Odaily Planet Daily reports that "on-chain detective" ZachXBT released a case analysis stating that in a crypto asset case involving an Indian fraud gang, the individuals involved reported themselves to law enforcement after their assets were frozen, drawing attention.The incident began when a user sought help from ZachXBT, claiming that approximately 5.73 BTC (about $475,000) was frozen on Changelly in March 2025. Subsequent on-chain analysis revealed that these funds could be traced back to multiple social engineering attacks targeting US users and Bitcoin ATM-related thefts, with cumulative losses exceeding $1 million and involving several elderly victims.Investigations showed that the individual provided multiple different explanations for the source of the funds, including "loans," "transfers from the boss," and "investments from 2014–2015," with clear contradictions in the chain of evidence.More notably, the user filed a police report in India in December 2025 attempting to recover the frozen funds (case number 3207-P/2025). Subsequent on-chain forensics and email data analysis indicated that the individual may have acted as a money "mule," with some bank documents inconsistent with their identity information.ZachXBT stated that such cases demonstrate that social engineering attacks and cross-border fund transfers continue to occur, reminding users to avoid interacting with funds from suspicious sources to prevent triggering compliance freezes or legal risks.

Monitoring by Odaily Seer Prophet Channel shows that the probability of "Claude Fable 5 restored for US customers before July 1" on Polymarket has risen to 73%, up 33% in 24H.If Anthropic reopens Claude Fable 5 (or Claude Mythos, or a version confirmed to be the same model) to the US public before the specified date, this event will settle as "Yes"; otherwise, it will settle as "No". Qualifying methods of restoration include public beta or public waitlist; closed testing and private access do not count. Other models such as Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus are not included by default unless they are confirmed to be the same model as Claude Fable 5. Settlement will primarily be based on official announcements from Anthropic, supplemented by consensus reports from mainstream media.Due to export controls imposed by the US government on national security grounds, Anthropic urgently suspended global access to the Claude Fable 5 model just days after its release on June 9. Although the restrictions were primarily aimed at foreign users, due to the difficulty of real-time user identity screening, Anthropic ultimately closed access for all users, including those in the US, and switched requests to less capable models such as Opus 4.8. Anthropic is currently engaged in high-level discussions with the White House on issues including model capabilities and potential jailbreak risks. The company has publicly stated that the ban may have stemmed from a misunderstanding and is actively pushing to restore access.Odaily Seer Prophet Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before they are priced in.

Odaily Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and its Chairman Michael Selig in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, concerning the agency's routine approval of cryptocurrency perpetual futures. The lawsuit stems from the CFTC’s May 29 approval of a perpetual futures contract linked to the spot price of Bitcoin by prediction market platform Kalshi, and the issuance of a no-action position for a similar product on the Coinbase exchange. In the filing, CME argues that the CFTC's treatment of "futures" with expiration dates as "swaps" violates directives from the U.S. Congress and the Commodity Exchange Act, and requests the court to invalidate the relevant perpetual futures actions. CME also claims that Selig acted unilaterally without a full panel of five commissioners. A CFTC spokesperson stated that CME is waging a "legal battle" against the agency and the government’s crypto policy, calling the lawsuit "frivolous." Kraken has also announced the launch of perpetual futures trading for U.S. users via the CFTC-regulated platform Bitnomial.
