U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce expressed views on the future regulation of perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and digital assets, with an overall tone that is relatively positive and open.Hester Peirce reviewed the Rule 611 trading transparency proposal that has been in the works for about 20 years, pointing out that the so-called "innovation exemption" mechanism will be intentionally set to be strict and limited, in order to balance market innovation and investor protection.Hester Peirce stated that a clearer regulatory framework should be adopted for new financial products such as tokenized securities, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets, rather than simply imposing restrictions or vague regulations. She also emphasized two core principles: self-custody and financial privacy should become fundamental rights in the future regulatory system and should be incorporated into the subsequent design of digital asset regulations.

"On-chain detective" ZachXBT published a case analysis stating that in a cryptocurrency asset case involving an Indian scam gang, the relevant individuals reported the case to law enforcement after their assets were frozen, drawing attention. The incident began when a user sought help, claiming that approximately 5.73 BTC (about $475,000) was frozen on Changelly in March 2025.Subsequent on-chain analysis revealed that these funds could be traced back to multiple social engineering attacks and theft cases related to Bitcoin ATMs targeting U.S. users, with a total amount involved exceeding $1 million and several elderly victims. The investigation showed that the individual provided multiple changing explanations for the source of the funds, including "loan," "boss transfer," and "investment from 2014-2015," and there were significant contradictions in the evidence chain.More concerning is that this user had previously filed a police report in India in December 2025, attempting to recover the frozen funds (case number 3207-P/2025). Subsequent on-chain evidence collection and email data analysis indicated that they might be a "mule" for transferring funds, with some bank documents inconsistent with their identity information. ZachXBT noted that such cases demonstrate that social engineering attacks and cross-border fund transfers continue to occur and remind users to avoid interacting with funds from suspicious sources to prevent triggering compliance freezes or legal risks.

According to The Block, executives from hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor stated that the market's trend of fully pushing Bitcoin towards ETFization may pose a long-term risk to the core principles of the crypto industry. According to the company's Chief Business Officer Danny Sanders during the BTC Prague event, the current global crypto user base is approximately 600 million, but only about 10% of users choose to self-custody their assets, with only about 12 to 13 million users using hardware wallets.Since the launch of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF in 2024, which has attracted over $53 billion in inflows, institutional allocation of Bitcoin has significantly increased. However, Sanders pointed out that this trend may also weaken users' behavior of directly holding private keys. He believes that self-custody is one of the core attributes of the Bitcoin system, but there are still significant challenges in terms of user experience and security thresholds, leading more users to prefer participating in the market through custodial tools like exchanges or ETFs.Sanders emphasized that the industry should focus on improving the usability and security of self-custody, rather than simply accepting the path of "putting Bitcoin into ETFs." He stated that if the long-term evolution leads to an ETF-dominated holding structure, it would undermine the foundational logic of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset, which could be the "least ideal outcome" for the industry.

According to PR Newswire, Canaan announced its Bitcoin mining and operational data for May 2026: the self-mined output for the month was 90 BTC, with an additional 24 BTC from customer payments, ending with approximately 1,867 BTC and 3,952 ETH on the balance sheet, setting a new historical high.The company's self-mined installed computing power at the end of the period was 10.05 EH/s, with operational computing power at 6.47 EH/s. The average energy efficiency of self-mined machines in North America improved to 17.9 J/TH, an optimization of about 11% year-on-year, while the global average energy efficiency was 23.7 J/TH, an increase of 13.5% year-on-year.Canaan also disclosed that its joint venture project with WindHQ in Texas was temporarily hindered by wildfires, with full recovery expected by mid-June, and it is expanding its "computing power heating" project in Northern Europe and collaborating with Tether on immersion cooling mining machines.

According to BBX data, Bitcoin fell to a new low of $61,300 this year yesterday, putting pressure on the cryptocurrency sector. Key signals have emerged from institutions and the legislative level, with the core dynamics as follows:Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR), publicly stated on June 4 that the current decline in Bitcoin is not due to a deterioration in BTC fundamentals, but rather a "phase rotation" of capital from Bitcoin to AI stocks, SpaceX IPO, and other emerging assets—"Bitcoin is not broken; it’s just temporarily not the main character in the momentum trade." Saylor also reiterated his position of continued accumulation. Previously, Strategy spent approximately $2.01 billion (average price $80,985) to acquire 24,869 BTC in the week from May 11 to 17, bringing their total holdings to 843,738 BTC with a total cost of about $63.87 billion (average price $75,700); currently, BTC has fallen below the cost line of $12,300, and all of the company's holdings are in a state of unrealized loss, but management has not publicly indicated any intention to reduce their positions.JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: $JPM) reported by CoinDesk on June 4 warned in its latest research report that the legislative time window for the CLARITY Act to be voted on by the full Senate is "rapidly narrowing." The wording discrepancies in the stablecoin yield provisions have evolved into the most critical unresolved obstacle for the bill—banks insist on retaining restrictions on "passive income," while the cryptocurrency industry strives for "activity incentive space." If a compromise cannot be reached between the two parties within this month, the timeline for the Senate to complete a 60-vote approval before July 4 will be completely invalidated; the report also pointed out that the capital siphoning effect from the SpaceX IPO and AI stocks has further suppressed institutions' willingness to allocate to BTC in the short term.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated that the capital markets are providing funding for AI infrastructure on an unprecedented scale, with approximately $400 billion raised in the past six months. Saylor pointed out that since May 14, there has been about $4 billion in outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, putting pressure on BTC prices. However, he believes this is a rotation of capital rather than damage to Bitcoin itself. Saylor stated, "Volatility creates opportunity."

Regarding the incident "DxSale accused of using a backdoor to withdraw $7.3 million in liquidity funds," the security company GoPlus stated that the attack may have been an inside job, and there is still $15.5 million in funds and LP urgently needing rescue. GoPlus recommends that the project team immediately check whether their project LP is locked in the contracts 0xEb3a9C56, 0x81E0eF68, 0x2D045410, 0x5b5e9448, and if so, take immediate measures to withdraw. Since the initial funding source was Bybit, KYC tracing is recommended; the final withdrawal channels are multiple Binance addresses, and it is suggested that the relevant security teams submit on-chain evidence to apply for freezing the attacker's address.GoPlus calls on the project to strengthen security mechanisms, stating that critical admin functions must have a time lock, and Owner permissions must use multi-signature. GoPlus emphasizes that as of now, DxSale has not issued any public incident response statement, and its silence is also worth noting.

In response to the pain points of trading US stock tokens on crypto platforms, Xie Jiayin recently expressed his views, stating that after Bitget entered UEX in the third quarter of last year, its market share of US stock tokens once reached 90%.

Polkadot posted on X that OpenGov is voting on significant changes to the network staking architecture. Referendum 1890 proposes that validators on Polkadot must lock at least 10,000 DOT as self-staking.This reform is a mandatory prerequisite for the next phase of staking upgrades, which include immunity from slashing for nominators and quick unbonding (approximately 24-48 hours instead of 28 days). The logic is to allow validators to absorb slashing risks directly through significant self-staking exposure, while nominators can continue to earn staking rewards without exposing their principal. If passed, Polkadot staking will eliminate two major barriers to participation, thereby reducing the risk for nominators and shortening exit times.
