According to The Block, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik stated that the number of AI trading agents is expected to surpass human traders in about two years. Nansen is shifting its product from a pure analytics tool to "direct trading" and is restructuring the platform around "trading all assets on-chain with agents." Currently, this feature has achieved a cumulative trading volume of over $500 million.Svanevik mentioned that about 10 of the top 15 perpetual contracts by trading volume on Nansen are non-crypto assets, including SpaceX, the S&P 500 index, gold, and crude oil. Nansen plans to open up higher autonomy trading agents after completing backtesting and paper trading to reduce inference costs and control the risk of input poisoning.

According to Business Insider, Musk reiterated and refined the timeline: within about 5 years, overall AI intelligence may surpass the total human intelligence; within about 10 years, humans are likely to no longer dominate (the intelligence gap is far greater than that between chimpanzees and humans). He stated that AI can do better in almost all aspects except "being human" itself.Musk believes the most likely outcome of AI development is an "era of astonishing abundance," where robots + AI can produce goods and services far exceeding human consumption capacity, allowing anyone to have whatever they want. By around 2036, "money may no longer matter."He believes that the government could directly issue checks to the public (similar to universal basic income), as output surges, and deflation is more likely to occur rather than inflation; the traditional logic of taxation/re-distribution may fail under the new paradigm. He accepts that there is about a 10-20% risk of human extinction from AI, but believes that the momentum of development is unstoppable, having reached a "philosophical conclusion": if it cannot be stopped, then join in and "enjoy the journey."

In a 90-minute interview with The Economist, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, stated that artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence levels within the next five years and predicted that in about ten years, AI and robotics might drive the world into a "highly affluent era." Musk believes that once AI systems and robots possess sufficiently powerful digital intelligence and production capabilities, the global economy could approach a state of "infinite supply," making human labor no longer a necessary condition for survival, and the importance of currency may gradually decline.He stated that in the future, if the number of robots is sufficient, society will have a "quasi-infinite economy," where artificial intelligence can produce goods and services that exceed human consumption capacity. He even predicted that by around 2036, the importance of the traditional currency system might significantly decrease. Regarding future economic operating models, Musk mentioned that governments might maintain social operations by directly distributing funds to the public and believes that the productivity improvements brought by AI could lead to deflation rather than inflation.However, regarding issues such as corporate profit models, government fiscal sources, and social transformation, Musk acknowledged that the economic structure in the age of artificial intelligence might differ greatly from traditional economic laws. Additionally, Musk discussed the integration of AI with space development. He indicated that in the future, data centers deployed in space might be used to support AI computing and reiterated the long-term plan for human exploration of Mars. In the interview, Musk also reflected on his previous involvement in the Trump administration's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). He admitted that he had invested too much energy in the political arena, "got a bit sidetracked," and stated that if he could choose again, he might spend more time on his own companies.

Chairman of Bitmine, Tom Lee, stated in an interview that AI is approaching the so-called "uncanny valley of wealth." At some point in the future, the income generated by AI entities owned by individuals may exceed their own labor income.Tom Lee believes that when this moment arrives, people may begin to question "whether they are working for AI or AI is working for them." He also predicts that in the future, AI entities may take over bank accounts, replace certain job positions, and even construct independent financial systems, admitting that this trend "may instill fear about the future in people."

Aksakov mentioned that the bill will "combat the illegal use of cryptocurrencies" while providing a legal framework for international settlements.According to the bill, non-professional investors must pass a special test to purchase cryptocurrencies, with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles, restricted to trading through licensed institutions, and can only buy the most liquid crypto assets. The bill was originally set to take effect on July 1 but has been postponed to September 1. The Duma's Financial Market Committee has previously rejected several amendments to ease restrictions, including increasing the purchase limit for non-professional investors and allowing the use of non-custodial wallets. If passed, the bill will also require approval from the Federation Council and the president's signature.

For non-professional investors, the annual limit through a single intermediary is set at 300,000 rubles, and it is limited to "the most liquid cryptocurrencies." The bill also introduces a two-day freeze on large transfers to foreign and third parties. Aksakov did not clarify whether the proposal to prohibit Russians from using non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets would be retained.

According to The Block, Humanity Protocol founder Terence Kwok publicly responded for the first time after the project suffered an attack of approximately $36 million, stating that the team will reduce its focus on blockchain and decentralized identity projects and shift towards enterprise-level AI products and services.Kwok stated that the attack originated from the developer's device being compromised, rather than a smart contract vulnerability; the probability of recovering the stolen funds is low, and the current focus will be on token migration, claims and compensation processes, as well as subsequent business reconstruction.

Digital Currency Group (DCG) subsidiary Yuma announced the launch of a market-wide fund aimed at providing investment opportunities in the Bittensor network's native token TAO and its subnet ecosystem through a single investment strategy.

According to on-chain detective ZachXBT's monitoring, it was found that signs of mixing appeared in the funds stolen from the Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO vulnerability attacks one hour ago, indicating that there may be an overlap between the attackers of these two incidents.Based on this new evidence, it can be largely ruled out that the theft case of Humanity Protocol was committed by an insider.

According to Business Insider, Worldcoin developer Tools For Humanity previously hired two law firms to investigate internal financial irregularities, employee classification, and whether there were violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in its operations in Thailand.The report also stated that the investigation involves allegations of senior management approving large payments to foreign companies to boost the performance of Worldcoin tokens. The company stated that after the investigation, it has terminated its relationships with Thai partners and strengthened internal compliance policies and due diligence processes, and currently has not found sufficient evidence to prove that the company or its employees violated relevant anti-bribery laws.

According to on-chain data monitoring, the Humanity Protocol ($H) Foundation's related addresses have completed the planned token transfers, involving a "3:10" structured hedging profit-taking plan aimed at early investors, with a token scale exceeding 540 million. According to the previously announced schedule, the related tokens will officially enter the unlocking process on June 25, marking that the plan has completed the preparatory work for payment and has entered the formal performance stage.Previously, Humanity Protocol underwent a series of ecological recovery processes due to a hacking incident, including promoting a 1:1 exchange of new and old tokens for real holding users on exchanges, and implementing KYC and AML compliance verification for the abnormal on-chain issuance chips generated after the attack to reduce market circulation risks. The timely advancement of this unlocking plan is seen as an important progress node for the project in fulfilling commitments to investors and restoring ecological order after the security incident.Humanity Protocol mainly focuses on AI identity verification and Web3 identity infrastructure. As the demand for AI agents, real-person verification, anti-witch attacks, and on-chain identity applications continues to grow, this sector still has long-term development potential. If Humanity Protocol can continue to promote product and application implementation after completing token migration and ecological recovery, its subsequent performance will still attract market attention.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the Humanity Protocol attacker has exchanged part of the stolen funds for USDC and deposited them into KuCoin.
