With the launch of the global genesis co-construction phase, the project will further connect users, liquidity, and application scenarios, accelerating the development and improvement of the USD1 ecological network.

According to GMGN data, the market capitalization of the Solana ecosystem meme coin ANSEM briefly surpassed $180 million, setting a new historical high, and has now fallen back to $172 million, with a 24-hour increase of 24% and a 24-hour trading volume of $30.8 million.Meme coin trading is highly volatile, largely relying on market sentiment and speculative concepts, with no actual value or use cases; investors should be aware of the risks.

According to BBX data, the prediction market faced a dual attack yesterday, with traditional exchange infrastructure accelerating its on-chain transition. The core dynamics are as follows:The prediction market/event contract ecosystem where Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: $HOOD) operates suffered a dual regulatory blow yesterday: first, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a comprehensive investigation into Polymarket (privately held), covering its social media activities and suspected wash trading behaviors; second, a Michigan court ruled to prohibit Kalshi (privately held) from offering sports betting services to residents in Michigan. Although these two incidents directly target Polymarket and Kalshi, their strategic importance to Robinhood cannot be ignored—Robinhood provides event contract products linked to KalshiEx LLC or ForecastEx LLC through its subsidiary Robinhood Derivatives LLC, making it the largest distribution channel for prediction markets among regulated brokers in the U.S. The CFTC's escalation of enforcement investigations into similar platforms will directly impact Robinhood's event contract business compliance framework and product expansion speed; in June, the average daily trading volume in this sector reached a historic record.Nasdaq, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NDAQ) announced yesterday that it has chosen Pyth Network (on-chain price oracle protocol) as its on-chain distribution partner for TotalView (Nasdaq's full market depth data product), marking the first time Nasdaq has integrated its core institutional-level market data into a blockchain network—TotalView provides full-level buy and sell quotes and transaction data for the U.S. stock market, historically only available to traditional financial institutions (subscription-based); on-chain distribution means that DeFi protocols, decentralized exchanges, and smart contracts can now access Nasdaq-level real-time equity market data as an on-chain pricing basis for the first time. The Pyth Network token (PYTH) subsequently rose by over 6%, with the market interpreting this as a historic fusion point between traditional securities market infrastructure and decentralized finance.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Strategy's preferred stock MSTR has fallen 78% from its peak, while Bitcoin has dropped 51% from its peak. The average cost basis for Strategy's 847,363 BTC holdings is $75,651, with a total cost of $64.1 billion. The current BTC price has fallen below this cost line for the first time since the bear market of 2022. The additional decline of MSTR relative to BTC has reached about 28 percentage points, approaching the upper end of the historical range, but has not yet touched the extreme of an 89% retracement from the 2022 low.Meanwhile, Strategy's purchasing strategy has clearly shifted to a defensive stance: the weekly BTC purchase volume has been cut by about two-thirds, with less than 11% of the $335.5 million raised through stock issuance used to buy BTC, and the remainder transferred to dollar reserves. At the end of May, Strategy also conducted its first net sell since 2022, selling 32 BTC to pay STRC dividends. Adler pointed out that the main risk currently lies in BTC remaining below the treasury cost line of $75,000, which would block the financing channel for ATM issuance by compressing the MSTR premium. However, nearly all of Strategy's debt is in convertible bonds, with no additional margin risk; the baseline scenario is the loss of marginal buyers rather than cascading liquidations. The real pressure point lies in the company's transition from selling stock to systematically selling BTC itself to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest.

According to The Block, Bitcoin miner revenue continues to decline, with the 7-day moving average dropping to about $30,000,000 per day, down from over $50,000,000 last summer. The contribution from transaction fees has become negligible, at less than $250,000 per day. The current trading price of BTC is about $62,500, significantly lower than JPMorgan's estimated production cost of around $78,000, a gap that has persisted for five months, the longest in this cycle. Production costs have historically been seen as a soft price floor, and currently, about 20% of miners are operating at a loss.Network-level pressure is becoming evident. Over the past six months, the beta value of mining difficulty relative to BTC price has risen to 0.62, with high-cost miners switching off their machines based on price fluctuations rather than continuing to operate at a loss. In the second week of June, difficulty decreased by 10%, marking the second similar adjustment this year. Publicly listed mining companies have sold over 32,000 BTC in the first quarter to cover operating costs, rather than further reducing production capacity.

