According to Bits.media, a new draft bill submitted by the Russian government aims to grant the Financial Supervisory Authority the power to monitor all cryptocurrency transactions. For cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 60,000 rubles and foreign trade cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 1,000,000 rubles, the agency will collect complete information such as the full names or corporate names of the payer and payee, wallet addresses, actual addresses, birth dates, and taxpayer identification numbers. Transactions below 60,000 rubles only require the provision of names and wallet addresses.The bill also stipulates that the new limit for digital asset transactions by banks is 1% of the bank group's capital, and banks must hold corresponding funds to cover risks for the purchased cryptocurrencies. The central bank will be authorized to restrict or prohibit specific cryptocurrency operations when they threaten investor interests or may "undermine the stability of the financial system," with the scope extending from non-bank financial institutions to banks. The bill is expected to take effect simultaneously with the main cryptocurrency regulatory legislation, originally scheduled for implementation on July 1, but the review has been postponed. The first deputy governor recently stated that the relevant laws may take effect on September 1.

According to the Economic Times, the physical AI startup Mowito has completed a $3 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by Version One Ventures, with participation from All In Capital, Unisol, and iSeed. AI researcher Soumith Chintala and founders from Foundry Robotics, Coformer.ai, Better Capital, and others participated as angel investors.Mowito was founded in 2024 by Puru Rastogi, Adityanag Nagesh, and Safar V. It builds AI foundational models for industrial robotic arms, addressing the bottleneck of software programming in manufacturing automation by allowing robots to learn tasks through human demonstration rather than explicit programming—engineers do not need to rewrite control code when product lines change. Mowito's software can run on standard, unmodified industrial robots, serving automotive and electronics manufacturing clients. This round of financing will be used for expansion into the U.S. market, expanding engineering and marketing teams, and deepening deployment in manufacturing sites.

On Wednesday, the South Korean Ministry of Finance stated that Finance Minister Kim Yun-seok agreed to closely monitor risk factors that may exacerbate stock market volatility after meeting with the central bank governor and heads of financial regulatory agencies.

The Ministry pointed out that the increased concentration in the semiconductor industry has become a factor exacerbating financial market volatility.

SlowMist issued a security alert, detecting a coordinated malicious npm supply chain attack. The attackers utilized fake trading bot repositories and DeFi-themed npm packages to deploy JavaScript information stealers, targeting npm users, DeFi developers, and trading bot users.This attack involved 30 malicious npm packages, among which stake-math@3.5.4 appeared as a locked dependency in the donoaccestag/forex-mt5-trading-bot repository. This repository presented approximately 2300 highly homogeneous bulk-generated forks, mostly concentrated under the poly-stocks account, with signals being exceptionally clear. The sensitive data that attackers could steal is extensive, including cryptocurrency wallet libraries, browser cookies and saved passwords, browsing history, developer credentials, shell history, password manager libraries, private keys, mnemonic phrases, and API tokens exposed in source code.SlowMist recommends that developers immediately remove the affected npm packages, audit package.json and package-lock.json, and check CI logs for any of the 30 malicious packages; consider any system that has executed npm install as potentially compromised, rotate all exposed wallets, private keys, npm tokens, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and API tokens, and rebuild the affected environment from a clean image.

ARK Invest Research Director Lorenzo Valente commented on the OpenUSD stablecoin project launched by several institutions. He stated that, despite the strong capabilities of the participants (including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, Coinbase, etc.), OpenUSD faces multiple significant obstacles:First, there are liquidity and cold start issues; USDC and USDT have already formed strong network effects, dominating exchanges, payment processors, and brokers, making it difficult for the new stablecoin to gain trading pairs and large-scale holding willingness;Second, the decision-making speed of the alliance composed of 500 competitors will be extremely slow, lacking successful precedents, and conflicts of interest will be hard to coordinate;Third, the regulatory and antitrust risks are extremely high; the joint issuance of currency by large banks and card networks is likely to become a regulatory focus;Fourth, the revenue-sharing model results in issuers retaining too little capital, making it difficult to cover high operational and promotional expenses;Fifth, the actual commitments from partners are limited, mostly consisting of letters of intent (LOI), and parties are still supporting competitors, preferring multiple hedges rather than exclusive binding.Valente concluded that OpenUSD is essentially similar to "a DAO of multiple competitors," making it difficult to execute and make decisions quickly, and it may ultimately repeat the governance failures of early DAO projects, which could not be effectively implemented.Affected by the OpenUSD plan, Circle's stock fell over 17% in a single day, and ARK Invest took the opportunity to buy in.

