Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, announced that Bitget’s new product, RealityFi (@RealityFi_xyz), directly connects to licensed broker-dealers registered with FINRA and members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). This enables orders to flow straight into the native order books of NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), fundamentally resolving the liquidity fragmentation and severe slippage issues plaguing existing tokenized U.S. equities products—and delivering “what you see is what you get” execution prices. The product supports 24×5 trading hours, with plans to expand to 24×7 continuous trading. Pre-market and after-hours liquidity matches that of established brokers, utilizing compliant off-market channels. RealityFi is a pure spot product—offering no leverage and zero liquidation risk. In its initial phase, over 30 U.S. equity tokens will be listed, scaling to more than 100 within one to two weeks. These will include popular stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA, as well as major index ETFs like SPY and QQQ. The corresponding rTokens will begin rolling out in early June.
Bloomberg has revealed the preliminary appearance of Apple's new digital assistant, which is the highly anticipated major Siri overhaul. It is expected to become a core highlight of the next-generation software updates for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The illustration showcases a refreshed Siri interface, a brand-new chatbot-style application, and other significant changes to iOS 27 that Apple plans to announce at the "Worldwide Developers Conference" (WWDC) on June 8.This release is expected to mark a key turning point in Apple's artificial intelligence strategy, as the company races to catch up with competitors such as OpenAI, Google, and Samsung Electronics. Apple has redesigned Siri for the iPhone hardware, embedding it within the "Dynamic Island" to function as an "always-on" intelligent assistant. This assistant helps users efficiently manage tasks across the entire operating system and within various applications. The system can integrate web data, personal information, and content currently displayed on the screen to assist users in completing various tasks.
Vitalik Buterin updated several developments related to CROPS AI and noted a clear overlap between the “CROPS Ethereum Access Layer” and “CROPS AI.” He suggested that paying for remote large language model (LLM) calls via zero-knowledge proofs could also address Ethereum’s private RPC read issues. Meanwhile, DeepSeek v4 has been released; its 2-bit quantized version runs within 90 GB, though it currently performs faster on Apple hardware; the messaging app Messa now supports Telegram Alpha features; the model runtime tool Luceb demonstrates higher efficiency when running compute-intensive models; and the local AI voice recording tool VoxTerm remains under active development. Vitalik Buterin also mentioned that application-specific fine-tuned large language models will help improve secure code writing, and Ethereum-related use cases should likewise have dedicated fine-tuned models.
Adam Hollander, Chief Marketing Officer of OpenSea, stated that the next cycle of NFTs could look very different from the speculative frenzy of 2022, which saw over $1.6 billion in trading volume. Speaking to The Block at Consensus Miami, Hollander noted that it "makes perfect sense" to put assets like collectible cards, luxury watches, and digital tickets on-chain for trading, and that these could be the core drivers of a new wave of NFTs.Adam Hollander emphasized that although avatar-based NFTs like Bored Apes and CryptoPunks have experienced a value crash, NFT technology still has potential to prove ownership of both digital and physical assets. He believes the previous NFT boom relied too heavily on speculation, with buyers treating NFTs more like a digital casino rather than focusing on their technology and real-world value. The future application of NFTs will be driven by actual demand for collectibles, in-game items, AI tools, and more. The development of artificial intelligence will also lower the barrier to creating digital art, animations, and games, thereby accelerating NFT adoption.Regarding platform development, OpenSea is working to build an ecosystem that allows users to manage all their crypto assets and NFTs across different wallets and chains, while optimizing the user experience. This includes simplifying the onboarding process, supporting Apple Pay-like fiat payments, and displaying NFT prices in US dollars. When asked about the delay in launching the much-anticipated SEA token, Hollander stated that the decision lies with the OpenSea Foundation, and he personally has no further information on the timeline. He emphasized that if the token were merely an "airdrop meme coin," it would not create value for users. (The Block)

According to Cointelegraph, cryptography firm Succinct has launched Zcam, an iPhone camera app that enables real-time cryptographic signing of photos and videos upon capture, thereby verifying content authenticity and reducing risks associated with AI-generated or tampered content. The app hashes the original image data and signs it using a key generated within Apple’s Secure Enclave, then embeds the signature, capture metadata, and attestation information into the file in accordance with the C2PA standard. Succinct states that Zcam can be applied in scenarios such as journalism, insurance claims, and identity verification; however, its SDK has not yet undergone security audit and is not production-ready.
