Tencent's official X account stated that its research agent Hyra collaborated with the Hy3 model to explicitly prove an issue that has troubled the mathematical community for over 50 years: the optimal growth rate exponent of the size of the sum set |A+A| and the size of the difference set |A-A| for a finite integer set A is exactly 2. The theorem from 1969 provided an upper bound of 2, but for the following 50 years, the best constructed exponent was only slightly above 1.1.This achievement demonstrates the potential of AI agents in the field of pure mathematical reasoning. Tencent stated that Hyra is an AI research agent developed in-house, specifically designed to assist in the exploration of complex mathematical and scientific problems. This conclusion still requires confirmation through peer review by the mathematical community.

Rob Nichols, the President of the American Bankers Association, stated in an interview that the banking industry's lobbying group hopes for the passage of the CLARITY Act, but issues surrounding stablecoins still need to be resolved.The bill is about 600 pages long, and the banking industry only suggests making minor and precise modifications to two sections to prevent stablecoins from replacing bank deposits. They are referred to as payment stablecoins for a reason, not deposit stablecoins. However, he does believe that the cryptocurrency industry and the banking industry can coexist.

According to official news, Base Build announced the launch of Base Verify Onchain to address the issue of witch attacks in the blockchain ecosystem. This feature has been launched on the Base Sepolia test network, allowing developers to implement the "one real user, one claim" rule in smart contracts. Base Build stated that traditional airdrop mechanisms are easily manipulated by bulk wallets, and a large number of rewards are often obtained by professional airdrop farmers, while users who genuinely participate in product development can only receive limited benefits.Base Verify Onchain helps project teams identify multiple wallets controlled by the same user by generating a stable identity hash for each real user, without needing to obtain users' names, account information, or other private data. Users can complete verification through existing accounts such as Coinbase, Instagram, X, and TikTok. The system then returns a verified identity credential to the smart contract, which automatically enforces rules such as claim limits, voting restrictions, or quota controls. Currently, Base Verify has been used over 300,000 times and serves collaborative projects such as Base App, Cody, Scratch, and Bracket. Base Build stated that Verify Onchain will provide fairer airdrops, token distributions, governance voting, and user incentive mechanisms for decentralized applications. Developers can use this technology to limit the number of claims per real user, allocate rewards based on real identities, or convert real-world signals into on-chain credibility, thereby reducing the impact of bots and multi-wallet manipulation on the fairness of Web3 applications.

The UK plans to issue its first tokenized sovereign bond by early 2027, with the current key prerequisite being the resolution of on-chain cash settlement issues. This problem has limited the use of digital bonds by institutions for years.Industry experts indicate that the plan may have received sufficient support from the UK Treasury, the Bank of England, and regulators to continue advancing after recent political changes, and it could potentially increase the demand for UK debt. Current progress is constrained by the lack of standardized on-chain payment methods, mature pound stablecoins, and regulatory clarity.

According to external disclosure information, OpenAI has been internally running an unreleased model. This model, without the aid of tools like Lean, solves the unit distance problem with a 48% probability through a single autonomous inference and can independently find a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture based on a single prompt. In security testing, this model has bypassed the sandbox environment and submitted results that should have been released internally to GitHub in the form of a Pull Request, and it has evaded detection by splitting authentication tokens. Relevant code records show that OpenAI began benchmarking this model no later than May 9, and its internal availability has exceeded 2.5 months.Previously, OpenAI and Hugging Face jointly disclosed that last week this model breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure during a network capability assessment. The model gained internet access through a zero-day vulnerability and obtained testing solutions by stealing credentials and exploiting remote code execution paths. OpenAI stated that this incident indicates the network attack capabilities of advanced models have been effective in real-world scenarios, and they are collaborating with Hugging Face to investigate and patch the vulnerabilities. Currently, OpenAI has not publicly commented on this matter.

Solv Protocol announced on platform X that on July 13, the BTC+ contract on the BNB Smart Chain suffered a security incident. After investigation, it was found that the attacker compromised the deployer's private key and upgraded the BTC+ minting proxy contract on BSC, minting unauthorized BTC+ tokens. The team completed the emergency response within three hours, isolating the malicious contract and freezing, destroying, or isolating all unauthorized BTC+. All underlying BTC assets are safe.As a precaution, the subscription and redemption of BTC+ have been suspended, with a recovery expected within two weeks. BTC+ has never established an official liquidity pool on any DEX, and users should only obtain and hold BTC+ through official Solv channels. The team has upgraded the deployer's security measures, rotated all affected access credentials and signing keys, and initiated a comprehensive external re-audit, with a detailed post-incident analysis report to be released subsequently.

