Dutch crypto finance protocol Tori Finance announced that its institutional-grade Delta neutral yield product strUSD has completed a $50 million pre-deposit fundraising before its official launch, reaching the cap in just 7 days. Tori stated that strUSD offers an annualized yield of approximately 12%, with returns derived from global arbitrage trading strategies traditionally used by financial institutions, rather than from the circulation of funds in the crypto market. This strategy achieves low correlation with crypto market cycles by borrowing in low-interest currencies, investing in high-interest markets, and utilizing foreign exchange hedging to lock in dollar returns.Tori founder Samed Duzcay mentioned that such trades were previously mainly participated in by large institutions like pension funds and banks, which typically required a funding threshold of tens of millions of dollars and involved complex processes such as local bank accounts, custody, tax, and compliance approvals. Tori opens up these institutional strategies to ordinary users through on-chain tokenization. Users can deposit USDC or USDT to obtain the synthetic dollar asset trUSD and stake to earn strUSD. This asset is based on the ERC-20 standard and can be integrated with DeFi protocols such as Morpho, Pendle, and Curve, and can also be used as collateral for lending to further amplify returns.Tori claims that the protocol constructs an on-chain balance sheet through zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments, with independent verification agency Accountable conducting real-time audits of off-chain fund situations; digital asset investment firm RockawayX serves as the risk management party and anchor liquidity provider. Additionally, Tori's smart contracts have been audited by Sherlock and Nethermind, and Hypernative has been introduced for round-the-clock security monitoring, with all contract upgrades set to a 24-hour delay mechanism. Tori stated that its goal is to bring the neutral yield strategies used by traditional financial institutions for decades into the on-chain financial system, promoting the integration of real yields with DeFi infrastructure.

According to the SEC official website, Commissioner Hester M. Peirce issued a statement highlighting the intersection of cryptocurrency vaults and on-chain lending strategies with federal securities laws. Peirce pointed out that migrating activities to the blockchain does not automatically exempt them from the regulatory scope of securities laws. Cryptocurrency vaults allocate user assets to yield activities such as staking and lending through smart contracts, and if the managers are involved in selecting yield strategies or reallocating assets, it may trigger compliance obligations under securities laws; some vault structures may be deemed joint enterprises or fall under the regulation of investment companies.Regarding on-chain lending strategies, management actions such as interest rate setting, asset admission, and liquidation thresholds may also involve securities laws, and related loans may be classified as securities under certain conditions. Peirce stated that the SEC welcomes proactive communication from market participants in the vault and on-chain lending space and seeks input from all parties to explore whether there is a need to revise rules to protect investors while allowing space for innovation.

Gate officially released the June 2026 Wealth Management Monthly Report, providing a comprehensive review of the June cryptocurrency market trends and the performance of platform wealth management products. The report shows that the cryptocurrency market continued its downward trend in June, with both BTC and ETH recording a monthly decline of about 20%. Market funds leaned more towards caution and risk aversion; the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market dropped from approximately $2.30 trillion to $2.17 trillion. Continuous outflows of institutional ETF funds weakened the marginal buying pressure on BTC and became one of the important factors for its breach of key support and the weakening of market sentiment, with overall risk appetite significantly cooling compared to the previous period.In terms of product performance, the overall scale of Yubi Treasure remained stable in June, fluctuating narrowly in the range of 1.5 to 1.6 billion USDT; the total issuance of GUSD decreased from about 191.9 million at the beginning of the month to about 182.3 million at the end of the month, with the annualized yield maintaining at 2.8% to 3.0%, reflecting strong stability. Among advanced products, the Gate dual-currency investment low-buy strategy with a 0-day term achieved an APY of 295%, significantly higher than the market average of 166%; the Gate quantitative fund continued to exhibit stable returns and low drawdown characteristics, with the "Interstellar Hedge (USDT)" cumulative return leading at 18.7%. With the acceleration of stock allocations following the listing of Korean stocks, by the end of June, Korean stocks accounted for about 75% of the overall holdings, with the top ten holdings focusing on global semiconductor and technology growth assets, with SK Hynix ranking first. The report suggests that in a volatile market, stable returns, quantitative strategies, and diversified asset allocation remain important directions for wealth management. Gate will continue to provide users with multi-layered asset allocation and yield enhancement tools to help investors seize structural opportunities and improve asset management efficiency in a volatile market.

According to Jinshi reports, analyst Matthew Weller believes that FOMC Chairman Kevin Walsh's first Federal Reserve meeting is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, but the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), the "dot plot," and the content of the press conference may significantly reshape the market's expectations for the future path of interest rates. The dollar index DXY 99.5 is seen as a key "watershed," which may determine the technical trend of the dollar this week and in the longer term.

BTC fell approximately 2.9% during the month, while ETH dropped over 11%, with overall performance weaker than traditional risk assets during the same period.

Among them, the "Interstellar Hedge (USDT)" cumulative return rate increased to 18.6%, with all 23 cycles within the statistical range achieving profitability, maintaining a win rate of 100%. Meanwhile, the drawdown levels of the USDT and BTC strategies continued to remain low, with overall risk control performance better than the market benchmark.At the same time, AI-related investments continued to be an important driver of growth.
