Crypto exchanges are essential for the health of the cryptocurrency market, yet they are not without their problems. Some of these can endanger the whole industry, unless existing market leaders work towards their resolution.
One new player on the market called VFIN is planning on meeting these challenges head on. Let’s see which are the core issues the exchange will try to tackle.
A study among cryptocurrency exchange users managed to pinpoint the exact issues they perceive with current solutions on the market. Here are the top five, starting with the most important ones.
40% of respondents claimed that they are not comfortable with the current level of security offered on crypto exchanges. This is a very considerable issue, yet it is not without a cause — with multiple cases of stolen funds, hacker breaches and exchanges going bust due to illiquidity events, people are right to be concerned. This is calling for increased care in the design of the technical infrastructure behind the exchange, but also for additional mechanisms such as external audits on funds storage. Regulatory oversight, while not necessarily encouraged, might prove necessary at least in the short term in order to protect investors and their money.
The VFIN exchange attempts to solve all of the aforementioned issues by targeting them directly with a specific mix of technical and methodological solutions engineered after years of planning.
Security is at the core of VFIN’s efforts in designing a crypto exchange like no other. It all starts at the technical backbone used to ensure that the potential success of direct attacks from hackers will be minimized as much as possible. Beyond that, however, VFIN incorporates additional mechanisms that are aimed at ensuring the safety of investors’ funds and to reduce the possibility of illiquidity events. Most of the funds will be stored in cold storage, while regular independent third party audits will confirm that the majority of investors’ money is not outside the exchange.
VFIN plans on offering fees way below the industry average. To encourage fast adoption, during the first two years of the exchanges’ launch, the trading and withdrawal feels will be reduced by a considerable percentage. A wide variety of trading pairs is envisioned already for the first phase of VFIN, providing great conditions for experienced cryptocurrency users who want that high degree of flexibility.
Customer support in multiple languages will be one of the top priorities for VFIN, but even more importantly, the exchange will work towards the implementations of a highly intuitive UX and UI, an interactive onboarding process and multiple FAQ sections and knowledge resources that will overall minimize the total number of support inquiries.

Crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments examined the CLARITY Act’s place in Washington’s digital asset policy debate as lawmakers consider how crypto markets should be supervised. Zach Pandl, Grayscale Head of Research, outlined the bill’s role in shaping digital asset regulation on May 7.
Rather than treating the legislation as a narrow policy update, Pandl described CLARITY as a broad market structure bill. He wrote that it would clarify which federal regulator oversees which activities. The proposal would create a framework separating investment contracts from digital commodities. Under that approach, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would regulate investment contracts, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would oversee digital commodities. The Grayscale head of research stated:
That enforcement-led approach has shaped Grayscale’s view of the bill’s importance. Pandl wrote that tens of billions of dollars in regulatory fines have been paid. He also said many potential participants have avoided crypto due to fears of regulatory backlash, even as the market expanded into a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem.
Developers, investors, exchanges, brokers, custodians, and asset issuers would all be affected, according to Grayscale. Developers would receive clearer guidance for structuring and launching projects. Investors would face less legal uncertainty around ownership and project outlook. Trading venues, brokers, and custodians would gain clearer registration paths.
Asset issuers would also face more defined requirements for token distribution and ongoing compliance. Regulators, in Grayscale’s view, would operate within a clearer framework instead of relying on fragmented enforcement decisions. Pandl presented that structure as central to reducing uncertainty across digital asset markets.
Public pressure has also entered the Senate debate. Stand With Crypto delivered a petition with more than 28,000 signatures to Washington on April 30, urging the Senate Banking Committee to mark up the CLARITY Act. A survey released on May 7 found 52% of voters supported the bill after reviewing a neutral summary, while 70% said the United States should already have passed clear crypto legislation. Committee timing sharpened after the Senate Banking Committee scheduled a May 14 executive session to consider H.R.3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025.
Passage remains uncertain, despite renewed movement in Washington. Pandl cited Polymarket odds giving the CLARITY Act a 67% chance of passing in 2026. The bill still must advance through the Senate Banking Committee, pass the full Senate, and win approval from both chambers. Grayscale said meaningful progress before the July recess would be important to maintain momentum.

