The content covers aspects such as device cracking, evidence collection, on-chain transaction tracking, and asset freezing and seizure.The paper outlines several tracking methods, one of which involves tracking transaction fees back to exchanges like Binance, allowing the police to obtain user data. The police can acquire "Know Your Customer" (KYC) records from major exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and HTX through formal legal channels. For funds stored in exchanges, the police can freeze accounts for six months, and the freezing period can be extended.Additionally, the document emphasizes strict operational bottom lines: investigators must not privately hold private keys.

According to the Financial Times, the U.S. government is in discussions with several AI companies and plans to introduce voluntary industry standards for the release of cutting-edge AI models as early as next week, to prevent advanced technologies from being misused by other countries. The standards will clearly define regulations regarding model performance benchmarks, release timelines, and domestic and international access permissions.Affected by recent tightening of regulatory policies, several leading AI companies have adjusted their operations. OpenAI has postponed the full release of GPT-5.6 at the government's request, allowing access only to a few partners that have passed qualification reviews; two top models from Anthropic have just had their export restrictions lifted after nearly three weeks; Google is also in close communication with the government while preparing a new generation of code models.

Paymentscan data shows that the total recharge amount of cryptocurrency payment cards has surpassed $10 billion for the first time, reaching approximately $10.33 billion, an increase of 82% since the beginning of the year and about 250% year-on-year. This data reflects the cumulative recharge scale of cryptocurrency payment cards and related payment projects, rather than the trading volume of cryptocurrency exchanges.Reports indicate that stablecoins are becoming the main driving force behind the popularity of cryptocurrency payment cards. Compared to volatile assets like Bitcoin, stablecoins can complete payment settlements through traditional card networks, lowering the access threshold for merchants and making them more suitable for cross-border payments, remittances, and daily consumption scenarios in high-inflation areas.As payment companies, cryptocurrency exchanges, and asset management institutions continue to improve stablecoin infrastructure, cryptocurrency payment cards are gradually becoming an important gateway connecting digital assets to real-world consumption. However, as the scale of application expands, regulatory agencies will also pay more attention to issues such as consumer protection, sanctions screening, tax reporting, reserve asset transparency, and transaction monitoring.

According to a report by the Financial Associated Press, Nvidia announced a new AI infrastructure collaboration model on July 1 local time. Through revenue-sharing and credit-support mechanisms, it will jointly build large-scale, multi-tenant AI factories with AI cloud service providers, helping startups, model developers, enterprises, and research institutions to access AI computing power more quickly, while creating a sustainable revenue stream for Nvidia linked to computing power usage.According to the plan, AI cloud vendors will deploy AI factories based on the Nvidia DSX AI Factory architecture to provide cloud computing services. The first batch of partners includes Sharon AI and Firmus. Among them, Sharon AI plans to deploy up to 40,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB300 GPUs; Firmus will build a DSX AI factory park on Batam Island, Indonesia, with plans to expand to a power scale of 360 megawatts and deploy up to 170,000 Nvidia GPUs.

Bitwise Research Director André Dragosch posted on the X platform that July could be a key month for Bitcoin to switch from a bear market to a bull market. He pointed out that if semiconductor stocks significantly reverse from their current position, the Federal Reserve may respond with a dovish stance. Bitcoin is likely to complete its reversal ahead of the market's general expectation of a bottom in October.
