRP's yield mechanisms and suggests lending as an alternative.

Solana is now tradable on the native DEX of the XRP Ledger via Axelar-issued wrapped SOL, enabling interoperability between the two blockchain ecosystems. Hussein Zangana, director of the XRPL Foundation, warns users that Axelar is currently the only legitimate issuer of wrapped SOL, reminding traders to be wary of counterfeit assets. Users can access the asset through interfaces like XPMarket, First Ledger, and Magnetic, but must verify the issuer's address to avoid risks.

Analysts suggest that a broader crypto market recovery could boost user activity for SHIB and Shibarium.
