Tech stocks and crypto are selling off in a “classic pre-mega-IPO liquidity squeeze,” say analysts. The initial public offering of Elon Musk’s SpaceX has reportedly seen an oversubscription rate running at almost four times the planned offering size, with some analysts suggesting it could be squeezing liquidity from the market. SpaceX’s IPO (SPCX) has attracted over $250 billion in investor demand, far exceeding the $75 billion it is seeking to raise in what would be the largest public offering ever, with the firm valued at $1.8 trillion, Reuters reported. Bankers and investors say it is the latest sign that demand is strong, as long-only funds have put in “sizable orders,” according to the sources. Read more -

South Korea's national police has been battling crypto-enabled crimes from DPRK-state level threats to scams targeting retail investors. Blockchain security firm Chainalysis is strengthening its collaboration with South Korea’s national police to crack down on crypto crimes, including those involving North Korea. Chainalysis said on Wednesday that it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA), aimed at building investigative capability within South Korea’s law enforcement. Chainalysis said one of the driving factors behind the agreement is to better combat North Korea-linked crypto attacks, with South Korea’s police “at the forefront” of tackling these threats. However, Chainalysis's country director Ryan Kwon said agreement aims to tackle all threats. Read more -

NEURA plans to integrate Tether's wallet and AI technologies into its robotics platform, enabling autonomous payments and on-device computing for machines. Tether is leading a funding round of as much as $1.4 billion for German tech company NEURA Robotics, deepening the stablecoin issuer's push into artificial intelligence and robotics. The round, which values NEURA at roughly $7 billion, is expected to include a mix of strategic and financial investors. Tether said it is leading the raise through its investment arm, which deploys capital from the company's profits and excess reserves across sectors including AI, energy and digital infrastructure. NEURA said it expects to integrate Tether's Wallet Development Kit into its robotic systems, enabling machines to receive payments and execute transactions within predefined parameters. The companies also plan to deploy Tether's QVAC AI runtime, which is designed to run models directly on devices rather than through cloud-based infrastructure. Read more -

The Hyperliquid Policy Center and Paradigm say the Treasury’s money-laundering rules for the GENIUS Act are too onerous for stablecoin issuers. The lobbying arm of crypto futures exchange Hyperliquid and venture capital firm Paradigm has urged the US Treasury to revise a proposed anti-money laundering and sanctions rule for stablecoin issuers. The Hyperliquid Policy Center and Paradigm said in a letter on Tuesday that some secondary market obligations should be clarified or narrowed “to avoid unintended consequences for permissionless blockchain infrastructure and the DeFi ecosystem.” The pair said they endorse the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) approach of putting compliance obligations on the “primary market,” such as issuers who have customer information, and taking a “limited approach” to the secondary market, where issuers only see wallets and transactions.

“The same insider trade that improves the accuracy of the price today can reduce the participation that makes the price informative tomorrow,” said Balbinder Singh Gill. Prediction market regulators should consider a measured approach to insider trading enforcement as opposed to an outright ban, according to research from an academic at the Stevens Institute of Technology. In a paper released on June 2, assistant professor of finance Balbinder Singh Gill developed a formal economic model to answer the question of how strictly insider trading in prediction markets should be policed. A paradox exists in that “the same insider trade that improves the accuracy of the price today can reduce the participation that makes the price informative tomorrow,” he said. Read more -

Venture capitalist Simon Dedic said Anthropic’s latest AI models drop the cost and skill needed to find crypto exploits to “basically zero.” AI company Anthropic on Tuesday released the first public version of its powerful Claude Mythos model, called Fable 5, with some crypto users worried it could be used for malicious purposes, despite embedded guardrails. Anthropic said last month that its Mythos model uncovered more than 10,000 high or critical-severity vulnerabilities in “systemically important software,” leading many to question if it should be publicly released. This is despite the company saying on Tuesday that Fable 5 was “made safe for general use,” and has safeguards that reroute some topics, such as cybersecurity, to a different model, Claude Opus 4.8 Read more -

Ether’s futures open interest fell by 25%, putting pressure on the $1,500 support level. Is a drop to $1,000 next? The Ether (ETH) futures market saw its open interest (OI) on Gate.io fall by 45% to levels last seen in April 2025. At the same time, nearly 480,000 ETH left Binance, OKX, Gemini and Bitfinex over the past few days, reducing the exchange-held supply. The combined shift highlights a market with less leverage and declining exchange balances, placing greater focus on the $1,500 support zone, which some analysts view as critical to preventing a deeper move toward $1,000. Ether's futures market has undergone a broad reset during the recent sell-off. Crypto analyst Amr Taha noted that total ETH open interest across exchanges has dropped 25%, to $12.6 billion from $16.6 billion in May, with several major trading platforms now at levels last seen in April 2025.

