Famous trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who successfully predicted the Bitcoin crash in 2018, stated yesterday that Bitcoin is currently forming an expanding triangle pattern, which is relatively common and usually reliable in Bitcoin's history, with a target based on projecting the height of the pattern from the breakout point.According to the measurement rules for the expanding triangle: Target = height of the pattern projected downward from the breakout point. The attached diagram shows a widening triangle (with the upper and lower bounds gradually diverging). The breakout point is roughly around $74,000 (marked as 74,395 in the diagram), and after projecting the height of the pattern (from the highest point to the lowest point of the widest part of the triangle), the arrow points to the area around $56,000.

a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of events, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time estimates of the probabilities of future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets have the ability to update in real-time and incentivize participants to bet their capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.The article points out that prediction markets are used not only by companies for product launches and research experiment forecasts but also by the media as a source of "crowd wisdom," covering a wide range of events from geopolitical issues to AI model performance. Its core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements. However, prediction markets still face challenges related to infrastructure and market design, including event verification, contract settlement, participant information adequacy, and potential manipulation risks.a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets are expected to become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding financial and societal insights into future events.

According to CNBC, SpaceX officially submitted its IPO prospectus last week, but its CEO Musk recently posted on social media, revealing significant discrepancies between the details of the company's agreement with Anthropic for computing power rental and the content of the prospectus.The prospectus shows that the cooperation between the two parties will last until 2029, with a monthly rent of $125 million; however, Musk stated that the agreement is only a short-term lease of 180 days, and both parties can terminate the cooperation with 90 days' notice.This discrepancy makes it difficult for investors to assess the company's valuation, and industry experts have raised questions about the regulatory compliance of the information disclosure. Additionally, analysts pointed out that the prospectus is missing several key data points.SpaceX is expected to go public on June 12, with the company's valuation currently exceeding $1 trillion, and it continues to operate at a loss.

a16z crypto general partner Guy Wuollet pointed out that the financial industry is undergoing a "digital migration" similar to the era of cloud computing, with blockchain becoming the core infrastructure driving this transformation. Wall Street's adoption of blockchain is not driven by the idea of "decentralization," but rather by the practical needs for counterparty risk management, settlement efficiency, and fair ordering mechanisms.The so-called "digital assets" essentially represent the process of migrating the underlying architecture of the financial system onto the blockchain, similar to the transition of enterprise IT systems from on-premises deployment to cloud services. When financial assets operate on programmable shared infrastructure, it brings the core advantage of "composability," allowing assets to be freely combined and expanded like software, significantly reducing development costs and enhancing the overall innovation efficiency of the financial system. This trend will drive traditional finance from a "closed reconciliation system" to an "on-chain coordination network," and blockchain technology will gradually become a standard component of the financial infrastructure layer in this process.

Broker-dealers will be able to provide research coverage for more listed companies, and the state securities law registration and qualification requirements for multi-state registered offerings will be excluded at the federal level.Additionally, the proposal suggests raising the threshold for large accelerated filers from $700 million to $2 billion, with the stipulation that companies will not be included in this category based on market capitalization for at least 60 months post-IPO.

According to the blockchain security organization SlowMist (@SlowMist_Team), a highly complex npm worm named "Mini Shai-Hulud" is spreading through well-known developer projects such as TanStack, UiPath, and DraftLab, as monitored by their threat monitoring system MistEye. Attackers hijack GitHub credentials to publish malicious packages disguised as legitimate updates, embedding a hidden script router_init.js that runs silently in CI/CD environments like GitHub Actions, specifically designed to steal CI/CD keys, cloud infrastructure keys, and cryptocurrency wallet information, using GitHub's own infrastructure for data exfiltration.SlowMist has synchronized relevant threat intelligence (IOC) with clients and recommends that projects using the affected packages immediately check their CI/CD pipelines for the presence of the router_init.js file, rotate all exposed GitHub, cloud service, and cryptocurrency credentials, and continuously monitor for abnormal background activities in the development environment.
