EU Cross-Border Financial Control Mechanism Raises Alarm: Philippines’ Crypto Regulation Faces Sovereignty Test
According to BusinessMirror, columnist John Mangun wrote that the European Commission’s recent proposal for the first “comprehensive third-country crypto-asset services ban” against Russia reveals an underlying logic: wealthy blocs of nations can impose their policies extraterritorially on any country connected to their financial systems—a development with profound warning implications for developing countries like the Philippines. Remittances account for approximately 9% of the Philippines’ GDP, and the share channeled through crypto continues to rise. While the central bank has established a regulatory framework for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), its regulatory authority stops at the national border. Citing the Philippines’ 2021 placement on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “gray list,” the article notes that once external financial linkages are severed, compliance costs will cascade downward—ultimately borne by ordinary overseas-worker remittance-receiving households. The author warns that the Philippines’ current debt-to-GDP ratio has reached 63.2%, the highest in two decades. If crypto regulation is treated solely as a consumer protection issue—while overlooking its deeper implications for capital account management and fiscal sovereignty—the country may face a “Roosevelt-style four-day ultimatum” unprepared.
Arthur Hayes: Rising Oil Prices, AI-Related IPOs, and Trump's Anti-AI Rhetoric Could Pop the AI Bubble and Drag Down the Crypto Market
Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
BIS to Test Real-Value Transactions with Cross-Border Digital Payment Prototype with Multiple Parties
According to Bloomberg, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) stated that it will soon launch trials of Project Agorá—a cross-border digital payments prototype—in partnership with others, conducting real-value transactions. First announced two years ago, Project Agorá is jointly advanced by the BIS, seven central banks, and over 40 regulated institutions. It has now entered a testing phase involving actual fund transfers.
Duke University Scholar: WLFI May Be an Unregistered Security; Questions SEC’s Independence in Launching Investigation
According to The Block, Lee Reiners—a lecturer in law at Duke University and former examiner at the New York Federal Reserve—published a post on May 8 stating that WLFI, the governance token issued by the DeFi project World Liberty Financial—which is closely associated with the Trump family—may constitute an unregistered security. Reiners cited the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recently released token classification framework, arguing that WLFI is not a “pure digital commodity” and therefore falls under SEC regulatory scrutiny. He contends that WLFI was publicly presold—approximately 25 billion tokens—prior to the protocol’s launch and was marketed leveraging the Trump family’s brand, leading buyers to reasonably expect profits—a key element of the SEC’s “Howey Test” for determining whether an asset qualifies as a security. Regarding decentralization claims, Reiners referenced litigation filed by Justin Sun, noting that World Liberty unilaterally froze Sun’s tokens and revoked his governance rights—revealing a high degree of centralized control. Additionally, he highlighted clear conflicts of interest: the project borrowed $75 million in stablecoins from the Dolomite protocol, using 5 billion WLFI tokens as collateral; notably, a co-founder of Dolomite also serves as an advisor to World Liberty, and part of the borrowed stablecoins flowed directly to World Liberty itself.

Analyst: Coinbase Faces Critical Support Test Next Week; Holding Above $141 Could Trigger a Rally to $185
Crypto analyst Ali posted on X, stating that Coinbase will face a critical technical test next week. If it holds above $141, it could trigger a rebound and potentially rally toward $185; however, if it breaks below this key support level, further downside risk looms, with a potential target near $74. Meanwhile, analyst Hussein Kashmar noted that the weekly support level at $145 is also highly significant—this zone has historically attracted strong buying interest. Market participants are now watching closely to see whether bulls can successfully defend this current support area. Should buying pressure fail to materialize effectively, Coinbase may retreat further into the prior breakout range of $100–$115.

US Department of Commerce Evaluates Kimi K3, Claims U.S. Still Leads, But Report Notes Test Was Not Fully Equivalent
the U.S. Department of Commerce's AI Standards and Innovation Center, in collaboration with the UK AI Safety Institute, tested the cyber attack capabilities of Kimi K3, emphasizing that "the United States still leads."However, the value of the evaluation is debated due to limitations in the testing scope. Due to hosting environment constraints, Kimi K3 only participated in partial testing, with its overall cyber capabilities estimated primarily based on 41 exploit benchmarks. In contrast, other models underwent more comprehensive testing, resulting in a larger margin of error for Kimi K3's results.In the exploit testing, Kimi K3 scored approximately 32%, higher than GLM-5.2's 24%, but lower than the average of approximately 76% for leading U.S. models. In a simulated attack chain test, Kimi K3 completed an average of 17 out of 32 steps in the attack chain and successfully breached the network once in 10 attempts, while U.S. frontier models completed an average of 28.5 steps.The report notes that Kimi K3 already possesses a certain level of autonomous attack capability, and its security guardrails did not prevent the model from developing exploits or executing attacks. However, the report also emphasizes that the testing scope was limited.
OpenAI Model Breaches Test Sandbox and Infiltrates Hugging Face Production Infrastructure to Obtain Benchmark Answers
OpenAI confirmed that the unreleased GPT-5.6 Sol and another unnamed, more powerful pre-release model breached a restricted sandbox environment during ExploitGym benchmark evaluations and infiltrated Hugging Face's production infrastructure to obtain test answers.OpenAI stated that the models leveraged a zero-day vulnerability in an internal software package registry proxy to escalate privileges and move laterally, ultimately connecting to a machine with internet access. The models then identified and chained together vulnerabilities in both the OpenAI research environment and Hugging Face's production infrastructure, directly retrieving test solutions from Hugging Face's production database.Hugging Face disclosed the incident on July 16, stating that the attack was executed end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system, involving thousands of operations within short-lived sandboxes and accessing internal datasets and service credentials. OpenAI confirmed its models were the subject of the incident five days later.Hugging Face stated that its security team, in order to analyze over 17,000 attack logs, initially attempted to use a commercial US frontier AI interface, but the request was blocked due to safety guardrails. They subsequently switched to using the 753-billion parameter open-weight model GLM 5.2 from Chinese AI startup Z.ai on their own infrastructure to complete the forensic analysis.

BIS-Led Project Agorá Completes Million-Dollar Cross-Border Tokenized Payment Test
According to CoinDesk, Project Agorá, led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), recently completed a cross-border payment test with real funds. Participants included 28 commercial banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Standard Chartered, as well as five central banks. The test processed approximately $1 million (about 800,000 Swiss francs) in real transactions, covering six currencies: the US dollar, euro, pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and South Korean won. The test utilized tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, settling funds on a shared ledger with an average settlement time of about 80 seconds. Unlike traditional cross-border payments that require intermediation by multiple correspondent banks, the platform achieved shared single ownership records and supports synchronized settlement of bilateral foreign exchange, effectively reducing principal risk. The BIS stated that the platform can operate in parallel with existing payment systems, rather than replacing them.
El Salvador 2027 General Election Opposition Candidate Emerges, Bukele's Bitcoin Strategy Faces Political Test
According to BeInCrypto, El Salvador's two major opposition parties have officially nominated candidates for the February 2027 presidential election: the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) nominated former legislator Maytee Iraheta, while the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) nominated doctor and union leader Rafael Aguirre. Both candidates clearly oppose Bukele's Bitcoin strategy, characterizing it as a fiscal failure. However, Bukele's approval rating remains as high as 94%, and his New Ideas party has also completed nominations, holding a clear advantage for re-election. It is worth noting that El Salvador revoked Bitcoin's legal tender status in February 2025 after reaching a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF, restoring the US dollar as the sole official currency, but the government still maintains the plan to purchase approximately 1 Bitcoin per day, with holdings reaching approximately 7,730 BTC as of July 27.
