Polymarket, a crypto prediction market platform, has been accused of paying dozens of creators, mostly of college age, to film betting videos on pages closely resembling its website, with some videos also showing fabricated profits. A review of 1,105 videos posted by 10 creators since December found that approximately 70% contained betting content, and the roughly $1.9 million in wagers displayed were not real transactions. One video released in January showed college student George Makihara celebrating a $100,000 win from betting that Donald Trump would say "McDonald’s" that month. However, the footage was reportedly filmed two months early; Trump did not publicly utter the word in January of that year, and over 50 real accounts betting on the same event on Polymarket all incurred losses. Some creators entered trades on test pages, including the misspelled domain "poiymarket.com," which were allegedly built by Polymarket or used for engineering test environments. In 118 videos, creators displayed nearly $900,000 in fictitious gains, while these bets would have resulted in losses of over $166,000 based on actual outcomes. Creators received approximately $2,000 to $3,000 per month and were instructed not to disclose the collaboration arrangement. Polymarket stated it is committed to maintaining accurate, fair, and transparent markets and plans to conduct a comprehensive audit of promotional content. (Decrypt)
that, according to official news from Bitget, the platform has officially launched its direct US stock connection product, "Bitget US Stocks," allowing users to buy and sell over 10,000 real US stocks and ETFs directly using USDC. The service executes settlements through licensed US brokers, granting users full shareholder rights including cash dividends and voting rights. It covers pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading sessions, and supports the seamless transfer of existing stock holdings from other brokerage platforms into Bitget. This move is another key step in Bitget's US Stock 2.0 strategy, following the launch of the Reality protocol and rToken-based US stock tokens in early June, aimed at providing a more intuitive trading interface for users accustomed to traditional brokerage experiences.To coincide with the new product launch, Bitget is simultaneously rolling out an accelerated stock transfer program. During the promotional period, users who transfer US stock holdings from external brokerages such as Futu, Tiger Brokers, moomoo, Longbridge, Webull, and IBKR into Bitget have the chance to receive a transfer fee subsidy of up to $10,000. The registration period runs from June 22, 19:00 to July 10, 23:59 (UTC+8), and subsidies will be distributed to eligible users every Monday. Transferred assets can be held or traded directly within the Bitget account.On June 5th, Bitget announced the listing of US stock tokens launched by its compliant RWA protocol. It currently supports over 500 US stocks and ETFs, including SpaceX, Tesla, and Nvidia, with assets under management (AUM) exceeding $50 million. The launch of direct US stock connection further completes Bitget's US stock product matrix, offering users accustomed to traditional brokerage experiences a more intuitive trading interface and experience.
According to FinanceFeeds, Reeve Collins, co-founder of Tether, stated that the stablecoin industry is entering a “2.0 era.” Current stablecoin infrastructure still suffers from structural issues, and next-generation solutions must address users’ inability to earn returns on reserve assets. The core logic of Stablecoin 1.0 is “users provide $1, and issuers mint one token,” yet users only gain payment and transfer convenience—without sharing in reserve earnings. In the future, financial services will increasingly become infrastructure: “Users won’t care which bank sends funds,” and AI agents may select different financial ecosystems based on user interests. The next phase of stablecoin competition will center on financial infrastructure and yield-distribution models. On regulatory matters, Reeve Collins revealed he continues to hold Bitcoin long-term. He also noted that USD-pegged stablecoins remain, in essence, extensions of the U.S. financial system—exposing them to regulatory reach—and differ fundamentally from central bank digital currency (CBDC) models, which may offer stronger programmability and financial surveillance capabilities.
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to introduce a new policy that would allow crypto companies to offer blockchain-based tokenized stock trading, potentially having a significant impact on the traditional stock market structure. According to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, companies will be permitted to experiment with new digital asset business models, including the tokenization of US stocks, without fully complying with existing disclosure and investor protection rules.However, the proposal has also raised concerns among traditional financial institutions such as Citadel Securities and SIFMA, who argue that such changes could divert liquidity and create regulatory arbitrage risks. As of now, the SEC has not made any public comments on the matter. (Reuters)
According to South Korean media outlet SBS Biz, the South Korean government is advancing the formulation of supplementary regulations for the revision of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, with plans to formally bring virtual asset cross-border transfer services under the foreign exchange regulatory framework starting this December. In addition to existing virtual asset trading platforms, regulators are also exploring a proposal to allow fintech firms with relevant capabilities to participate in this business. If implemented, blockchain-based cross-border remittance and exchange services could operate within a compliant regulatory framework, potentially expanding market access beyond previous expectations.
Monitoring by Odaily Seer Prophet Channel shows that the probability of "Claude Fable 5 restored for US customers before July 1" on Polymarket has risen to 73%, up 33% in 24H.If Anthropic reopens Claude Fable 5 (or Claude Mythos, or a version confirmed to be the same model) to the US public before the specified date, this event will settle as "Yes"; otherwise, it will settle as "No". Qualifying methods of restoration include public beta or public waitlist; closed testing and private access do not count. Other models such as Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus are not included by default unless they are confirmed to be the same model as Claude Fable 5. Settlement will primarily be based on official announcements from Anthropic, supplemented by consensus reports from mainstream media.Due to export controls imposed by the US government on national security grounds, Anthropic urgently suspended global access to the Claude Fable 5 model just days after its release on June 9. Although the restrictions were primarily aimed at foreign users, due to the difficulty of real-time user identity screening, Anthropic ultimately closed access for all users, including those in the US, and switched requests to less capable models such as Opus 4.8. Anthropic is currently engaged in high-level discussions with the White House on issues including model capabilities and potential jailbreak risks. The company has publicly stated that the ban may have stemmed from a misunderstanding and is actively pushing to restore access.Odaily Seer Prophet Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before they are priced in.

