1️⃣RWA liquidity isn't always where you need it.

Public DEX pools for tokenized assets are often thin. Direct minting usually only works with USDC. So buying an RWA with WBTC or ETH means extra swaps, extra steps, extra price impact.

Intent-based routing handles this differently. You define what you want - resolvers compete to deliver it, sourcing liquidity, routing through supported assets, finding the best path to settlement.

1️⃣July 1, 2026. MiCA applies across the whole EU, but member states could set their own transition period for providers already running on national rules. In the countries that used the maximum period, that transition ends today: existing crypto-asset service providers need full MiCA authorization to keep serving EU users.

What changes for centralized providers:

• Authorization is now required for custody, exchange, execution, placement, transfer services and running a trading platform.

• Once licensed, a CASP can passport services across the EU instead of holding 27 separate national approvals, subject to notification procedures.

• Stricter rules for stablecoin issuers mean exchanges and wallets may need to recheck which stablecoins they can still offer EU users.

• New tokens need clearer white papers and risk disclosures before listing.

None of this answers the question that matters for DeFi: how should regulation apply to systems that aren't built around a single intermediary?

Orest Gavryliak, 1inch Chief Legal Officer:

"MiCA goes fully live on July 1st - and it gets one half of crypto right. Centralized players finally have a clearer way to operate inside a regulated framework, which the market has been waiting for. But MiCA is built around identifiable intermediaries. In its current form it wasn't designed for DeFi, and it doesn't work for it."

Gavryliak points to the US CLARITY Act as the kind of framework Europe could follow next for DeFi.

1️⃣ 1inch is now a launch partner on Robinhood Chain, the Arbitrum-based network built for real-world asset trading.

Eligible users can swap tokenized real-world assets straight from the 1inch dApp and 1inch Wallet, any time, not just during market hours.

The same access is open to builders. Through the 1inch Swap API on 1inch Business, third-party apps and partners can plug Robinhood Chain RWA swaps directly into their own products.

Tokenizing an asset is only half the job. Without liquidity, pricing and reliable execution, a tokenized asset just sits in a wallet. Robinhood Chain brings the assets on-chain, 1inch routes them.

Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder:

"Robinhood Chain brings tokenized real-world assets on-chain. Our role is to provide the infrastructure that makes them liquid and tradable."

1️⃣ Ethereum's next major hard fork, Glamsterdam, is in late-stage development: devnet testing now, public testnets next.

Most users won't see anything change in the interface. The upgrade targets the layer underneath: how blocks get built, how state gets processed and how value transfers get tracked.

What's inside:

▪️ Native ETH transfer logs. Today ERC-20 transfers emit events while native ETH moves silently, so backend teams trace internal calls to follow it. After Glamsterdam, ETH transfers are expected to emit logs too. Cleaner histories, simpler portfolio tracking, fewer edge cases with smart contract wallets.

▪️ Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS). Block building moves into the protocol itself, removing third-party relay services. As 1inch Senior Solution Architect Kirill Kuznetsov puts it, this makes MEV "more honest."

▪️ Block-level access lists. Blocks will declare which accounts and storage slots they touch, letting clients preload data and process more in parallel. A foundation for faster validation.

▪️ Bigger contracts. The bytecode size limit increases significantly: more room for routing systems, account abstraction and complex on-chain logic.

▪️ Gas repricing. Computation gets cheaper, state operations get more expensive. If your contracts or flows assume current gas costs, retest them.

Full breakdown here.

Which side of the gas repricing trade-off matters more for the apps you use: cheaper computation or pricier state?

1️⃣85% of DeFi liquidity is sitting underutilized right now. Not a guess: new research by Dune, commissioned by 1inch, tracked $1.84B across the top concentrated liquidity pools for 26 weeks and measured how much of it actually works.

The short version: around $542M is fully idle in an average week. The price left its range, so it earns no fees and provides no depth to anyone. Out-of-range LPs give up an estimated $150M a year in fees.

Two findings worth sitting with. Size doesn't save you: positions over $1M drift out of range less often, but they are so large they still hold about 47% of all idle dollars. Design doesn't save you either: Uniswap v4 idles at about 30%, same as v3, and stablecoin pools run near 30% too because ranges are set almost peg-tight.

The full report breaks down what actually strands positions (it is the slow one-way price drift, volatility barely matters) and what that means as institutional money moves on-chain.

If you LP: what costs you more, rebalancing gas or the fees you miss while out of range?

1️⃣Six ways DeFi provides liquidity, and every one of them has a point where it strains.

Every swap depends on someone providing liquidity first. That liquidity comes from a handful of distinct models, each strong somewhere and fragile somewhere else.

Traditional AMM pools are open to anyone, but most of the deposited capital sits idle instead of backing trades.

Concentrated liquidity improves capital use and fees inside your chosen range, but you have to track price and rebalance, which shuts out passive LPs.

Stable pools give low-slippage swaps between similar-value assets, until one of them loses its peg and leaves you holding the weaker side.

Order book liquidity is precise and pro-grade for active markets, but it needs constant market-maker presence and runs expensive on many chains.

Managed vaults automate the rebalancing for you, in return for committing to one strategy and taking on manager risk.

Professional market makers bring deep liquidity for large trades and new assets, but their availability shrinks exactly when volatility hits.

Notice the pattern. Underneath every model is the same issue: liquidity is scattered across pools, chains, strategies and venues. That is the gap between the total value a dashboard reports and the liquidity actually there when you hit swap.

Useful liquidity is liquidity that can support execution the moment demand shows up. The direction of travel is infrastructure flexible enough to let capital back many opportunities at once, instead of sitting locked in isolated structures.

Which model do you think holds up best when volatility hits and everyone wants out at once?

1️⃣Limit orders just landed in 1inch Wallet.

Until now they lived only in the dApp: browser, wallet connection, separate flow. Now it's a switch on the wallet's trading screen: flip from a regular swap to a limit order, pick the pair, set your target price and expiry.

The order fills only if the market reaches your rate. Want to buy 5% cheaper or sell at your level – set it and let it wait. If it doesn't fill before expiry, it expires, and you can cancel anytime.

Self-custody the whole way: no deposits to a centralized account, your assets stay in your wallet until the order fills.

Works on 13 networks, Ethereum to Solana.
