On June 23, according to WEEX TradFi data, precious metals and commodities overall weakened, and market risk aversion sentiment has temporarily eased. Among them, XAU fell 0.81% in 24 hours, GOLD (PAXG) fell 0.83% in 24 hours, and CRUDEOIL fell 2.08% in 24 hours.WEEX Labs believes that the recent decline in crude oil is mainly influenced by the easing situation in the Middle East and improved supply expectations, while gold prices are affected by the trend of the US dollar, real interest rates, and changes in ETF demand. This round of adjustment reflects a repricing of macro factors, with funds focusing on subsequent data and news changes. In the short term, attention should be paid to the impact of interest rate paths and geopolitical factors on the commodity market.

According to Fortune, American public safety AI company Peregrine Technologies has completed a $250 million Series D funding round, achieving a valuation of $6.8 billion, nearly tripling from the previous $2.5 billion valuation in just 15 months. This round was led by existing investors including Sequoia Capital.Peregrine's core product is a government data integration platform that unifies existing city data such as police records, 911 logs, license databases, sensor data, and emergency management systems for real-time retrieval. It also features built-in role-based access control and complete audit tracking, while the platform itself does not collect or hold any data. Currently, the platform serves over 400 law enforcement agencies, covering approximately 125 million people in North America, and is operating security integration centers for 8 of the 11 host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Co-founder and CEO Nick Noone previously led Palantir's special operations business, including the intelligence platform tracking ISIS; co-founder and CTO Ben Rudolph previously built data infrastructure at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The company stated that the new funds will be used for product development, expanding the engineering and implementation teams, international expansion, and employee mobility arrangements. Noone indicated that they have not yet decided whether to pursue an IPO but are preparing internal infrastructure for a potential listing.The government AI market is estimated to be valued at approximately $25 billion by 2025 and is expected to grow to $109 billion by 2035. However, the ongoing civil liberties controversies surrounding AI law enforcement monitoring remain a persistent challenge for Peregrine.

The People's Bank of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Financial Regulatory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the "Offshore Financial Action Plan for the Development of Shanghai International Financial Center," which points out that relying on the international operation center of the digital renminbi, it is necessary to build and operate the cross-border, offshore, and blockchain infrastructure of the digital renminbi under the premise of safety and controllability, steadily promote the interconnection with overseas financial infrastructure, and steadily advance the application and scenario expansion of the digital renminbi in offshore business.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. government's export controls and access restrictions on Anthropic's models Fable 5 / Mythos 5 partly stem from Amazon's cybersecurity research and AWS CEO Andy Jassy's communications with the White House.It is reported that the research submitted by Amazon indicated that through a series of prompt tests, researchers were able to induce Fable 5 to output sensitive information that could potentially be used for cyberattacks, raising security concerns. Subsequently, Andy Jassy reported the relevant findings to the U.S. government, prompting the White House to take further restrictive measures, including banning foreign users from accessing the model.At the same time, former U.S. Department of Commerce official Kate Koren revealed that the White House's existing policy stance on Anthropic may also have influenced this decision-making judgment, as there are differences between Anthropic and the White House on AI safety boundary issues, including the refusal to use the model for large-scale surveillance or lethal autonomous weapon systems. Although both sides had eased tensions and expanded cooperation earlier this year, this incident may once again exacerbate the strained relationship.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm a16z, published an article outlining his stance on AI regulation by the U.S. government. He stated that if so-called regulation means creating complex rules by people who do not understand the technology, suppressing innovation through layers of approval and compliance requirements, and ultimately becoming a tool for large enterprises to consolidate market positions and hinder newcomers, then he will firmly oppose such regulation.In his view, excessive regulation often leads to startups being crushed by cumbersome procedures and high compliance costs, causing innovative talent to flow to more open markets, while regulatory agencies themselves continue to expand, ultimately deviating from their original goals.Andreessen specifically criticized the regulatory mindset centered on the "precautionary principle," arguing that if this concept is amplified indefinitely, it could lead society to reject new technologies out of fear of potential risks. Many regulatory measures often arrive late, after fundamental changes in technology and industry have already occurred, making it difficult to address real issues and potentially becoming obstacles to innovative development. He also attributed the relatively lagging state of technological innovation in Europe in recent years to a culture of excessive regulation, believing that regulation should not become a moat to protect vested interests and raise market entry barriers.However, Andreessen emphasized that he does not oppose all forms of regulation. On the contrary, he supports rules that can build market trust, ensure public safety, and maintain fair competition. For example, preventing AI from faking voices to commit financial fraud, preventing deepfake content from interfering with elections, preventing technology from being used to harm vulnerable groups, and ensuring that consumers and businesses can safely use new technologies.In his view, reasonable regulation is like guardrails on a highway and a braking system in a car; it does not hinder technological progress but rather allows innovation to develop in a faster and more sustainable manner. Andreessen stated that what is truly worth pursuing is not "zero regulation" or "heavy regulation," but finding a balance between innovative vitality and social trust, which is also his unwavering stance.Previously, the U.S. government forcibly "recalled" commercial models due to jailbreak risks, leading Anthropic to take Fable 5 offline overnight and publicly protest.

American venture capitalist and billionaire Tim Draper posted on the X platform that he believes the banking system will be breached before quantum computing has the capability to break blockchain. Draper stated that Bitcoin is safer than the dollars in bank accounts. Even if there are issues with blockchain, full node operators can roll back to the last secure block, and the network can continue to operate, whereas dollars and banks do not have this option. He predicts that as retailers begin to accept Bitcoin, it will eventually completely replace the dollar.

