According to Jinshi reports, Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russia is about to launch a large-scale attack on Ukraine.

The cross-chain protocol Axelar Network released a statement regarding the recent security incident related to Secret Network, stating that there is a misunderstanding within the community about the event. Both Axelar and the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) were not attacked or compromised. The affected token smart contracts were neither developed, deployed, nor maintained by Axelar, and Axelar's firewall mechanism also prevented the impact from spreading to other chains.It is reported that the exploited contract is a forked version based on CW20-ICS20, but the developers removed two core security checks, resulting in an "infinite minting" vulnerability. By deleting the verification mechanisms originally used to prevent such issues, this fork altered the original trust model of the contract and did not undergo a new security audit.Axelar Network explained that anyone can deploy contracts for cross-chain asset wrapping through IBC, and similar contracts have also been used to wrap tokens from other chains into Secret Network. However, the Secret side fork version in this incident has vulnerabilities due to the removal of key security checks. This incident is not a unique logical flaw, nor is it an issue with the IBC protocol itself, but rather a security risk introduced by modifications to third-party contracts.

In response to rumors regarding the attack on the BNB Chain OLPC/LABUBU liquidity pool, PancakeSwap's official announcement stated that the platform has noted the news related to this security incident. After preliminary verification, PancakeSwap's own smart contracts do not have security vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile, the official reminds users that all relevant event information should be based on content released through PancakeSwap's official channels.

According to Reuters, Italian crypto fintech company Conio, supported by Poste Italiane and Banca Generali, has obtained a crypto asset service provider (CASP) license under the EU MiCAR framework in Italy. This authorization was granted after review by the Italian Consob and the central bank, allowing Conio to provide services such as digital asset custody, transfers, and distribution.Reports indicate that the MiCAR transition period will end on June 30, 2026, after which unlicensed companies will be unable to provide crypto services in Italy and the EU.

The Zodiac team released a security incident analysis report regarding the impact on the Zodiac Roles Modifier, disclosing that the root cause of the vulnerability lies in a flaw in the ERC-1271 transaction signature verification logic: the system only determines the validity of the signature based on the returned "magic value" without verifying whether the call itself was successful, which may disguise a failed verification as a valid signature, bypassing the module authentication mechanism.

According to an analysis of the latest leaked data by WIRED, the secretive society Dialog, co-founded by Peter Thiel, has an extremely ruthless and biased "grading and elimination" mechanism.Dialog implements a secret rule of "rating upon entry." Although the club has thousands of members, only 192 personal profiles (including 130 formal members and some candidates) were leaked and reviewed by WIRED. They reveal the club's counterintuitive hierarchy of disdain: C-level is the highest VIP, B-level is the overwhelming majority of ordinary members, while the A-level, usually regarded as the best, is actually the least known bottom tier.This rating is directly tied to members' wallets. Only about 25% of VIP "C" level big shots are required to pay the full attendance fee, while among the bottom "A" level members, the proportion paying the full attendance fee of tens of thousands of dollars is as high as 70%.Ironically, the AI screening mechanism introduced by Dialog is extremely superstitious about so-called "national recognition." For example, actor Josh Brolin, who played "Thanos," has never attended but wins VIP "C" level status due to box office success and millions of fans; meanwhile, academic giant Tyler Cowen was deemed "not famous enough among ordinary people" by the AI and nearly classified into the ordinary tier, only barely promoted to C-level through human intervention.The "value-added points" serve as a scythe for eliminating "useless people," specifically measuring members' resource connections and intellectual contributions to other club giants. After each gathering, staff review members' performances like "code review," and those with too low value-added points, cultural mismatches, or declining visibility will be ruthlessly removed from the invitation list.Additionally, the leaked database also exposed its built-in social and dating matching system (10% of members join the singles pool), which has a "no-match list" while recommending pairings.This so-called objective assessment system is also filled with biases: women make up one-third of the members but only receive 18% of VIP seats; politically, it is even harder to escape differential treatment. Although more than half of the members identify as "left-leaning," the probability of "right-leaning" members obtaining VIP status is more than twice that of left-leaning members, and even the "left-leaning" label of an environmental leader was forcibly rewritten to "right-leaning" by staff in the background.

According to Jinshi reports, ECB Governing Council member Wunsch stated that if service sector inflation rises, the European Central Bank may consider raising interest rates by another 25 basis points to ensure economic safety.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) today announced the launch of a joint pilot project to explore new digital payment solutions for trading during after-hours sessions in the derivatives market. This pilot project aims to optimize Hong Kong's capital markets and meet the growing demand for after-hours trading sessions. HKEX and HKMA are studying the introduction of "digital Hong Kong dollar"—a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) operating on a 24/7 model—for the payment of pre-paid margins during after-hours trading sessions, to enhance the risk management capabilities of the derivatives market outside of banking hours while maintaining existing operational processes.

According to Cryptopolitan, India's financial intelligence agency has requested three major local cryptocurrency exchanges to provide information on over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency transactions valued at over $10,000.The directive requires exchanges to maintain OTC records since January 2026, focusing on beneficial ownership, particularly transactions where private companies or intermediaries may conceal the true owners of funds. OTC transactions are negotiated directly between the platform and clients, helping large buyers avoid public market price fluctuations, but also increasing the risk of lack of transparency, thus being viewed by regulators as high-risk channels for money laundering, tax evasion, and cross-border capital flows.India remains one of the largest cryptocurrency markets globally, but there is no official data on the size of the OTC market.

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.

The Block reporter Gareth Jenkinson posted on X platform that reliable sources revealed that European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde directly ordered Greece to reject Binance's MiCA license application. The news states that Binance had previously almost obtained approval from Greek regulators, but was obstructed after the European Central Bank intervened. Jenkinson indicated that if the European Central Bank ultimately controls such decisions, it would not be good news for the crypto industry.In addition, according to Cryptopolitan, Binance is now turning to France as the only remaining avenue to obtain MiCA authorization, but has not yet formally submitted an application.

According to Jinshi reports, the Federal Reserve's dot plot shows a clear hawkish tendency, leading to a sharp decline in Shanghai gold and silver futures at the opening. Goldman Sachs has issued a warning that the hawkish shift is not solely due to oil, and when precious metal prices will stabilize remains a focal point of market attention.

According to Fortune, PayPal is shutting down its 10-year-old corporate venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures. It is reported that PayPal plans to sell some of its investment positions in the secondary market and has hired investment bank Jefferies to assist with potential transactions. Since its establishment in 2016, PayPal Ventures has invested in over 80 startups, including Plaid and Anchorage Digital, through three funds totaling more than $850 million.The reduction of the venture capital department comes after the new CEO Enrique Lores took over the company. To cope with fierce competition in the payment market and the previous decline in stock prices, PayPal is currently advancing a comprehensive organizational restructuring, planning to cut 20% of its workforce over the next two to three years to save at least $1.5 billion in costs, and refocusing its strategic emphasis on core foundational business and the application of AI technology.
