Ripple has announced a new toolkit for developers to build "agentic payments" applications on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), enabling AI agents to execute automated financial transactions.Ripple stated that AI agents are no longer a future concept; they are already actively participating in paying for computing power, settling invoices, and completing transactions without human intervention. As the application of AI agents expands, the market is accelerating the construction of machine-oriented payment infrastructure, including wallets and stablecoin payment channels, allowing AI to autonomously handle service payments and asset trading.This week, Robinhood also launched a related initiative, allowing users to try stock trading executed by AI agents, with plans to expand into the crypto asset sector in the future; MetaMask has also released a non-custodial wallet solution for AI agents.Ripple pointed out that traditional payment systems are primarily designed for human-initiated and approved processes, whereas AI agents require infrastructure that enables rapid settlement, predictable outcomes, and no need for manual approval. It emphasized that its new toolkit also supports payments based on the x402 protocol, allowing settlement using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD).Meanwhile, the IC3 team, composed of researchers from multiple universities, stated that while combining AI with blockchain can achieve automated transactions, AI agents remain highly dependent on humans and the underlying infrastructure and do not possess complete autonomy.

WLFI treasury company AI Financial Corporation has disclosed that the company currently holds WLFI tokens worth approximately $380 million, of which about half can be used for collateral, staking, or lending transactions.According to the Form 8-K filed today, 3,321,690,994 WLFI (worth approximately $180 million) are immediately available, and these tokens are expected to be fully transferable by August 12, 2026. The remaining 3,583,585,650 WLFI are subject to a 12-month contractual lock-up and will also unlock on the same date. The above valuations are based on a WLFI price of $0.055 (as of 19:00 Eastern Time Monday).CEO Tony Isaac emphasized that the availability of usable tokens does not mean the company intends to sell them; WLFI is viewed as a strategic asset to optimize the balance sheet and support the company's liquidity. He stated that the availability of these tokens helps alleviate the going concern uncertainty disclosed in the recent Form 10-Q, and the company expects to have sufficient funds to maintain operations and fulfill its obligations for at least the next 12 months.AI Financial describes itself as a fintech company, providing blockchain-based payment, trading, and settlement infrastructure with cumulative transaction volume exceeding $8 billion. The company has a market capitalization of approximately $94.91 million, and its stock price has fallen 93% over the past year to $0.68, with liquidity challenges persisting. (Investing)
As user demand for trading foreign exchange, gold, indices, and other assets continues to rise, Bitget’s CFD segment has achieved a single-day trading volume exceeding $1 billion, representing a 25% increase since early May. Previously, Bitget announced the launch of its zero-fee CFD mode. Under this mode, users are exempt from trading commissions when trading CFD products and are charged via standard spreads.

Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, released a research report stating that, based on multiple on-chain valuation metrics, Bitcoin’s current price is below its long-term average, indicating it is undervalued—though not to the same extent as previous cycle lows, such as those following the FTX collapse.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev announced that the company's brokerage and clearing business division, Robinhood Securities, has been approved to act as an IPO underwriter. It is currently unclear which specific regulatory agency completed this approval, but the relevant regulation of the IPO process typically involves the FINRA and the SEC.This move represents a further upgrade based on Robinhood's existing IPO Access business. Through IPO Access, Robinhood users can participate in subscribing to shares of companies about to go public. The underwriter, however, assumes a more core role, not only assisting private companies in completing the listing process but also acting as an intermediary between the issuer and investors.

today, the first enterprise-level consumer application product built on XAUE, the XAUE Gold Gift Card, has officially been launched.The product uses digital gold XAU₮ (Tether Gold) and its yield layer XAUE (XAU-Earn) as the underlying assets, overcoming the limitations of traditional physical gold, such as inconvenience in carrying and high transaction costs, while offering interest-earning and physical redemption capabilities.It is reported that after the gift card recipient chooses to hold XAUE, they can obtain an estimated 1.5% to 3% annualized yield based on the gold standard before redeeming the physical asset. The scheduled redemption service for XAU₮ and XAUE into physical gold is planned to launch in July 2026. The product targets scenarios such as corporate gifting and brand events, aiming to bring tokenized gold into real-world business and daily life.

Gate has officially launched the first project under its IPO Access program, with the initial offering being SpaceX. Users can now submit indicative subscription applications through the Gate platform to participate in IPO investment opportunities for popular companies. This project supports subscription using USDT, with a minimum indicative subscription amount of 100 USDT and a maximum of 500,000 USDT.The activity adopts an "Indicative Subscription" mechanism, where the platform will calculate the allotment weight based on the user's average locked position during the subscription period. Ultimately, users may receive full allotment, partial allotment, or no allotment, with the specific outcome determined by the project's issuance situation and the actual allotment quota obtained by the platform. After users are allotted shares in the IPO, the corresponding stocks will be directly distributed to their Gate stock accounts. Following the allotment, the relevant stocks will be listed on the Gate stock trading section on June 12, allowing users to directly engage in real stock trading or holding, achieving a seamless connection from IPO subscription to secondary market trading.

