The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the police plan to block the websites of unlicensed trading platforms Octa and XM from June 20

The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the police plan to block the websites of unlicensed trading platforms Octa and XM from June 20. After the blocking takes effect, users will not be able to log in through Singapore Internet service providers.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the police pointed out in a joint statement that the two platforms provided and promoted trading services such as leveraged foreign exchange trading, commodities, indices and stocks to local residents without obtaining licenses and qualifications, in violation of the Securities and Futures Act 2001. The two platforms also have cryptocurrency trading businesses. Most unregulated online trading platforms are located overseas, and the credibility of their operations is difficult to verify, with a high risk of fraud. It is reported that Octa is operated by Octa Markets and Uni Fin Invest, while XM is operated by XM Global.

Next week's macro outlook: CPI data will test the patience of the Fed again, and gold will receive directional signals

According to Jinshi, this week, major US stock indexes closed higher, with the S&P 500 hitting a more than three-month high on Friday. The Dow Jones Index also rose to a three-month high. A better-than-expected non-farm payrolls report eased market concerns about the economy, while Tesla (TSLA.O) rebounded from a sharp drop on Thursday and technology stocks continued to rise. However, as of June 4, US stock funds saw outflows for the third consecutive week due to continued concerns about US trade policy. In terms of commodities, gold prices fell considerably on Thursday and Friday, but still recorded an overall increase this week, closing at $3,311.68 per ounce. It is worth noting that although the number of new non-farm payrolls in the United States in May was slightly better than expected, Trump once again put pressure on the Federal Reserve on social media, urging it to cut interest rates by 100 basis points. The following are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week:

  • 09:30 on Monday, China’s May CPI annual rate;
  • At 22:00 on Monday, the monthly rate of wholesale sales in the United States in April;
  • Monday 23:00, US New York Fed 1-year inflation forecast for May;
  • Tuesday, to be determined, China's May M2 money supply annual rate;
  • Tuesday at 14:00, UK ILO unemployment rate for April, unemployment rate for May, number of unemployment benefit applicants for May;
  • At 15:10 on Tuesday, ECB board member Villeroy will deliver a speech;
  • Tuesday 18:00, US May NFIB Small Business Confidence Index;
  • At 20:30 on Wednesday, the US May CPI data
  • At 22:30 on Wednesday, the U.S. EIA crude oil inventory, Cushing crude oil inventory, and strategic petroleum reserve inventory for the week ending June 6
  • At 14:00 on Thursday, the UK's GDP monthly rate and manufacturing output monthly rate for the three months of April
  • At 14:00 on Thursday, the UK's seasonally adjusted goods trade account and industrial output monthly rate for April
  • At 20:30 on Thursday, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending June 7 and the U.S. PPI in May
  • At 14:00 on Friday, the final monthly rate of German CPI in May
  • At 14:00 on Friday, the final monthly rate of French CPI in May
  • At 22:00 on Friday, the initial value of the US one-year inflation rate forecast for June and the initial value of the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index for June

The U.S. May CPI report, due next Wednesday, will test the market's optimism about rate cuts as it could show that the recent downward trend in inflation has stalled. In terms of other economic data, the U.K. will release its employment report for the three months to April next Tuesday, and the market will focus on whether there are more signs of layoffs.

Musk has deleted the tweet about Trump being in Epstein case

Musk has deleted the tweet that said "President Trump is in the files in Epstein case."

Argentina’s Anti-Corruption Office: Javier Milei’s Libra tweet was a personal act and did not violate public morality regulations

Argentina's Anti-Corruption Office (OA) said that the country's President Javier Milei acted in his personal capacity when promoting the Libra cryptocurrency ($LIBRA) and did not violate the country's public ethics regulations. The investigation report stated: "The promotional posts were not related to administrative actions, no public resources were allocated, and no institutional support was obtained. They should be interpreted as personal or private communications and did not produce any form of official public policy direction."

