Headlines
Trump: Cancels planned military strike on Iran scheduled for tomorrow
Odaily Planet Daily reports that President Trump stated he received requests from the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the UAE, wishing to postpone the planned military strike on Iran scheduled for tomorrow, due to ongoing serious negotiations. They believe that an agreement can be reached, which will be highly acceptable to the United States and Middle Eastern countries, as well as the broader region. Key contents of the agreement will include: Iran must not possess nuclear weapons! Out of respect for the aforementioned leaders, I have instructed Defense Secretary Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Daniel Kane, and the U.S. military to cancel the planned strike on Iran tomorrow. However, I have also further instructed them to be prepared to execute a large-scale and comprehensive military strike on Iran immediately if an acceptable agreement is not reached. (Golden Ten)
Revised proposal from Iran has been submitted to the U.S. side
Odaily Planet Daily reports that sources in Pakistan stated that Pakistan has submitted the revised proposal proposed by Iran to end the war to the United States, and the U.S. side has received the related proposal. (CCTV News)
Insiders: The U.S. accepts temporary lifting of oil sanctions on Iran in new negotiation text
Odaily Planet Daily reports that insiders close to the negotiation team revealed that the U.S. has accepted to temporarily lift oil sanctions on Iran during the negotiation in the new text, which was not included in the previous U.S. text.
Iran insists that the exemption from all sanctions against Iran must be part of U.S. commitments, while the U.S. proposed temporary overseas asset control exemptions before reaching a final agreement.
U.S. Officials: Iran's latest proposal is insufficient for reaching an agreement
Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to U.S. media AXIOS, a senior U.S. official and an informed source stated that Iran has submitted an updated ceasefire agreement proposal, but the White House believes that the proposal does not contain substantial improvements and is insufficient to reach an agreement. U.S. officials stated that Trump wants to reach an agreement to end the war, but due to Iran's rejection of many of his requests and refusal to make significant concessions on its nuclear program, he is considering resuming the war.
U.S. officials stated that if Iran does not change its position, the U.S. will have to continue negotiations "with bombs." A senior U.S. official stated: "We have not made much progress. The Iranians need to show sincerity. We need to engage in genuine, solid, and detailed dialogue regarding the nuclear program. If dialogue cannot proceed, we will have to resort to dialogue through bombs, which would be regrettable." (Golden Ten)
Trump to host Walsh's swearing-in ceremony at the White House
Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to The Wall Street Journal, White House officials disclosed that Trump will host the swearing-in ceremony for incoming Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh on Friday at the White House. This ceremony highlights Trump's high regard for this appointment. Trump nominated Jerome Powell to lead the Federal Reserve during his first term in 2018, and Powell's swearing-in ceremony was held at the Federal Reserve, with Trump not attending. The last Federal Reserve Chairman to be sworn in at the White House was Alan Greenspan, who took office in 1987. Since then, all ceremonies have been held at the Federal Reserve. The last president to attend such a ceremony was George Bush, who was present at Bernanke's swearing-in ceremony in 2006. Later that year, Walsh was sworn in as a Federal Reserve governor at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building by Vice President Dick Cheney. The swearing-in ceremony this Friday will mark the end of an unusually long transition for the Federal Reserve leadership. (Golden Ten)

Judge dismisses Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman
Odaily Planet Daily reports that OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman have been found not liable by a U.S. jury for Elon Musk's lawsuit, as Musk filed the lawsuit too late. The jury found that the allegations against OpenAI for deviating from its "charitable mission" were time-barred and therefore not actionable. Previously, Elon Musk accused OpenAI of betraying its mission of benefiting the public under Sam Altman's leadership and transforming into a for-profit company. (Golden Ten)
Anthropic to report on Mythos model to global financial regulators

Both the Financial Stability Board and Anthropic declined to comment on their recent communications. (Interface)

Samsung Electronics and union government mediation negotiations will continue until tomorrow
Odaily Planet Daily reports, according to market news: negotiations for government mediation between Samsung Electronics and the union will continue until tomorrow.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nomura released a report stating that AI-driven demand is growing exponentially, with limited supply in memory, and memory stocks are expected to undergo valuation reassessment. The firm has drastically raised the target prices for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, with Samsung's target price rising from 340,000 won to 590,000 won, and SK Hynix's target price increasing from 2,340,000 won to 4,000,000 won, both rated as "buy." Nomura stated that as AI semiconductor demand shifts from training to inference workloads, memory demand is entering a period of exponential expansion.
In contrast, the firm believes that the growth in industry supply during the same period may still be limited to about 5 to 6 times (annual compound growth rate of about 30%), raising serious questions about whether the structural supply demand imbalance can be truly resolved. The firm mentioned that the industry is currently trying to narrow this increasingly widening supply-demand gap through various software and architectural optimizations, but Nomura believes these solutions can only slow down the growth rate without reversing the trend.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner has updated his "Situational Awareness Fund" stock holdings as of the end of Q1 2026.
The disclosure shows that his main investment direction is focused on AI power, data centers, computing infrastructure, and Bitcoin mining companies. Notably, his holdings in Bloom Energy amount to $878.7 million, Sandisk at $724.4 million, and CoreWeave at $556.1 million.
In addition, he is heavily invested in companies like Iren Limited, Core Scientific, Applied Digital, Riot Platforms, Cleanspark, Bitdeer, and Bitfarms, as well as semiconductor-related stocks like AMD, Intel, TSMC, ASML, and Micron.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Goldman Sachs sharply reduced its crypto ETF exposure in Q1 2026, completely divesting its XRP and Solana-related ETF holdings.
Documents show that Goldman Sachs held approximately $154 million in XRP-related ETFs in Q4 2025, which included products from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares, making it one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETFs at that time. Additionally, it had previously held Grayscale's Solana Trust ETF, Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF, and Fidelity's Solana Fund, but has also completely exited these positions.
However, Goldman Sachs still maintains a significant position in BTC and ETH ETFs. Specifically, it holds about $690 million in BlackRock's IBIT and around $25 million in Fidelity's FBTC, although both positions have decreased by approximately 10% from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, its position in BlackRock's ETHA has shrunk by about 70%, with about 7.2 million shares remaining, worth around $114 million.
In addition, Goldman Sachs has increased its holdings in crypto-related stocks such as Circle, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal, while reducing its positions in mining and infrastructure companies like Strategy, Bit Digital, Riot Platforms, and IREN. (Cointelegraph)

