Toute l'actualité des NFT
La place de marché américaine d’NFT en ligne OpenSea a fait un bond en avant vers la création d’une « application tout-en-un sur la blockchain ». Dans une annonce faite mardi, la plateforme NFT a annoncé l’achat de Rally, une plateforme Web3 centrée sur le mobile, apportant ainsi le trading de tokens et d’NFT au seuil des utilisateurs de téléphones mobiles.
L’article OpenSea rachète Rally pour propulser le trading mobile de NFT et de tokens est apparu en premier sur Cointribune.
Personne ne parie sur un feu de camp quand la pluie tombe. Pourtant, les NFT continuent de crépiter, même sous l’averse. Alors que les volumes d’échange se ratatinent trimestre après trimestre, les ventes, elles, tiennent bon : 2,82 milliards de dollars encaissés au premier semestre 2025. Moins de dollars par transaction, mais plus de mains qui se tendent. Le marché ne s’emballe plus, il respire autrement, plus calme, plus dense. Et ça, c’est peut-être la meilleure nouvelle que la crypto ait eue depuis des mois.
L’article Crypto : 2,8 milliards de dollars en NFT vendus au S1 2025, mais les échanges ralentissent est apparu en premier sur Cointribune.
L’essor des actifs réels tokenisés ou Real World Assets (RWA) promet une révolution dans la manière dont nous possédons, transférons et monétisons les biens physiques. Des biens immobiliers fractionnés en tokens aux portefeuilles crypto, la finance décentralisée (DeFi) se rapproche toujours plus du monde tangible. Mais dans cette course à l’innovation, l’une des bases du droit de propriété est restée sur le quai : la succession.
Par définition, la blockchain est conçue pour être immuable, incorruptible, et surtout, décentralisée. Ces caractéristiques en ont rapidement fait la technologie idéale pour protéger des actifs. En revanche, un véritable casse-tête juridique et technique se pose quand vient l’heure de les transmettre à autrui après un décès ou une séparation.
En effet, à l’opposé d’un compte bancaire classique ou à un titre de propriété enregistré auprès d’un notaire, le wallet Web3 est d’un tout autre registre. Il ne connaît ni héritiers, ni ayants droit, ni même de bouton “mot de passe oublié”.
Résultat des courses : des pertes irrémédiables. Des fortunes colossales en Bitcoin, Ethereum ou tokens RWA à jamais perdu pour la simple raison que leur propriétaire a emporté ses clés privées avec lui.
Le paradoxe est cruel. La tokenisation est censée démocratiser l’accès à l’investissement. Permettre à n’importe qui d’acheter une fraction d’un immeuble ou d’un terrain, avec une transparence et une rapidité inégalées.
D’ailleurs, on parle de plus de 4 000 milliards de dollars en actifs immobiliers tokenisés d’ici à 2035. Mais que valent ces promesses s’il n’existe aucun mécanisme de récupération d’un patrimoine dont on est pourtant propriétaire légitime.
Les cadres de régulations comme MiCA en Europe sont surtout orientés transparence, risques systémiques ou lutte contre le blanchiment. En revanche, la transmission d’un héritage en actifs numériques reste largement absente du débat.
Dans le monde réel, les notaires et les tribunaux gèrent les successions. Dans l’univers blockchain, la perte d’une clé privée signifie la disparition irréversible de l’actif. Aucune autorité centrale n’a la possibilité de le récupérer. Cela dit, des alternatives comme Best Wallet permettent de mitiger le risque à ce niveau.
Une plateforme fédérative dont l’intérêt est double. D’une part, elle offre un système de stockage à froid qui permet de ne plus être exposé au risque de piratage omniprésent sur les plateformes d’échange. D’autre part, elle permet suivre l’évolution d’avoirs dispersés un peu partout sur une interface unique. Grâce à cela, les risques d’oubli sont grandement limités.
Mais les solutions comme le stockage sur portefeuille froid (cold wallets) ou le partage d’accès à travers des multi-signatures (multisigs), ne règle pas tout le problème. De plus, nombre d’entre elles sont souvent manuelles, complexes et inadaptées aux situations critiques. Par conséquent, il faut chercher la solution ailleurs : pourquoi pas la blockchain elle-même ?
