Chainnews message: Kimi’s co-founder and head of the algorithm team, Zhou Xinyu, said that Kimi currently has no plans to develop a video generation model. At this stage, the team is more focused on improving the model’s intelligent upper limit. He believes that while video generation is useful, it does not meaningfully help improve a model’s intelligence, whether from a theoretical or practical standpoint. Kimi K3 has just been released, and the key capabilities listed by the official are still software engineering, knowledge work, deep reasoning, and image understanding. Kimi’s multimodal roadmap currently leans more toward understanding and reasoning rather than generating videos.

Coin World Net news: DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng raised $7.4 billion in the most recent funding round, making him the wealthiest AI founder in the world.

Citi Institute in its latest report said the current global tokenized assets market is about $17 billion, and is expected to reach $5.5 trillion under the base-case scenario by 2030. Under the bear and bull case scenarios, it would reach $2.7 trillion and $8.2 trillion, respectively. The report believes that growth is expected to be driven mainly by public-market securities, especially U.S. stocks and Treasuries; on-chain settlement assets such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits will be an important foundation for the expansion of tokenization.

CoinJie.com news, Crypto Regulation 2026 reports that the CLARITY Act is entering a week described as its most important stage. The U.S. Senate will reconvene on July 13, and lawmakers face a narrow window to advance this landmark crypto market structure bill before Congress adjourns on August 7. Investor Kevin O’Leary says the odds of the CLARITY Act becoming law this year are 50-50, but he warns that geopolitical tensions may slow progress. Despite the uncertainty, O’Leary emphasizes that pushing for the passage of the CLARITY Act is becoming increasingly important to the U.S. financial system. He explains that his firm has already started using USDC for cross-border payments, and countries such as Switzerland, France, Denmark, and Finland are accepting this stablecoin for compliant transactions.

Vitalik Unveils Lean Ethereum – Could This Be Ethereum's Biggest Long-Term Upgrade?
Ethereum is once again at the center of the cryptocurrency market after co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced his vision for Lean Ethereum. This is not a single network upgrade or hard fork. Instead, it is a long-term roadmap designed to make Ethereum simpler, faster, more secure, and more scalable over the coming years.
For investors, traders, developers, and long-term holders, this announcement represents one of the most important strategic developments for Ethereum's future.
What Is Lean Ethereum?
Lean Ethereum is a proposal to simplify Ethereum's core architecture while improving performance and security.
The main objectives include:
• Lower transaction fees
• Faster transaction processing
• Better scalability
• Stronger network security
• Improved decentralization
• Better validator efficiency
• Simpler protocol design
• Future quantum-resistant security
Rather than continuously adding complexity, Lean Ethereum focuses on making the blockchain easier to maintain while supporting long-term growth.

Coin World News, Tether announced that it will expand its gold support by launching XAU₮ loan services, allowing users to hold and trade tokenized gold on the Ledn platform. Each XAU₮ token represents one ounce of physical gold stored in a Swiss vault. Ledn stated that users can now hold and trade XAU₮, while loan services based on tokenized gold are expected to launch in 2026. Tether's gold reserves have grown significantly over the past year, with the market value of XAU₮ rising from approximately $2.25 billion to over $3.3 billion. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that as digital assets become increasingly important in the global economy, there is growing demand from users for solutions that combine long-term asset ownership with financial flexibility.

According to an FT report, when Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Trump, joined the prediction market platform Kalshi as a strategic adviser in early 2025, he received approximately $300k in Kalshi equity, at a time when the company’s valuation was under $2 billion. Kalshi’s last-month funding-round valuation has since risen to $22 billion, and it is reportedly in talks to raise funds as early as the third quarter of this year at a valuation of about $40 billion, in which Trump Jr.’s equity may already have generated substantial paper gains. The report said that at the time, Trump Jr. did not invest any of his own capital, but his shares were significantly diluted in Kalshi’s subsequent share issuances.

$BTC | Monthly
As I mentioned a few months back, I was eyeing early July as a potential window for a macro bottom on BTC. The reasoning behind this was purely based on how the Monthly structure was developing.
Back in March, I was expecting a pullback into the Monthly FVG around 79k before continuation towards the downside, with June/July being the months where we could potentially form a macro bottom.
We have seen how accurately that scenario has played out, and now I'm watching a few possible outcomes that could develop near the bottom. The main thing I'm looking for right now is a Monthly close below 59.9k.
That would be the first trigger for a potential early bottom. Ideally, we should see a wick into the 54.5k region, followed by a reclaim of 57.8k before the end of the month. July is where we need to start paying close attention to how the price action develops.
If we manage to respect the June Low throughout July, it would be a strong confirmation that a potential bottom is forming. However, if July creates a new low, then there is a high chance we see a deeper correction towards the 41k-37k region by October.
For now, everything boils down to how this Monthly candle closes and what kind of structure we see developing at the start of the next month.

According to DigitalToday, Hyperliquid's monthly active users increased by 21.8% over the past 5 weeks, reaching 220,760 during the week of June 8 to 14.

According to the Glassnode Market Update, Bitcoin has recently fallen from about $74,000 to below $60,000. The decline is not only driven by ongoing outflows from spot ETFs, but also by a clear slowdown in buy orders for corporate digital asset treasuries (DAT). Analysts said that although the related companies as a whole still remain net buyers, their daily purchase size has dropped from multiple times exceeding $500 million earlier this spring to an extremely low level this month, weakening marginal market demand. The report said that since mid-May, cumulative net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs have exceeded $5.72 billion; on Wednesday, 11 funds saw a single-day net outflow of $213.85 million. (CoinDesk)

Sara Guo refutes the “AI investment hopelessness” claim: quantifiable work is rapidly being commoditized, while the premium is shifting toward implicit work with high verification costs and private correctness. Taking software as an example, in 2024 only 13% of evaluation tasks were solved, and top-tier intelligent agents in swe-bench surpassed 80%; MIT said programming output increased by 180%, while real-world integration only increased by 30%. When you code into cheap commodities, the only way to ensure that complex systems run in reality is to have a moat for capital. Models cannot sign for responsibility—this is the investment logic of Baseten, OpenEvidence, and Harvey. The Conviction Fund invests in 27 companies, with 6 AI unicorns whose combined valuation totals over $620 billion.
