He plans to close the new position again if a rebound occurs. The total size of the position was not disclosed.

Nasdaq-listed Cypherpunk Technologies (CYPH), a company that acquires Zcash (ZEC), has praised the Zcash team for its handling of a recent vulnerability. In a statement on its official X account, Cypherpunk Technologies said that while AI will find vulnerabilities in all blockchains, the crucial factor is having a team that can discover them before malicious actors. The company added that the Zcash team has proven this capability. The comment follows the recent discovery of a vulnerability in Zcash, dubbed the Orchard infinite inflation bug, which led to a sharp decline in the price of ZEC. However, some observers have noted that the Zcash team has since fixed the bug. They also argue that the issue was not an infinite inflation flaw and that there is no evidence it was ever exploited.

A new report from Binance Research projects that crypto exchanges could drive up to $2 trillion in new capital and attract approximately 300 million new investors to the global stock market by 2031 through stock tokenization. According to BeInCrypto, the report suggests that crypto exchanges will serve as a gateway for stock investment, extending beyond their traditional role in digital assets. Under an optimistic scenario, the annual inflow of funds from crypto users into the stock market could reach $5 trillion within the next five years. The research highlights a disparity in stock ownership, noting that while about 62% of the U.S. population holds stocks directly or indirectly, this figure remains below 20% in most other regions. It also points out that approximately 93% of the initial users of Binance's stock trading service came from emerging markets, indicating strong demand in areas with limited access to global equities. The report concludes that the expansion of the tokenized stock market hinges on the regulatory environment, user adoption, and the overall growth of the market itself. Binance officially launched its U.S. stock trading service and its proprietary stock tokenization platform, bStocks, on June 1.

Rand Hindi, CEO of the Ethereum-based privacy protocol Zama, has described the current downturn as the worst bear market in the history of cryptocurrency. In a post on X, Hindi, who has been in the market since 2013, stated that this decline has been the most challenging. He argued that previous crises—such as China's ban on Bitcoin, the collapses of FTX and Luna, the Mt. Gox incident, and actions by former U.S. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler—were not as disheartening as the current situation where AI can attack smart contracts with simple commands. He added that those who survive this market will become invincible and will lead the emergence of trillion-dollar protocols. Hindi also suggested that the current conditions are perfect for a large-scale sell-off, citing a combination of a liquidity shift from the SpaceX IPO, Bitcoin sales by Strategy founder Michael Saylor, and hacks on AI-based protocols.

A single whale is facing $6.65 million in losses amid a downturn in ZEC and HYPE, according to Onchain Lens. The address's 10x leveraged ZEC long position is down by over $3.2 million, while its 2x leveraged HYPE long position has lost $1.567 million. The whale is also known to hold long positions in NEAR, TON, ASTER, and XMR.

Bitcoin is retesting its February low of $62,000 and attempting to break below it, according to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. In a blog post, he noted that selling pressure is intensifying as the price approaches this level, leading to more severe realized losses than during the previous dip in February. Adler Jr. explained that the current net realized loss is approximately $7 billion, which is higher than at the February price bottom but still below the $14 billion peak seen during last winter's capitulation phase. He highlighted that only two key support levels remain below the current price: $54,000, which is the average realized price for the entire network, and $49,000, the average purchase price for long-term holders. Both of these levels have historically marked the entry into full capitulation phases in past cycles. Adler Jr. emphasized that as long as the $54,000 level holds, the market will not enter a full capitulation. However, he warned that if the February low is broken and the price enters the average purchase price zone, it could signal the start of a major downtrend.

The frequency of on-chain attacks against cryptocurrency projects has tripled since the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, according to an analysis by BlockBeats. The media outlet explained that the monthly average of such incidents was just 3.7 between 2020 and 2021, before AI became mainstream. In the period since, the average has surged to 10.4 attacks per month, with a cumulative total of 250 attacks recorded. Attacks have become even more frequent this year as AI capabilities have significantly improved, the report noted. "This suggests that AI technology is being used to automate and increase the frequency of vulnerability discovery and attack techniques," BlockBeats stated. "The importance of smart contract security audits and real-time monitoring across the cryptocurrency ecosystem is also being emphasized."

On-chain analyst ZachXBT announced on his Telegram channel that he has downgraded cryptocurrency exchange Kraken from its top S-tier rating to B-tier. He cited the exchange's listing of low-quality tokens suspected of manipulation, such as M, RAIN, and RIVER, without sufficient due diligence. ZachXBT also pointed to the absence of any mention of victim compensation in Kraken's recent announcement regarding a hacking incident. He noted that other major exchanges like Coinbase and Bybit have prioritized user compensation following security incidents. "I will increase the bounty to up to $100,000 for whistleblowers who provide internal documents—including business contracts, full conversation logs, and market-making (MM) agreements—related to exchange price manipulation," ZachXBT stated. He added that such practices will likely continue until regulators or the public make an example of one of the teams involved in price manipulation.
