The National Development and Reform Commission officially released the "Action Plan for the Cooperative Development of Artificial Intelligence," aimed at building an open, shared, secure, orderly, and collaboratively governed global artificial intelligence ecosystem. The plan clearly outlines eight core actions, comprehensively promoting deep international cooperation in the AI field from multiple dimensions, including data, computing power, algorithms, talent, and governance. At the foundational level of data and computing power, the action plan emphasizes the need to promote cross-border data flow and build a trustworthy cross-border data space, collaboratively constructing a high-quality corpus; at the same time, it promotes the interconnection of intelligent computing facilities, providing inclusive intelligent computing services to developing countries, and creating low-carbon intelligent computing infrastructure driven by green energy.In terms of industrial empowerment and ecological sharing, the plan encourages the co-construction of an international open-source community for artificial intelligence, promoting the sharing of general large models, basic algorithms, and tool components, and supporting countries in conducting localized innovation based on open-source models. By deepening "Artificial Intelligence +" cooperation, it aims to build a cross-national industrial cooperation platform, promoting the deep application and empowerment of AI technology in fields such as science, manufacturing, healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance. In addition, the plan also proposes the establishment of a joint training mechanism for top digital talent, collaboratively formulating occupational standards and skill certification systems, comprehensively enhancing public literacy, and jointly addressing the structural impacts of AI on employment.Regarding industry rules and technical security, the action plan advocates for the co-construction of rules and standards and collaborative governance for security. All parties will strengthen information sharing on cybersecurity threats and emergency response cooperation, researching ways to enhance the explainability, transparency, and safety of artificial intelligence. Finally, the plan emphasizes adherence to the technological ethics principle of "AI for Good," collaboratively constructing an ethical guideline system dedicated to eliminating algorithmic biases in the forms of racism, discrimination, and others. By promoting international governance cooperation in AI research, it aims to contribute public scientific products to the Global South, effectively serving the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

According to Protos, prosecutors in Wisconsin and New York have expressed dissatisfaction with the stablecoin issuer Circle, citing that Circle has repeatedly hindered law enforcement's attempts to recover stolen funds. Law enforcement agencies in various locations have sought Circle's cooperation to help victims of fraud and hacking incidents recover losses by destroying and reissuing USDC tokens, but Circle has refused these requests based on policy positions.Circle believes that modifying the blockchain ledger to reverse transactions would undermine the fundamental attributes of the USDC stablecoin and set a dangerous precedent for the entire cryptocurrency industry. This position highlights the deep-seated conflict between the immutability of blockchain and law enforcement needs. Prosecutors argue that Circle, as a regulated stablecoin issuer, should bear more social responsibility, while Circle insists on upholding the core principles of blockchain technology, making it difficult for both sides to bridge their differences on this issue in the short term.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Cooling Interest Rate Hike Expectations: Technical Analysis Takes Over Trends" that the current global financial market is at a critical juncture of alternating macro narratives and market trends. He emphasized that with the recent overall economic data being released, market concerns about the Federal Reserve maintaining an aggressive interest rate hike path have significantly cooled. Against the backdrop of weakening macro fundamental pressures, capital is seeking new directions, and market logic will gradually shift from "news-driven" to "technical-driven."Regarding the current market landscape, Lewis Huang stated that when macro expectations become consistent or stable, "technical analysis will reflect all market information." In the practical analysis segment of the live broadcast, he deeply dissected the latest chart structures of gold, U.S. stocks, and popular stock indices. He pointed out that due to the retreat of interest rate hike risks, non-yielding assets (such as gold) and risk assets (such as stock indices) are showing clearer technical boundaries. He suggested that CFD traders should temporarily reduce their reliance on macro data speculation at this stage and shift their trading focus to price action itself, leveraging key support and resistance levels and trend indicators to flexibly capture trading opportunities in swings and trends under changing market sentiments.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Strategy recently sold 3,588 BTC, marking the largest recorded Bitcoin sale to date, with the funds used for preferred stock payments and to replenish USD reserves.According to the Form 8-K document he cited, the sale was executed in two batches: from June 29 to June 30, 1,363 BTC were sold at an average price of $59,256, generating $80.8 million; from July 1 to July 5, 2,225 BTC were sold at an average price of $60,773, generating $135.2 million, for a total revenue of $216 million. The funds were used for preferred stock payments and to replenish USD reserves.Axel indicated that this sale differs from the sales made in 2022 for tax optimization, as it is primarily driven by debt obligations and does not represent a change in Strategy's long-term Bitcoin strategy. As of July 5, Strategy still holds 843,775 BTC and $2.55 billion in reserves, with this sale accounting for approximately 0.4% of its Bitcoin reserves.He also pointed out that after the announcement, the Bitcoin futures market positions significantly cooled down, with the Composite Market Index (IMI) dropping from about 80 to 32.6, briefly approaching 20, entering a bearish range; however, Bitcoin prices have largely remained in the range of $61,600 to $64,200, still above the 30-day fair value of $61,800. Analysts believe that the market currently views this sale as passive liquidity management rather than the beginning of a systematic reduction.