According to Taiwan's Economic Daily, passive component leader Yageo has notified customers that starting from July 1, it will comprehensively increase the prices of its entire line of capacitor solutions, covering MLCC, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, and polymer aluminum capacitors, marking the largest increase in recent years. Industry insiders pointed out that this move mainly reflects the continuous rise in global manufacturing costs due to geopolitical factors, energy, raw materials, and international freight rates. As capacitor products account for about 50% of Yageo's revenue, the market expects this round of price increases to significantly boost its revenue and profits.Driven by strong demand for AI servers and automotive electronics, Yageo's stock price hit the daily limit yesterday, reaching 1,140 New Taiwan Dollars. However, due to recent volatility in the Taiwan stock market, the market reported a significant default settlement event involving Yageo's stock last night, with a total declared amount of 38.8 million New Taiwan Dollars, marking the 15th major default settlement case accumulated in Taiwan's listed market this year.

According to The Defiant, the defunct DeFi yield protocol Stream Finance has begun collecting potential creditor information through an online form in preparation for "potential global solutions." Stream first revealed its intention to liquidate in May. The debt structure is complex: direct holders of xUSD, xBTC, and xETH are one class of creditors, while institutional lenders (curators on Euler, Morpho, Silo, Gearbox) accepting Stream tokens as collateral are another.Research institution Yields and More estimates the direct debt exposure to be approximately $285 million, with the largest curator TelosC accounting for about $124 million and Elixir for about $68 million (which represents 65% of its deUSD stablecoin reserves). Stream has collected claims information but has not committed to a specific compensation plan, and the priority of creditors has yet to be determined. Stream is also involved in legal disputes with former operator Caleb McMeans.Last November, Stream disclosed that external fund managers had lost approximately $93 million in assets, leading to the de-pegging of xUSD and freezing about $160 million in deposits. xUSD is currently quoted at approximately $0.08, down about 92% from its pegged price.

Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour stated in an interview with Front Office Sports that he does not view Polymarket as a primary competitor, but is more concerned about the threats posed by CME Group, Robinhood, and sports betting operators. According to data from Bank of America analysts, Kalshi holds about 91% of the regulated prediction market share in the U.S., with approximately $1 billion of the $1.6 billion in open contracts in the industry, and has listed about 97% of active markets.In the past 30 days, Kalshi's trading volume was approximately $9.8 billion, close to Polymarket's $9.9 billion. CME launched FanDuel Predicts in partnership with FanDuel last December; Robinhood began shifting some contracts to its Rothera platform in collaboration with Susquehanna after building a prediction market based on the Kalshi exchange in 2025.Mansour called for Polymarket to be included in a regulatory framework, stating that insider trading cases on its offshore platform harm the entire industry. The CFTC released a 267-page rule proposal on June 10, intending to allow most sports contracts but prohibiting in-game betting and college pre-game sports, with a 45-day public comment period.

According to Barron's, the prediction market platform Kalshi announced a partnership with compliance service provider StarCompliance to provide financial institutions with real-time monitoring of employee prediction market trading. Under the partnership arrangement, institutions using the StarCompliance system can require employees to link their Kalshi accounts to monitor trading behavior and identify suspicious activities.This move aims to address financial institutions' compliance concerns regarding employees potentially using material non-public information to participate in prediction market trading, while also enhancing Kalshi's credibility among institutional clients such as banks and hedge funds. Reports indicate that the two parties may also expand to stricter compliance measures such as pre-trade approval in the future.
