Odaily ARK Invest stated that SpaceX's upcoming IPO could become a historic capital markets event, with the company's overall valuation potentially approaching the $2 trillion level. Brett Winton, Head of Portfolio and Research at ARK, said on CNBC that SpaceX's IPO is priced at approximately $135 per share, corresponding to a valuation of around $1.77 trillion, and plans to list on Nasdaq on June 12.Winton pointed out that SpaceX's core value comes not only from its rocket launch business but more so from its rapidly expanding satellite internet network, Starlink. This network currently has a bandwidth capacity of approximately 500 Tbps, generating an annual revenue of around $13 billion. It is expected to significantly reduce launch costs with the Starship rocket, accelerating satellite deployment and network expansion. He believes that as AI applications proliferate rapidly, the demand for global communication and computing infrastructure will further increase, positioning SpaceX as a key infrastructure provider in this trend. ARK also estimates that the AI foundation model industry could create between $15 trillion and $20 trillion in enterprise value by 2030.Currently, ARK holds approximately 11.4% of SpaceX's private shares through its venture capital strategy and considers it one of its core long-term holdings. The fund has risen about 15% so far this year, with gains exceeding 70% over the past 12 months. (CNBC)
: The Zcash Foundation has released version 4.5.0 of its node client, Zebra. This update includes multiple security fixes, addressing a critical consensus vulnerability and several high-severity Denial of Service (DoS) issues. All node operators are strongly urged to upgrade immediately.Key fixes in this release include a sigop counting error in P2SH script parsing (which could cause a consensus fork with zcashd), a logic flaw in NU5 block validation caching, a crash risk related to transparent address balance overflow, along with multiple crash and resource exhaustion vulnerabilities in RPC interfaces and mempool processing. The Foundation stated that some vulnerabilities could be exploited by malicious nodes, leading to node stalls, restart loops, or even permanent stoppage.Additionally, this version adds support for ZIP-213 (enabling shielded coinbase outputs to Sapling) and optimizes network performance and security boundaries. This includes limiting resource allocation during the pre-handshake phase, fixing risks related to multi-threaded queue abuse, and enhancing the misbehavior scoring mechanism.The Zcash Foundation stated that this update addresses over 80 security reports from the ZCG Vulnerability Disclosure Program (spanning April to May 2026), covering multiple layers including consensus security, memory management, RPC processing, and the P2P network attack surface. Officials emphasized that there is no alternative to this upgrade; upgrading is the only way to ensure nodes do not experience a chain split and remain secure.
SUPERFORTUNE AI released a 24-hour investigation update stating that the May 27 GUA security incident was not, as previously suspected, address poisoning—but rather resulted from the leakage of private keys belonging to multi-signature signers. The attacker then forged valid signatures pointing to a malicious address and exploited the “premium address” feature—where the malicious address shared the same first four and last four characters as the legitimate address—to mislead the remaining signers into completing the signing process via the Safe interface.
during a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing, substantial progress was achieved in advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). The bill passed with a 15-9 vote, moving to the full Senate for consideration.Several bipartisan lawmakers emphasized during the discussions that the United States urgently needs to establish a unified regulatory framework for digital assets, clarifying asset classification, trading platform oversight, and market structure rules to provide long-term certainty for the industry. Angela Alsobrooks pointed out from a family perspective that younger generations show a natural interest in digital assets, and the regulatory system should strike a balance between "opportunity and protection" to prevent technological development from escaping regulatory oversight. Tim Scott stressed the need to advance legislation from the standpoint of economic opportunity and the American Dream, while Cynthia Lummis noted that the legislative process has already demonstrated a clear foundation for bipartisan cooperation.Supporters argue that digital assets have become an irreversible trend, with approximately 68 million Americans currently holding related assets. However, a significant volume of transactions still occur on overseas platforms, underscoring the urgent need for the U.S. to establish a domestic regulatory framework to enhance market transparency and investor protection. Analysts point out that the CLARITY Act is seen as a crucial complement following stablecoin-related legislation (the GENIUS Act). Without supporting rules at the market structure level, the U.S. risks losing its dominant position in the competition for digital financial infrastructure.As the bill advances to the full Senate, observers are closely watching whether it can complete final legislation based on bipartisan consensus, thereby establishing the core rules of the U.S. digital asset regulatory framework.

