Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalls in his new book that from the very beginning, the positioning of BNB was larger than the Binance exchange itself. He wrote in the white paper: BNB does not represent equity.

Ethereum founder Vitalik stated, "I think it's a good thing for the Ethereum community to have a bolder and more open mindset, especially regarding the application layer and how we view our place in the world. We should not compromise on core attributes: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security (CROPS). Especially at the application layer and in the interface between Ethereum and the outside world, we should be more willing to thoroughly rethink various concepts and step out of our comfort zone.Last year, we began to prioritize privacy and give it equal importance to other types of security. This means that the Ethereum application stack will undergo fundamental changes, as the entire stack has not been built around privacy so far. Great, let's build a completely different Ethereum application stack. An example this year is rethinking the role of L2 from scratch and determining which types of L2 can truly create the greatest synergy and benefits with Ethereum. This also includes cultural factors.For me and others, this is an important part of the "milady" concept. Write down your inherent notions of "decency," crumple them up, and burn them. This mental cleansing will lead to an intellectual cleansing, thereby sparking greater creativity and broadening perspectives. For a long time, our algorithm on Ethereum has been: we have an existing ecosystem, what should we do next to make it better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have a fantastic L1 layer, and it will become even better; we have more and more tools, including those developed inside and outside the ecosystem; based on what we currently know, what is the most valuable?If you were to write the section on applications from the 2014 Ethereum white paper, starting from first principles in areas like DeFi, decentralized social, and identity verification, what would you write? At the very least, please exclude all path dependency issues, assuming the Ethereum chain is currently unused, and you are the first to propose or build the first applications, and see what you would ultimately write. Even if you are currently building existing applications, please do this. This is the secret to revitalizing Ethereum."

According to market disclosure data, Bitmine, the ETH treasury company, has an unrealized loss of up to $6.6 billion in its ETH holdings. The company's chairman, Tom Lee, responded on the X platform, stating that some market views misunderstand the operational logic of the Ethereum treasury. Bitmine's core goal is to track ETH prices and strive for outperformance over a complete market cycle. It is normal for ETH prices to decline in sync during a downturn in the crypto market.The "unrealized losses" in ETH holdings that Bitmine is experiencing at this stage are not a systemic flaw but rather a part of the product design. He also questioned whether similar criticism should be directed at index ETFs that incur losses during downturns.Tom Lee previously emphasized that Bitmine has no liabilities, and given the strengthening fundamentals of Ethereum, the recent market pullback is "very attractive." In the long term, Ethereum will still be an important infrastructure for the future financial system.

Vitalik Buterin proposed the main patterns for the future of on-chain mechanism design: mechanisms similar to prediction markets that maximize openness and accountability (anyone can buy and sell, good decisions make money, bad decisions lose money), suitable for being a "decentralized execution layer"; decentralized, diversified, non-tokenized preference settings (anonymous voting, preferably MACI to prevent collusion), maximizing intrinsic motivation space, avoiding token holders from monopolizing control. Prediction markets are the best primitive for achieving "decentralized governance."

According to market news, an unknown contract on the BSC chain was exploited, and the hacker executed two reverse transactions through a flaw in the "burn pair" mechanism, ultimately resulting in a loss of approximately $100,000.The attacker first drained PGNLZ, then triggered the destruction of PGNLP and manipulated the price, thereby siphoning off most of the USDT from the liquidity pool.

Currently, there are no registered cryptocurrency exchanges under Russian law. The Central Bank of Russia hopes that legal amendments to regulate exchanges and cryptocurrency traders can be completed by July 1. The Central Bank of Russia plans to hold intermediary institutions in the crypto market accountable for illegal activities starting from July 1, 2027.
