According to ChainCatcher, River Mart serves as the final task before the River protocol reaches its next milestone. It combines multi-chain NFT minting with points rewards, allowing users to deposit assets on designated chains and mint NFTs. After collecting seven NFTs, users can unlock a Mystery NFT, with a total reward pool of 24 million River Pts. River has established the first chain-abstracted stablecoin system, enabling users to collateralize BTC, ETH, BNB, or LST on any chain and mint native satUSD on another chain, without the need for additional cross-chain operations or intermediaries. Within just one month, River has accumulated over $400 million in TVL, with stablecoin circulation surpassing $100 million, and has integrated with more than 20 use cases including Pendle and ListaDAO. This event is divided into three phases and covers seven chains. On BNB, Base, Arbitrum, and five other chains, depositing any asset allows users to mint the corresponding NFT. Collecting all seven NFTs not only unlocks the Mystery NFT but also entitles users to share in the rewards. All NFTs are SBTs and are non-transferable. River is building a system that enables any asset to participate and flow freely across chains, and River Mart is the entry point for users to experience this system design for the first time.

According to Jinse Finance, the cryptocurrency lobbying group DeFi Education Fund has called on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee to reconsider its approach to regulating the decentralized finance industry after reviewing the committee’s recently released discussion draft of a major cryptocurrency market structure bill. The response, signed by representatives from DeFi Education Fund (DEF) members such as a16z Crypto, Uniswap Labs, and Paradigm, states that the 2025 Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFA) should be crafted in a more technology-neutral manner. It emphasizes that cryptocurrency developers should be protected from “inappropriate regulation targeting intermediaries,” and that the right of all Americans to self-custody is “crucial.”
