According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, a certain multi-signature address transferred 9.2 million LSK to a certain address, valued at 6.52 million USD; subsequently, 2 million LSK was recharged to GSR's Binance deposit address. A similar operation occurred 9 months ago.LSK surged to 2.37 USD last weekend, an increase of nearly 10 times, and is currently reported at 0.5084 USD, with a market value shrinking by 78.5% from its peak.

The on-chain trading platform GMX has released a governance proposal to allocate $10 million from the treasury to establish a GMX token market-making fund in the first phase. The fund will use the total chain merged open interest as a reference indicator. When the circulating market value of GMX is below the merged open interest, the focus will be on repurchases; when the circulating market value is not less than the merged open interest, it will shift to providing liquidity.The proposal also discloses the subsequent roadmap, including cross-collateral and cross-margin models, market segmentation, net open interest, RFQ, permissionless markets, Robinhood integration, and a new USDG LP product line, among others. In addition, GMX will initiate GT repurchases and distribute GT airdrops to GMX stakers, with specific details to be announced in future proposals.

A proposal from the Lido governance forum aims to authorize a conditional LDO centralized exchange liquidity provision plan to reduce the risk of LDO trading pairs deteriorating or being delisted due to insufficient liquidity. The plan may provide up to $1.5 million worth of retrievable LDO inventory from the Lido DAO treasury (with a cap of 7.5 million LDO), and additionally allocate up to 480,000 USDC for fixed service fees and related costs for a maximum of 12 months.This authorization will expire if not activated within two years and will only be initiated when the Lido Growth Committee determines that CEX liquidity is insufficient or may become insufficient. The forum disclosed that the average daily trading volume of LDO over the past 90 days was approximately $34 million, down from $43.8 million in the previous 90 days and about $95.4 million during the same period in 2025. The proposal emphasizes that the plan aims to maintain bilateral liquidity and the continuous listing of trading pairs, is not intended for price manipulation, and currently does not specify any particular market makers or exchanges.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that after nine years of DeFi practice, the path for AMM to become the core engine of the global financial market is becoming increasingly clear. He pointed out that tokenization is not only an infrastructure upgrade but also changes who provides liquidity and what is traded in the market. The SEC has approved Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange to trade tokenized stocks, and the DTCC also conducted live testing of tokenized trading in July.Adams believes that traditional market makers vertically integrate capital, strategy, execution, settlement, and distribution, which is costly; blockchain disassembles these components, making capital a scarce input. Liquidity providers who already hold relevant assets or are the issuers themselves can bear inventory exposure at zero cost, thereby weakening professional market makers with lower capital costs. An on-chain "related asset pair" model has naturally formed (such as the Ethereum ecosystem pairing with ETH and stablecoins), as correlation reduces inventory risk and deepens liquidity.He cited that there are already 10 tokenized stocks on the Robinhood Chain forming a Uniswap pool with SPY, which has traded approximately $33 million in 12 days, with some trades occurring directly between stocks without touching the dollar. Adams also stated that although Uniswap's cumulative trading volume has reached about $4.6 trillion, AMM is still in its early stages, and there is significant room for improvement in subsequent design and ecosystem.

