In response to the U.S. accusations of China "stealing" intellectual property from American artificial intelligence laboratories, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiaqun stated during a regular press conference on the 24th that the U.S. claims are unfounded and are a smear against China's achievements in the development of the artificial intelligence industry. China firmly opposes this. We urge the U.S. to respect the facts, abandon prejudice, stop suppressing technology related to China, and do more to promote technological exchange and cooperation between the two countries.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has released a consultation document proposing to establish a more friendly regulatory capital guideline for the treatment of crypto assets on permissionless blockchains before implementing the Basel capital requirements for crypto assets.It is reported that the Basel capital requirements for crypto assets categorize them into two groups. The first group involves tokenized traditional assets and stablecoins, which are subject to lower capital requirements.The second group involves crypto assets that do not meet the above conditions. The Monetary Authority of Singapore intends to abandon the practice of categorizing all crypto assets on permissionless blockchains as part of the second group, allowing them to be classified as first group crypto assets with lower risk weights and more lenient prudential requirements, provided they meet a series of principled requirements. Specifically, for banks registered in Singapore, the risk exposure of permissionless blockchain crypto assets classified as first group crypto assets must not exceed 2% of the bank's Tier 1 capital, and if the issuance creates liabilities at the bank level, the issuance scale must not exceed 5% of Tier 1 capital.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that peace negotiations typically move from disagreement to consensus. The motivation for continued warfare among all parties is weakening under the current circumstances, and the conflict may gradually come to an end. "We still insist that the war will end; neither side has any reason to continue fighting. Waiting for a rebound without taking profits, the moment an agreement is reached will be a bullish signal."He pointed out that, from a medium to long-term perspective, the market is generally waiting for a potential large-scale financial crisis. There are signs of defensive positioning on the funding side, such as large capital holding a high proportion of cash and sovereign entities increasing their gold holdings. In this context, if a crisis occurs again, it will be a key moment to test whether Bitcoin possesses the attributes of a safe-haven asset, and it may also present significant opportunities for low-position allocations.In addition, Yi Lihua believes that AI technology is bringing a new round of opportunities for outstanding entrepreneurs. A small number of teams can create global products, reducing financing and organizational management costs. Especially experienced serial entrepreneurs should seize this "AI Age of Exploration."

According to a source cited by the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian and Speaker of Parliament Ghalibaf have not left Iran. Both senior officials are currently in Tehran, actively fulfilling their national duties against the backdrop of the evolving regional situation. The source stated, "The reports from some media claiming that the Iranian negotiation team has arrived in Islamabad to negotiate with the Americans are completely false."He emphasized, "As long as the United States does not fulfill its commitment to ceasefire in Lebanon, and the Zionist regime continues to launch attacks, negotiations will remain stalled." Previously, The Wall Street Journal claimed that the Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad on Thursday evening.

According to the official announcement from Seamless Protocol, the Base chain DeFi lending protocol Seamless Protocol, which has been operating for over two and a half years, has announced its official shutdown. The protocol's UI will go offline on June 30, 2026, at which point team support will also cease. Users must withdraw all assets through the UI before this date; otherwise, they will need to manually interact with the contract, which is complex and lacks technical support.The team stated that the core reason for the shutdown is that leverage tokens failed to find a product-market fit—structural liquidity shortages in the DeFi lending market have prevented the product from scaling, compounded by fluctuations in lending rates eroding returns, and the protocol also lacks a sustainable revenue path.The team also pointed out that the DeFi market trend is shifting towards actively managed vaults, which fundamentally diverges from its non-custodial, fully automated product positioning. Additionally, the team will submit a governance proposal to allocate the remaining assets in the DAO treasury to SEAM token holders.

According to information forwarded by ZachXBT and released by the on-chain analysis firm AMLBot, one of the addresses mistakenly frozen by Circle in a civil case, 0xb25ea1d493b49a1ded42ac5b1208cc618f9a9b80, is related to the DFINITY ecosystem.The accompanying operational guidelines indicate that this address is involved in the cross-chain exchange process between ETH and ckETH. After users deposit ETH, the ICP side contract mints ckETH and, when needed, exchanges ckETH back to ETH on Ethereum, which is typical of operational/bridging service wallets. Last night, it was reported that ZachXBT expressed doubts about Circle freezing 16 business hot wallets of USDC.

Yili Hua posted on platform X, stating: "The Middle East war is lasting longer than expected. Although this is not very Trump-like, Russia has been caught off guard, and it turns out that the world's hegemon is also far beyond expectations. In this situation, oil prices continue to rise, and the only strategy for all assets is to seek safety. Fortunately, we are only looking for rebounds rather than reversals. After triggering stop losses, we calmly wait for the situation to clarify.Since the 1011 incident, the entire cryptocurrency industry has seen a continuous decline in liquidity. The 1011 incident wiped out the most active middle-class investors in crypto, and various trading restrictions from leading platforms have pushed market enthusiasm to freezing point. The normal rebound that should have occurred after a significant drop has disappeared. However, the extreme freezing point this year will also present the biggest opportunity for bottom fishing, just like the last round when BTC dropped to 16,000. As for whether you bottomed at 16,000 or 20,000, it makes no difference."

Atkins, delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the Investor Advisory Committee, focusing on three main topics.First, to reduce unnecessary information disclosure burdens, advocating for the principle of "minimum effective dose regulation," emphasizing that rules should be centered on materiality and flexibly adjusted according to company size; at the same time, suggesting an extension of the applicability period of the "IPO on-ramp" in the JOBS Act to encourage more small and medium-sized enterprises to go public.Second, opposing the SEC's indirect intervention in corporate governance through "comply or explain" disclosure requirements, arguing that such "shaming regulation" exceeds the SEC's authority, and governance decisions should be made by shareholders and directors themselves.Third, expressing views on the tokenization of equity securities, believing that tokenization helps improve settlement efficiency, reduce settlement risks, and minimize intermediaries, and revealing that the SEC will consider introducing an innovative exemption mechanism to support limited trading of specific tokenized securities and accumulate experience for developing a long-term regulatory framework.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted an article calling for reforms in the DAO governance model. He pointed out that the current operation of DAOs is extremely difficult, with the decision-making process slowed down by forum discussions, temperature checks, and multiple rounds of voting. At the same time, DAOs can easily become politicized, with participants forming political alliances, ultimately leading to "politicians" winning instead of builders.Kulechov advocates that governance should focus on areas that truly require collective participation, such as significant protocol changes and treasury strategies, while the rest should belong to the execution level, requiring leaders to drive it forward. He stated that Aave needs to remain agile and streamline governance processes to capture opportunities in the global lending market. Recently, the Aave community experienced governance turmoil, with core contributors BGD Labs and ACI withdrawing from the protocol due to conflicts with Aave Labs, and both sides having disagreements over the "Aave Will Win" proposal put forth by Aave Labs.
