According to BBX data, yesterday institutional funds showed a divergence in their perception of the bottom for Bitcoin, with the core dynamics as follows:BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: $BLK) yesterday, related entities under the company deposited 2,700 BTC (approximately $169 million) and 52,956 ETH (approximately $88.17 million) into Coinbase Prime institutional custody accounts, totaling about $257 million; reports also indicated "possible additional deposits." This deposit occurred against the backdrop of BTC approaching the key technical support level of $59,000, leading to divergent market interpretations: the optimistic interpretation believes that BlackRock is actively accumulating at the extremely low fear index of 18, signaling institutional-level bottom investment; the cautious interpretation suggests this could be passive rebalancing due to IBIT redemptions or internal asset rebalancing, and does not necessarily represent new buying. Regardless of the intent, the scale of $257 million accounts for about 0.5% of IBIT's current approximately $48 billion to $50 billion AUM, which is relatively small, but as a signal of institutional behavior in an extremely fearful market environment, it holds significant emotional reference value.Hyperscale Data Inc (NYSE: $GPUS) recently disclosed its balance sheet showing that the company holds a total of approximately $94.8 million in cash, restricted cash, Bitcoin, and silver, equivalent to 100.42% of the company's total market value of common stock—meaning the physical assets held by the company fully cover the current total market value. The company holds a 10-year, $1.2 billion AI computing power master service agreement (MSA), providing 20 megawatts of AI computing capacity for its Michigan facility, allowing for the continuous accumulation of Bitcoin and precious metals through cash flow from this contract without incurring debt. This business model—locking in cash flow with AI computing contracts and continuously accumulating hard assets with zero leverage—has been referred to by analysts as "the de-leveraged digital asset reserve model against the Strategy," providing a stark contrast in the current market context where Strategy leverage models are under pressure.

Taiko officially stated on X: "We have identified the root cause of this attack and are currently developing a fix to restore the blockchain's online operation as soon as possible.

According to the official announcement, Gate stock continues to expand its global stock trading scenarios. In addition to the existing pre-market, intraday, and after-hours trading, it has now added support for overnight trading and weekend market closure trading, further expanding the coverage of trading hours and supporting 24/7 trading for US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks. The first phase opens a total of 215 trading targets, including 195 popular US stocks such as Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Microsoft, 17 Hong Kong stocks including Tencent Holdings, Xiaomi Group, and Meituan, and 3 Korean stocks including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor, further breaking the traditional securities market trading time restrictions and enhancing users' global asset allocation efficiency.

According to a post by BIT Official analysts, in the past 30 days, the total capital flow of stablecoins, MicroStrategy, and Bitcoin ETFs has turned into a net outflow, reaching a record scale of $8 billion, indicating that institutional investors are actively reducing risk exposure before the summer.Unlike the stagnation of capital inflow in the fourth quarter of 2025, this capital movement has clearly turned negative. Analysts believe that without significant positive catalysts such as a dovish shift from the Federal Reserve, buying pressure is unlikely to recover. The decline of BTC from $82,000 to $62,000 may have a greater impact than the previous drop from $102,000 to $82,000. Currently, the upside potential is limited, and there may still be trading opportunities in shorting volatility.

THORChain released an event update stating that the network is entering the final stage of recovery. Currently, the integrity of each node's keyshare is being verified through the new KeyVerify protocol. This step is used to confirm that each vault is in a secure state before the churn begins. If the verification passes, the next major step will be the churn, where the network will transfer all funds to new vaults.THORChain indicated that the churn time is the current main variable, which may take anywhere from several hours to several days. After the churn is completed, subsequent steps are expected to progress quickly, including re-enabling Secured and Trade assets, LP operations, and finally restoring trading. This network recovery has taken longer than expected, as the team has consistently prioritized security and stability, and will continue to share more updates moving forward.

According to official news, Circle announced that the cross-chain transfer protocol CCTP now supports Stellar and has included Stellar in Domain 27. In the latest release notes, Circle introduced the content of this update and the key integration details that developers need to pay attention to before transferring USDC in or out of Stellar.

