Moody's Takes Its Credit Rating System to Solana Credit rating giant Moody’s just took a big step in blending traditional finance with blockchain and crypto. It launched a pilot program that puts its scores on-chain, starting on the Solana blockchain. Partnering with fintech firm Alphaledger, Moody’s simulated a municipal bond and issued it as a digital token on Solana. It then performed a full credit assessment using its standard methodology and pushed the resulting rating directly onto the blockchain. Instead of living in a PDF or gated database, the credit rating became part of the bond’s token metadata, making it public, machine-readable, and immutable. https://www.cointribune.com/en/moodys-credit-ratings-solana-blockchain-pilot/

Flare eyes further losses as assets incentive program launch goes muted Flare Network (FLR) edges higher by less than 1% at press time on Wednesday after three consecutive days of trading in the red. The minor recovery aligns with the launch of the FAssets Incentive Program, which includes 2.2 billion FLR tokens. Despite a growth in the fundamental roadmap, the technical outlook for FLR remains bearish. Flare supports cryptocurrencies without smart contract capabilities, such as XRP, Bitcoin (BTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE), through FAssets. In an attempt to boost DeFi adoption of FAssets at an institutional level, Flare announced on Tuesday the launch of the FAssets Incentive Program. https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/flare-eyes-further-losses-as-assets-incentive-program-launch-goes-muted-202507020735

Treasury Secretary Bessent Leads Search for Next Fed Chair as Powell's Term Nears End Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is playing a pivotal role in the process of replacing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with President Donald Trump indicating an announcement on Powell’s successor could come within weeks. Powell’s term as chair is scheduled to end in May 2026. Potential candidates reportedly under consideration include Bessent himself, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, current Fed governor Christopher Waller, and former World Bank President David Malpass. Warsh, viewed as an early favorite, has been interviewed by Trump and holds views critical of the Fed’s credibility. https://news.bitcoin.com/treasury-secretary-bessent-leads-search-for-next-fed-chair-as-powells-term-nears-end/

SEC's Hester Peirce says in-kind redemptions for crypto ETFs are 'on the horizon' In-kind redemptions for crypto exchange-traded funds could be coming, according to one of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's top leads, Hester Peirce. Republican Commissioner Peirce was asked on Wednesday during a panel at the Bitcoin Policy Institute whether the SEC would sign off on in-kind creation and redemptions and if that "was on the horizon." Firms, including BlackRock, have been asking the agency for months to allow for in-kind creations and redemptions for bitcoin ETFs specifically, instead of having to use cash. https://www.theblock.co/post/359736/secs-hester-peirce-says-in-kind-redemptions-for-crypto-etfs-are-on-the-horizon

Fairmint calls for blockchain framework for private markets in SEC proposal The proposal outlines a seven-step framework that includes real-time regulatory oversight and updates to investor accreditation standards. Crypto-native companies are ramping up efforts to influence regulatory guidance on digital asset transactions. On Monday, transfer agent Fairmint proposed a framework to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Crypto Task Force targeting what it described as outdated and fragmented back-end infrastructure in private securities administration. Submitted to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce, Fairmint’s seven-part proposal targets standardizing infrastructure for interoperability across transfer agents, introducing real-time regulatory observability through blockchain and enabling investor self-custody with compliance safeguards. https://cointelegraph.com/news/fairmint-blockchain-framework-private-markets-sec-proposal

Bitcoin mining difficulty falls slightly from recent all-time high BTC miners continue to face economic headwinds and challenges, including gradually rising computational requirements to mine blocks. Bitcoin's mining difficulty fell slightly on Saturday after hitting an all-time high of 126.9 trillion on May 31 at the start of the previous difficulty adjustment period. The Bitcoin mining difficulty level currently stands at roughly 126.4 trillion, according to data from CryptoQuant. Higher mining difficulty and network hashrate, which is a separate but related measure of the total computing power securing the Bitcoin protocol, both translate into increased miner competition and higher production costs. https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-mining-difficulty-falls-slightly-all-time-high

Bitcoin Bounces Back: Rising Demand Signals Market Confidence Bitcoin is showing signs of a comeback, currently trading less than 3% below its all-time high. After hovering around $105,000 since late May, this price surge indicates growing momentum. It also reflects renewed confidence among investors, many of whom are eager to increase their Bitcoin holdings. CryptoQuant, an on-chain provider, has observed a noticeable increase in Bitcoin purchases, particularly among US-based investors. Such renewed buying activity often reflects a hidden phase of accumulation and signals a positive outlook on the asset’s future performance. The data provider further revealed that this buying surge is similar to a usual pattern seen after market corrections, where investors accumulate assets steadily without excessive speculation. Such behaviour suggests the current rally is balanced and not driven by irrational exuberance. https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-bounces-back-rising-demand-signals-market-confidence/

Bank of Japan pivot to QE may fuel Bitcoin rally — Arthur Hayes The Bank of Japan’s June meeting could trigger a Bitcoin rally if it restarts quantitative easing, as bond yield concerns push institutions toward BTC as a hedge. The Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) upcoming monetary policy meeting in June may provide the next significant catalyst for global risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. The BoJ is set to take its next interest rate decision at its upcoming monetary policy meeting on June 16–17. https://cointelegraph.com/news/boj-june-introduce-qe-next-bitcoin-catalyst-arthur-hayes

The Optimistic Oracle provider could also attract more users and firms UMA crypto could surge 200% after the deal between Elon Musk’s X and Polymarket. The Optimistic Oracle provider could also attract more users and firms. Last week was both hot and cold for crypto. Just when many thought Bitcoin would crash below $100,000, the coin rebounded over the weekend, lifting above $106,000, boosting some of the best cryptos to buy. Among the altcoins that posted decent gains was the UMA Protocol, an OG crypto project that not only rejected lower lows but is already up over 20% over the weekend. https://99bitcoins.com/news/altcoins/is-uma-crypto-ready-for-a-200-rally-after-polymarket-and-x-deal/

How Ethereum Is Faring Since Its Major Pectra Upgrade Not only has ETH's price surged, but Ethereum's Pectra upgrade has made a sizable impact on the network ecosystem. Here's how. A month after the Pectra upgrade, key indicators on Ethereum have begun to reveal the promise and pitfalls of the network's most ambitious technical overhaul since the 2022 "merge." One of the major features that the Pectra upgrade brought was expanding the Ethereum blockchain's capacity for handling "blobs," which are units of "ephemeral data storage," helping keep larger amounts of it on the consensus layer, according to a definition from the Protocol developer team. A blob is a dedicated data structure that can store larger amounts of data. More blobs means transactions, layer-2 networks, and rollup operations could get even cheaper. https://decrypt.co/323998/how-ethereum-faring-since-major-pectra-upgrade
