According to reports, SpaceX, the aerospace company led by Elon Musk, has attracted over $250 billion in investment demand for its IPO, surpassing its planned fundraising target of $75 billion. The offering is nearly 4 times oversubscribed, valuing the company at $1.8 trillion. Bankers and investors noted that long-term funds have submitted large orders. Pricing is expected to be finalized on Thursday, though demand figures could still change before orders are placed by major institutional investors. SpaceX's growth narrative is primarily tied to its satellite internet business, Starlink, which has become a significant source of revenue and profit for the company. SpaceX also highlighted that its artificial intelligence products address a market opportunity worth $23 trillion. Cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Bybit have listed pre-IPO perpetual futures for SPCX this month. Binance's related product has accumulated a trading volume of $2.1 billion over 18 days, covering over 130 countries. Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid recorded a trading volume of $70 million in the past 24 hours, with open interest exceeding $115 million. (Cointelegraph)
According to Cointelegraph, TapTools, a real-time Cardano analytics platform, announced it will gradually shut down over the next two weeks. Since the beginning of this year, the platform has lost two co-founders, its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and a backend developer. This exodus has resulted in a critical knowledge gap, rendering the platform unable to maintain normal operations. TapTools also cited high operational costs—including infrastructure, development, and support—as another key reason for the shutdown. The platform stated it remains open to external acquisition or financing. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson accepted partial responsibility, noting he had previously proposed an “index program” to rescue struggling projects, but the initiative failed to materialize.
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has declined approximately 40% from its all-time high in October 2025, yet long-term valuation models indicate substantial upside potential remains. Based on the “Bitcoin Decay Channel” measurement of long-term trends, Bitcoin’s conservative year-end price range has been revised upward to $90,000–$255,000, with the high-end scenario reaching as high as $255,000. This model fits a logarithmic decay trend to historical cycle highs and lows, showing that BTC prices at the peaks of the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles all approached the upper channel boundary, while bear market bottoms fell near the lower boundary. Analyst Sminston stated that Bitcoin remains within a historic, long-term upward channel and noted that the price range for 2027 could further expand to $128,000–$308,000.

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: South Korean police recently raided cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb to investigate allegations that independent lawmaker Kim Byung-gi used his influence to secure a job for his son. According to reports, Kim’s son joined Bithumb in January 2025 and worked there for about six months. Police are investigating whether external pressure or preferential treatment was involved in the hiring process. Additionally, the case has also implicated Dunamu, the operator of South Korea’s largest crypto exchange Upbit, with the investigation scope expanding from simple hiring issues to potential abuse of power and conflicts of interest.Investigators noted that during his tenure on the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee, Kim Byung-gi raised multiple inquiries against Dunamu during committee meetings, sparking external speculation that he may have been seeking benefits for the company where his son was employed.It is understood that police have previously questioned executives from several cryptocurrency firms and have conducted search and seizure operations at Bithumb’s headquarters and Bithumb Financial Tower. Kim Byung-gi himself is under investigation on 13 charges, including allegations related to job placements, bribery for nominations, and requests concerning university transfers. He has stated that he believes he will ultimately be able to prove his innocence.Notably, Bithumb has been facing sustained regulatory pressure recently. In March this year, South Korea’s financial regulator fined Bithumb approximately $24.5 million for violations related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations, and issued a six-month partial business suspension order. However, the Seoul court temporarily suspended the penalty in late April, and the relevant legal proceedings are still ongoing. (Cointelegraph)
According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase and Better Home & Finance announced they will launch a cryptocurrency-backed mortgage program in summer 2026, enabling qualified borrowers to use bitcoin (BTC) or USDC as collateral to fund down payments on mortgages backed by Fannie Mae. This initiative follows the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) directive in June 2025 instructing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to include crypto assets in mortgage risk assessments—without requiring conversion into fiat currency. Other lenders, including Newrez, have already begun adopting similar measures. However, some U.S. senators have expressed concerns that cryptocurrency price volatility could threaten housing market stability. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced the “21st Century Mortgage Act,” aiming to codify this policy into law.
: Nine Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives have called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate prediction markets, reviewing whether their advertising campaigns are consistent with the statements they make to regulators. Representatives Kevin Mullin and Gabe Vasquez stated that prediction market platforms present themselves to regulators as financial instruments offering investment products, yet advertise to the public as gambling platforms. This contradictory information could mislead consumers.The lawmakers have requested that the FTC provide a detailed response by June 29 on whether it plans to launch an investigation or take enforcement action against prediction markets. Prediction markets have recently come under scrutiny over insider trading issues, and Congress launched investigations into Polymarket and Kalshi in May. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily, Mitchell Amador, CEO of bug bounty platform Immunefi, stated at the WAIB Summit that new AI models such as Claude Opus 4.8 and ChatGPT 5.5 are shifting the balance of cybersecurity offense and defense in favor of attackers, leading to a resurgence in crypto hacks in 2026. Data from DefiLlama shows that in April 2026, illicit actors stole over $634 million from crypto platforms, the highest monthly total since the Bybit hack in February 2025 drove losses of approximately $1.4 billion.Amador stated that the crypto industry is in a critical survival period for the next three to four years until security teams leverage similar AI models to build codebases that attackers cannot breach; if the industry adopts more crowd-sourced security solutions, this timeline could be shortened to within two years. The latest Claude Mythos model, Fable 5, from AI company Anthropic, previously raised concerns about accelerating the ability to exploit crypto vulnerabilities.Anthropic stated that Fable 5 has safeguards in place that will redirect topics related to cybersecurity and similar fields to Claude Opus 4.8. On April 19, an attacker transferred approximately 116,500 restaked Ethereum (rsETH) from Kelp DAO's LayerZero-based rsETH bridge, valued at around $290 million to $293 million at the time. Cross-chain protocol LayerZero stated that the 1/1 decentralized verification network configuration of Kelp DAO relied on a single verification path for processing cross-chain messages, creating a single point of failure.