Korea FSC reviews whether Hana Bank's acquisition of Dunamu shares violates regulatory rules
Odaily Planet Daily reports that the South Korean Financial Commission (FSC) is reviewing whether Hana Bank's acquisition of Dunamu shares violates the "separation of finance and virtual assets" regulatory rules.
The virtual asset department of the Korean Financial Commission stated that Hana Bank holds Dunamu shares indirectly through its acquisition of Kakao Investment's shares, which essentially constitutes an investment in a virtual asset trading platform, and therefore will be reviewed under the same regulatory standards.
Reports indicate that since 2017, the South Korean government has restricted financial institutions from holding, purchasing virtual assets, or investing in related companies through administrative guidance. If ultimately deemed a violation, the related transactions by Hana Bank may not be completed.
Furthermore, Future Asset Consulting is currently also promoting the acquisition of Kobit’s operating rights, while Korea Investment & Securities is taking a cautious stance on related business. Hana Bank had previously announced plans to acquire approximately 6.55% of Dunamu shares but did not consult with regulatory authorities in advance. (iNews24)

Currently, other bridged assets have not been affected. The Verus network has been suspended, and most block-producing nodes have proactively gone offline after the attack was affected. The development team is conducting a thorough investigation of the extent of the incident, attack path, and subsequent solutions, and will announce progress after confirming more information.

Verus also reminds anyone claiming to be a part of the Verus team or community in public channels, private messages, or other channels offering "compensation" or "reimbursement plans" to be a scammer. The official emphasizes not to interact with anyone claiming to have compensation projects or offering reimbursement and to promptly report related accounts to Discord or platform X.

Regulatory Policies
Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to launch a new regulatory framework for tokenized stock trading, possibly to be announced as early as this week. It is reported that the SEC is studying an "innovation exemption" mechanism that would allow trading platforms to provide on-chain digital versions of listed securities under less strict regulatory conditions. This move is seen as an important signal of the U.S. regulatory body's further shift towards supporting tokenized securities.
Currently, several Wall Street institutions are accelerating the layout of related businesses. The U.S. Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to launch limited production trading of tokenized assets in July and expand its rollout in October; Nasdaq is developing a blockchain-based stock issuance framework; ICE is working with OKX to promote tokenized stocks and crypto-related products.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins previously stated that the SEC is considering formulating formal rules for on-chain trading systems, blockchain settlement infrastructure, and crypto custody models, and that existing securities regulations struggle to adapt to the integrated trading, settlement, and clearing of on-chain protocols.

White House crypto advisor: CLARITY Act can meet about 90% of industry regulatory needs
Odaily Planet Daily reports that White House crypto policy advisor Patrick Witt stated that if the Clarity Act is smoothly passed, it can provide approximately 90% of the regulatory framework and policy certainty needed by the crypto industry. This legislation is viewed as one of the most critical in the current U.S. crypto regulatory system and is expected to achieve an important balance between compliance, market structure, and industry development. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Jeong Tae-ho, a staff member of the Democratic Party at the Korean National Assembly's Finance and Economy Committee, stated that the taxation of crypto assets (digital assets) has been postponed multiple times, and now "since it has already been delayed, it should be implemented as planned." Once the tax reform proposal is submitted to the Finance Committee, formal discussions will begin within the party; however, any supplemental issues will be reassessed during the specific review phase.
It is noteworthy that this stance is significantly firmer compared to his earlier statements in April suggesting a comprehensive view on digital asset taxation and aligns with government direction. South Korean finance officials have previously confirmed that the income tax plan related to digital assets is set to be implemented as scheduled from January 1, 2027.
Meanwhile, several within the ruling party have also reinforced their stance on taxation, opposing the policy direction advocated by opposition parties to eliminate the tax, suggesting that the crypto tax issue in South Korea may escalate further in discussions surrounding the year-end budget and tax reform.

Voices
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine, stated on platform X that recent selling pressure on Ethereum mainly comes from short-term macro factors, among which rising oil prices are currently the biggest negative disturbance. Oil prices have been rising for the past six weeks, and ETH has shown an inverse correlation with oil prices at historical high levels (rising oil prices correspond to ETH downwards). If oil prices fall, ETH prices are expected to restore accordingly.
Tom Lee emphasized that these fluctuations are short-term trading noise, while the long-term core driver for ETH remains the tokenization of assets and the development of "Agentic AI" applications. He expects that as structural trends continue to advance, ETH will perform more strongly around 2026.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, stated on platform X: “Next, patiently wait for bottom-catching opportunities. The essence of investment and trading is to restrain greed and control panic; the following phases may be the most fearful in the crypto circle, with high purchases of BTC facing the final round of massive liquidation. The crypto industry faces five major crises: young people are no longer interested, traditional funds are mainly into AI, crypto narratives are continuously debunked, various celebrities come to the crypto circle to make money and leave, and the industry leaders lack innovation and Build.”
