Bitget launches the "TradFi 100 Questions for Popular Science" long-term investor education program, breaking down the traditional financial knowledge system into 100 core questions, covering six major modules: financial basics, asset encyclopedia, market mechanisms, macroeconomics, risk management, and the evolution of multi-asset trading.The course uses structured content and weekly updated educational materials as a medium, focusing on analyzing the driving logic behind stocks, commodities, interest rates, and capital flows, helping traders establish an investment framework across asset classes.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that as the connections between financial markets deepen, crypto investors need to pay attention to factors such as interest rates, inflation, stocks, commodities, and global liquidity.The "TradFi 100 Questions for Popular Science" aims to lower the understanding threshold of traditional financial knowledge, helping users adapt to a multi-asset investment environment where traditional assets and digital assets converge.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong published an article introducing the company's latest progress in AI cost optimization.Armstrong stated that as the usage of AI and Token consumption continues to grow, the key to controlling costs is not to restrict employee usage or frequently send budget reminders, but to optimize default model selection, task routing mechanisms, and caching strategies.He revealed that Coinbase is trying to use open-weight models such as GLM 5.2 and Kimi 2.7 as default options through an internal LLM gateway, while still allowing engineers to choose other models based on specific task requirements. Data shows that 91% of the company's employees have never reached the AI usage quota limit, so Coinbase has not chosen to tighten quotas but instead improved overall efficiency through lower-cost model solutions.In terms of model routing, Coinbase preprocesses prompts and, combined with cache hit rates and the pricing of different models, automatically assigns tasks to the most suitable model. Armstrong believes that complex tasks such as planning and reasoning may require support from cutting-edge models, but execution tasks do not necessarily need to invoke higher-cost models. In the future, the model selection process should be more automated by AI rather than relying on manual decisions.Additionally, he pointed out that cache hit rate is one of the important factors affecting AI costs. Coinbase has incorporated a cache-aware mechanism into the request process to improve the reuse rate of historical results. For example, in the case of LibreChat, after optimizing the caching solution, its cache hit rate has increased from 5% to 60%.Armstrong also stated that the company requires engineers to keep context as concise as possible, including starting new sessions when switching tasks, narrowing the context scope of files, and closing unused tools, to reduce unnecessary Token consumption.According to him, through these measures, Coinbase has successfully reduced AI spending by nearly 50%, while Token usage continues to grow.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Williams stated that if the Middle East war can be resolved quickly, it will help reduce inflationary pressures.

Bitget has completed the upgrade of the ADL (Automatic Deductions) transaction price mechanism. After the upgrade, when the insurance fund account triggers ADL and matches with the counterparty's position, the transaction price will use the current mark price, making the ADL execution price closer to the actual market price. Users can more accurately assess the potential impact of ADL on positions and strategies, facilitating risk management and strategy planning.

According to CoinPost, Japan's national corporate pension fund plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in the fiscal year 2026, with an allocation ratio of about 1% of its total operating assets (approximately 21.3 billion yen).The report states that the asset allocation ratio for the fiscal year 2025 is: 80% in yen, 15% in US dollars, and 5% in other currencies. However, in the fiscal year 2026, the yen allocation ratio will decrease to 70%, and a new 10% allocation will be made for currencies from developed countries. The remaining 5% will consist of emerging market currencies, gold, and cryptocurrencies.The main purpose is to diversify currency risk. The fund's executive director, Ai Yuki, stated that due to the potential weakening of the US dollar as a benchmark currency, they decided not to increase their holdings in US dollars and instead use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as a hedge against currency depreciation, as Bitcoin has a lower correlation with the US dollar index.After approximately six years of investigation, the fund has determined that the cryptocurrency market has matured as the investor base has expanded. In the future, the fund will continue to explore the possibility of expanding cryptocurrency investments, including funds for arbitrage trading of various cryptocurrencies.

According to Cointelegraph, former Bank for International Settlements President Agustín Carstens stated at the Point Zero Forum that stablecoins can promote financial innovation and inclusivity while reducing costs.He pointed out that efforts should be made to create conditions for the coexistence of fiat currency and stablecoins. If we hope to establish a global system where stablecoins interact with global currencies, this must be a global cooperative effort. Improved regulation and a fair competitive environment for issuers can help stablecoins thrive dramatically.