D’ailleurs, des pistes comme les protocoles d’héritage automatisés, ou Decentralized Data Survivability Protocols (DeDasP) sont déjà en cours d’étude. Il serait par exemple possible de mettre en place des protocoles de transfert systématisé via les smart contracts, le sharding de clés en NFT ou la biométrie. Les systèmes de vote multi-signatures parmi les héritiers désignés constituent également une voie plausible.
Mais au-delà du décès, l’univers crypto doit aussi faire face à d’autres situations imprévues. Séparations conflictuelles, perte d’accès à son identité numérique, ou encore conflits familiaux autour d’un portefeuille multi-utilisateur.
Ces cas montrent que la technologie ne peut ignorer la complexité humaine. L’avenir de l’héritage numérique devra nécessairement passer par une meilleure articulation entre code et loi, automatisation et médiation humaine. Parce qu’un wallet sans héritiers, c’est une promesse de liberté qui meurt avec son détenteur.

Partenariat Emirates et Crypto.com : payez désormais votre billet d’avion en crypto
The post Décès, Divorce, et ID perdus : les questions d’héritage à l’ère de la blockchain appeared first on Cryptonews France.
Bitcoin en classe affaire ? C’est presque ça. La compagnie aérienne Emirates vient de signer un protocole d’accord avec Crypto.com pour intégrer les paiements en cryptomonnaies à son système de réservation. Objectif : proposer, d’ici 2026, une alternative numérique aux cartes bancaires classiques et attirer une clientèle plus jeune, plus connectée, et déjà acquise aux usages Web3. Bienvenue dans le ciel du futur.
Emirates a signé un accord avec Crypto.com pour intégrer les paiements en cryptomonnaies à son système de réservation d’ici 2026.
Crypto.com a renforcé son influence au Moyen-Orient, ayant déjà signé un partenariat stratégique avec le gouvernement de Dubaï pour permettre les paiements en cryptomonnaies.
Basée à Dubaï, Emirates ne cache pas son ambition : rester à la pointe de l’innovation en matière de services numériques. Cette fois, la compagnie prend un virage crypto en s’associant à Crypto.com.
Dans les détails, l’intégration de la solution Crypto.com Pay permettra aux passagers de régler leurs billets d’avion avec des cryptomonnaies comme le Bitcoin (BTC), l’Ethereum (ETH), ou même des stablecoins comme l’USDC – bien que les devises exactes acceptées n’aient pas encore été officiellement listées.
De leurs côté, les Emirats arabes unis, de Dubaï à Abou Dabi continuent d’embrasser les cryptomonnaies. Adnan Kazim, directeur commercial d’Emirates, résume d’ailleurs la philosophie du pays :
« Ce partenariat reflète notre engagement à suivre l’évolution des préférences clients et à répondre aux attentes d’une génération technophile ».
Un pari qui s’inscrit dans la lignée de la stratégie de transformation digitale initiée dès 2022, lorsqu’Emirates avait évoqué son intérêt pour le metaverse, les NFT, et… le Bitcoin comme méthode de paiement.
Pour Crypto.com, cette alliance s’inscrit dans une dynamique régionale bien installée. En mai dernier, la plateforme signait un partenariat stratégique avec le gouvernement de Dubaï, permettant aux citoyens de régler certaines taxes et frais administratifs en cryptomonnaies dans le cadre de la « cashless strategy campaign ».
En parallèle, Crypto.com revendique déjà plus de 4 000 marchands utilisant sa solution de paiement à travers le monde, avec plus de 20 options de règlement, cryptos et fiat confondus.
Eric Anziani, président et COO de Crypto.com, se réjouit :
« Intégrer nos services à une compagnie de l’envergure d’Emirates donne un véritable élan à l’adoption concrète des cryptomonnaies dans la vie quotidienne. »
Avec une régulation favorable, un soutien politique affirmé et un écosystème blockchain en pleine effervescence, Dubaï s’impose comme le carrefour des ambitions crypto. Entre jetons non fongibles, infrastructures DeFi et stratégie numérique volontariste, les Émirats arabes unis veulent devenir la Silicon Valley du Golfe.
