: Nine Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives have called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate prediction markets, reviewing whether their advertising campaigns are consistent with the statements they make to regulators. Representatives Kevin Mullin and Gabe Vasquez stated that prediction market platforms present themselves to regulators as financial instruments offering investment products, yet advertise to the public as gambling platforms. This contradictory information could mislead consumers.The lawmakers have requested that the FTC provide a detailed response by June 29 on whether it plans to launch an investigation or take enforcement action against prediction markets. Prediction markets have recently come under scrutiny over insider trading issues, and Congress launched investigations into Polymarket and Kalshi in May. (Cointelegraph)

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on June 4 the repeal of its nearly 30-year-old “neither admit nor deny” policy. Introduced in 1998, this policy required defendants to agree not to publicly deny the CFTC’s allegations as a condition of settlement. CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam stated that the move aligns with the broader direction across federal regulatory agencies and grants the Commission greater flexibility in enforcement settlements. Earlier in May, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had already repealed a similar policy. Several crypto firms had criticized the rule for restricting their freedom of speech.
According to Drift’s official announcement, the Drift Protocol released its latest recovery update on June 3, 2026. An independent forensic investigation conducted by cybersecurity firm Mandiant has confirmed that the prior attack against Drift was carried out by the North Korean threat group UNC6862, whose tactics closely align with those historically employed by North Korean state-sponsored hacking operations. On the rebuilding front, Drift announced the appointment of Noah Prince—former Engineering Lead of the Helium Protocol—as Protocol Lead, who will spearhead codebase hardening and platform security architecture redesign. Additionally, former members of the Gauntlet team have been brought on board to conduct margin engine reviews, optimize funding rates and market parameters, enhance liquidation mechanisms, and implement continuous risk monitoring. Drift plans to relaunch with “security-first” as its core principle, repositioning itself as Solana’s largest USDT-perpetuals exchange. With support from strategic partners including Tether, Drift will establish a dedicated recovery pool funded by platform revenues to compensate users for losses. Further details regarding the recovery mechanism and timeline will be disclosed progressively.
According to Yonhap News Agency, on June 1, the Incheon Metropolitan City Election Commission formally filed a complaint with the Incheon Police Agency against Yoo Jeong-bok, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party for Incheon mayor, citing violations of the Public Official Election Act. Yoo is accused of submitting false information in his candidate asset disclosure: his spouse’s actual assets amount to approximately 518.57 million KRW—significantly higher than the declared amount of 439.88 million KRW—and their combined household assets should total approximately 1.92297 billion KRW, not the declared 1.84472 billion KRW. Earlier media reports indicated that his spouse held 21,000 units of virtual assets and transferred them to overseas exchanges to evade local election asset disclosure obligations. The Incheon Police Agency’s Anti-Corruption Investigation Unit will merge this complaint with a related case previously filed by the Democratic Party of Korea for joint investigation.