According to the latest industry reports and corporate disclosure documents, the technology industry is experiencing a large-scale wave of layoffs driven by artificial intelligence (AI) in 2026. Despite several companies achieving record high revenues, major tech giants are intensively restructuring their organizational frameworks to reallocate funds towards AI infrastructure development and to enhance operational efficiency through AI. Data shows that in May of this year, the number of layoffs in the tech industry reached the highest monthly record in years, with AI being the core reason for the layoffs.On the execution level, several leading companies have implemented large-scale personnel reductions. Oracle's latest documents reveal that in the past 12 months, 21,000 employees (approximately 13% of the total workforce) have been laid off due to internal AI technology deployment. Amazon cut 16,000 corporate positions in January this year, with management expecting that the widespread application of generative AI will significantly reduce the demand for traditional roles. While Meta laid off about 8,000 employees, nearly 7,000 were reorganized into core AI business positions. Block significantly reduced its workforce by 4,000, nearly halving its total number of employees to adapt to the flattened operational model brought about by AI tools.Additionally, companies including Cisco (4,000 people), Intuit (3,000 people), Atlassian (1,600 people), Cloudflare (1,100 people), Snap (1,000 people), as well as Coinbase, Salesforce, and others have announced substantial layoff plans related to AI transformation this year. At the same time, although Google, Microsoft, and IBM have not disclosed specific total layoff numbers, they are also continuously advancing rolling job replacements and restructuring linked to AI strategies.

According to Jinshi, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that Federal Reserve Chairman Waller's approach is to reduce speculation on interest rates and decrease forward guidance, and he expressed considerable agreement with this approach.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin developers are discussing the removal of the explicit Replace-by-Fee (RBF) signal from the Bitcoin Core wallet. Developer rkrux stated that since full-RBF has become the standard strategy, the BIP 125 RBF signal has become redundant and may leave unnecessary wallet chain fingerprints.Community member Murch noted that stopping the sending of replaceability signals is not simply about removing "fingerprints," as each sender still has to choose a sequence number for each input; currently, about 75% of transactions have used specific sequence numbers, primarily MAX-2. rkrux indicated that the default input sequence number should adopt best practices recognized by a broader wallet community.

Anza CEO Brennan Watt stated that the Solana-related SIMD proposals are expected to be advanced and completed within this year. Among them, SIMD-123 has been approved and is nearing the code completion stage; the draft discussion for SIMD-547 is essentially in the same direction as SIMD-553, while both SIMD-553 and SIMD-550 have received concept acknowledgment (concept ACK) from Anza. If SIMD-550 and SIMD-553 are implemented together, it will increase the annual inflation reduction rate of SOL from 15% to 30%. Under the current price assumptions, this could reduce token emissions by approximately $1.36 billion over six years, while increasing the daily SOL burn rate from about 650 tokens (approximately $47,000) to a maximum of about 9,000 tokens (approximately $646,000).

Binance founder CZ disclosed on social media that over the past two years, he has donated $500,000 every six months to the nonprofit organization Prison Professors, totaling four donations and reaching $2 million.

The Ethereum Glamsterdam hard fork entered the final development testnet phase on Tuesday, locking in ten EIP proposals, positioned as the largest protocol upgrade since the merge.The two core proposals are: EIP-7732, which directly writes the proposer-builder separation (ePBS) into the consensus layer, replacing the current reliance on off-chain relays like MEV-Boost; and EIP-7928, which introduces block-level access lists (BALs), allowing validators to process unrelated transactions in parallel. The combination of these paves the way for a 200 million Gas limit, increasing approximately three times from the current level of about 60 million, with theoretical throughput reaching around 10,000 TPS.On the user side, EIP-2780 is expected to make standard ETH transfers up to 71% cheaper. The mainnet activation date has yet to be determined and must first complete validation on the Holesky and Hoodi testnets. Based on historical rhythms, it is expected to go live between September and December 2026. The 200 million Gas limit is a design goal rather than a fork-enforced value, ultimately to be gradually increased by validators through Gas voting signals.