This week, U.S. cryptocurrency policy has seen intensive progress. The Trump administration has pushed for new advancements in the CLARITY Act, the SEC has proposed a draft of regulatory rules for cryptocurrency assets for the first time, and the CFTC has stated that if congressional legislation stalls, it will promote the establishment of an independent regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market. Trump met with leaders from several cryptocurrency companies at the White House this week and publicly called on Congress to pass a "fair version" of the CLARITY Act. Representatives from Coinbase, a16z, Ripple, Kraken, and other industry participants attended the meeting, focusing on the bill's impact on U.S. jobs, innovation, and attracting cryptocurrency companies back. Currently, the main obstacles to advancing the bill are concentrated on certain ethical clauses. Trump believes that the relevant provisions may target individuals, but industry insiders are pushing both sides to find a compromise to facilitate bipartisan support.CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that the CLARITY Act is key to avoiding regulatory uncertainty. If Congress continues to delay, the CFTC will use its existing authority to formulate regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency asset market. Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC has officially proposed a "Crypto Assets Rule Framework," planning to allow certain cryptocurrency financing to be exempt from full securities registration under specific conditions, including a cumulative financing cap of $5 million over four years or an annual limit of $75 million, and providing conditional safe harbor for certain token projects. Additionally, the SEC is considering limiting certain state securities registration requirements to provide a clearer compliance path for U.S. cryptocurrency companies. Market participants believe that recent actions by U.S. regulators indicate that Washington is shifting from a previous enforcement-based regulatory model to establishing a systematic regulatory framework for cryptocurrency assets.On the other hand, former Signature Bank Chairman Scott Shay has launched the N3XT Digital Dollar (NDD) digital dollar deposit project, attempting to challenge the stablecoin market. NDD operates on a public blockchain, enabling 24/7 dollar transfers, and is backed one-to-one by cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Shay stated that banks can leverage blockchain technology to create a payment system similar to stablecoins while maintaining the dollar credit advantage of the traditional financial system. The project is seen as a new attempt by banks to respond to the expansion of stablecoins. Additionally, the cryptocurrency investment market is entering a new cycle. Dragonfly partner Rob Hadick stated that although AI is attracting significant capital, cryptocurrency startup activity is still recovering, and future predictions of market, institutional applications, and improvements in U.S. regulation may drive new growth in the industry.

According to the WSJ, Wintermute's U.S. subsidiary has registered as a broker-dealer, marking the company's official entry into the regulated U.S. financial market. This registration qualifies it to apply to become a designated market maker on securities exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, providing a foundation for its expansion into the traditional financial services sector. The report noted that Wintermute is competing with large market-making institutions such as Jane Street Capital and Citadel Securities.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, recently published a lengthy article sharing his thoughts on the investment decision-making system in the AI era, emphasizing that human insights still hold irreplaceable value in financial markets.Dalio believes that investing is essentially a "value-added near-zero-sum" competitive environment. When certain information becomes widely recognized, its investment value often declines rapidly. Therefore, even the most advanced AI systems are insufficient for investors to rely on completely or to follow blindly; the true competitive advantage still lies in unique human understanding and deep insights.Drawing on Bridgewater's 50 years of development experience, Dalio suggests that decision-making should be based on a clear, understandable, and verifiable principle system. He states that principled thinking does not rely on intuition or experiential judgment, but rather systematizes decision-making standards by analyzing contexts and causal relationships, recording core principles, and utilizing historical data for verification, ultimately transforming them into computable and automatically executable decision systems.He also points out that the formation of principles cannot solely depend on data mining or directly asking AI, but must be based on logical reasoning and an understanding of the operational laws of the real world.Dalio describes this process as a "collaborative game" between humans and AI. In this model, AI provides systematic suggestions based on established principles, while humans engage in independent thinking according to their own principle framework. Both parties continuously optimize the decision-making system through comparison, discussion, and logical verification.He believes that truly valuable principles should transcend time and geography, enduring scrutiny across different historical cycles and market environments. If a principle fails, it is necessary to re-examine the underlying causal relationships and continuously revise it.Dalio states that he has already applied this method in his family office to fully leverage the new generation of AI technology and plans to continue sharing related methodologies with the outside world. He also reminds market participants that as AI technology continues to evolve, the ability to effectively combine artificial intelligence with principled thinking may become an important watershed for future competitiveness.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin's realized market cap 30-day change rate has dropped to -1.1%, marking the first time since mid-March that capital outflow has reached this level. From a peak of approximately $1.087 trillion in mid-May, the realized market cap has decreased by about $12 billion to $1.075 trillion. The contraction rate has noticeably accelerated: on June 1, this metric was -0.15%, and by June 8, it had fallen to -1.1%. During the same period, the BTC price dropped from $82,000 to $63,000, a decline of 23%. The current outflow rate is now comparable to the beginning of the capitulation in March, when this metric reached -2.4%, indicating there is still room for deterioration.The aSOPR 30-day moving average has been below 1 for 13 consecutive days since it fell below 1 on May 28, currently at 0.987, indicating an average loss of about 1.3% per transaction. The long-term aSOPR below 1 is a classic sign of weak hands being flushed out, with sellers still dominating until it rises back to 1. The combination of these two indicators defines the capitulation phase: capital is flowing out of the network, driven by loss sales.