Starting June 1, the Central Bank of Brazil officially tightened licensing requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), mandating that all cryptocurrency firms applying for or renewing their licenses undergo independent financial audits. The audit scope covers compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations, segregation of client funds from platform-owned funds, risk management mechanisms, and staff training. Audit firms must be registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Previously, Brazil established a regulatory framework for virtual assets through legislation in 2022 and introduced the VASP licensing category in November 2025. This latest regulation further strengthens compliance oversight of the cryptocurrency industry.
According to Protos, Twenty One Capital (ticker: XXI), a Bitcoin reserve company controlled by Tether, received an official non-compliance notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on May 29 due to insufficient independent directors on its Audit Committee. The company must rectify the issue by Friday, June 6; otherwise, its stock will be assigned the “BC” (Below Compliance) designation starting June 9. The incident stems from May 19, when Tether acquired all 89.1 million Class A shares held by SoftBank and canceled the corresponding Class B shares. Concurrently, Tether terminated the governance agreement granting SoftBank veto rights over the Board of Directors. As a result, the two directors appointed by SoftBank—including Jared Roscoe, a member of the Audit Committee—resigned the same day, reducing the number of independent Audit Committee members from two to one, thereby triggering the NYSE’s compliance threshold. Twenty One Capital has stated it will appoint a new independent Audit Committee member as soon as possible but has not disclosed the specific candidate or who holds the authority to make the appointment. The company currently holds 43,514 BTC, valued at approximately $3.1 billion, yet its total market capitalization remains below $2.5 billion. Amid leadership instability and multiple unfulfilled business commitments, its stock price has plunged over 83% in the past year.
Galaxy stated in March this year, the New York State Supreme Court quietly accepted a lawsuit seeking to confirm the ownership of over 3.7 million Bitcoin (worth approximately $274 billion) associated with 39,069 Bitcoin addresses. This includes addresses belonging to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto (a total of 21,744 addresses holding 1.09 million Bitcoin, valued at $83.7 billion at current prices).The plaintiff is Noah Doe (a pseudonym) and two unnamed Wyoming limited liability companies. Noah Doe requests the New York State Supreme Court to declare, via a declaratory judgment action (New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3001) under the New York State Abandoned Property Law (Personal Property Law Article 7-B), that they possess ownership of these dormant addresses.In short, they seek a ruling from a New York court that the Bitcoin belonging to founder Satoshi Nakamoto (along with many other lost Bitcoin addresses) constitutes abandoned property. They argue they are entitled to legal ownership by virtue of "finding" these cryptocurrencies. From June 30 to July 10, 2025, they sent "disclaimer notices" to each found address via OP_RETURN.However, even if they win the case entirely, they will ultimately only obtain a court declaration. They will not receive any private keys, nor will they be able to transfer any Bitcoin from these addresses. But Galaxy states that the true value of the New York ruling lies in its ability to act as a "cloud on title." If these Bitcoins ever appear on any regulated platform, plaintiff Noah Doe could use this document to file a claim with an exchange or custodian.
According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Bitcoin is down 16% year-to-date and is entering its historically seasonally weak June window—over the past decade, June’s average return has been just +0.7%. However, this year’s May rally significantly underperformed the historical average, raising the probability of a seasonal reversal. Meanwhile, several catalysts are set to materialize soon, including U.S.-regulated crypto perpetual futures products and Nasdaq CME Crypto Index Futures (scheduled for launch on June 8). If these bring new buying support, Bitcoin could stage a short-term rebound.
the U.S. Department of State announced the designation of two Brazilian organizations, Comando Vermelho (CV) and Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), as "Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs)." They plan to officially designate them as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs)" starting June 5, 2026. These organizations have been accused of using digital currencies for money laundering, with PCC reportedly using Bitcoin mining as a cover for laundering funds.Previously, Brazil passed a new law in March of this year allowing confiscated crypto assets to be used for public safety expenditures. This move marks Brazil's shift in viewing crypto assets from a potential reserve tool to law enforcement resources, strengthening efforts to combat crimes by PCC, CV, and other organizations, while advancing the judicial system's capabilities in regulating and disposing of digital assets.

Odaily Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge announced on X that the team will implement several adjustments to ApeCoin.

: The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it has jointly filed for an exemption from judgment with Gemini Trust Company LLC regarding the lawsuit initiated against Gemini in 2022.It is reported that the case was filed in June 2022, and both parties reached a settlement agreement in January 2025. After a comprehensive review, the CFTC concluded that the case should not have been brought and would not be pursued under current enforcement standards.The review report identified six major issues, including: the lawsuit was primarily based on statements from a whistleblower known to lack credibility; the investigation targeted Gemini as the victim rather than focusing on the alleged fraudsters; doubts existed regarding the strength of evidence against Gemini; key evidence was not provided to commissioners during their vote; litigation attorneys used deliberative privilege to prevent Gemini from accessing defense materials; and personnel involved were suspected of using regulatory authority to pressure Gemini into a settlement.