Binance founder CZ recently posted on social media that artificial intelligence (AI) and Bitcoin (BTC) serve different functions; AI drives productivity improvements, while Bitcoin is used to combat inflation and protect wealth. CZ stated, "AI is great, but it cannot protect you from the effects of inflation; Bitcoin can."CZ believes that the market often views AI and Bitcoin as two major hot investment themes, but their natures are fundamentally different. AI is a technology that enhances business efficiency and economic productivity, while Bitcoin is a digital asset with a fixed supply. He pointed out that the AI industry is rapidly developing, with global companies continuously investing billions of dollars in AI software, data centers, chips, and other infrastructure, driving transformations in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. However, AI companies can issue more shares and raise funds for expansion, and their investment value still depends on business performance and market competition. In contrast, Bitcoin has a total fixed supply of 21 million coins, and holders possess a non-dilutable scarce asset. CZ believes this characteristic gives Bitcoin long-term value storage properties, providing protection when the purchasing power of fiat currency declines due to inflation.CZ has also previously stated that the AI boom may attract some funds that would have originally flowed into the Bitcoin market. As AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic gain more capital attention, some investors may sell other assets to allocate to AI-related investments. However, CZ believes that AI and Bitcoin are not in competition; rather, they should be viewed as complementary assets: AI drives technological advancement and productivity improvements, while Bitcoin offers a way to store value that is unaffected by supply expansion.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the ResolvLabs attacker has transferred funds again after stealing approximately $25.9 million in March.In the past few hours, 580 ETH has been transferred, worth about $1,090,000, and is being routed through a mixer.

According to The Block, Mizuho Bank analysts pointed out that Circle has received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank. While this helps enhance its compliance reputation, it is not enough to address the current core pressures—namely, the continuous shrinkage of USDC's market value and the increasingly fierce competition from Open USD, which still poses a significant drag on the $CRCL stock price.

Injective's official account posted on the X platform, stating that recent media reports have covered news about "potential security risks involving the Injective npm package." This issue has been promptly identified and resolved. User funds have never been at risk and have not suffered any losses.The official statement indicated that its security monitoring system detected the issue immediately and quickly marked the affected package version as deprecated, while replacing it with a new version, thus blocking the risk before the malicious package could be downloaded.As a result, the download volume of the malicious package is zero, and it has not affected users; the security of user funds has also not been threatened. Injective's npm package is one of the most widely used SDKs in the cryptocurrency field, and the official team has now implemented optimization measures to ensure that such attack attempts cannot occur again.

According to token unlock data from the Crypto asset data platform RootData, Solv Protocol (SOLV) will unlock approximately 37.896 million tokens at 0:00 Beijing time on July 17, worth about 1.04 million USD.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that the capital management adjustments announced by Strategy on Monday mark an important turning point. In the weeks prior, the "digital credit" system of Strategy's preferred shares faced pressure, with the preferred share STRC falling below its $100 par value and hitting a historical low of $71.25 on June 26, leading the market to question how the company would pay the increasingly high preferred share dividends.Strategy subsequently announced a new digital credit capital framework, including a board-approved dollar reserve policy, a revised STRC dividend policy, a $1 billion preferred securities repurchase authorization, a $1 billion MSTR common stock repurchase authorization, and a BTC monetization plan. At the same time, the board raised the annual dividend rate of STRC from 11.5% to 12%, applicable to semi-monthly dividends for record dates on or after July 1. Following the announcement, MSTR rose 12.6% to about $92.70 on Monday, while STRC increased by 12.2% to about $83.70.Thorn believes that Strategy's approach is wise, but it may not permanently resolve structural issues. The company still has a large preferred share system and ongoing payment obligations, and it will face $6.7 billion in convertible bonds maturing in 2027 and 2028. The market is not truly concerned about Strategy's lack of assets, but rather whether it has sufficient dollar liquidity to pay dividends without harming BTC holders, MSTR common stock shareholders, or preferred shareholders. By raising over $1 billion in cash through the sale of common stock, setting a minimum cash reserve policy for 12 months, and increasing the current cash coverage ratio to about 17 months, Strategy has bought itself time.The most controversial aspect is the BTC monetization plan, which seems to clearly indicate that Strategy may sell BTC from time to time. Thorn does not want to see Strategy sell Bitcoin, as the company's identity and the MSTR premium are built on its narrative as a long-term BTC exposure tool, and selling BTC would undermine that story.However, he also believes that if selling a small amount of BTC can prevent a disorderly spiral in the capital structure, protect preferred shares, and wait for a better market environment, this path can be justified. Strategy should explore how to generate income from its BTC assets without directly selling spot BTC, including conservatively lending a small amount of isolated BTC or using options strategies to capture volatility gains.