XRP-focused crypto treasury firm Evernorth has submitted a Form S-4 registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a process to go public through a business combination with special purpose acquisition company Armada Acquisition Corp. II.
The Wednesday filing shows that the combined entity will operate as Evernorth Holdings Inc. after the proposed merger, and is expected to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols XRPN for its Class A common stock and XRPNW for warrants.
The filing estimates that the merged entity will hold at least 473 million XRP at launch, including contributions from Ripple and open-market purchases funded by the merger proceeds. Previous reports stated that the merger transaction is expected to raise over $1 billion in gross proceeds, including investments from SBI, Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR.
An S-4 filing is a preliminary registration statement required by the SEC for companies seeking to publicly register shares in connection with a business combination, such as a merger or acquisition.
Evernorth, established in 2025, is an institutional vehicle primarily holding and managing XRP as its core reserve asset. Its strategy includes acquiring XRP, participating in the XRP ecosystem, generating yield through lending and liquidity provisioning, operating validators on the XRP Ledger, and utilizing Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin for certain operations.
Evernorth is built to provide investors more than just exposure to XRP's price," Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla said in an October statement. "As we capitalize on existing TradFi yield generation strategies and deploy into DeFi yield opportunities, we also contribute to the growth and maturity of that ecosystem. This approach is designed to generate returns for shareholders while supporting XRP's utility and adoption."
Meanwhile, Armada Acquisition Corp. II, completed its initial public offering in May 2025, raising approximately $230 million.
According to The Block's crypto price page, XRP is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $89.6 billion. The cryptocurrency is trading at $1.46, down 4% in the past 24 hours, leading up to 10:30 p.m. ET.

New data shows unusually high win rates in defense bets, building on research that 3% of traders drive prices and under 1% capture most profits.
Across political markets, such “longshot” bets typically succeed about 14% of the time. In military-linked contracts, success rates have topped 50% in some cases.
Markets tied to specific government policies, such as military and defense and foreign affairs, are harder to forecast using public information alone," the authors wrote, making them "more susceptible to information asymmetries," including insider trading or specialized knowledge.
In those markets, the gap between informed and uninformed traders may be widest, creating conditions in which a small group can consistently outperform not just by reacting faster, but by knowing more
For its part, Polymarket touts its market surveillance teams and cooperation with the Department of Justice on the Venezuela case. Trading on confidential knowledge is prohibited on the platform, as it is on Kalshi
The ACDC report's findings add to a growing body of research pointing in the same direction. A working paper from London Business School and Yale found that roughly 3% of traders account for most price discovery on Polymarket.
Separate analysis from blockchain analytics firm Solidus Labs showed that profits are even more concentrated, with fewer than 1% of wallets capturing about half of all gains. ACDC's contribution is to suggest where some of that edge may come from.
The report examines the June 2025 U.S. strikes on Iran as a case study. Polymarket listed several date-specific contracts on whether a strike would occur. Markets tied to June 19 and June 20 expired without incident, and no longshot bets won.
The strike came at 18:40 ET on June 21. In the hours leading up to it, 19 longshot bets totaling $164,292 were placed across the contracts that ultimately resolved YES. Eight wallets shared about $1.8 million in profits, with one taking nearly $500,000.
The Pentagon had designed the operation to be unreadable from the outside, using decoy bombers and long-range stealth aircraft to avoid detection. Despite that, a small number of traders placed large, well-timed bets on the outcome.
The pattern extends beyond a single event. Across Polymarket’s military and defense category, the report found that in five of the six two-hour windows before market resolution, winning longshot bets outnumbered losing ones, contrary to what market prices imply.
Longshot bets can outperform for other reasons, including mispricing or shifts in public expectations. But the consistency of the patterns, especially in markets tied to military decisions, suggests that some participants may be operating with information advantages that others do not have.
ACDC, being a nonprofit research group funded through the Fund for Constitutional Government, has no surveillance product to sell, compared to Solidus Labs, whose own recent Polymarket analysis doubles as a marketing case for the platform it licenses to Kalshi.
ACDC's recommendations include identity verification for bettors, conditional payouts on suspicious wagers, restrictions on markets whose outcomes are decided by small groups, and limits on how granular contracts can become.
The report’s conclusion goes further, calling for “an evidence-informed debate about whether the public should be betting on these outcomes at all.”
