Chainalysis plans to launch an on-chain tracking standard system, proposing an "address clustering ontology" to unify blockchain forensic methods

According to CoinDesk, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis has released a new methodological proposal aimed at establishing a unified on-chain fund tracking standard framework for law enforcement agencies and investigators, to identify address clusters and determine their possible control relationships.The proposal defines the on-chain analysis structure in the form of "ontology," focusing on systematically breaking down the currently unstandardized concept of "cluster" in the industry into wallet segments and functional roles, and describing on-chain relationships through a two-layer structure: the first layer defines the transaction graph structure, and the second layer assesses inference confidence.Chainalysis stated that the framework aims to enhance the interpretability and legal applicability of on-chain forensic methods, and is designed and validated based on its practical experience in relevant cases within the U.S. Department of Justice, including the analytical application in the mixing service Bitcoin Fog case.The company's Chief Scientist Jacob Illum pointed out that the goal of the proposal is to answer "on what evidence basis can these addresses be considered to belong to the same entity," while emphasizing that on-chain analysis itself cannot directly identify the ultimate user identity and still requires legal investigative methods combined with centralized entities such as exchanges.Chainalysis indicated that the standard proposal is currently open for discussion within the industry, hoping to promote the formation of more unified technical specifications for on-chain analysis methods in the fields of law enforcement and compliance.

Strategy remains unchanged, Bitcoin listed companies' net purchases dropped by 83% in a single week

According to SoSoValue data, as of 8 AM Eastern Time on June 29, 2026, the total net purchase of Bitcoin by global listed companies (excluding mining companies) for the week was $14.65 million, a decrease of 83% compared to last week.Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) did not purchase Bitcoin last week. At the same time, Strategy announced two securities repurchase plans, each up to $1 billion, targeting Class A common stock and digital credit preferred stock led by STRC, with an annual dividend yield of 8% to 10%, aiming to optimize the capital structure without consuming existing dollar reserves. To fund the aforementioned repurchases and support daily capital expenditures, the board also approved a Bitcoin liquidation plan, allowing the company to generate up to $1.25 billion in additional revenue by selling Bitcoin to replenish dollar reserves, and to pay maturing preferred stock dividends and interest expenses (or to replenish dollar reserves after such payments) when management deems it more beneficial than issuing Class A common stock or other capital market transactions, as well as to provide additional funding support for the two repurchase plans (including related taxes and transaction fees). Although this move by MicroStrategy releases the liquidation authorization, it currently serves only as a reserve shield for repurchases, with actual "momentum not sold"; its core logic has shifted from the initial "aggressive expansion of the balance sheet" to the refined operational phase of "utilizing crypto assets to optimize equity capital structure and reduce the capital cost generated by high-yield stocks."The Japanese listed company Metaplanet did not purchase Bitcoin last week, marking ten consecutive weeks without purchases.In addition, two other companies purchased Bitcoin last week. Hong Kong's global digital health, consumer goods sales, and artificial intelligence computing power technology group CIMG announced that it has just completed the first phase of a large stock and warrant issuance, receiving $13.5 million paid in Bitcoin (207.7 Bitcoins at an average price of $65,000), bringing its total holdings to 937.7 Bitcoins; Brazilian Bitcoin company OrangeBTC announced on June 29 that it invested $4.9 million to purchase 74 Bitcoins at a price of $66,233, bringing its total holdings to 3,896 Bitcoins.As of the time of writing, the total amount of Bitcoin held by the global listed companies (excluding mining companies) in the statistics is 1,142,484 Bitcoins, an increase of 0.02% compared to last week, with a current market value of approximately $6.852 billion, accounting for 5.7% of Bitcoin's circulating market value.

Ethlabs: Existing funds can support 2–3 years of development, adhering to non-profit and neutral governance

Ethlabs published a response on platform X regarding its nonprofit positioning and funding situation, stating that the choice to operate under a nonprofit structure is to focus on the long-term development needs of Ethereum as a "public good" and to maintain the organization's independence and neutrality in research and development.In terms of governance structure, Ethlabs pointed out that its funding comes from large ETH holders and Ethereum ecosystem builders, whose interests are highly aligned with the long-term success of Ethereum, but they will not gain any governance control or participate in roadmap formulation or project prioritization decisions. Ethlabs emphasized that this arrangement is intentionally designed to avoid external funding influencing core directions.At the same time, Ethlabs stated that the future continuous financing mechanism itself is also a form of "accountability mechanism," meaning that only by continuously creating real value for the Ethereum ecosystem can they obtain subsequent funding support, thus forming a long-term feedback loop.Regarding funding, Ethlabs revealed that it is currently in the final stages of financing and has not disclosed specific amounts, but the committed funds already obtained are expected to support an operational cycle of 2 to 3 years and cover the recruitment needs for top talent. Ethlabs emphasized its positioning as a long-term project, not a one-time funding plan.

Strategy launches a digital credit capital framework, establishes a BTC monetization plan, and two $1 billion repurchase plans

According to the 8-K document submitted to the SEC by Strategy, the company announced the launch of a digital credit capital framework, which includes five core components: dollar reserve policy, adjustment of STRC dividend policy, preferred stock repurchase plan, common stock repurchase plan, and BTC monetization plan.Under the dollar reserve policy, the reserve can only be used to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest, and management must maintain a reserve sufficient to cover expected dividends and interest expenses for at least the next 12 months. As of June 28, the dollar reserve balance was $2.55 billion.Regarding the STRC dividend, the company will dynamically assess the dividend rate on a monthly basis, considering factors such as trading price, market yield, credit spread, and Bitcoin price volatility, and will not increase the dividend solely because the STRC trading price is below par value. The company also announced an increase in the annualized dividend rate for STRC to 12% from the previous level, effective July 1.In terms of the repurchase plan, the company has established two repurchase authorizations of $1 billion each, to repurchase preferred stocks such as STRC, STRF, STRD, STRK, and Class A common stock, with STRC being the primary target of the preferred stock repurchase plan. Neither of the repurchase plans will utilize dollar reserve funds.In addition, the company's board of directors has authorized the BTC monetization plan, allowing the company to raise up to $1.25 billion by selling Bitcoin, to supplement the dollar reserve, pay preferred stock dividends and interest expenses, or fund the aforementioned repurchase plans.