Le choix d’Emirates n’est donc pas anodin : en intégrant les cryptomonnaies, la compagnie s’aligne sur la transformation de son environnement économique et prépare la fidélisation d’un nouveau public d’utilisateurs adeptes des cryptomonnaies. En attendant le décollage officiel du service en 2026, une chose est sûre : la blockchain a définitivement pris son billet pour le ciel.

Le lancement de Grok 4, ayant eu lieu quelques heures plus tôt, rebat les cartes dans l’industrie IA. Avec un modèle bien plus performant que ses précédentes versions, c’est l’occasion rêvée de lui demander ses dernières prédictions. Nous avons fait le test, Grok ayant produit une liste de trois altcoins à surveiller attentivement. Découvrez dans cet article les actifs qu’il convient de surveiller attentivement durant les prochains mois.
Vous avez probablement entendu parlé du terme Layer 2, un réseau développé en sur-couche d’une blockchain pour lui apporter des améliorations (vitesse d’exécutions, nouvelles applications, réduction de la congestion du réseau, frais plus faibles et bien plus encore).
Bitcoin Hyper est un projet qui construit actuellement un Layer 2 sur bitcoin. Avec Bitcoin Relay et la SVM, il dispose de caractéristiques uniques, tout en conservant un haut degré de sécurité avec les ZK rollups.
Pour la première fois, un projet apporte des perspectives uniques pour le développement de la DeFi sur bitcoin. Si l’écosystème gagne en force et devient un hub à forte croissance, le jeton natif HYPER pourrait en profiter et inscrire de très belles performances.
En prévente avec plus de 2 millions de dollars levés, il est encore temps de s’y exposer. D’autant plus, les préventes ont actuellement le vent en poupe. Par exemple, le jeton $BTCBULL a connu une hausse de 122 % depuis son lancement il y a moins de 24 heures.
Bitcoin n’est pas le seul moteur de l’innovation selon Grok. Pudgy Penguins est un très bon exemple de la persévérance. Ce projet NFT, axé sur la communauté, a traversé l’hiver des NFTs, construisant un écosystème composé de dérivés de sa collection NFT, une marque de vêtements, des rendez-vous en physique et, depuis quelques mois, le memecoin PENGU.
La SEC a par ailleurs reconnu le dépôt de l’ETF Spot PENGU par Canary. Cela est le témoignage de nouvelles opportunités qui pourraient prendre place d’ici les prochains mois pour cet actif en cas d’approbation de l’ETF spot sur le marché US.
LATEST: @SECGov has acknowledged filing for Canary Spot $PENGU ETF, a solana-based memecoin. pic.twitter.com/NeN1FaRDyj
— SolanaFloor (@SolanaFloor) July 9, 2025
Selon Grok 4, si l’écosystème Solana revient en force et que le TGE de PumpFun est une réussite, PENGU pourrait décoller vers de nouveaux sommets. Sur ces sept derniers jours, le memecoin de Pudgy Penguins est à la troisième position des meilleures performances du TOP 100 coinmarketcap. Une hausse de 20 % en une semaine et de 68 % sur trente jours.
Sur une dynamique plus institutionnelle, nous retrouvons la cryptomonnaie CRO dans la liste des altcoins proposés par Grok 4.
Enregistrant une belle croissance ces derniers jours, il s’est vu intégré dans la demande de l’ETF Crypto de Truth Social, ce qui alimente les spéculations d’une dynamique haussière avec l’arrivée de liquidités sur l’actif de Crypto.com.
D’ailleurs, la plateforme américaine ne cesse de multiplier les partenariats. Le dernier en date fut conclut, dans le cadre d’un protocole d’accord, avec Emirates, ouvrant la voie à l’intégration des paiements en cryptomonnaies à grand échelle pour les avions, mais également au sein du Dubai Duty Free.
