According to iGB, the Curacao Gaming Authority (CGA) has officially released its Cryptocurrency Policy Guidelines for B2C online gambling licensees, requiring all group entities involved in cryptocurrency transactions to comply with global Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) frameworks, with a phased implementation deadline extended to mid-2027. Key requirements include: licensees may only accept cryptocurrencies for gambling purposes and must not act as exchanges, custodians, or Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs); mandatory deployment of blockchain analytics capabilities for wallet risk scoring and transaction monitoring; preference for fiat-backed stablecoins, while privacy coins, meme coins, and wrapped tokens with unclear provenance must be assessed or excluded; player, operational, and treasury wallets must be strictly segregated, with personal or UBO-associated wallets prohibited; funds linked to mixers, tumblers, or sanctioned addresses are strictly prohibited. Regarding the compliance timeline, operators must submit their cryptocurrency compliance policy to the CGA within three months, complete risk assessments and staff training within six months, and achieve full compliance—including wallet segregation, on-chain analytics deployment, and audit log maintenance—within 12 months (i.e., by June 2027). The CGA also reserves the right to require accelerated compliance in the event of material risk.
According to PYMNTS, on June 22, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a proposed rulemaking requiring payment stablecoin issuers (PPSIs) under its supervision to comply with provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and the GENIUS Act, and mandating that they implement anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs, sanctions programs, and reporting requirements administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The rule would also establish an OCC supervisory and enforcement framework for PPSIs’ AML/CFT obligations and clarify coordination mechanisms between the OCC and FinCEN in enforcement actions. Previously, the OCC had jointly sought public comment with the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) regarding requirements for stablecoin issuers to establish customer identification programs.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Lee Chan-jin, Governor of Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), stated at a press briefing on June 22 that the launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs tracking Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix had yielded poor results and generated excessive side effects—causing him deep personal regret—and acknowledged that the policy had effectively failed. He pointed out that the extremely high trading turnover rates of these products enabled securities firms to collect massive commissions while delivering no substantive returns to investors; the highest turnover rate approached 200%, allowing securities firms to earn up to 10 trillion Korean won in transaction fees. Meanwhile, he expressed serious concern over the ongoing expansion of leveraged investment in the market and the extreme concentration of trading in semiconductor stocks, emphasizing that the FSS would consult with relevant policy authorities to introduce, in phases, safeguards targeting margin financing. Additionally, regarding Future Asset Securities’ zero-allocation policy for the SpaceX public stock offering, he remarked it was “difficult to understand.” The FSS has launched an on-site inspection of Korea Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., and will conduct a compliance review of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd.
Bitcoin has dropped approximately 40% since Strategy launched its Bitcoin financing instrument, STRC, which has now fallen below its $100 issuance par value. This has sparked market debate over the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “flywheel” model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but its purchase pace has notably slowed recently. Data shows that during the week ending June 8, the company added 1,550 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. The following week, ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC, valued at about $100 million. In contrast, during a single week in April 2026, the firm bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decline in its recent capital deployment.Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. While minimal relative to its total holdings, the market views this as a sign that cash flow pressures could intensify if STRC’s funding efficiency declines. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock instrument trading near its $100 par value, using dividend adjustments to attract investors and help Strategy raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. STRC has now fallen to historic lows, once dropping to $82.53 before closing at $88.59—roughly 13% below par value.Critics argue that STRC’s dip below par indicates mounting pressure on Strategy’s funding channels. Peter Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, labeled STRC “a typical centralized Ponzi scheme,” claiming the model relies on continuous financing or Bitcoin sales to sustain itself. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC’s recent performance, describing its trading behavior as resembling a “Ponzi scheme.”However, some analysts believe STRC’s decline is more due to leverage liquidations than a fundamental deterioration of Strategy. STRC had long traded around $99 to $100, attracting leveraged traders. When the price broke below a key level, forced liquidations were triggered, exacerbating the drop.Analyst Scott Melker noted that STRC’s current yield has actually improved due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on the $100 liquidation preference, at an STRC price of $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend translates to an actual yield of about 12.8%. If the price falls to $85, the yield could exceed 13%.Strategy is expected to announce its next STRC dividend adjustment by June 30. The market is now focused on whether the STRC discount will persist and whether Strategy’s model of using capital market financing to continuously accumulate BTC can remain stable. (Cointelegraph)
According to CNBC, after listing on the Nasdaq at an approximate valuation of $2.6 trillion, SpaceX quickly became the world’s fifth-largest publicly traded company and entered a market-cap ranking race with Amazon. However, pricing in the options market suggests it may take considerable time for SpaceX to climb into the global top three—or even claim the No. 1 spot. Currently, SpaceX’s market capitalization remains significantly below that of third-place Alphabet and second-place Apple—both valued above $4.4 trillion. To overtake them and become the world’s second-largest company by market cap (just behind NVIDIA), SpaceX’s stock price would need to rise roughly 70% to $340 per share. Based on implied probability models derived from options-market pricing, the likelihood that SpaceX reaches this target price before July 2028 stands at approximately 50%. If the goal is to become the world’s largest company by market cap—surpassing NVIDIA—the options market assigns a roughly 38% probability of achieving this by June 2028, rising to about 41% by year-end 2028. Analysts note that options prices reflect the collective market expectation regarding future trajectories. Higher-strike options carry an elevated uncertainty premium, indicating that—even though SpaceX possesses a compelling long-term growth narrative—reaching the pinnacle of market capitalization is still viewed as a high-difficulty, long-duration endeavor.
Odaily Odaily News Rodney "Bitcoin Rodney" Burton, a resident of Miami, Florida, has pleaded guilty in federal court to participating in a cryptocurrency fraud scheme related to HyperFund, which involved approximately $1.8 billion.According to federal prosecutors in Maryland, Burton admitted to "conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business."

Odaily Seer Channel monitoring shows that the probability on Polymarket for "Will Anthropic's valuation reach $1.1 trillion before June 30" has risen to 67%, up 30% in 24 hours.This event will be settled based on Anthropic's private market valuation data released by Nasdaq Private Market (NPM). If Anthropic's NPM Price reaches or exceeds the specified amount between the market creation and June 30, 2026, the event will be settled as "Yes"; otherwise, it will be settled as "No".Anthropic's latest funding round was completed on May 28, achieving a post-money valuation of $965 billion after its $65 billion Series H round, just one step away from common short-term thresholds like $1 trillion. With this prediction market set to settle on June 30, traders are monitoring secondary market liquidity and whether any new primary financing or tender offer activity could push its implied valuation higher within the remaining window. Recent estimates show Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate is approaching $47 billion, continuing to support investor demand. However, no new funding announcements have emerged since late May, and IPO preparations remain longer-term.Odaily Seer Channel continues to follow prediction markets, seeing changes before pricing.
OdailyOdaily reported that after SpaceX was listed on Nasdaq last Friday at a valuation of over $1.7 trillion, trading volume surged for the SpaceX-related HIP-3 perpetual contract SPCX on Hyperliquid. Data shows that the xyz:SPCX trading pair reached a daily turnover of $1.4 billion, accounting for 30% of all HIP-3 trading volume that day.In comparison, during the three weeks before the SpaceX IPO, the average daily trading volume of xyz:SPCX was only about $26 million, indicating that the IPO event significantly amplified trading activity for on-chain equity-linked derivatives.Looking at the broader HIP-3 ecosystem, the cumulative turnover for equity-linked perpetual contracts in the first half of June has already exceeded $18.8 billion, significantly higher than the combined $7.66 billion for crude oil and Brent crude oil perpetual contracts.This suggests that as highly anticipated stocks like SpaceX enter the on-chain trading arena, platforms such as Hyperliquid are becoming key gateways for crypto users to gain exposure to traditional assets, with activity in equity perpetual contracts already surpassing that of some traditional commodity markets.