Vitalik published an article titled “A Shallow Dive into Formal Verification,” introducing recent progress in applying formal verification to Ethereum’s cutting-edge research and development. The article states that developers can write code in Lean, EVM bytecode, or assembly language and verify its correctness via mathematically rigorous proofs that can be automatically checked—thereby improving both code efficiency and security. He notes that formal verification is especially suitable for complex yet well-defined-security systems such as STARKs, Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus, ZK-EVMs, and post-quantum signatures, and mentions related projects including Arklib, VCV-io, and evm-asm. The article also emphasizes that formal verification is not a panacea: it remains subject to limitations such as incorrect specification definitions, unverified code paths, hardware-level constraints, and side-channel attacks.
Bitget Wallet has announced the launch of its API management platform, now available free of charge to developers and institutional clients worldwide.

Polish Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty announced the parliament has officially begun deliberations on four competing bills for crypto asset regulation, following President Karol Nawrocki's two vetoes of related legislation. The review involves legislative proposals from the government, the Presidential Office, the Poland 2050 party, and the Confederation party, with the second reading vote expected on Thursday. Key disagreements center on the scope of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority's (KNF) power to freeze accounts and the maximum penalties for violations. The president's draft sets a maximum fine of approximately 20 million zloty (about $5.5 million), while the Treasury's version raises it to 25 million zloty (about $6.9 million).Meanwhile, the opposition Law and Justice party (PiS), after withdrawing support for an earlier regulatory proposal, submitted a separate bill on Monday advocating for a complete ban on crypto asset-related activities in Poland, further complicating the regulatory debate. Speaker Czarzasty stated that the PiS ban draft will enter the deliberation process only after the four main regulatory bills are completed, and questioned the links between crypto industry funds and political activities, specifically naming potential political funders including zondacrypto.

crypto research institution Delphi Digital has released its latest report, "How Far Can Saylor Stretch It," providing a systematic analysis of Strategy's Bitcoin (BTC) capital expansion mechanism. It indicates that the company's financing structure is transitioning from a phase of "low-cost accumulation" into one of "diminishing marginal efficiency."The report shows that within the current asset accumulation system centered on Bitcoin, STRC has become the core financing tool for Strategy's continued BTC purchases. Initially, the company relied on a significant premium in MSTR's stock price (with mNAV far exceeding BTC's net asset value) to create a positive cycle where "issuing shares meant increasing holdings." However, as valuations have receded to approximately 1.24 times the base mNAV of enterprise value, the BTC-per-share accretion effect from common stock issuance is approaching a break-even point.Meanwhile, while convertible bonds have played a crucial role historically, they have accumulated a principal of approximately $8.2 billion and face concentrated repayment pressure after September 2027, putting long-term strain on the sustainability of the financing structure.STRC provides Strategy with a continuous source of financing—used to maintain its BTC buying pace—by offering yield-seeking investors an approximately 11.5% annualized monthly dividend. However, this mechanism also introduces ongoing cash flow obligations, meaning that each round of financing simultaneously builds future dividend burdens while increasing BTC assets.The report emphasizes a key risk scenario: if BTC's price remains stagnant and MSTR's premium fails to recover, the "gains from STRC-financed coin purchases" could be progressively offset by "common stock dilution and dividend obligations." Although the company's approximately $2.25 billion cash reserve can cover its roughly $1 billion redemption pressure in 2027, its larger debt and dividend structure in 2028 remains unresolved.Furthermore, STRC's current authorized issuance limit of approximately $28.3 billion serves as a critical constraint. Once this limit is reached, the capacity for new BTC purchases may slow, yet existing dividend obligations will persist—thereby altering the overall dynamic growth trajectory of BTC per share.