"White Hair Stock Guru" Serenity posted on platform X, stating that with the recent increase in attention, it is necessary to issue a clarification statement, emphasizing that all content is for personal research sharing and does not involve any paid promotion, paid marketing, or external interest exchange. They have never accepted any gifts or paid partnerships from any company in the past or present. Related so-called "paid promotion" content is false information or fraudulent activity using their name. Their only income is approximately $1-level subscription revenue through X platform’s subscription mechanism, and they have not received compensation from any external channel.Regarding the issue of anonymous identity, Serenity stated that they have previously faced real-world threats and online harassment for publicly expressing views (including opinions on IREN), hence choosing to remain anonymous to ensure personal and surrounding safety. Their goal is to help retail investors through free information integration, rather than selling research content or serving institutions. They thanked X for providing the distribution channel and opportunity, while emphasizing that they will continue to freely publish research opinions as an individual.Serenity emphasized that their published content is purely out of personal interest, not operated by an institution or research team, and there is no "hidden background" or paid research organization support. They stated that they possess a technical background, primarily conducting analysis and sharing based on interest in global supply chain research. All position information will be truthfully disclosed, and they will not engage in interest negotiations with any institution or individual before publishing opinions to ensure research independence.

Delphi Digital has released its "Token Market Status Report," indicating that the token market in this cycle has been suppressed by multiple structural issues, including token unlocks occurring on a fixed schedule regardless of project performance, protocol revenues failing to effectively flow back to token holders, and airdrops gradually evolving into sources of exit liquidity.The report shows that since January 2025, among all newly listed tokens on major centralized exchanges (CEX), if purchased on the listing day and held to the present, an average investment of $1,000 would have dwindled to approximately $500. The median decline is 82%, with only about 12% of tokens still trading above their issuance price, reflecting a market structure that prioritizes "listing quantity over quality."Regarding tokenomic design, the research points out that across more than 400 unlock events, within a sample of 33, 28 tokens significantly underperformed relative to Bitcoin in the three weeks before and after the unlock, resulting in an average excess loss of approximately 7%. Moreover, most unlocks occur within 30 days, making it difficult for the market to effectively absorb the supply shock.The report also notes that the long-standing industry issue of "missing value accrual" is beginning to change. An increasing number of protocols are starting to use "Fee Switch" mechanisms to return revenue to token holders. For example, Hyperliquid allocates nearly all its fees to buybacks, Uniswap is burning 100 million UNI tokens, Jupiter uses 50% of its fees for buybacks locked for three years, and Aave has passed a DAO-approved weekly buyback plan of $1 million.However, the report emphasizes that fee-based buybacks alone are insufficient to resolve supply pressure. For instance, the scale of buybacks for some projects still cannot offset the selling pressure from token unlocks, leading to a situation where "buybacks only offset inflation but fail to generate net buying pressure."Simultaneously, the structure of institutional capital is shifting. Institutional holdings of Bitcoin-related ETFs like IBIT have grown 62% year-over-year, with advisory channels increasing by 204% and sovereign wealth funds and endowments rising by 228%, while arbitrage-focused hedge funds continue to exit. Long-term capital, including BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Mubadala Investment Company, is increasing its allocation.The report concludes that in the next phase, more attractive token assets will simultaneously feature "revenue accrual mechanisms" and "supply release structures linked to protocol performance." However, the current market remains in the early stages of structural repair.
Odaily News: Ahead of the SpaceX IPO, the SPCX pre-market contract on several CEXs and on-chain Perp DEXs presented arbitrage opportunities due to differences in share count calculations and rebase mechanisms, which multiple KOLs capitalized on. Among them, crypto KOL Silicon Bird | Ray shared: “Last night, I went long on BN and short on HL, still capturing a 10-point arbitrage opportunity. BN issued a rebase announcement last night. Since the initially estimated share count (11.87B) differed from the actual share count (13.08B), SPCXUSDT positions will be converted at a ratio of 1.1. This means BN’s SPCX price will be divided by 1.1, while the position size will be multiplied by 1.1. This created a massive arbitrage opportunity because SPCX on Hyperliquid was also originally launched based on the 11.87B share count. However, the documentation clearly states that Hyperliquid’s SPCX will not rebase (as an HIP-3 DEX, trade.xyz doesn’t have this capability either). Hyperliquid’s current SPCX tracks the Class A common stock price. I submitted a ticket to trade.xyz and received a clear response confirming there will be no rebase.” Additionally, he analyzed the reasons behind "SPCX on trade.xyz will not rebase," stating: “There are several key reasons. Those familiar with Hyperliquid and trade.xyz understand their relationship: the former is a trading-specific L1 blockchain, while the latter is a DEX based on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3. trade.xyz is somewhat like an outsourced team, essentially