Spanish football club Club Atlético Osasuna has recently become embroiled in a controversy surrounding the prediction market platform Kalshi. Earlier market reports indicated that a Kalshi contract associated with the club saw a rapid surge in trading volume, reaching approximately $591,600. The market predicted the club's potential relegation from La Liga in the 2025-2026 season, sparking speculation that the club might be using "reverse betting" to hedge against the revenue risk of relegation.In response, Osasuna publicly denied any direct participation in predictive market transactions, emphasizing that it "has never placed a bet on Kalshi or any similar platform." The club also confirmed it had purchased approximately €1.2 million in relegation risk insurance through brokerage firm Howden. Kalshi, for its part, stated that the event is more akin to the redistribution of traditional insurance risk within a prediction market: the insurance broker bears the hedging risk, rather than the club directly engaging in transactions, describing the structure as functionally similar to a reinsurance mechanism.Notably, despite suffering a loss in a crucial match, Osasuna ultimately managed to avoid relegation as its rivals failed to surpass them in points.The incident has also sparked debate over the boundaries of prediction market use cases: it is evolving from a speculative tool into a real-world risk hedging instrument, potentially playing an "insurance-like" role in sports finance.Meanwhile, the Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs has launched a regulatory investigation into Kalshi and Polymarket, demanding the temporary blocking of the relevant platforms for operating without a license. However, officials emphasized that this action is not directly related to the Osasuna incident. (Fortune)

sources say NVIDIA has begun pitching its first independent central processing unit (CPU) product, Vera, to Chinese clients. Designed specifically for Agentic AI systems, the chip has entered mass production, marking NVIDIA's attempt to further expand its presence in the Chinese market with a CPU offering.According to sources, some Chinese clients have already shown interest in Vera. One major Chinese cloud computing company plans to procure over 300 servers equipped with dual Vera CPUs for testing, and will decide whether to expand procurement after the tests are completed.Built on the Arm Holdings architecture, Vera is NVIDIA's first independent CPU product. NVIDIA has previously stated that Vera's performance in AI agent-related computing tasks is 1.8 times that of comparable competitor products, and expects the product to contribute approximately $20 billion in revenue by the end of this fiscal year (ending January next year).The report notes that as the AI industry's focus gradually shifts from model training to inference computing, CPUs and custom chips are gaining more attention. Vera also positions NVIDIA to directly compete with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have long dominated the server CPU market.Sources indicate that due to strict U.S. export restrictions on high-end GPUs, CPUs face relatively smaller regulatory hurdles in the Chinese market compared to GPU products. Currently, some Chinese clients plan to first deploy Vera chips for testing in overseas data centers. Meanwhile, software ecosystem compatibility and existing domestic AI chip deployment frameworks may still impact the subsequent large-scale adoption of Vera. (Reuters)
a16z Crypto published an article explaining its investment in Digital Asset. It stated that the three major obstacles previously hindering institutional adoption of crypto technology included blockchain performance, regulatory uncertainty, and privacy concerns. Now, the blockchain performance issue has been largely resolved, with L1 and L2 networks possessing the scale, speed, and complexity to meet institutional needs; the US GENIUS Act has taken effect, addressing the regulatory issue.a16z Crypto believes that traditional public chains make transaction information public by default. While this facilitates verification, institutional financial transactions require capabilities such as selective disclosure, compliance requirements, and multi-party collaboration. For example, when banks conduct treasury bond transactions or repo transactions, the transacting parties need to share information but should not expose positions, counterparties, and transaction sizes to all network participants. Therefore, privacy remains the core challenge for institutions entering the chain. Most blockchain projects attempt to adapt institutions to the crypto system, whereas Digital Asset chooses to adapt crypto technology to institutional needs. Mature privacy technology has also become a key breakthrough for attracting institutional entry.
Odaily Odaily, former CFTC and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has filed an amicus brief with the Court of Appeals, arguing that federal law does not grant his former agency, the CFTC, the authority to regulate sports-related prediction markets.

law enforcement agencies from 11 countries have jointly shut down the money laundering network AudiA6, which processed over 336 million euros in illicit funds between 2022 and 2025. On June 10, law enforcement arrested two administrators of Russian and Ukrainian nationality in Georgia, seized 25 domain names, over 30 servers, and 80 vehicles, and froze approximately 778,000 euros in cryptocurrency. Operating as a "mixer-as-a-service," AudiA6 provided services to cybercriminals involved in ransomware attacks, helping them cash out crypto assets and conceal the flow of funds, charging commissions of 3% to 10% and claiming to complete the "cleaning" process within about an hour.Since 2021, the AudiA6 wallet has received approximately 10,333 BTC, valued at around $389 million at the time of the transactions. The investigation also revealed that the money laundering network used thousands of fake accounts created with stolen or purchased identities, involving over 6,000 KYC records; many of these accounts were linked to Russian-speaking intermediaries and were used to transfer criminal proceeds through cryptocurrency exchanges. The clearnet and darknet domains of AudiA6 and Dark2Web have been replaced with seizure banners. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News, Jack Mallers, founder of Strike and CEO of Twenty One Capital, stated that Bitcoin’s drop below $63,000 is not merely a sentiment issue but a reflection of the reality of insufficient liquidity in the global financial system.Mallers believes that while U.S. consumer confidence is at historic lows, the S&P 500 remains at all-time highs, indicating that traditional stock market signals have been distorted by policy intervention. In contrast, Bitcoin, as a 24/7 trading asset, more closely mirrors the true conditions of global liquidity and market stress.He emphasized that during periods of liquidity tightening, investors often "sell what they can, not what they want." Therefore, Bitcoin's decline may not signify a collapse of long-term conviction but rather forced selling under capital pressure.Additionally, Mallers questioned Strategy's perpetual preferred stock financing structure, suggesting it could place the company in a capital structure dilemma when liquidity is needed in the future, forcing trade-offs among different stakeholders.

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new prediction event for the opening price range of SpaceX (ticker: SPCX) on its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.SpaceX is scheduled to officially list on Nasdaq on June 12 (U.S. time). According to its compliance filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in early June, the official IPO price has been set at $135 per share, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. Although the offering price has been determined, institutional oversubscription orders are reportedly exceeding $10 billion, fueling market expectations for a premium from the "first-day pop." However, given the high valuation multiple of 90 times price-to-sales and intense competition in the rocket launch market, the first-day opening premium may be relatively moderate. Under the event's settlement rules, the market will strictly settle based on the official opening price of SpaceX on its first trading day on the primary exchange. If the final opening price falls exactly at the boundary between two ranges, the higher range will be used for settlement.Odaily Seer remains focused on prediction markets.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated in its latest annual assessment of Nepal that, despite Nepal’s comprehensive ban on cryptocurrency transactions and mining since 2021, inflows of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins grew rapidly between 2019 and 2024—peaking at over 13% of GDP in 2021 and rebounding to approximately 8% in 2024, with cross-border flows amounting to roughly 5% of GDP. The IMF recommends that Nepal establish a cryptocurrency regulatory framework aligned with international standards, strengthen monitoring of stablecoins and unbacked crypto assets to prevent circumvention of capital controls and large-scale deposit outflows, and urges Nepal to complete the FATF action plan and exit the “gray list.”