Malgré quelques controverses autour d’un déblocage de 70 millions de CRO, remis en circulation sur le marché quelques mois plus tôt, les perspectives redeviennent positives.
Était-ce prémédité, crypto.com anticipant une intégration globale dans de nouveaux véhicules d’investissement ? Tout ce que l’on sait, c’est que de telles nouvelles pourraient propulser le cours de CRO sur de nouveaux sommets. Actuellement à 0,093 dollar, son ATH se situe à 0,70 dollar. Ainsi, la marge de progression est plutôt conséquente.
Cet article ne représente en aucun cas un conseil en investissement. Les informations fournies ici ne doivent pas être utilisées comme base pour prendre des décisions financières. Les investissements en crypto-monnaie comportent des risques et peuvent entraîner des pertes importantes. Il convient d’investir uniquement ce que vous pouvez vous permettre de perdre et d’effectuer vos propres recherches avant de prendre toute décision d’investissement.

Everyone’s buzzing about bitcoin (BTC) finally catching a bid, setting record prices on several exchanges and igniting bullish excitement. But don’t let the spotlight on BTC cast AI coins into the shadow.
Major tokens supposedly associated with artificial intelligence, such as TAO, ICP, RENDER and FET, surged as much as 8% in the past 24 hours, outpacing even the 10 largest coins by market cap.
The catalyst is chipmaker Nvidia, a bellwether for all things AI, which rallied to a market valuation of $4 trillion on Wednesday, the first time any company has achieved this milestone.
« The size and success of this giant, and the other US tech behemoths, underscores how much the AI trade can overwhelm the market’s response to week-to-week fluctuations in economic data and policy headlines, » Lisa Abramowicz, co-host of Bloomberg Surveillance, said on X.
In other words, the AI sub-sector of the crypto market could get really hot.
Let’s turn to ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, which also outshone the No. 1 coin yesterday amid record trading volumes in BlackRock’s spot ether ETF. The rally followed Fidelity’s latest report, which highlighted the Ethereum blockchain’s lead over Solana and other programmable chains in terms of developer activity, total value locked (TVL) and stablecoin use.
The report emphasized ether’s dual role as both a medium of exchange and a store of value — narratives that have worked in bitcoin’s favor for years.
In other news, PUMP, the official token of Pump.fun, traded 40% above its upcoming ICO price, while FART, VIRTUAL, and PENGU have each logged double-digit gains. SHIB appeared poised to outperform BTC, but continued to trade on a weak footing against its rival, DOGE.
Finally, macroeconomic factors necessitated that traders prepare for volatility. As QCP Capital astutely put it: “With a reignited trade war, a hawkish Federal Reserve, and tightening liquidity, volatility is likely to spike. Macro catalysts are lining up—so buckle up for a wild ride.” Stay alert.

Pump.fun’s token PUMP is currently trading at $0.0056 on derivatives exchange Hyperliquid, a 40% premium to its impending ICO price of $0.004, as traders speculate on post-launch demand.The PUMP-USD perpetual contract went live on July 9 following community requests and offers up to 3x leverage. In its first 24 hours, the contract saw $30 million in trading volume, indicating strong interest despite the token not yet being live on-chain.Open interest on Hyperliquid stood at over $17 million during Asian morning hours on July 10. Activity is expected to rise further as Binance Futures introduces its own PUMP perpetual contract at 07:30 UTC today.The token sale will distribute 33% of the total 1 trillion supply, with 18% already allocated in a private round and 15% set for the public sale. Both tranches are priced at $0.004 and will be fully unlocked at launch.The project is marketing PUMP as more than a meme token — positioning it as the foundation for a decentralized Web3-native social platform that rivals TikTok, Twitch and Facebook by rewarding users with financial benefits instead of just engagement.Since its rise in early 2024, Pump.fun has played a central role in Solana’s memecoin boom, offering frictionless token launches and capturing over $600 million in protocol revenue, largely from trading and launch fees.