just setting up a platform within Hyperliquid’s ecosystem.1. We need to understand that a rebase is an extremely complex operation, involving halting trading, forced liquidations, and reopening positions. This is a major engineering challenge even for large CEXs (such as OKX and BN, which are undergoing this rebase). Smaller exchanges like Bitget have simply given up and opted for a relist. For an on-chain team dependent on another blockchain, this is an even more daunting task.2. When trade.xyz first launched the contract, it mentioned an estimated share count of 11.87B. However, they later realized this could be controversial and promptly removed any mention of the estimated share count from their documentation. They clearly emphasized that the price tracked by SPCX on trade.xyz is the Class A common stock price of SPCX, and added extensive disclaimers stating there will be no rebase.”Crypto KOL KyleChen also posted last night: “The optimal hedging strategy should be on OKX’s pre-market perpetual. The IPO subscription cost is 142u, leaving around 14% profit margin. Comparison of three pre-market platforms:- OKX Pre SpacX: 162u, essentially confirmed as per-share price- Binance current price: 167u, with an announced rebase scheduled for 6/10 at a factor of 1.1, resulting in an adjusted price around 151.2u- Hyperliquid: 168u, its pre-market contract is provided via trade.xyz based on HIP-3. From a technical infrastructure standpoint, the contract does not directly supp
Gate has officially launched "IPO Access," opening a channel for users to participate in corporate Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Users can submit their subscription intentions before the official listing of a company and quickly obtain spot stocks after the listing, realizing a one-stop investment experience from IPO subscription to secondary market trading. The first IPO Access project is the highly anticipated commercial aerospace company SpaceX, providing a new avenue for users to seize opportunities in quality corporate listings. Users can participate in subscriptions in the "Gate IPOs" section, with support for USDT. The platform adopts a weight-based allocation mechanism; the earlier users complete their subscriptions, the higher allocation weight they receive. Upon successful IPO allotment, the stocks will be directly distributed to users' Gate stock accounts on June 12, allowing users to hold and trade real US stocks without needing to open an additional account.With the launch of IPO Access, Gate has further perfected its full-chain investment product system covering Pre-IPO, IPO, and stock trading, helping users capture growth opportunities at different stages of a company's development. Currently, Gate Stock (App v8.21.5 and above) already supports using USDT to trade over 10,000 US mainstream market stocks and ETFs, covering major markets such as NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS, and supports fractional share trading with a minimum purchase of 0.01 shares.
: SaharaAI has responded to the abnormal market volatility of the SAHARA token, stating that the team has noted the situation and is conducting real-time monitoring. Currently, no security issues have been found with the token contract or product, and an internal investigation has been initiated to further confirm the specific reasons for this price fluctuation.SaharaAI emphasized that the token allocations in the wallets of the team and investors have not changed on-chain, and no team or investor tokens have been sold or transferred.In response to the large on-chain transfers that attracted market attention, the project stated that the transactions believed to be related to this price fluctuation were actually pre-planned operations. These were used to replenish liquidity for the cross-chain bridge contract based on Chainlink CCIP, in order to support the recently launched cross-chain bridge functionality. This transfer of 600 million SAHARA tokens was part of a predetermined plan. The cross-chain bridge is operating normally, and an additional 150 million SAHARA tokens will be added subsequently as a liquidity supplement.SaharaAI stated that it is still investigating the cause of the abnormal market movement and will disclose further progress once confirmable information is obtained.

“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity posted on X platform, stating that the public often interprets his stock picks as “harvesting retail investors,” but he hopes his recommended targets can change the market’s perception that certain stocks are only suitable for short-term speculation, and prove that high-quality companies also possess long-term holding value.Serenity pointed out that the only Chinese concept stock he recommended last year was the optical module manufacturer Zhongji Innolight (Innolight), which has since hit an all-time high, achieving a cumulative gain in the triple digits. He stated that his investment logic is primarily based on Western institutional research frameworks, comprehensively referencing research views from institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, and focusing closely on demand changes from US cloud computing giants like Google and Microsoft.Furthermore, Serenity mentioned that when researching individual stocks, he also continuously evaluates geopolitical and game theory factors, for example in his analysis of companies like AXT. He believes that the perspective of foreign investors can bring different types of Alpha to the Chinese stock market, and he looks forward to further exploration of investment opportunities in the Chinese stock market in the future.Regarding the rumor circulating in the market that there is a Chinese institutional team behind him, Serenity denied it, emphasizing that he is just an individual investor who shares his investment thoughts daily. English is his primary language, and since most of his content is posted via mobile phone, posting over 20 times a day, occasional spelling errors are normal.