Javier Milei initially promoted the Libra cryptocurrency on his personal X account as a way to support small businesses and startups in Argentina. But he deleted the post after the token's market value plummeted 90% from its peak of more than $2 billion. The resulting scandal, dubbed "Cryptogate" by local media, led opposition politicians to call for Javier Milei's impeachment and triggered a lawsuit filed by the country's lawyers representing investors who lost money. Javier Milei asked Argentina's Court of Auditors (OA) to conduct an investigation to "determine whether there has been any misconduct by any member of the national government, including the president himself."

Trump says relationship with Musk 'over'

According to CCTV News, on June 7 local time, US President Trump said that if Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates who oppose the Republican budget, he will face "very serious consequences."

Trump said: "If he does this, he will pay a price for it." But he did not disclose the specific measures. Trump added that he has no intention of repairing his relationship with Musk, "I think this relationship is over."

The two recently clashed publicly on social media over the Republican-led budget bill, with Trump saying Musk was "extremely disrespectful of the presidency." Earlier, Musk posted on the social media platform X criticizing the massive tax and spending bill pushed by the US government, attacking Trump, and even forwarding content related to Jeffrey Epstein's old news, which he later deleted.

Trump responded by calling the allegations about Epstein "old stuff" and denied any connection to him.

In addition, Trump also threatened to cancel government contracts and subsidies for Musk's companies, although no action has been taken so far. He stressed that the Republican Party is unprecedentedly united and is optimistic about the smooth passage of the budget.

Hong Kong Treasury Department Xu Zhengyu: Stablecoins can be used as payment functions through blockchain, etc., and holders' redemption requests must be completed within one working day

On June 6, the Hong Kong SAR government published the Stablecoin Ordinance (Effective Date) Notice in the Gazette, specifying that August 1, 2025 is the implementation date of the Stablecoin Ordinance (Chapter 656). On June 7, Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau Director Paul Hui said in an interview that the underlying stablecoin is legal tender, which can be used as a payment function in the future in the form of electronic assets through blockchain and other technologies.

Xu Zhengyu said that the issuers of stablecoins are supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the general principles of supervision are similar to those of traditional financial assets. The relevant issuers must comply with regulations on reserve asset management and redemption, including properly separating customer assets. When stablecoin holders make redemption requests, they must be completed within one working day to meet user requirements.

When talking about the future application scenarios of stablecoins, Xu Zhengyu gave an example. Since stablecoins have payment characteristics, when services or projects are carried out in the "Belt and Road" region, and the local currency exchange rate fluctuates greatly or the financial system is not very mature, there will be certain risks if the local currency is used for payment. In this case, the other party can use stablecoins for payment purposes.

James Wynn: HyperLiquid never paid anyone and its referral program is terrible

James Wynn tweeted that HyperLiquid had never paid any compensation. "HyperLiquid has been contacted twice before, hoping to get some kind of cooperation agreement in return for the attention it brought to them. Although they seemed grateful, they did not offer such an agreement to anyone. Considering that their platform is decentralized and operates differently from ordinary exchanges, this makes sense."

James Wynn claims to have earned about $34,000 through referrals on the HyperLiquid platform. But "given the number of signups and trading volume I brought in, that's terrible. Their referral program sucks. Other platforms have much better referral programs."

Tether CEO: We are looking forward to the next stage of growth for the company, and there is no need to go public at this time

Regarding the analysis that "Tether will reach a market value of 515 billion US dollars if it goes public, surpassing Costco and Coca-Cola to become the 19th largest company in the world", Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that this is a very beautiful number, but considering the current (and growing) Bitcoin + gold reserves, it may be a bit pessimistic, but he is deeply honored for it. At the same time, he is also full of expectations for the company's next stage of growth, but there is no need to go public yet.

BiT Global, associated with Justin Sun, drops lawsuit against Coinbase over wBTC

Law firm BiT Global has agreed to drop its lawsuit against Coinbase for delisting wBTC just two months after launching competing token cbBTC. According to the filing, BiT Global’s lawyers agreed to drop the lawsuit, meaning it cannot be filed again. The two companies agreed to each pay the legal fees incurred in the lawsuit. BiT Global, a law firm backed by Justin Sun, became a “strategic partner” with BitGo last year to launch wBTC.

