Bitget has announced an upgrade to its CFD copy trading feature, introducing two new position-following modes and independent risk management settings—evolving copy trading from “simple strategy replication” to “personalized risk management.” While referencing professional strategies, users can now establish a foundational risk control layer aligned with their individual risk tolerance. Regarding position management, two new modes have been added: “Fixed-Ratio Copy Trading” and “Fixed-Lot Copy Trading.” Under the Fixed-Ratio mode, the system intelligently calculates position sizes based on the capital ratio between the user and the lead trader, ensuring proportional risk alignment. Under the Fixed-Lot mode, users can set a fixed order size per trade (e.g., 0.01 lots), enabling small-capital users to cost-effectively test a trader’s actual win rate. On the risk control front, this upgrade introduces independent take-profit and stop-loss settings. Users can now define personalized take-profit and stop-loss amounts for their own accounts when copying any trader—even if the lead trader remains in open positions, the system automatically triggers the user’s stop-loss. Additionally, a new “Maximum Lot Size per Copy Trade” limit has been added to prevent excessively large positions triggered automatically due to high account equity.

Bitcoin has dropped approximately 40% since Strategy launched its Bitcoin financing instrument, STRC, which has now fallen below its $100 issuance par value. This has sparked market debate over the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “flywheel” model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but its purchase pace has notably slowed recently. Data shows that during the week ending June 8, the company added 1,550 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. The following week, ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC, valued at about $100 million. In contrast, during a single week in April 2026, the firm bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decline in its recent capital deployment.Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. While minimal relative to its total holdings, the market views this as a sign that cash flow pressures could intensify if STRC’s funding efficiency declines. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock instrument trading near its $100 par value, using dividend adjustments to attract investors and help Strategy raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. STRC has now fallen to historic lows, once dropping to $82.53 before closing at $88.59—roughly 13% below par value.Critics argue that STRC’s dip below par indicates mounting pressure on Strategy’s funding channels. Peter Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, labeled STRC “a typical centralized Ponzi scheme,” claiming the model relies on continuous financing or Bitcoin sales to sustain itself. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC’s recent performance, describing its trading behavior as resembling a “Ponzi scheme.”However, some analysts believe STRC’s decline is more due to leverage liquidations than a fundamental deterioration of Strategy. STRC had long traded around $99 to $100, attracting leveraged traders. When the price broke below a key level, forced liquidations were triggered, exacerbating the drop.Analyst Scott Melker noted that STRC’s current yield has actually improved due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on the $100 liquidation preference, at an STRC price of $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend translates to an actual yield of about 12.8%. If the price falls to $85, the yield could exceed 13%.Strategy is expected to announce its next STRC dividend adjustment by June 30. The market is now focused on whether the STRC discount will persist and whether Strategy’s model of using capital market financing to continuously accumulate BTC can remain stable. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on platform X that South Korea's preliminary export data for June 1-20 shows DRAM (including modules) up 342% year-on-year and 3% month-on-month; NAND flash up 336% year-on-year and 28% month-on-month; MCP (HBM) up 209% year-on-year and 51% month-on-month; SSD up 405% year-on-year and 25% month-on-month.
According to on-chain analyst Blockaid (@blockaid_), the well-known Ethereum MEV bot JaredFromSubway (@jaredsmev) has been attacked, resulting in losses of approximately $7.5 million. The attacker constructed a deceptive MEV arbitrage path to trick the bot into automatically approving token transfers. Leveraging these open approvals—before they were revoked—the attacker drained WETH, USDC, and USDT from the bot’s contract. The stolen funds ultimately flowed to the attacker’s wallet address. Blockaid noted that this attack was not a conventional phishing attempt or smart contract vulnerability, but rather a targeted exploitation of the bot’s automated execution mechanism.

Odaily, "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X, reviewing his past experiences where his investment views faced skepticism. He stated that many original investment ideas initially face strong opposition, but ultimately the market becomes the standard for judging right and wrong. He has faced significant criticism for being bullish on several companies, for example:$AXTI: Early on, it was questioned as a "scam company," and related discussions even led to a ban from Reddit's WSB forum. However, it later received coverage from Reuters, and the performance of the Indium Phosphide (InP) substrate industry company, along with institutional investor validation, confirmed its logic.$RPI: Initially labeled a "meme stock" by the market, analysts believed it lacked fundamentals. However, earnings reports showed the company's future revenue growth expectation reached 58%, and it was subsequently re-evaluated as a high-growth AI hardware company.$SIVE: Once considered a "meme stock" by numerous investors, it later gained institutional buying support, including attention from Fidelity Research, JPMorgan Chase, and others, and announced partnerships with companies like Jabil and GlobalFoundries.Serenity stated, "The market will ultimately decide what is right or wrong, not the angry comments or posts on X (formerly Twitter)." He added that as each investment thesis gets validated one by one, the eventual market performance overshadows the early noise. He also listed several other cases that were initially doubted but later gained market recognition, including:$AAOI: Near $30, management was questioned as "untrustworthy";$LITE: At $300, the photonics industry was considered to be in a bubble;$RKLB: At $20, it was dismissed as just a low-revenue launch company;$HOOD: At $20, it faced negative sentiment due to the GameStop trading restriction incident;$IQE: Considered just a small UK company lacking partnerships in the photonics field;$SOI: Analysts at a European bank considered its valuation too high;$NBIS: Questioned for having no competitive moat;$INTC: The market thought it couldn't compete with TSMC;$MRVL: The market feared its ASIC market share would be taken by Broadcom;$AEHR: The market misinterpreted its earnings report, thinking the company lacked revenue;$EWY: The market believed the South Korean semiconductor cycle was in a bubble.
According to Odaily, the privacy-focused public chain project Namada officially stated that the protocol encountered a vulnerability attack incident. The team is currently investigating and has contacted relevant parties to assist in handling the matter.Officials stated that if the operator behind this attack is a white hat hacker, they hope the individual will proactively contact the team to further understand the vulnerability and facilitate a resolution.On-chain data shows that some ATOM assets related to the incident were allegedly transferred to a Cosmos Hub network address via IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol). According to on-chain tracking information, this address received approximately 228,517 ATOM on June 18. The funds were subsequently drained within hours through IBC transfers and multiple outgoing transactions. Currently, only a small balance remains in this address.As of now, Namada has not disclosed the type of vulnerability, the attack method, or the specific scale of losses. The relevant investigation is still ongoing.
