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.

On the evening of June 25, CoinUp held a Space live broadcast on platform X, with CoinUp founder Queenie attending to respond to recent hot topics, reaching a peak online audience of over 15.6K.This Space focused on issues such as the relationship between Zhu Pan and CoinUp, the current operational status of the platform, CPX price fluctuations, the platform's original intention, and future plans. Queenie publicly reiterated that Zhu Pan is not an employee of the CoinUp platform, the platform is currently operating normally, deposits and withdrawals are functioning normally, and there is absolutely no intention to run away.Queenie emphasized that CoinUp will adhere to long-termism, continuously optimizing product experience, project review, and risk control mechanisms. In the future, the platform will continue to upgrade around diversified asset products, CPX ecological applications, and global business, and will accelerate the promotion of compliance license layouts in more regions to drive CoinUp's ecological construction in a more robust and transparent manner.

The founder of DefiLlama, 0xngmi, announced the launch of a new off-chain proof/verification service, which will be used to verify and audit off-chain data, including information such as bank account balances, to help projects achieve reliable verification of real-world assets and other off-chain data.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov responded to reports regarding Kraken's parent company Payward's intention to acquire a 15% stake in the Aave protocol, stating that AAVE "cannot be sold at a 70% discount." Previously, CoinDesk reported that Payward was negotiating to acquire a 15% stake in Aave at a valuation of $385 million. Based on this valuation, it would only correspond to about 30% of the fully diluted valuation of AAVE tokens, which is significantly lower than the market valuation.Kulechov stated on X that the reports were not accurate. He did not completely deny that Aave Labs might sell some of its held AAVE tokens, but he mentioned that Aave Labs does indeed hold a certain amount of AAVE and that several market participants have discussed purchasing through direct or indirect means or engaging in deeper cooperation around long-term partnerships. Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol in the Ethereum ecosystem. Kulechov stated that Aave currently has an annual revenue of approximately $134 million, with the related revenue flowing to Aave DAO. He had previously proposed a governance plan to redirect Aave Labs, protocol, and product revenues to Aave DAO and token holders.At the time of this rumor, Aave was experiencing some pressure. After the Kelp DAO incident in April, Aave's TVL significantly declined. Although Aave itself was not directly attacked, the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge attackers had used Aave to convert the stolen rsETH into other assets.

According to official news, regarding recent discussions about the platform on the market and social media, CoinUp founder Queenie Li published an article on the X platform to respond to a series of concerns.Regarding platform security, Queenie Li emphasized that CoinUp will never run away. All assets on the platform are secure, and the deposit and withdrawal functions are operating normally, with the operations team on duty 24 hours a day. After a comprehensive inspection, CoinUp has not suffered any hacker attacks or data breaches.Regarding Mr. Zhu Pan, the response article once again clarified that he is not the operator or a member of CoinUp, and his identity is only that of a project party for a project launched on CoinUp.In addition, Queenie emphasized that third-party security audits, asset reserve proof disclosures will be promoted, and investigations into the backgrounds of project founders will be strengthened.According to CoinUp's official news, CoinUp founder Queenie will hold an X Space on June 25 at 20:00 (UTC+8) to publicly respond to recent rumors of "running away," the platform's operational status, user asset security, CPX fluctuations, and relationships among relevant personnel.

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.

Aave founder Stani stated that he could accept the reserve requirement if the Bank of England (BoE) is willing to pay market rates on the 30% of base assets that need to be held at the central bank for systemic stablecoins. Previously, the BoE proposed that part of the reserves for systemic stablecoins should be held at the central bank to reduce risk; Stani's statement focuses on whether the passive deposit rates can cover the opportunity cost of these "locked" assets.

David Hoffman, the founder of Bankless who previously liquidated all ETH, posted on X about the newly established Ethlabs, stating: "The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has deliberately left a power vacuum for new organizational structures to emerge and influence the direction of Ethereum's development. I believe the direction led by Ethlabs represents the brightest future for Ethereum. I am pleased and will continue to support them on their path forward."Previously, David Hoffman publicly stated in late May that he had liquidated all ETH. Last night, several former Ethereum Foundation researchers announced the establishment of the nonprofit organization Ethlabs, aimed at promoting Ethereum's next phase of growth, with support from Bitmine, SharpLink, and Joe Lubin among others.