According to The Block, the Donjon security team under Ledger has bypassed the firmware verification mechanism of the TROPIC01 chip used in the Trezor Safe 7 through precise laser attacks in a laboratory environment, allowing unauthorized firmware to be loaded as long as the attacker possesses the physical device.Chip manufacturer Tropic Square further discovered that there are additional attack vectors in the MAC-and-Destroy security mechanism used for PIN verification on this chip, but details will not be disclosed until the enhanced version of the chip is launched at the end of 2026.Trezor stated that the PIN, mnemonic backup, and private keys have never been stored on a single chip, and they have notified partners, so ordinary users do not need to take action. Currently, the feasibility of attacks can be reduced by disabling the chip's MAINTENANCE mode.

According to The Defiant, Ethereum researchers Thomas Coratger, Justin Drake, and others released a proposal on June 1 at the Ethereum research forum, planning to establish a dedicated XMSS public key registry as the first concrete protocol upgrade for Ethereum's migration to post-quantum cryptography.This registry allows approximately 1 million validators to pre-register quantum-safe XMSS keys before the full switch to the BLS signature system, serving as an important "preheating phase" to reduce the impact of the subsequent switch on network stability. This proposal has been included in the Ethereum Foundation's protocol team's Strawmap roadmap, marking the first protocol fork on that roadmap.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Florida has launched a fierce attack in an increasingly intense protest against the so-called safety flaws of artificial intelligence chatbots, becoming the first state to sue OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman.The lawsuit filed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday claims that OpenAI and Altman were aware of the safety risks associated with their products but ignored warnings that could harm users.

According to CoinDesk, JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and others stated that as signs of easing tensions in the Middle East emerge, investors are gradually withdrawing from the Bitcoin and gold markets. The "devaluation trade" that had driven demand for both is losing momentum.In the past two weeks, both Bitcoin and gold-related ETFs have seen significant outflows, and institutional positions in the CME futures market have also weakened simultaneously. This trend indicates that investors are retreating from the macro hedging trades that had become popular due to inflation concerns and global instability, and it is not that Bitcoin funds are shifting to gold, but rather that both asset classes are facing a simultaneous decline in demand. Since the Iran conflict, Bitcoin has been a major representation of the "devaluation trade."

Circle released a quantum security white paper, proposing a phased upgrade plan covering Arc, USDC, smart contracts, and the validator system to address potential security risks posed by future quantum computing.

J.P. Morgan analysts, including Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, stated that as signs of easing tensions in the Middle East emerge, investors are gradually withdrawing from the Bitcoin and gold markets. The "devaluation trade" that previously drove demand for both is losing momentum.In the past two weeks, both Bitcoin and gold-related ETFs have seen significant capital outflows, and institutional positions in the CME futures market have also weakened concurrently. This trend indicates that investors are retreating from the macro hedging trades that became popular due to inflation concerns and global instability, and it is not a case of Bitcoin funds shifting to gold; rather, both asset classes are facing a simultaneous decline in demand. Since the Iran conflict, Bitcoin has been a major representation of the "devaluation trade."

According to The Block, OpenZeppelin co-founder Manuel Aráoz stated that he now believes "all DeFi is unsafe," and he has advised friends and family to exit all DeFi positions, including Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, posted on the X platform to interpret the Squid security incident. He stated that sampling found that the related Safe wallets were all single-signature, and the owners were all different, but the issue was not with the private keys; the problem lay in the modules (SquidRouterModule) used by these Safe addresses, which had vulnerabilities. Attackers could forge messages, easily bypass relevant validations, and initiate subsequent exchange operations to transfer funds from the target Safe wallet. In addition, Yu Xian also disclosed information about the address where the attackers' profits were deposited.Previously, it was reported that a third-party Gnosis Safe module was exploited on Base and Ethereum, resulting in a loss of approximately $3.2 million, with the victims being 86 Gnosis Safes that had added this contract as a trusted Safe Module. The contract was named "SquidRouterModule" on Basescan, and subsequently, Squid clarified that it was not affected by the Gnosis Safe-related vulnerability incident.

According to Blockaid monitoring, the cross-chain routing protocol Squid is currently under continuous attack on the SquidRouterModule on the Ethereum and Base networks. Within about two hours of the attack, 86 Gnosis Safe wallets have been emptied, with losses amounting to approximately 3 million dollars.The attacker subsequently exchanged all stolen tokens for DAI through their controlled Uniswap V3 liquidity pool and consolidated them into a single address. Currently, this consolidated wallet holds approximately 3.07 million dollars in DAI.

According to Jin Shi reports, Sky Links Capital Group CEO Daniel Takieddine stated that the dollar trading trend is stable and remains close to multi-week highs, thanks to the strong performance of U.S. economic data and the uncertainty of U.S.-Iran negotiations. He pointed out that recent U.S. data has strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates for a longer period, and although market pricing indicates that rates will remain unchanged this year, there is still a possibility of rate hikes if inflationary pressures persist.

Polymarket staff Shantikiran Chanal posted on platform X that they have noted a security report related to reward distribution, and user funds and market settlements are in a secure state. The investigation points to a wallet used for internal operations experiencing a private key leak, rather than an issue with the contract or core infrastructure. More updates will be released later.Previously, ZachXBT stated that the Polymarket UMA CTF Adapter contract was suspected to have been attacked on Polygon, with over $520,000 currently leaked.

According to CryptoBriefing, Iran has launched the state-supported digital maritime insurance platform Hormuz Safe, which provides maritime insurance for vessels passing through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, settling in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The Iranian government believes that if the platform can capture a significant share of the Persian Gulf shipping insurance market, it could generate over $10 billion in revenue.Hormuz Safe aims to bypass the SWIFT network and Western intermediaries, reducing Iran's reliance on traditional financial infrastructure. The biggest obstacle the platform faces is the issue of international recognition; if shipowners, trading companies, or port authorities interact with the platform, it may trigger secondary sanctions risks.
