International gold and silver prices fell on Friday, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, August gold futures were down more than 1.7% late in the session, while July silver futures fell more than 2%; the exchange ended trading early and did not publish official closing prices for the day, according to 36Kr. For the week, gold’s most-active futures contract edged up 0.17%, while the most-active silver contract fell 2.43%, as the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a more hawkish-than-expected signal that boosted the dollar index.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov said Aave V4 could be used to rebuild on-chain securities financing markets, citing the scale of traditional securities financing across repos, margin financing, and securities lending. According to ChainCatcher, he described securities financing as a large but less-discussed Wall Street market, noting figures including about $12.6 trillion in average daily exposure in the U.S. repo market, $1.3 trillion in margin financing, more than $400 billion in wealth-management securities-backed lending, and roughly $4.6 trillion of assets on loan in securities lending, which he said generated a record $15 billion in revenue in 2025. Kulechov said Aave V4’s “liquidity hub plus modular markets” design would allow shared liquidity at the base layer while enabling segmented markets with different risk parameters, asset scopes, and rules. He said the structure could support three securities financing use cases: securities-backed lending, repo transactions, and securities lending. He added that tokenized securities could be used as collateral to borrow GHO or stablecoins; repo transactions could borrow stablecoins against tokenized securities with atomic settlement; and in securities lending, tokenized securities could themselves become borrowable assets, with lending income flowing directly to asset holders. Kulechov said Aave V4 could operate with a single shared liquidity hub or multiple hubs split by asset class and risk, with the former offering deeper liquidity and the latter stronger risk isolation. He said a likely path would start with unified liquidity and evolve toward multiple hubs as collateral types expand.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said U.S. regulators should develop clearer regulatory frameworks for emerging financial products such as tokenized securities, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets, rather than relying on broad restrictions or ambiguous oversight. According to ChainCatcher, Peirce also argued that self-custody and financial privacy should be treated as foundational rights and incorporated into the design of future digital asset regulation. Peirce referenced the Rule 611 “trading-through” proposal, which she said has been in development for about 20 years. She added that any “innovation exemption” mechanism would be intentionally designed to be strict and limited, aiming to balance market innovation with investor protection.

Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almirón was shown a straight red card against Turkiye after VAR reviewed an incident in which he appeared to cover his mouth while speaking during a confrontation, an offence under FIFA’s new anti-mouth-covering rule, according to Yahoo Sports. The rule, popularly known as the “Prestianni Law,” was introduced after Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni used a homophobic slur toward Real Madrid’s Vinícius Jr., and it was applied after Almirón appeared to say something to Meri Muldur, who then approached the officials. Earlier, Matías Galarza scored after 64 seconds for the quickest goal of the tournament so far.

THORChain said its network recovery is entering the final stage, with the network now verifying the integrity of each node’s keyshare through a new KeyVerify protocol before initiating a vault churn. According to ChainCatcher, the verification step is intended to confirm that each vault is secure before churn begins, after which the network will move all funds into new vaults. THORChain said the churn timeline is the main variable and could take anywhere from several hours to several days. Once churn is completed, the project expects to quickly proceed with re-enabling Secured and Trade assets, restoring liquidity provider operations, and then resuming trading. THORChain added that the recovery has taken longer than expected because it prioritized security and stability, and said it will continue to share updates.