Cetus Protocol will be back online on June 8

According to the official announcement, Cetus Protocol will be relaunched at 11:00 (UTC+8) on June 8, 2025, and all users will be able to use all the functions of Cetus, including redemption, managing LP positions, adding/removing liquidity, collecting fees and rewards, etc. Liquidity will be supplemented mainly through three channels:

  • Assets recovered from the attacker: These assets were returned after a successful on-chain vote by the Sui validator.
  • Cetus Team Funding: Cetus has committed 100% of its available cash reserves (approximately $7 million in mainstream assets) to cover the liquidity gap.
  • Sui Foundation’s special loan: A $30 million USDC loan has been applied for to support recovery.

If the user's LP holdings are from the affected pools, the liquidity recovery rate for each pool is between 85% and 99%, depending on the extent of the attack on each pool. Due to asset restrictions, it is not possible to immediately restore 100% liquidity to all affected pools. The team will use CETUS tokens to compensate for liquidity losses, and 15% of the CETUS supply will be allocated to the compensation contract (including the team's remaining unvested tokens, accounting for 10% of the total supply). 5% of them will be available immediately upon restart, and the remaining 10% will be unlocked linearly every month over the next 12 months (the same as the previous team's vesting schedule). The official promises not to issue additional tokens and will slightly adjust the release plan. If any assets are recovered later, they will be used to continue to compensate users or repurchase CETUS.

Binance Alpha Launches Open Loot (OL)

UniSat confirms that the loss of a user's assets was an isolated incident and the wallet platform was not hacked

UniSat posted on the X platform that it recently investigated a user's asset loss case, and the results showed that the UniSat wallet or platform had not been hacked. The relevant case was an isolated incident, and no other UniSat wallet users were affected. The possible reason was that the victim's browser extension or remote device access was compromised. UniSat Wallet cannot access user funds or private keys, and has no ability or authority to freeze assets, but will fully cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

UniSat added that since the stolen assets involve brc-20 assets that can be traded on PizzaSwap, the PizzaSwap service will work to limit operations of known hacker addresses, including "Swap", "Increase Liquidity" and "Withdrawal", which will help prevent other UTXOs from being "contaminated" by UTXOs containing stolen assets after entering PizzaSwap.