According to Coindesk, former 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder stated that there is a significant communication misalignment between the crypto industry and traditional finance regarding the issue of tokenization.Snyder pointed out that current discussions mostly focus on the settlement speed of blockchain and the ability to transfer assets, but overlook the operational processes from trade execution to final settlement. She believes that tokenization projects are feasible in small-scale tests, but face enormous challenges in supporting the massive flow of funds in the U.S. capital markets.The main difficulties include: how to integrate tokenized assets into existing ledger systems, compliance processes, and regulatory reporting frameworks, as well as how to adjust the risk management framework to accommodate round-the-clock trading. Additionally, many third-party software solutions relied upon by financial institutions have yet to support blockchain-native transactions.She stated that the real challenges will become apparent when institutions incorporate tokenized infrastructure into their core business pathways. The industry is still in the pilot phase, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale implementation.

Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum, stated on social media that it would be a wonderful thing if the world could have a truly trustworthy and neutral global coordination and digital asset settlement platform. It is the large-scale and rigorous decentralization achieved by the Ethereum platform that makes this vision possible. Soon, and in the near future, more organizations with trustworthy neutrality and ample funding will join in to promote this mission alongside the Ethereum Foundation.These organizations will focus on facilitating the development of the entire Ethereum ecosystem and advancing the areas of interest for many financial institutions adopting Ethereum technology, including: Ethereum Mainnet, Layer 2 networks (L2), and private Ethereum networks. In the future, these three major systems will be able to achieve near real-time interoperability and composability, while ETH will flow freely within this expanded Ethereum ecosystem landscape.

Bittensor co-founder const posted on the X platform, detailing the current state of decentralization of the project, future roadmap, and goals. Bittensor has not yet achieved decentralization at the economic incentive layer, which is still led by the core team, including const himself, two engineers, and a core group of contributors. The project has been live for over 5 years, with no pre-mining, and has 128 subnet teams and over 20 core validator teams, achieving decentralization at the ownership distribution level. The team chose to rapidly iterate at the cost of "maintaining centralization" rather than slowly advancing "democratic" decision-making.Regarding future update plans, Bittensor will promote validators to re-enter the competitive mechanism while opening liquidity pools for two-way investment to symmetrize the market and prevent on-chain signals from being manipulated. Additionally, a belief mechanism will be introduced to grant voting rights to Alpha token holders. In the coming weeks, updates will also be made to TaoFlow and its derivatives, further fine-tuning the issuance distribution algorithm to optimize the distribution method of inflation. Const expects to complete the construction of core mechanisms within the next year and a half, at which point the three pillars of incentive alignment, value optimization, and true ownership will operate in synergy, ultimately achieving complete decentralization by abandoning centralized control.

According to FinanceFeeds, Tether co-founder Reeve Collins stated that the stablecoin industry is entering the "2.0 era." Currently, the stablecoin infrastructure still has structural issues, and the next-generation solutions need to address the problem of users not being able to earn returns on reserve assets. The core logic of the stablecoin 1.0 model is "users provide 1 dollar, and the issuer issues 1 token," but users only gain the convenience of payments and transfers without sharing in the reserve earnings. In the future, financial services will gradually become infrastructure, and "users will not care which bank sends the funds," while AI agents may choose different financial ecosystems based on user interests. The next phase of competition in stablecoins will revolve around financial infrastructure and revenue distribution models.Regarding regulatory issues, Reeve Collins disclosed that he still holds Bitcoin for the long term, while also pointing out that dollar stablecoins essentially remain an extension of the U.S. financial system, which carries regulatory reach risks and differs from central bank digital currency (CBDC) models, the latter of which may bring stronger programmability and financial monitoring capabilities.
