According to Forbes, after Trump and Musk publicly fell out last year, they currently talk about once a month, often discussing topics such as artificial intelligence and international affairs. However, Trump privately admits that their relationship "will never be the same as it was before."The late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Vice President JD Vance have pushed for repairing the relationship between Trump and Musk, believing that this relationship is too important to lose.In May of this year, Musk visited China with Trump and other business executives, where they discussed Musk's plans to build new factories in the U.S., family matters, and Musk's plan to invest $100 million to help the Republican Party win the November elections.In an interview with The Economist last month, Musk stated that he had previously "been a bit too involved in politics, and frankly, it got a little out of control." During the fallout last year, Musk publicly criticized Trump administration policies and even called for Trump's impeachment at one point, later deleting some related posts and expressing regret for some of his criticisms of Trump.

Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that the 256 Foundation has launched the 256 Red Team security project, which audits ASIC miner firmware through reverse engineering, real-time traffic capture, and reconciliation by share level. The team stated that 41 issue reports have been submitted regarding the original Bitmain firmware as well as third-party firmware such as LuxOS, VNISH, and Braiins OS.Identified issues include unauthenticated factory APIs, paths that allow root access, default credentials, built-in vendor SSH keys, and updaters that cannot verify installed content. After reverse engineering the Bitmain miner daemon and checking real-time connections, researchers reported that no evidence of hash power hijacking, remote kill switches, or hidden beacons was found in the original Bitmain firmware; the related risks are mainly concentrated in third-party "optimized" firmware.Researchers have submitted 3 responsible disclosures to VNISH, Luxor, and Braiins, granting each party 30 days to respond before public disclosure. MicroBT, Canaan, Auradine, Bitdeer, and ePIC will undergo follow-up audits.

Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that the two major blockchain networks, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), are considering adjusting their token economic models to enhance asset scarcity by reducing future token supply growth through lowering annual inflation rates. As important native assets supporting stablecoins and tokenized asset ecosystems, the prices of ETH and SOL are primarily determined by supply and demand dynamics. If the relevant code upgrade proposals are approved, under unchanged conditions, lower supply growth may provide support for token prices.According to Grayscale's analysis, if the relevant adjustments are implemented, the supply inflation rates of BTC, ETH, and SOL will continue to decline over the next five years. By the end of 2031, the annual inflation rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to be around 0.4%, and Solana around 1.1%, which is lower than gold's annual supply growth rate of about 1.8% and the U.S. CPI inflation level of about 3.3%. Currently, these token economic adjustments are still in the community discussion phase. Among them, the Solana-related proposal has gained broader support and has a higher likelihood of implementation; the Ethereum proposal still requires further discussion.If the adjustments are implemented, staking users may face reduced token rewards, as part of the staking income comes from the issuance of new tokens. However, due to the decline in the growth rate of circulating supply, the scarcity value of the tokens may increase, potentially providing price support. For ETH and SOL holders who do not participate in staking, they may benefit directly; the final returns for stakers will depend on the balance between the decrease in rewards and the increase in prices. Zach Pandl concluded that ETH and SOL are becoming important digital commodities supporting stablecoins and the tokenization of real assets, and the economic model adjustments aimed at reducing inflation may further strengthen their scarcity attributes.

According to Bloomberg, EdgeConneX Inc., a data center operator supported by EQT, is seeking banks to provide a power cost guarantee of up to $2.5 billion to support its global data center expansion plans.EdgeConneX is negotiating a letter of credit financing arrangement with several banks, including France's Natixis and Spain's BBVA. This arrangement will help the company lock in power supply costs for its data center projects.With the rapid growth in demand for artificial intelligence training and inference, global data center construction has entered an accelerated phase, and operators are exploring new financing tools to cope with rising power procurement costs and infrastructure investment needs. EdgeConneX's request for bank support reflects that AI infrastructure companies are shifting from traditional real estate and equipment financing models to establishing new financing structures around energy supply, long-term power contracts, and other assets.In recent years, major cloud computing companies and AI infrastructure firms have increased their investments in data centers, while power supply has become a significant bottleneck constraining the expansion of AI computing power. Securing future power costs through bank credit support is becoming a new way for data center operators to obtain expansion funding.