Jiang Zhuoer stated that MicroStrategy (MSTR) currently holds approximately $55 billion in Bitcoin assets, corresponding to an annual dividend expenditure of about $1.7 billion for its STRC preferred shares, which theoretically could cover about 32 years of dividend needs by selling BTC. STRC is a preferred stock rather than a debt instrument, so there is no traditional pressure for mandatory repayment. From a financial structure perspective, MSTR does not face "forced liquidation-style leverage risk" or short-term repayment crises.However, the related statements reflect that market concerns about its long-term cash flow and the volatility of crypto assets are rising. Currently, STRC has shown significant discount fluctuations, and its refinancing ability is limited. In addition, MSTR has recently relied more on methods such as issuing common stock to increase its BTC holdings (which may dilute the per-share Bitcoin amount when mNAV is below 1), and this strategy is difficult to sustain in the long term.Jiang Zhuoer indicated that even if the actual scale of MSTR selling BTC to pay dividends is relatively small compared to the entire market, its symbolic significance may be more important, potentially putting pressure on market confidence and causing investors to reassess the possibility of "long-term passive selling of coins." The market's understanding of this structure is not consistent, and this cognitive difference itself may become an important factor influencing expectations and sentiment.

Gate's Hong Kong stock trading targets have further expanded to over 1,500, continuously enriching the coverage of listed assets on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange based on the original more than 1,000. This aims to enhance global stock market access capabilities.

Gate's Hong Kong stock trading service has achieved comprehensive coverage on both App and Web, and the Gate App needs to be updated to version 8.23.5 or above.This expansion covers high market capitalization and liquid quality listed companies on the Main Board and Growth Enterprise Market, improving the asset structure of Hong Kong stocks. At the same time, Gate has formed a multi-layered product system that includes Pre-IPOs, direct IPO (IPO Access), and secondary market trading, providing users with a new channel to participate in the subscription of global popular companies' listings.

Syscoin released a bridge security incident report, disclosing details of the UTXO-to-NEVM bridge vulnerability incident, which reportedly led to approximately 5 billion SYS being unauthorizedly released on the UTXO side. The related funds have since been returned to the official recovery address and destroyed through the standard OP_RETURN method, making them unusable by the protocol again. The on-chain reported SYS supply has been restored to the expected value, and the bridge function remains suspended while the team completes the final review and fixes.Syscoin pointed out that it will fix the cross-layer parsing defects. The core lesson from this incident is that cross-layer systems must uniformly standardize data processing, and any ambiguous bridge proof should be considered a default failure.

Global technology company Electric Soul (EST) has disclosed the latest progress in its global deployment. As of June 2026, the company has deployed tens of thousands of standardized commercial shared charging devices in multiple countries across Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, covering high-traffic scenarios such as business districts, transportation hubs, and dining clusters, while maintaining stable operations.As the scale of devices reaches tens of thousands, Electric Soul is transitioning from regional market expansion to a phase of global-scale operations.

At the 2026 Lujiazui Forum, Ding Xiangqun, Director of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, stated that efforts should be made to strengthen regulation, eliminate regulatory gaps and blind spots, and ensure full coverage without exceptions. Ding Xiangqun emphasized the need to focus on preventing and resolving risks, firmly maintaining the bottom line of preventing systemic financial risks. Efforts should be made to "reduce existing amounts and control new amounts." Effectively and orderly handle risks of small and medium-sized financial institutions, and support the resolution of real estate and local government debt risks. Adhere to the principle of "preventing problems before they occur" and focus on the front end, improving the early correction mechanism for financial risks with hard constraints to achieve early identification, early warning, early exposure, and early handling. Focus on "regulating the legal and more on regulating the illegal." Strengthen central-local collaboration and inter-departmental coordination, striving to eliminate regulatory gaps and blind spots, ensuring full coverage without exceptions. Taking the overall battle against illegal financial activities as a starting point, maintain a high-pressure crackdown, strengthen systematic governance across the entire chain, and strive to protect the "purses" of the people.

