Ansem: Meme coins are capturing internet attention; the next phase requires exploring long-term value
Ansem posted on X platform, stating that Meme coins like Dogecoin attract a large number of buyers because they bring in investors who would not normally participate in the stock market. These individuals may not purchase traditional financial assets, but they are willing to buy Meme coins associated with familiar figures and tokens tied to their own internet cultural identity. At the same time, when a Meme coin becomes large enough and sufficiently liquid, it also attracts participation from major funds and trading institutions. Ansem also noted that older generations of investors dislike Meme coins because they cannot understand the strong connection younger generations have with internet memes, culture, and content. However, the crypto industry is unique because tokenization is one of the few ways people can invest and speculate on these socio-cultural trends. The real breakthrough in the next phase lies in how to channel the attention and capital momentum brought by retail speculators into assets that not only rely on Meme hype but also generate long-term value.

Musk says "most cryptocurrencies are scams" during OpenAI trial testimony, drawing market attention once again
during his trial testimony against OpenAI, Elon Musk stated, “Some cryptocurrency has value, but most of it is a scam.” The remarks came during cross-examination at the Oakland, California court, where the case involved OpenAI’s early consideration of raising funds through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering).According to reports, Musk’s response to relevant questions during the trial pointed to widespread speculation and fraudulent activities in the crypto asset space, drawing market attention.Notably, Musk’s stance on the crypto market has long shown significant volatility: during the 2021 bull market, he pushed Tesla to purchase approximately $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin and publicly mentioned Dogecoin on multiple occasions, driving substantial price surges for related assets. However, Tesla reduced its Bitcoin holdings by 75% in 2022 and booked an impairment loss of approximately $222 million on its remaining holdings in the first quarter of 2026. According to the latest financial report, it still holds approximately 11,509 Bitcoins, with a book value of around $786 million. (Fortune)
Musk: AI Could Surpass Total Human Intelligence Within 5 Years, Admits to “Getting Carried Away” with Politics
Elon Musk recently gave an interview to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, discussing topics including super-intelligent AI, politics, and AI regulation.Musk predicted that artificial intelligence would surpass the combined intelligence of all human beings within the next 5 years or so, stating that AI would then outperform humans in almost every field, except for “being human itself.” He believes AI has the potential to bring about an “unprecedented era of abundance,” allowing people to obtain almost anything they desire.Regarding AI risks, Musk reiterated his previous assessment that there is roughly a 10% to 20% probability of AI leading to human extinction. However, he noted that as the development of AI and robotics technology has become irreversible, he has accepted this reality. He described his current attitude as “enjoying the ride,” adding that even if a “pause button” existed, it might not necessarily be pushed.Musk admitted he has been “a bit too invested in politics, even a little carried away.” Nevertheless, he defended his previous work pushing for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut fiscal spending, stating that his goal was to reduce government waste and fraudulent expenditures.On AI governance, Musk suggested that major AI labs such as OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic should hold regular safety meetings to mutually assess potential risks before releasing new models. He believes that competitors are better positioned than governments to identify problems in each other's models.Additionally, Musk once again criticized OpenAI for transitioning from a non-profit organization to a closed-source for-profit company, and reiterated his dissatisfaction with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. At the same time, he praised Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, calling him “a man of great principle,” and stated that if necessary, AI companies should “put aside personal grievances and cooperate for the good of the world.”During the interview, Musk also insisted that budget cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “did not cause any deaths” and denied related criticisms, prompting questions from the interviewer.

SEC Launches ETF Rule Review, Focusing on Crypto Funds and Prediction Market ETFs
the U.S. SEC stated on Tuesday that it is publicly seeking comments on the regulatory approach for "novel ETFs," evaluating whether existing fund registration and listing processes need adjustments. This review comes amid the rapid expansion of crypto ETFs and an increase in applications for prediction market-related ETFs.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the regulator wants to hear market opinions to ensure that the U.S. ETF market can effectively serve investors while continuing to grow and innovate. Since Atkins took over as SEC Chairman in April 2025, the SEC has approved multiple crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including products tracking assets like SOL and DOGE.Currently, market attention is shifting towards prediction market ETFs linked to political and economic outcomes. The SEC has not yet approved such funds for listing and trading and has delayed several related applications. Atkins previously stated that the SEC will evaluate these products in a "transparent and prudent" manner.In this request for comment, the SEC is asking whether a standardized listing framework should be established for ETFs meeting specific criteria and whether certain novel ETFs need to register as investment companies. TD Cowen analysts believe that this request for comment could potentially lead to rule changes as early as 2027, allowing the SEC to permit a wider range of ETF types, including products based on event contracts, crypto assets, and single-stock strategies.

the actively managed crypto ETF launched by T. Rowe Price was approved by the U.S. SEC on June 12, 2026, marking a key step toward its listing on NYSE Arca.

Ansem responds to the "creator token" controversy: Misjudged trust assumptions, but will explore "positive crypto attention mechanism"
Ansem posted on X, stating that his past judgments regarding celebrity participation in crypto projects were overly idealistic. He had assumed they would not "rug" millions of supporters, but this assumption has been proven wrong by reality, and he stated he will not make the same judgment error in the future.However, Ansem emphasized that he is not a celebrity himself and has no intention of exiting a project improperly. He believes that Meme and narrative-based tokens may still play a "net positive" role in the crypto market, including attracting new users into the industry, providing speculative liquidity for the market, and reactivating market sentiment during bear market bottoms.Using Dogecoin and Bonk as examples, he stated that such assets have brought large-scale user adoption and wealth effects in different cycles. Dogecoin's market cap once reached $11 billion, while Bonk helped revive sentiment within the Solana ecosystem during the低迷 period following the FTX collapse.Ansem also mentioned that he entered the crypto industry in 2017, quit his job as a software engineer in 2021, and is currently co-founding the trading application BullpenFi while hosting the podcast project MarketBubble. He noted that he has participated in discussions on multiple Meme coins in the past, but often encountered anonymous accounts using liquidity structures to front-run and then "dump" on the opposite side, making him a tool for attention. He emphasized that his current project is the first time he is participating with "control over the majority of the token supply" and stated that he will attempt to find a balance between market attention and industry building.