Bitcoin (BTC) has formed only the second "weekly bullish divergence" in its history on the weekly chart. This technical signal previously preceded a 715% surge in BTC following the FTX collapse. This divergence indicates that while prices are still falling, momentum indicators are starting to recover, suggesting selling pressure may be weakening. Analysis points out:1. BTC's weekly chart shows a rare bullish divergence, with a potential target around $90,000.2. The current price is holding near the 200-week moving average (approximately $62,000). Historically, this level has often served as the bottom area during bear markets (2015, 2018, 2020).3. The previous weekly divergence occurred after the FTX collapse in 2022, after which Bitcoin rallied from around $15,500 to $126,200, a gain of 715%.Technical analysis shows that BTC's weekly RSI has recovered from oversold territory to form a higher low, while the price continues to decline, constituting a bullish divergence signal. Analysts suggest that if BTC breaks through the $64,000-$65,000 range, it could first target $71,500-$73,000, and potentially reach the CME gap at $79,000. The area around the 50-week moving average, approximately $91,755, is seen as the next potential resistance level, while the region above $90,000 also represents long-term resistance.Despite the bullish signal, Bitcoin remains in a weekly bear flag downtrend. If it breaks below the descending channel, the price could fall back to around $50,000 in the short term, unless it reclaims the lower trendline to form support. Overall, BTC is at a critical technical juncture with both bullish and bearish factors at play. Investors need to monitor the dynamic interplay between support at the 200-week moving average and resistance at the 50-week moving average. (Cointelegraph)
According to Cointelegraph, U.S. money market fund assets have surpassed $8.28 trillion, setting a new record high, with weekly inflows reaching as high as $66 billion. Markets widely expect the Federal Reserve may hike interest rates again, and risk-averse sentiment is driving continued capital inflows.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net capital outflows for nine consecutive trading days, totaling approximately $2.84 billion. This marks the longest consecutive losing streak since the product's launch in 2024, surpassing the previous record set on February 8, 2025. BlackRock's IBIT was the primary source of these outflows.Analysts indicate that this round of capital outflows reflects a notable cooling in institutional demand for Bitcoin ETF exposure. Meanwhile, the market is showing signs of divergence: Hyperliquid-related ETFs and certain XRP spot ETFs continue to record capital inflows. In contrast, spot Ethereum ETFs have also faced capital outflows for 13 consecutive days, with cumulative outflows reaching approximately $694 million. This suggests that capital within crypto asset ETFs is undergoing a reallocation. (Cointelegraph)
According to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity leaders led by former Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos jointly penned a letter urging the Trump administration to lift restrictions on the use of Anthropic’s Mythos model.

Odaily Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox posted on X stating that a security audit conducted by Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model did not find any "more severe vulnerabilities" in the Zcash protocol. The audit was commissioned by Shielded Labs, a Swiss non-profit organization supporting Zcash development. On June 3, Zcash developers temporarily paused Orchard transactions after discovering a vulnerability in the shielded pool, restoring functionality through an emergency upgrade the same day. The issue stemmed from a four-year-old forging vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool, identified by security researcher Taylor Hornby with the assistance of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 model. The Zcash Foundation stated there is no evidence that the vulnerability was exploited, nor was any unauthorized value creation detected, and user privacy remained unaffected.Anthropic released the first public version of the Claude Mythos model, Fable 5, on Tuesday, and stated on Friday that it has suspended access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models due to export control directives issued by the U.S. government citing national security concerns.

According to Cointelegraph, on June 13 local time, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a federal lawsuit against the Governor, Attorney General, and members of the New Mexico Gaming Control Board, seeking to block the state from applying its gaming laws to CFTC-registered contract markets. Earlier, on June 4, New Mexico sued prediction market platform Kalshi, accusing it of offering sports betting services to residents without proper licensing and allowing users aged 18 to 20 to access the platform—below the state’s legal gambling age of 21. The CFTC contends that the relevant contracts fall under the definition of “swaps” under federal commodity law, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over such contract markets. New Mexico is the eighth state against which the CFTC has filed suit over jurisdictional disputes concerning prediction markets; prior lawsuits have been brought against Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois.
