Odaily Seer Channel monitoring shows that the probability on Polymarket for "Will Anthropic's valuation reach $1.1 trillion before June 30" has risen to 67%, up 30% in 24 hours.This event will be settled based on Anthropic's private market valuation data released by Nasdaq Private Market (NPM). If Anthropic's NPM Price reaches or exceeds the specified amount between the market creation and June 30, 2026, the event will be settled as "Yes"; otherwise, it will be settled as "No".Anthropic's latest funding round was completed on May 28, achieving a post-money valuation of $965 billion after its $65 billion Series H round, just one step away from common short-term thresholds like $1 trillion. With this prediction market set to settle on June 30, traders are monitoring secondary market liquidity and whether any new primary financing or tender offer activity could push its implied valuation higher within the remaining window. Recent estimates show Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate is approaching $47 billion, continuing to support investor demand. However, no new funding announcements have emerged since late May, and IPO preparations remain longer-term.Odaily Seer Channel continues to follow prediction markets, seeing changes before pricing.
JustLend DAO has officially launched SBM V2 (Supply & Borrow Market V2), introducing an innovative isolated-collateral lending protocol featuring a dual-layer architecture comprising Treasury and Markets, along with an adaptive curve interest rate model. Under the new architecture, the Treasury aggregates liquidity, while each Market supports independent lending and bears its own risk exposure—achieving risk isolation. Borrowing rates dynamically adjust based on utilization rates, and each Market operates independently, effectively preventing cross-Market risk contagion. This upgrade significantly enhances the protocol’s risk management capabilities and capital efficiency, further strengthening security and flexibility in multi-asset, isolated-lending scenarios.

According to CoinDesk, Ethereum core developers have entered the final development phase of the Glamsterdam upgrade and are currently running development networks (devnets) that incorporate all planned Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs); once complete, the upgrade will advance to public testnets. Parithosh Jayanthi, a core developer at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that Glamsterdam “could be the largest fork upgrade since the Merge,” fundamentally altering many foundational assumptions of Ethereum and laying the groundwork for large-scale future scaling. It is expected to go live in the second half of 2026, though the exact date remains undetermined. Key components of this upgrade include: First, embedded Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS, EIP-7732), which moves off-chain block building and proposing processes on-chain to reduce MEV-related manipulation risks and centralization concerns; Second, block-level access lists (EIP-7928), enabling blocks to pre-declare accounts and smart contract data they need to access, thereby improving block execution efficiency and predictability; Third, broad gas fee repricing—costs for high-compute operations will decrease while state storage costs will increase—to more accurately reflect resource consumption and ensure compatibility with zero-knowledge proof-based scaling solutions. Currently, the development team is focused on testing, finalizing specifications, and community communication.
Squid, a cross-chain infrastructure platform, has announced the integration of RLUSD, the stablecoin issued by Ripple. Users can now swap into or out of RLUSD in a single transaction across different blockchains and digital assets.Through this integration, RLUSD will gain access to over 100 blockchains and more than 20,000 tokens supported by Squid. Users can directly exchange assets such as USDC, USDT, ETH, and XRP for RLUSD without needing to manually bridge chains, wrap tokens, or execute multiple transactions.RLUSD is natively issued on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, and has been extended to Ethereum Layer 2 networks such as the XRPL EVM Sidechain, Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain via Wormhole's Native Token Transfer standard. Squid's routing layer sits atop these underlying transfer mechanisms, allowing users to utilize RLUSD irrespective of the specific issuance chain.Squid states that its intent-based routing system, which uses market makers to fulfill orders with liquidity on the destination chain, can settle transactions within seconds and is compatible with various cross-chain messaging and issuance standards. Beyond end-users, developers can also integrate RLUSD through Squid's tools for applications including cross-chain payments, treasury management, user onboarding, and DeFi.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) stated that, at today’s monetary policy meeting, the BOJ’s Policy Board reviewed developments and operations in the Japanese government bond (JGB) market and discussed future guidelines for JGB purchases. In principle, long-term interest rates should be determined by financial markets; therefore, it is appropriate for the central bank to conduct JGB purchases in a predictable manner while retaining sufficient flexibility to support JGB market stability. Based on this approach, and to improve the efficiency and stability of the JGB market, the BOJ decided—by a vote of 7 to 1—to implement the following measures: Starting now through March 2027, the BOJ will reduce its monthly JGB purchase target by approximately ¥200 billion per natural quarter, in principle. From April 2027 onward, its monthly JGB purchase target will be maintained at approximately ¥2 trillion. Should long-term interest rates rise rapidly, the BOJ will respond flexibly—for example, by increasing the scale of JGB purchases or conducting fixed-rate JGB purchase operations (both of which are exempt from the monthly JGB purchase target), as well as conducting funding operations against pooled collateral. Furthermore, the BOJ will no longer conduct mid-term reviews of its direct JGB purchase program. However, the BOJ stands ready to adjust the pace of JGB purchases at future monetary policy meetings, as deemed necessary, based on the fundamental principles guiding JGB purchases and other factors—including developments in the JGB market.

10x Research released a report stating that the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have continuously shifted over the past decade, indicating that holding altcoins long-term is not the optimal strategy—momentum trading is more critical. A bullish stance can be maintained if an altcoin trades above its 6-month or 12-month moving average; once it falls below, investors should decisively reduce positions. Using a dual-screening framework based on fundamental catalysts and risk management, the firm has currently identified six altcoins exhibiting strong bullish catalysts and meeting risk-management criteria. Historical data shows such a carefully selected portfolio is likely to significantly outperform Bitcoin.