According to Coindesk, Bittensor developers have submitted a new proposal called "Root Reborn," which aims to change the revenue distribution mechanism for Root network stakers.Currently, the revenue for Root network stakers is paid by selling subnet tokens for TAO, which continues to create selling pressure on subnet tokens. The new proposal will allow validators to actively choose a combination of supported subnets and reinvest the revenue originally intended for sale into these subnets, forming a basket of assets that compounds over time.This move will convert the ongoing selling pressure into net buying demand for subnet tokens, while transforming validators from passive revenue channels into active selectors similar to fund managers. Stakers will still receive revenue and can exchange subnet assets for TAO at any time.The proposal has currently only been submitted to the testnet and has not yet been deployed to the mainnet. It is reported that TAO has dropped 28% in the past 12 months, and the current annualized yield for Root network staking is approximately 17%.

According to TheEnergyMag, Tether sold 627,000 shares of Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) at a price of about $20 per share from June 3 to 4, cashing out approximately $12.7 million.Previously, Tether had made a large purchase of Bitdeer shares at an average price of about $8.85 per share during a period of low stock prices in February this year.

Both parties will also assess cooperation opportunities in blockchain infrastructure, digital payments, educational activities, and hackathons.

According to BBX data, ahead of the FOMC meeting yesterday and under the dual catalyst of the US-Iran agreement, the sentiment for cryptocurrency concept stocks has significantly warmed up. The core dynamics are as follows:Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR) rose 3.18% to $123.97 on June 15, marking one of several days of recovery; Bitcoin rose to about $64,000 during the same period, but there remains about a 15% discount compared to the company's average price of $75,680 for 843,738 BTC. The company's most important balance sheet action recently came from the SEC 8-K on May 25: repurchasing $1.5 billion in face value convertible bonds maturing in 2029 for about $1.38 billion in cash (completed at about an 8% discount to face value), reducing the convertible bond stock from $8.2 billion to $6.7 billion, generating a BTC Yield of 0.7% and a BTC Gain of about 4,391 BTC; as of May 25, USD reserves were $871 million, and the company stated it would "supplement reserves over time based on market conditions"; since the beginning of 2026, the cumulative BTC Yield is 13.3%. Phong Le (CEO): This transaction "reflects the discipline of using comprehensive capital management tools in debt management"; Saylor previously stated that Strategy still had assets covering all debts when BTC fell to $8,000, implying resilience in extreme scenarios.Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: $COIN) was listed by CoinGape in a June 15 research report as one of the "three cryptocurrency concept stocks to watch" ahead of this week's FOMC (the other two being $MSTR and $BMNR); currently, BTC is about $64,000 and ETH is about $1,660, with the market pricing a 97.4% probability of no interest rate hike at the FOMC on June 17 (2.6% for a rate cut, 0% for a rate hike); the significant US-Iran agreement (over the weekend of June 14-15) has driven a comprehensive rebound in risk assets, with a sharp drop in oil prices easing inflationary pressures, providing additional support for the recovery of sentiment in the cryptocurrency market—if the FOMC dot plot does not show unexpectedly hawkish signals, Coinbase's prediction market and institutional custody business are expected to benefit from the dual improvement in trading volume and asset scale brought about by the recovery of BTC trends.

According to PR Newswire, BitMine's Class A perpetual preferred stock (stock code: BMNP) has been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange and is set to begin trading on June 16, with a dividend yield of 9.50%.The board has announced the first cash dividend of $0.316667 per share, which will be paid on June 22 to shareholders registered as of the close on June 12; the second weekly dividend will be $0.105556 per share, which will be paid on June 26 to shareholders registered as of the close on June 16.

Bitcoin has completed its latest difficulty adjustment at block height 953,568, with a decrease of -10.09% (138.96T → 124.93T), marking the 11th largest single adjustment in history and the second largest drop since 2026. Additionally, this adjustment cycle lasted approximately 15.6 days, significantly higher than the theoretical target cycle of 14 days, reflecting a recent phase of mining power going offline.Analysis suggests that the approximately 15% price correction in June compressed miners' profit margins, leading to some mining power exiting the network, which triggered this significant adjustment and brought mining difficulty back to a balanced level.