According to The Block, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) under the Office of Management and Budget of the White House stated on its website on Tuesday that it has received the proposed rules for prediction markets submitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is currently under review. A CFTC spokesperson stated that more information will be released after the OIRA review is completed.CFTC Chairman Michael Selig has consistently argued that prediction markets fall under the "exclusive jurisdiction" of his agency and has filed lawsuits against five states, including Wisconsin, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, and New York. Trump publicly supported Selig on Tuesday, stating that the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets is "critical."

According to Fortune, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his views at the Sequoia Capital AI Summit, noting significant generational differences in how users of different ages utilize ChatGPT. He stated that older users tend to use ChatGPT as a substitute for Google Search, while those in their twenties and thirties use it as a life advisor, and college students use it as a deeply integrated daily operating system.In the U.S., over one-third of young people aged 18 to 24 frequently use ChatGPT, leveraging its conversational memory feature for emotional advice, workplace negotiations, medical consultations, and even major life decisions. Sequoia Capital made its first investment in OpenAI in 2021, when the company was valued at $140 billion; after significant private equity financing, its current valuation has reached $852 billion.

According to monitoring by Hyperinsight, the market has experienced significant volatility, with market makers potentially taking on a large number of buy orders. Among the two main market-making addresses for major cryptocurrencies on the Hyperliquid platform, Wintermute and Auros Global have both reported varying degrees of losses.It is reported that Wintermute's market-making address has a daily loss of approximately $1.1 million, with major holdings including: $23.4 million in ETH long positions and $16.3 million in BTC short positions, while providing liquidity for 96 cryptocurrencies. Auros Global's market-making address has a daily loss of approximately $400,000, with major holdings including: $44.8 million in BTC long positions and $18 million in SOL and XRP long positions, while providing liquidity for 175 cryptocurrencies.

According to Jinshi reports, the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that an increasing number of decision-makers believe there is "sufficient" reason to adopt a "two-way" statement regarding future interest rate decisions.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that the average cost of all loss-making Bitcoin chips has currently fallen below $100,000, now at only $93,600. This means that under the current chip structure, BTC will reach the market average breakeven point when it rises back to $93,000. During the two rapid declines at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, a large number of high-position trapped chips chose to cut losses and exit, lowering the average cost of overall floating loss chips.It is also observed that the average cost of loss-making chips has a deviation coefficient of 1.4 compared to the current 30-day average price of BTC, while in the past three bear market bottoms, the deviation coefficient has exceeded 2 at least. When the average deviation coefficient is greater than or equal to 2, it indicates that the market has entered an absolute bottom range, at which point the price of BTC is less than 50% of the average cost of loss-making chips. To meet this condition, the lowest point of BTC in this round would need to drop to $46,800, but historical patterns may not always hold true. This bear market may be less painful than any previous bear market. According to PolyBeats monitoring, in the market related to whether Bitcoin will reach $60,000 or $80,000 first on Polymarket, the probability of reaching $60,000 first is 68%, while the probability of reaching $80,000 first is 32%.

The U.S. Department of Justice's Northern California Prosecutor's Office announced that 10 executives and employees from four cryptocurrency market-making firms have been charged with allegedly manipulating token trading volumes and prices through wash trading, involving Gotbit, Vortex, Antier, and Contrarian.Three of the defendants have been extradited from Singapore to the U.S., and two others have pleaded guilty and been sentenced. The FBI and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division even created multiple cryptocurrency tokens during an undercover operation to investigate illegal volume manipulation and price inflation within the industry. Over $1 million in cryptocurrency assets have currently been seized.

The Sonic SVM Foundation announced the acquisition of ForgeX, a developer of on-chain market-making tools for the Solana blockchain, and officially open-sourced its core product, ForgeX CLI.ForgeX CLI is a set of on-chain operation tools for Solana developers, project teams, and AI Agents. It supports token creation based on multiple Launchpads, developer atomic purchases, same-block transactions, multi-wallet collaboration, volume management, and on-chain market-making across DEXs. All commands output structured JSON natively, which can be directly invoked and executed by AI Agents. The Sonic team stated that ForgeX CLI has been validated through multiple real projects, and this open-sourcing aims to lower the threshold for on-chain market-making and promote the evolution of the Solana ecosystem towards agent-driven on-chain operations.