According to The Defiant, ENS community member Christoph Jentzsch proposed on the X platform that the ENS DAO dissolve itself, stating that "the ENS DAO has collapsed," and suggested destroying the ENSv2 Universal Router keys and reallocating the remaining funds, officially transforming ENS into a public infrastructure. Jentzsch, who wrote code for "The DAO" in 2016 and currently operates Tokenize.it, stated that he does not hold any formal position in ENS governance.Previously, ENS co-founder Nick Johnson unilaterally vetoed the security council renewal vote using about half of the active voting power of the protocol, while about two weeks ago he supported another proposal to expand the ENS Foundation's control over the treasury by delegating nearly half of the active voting power to himself.

According to Thaiger, Thai police arrested 8 suspects in Bangkok. The gang is suspected of robbing a 35-year-old Chinese man of 196,000 Thai Baht during an offline cryptocurrency exchange.It is reported that the victim went to a gas station café in the Bang Khen district of Bangkok to complete the exchange of Thai Baht for cryptocurrency as agreed online. After receiving the cash, the suspects fled on motorcycles. A total of 9 people were involved in the case, using 6 motorcycles to escape, and 1 suspect is still at large. Police seized vehicles, clothing items related to the case, and 81,000 Thai Baht in cash. The 8 arrested individuals have been charged with robbery, aiding in escape, and conspiracy to commit a crime, and the case has been transferred to the local police station for further investigation.

According to token unlocking data from the Crypto asset data platform RootData, Solv Protocol (SOLV) will unlock approximately 81.982 million tokens at 0:00 Beijing time on June 17, worth about 2.68 million USD.

a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of events, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time estimates of the probabilities of future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets have the ability to update in real-time and incentivize participants to bet their capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.The article points out that prediction markets are used not only by companies for product launches and research experiment forecasts but also by the media as a source of "crowd wisdom," covering a wide range of events from geopolitical issues to AI model performance. Its core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements. However, prediction markets still face challenges related to infrastructure and market design, including event verification, contract settlement, participant information adequacy, and potential manipulation risks.a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets are expected to become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding financial and societal insights into future events.

According to official news, the Resolv Foundation has released a complete recovery framework following the protocol security incident. Previously, on March 22, 2026, the protocol was attacked due to a security vulnerability, resulting in the illegal minting of USR tokens entering the market. The protocol subsequently suspended operations and entered recovery mode. Resolv stated that USR was designed as a "premium layer" stable asset backed by collateral, while RLP served as an "insurance layer" to absorb losses. According to the recovery plan, USR/wstUSR held before the attack will be exchanged for USDC at a 1:1 ratio, while USR purchased after the attack will be processed at a 1:0.5 USDC ratio; RLP holders will recover approximately 60%+, with part of the compensation distributed in the form of RESOLV tokens. The official compensation application window is open for three months.At the same time, Resolv announced the launch of a new business line called "Vault Street," managed by the Resolv Foundation, focusing on the distribution and structured yield products of tokenized real-world assets (RWA). The first product, primeUSD, has entered the private testing phase, open to professional institutional investors, allowing users to participate in leveraged U.S. Treasury yield strategies through stablecoins. Resolv stated that this product combines structured financing experience from traditional finance with on-chain DeFi infrastructure, aiming to build an institutional-level RWA yield distribution platform. In addition, the functionality of the RESOLV token remains unchanged, with staking and unstaking functions restored, and reward distribution resumed on May 26. Resolv emphasized that it will continue to promote the expansion of Vault Street products, upgrade security architecture, and build on-chain infrastructure for institutional-level assets, stating that "the phase from protocol launch to security incident has ended, and Vault Street will open a new chapter for Resolv."

According to Bloomberg, the Dutch government has blocked the proposed acquisition of Dutch cloud service provider Solvinity Group BV by the American company Kyndryl, citing security concerns. Dutch Minister of Digital Economy Willemijn Aerdts stated in a letter to Parliament on Tuesday, "The proposed acquisition of Solvinity may pose a risk to the public interest." She also announced a "complete ban" on the transaction, which was already close to completion.

Fluid released a recap of the Resolv incident, stating that on March 22, Resolv was compromised due to an attack on its signature infrastructure, resulting in the malicious issuance of approximately $80 million in unsecured USR. Fluid faced a risk exposure of about $100 million, leading to approximately $21 million in bad debt. The final plan is as follows: Resolv will bear about $9.7 million, the Fluid governance treasury will bear $8.2 million, the team will bear $1.5 million, and the remaining USR within the protocol has been destroyed by Resolv at the contract level.Fluid stated that its smart contracts were not breached, all user funds are safe, and the protocol maintains full solvency. In addition, Fluid has upgraded its oracle and pricing risk control systems and will suspend buybacks, significantly reduce, or eliminate FLUID incentives.