BTC and ETH funding rates on offshore perpetual exchanges are holding below annualized 10% despite price rallies, indicating little signs of overheating. Ether perpetual futures open interest climbed for a fourth straight day, hitting a tally of 5.46 million ETH. Funding rates for XRP, DOGE, ADA, HYPE and SUI topped the 10% mark, indicating a growing interest in long positions. On the CME, three-month basis in BTC futures bounced slightly to 8% from 5% early this month, but overall activity remains subdued. On Deribit, BTC and ETH call skews strengthened across tenors. However, front-end options show relatively stronger call skew. That’s a sign of under-positioned traders panic buying with the price rise. OTC network Paradigm reported mixed block flows in BTC options, featuring risk reversals and put spreads. Traders bought ETH topside across tenors from July to December.

The BTC breakout from the counter-trend channel, although encouraging, still warrants caution as prices remain below the May high of around $112K.A firm move above that level is needed to cement bullish expectations, opening doors for $115K, the long-term trendline hurdle. The positive MACD histogram supports the bull case.Still, traders need to be vigilant for a renewed weakness here as that would likely strengthen the double top narrative, leading to a self-fulfilling decline.

Ether has replaced bitcoin as the most active cryptocurrency in the futures market. The switch follows reports that market makers are « short gamma » in ether options and could trade in the direction of the market, adding to volatility.
This One Metric Suggests Bitcoin Has Plenty of Room Left to Run (CoinDesk): Despite a wave of corporate adoption, with public companies adding bitcoin and fueling a boom in the BTC price, on-chain data suggests there’s room for further gains. The MVRV Z-Score of 2.4 remains far below the 7+ levels seen at past cycle peaks.BlackRock’s Spot Ether ETF Registers Record Trading Volume of 43M Amid Net Inflows of $158M (CoinDesk): Daily volumes have been rising for over a month, as evidenced by the 30-day average, which climbed to a record 18.83 million from 12.97 million in early June, TradingView data shows.Bitcoin Bulls Increase Exposure as Trump’s Pressure on Fed Pushes $15B Into BTC ETFs, Analyst Says (CoinDesk): The relentless flows are now forcing « under-positioned » traders to chase upside through derivatives, reviving the bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency, according to Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research.Trump Says 50% Tariff on Copper Imports Will Begin Aug. 1 (CNBC): In a Wednesday Truth Social post, the president cited national security concerns, highlighting copper’s importance to the Department of Defense. The metal has surged over 15% in the past two days.Brazil Won’t Take Orders From Trump, President Says (The Wall Street Journal): Trump linked the 50% tariff on Brazil to the prosecution of former leader Jair Bolsonaro, prompting President Lula to denounce U.S. interference and convene an emergency cabinet meeting to plan a reciprocal response.Starmer and Macron Agree to Nuclear Deterrence Pact to Fend Off Threat to Europe (New York Times): Britain and France’s new pact marks their first coordinated nuclear strategy and reflects growing pressure to bolster European defense as U.S. support for Ukraine becomes less certain.
Un succès fulgurant. Le rappeur Snoop Dogg, connu pour son amour du cannabis (à consommer avec modération), de la musique et des cryptomonnaies, vient de réussir un coup de maître en vendant près d’un million de NFT sur Telegram en seulement 30 minutes. Cette nouvelle collection, inspirée par le style iconique du chanteur américain, a généré pas moins de 12 millions de dollars de ventes, marquant un tournant dans l’univers des NFT à collectionner.
Snoop Dogg n’en est pas à son coup d’essai dans le monde des NFT. Après avoir lancé plusieurs collections à succès, le rappeur californien s’est associé à Telegram pour proposer une série de « cadeaux numériques » sur la blockchain TON. Ces NFT, allant des voitures vintage aux objets liés au cannabis, en passant par des symboles emblématiques, ont littéralement été pris d’assaut par les fans.
Selon Pavel Durov, fondateur de Telegram, la collection a été écoulée en un temps record, avec près de 996 000 NFT vendus. « Le mint sur la blockchain et le marché secondaire seront en ligne dans 21 jours. Ça va être sauvage », a-t-il déclaré dans le message ci-dessous.