Bitwise research suggests that Bitcoin is leading a broader risk-off move across markets as global liquidity and stablecoin reserves remain elevated. Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent performance may be less about crypto market weakness and more about its position at the front of the risk curve. Asset management firm Bitwise said that BTC often acts as a “canary in the macro coal mine,” responding to shifts in liquidity and financial conditions before traditional markets. With equities now showing similar signs of strain, the firm sees Bitcoin's move as part of a wider risk-off adjustment. Bitwise said that Bitcoin and Ether reached cycle lows of $58,000 and $1,507, respectively, as other global risk assets faced mounting pressure. The Nasdaq recorded its sharpest daily decline of 5% in months, and South Korea’s KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index), its benchmark stock index, triggered a temporary trading halt after a steep sell-off led by semiconductor stocks. The shift followed stronger-than-expected US labor ma... -

Researchers say broad HTX tainting could freeze legitimate users and make compliance tools less useful for tracing illicit funds. Blockchain researchers have raised concerns about the United Kingdom's sanctions against crypto exchange HTX, arguing that the move may have created broad collateral damage across the industry's compliance system. In an X post, Galaxy Digital's head of research, Alex Thorn, said the UK adding “all of HTX” to its sanctions was “problematic” because the exchange has many legitimate users. Thorn pointed to differences in how stablecoin issuers decide when to freeze tokens, saying there’s a big divergence in enforcement practices. Security researcher Taylor Monahan said in an X post that the HTX sanctions undermined years of work to encourage decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to screen and block stolen funds. She argued that most HTX users are legitimate. Read more -

StarkWare and Sui roll out confidential transfer systems as Zama boosts compliance efforts and Zcash’s Orchard bug highlights risks in shielded privacy models. StarkWare and Sui launched new privacy features this week that allow users to conceal transaction data without fully sacrificing auditability or regulatory oversight. StarkWare said Tuesday that it launched STRK20, a privacy framework for ERC-20 tokens on Starknet that allows users to shield balances and transaction data while providing mechanisms for disclosure under certain circumstances. Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, told Cointelegraph that "compliance-ready" does not mean STRK20 itself determines legal compliance or guarantees regulatory approval. He said the framework is built around a risk-based model in which privacy is conditional rather than absolute, with screening applied at entry into the shielded pool and viewing-key-based disclosure available under lawful request.

One of MiCA's architects said he sees no need to regulate DeFi as the European Commission gathers feedback on the framework's future. The European Union should focus on a broader digital asset framework covering real-world assets and tokenization instead of regulating decentralized finance through a second version of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), an adviser at the European Commission said. The European Commission launched a public consultation on MiCA in May, seeking feedback through Aug. 31. "I do not believe that [MiCA] is outdated now. That’s my personal opinion, but it does not matter. That’s why we have this consultation,” Peter Kerstens told Cointelegraph during a fireside chat at WAIB Summit Monaco 2026. Read more -

Humanity Protocol's Terence Kwok said some multisig keys may have been accidentally backed up to a compromised device during setup. Humanity Protocol said an employee's laptop compromise allowed attackers to seize bridge controls, upgrade contracts and steal over $36 million in H tokens. In an incident update on Tuesday, the protocol said the Monday attack affected the H token across Ethereum and BNB Chain. The team said three of six Gnosis Safe owner keys were compromised, allowing attackers to take control of bridge administration on both networks. Once they had control, the attackers changed the bridge contracts into different malicious versions, Humanity said. On Ethereum, they drained around 141.2 million tokens. On BSC, they added a function that let them create unlimited tokens, then minted 200 million tokens directly to their own wallet. Read more -
