In response to the recent community controversy surrounding Base, crypto KOL Rune questioned on the X platform, stating that Cobie's goal in taking over the Base App is to promote on-chain transactions, but the current management of Base is continuously undermining user trust, leading users to believe that "trusting anything related to Base for more than 24 hours is a mistake." Under this culture, it is difficult to attract new users.In response, Cobie stated that he took over the Base App and related Coinbase trading products a few days ago, but he is not responsible for the Base chain. He acknowledged that Coinbase has long had a distance from users, especially native crypto users, and that Base and Coinbase have overdrawn a lot of user trust due to some avoidable mistakes. He hopes to listen more to the voices of on-chain users in the future and create products that users truly want to use.Subsequently, Rune responded again, stating that Coinbase's biggest problem is not just the alienation from users, but the long-term neglect and even harm to its own users. He indicated that currently over 10,000 Base users have suffered about 99% asset loss due to trusting the Base/Coinbase management, and the management's attitude towards related events has further exacerbated community dissatisfaction.Rune believes that Base has the infrastructure to become the best Layer2 in the crypto industry, but what is truly lacking is a leadership willing to take responsibility for users. He expressed hope that Cobie could change this situation, but emphasized that the current issues with Base are not just about damaged trust, but that community trust has almost completely eroded.

According to CoinDesk, Runestone co-founder Leonidas announced that it is launching an open-source Bitcoin client called DOG Mode, aimed at bypassing BIP 110's restrictions on non-financial data. DOG Mode will increase the maximum weight unit for standard transactions from 400,000 to 3,900,000, close to the entire block capacity, and will reduce the dust limit from 294 to 546 satoshis down to 1 satoshi. Leonidas stated that removing the dust limit will free up approximately $25 million in idle funds.The BIP 110 proposal restricts arbitrary data through user-activated soft forks, requiring 55% miner support, which is currently close to zero. DOG Mode does not require any consensus or voting; it only needs to change the forwarding rules of a single node. If enough nodes run and miners accept, transactions can be confirmed. Leonidas mentioned that DOG Mode deviates from Core to a much lesser extent than Knots, and there is currently no code repository or version. He calls on developers to contribute code and miners to add support. The price of DOG tokens has dropped 1.2% in the last 24 hours.

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) announced an investment in AI Agent security startup Runta, which aims to help businesses manage and constrain AI agents like "raising children." The specific investment amount has not been disclosed.Runta founder Guanlan Dai previously worked on the technical team at Cloudflare and was a founding engineer at API connection startup Kong. He stated that AI agents share similarities with growing children: they have the ability to perform tasks autonomously but also require boundaries, supervision, and permission management. Dai believes that just as parents provide home safety protection for children and limit their access to credit cards, businesses also need to restrict the important documents that AI agents can access, the range of operations they are allowed to perform, and the amount of disposable funds available at one time.Runta is developing a set of "AI Agent guardianship" infrastructure to help businesses manage AI agents' permissions, security risks, and behavioral boundaries, preventing autonomous AI systems from causing data leaks, erroneous operations, or financial losses during task execution. As businesses increasingly deploy AI agents with autonomous decision-making capabilities, establishing a trustworthy and secure agent management system is becoming a new infrastructure requirement. Runta aims to become the "parental control layer" of the AI Agent era, providing capabilities such as agent identity management, permission control, risk limitation, and operational supervision for businesses. Industry insiders believe that as AI agents evolve from simple assistants to autonomous entities capable of operating business systems, handling transactions, and executing complex tasks, the infrastructure market surrounding agent security, governance, and compliance may experience rapid growth.

The total circulation of stablecoins has fallen by about $10 billion from the peak in May 2026 to about $312 billion, with a decrease of $7.7 billion in June alone, marking the largest single-month dollar decline since the Terra-Luna event in 2022. The supply of Tether USDT decreased from about $190 billion to about $184 billion, while Circle USDC fell from nearly $80 billion to about $73 billion. However, the overall decline is only about 3%, far lower than the over 26% contraction during the bear market from 2022 to 2023.Market participants believe this fluctuation is a normal adjustment within a strong long-term growth trend, as the market value of stablecoins has doubled in two years. There was also a decline of about $9 billion from late 2025 to early 2026, followed by a return to historical highs. Positive factors include regulatory progress such as the GENIUS Act driving new competitors into the market, the circulation growth of regulated products like Global Dollar (USDG) under Paxos, and major financial institutions still expecting the stablecoin market to reach trillions of dollars by the end of this decade.

The security analysis platform GoPlus tweeted regarding the incident where "a user exchanged approximately 1126 ETH (about 2.01 million USD) for 5776 LIT (about 14,000 USD) on Uniswap, resulting in a loss of nearly 2 million USD." The core reason for this incident was not a sandwich attack, but rather backrunner arbitrage within the same block. The routing contract injected a large amount of WETH into a liquidity-poor AVAIL/WETH trading pool, causing the user to buy AVAIL at a severely deviated market price (about 120 times the reasonable price). Subsequently, within the same block, the backrunner executed a reverse trade on the pool with a minimal amount of AVAIL at the real price, withdrawing approximately 1072 WETH, and paid most of it (about 1018 ETH) as builder payment to Titan Builder.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, recently published a lengthy article sharing his thoughts on the investment decision-making system in the AI era, emphasizing that human insights still hold irreplaceable value in financial markets.Dalio believes that investing is essentially a "value-added near-zero-sum" competitive environment. When certain information becomes widely recognized, its investment value often declines rapidly. Therefore, even the most advanced AI systems are insufficient for investors to rely on completely or to follow blindly; the true competitive advantage still lies in unique human understanding and deep insights.Drawing on Bridgewater's 50 years of development experience, Dalio suggests that decision-making should be based on a clear, understandable, and verifiable principle system. He states that principled thinking does not rely on intuition or experiential judgment, but rather systematizes decision-making standards by analyzing contexts and causal relationships, recording core principles, and utilizing historical data for verification, ultimately transforming them into computable and automatically executable decision systems.He also points out that the formation of principles cannot solely depend on data mining or directly asking AI, but must be based on logical reasoning and an understanding of the operational laws of the real world.Dalio describes this process as a "collaborative game" between humans and AI. In this model, AI provides systematic suggestions based on established principles, while humans engage in independent thinking according to their own principle framework. Both parties continuously optimize the decision-making system through comparison, discussion, and logical verification.He believes that truly valuable principles should transcend time and geography, enduring scrutiny across different historical cycles and market environments. If a principle fails, it is necessary to re-examine the underlying causal relationships and continuously revise it.Dalio states that he has already applied this method in his family office to fully leverage the new generation of AI technology and plans to continue sharing related methodologies with the outside world. He also reminds market participants that as AI technology continues to evolve, the ability to effectively combine artificial intelligence with principled thinking may become an important watershed for future competitiveness.

According to crypto KOL @_FORAB and feedback from several users participating in the xStocks (Kraken's tokenized stock platform) SpaceX IPO, the actual allocation received was far below expectations. Users reported that most only received about 4.2786 SPCXx (tokenized stock of SpaceX), which was approximately $600 at the time of pricing. Some users have already received refund notifications from Kraken and were charged a $600 fee.Previously, xStocks opened the channel for users to participate in the SpaceX IPO, promising real share allocation. However, due to the overall compression of retail quotas for this SpaceX IPO and demand far exceeding supply, the actual allocation through the xStocks channel was significantly reduced, leading to widespread dissatisfaction in the community. As of the time of publication, xStocks has not yet made a formal statement regarding this reduction in allocation.
