According to Bloomberg, the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) has approved a position paper on the legal framework for the digital euro, paving the way for negotiations with member state governments and the European Commission on the final rules. The plan will advance both the online and offline versions of the digital euro, with the European Central Bank aiming to complete the launch by 2029 and to conduct a pilot within the next 12 months to validate the infrastructure in real-world scenarios. Regulators hope that the digital euro issued by the European Central Bank will reduce reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and dollar-denominated stablecoins, while providing a "secure European domestic option" for retail payments without eliminating physical cash.

The recently released policy simulation report "Europe 2031" points out that, constrained by a shortage of computing power and reliance on external models, Europe may face the risk of economic and political marginalization in the global AI competition if it does not make significant strategic adjustments. The report notes that Europe currently accounts for only 5% of global AI computing power, lacking leverage in technological competition, and its advocated "technological sovereignty" may be difficult to achieve due to insufficient funding and lagging policies, even facing the risk of losing autonomous control over core technology companies (such as ASML).To address the aforementioned challenges, the report proposes a series of countermeasures. It suggests that Europe should mobilize public and private capital on a large scale, focusing investments on foundational computing infrastructure such as energy, semiconductors, and data centers; and form a technology alliance with countries like the UK and Japan to integrate supply chain advantages for international negotiation leverage. Additionally, the report calls for Europe to advance labor market reforms to adapt to the proliferation of AI and tighten scrutiny of foreign investment in local manufacturing to consolidate its existing advantages in industrial AI and robotics.

Anza CEO Brennan Watt stated that the Solana-related SIMD proposals are expected to be advanced and completed within this year. Among them, SIMD-123 has been approved and is nearing the code completion stage; the draft discussion for SIMD-547 is essentially in the same direction as SIMD-553, while both SIMD-553 and SIMD-550 have received concept acknowledgment (concept ACK) from Anza. If SIMD-550 and SIMD-553 are implemented together, it will increase the annual inflation reduction rate of SOL from 15% to 30%. Under the current price assumptions, this could reduce token emissions by approximately $1.36 billion over six years, while increasing the daily SOL burn rate from about 650 tokens (approximately $47,000) to a maximum of about 9,000 tokens (approximately $646,000).

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin and gold fell simultaneously as the market bets on rising interest rates pressuring non-yielding assets. Bitcoin dropped about 7% this week, while gold fell below $4,200 per ounce.The rebound was mainly driven by short covering, with over $500 million in bearish bets liquidated in the past week, while spot demand has not yet returned significantly. Traders are focusing on Wednesday's U.S. inflation data and the policy stance of the new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh. If inflation remains high, it could prompt interest rates to stay elevated, further pressuring risk assets. The rare simultaneous decline of Bitcoin and gold undermines their rationale as macro hedging tools.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, stated that the attack Asterix encountered is similar to that of Flooring Protocol and BMP yesterday (the underlying protocols are DN404 and BT404), with high-level NFT ID displacement operations overflowing and being reused. It seems the attackers are looking for common vulnerabilities.It is reported that Asterix disclosed an attack incident affecting the ASTX token contract yesterday, stating that its Uniswap v4 liquidity pool was attacked on June 8, with attackers stealing approximately 30 ETH through 242 transactions. The vulnerability originated from a lack of token ID restriction checks on approval operations in an early version of DN404. Attackers exploited the outdated token approval to repeatedly sell tokens in the pool to obtain ETH, and then extracted equivalent tokens through forged IDs, leading to a cycle that drained the funds.Smart contracts are immutable and cannot be patched. The team advises users to stop interacting with the current pool and tokens and is planning to migrate to deploy secure tokens. The team suspects that the attackers used a jailbroken AI tool for fuzz testing to discover unconventional logic paths.

According to Forbes, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned about the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, stating that if stablecoin issuers are allowed to provide returns to users in a manner similar to bank deposit interest, the related model could eventually collapse.Dimon stated that the bill allows cryptocurrency companies to offer returns similar to deposit interest through stablecoin accounts without the corresponding regulatory protections, and the banking industry would not accept such arrangements. He said, "I am not worried about stablecoins themselves, but if this happens, I will not participate, and it will ultimately collapse."The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the regulatory framework for the U.S. cryptocurrency industry and delineate the responsibilities of regulatory agencies. Previously, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the U.S. Digital Asset Advisory Committee, stated that the Trump administration planned to push for the bill's passage before July 4.