Bitcoin miner revenue has continued to decline over the past year, with the current 7-day moving average daily income at approximately $30 million, significantly lower than last summer's level of over $50 million. Among this, transaction fees have dropped to less than $250,000 per day, almost negligible compared to block subsidies.Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin is around $62,500, below JPMorgan's estimated production cost of about $78,000. This state of being below production costs has persisted for five months, the longest duration in this cycle. Historically, production costs are often seen as a soft bottom area for Bitcoin prices. Currently, it is estimated that about 20% of miners are in a loss position at the current price, and the pressure is beginning to reflect at the network level.Over the past six months, the sensitivity of mining difficulty to Bitcoin prices has risen to 0.62, indicating that high-cost miners are increasingly inclined to turn off their mining machines based on price fluctuations rather than continue mining at a loss. In the second week of June, Bitcoin mining difficulty decreased by 10%, marking the second occurrence of a similar magnitude adjustment this year. A comparable adjustment also occurred in the previous quarter, with both instances happening during periods when prices remained below production costs, indicating that pressure on the miner side is deepening.

Qualcomm announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Modular to strengthen its generative AI and agent-based AI software foundation for data centers and edge environments. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.Qualcomm stated that Modular provides an open AI-native software stack that enables AI to run efficiently across different hardware architectures. Its unified platform supports CPU, GPU, NPU, and custom ASIC architectures without the need to rewrite models for each type of accelerator. For developers and enterprises, this means they can build once and deploy in different environments while reducing overall ownership costs.Qualcomm noted that as AI scales, efficiency rather than capability is becoming the limiting factor. Performance per watt will impact inference costs, and costs determine whether AI can scale. This acquisition will further help Qualcomm provide a chip-agnostic computing layer between devices, edge, and data centers, improving performance per watt, increasing hardware flexibility, and expanding the open developer ecosystem.

Gate announces the launch of a new USD ecosystem and upgrades its two major product modules, Gate Pay and Exchange, further integrating USD asset management, capital flow, and digital asset usage scenarios. Currently, this feature is gradually being opened to users. After updating the app to version 8.24.0 or above, users can manage USD assets, recharge USD, trade digital assets, withdraw USD, and transfer funds between accounts within Gate. Through the new USD account, users can hold and manage USD assets and directly use their USD balance to participate in digital asset trading.At the same time, Gate Pay has completed a product design upgrade, optimizing the display of accounts, assets, and capital flow, enhancing the clarity and smoothness of fund management. Both the Gate App and Gate Pay now support USD recharge and withdrawal functions. Users can recharge USD to the platform via SWIFT bank wire transfer and withdraw USD funds to their bank accounts. Meanwhile, users can also directly use their USD balance to purchase cryptocurrencies or sell their held crypto assets with one click to exchange for USD balance, achieving convenient conversion between USD assets and digital assets.This upgrade by Gate aims to integrate USD asset management and digital asset usage processes into the same product system, covering core aspects such as recharge, trading, withdrawal, and fund transfer, providing global users with a more efficient one-stop USD fund service. In the future, Gate will continue to expand the usage scenarios of USD assets and fiat currency service capabilities, continuously providing global users with a more convenient and efficient fund management experience.

According to analyst Darkfost, the realized price of short-term holders (STH) of Bitcoin is currently about $74,800, while BTC has been running below this cost line for eight consecutive months, with short-term holders still generally under pressure from losses. Currently, the average unrealized loss for STH is about 14.4%, a significant improvement from over 34% in February of this year.It is noteworthy that the cost price for STH has decreased from $95,700 to $74,800, indicating that some short-term holders have continued to accumulate during the decline, thereby lowering the overall holding cost. In this cycle, the unrealized profit for STH peaked at 47% in March 2024, while when BTC reached an all-time high in October 2025, this metric was only 11%, showing that the market's profit level is significantly weaker than in previous stages. The STH cost price of $74,800 remains a key resistance level. If BTC can regain this level, it may indicate a positive shift in market structure; however, before that, this area is more likely to become a selling pressure zone for short-term holders looking to break even.

According to Cointelegraph, former Bank for International Settlements President Agustín Carstens stated at the Point Zero Forum that stablecoins can promote financial innovation and inclusivity while reducing costs.He pointed out that efforts should be made to create conditions for the coexistence of fiat currency and stablecoins. If we hope to establish a global system where stablecoins interact with global currencies, this must be a global cooperative effort. Improved regulation and a fair competitive environment for issuers can help stablecoins thrive dramatically.

Status Network announced that it will merge its gas-free and privacy L2 technology into the Linea ecosystem, becoming the native distribution layer for the latter, and will no longer launch an independent mainnet.
