on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on X, stating that the crypto community's demands for his investigative work are often difficult to meet.ZachXBT said that when he publishes token manipulation investigations before insiders exit, he is accused of shorting the relevant projects, such as RAVE, M, and LAB. Conversely, when he reveals findings after an incident has occurred, he is criticized for failing to provide advance warnings.He indicated that constantly facing such criticism has gradually diminished his motivation to regularly publish investigative reports publicly, as he would rather continue his work privately than bear the pressure of public opinion. ZachXBT also criticized some community members for excessively relying on his investigation results instead of conducting their own research.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 发表文章呼吁美国对前沿 AI 模型实施强制性第三方测试和安全标准，认为透明度要求已不足以应对快速进步的 AI 技术。
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has stated that if new AI models pose specific risks, governments should have the authority to prevent their deployment. In a lengthy post on Wednesday, Amodei argued that AI models should undergo mandatory third-party testing to assess potential risks across multiple domains. He wrote that if an AI is deemed to pose "unacceptable risks," then "governments should have the power to block or constrain its deployment." This is one of Amodei's strongest statements to date advocating for stricter AI regulation. "I believe that, at least during this current exponential growth phase, the most appropriate analogy is cars, airplanes, or pharmaceuticals—technologies that are essential to the modern economy but can also lead to significant loss of life if poorly designed or misused," Amodei wrote. Anthropic has previously warned that its AI model, Mythos, possesses the ability to discover and exploit critical software vulnerabilities, leading the company to restrict access to a small number of partners. This week, Anthropic also released a new version that removes related cybersecurity attack capabilities. (Jinshi)
According to an official announcement, Gate has launched a limited-time USD1 staking program offering high yields. During the campaign period, users holding USD1 in their asset accounts (minimum holding requirement: 1 USD1) can earn up to 20% annualized yield. The annualized yield rate is adjusted daily based on the remaining monthly reward budget and the platform’s total effective USD1 holdings. The updated annualized yield rate is published daily around 14:00 (UTC+8). The system takes hourly snapshots of users’ USD1 balances to calculate the average holding amount for yield calculation. Yields are distributed to users’ asset accounts the following day. According to the announcement, USD1 is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial. It is fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents, designed to maintain a stable 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar. As a regulated, reserve-backed asset, USD1 delivers the same price stability as traditional cash—on-chain and in digital form.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a notice proposing amendments to CFTC Rule 40.11 and the addition of Appendix F, and formally soliciting public comment to establish a structured assessment framework for event contracts. It is reported that the number and variety of event contracts listed by registered trading entities continue to grow—including contracts tied to sporting events—with the aim of evaluating whether such contracts involve activities enumerated in the Commodity Exchange Act (e.g., terrorism, assassination, war, gambling, or acts violating federal or state law) and determining whether they contravene the public interest. This notice of proposed rulemaking forms part of the CFTC’s Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on prediction markets, released last March, and establishes a 90-day public review period while clarifying key legal terms such as “involves” and “gambling.”

According to CoinTelegraph, blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs released a report forecasting that the on-chain prediction market’s transaction volume for Q1 2026 will reach $3.66 billion—surpassing on-chain gambling’s $1.4 billion for the first time. On-chain gambling achieved a total annual transaction volume of $5.1 billion in 2025, setting a new quarterly record of $1.5 billion in Q4 2025. TRM Labs noted that despite the broader crypto market correction, transaction volumes in both sectors showed no significant decline—largely sustained by the continued activity of loyal user bases. Regarding user composition, “high rollers” accounted for only 6.3% of individual wallets yet generated 91.8% of total transaction volume. Meanwhile, the monthly transaction volume of average bettors grew from $17 million in January 2022 to $188 million in March 2026; the transaction volume of daily gamblers increased twelvefold over the same period, indicating substantial expansion of incremental user groups. From a risk perspective, TRM Labs highlighted differing financial crime risks across the two platform types: gambling platforms face higher money laundering risks, whereas prediction markets are more likely to draw scrutiny over insider trading.

According to The Block, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) formally proposed stablecoin regulatory rules—“Authorized Payment Stablecoin Issuers”—on June 10 local time. Building upon the 2022 guidance framework (which includes core requirements such as 1:1 U.S. dollar backing, redeemability, and independent audits), the new rules introduce several additional provisions: reserve assets must be held in a diversified custodial arrangement, with a cap on concentration at any single custodian; issuers with issuance volumes exceeding $25 billion must hold an additional minimum of 0.5% of reserves (capped at $500 million) at FDIC-insured depository institutions; redemptions must be completed within two business days; and rehypothecation of reserve assets and payment of interest on reserves are prohibited. The rules explicitly align with the “substantially similar” certification standard under the federal GENIUS Act, aiming to preserve New York State’s regulatory authority over issuers with issuance volumes below $10 billion. A 10-day pre-comment period has now opened, followed by a formal 60-day public comment period. The final rules will take effect concurrently with the GENIUS Act, and currently licensed issuers will be granted a one-year compliance transition period.

The proposed rules would empower regulators to prohibit prediction contracts that are not in the public interest or pose a clear risk of manipulation—especially where a single individual could significantly influence the outcome.

Through IPO Access, Robinhood users can participate in subscribing to shares of companies about to go public. The underwriter, however, assumes a more core role, not only assisting private companies in completing the listing process but also acting as an intermediary between the issuer and investors.