: Kalshi, a U.S. compliant prediction market platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with financial compliance service provider StarCompliance. The collaboration aims to offer real-time trading monitoring services for employee Kalshi accounts at various financial institutions, directly addressing a core compliance pain point in the industry.As the popularity of prediction markets rises, financial institutions are increasingly concerned that employees might leverage internal non-public information to trade for profit on platforms like Kalshi, posing regulatory risks of insider trading. With this partnership, StarCompliance's compliance system will connect to employees' Kalshi accounts under institutional management, automatically identifying and flagging abnormal or suspicious trading activities. This will help financial institutions conduct internal risk control and regulatory compliance self-assessments.According to StarCompliance, the current system only offers real-time transaction monitoring. In the future, they plan to add a pre-trade approval module and expand service coverage to blockchain-based prediction market platforms such as Polymarket. This will comprehensively cover mainstream event trading channels and enhance institutions' full-scenario employee trading control systems. (.barrons)
According to CoinDesk, as the final deadline for the European MiCA regulatory transition period—this month’s end—approaches, BitGo, a crypto custodian regulated by Germany’s BaFin, announced that its Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform offers European crypto firms a more streamlined path to MiCA compliance—without needing to build a standalone compliance and operational infrastructure from scratch. Enterprises need only integrate their existing wallets into BitGo’s wallet infrastructure and complete MiCA-compliant KYC procedures; customer assets can then be held in compliant, segregated custody accounts. Meanwhile, enterprises may continue applying in parallel for their own CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) license. On pricing, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe stated fees are relatively low, with a minimum monthly fee of several thousand dollars, and two billing options: transaction-volume-based or flat-rate pricing. According to legal firm Hogan Lovells, as of May 2026, only 194 CASPs will have been authorized across Europe. It is estimated that roughly 75% of crypto firms pre-registered under MiCA will lose their registration status after the transition period ends.

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.

, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has rejected the release request of Mirelis Yoseline Diaz Zerpa, a Venezuelan woman who is the wife of “Bitcoin Pharaoh” Glaidson Acácio dos Santos, currently held in pre-trial detention. Her legal team filed a habeas corpus petition, citing reasons including the prison's failure to meet her “vegan diet” needs. However, the court ruled that dietary preferences do not constitute grounds for illegal detention, and any related adjustments can be handled administratively by the prison system at its discretion.Judge Maria Marluce Caldas, presiding over the case, noted that dietary restrictions based on personal choice lack the legal standing to overturn the legality of the detention, thus upholding the original ruling while requesting the prison to make reasonable dietary arrangements where conditions permit. Case documents show that Mirelis had been a fugitive in the United States for nearly four years before being deported back to Brazil due to visa issues and subsequently arrested. Prosecutors accuse her of involvement in organized crime leadership and large-scale crypto asset transfers, linked to investigations such as “Operation Kryptos.”The Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) stated that during the investigation, approximately 20 million reais worth of crypto asset movement was identified, and related account operation records in Florida, USA, were traced. Authorities believe she still retains the ability to remotely control funds, posing a significant judicial risk. The case is currently under further review. (livecoins)

the U.S. government has issued an export control directive citing national security authority, requiring the suspension of all access for foreign nationals to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, including Anthropic’s foreign national employees. To ensure compliance, Anthropic must close all customer access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, while all other Anthropic models remain unaffected.The U.S. government provided oral evidence indicating a potential narrow-scope, non-general jailbreak method for the model. Anthropic is complying with the government's legal directive and removing all user access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, but disagrees with the decision to withdraw deployed commercial models based on the discovery of a narrow-scope potential jailbreak, and is working diligently to restore access as soon as possible.

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new prediction event for the opening price range of SpaceX (ticker: SPCX) on its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.SpaceX is scheduled to officially list on Nasdaq on June 12 (U.S. time). According to its compliance filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in early June, the official IPO price has been set at $135 per share, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. Although the offering price has been determined, institutional oversubscription orders are reportedly exceeding $10 billion, fueling market expectations for a premium from the "first-day pop." However, given the high valuation multiple of 90 times price-to-sales and intense competition in the rocket launch market, the first-day opening premium may be relatively moderate. Under the event's settlement rules, the market will strictly settle based on the official opening price of SpaceX on its first trading day on the primary exchange. If the final opening price falls exactly at the boundary between two ranges, the higher range will be used for settlement.Odaily Seer remains focused on prediction markets. See the change before the price is set.