Syscoin released a bridge security incident report, disclosing details of the UTXO-to-NEVM bridging vulnerability incident. It is reported that this incident led to approximately 5 billion SYS being unauthorizedly released on the UTXO side. The related funds have since been returned to the official recovery address and destroyed through the standard OP_RETURN method, making them unusable by the protocol again, and the on-chain reported SYS supply has been restored to the expected value. The bridging function is currently still suspended, and the team is completing the final review and repair.

According to Cointelegraph, analysts say that the recovery of Bitcoin depends on the success of the US-Iran peace agreement. On-chain data shows that despite a recent rebound, Bitcoin still appears weak. Nick Ruck, research director at LVRG Research, stated that although Bitcoin briefly recovered to $67,000, "momentum remains weak, with declining trading volume and stagnant on-chain indicators suggesting a lack of confidence in the rebound, which may quickly fade." If the US-Iran ceasefire agreement breaks down, Bitcoin will face a "volatile path," potentially gaining buying interest as a hedge asset, only to be pushed towards key support levels by broader risk-averse sentiment.Swissblock stated on Monday that Bitcoin's price momentum and OBV indicator remain in a state of "weak momentum and low participation," both being negative values. The price momentum indicator is at -1, and OBV is at 1.7 million, at a multi-year low. Swissblock pointed out that in a typical bear market, momentum weakens first, followed by a contraction in OBV, leading to a downward price breakout. History shows that stronger recovery signals appear when both turn positive, and until then, "the risk of retesting the lows remains."

The Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Bitbank today issued a risk warning to users regarding the use of prediction market services such as Polymarket.The announcement pointed out that prediction platforms that trade on future events, elections, or sports results using cryptocurrency assets are mostly operated by overseas institutions. If users access these platforms from within Japan and participate in trading for the purpose of making financial gains, they may be suspected of violating Japan's relevant gambling regulations.Bitbank emphasized that if the platform detects withdrawal and deposit records related to prediction markets or suspected related services in a user's account, it may implement suspension measures on that account. Once an account is suspended, the user will be unable to log in, trade, or withdraw and deposit cryptocurrency assets and yen, and the platform will not be responsible for any losses incurred as a result.

According to Thaiger, Thai police arrested 8 suspects in Bangkok. The gang is suspected of robbing a 35-year-old Chinese man of 196,000 Thai Baht during an offline cryptocurrency exchange.It is reported that the victim went to a gas station café in the Bang Khen district of Bangkok to complete the exchange of Thai Baht for cryptocurrency as agreed online. After receiving the cash, the suspects fled on motorcycles. A total of 9 people were involved in the case, using 6 motorcycles to escape, and 1 suspect is still at large.

According to the official announcement, Humanity has shared the real-time tracking page of the stolen funds with all CEXs, DEXs, and trading aggregators, and will continue to update the relevant data. The project team has also set up a reward of 1 million USDT for any information that helps recover the stolen funds, and all recovered funds will be used to repurchase H tokens.In addition, while formulating a recovery plan for affected users, the team has launched a real-time tracker for the attacker's address and downstream fund flows, publicly displaying the attacker's wallet, fund movements, and asset disposal status to allow users to monitor the progress of the event in real-time.

Humility Protocol released a security incident update on the X platform, indicating that yesterday the H token suffered a coordinated attack on the Ethereum and BSC chains, with over $36 million in assets confirmed to have been stolen and sold off.Preliminary investigations show that the incident originated from an employee's computer being compromised, leading to the leakage of the multi-signature wallet keys controlling the Hyperlane Bridge ProxyAdmin. Among them, the attacker obtained 3 out of 6 private keys from Gnosis Safe holders on the Ethereum chain, transferred ownership of ProxyAdmin to their controlled wallet, and upgraded the bridging contract to a malicious implementation, subsequently transferring approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction.Meanwhile, the attacker also controlled 3 out of 5 private keys from Safe wallet holders on the BSC chain, taking over ProxyAdmin in the same manner and deploying a malicious contract with unlimited minting capabilities, minting 200 million H tokens to their wallet in two transactions.Humility stated that it has suspended all deposit and withdrawal operations for the affected bridging services and is collaborating with exchanges and other relevant partners to mitigate losses, while also cooperating with law enforcement to investigate and attempt to recover some of the stolen funds.