The End of Fragmentation: Towards a Coherent Ethereum

The End of Fragmentation: Towards a Coherent Ethereum

Author: Prince Compiled by: Block unicorn Ethereum's initial vision was a permissionless, infinitely open platform where anyone with an idea could participate. Its principle is simple: a world computer sharing a single global state view. Ethereum's value lies in the fact that anyone can build useful applications, and that all applications are interconnected. As Ethereum evolves, its scaling roadmap brings both new opportunities and challenges. New closed ecosystems are beginning to emerge. Entrepreneurs seek higher performance or practical ways to make their products stand out. For some developers, the simplest way to achieve this is to create their own blockchain ecosystem. This ecosystem expands in almost every possible direction: new blockchains are launched (horizontal growth), and aggregations are introduced to expand the underlying layers (vertical growth). Other teams choose to build their own dedicated execution and consensus layers (application-specific blockchains) to meet the needs of their projects. Each expansion, viewed individually, is a reasonable decision. But from a broader perspective, this continuous expansion is beginning to undermine the belief that Ethereum will one day become the "world computer." Today, the same assets exist on multiple platforms and in multiple forms. The same exchanges or lending markets appear on every chain. The permissionless nature remains, but the coordination mechanisms are beginning to disappear. As state, assets, liquidity, and applications become increasingly fragmented, what was once an infinite garden is starting to resemble a complex maze. The real cost of fragmentation Fragmentation has not only created technical obstacles, but it has also changed how developers feel when choosing to build applications. The products delivered by each team initially functioned as expected. However, with increasing fragmentation, these teams were forced to migrate identical applications to other chains in order to retain existing users. Each new deployment seemed like progress, but for most developers, it felt like starting from scratch. Liquidity gradually eroded, and users left with it. Ethereum continues to grow and thrive, but it has gradually lost its community cohesion. Although the ecosystem remains active and continues to grow, individual interests have begun to take precedence over coordination and connection. This boundless garden is beginning to show signs of overgrowth and neglect. No one did anything wrong. Everyone followed the incentive mechanism. Over time, all that remained was exhaustion. Abundance was brought without permission, yet within this abundance, the very foundation that once held everything together began to crumble. Return of coherence MegaETH represents Ethereum's first real opportunity to scale block space supply to meet demand within a single execution environment. Currently, the L2 block space market is congested. Most projects are vying for the same user base, offering largely similar block space. Throughput bottlenecks persist, and high activity on individual sequencers artificially inflates transaction costs. Despite significant technological advancements, only a handful of scaling solutions have truly improved the user and developer experience. MegaETH aims to change that. It is one of the closest attempts to realizing Ethereum's original vision—building a world computer. By providing an execution environment with latency below 10 milliseconds, gigabit gas caps, and ultra-low-cost transactions, the MegaETH team is striving to achieve the vision of a world computer. All data is processed on a single shared state (ignoring privacy concerns for now), and real-time execution should be a guiding light for our industry and the only way we can truly compete with Web 2.0. As a founder building on MegaETH, what impressed me most wasn't the speed or millisecond-level latency, but rather that after many years, all applications built on Ethereum can finally connect and stay in sync, and at a low cost with short wait times. When all contracts and transactions reside in the same state machine, complex coordination mechanisms become simple again. Developers no longer need to struggle with latency or spend time optimizing contracts to improve gas efficiency; users no longer need to worry about which "version" of network they are transacting on. This is what MegaETH means by "Big Sequencer Energy": Ethereum possesses a high-performance execution layer built specifically for real-time applications. For the first time in years, users can build applications within the Ethereum execution environment without worrying about their location. All users can once again share the same execution environment, enabling latency-sensitive applications such as high-frequency trading, on-chain order books, real-time lending, and fully on-chain multiplayer games—features currently impossible due to Ethereum's resource limitations. Enter: MegaMafia In the context of MegaETH, those who experienced fragmentation are beginning to rebuild. We all know what we lost when everything fell apart. Now, the system is finally able to stay in sync, and it feels like moving forward rather than sideways. Each team works on a different level: transactions, credit, infrastructure, gaming, and more. But their goal is the same: to make Ethereum a unified whole again. MegaETH provides that opportunity, and MegaMafia has given it shape. The focus now is no longer on deploying more of the same applications, but on rebuilding the infrastructure so that the parts that are already working well can finally work together. Avon's role in world computing Avon brought the same concept to the credit market. Of all DeFi categories, lending is most severely affected by fragmentation. Each protocol operates on different versions of the same concept. Each market has its own liquidity, rules, and risks. Anyone who's used these markets knows the feeling. You check interest rates on one app, then compare them on another, and still don't know which is more reliable. Liquidity stagnates because it can't flow between different protocols. Avon introduces a coordination layer instead of deploying another pool of funds. Its order book connects different strategies (independent markets), enabling them to respond to each other in real time. You can think of it as many pools of funds connected through a shared layer (i.e., the order book). When one changes, the others are aware of it. Over time, the lending market will once again function as a single, interconnected market. Liquidity will flow to where the most competitive conditions are available. Borrowers will obtain the most competitive interest rates possible. Coordination is not just about optimizing interest rates or controlling them. More importantly, it's about providing a unified perspective on lending during market fluctuations. Towards a coherent Ethereum Ethereum doesn't need another chain. It needs a central hub where people gather and maintain Ethereum. MegaETH provides the trading venue. MegaMafia will provide the trading power. Avon will provide the coordination layer, enabling funds to flow within the system. Ethereum has faced fragmentation issues for the past few years; we believe MegaETH will drive Ethereum toward realizing its vision of becoming a world computer and reaching an unprecedented scale. As Ethereum begins to regain its rhythm, MegaETH will ensure that builders can do this at a near-infinite scale.