Alors que certains observateurs annonçaient la fin des NFT, la performance de Snoop Dogg prouve (en partie) le contraire. Et malgré une baisse générale des volumes de transactions, certaines collections continuent de faire parler d’elles.
Les NFT de Snoop Dogg ont rapidement trouvé preneur – Source : Compte X
La collaboration entre Snoop Dogg et Telegram pourrait ainsi marquer le début d’une nouvelle ère pour les NFT à collectionner. Un certain Zenith, responsable NFT chez TON, rappelle avec enthousiasme sur X que « les Gifts [cadeaux] Telegram ont l’utilité la plus unique, à savoir la possibilité de les porter sur votre profil Telegram ».
Et avec des personnalités uniques et populaires comme Snoop Dogg qui continuent d’investir dans ce secteur, il est fort probable que d’autres marques et célébrités suivent le mouvement. « Je ne serais pas surpris si d’autres marques célèbres ou des personnalités internationales du Web3 voulaient aussi lancer des Gifts ! », ajoute-t-il enfin.
Snoop Dogg, de son vrai nom Calvin Broadus, est devenu une figure incontournable de la culture pop depuis ses débuts dans les années 90. Connu pour ses collaborations avec Dr. Dre et Tupac Shakur, il a su diversifier ses activités, devenant acteur, producteur et même entrepreneur dans le cannabis. Avec cette nouvelle incursion dans les NFT, il confirme son statut de pionnier, toujours à la pointe des tendances avec ce côté cool si légendaire.
Avec près d’un million de NFT vendus en 30 minutes, Snoop Dogg prouve une fois de plus qu’il est le roi du marketing et sa collaboration avec Telegram pourrait bien marquer le retour des NFT. De quoi relancer la hype du dernier bull run ? On n’en est pas là, mais au moins, le marché n’est pas mort. Et c’est déjà en soi une bonne nouvelle pour les amateurs.

The cracks in DAO governance are beginning to show. In the span of a few weeks, two high-profile players—Solana-based exchange Jupiter and NFT conglomerate Yuga Labs—abandoned their DAO structures, issuing blunt statements about dysfunction and disillusionment.
Jupiter cited a “breakdown in trust,” while Yuga CEO Greg Solano called Apecoin DAO “sluggish, noisy and often unserious governance theater.”
While hundreds of DAOs still operate across crypto with thousands of participants, questions are being raised over whether DAOs, once the beating heart of crypto’s decentralization dream, can flourish in this cycle.
DAOs, decentralized autonomous organizations, are blockchain-native governance systems that allow token holders to vote on treasury allocation, protocol upgrades, and more. In the last decade of crypto experimentation, they were heralded as the future of community capitalism. Now, their limitations seem to be catching up with them.
“I absolutely understand the frustration with sluggish, broken governance, » said Kollan House, founder of MetaDAO. “This is the problem with token voting.”
Originally celebrated as a way to “give a voice to the voiceless,” DAOs have often been criticized for being a legal and financial gray area. By issuing “governance tokens,” many projects found a way to circumvent securities laws, without delivering the accountability or utility those tokens promised.
Today, CoinMarketCap lists 273 DAO tokens with a combined market cap of over $21 billion. But those numbers are misleading. Nearly 50% of that value is concentrated in just three tokens—Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), and Bittensor (TAO). At the other end of the spectrum, 63 DAO tokens are worth less than $1 million, effectively dead-on-chain.
Take Mango Markets for example. It was once a bustling decentralized exchange that notched more than 1,000 governance proposals. It now has zero activity after the platform shut down in February, but $19 million worth of MNGO tokens still exist – completely useless.
DAOs were often criticized for “governance theater”—in other words, for appearing to be decentralized and governed by the crowd, but actually being controlled or dictated by a small number of people.
DAOs required large numbers of people to participate in order to be effective. But numbers were often lacking, leading to disillusionment. “To vote on anything, you need a quorum. But to reach quorum, you need incentives. And when you start incentivizing voting, you get mercenary participation. Everything works against itself from the start,” House said.
