Foresight News reported that Polimec, a decentralized financing platform for the Polkadot ecosystem, announced that the project will be forced to cease all commercial operations after multiple efforts. Due to changes in the market environment, the participation rate of active users is much lower than expected, especially the investment demand for Substrate based tokens has almost disappeared, making it difficult for the project to be self-sufficient. Despite the team's continuous efforts to maintain high standards of compliance, sustaining operations has become unsustainable due to resource depletion. Polimec will support users to withdraw their assets to Polkadot or Asset Hub as planned, and ensure that investors participating in the financing round receive the mainnet tokens. Polimec was established in 2022 with the goal of creating a decentralized, community driven, and regulatory compliant financing agreement. In 2024, the platform has successfully launched a real-time parallel chain and supported financing for three projects.
According to Cointelegraph, Monero is facing a suspected network takeover attempt initiated by mining pool Qubic, which has sparked strong opposition from the community and concerns about centralization of computing power. As of Monday, MiningPoolStats data showed that Qubic's ranking in the Monero mining pool dropped from top to seventh, and its computing power plummeted after the community discovered its takeover behavior. On June 30th, Qubic Blog revealed that it incentivizes Monero CPU mining through its own network, and the XMR mined is used for ecosystem repurchases and token destruction. Founder Sergey Ivancheglo publicly admitted that the Qubic network is taking over the Monero network and will reject other mining pool blocks after controlling most of the computing power. On Monday, Ivancheglo announced that the Qubic mining pool will stop reporting computing power from next Wednesday, increasing the difficulty of assessing threats. He also stated that he is looking for countermeasures to deal with his own planned attacks. Unstoppable Wallet analyst Dan Dadybayo explained that with 51% of its computing power, Qubic can isolate blocks, reject transactions, delay confirmations, suppress competition, and force protocol changes. He pointed out that Ivancheglo has hinted that starting from August 2nd, Monero users should expect isolated blocks and should only accept transactions after 13 confirmations. Dadybayo added that although Qubic claims to have no intention of harming Monero, "the intention is not important. He explained that centralization implies risk, and potential censorship is destructive to the network, and concluded that incentive mechanisms have become a new means of attack.

According to Crypto in America, JPMorgan Chase has suspended the resumption of banking services to the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini due to disagreements over consumer data access rules. Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss previously accused the bank of attempting to "strangle fintech and crypto companies" by restricting third-party data interfaces such as Plaid. The focus of controversy lies in JPMorgan's plan to charge high data access fees to fintech companies, which directly challenges the Open Banking Act issued by the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) last year. The regulation safeguards consumers' right to securely share bank data through tools such as encrypted wallets, but its implementation has been hindered by bank class action lawsuits and opposition from the Trump administration. The bank claims that data aggregators have the risk of excessive data collection, while critics argue that this is an excuse for traditional financial institutions to maintain their monopoly position.
