The Ethereum Layer2 project Taiko announced that the attack path that occurred on June 21 has been blocked, and the related fixes have been reviewed by independent security experts, ensuring that user funds will not suffer losses.The team has developed a four-step restart plan: the first step is to deploy the fix and confirm the final state of the chain is correct, ensuring there are no forged checkpoints or claim paths that can be exploited by attackers, which will be reviewed by the Security Council; the second step is to replenish the cross-chain bridge funds, ensuring that L2 assets are fully backed 1:1, and that anyone can verify on-chain; the third step is to restore network operation, reopening transfer, exchange, and trading functions on L2; the fourth step is for the Security Council to submit a proposal to lift the suspension of the cross-chain bridge after confirming that the chain can achieve stable final confirmation and the network operates stably.Users will then be free to transfer funds between Taiko and other chains, and the team will implement a conservative withdrawal limit as an additional safety measure, but it is expected that there will be no restrictions on users' normal asset transfers.

According to Bitcoin News, Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, stated to lawmakers in the U.S. Congress that the development of open-source AI is entering a "very dangerous path." Once powerful AI models are released in open-source form, developers will lose effective oversight over the usage of the models, including the inability to monitor abuse, revoke access, or dynamically update security mechanisms, thereby increasing potential risks.Dario Amodei mentioned that compared to closed model systems, fully open models are more difficult to implement continuous control over security governance, which may lead to irreversible abuse risks.

According to Jinshi reports, the research report from Zhongtai Securities indicates that overall, the market is likely to maintain a clear bottom and a pattern of consolidation in the next week or two. After the important IPO listings, as market uncertainties settle and sentiment improves, the market is expected to welcome a rally towards previous highs/new highs. The subsequent market style will still be technology diffusion rather than style switching.Focus on technology: storage and semiconductor equipment, overseas computing power chains. Storage and semiconductor equipment are currently the most certain directions.Non-technology directions: new energy, AI-related new materials and minor metals, engineering machinery, and brokerage firms. In the new energy sector, the electricity demand driven by AI computing power expansion and the logic of going overseas constitute medium-term support. In terms of AI-related new materials, the price increase spiral for copper-clad laminates (CCL) has already begun. Brokerage firms benefit from IPO participation and active market trading, still presenting opportunities for fluctuations.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Supreme People's Procuratorate held a press conference today. Deputy Chief Procurator Miao Shengming introduced that the procuratorial organs are deeply investigating and thoroughly examining "self-money laundering" and "third-party money laundering" crimes, vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets, and ensuring comprehensive coverage in the investigation and prosecution of drug-related money laundering crimes. From January last year to May this year, more than 1,200 people have been prosecuted for drug-related money laundering crimes. The Supreme People's Procuratorate has taken over the supervision of a major cross-border smuggling, trafficking, transporting drugs, and money laundering case involving Li Moubo and others, handled by the Chongqing procuratorial organs. Li Moubo laundered more than 48 million yuan through virtual currency and was sentenced to death after being punished for multiple crimes according to the law.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the current Bitcoin purchasing behavior of Strategy resembles a "liquidity absorber" rather than an effective price catalyst.He pointed out that in the past two years, Bitcoin's market capitalization has increased by $467 billion, yet the price has actually dropped by 1%, indicating that the influx of large amounts of capital has merely resulted in a transfer of chips without driving up the price. In the current environment with obvious selling pressure, continuous buying by Strategy may only serve to maintain the range rather than truly drive an increase.Ki Young Ju suggested that Strategy pause Bitcoin purchases until cash reserves and dividend coverage capabilities are restored; establish a systematic, model-driven buying framework to avoid the market impression of "always buying at local highs"; and create a disciplined selling mechanism in the next bull market to reduce leverage and realize shareholder value by partially taking profits at highs, while accumulating reserves of "dry powder" for future lows.He believes that this cycle is different from previous ones, as Bitcoin has been in a sideways trend for nearly two years, neither forming a strong bull market nor experiencing sufficient panic selling and weak hands clearing out. The market may need a more thorough clearing to initiate a healthier rebound.

NextGen Venture founder Jason Huang posted on platform X that Strategy (MSTR) issued new shares through an ATM last week, which did not actually increase the per-share Bitcoin holdings but instead diluted its mNAV multiple. He pointed out that the number of Bitcoins corresponding to each share is decreasing, and the official mNAV metric has dropped to 1.1 times, based on the most recent disclosure before last week's decline. Huang warned that once MSTR's performance relative to Bitcoin lags by another 10% (negative Alpha), each issuance through the ATM will further dilute the per-share Bitcoin holdings, and at that point, the death spiral will truly begin; the recent decline is merely an appetizer.

According to Jinshi reports, options traders' views on the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate path are increasingly divergent, with various betting directions ranging from bets on interest rate cuts in the coming months to differing degrees of interest rate hikes. Swap market pricing shows that it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at its meeting on Wednesday, and all eyes will turn to Chairman Waller's first press conference for clues about future policy. Although the United States and Iran are preparing to officially sign a temporary peace agreement, oil prices have fallen to a three-month low, providing some relief to inflationary pressures, but future policy remains unclear.

According to a report by Bloomvingbit, the South Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy stated that tokenized stocks are considered securities rather than virtual assets. If the Financial Services Commission confirms their securities nature, taxes can be imposed immediately under the current Capital Markets Act, potentially as early as the second half of this year. Officials from the Ministry of Finance pointed out that although tokenized stocks are formally virtual assets, they are essentially closer to securities.The Financial Services Commission has previously clarified in its token securities guidelines that token securities are securities issued in the form of digital assets and fall under the jurisdiction of the Capital Markets Act. Currently, the market generally believes that tokenized stocks are classified as virtual assets (non-taxable assets) and can enjoy tax exemption until the implementation of virtual asset taxation next year. However, the Ministry of Finance emphasizes its stance on taxation and is establishing an information exchange system with overseas tax authorities such as the IRS. Offshore transactions on overseas platforms are also included in the taxation scope; regardless of where they are issued, as long as the economic value and rights structure essentially belong to securities, they can be subject to dividend income tax.