Joshua Tan is executive director of Metagov, a research group focused on self-governance.
“There are reasonable questions about the value DAOs are actually providing,” Tan, co-author of a recent report on DAO M&A, told CoinDesk. “Grant systems are often inefficient. Governance can be a mess. Still, this doesn’t mean DAOs are done. It just means they’re changing.”
In Tan’s view, the struggles of Jupiter and Yuga Labs are symptomatic of deeper systemic issues. But governance failures at particular projects shouldn’t be confused with a failure of the DAO concept itself.

“If you compare billion-dollar DAOs to billion-dollar public companies, sure, DAOs look inefficient,” he said. “But so do most corporate boards. Governance is a cost center—not a profit center. That doesn’t mean it’s dispensable.”
Far from writing off the concept, Tan and House both see a bright future for DAOs—albeit one that looks radically different. House points to futarchy, a governance model where decisions are made based on prediction markets, as a promising evolution. MetaDAO is actively building a fundraising platform rooted in that vision.
“We’re solving issues with liquidity, decision making and ownership,” House said. “The goal is to build the organizations of the future from the start.”
Tan is focused on infrastructure—developing standards for DAO mergers and acquisitions (M&A), governance tooling, and valuation metrics through Metagov and DAOstar.
“We need to build muscles that TradFi has had for decades,” Tan said. “That includes M&A workflows, legal frameworks, and robust metrics—not just relying on TVL.”
The regulatory gray zone is another ongoing headwind. While some jurisdictions like Wyoming, Utah, and the Cayman Islands have built legal wrappers for DAOs, others lag behind. And even where structures exist, they’re often expensive and impractical for small teams.
“We’re still seeing two to three DAO registrations per week in the Caymans,” Tan noted. “These are $50K setups. The fact that people are paying that much tells you DAOs still offer unique advantages.”
Both experts agree: a shakeout is inevitable.
“We’ll probably end up with 50 to 100 vibrant DAOs,” Tan said. “Just like after the ICO boom, most will disappear. And that’s fine.”
What remains will be leaner, better governed, and—hopefully—less performative.
Tan sees a future where DAOs don’t disappear, but merge into broader organizational strategies, particularly in the merging of TradFi and DeFi. DAOs could become tools in the corporate stack—used when necessary, ignored when not.
“The underlying tech, smart contracts, is here to stay,” he said. “Not everyone wants the ‘movement’ version of DAOs. But the infrastructure layer is decentralized. It’s modular. Companies will choose what fits.”
A good governance system is invisible when it works—and painfully obvious when it doesn’t. That truism now haunts the DAO ecosystem.
“The dream of community-led protocols isn’t dead,” said House. “But we’re still discovering the right way to build it. And failure is part of that.”
“Governance can’t be optional. Without it, you get chaos. But that doesn’t mean the system we’ve built so far is the right one,” Tan said.
It remains to be seen whether more DAOs will follow Yuga and Jupiter in shutting down community governance, but one thing is clear. DAOs may be struggling, but they aren’t dead, for now.

If the U.S. House of Representatives manages to reach a floor vote on the Senate’s stablecoin bill next week, it could result in President Donald Trump fulfilling at least half of his mission to deliver new laws for the crypto sector this summer.
That’ll be a highlight among a bundle of actions during a period labeled « Crypto Week » by lawmakers hoping to record significant legislative wins for the sector. But the bigger-ticket item is the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act to establish first-ever federal regulations to oversee the wider U.S. crypto markets. That effort is also going to spend some more immediate time in the spotlight during a Senate hearing on Wednesday as that chamber continues its crypto momentum after notching a major recent win with passage of its stablecoin bill.
The Senate bill to regulate stablecoin issuers, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, will be tackled without an effort to meld its language with the House’s similar legislation, a person familiar with the House’s planning confirmed. A yes vote in the House would send it to Trump’s desk to be signed into law, where it would become the first major law to regulate the U.S. crypto space.
That development would effectively abandon the House’s own Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act, as the House bends to the momentum demanded by Trump and its Senate counterparts. Politics is speeding beyond recent suggestions from Representative French Hill that the two chambers could iron out material differences between the bills to find a « common constructive landing place. »
As GENIUS rises toward a potential status as a second major Trump legislative accomplishment in as many weeks — joining his budget push that is already energizing significant elements of the president’s agenda — the House will redirect its major focus on the Clarity Act that’s the bigger hit in the one-two crypto punch weighed by Congress. At his White House crypto summit earlier this year, Trump set an ambitious August deadline for two related pieces of crypto legislation: the stablecoin bill and rules for the structure of crypto markets. When the Senate recently passed its legislation to govern the issuers of stablecoins (such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC), the president called for the House to sign off on that bill right away rather than pushing its own language, and he seems to be getting his way.
Senator Bill Hagerty, the backer of the GENIUS Act, said in a statement, « I look forward to enacting the GENIUS act into law, and to working with my colleagues to move the CLARITY act through the Senate in short order. »
While the Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott had declared a September 30 deadline for market structure legislation to be cleared through the Senate, it was unclear whether the chamber would lean into its own legislation or borrow more heavily from the House’s Clarity Act. Scott said that Clarity would be a « strong template for us to move forward on. »
However, Scott’s committee can’t move forward alone and also needs the Senate Agriculture Committee to agree to the approach, and that panel is so far trailing. A spokesperson told CoinDesk that Chairman John Boozman is keen to install the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a chief crypto regulator and that his committee will pursue a hearing sometime this month, though its calendar remains bare.
So far, House lawmakers have cleared the Clarity Act through the relevant committees, and a vote from the overall House would send it over to the Senate for consideration. If Trump follows his game plan with GENIUS, he may urge the Senate to just take up the House legislation without putting its own spin on the language and delaying the process. But in most legislative matters, the Senate’s more difficult road for passing bills tends to put it into the driver’s seat as efforts near the finish line.
Hill said he’d be « ready to work alongside the Senate as they work to advance standalone market structure legislation by the end of September. »
A digital assets advocacy group, Stand With Crypto, sent a letter to all the House lawmakers this week calling form them to get behind the Clarity Act, arguing that the bill « will not only enable and empower developers to innovate, but also protect consumers through choice, foster greater participation in the blockchain economy and strengthen national security. »
And industry insiders including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse were set to make a case for legislation at Wednesday’s Senate hearing.
« Once market structure legislation for digital assets becomes law in the U.S., this will catalyze a new era of U.S. competitiveness and unlock efficiencies in financial transactions — dramatically helping consumers and businesses alike, » Garlinghouse contended in the testimony he submitted to the Senate Banking Committee.
Crypto Week is also set to tackle what’s been a shared grievance of the crypto industry and congressional Republicans: the idea that the U.S. could ever issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act would block such an instrument from ever being created by the Federal Reserve, with its advocates arguing that a U.S. token could let the government spy on citizens’ finances, though there has been no serious U.S. effort underway to launch such a coin to compete with other jurisdictions such as China and Europe.
The GENIUS Act is widely expected to pass the House, and an earlier version of the CBDC bill already did last year. If the market structure legislation also passes the House, as a predecessor bill known as Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) easily did in the last session, the Senate becomes the last hurdle for the crypto industry’s top priority.
Still, it’s not a done deal there. The Senate generally needs 60 votes to pass a bill of this kind. While GENIUS got a whopping 68-30 approval, many of the Democrats who joined Republicans to pass the stablecoin bill shared reservations about the coming market structure effort.
Some influential Democrats, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, hold a lot of sway over their party, and they’ve argued for months that the market structure effort leaves regular people insufficiently protected and poses national-security concerns. However, the more prominent complaint from Democrats is that President Trump’s heavy involvement in the crypto industry poses a potential conflict.
Though his representatives have defended his family’s deep ties to businesses that include involvement with memecoins, stablecoins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital wallets and crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Trump’s Democratic critics say the president’s ties amount to high-level corruption, and the lawmakers are pushing legislative provisions to ban senior government officials from such connections to the sector.
