On June 19, the Microsoft Security Blog reported that the Microsoft security research team discovered a new cryptocurrency theft Trojan named Crypto Clipper. This malware has been active since February 2026, primarily spreading among Windows users through malicious .lnk shortcuts via USB devices. Crypto Clipper includes a built-in Tor client that connects to .onion hidden services through a local SOCKS5 proxy, enabling covert C2 communication. Its main functions include high-frequency clipboard monitoring, stealing mnemonic phrases and private keys, replacing cryptocurrency transfer addresses, capturing screenshots and uploading them, as well as receiving remote code execution commands. Microsoft stated that this malware has worm-like propagation capabilities, automatically hiding original documents on USB drives and generating malicious shortcuts with the same name, while also creating scheduled tasks for persistent control. Researchers have detected it as Trojan:Win32/CryptoBandits.A and recommend that users disable autorun for removable devices, restrict script interpreter execution permissions, and closely monitor localhost:9050 Tor proxy traffic and abnormal clipboard access behaviors.

According to monitoring by Beating, former White House AI advisor and senior researcher at the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI), Dean Ball, announced that he will officially join OpenAI on July 6 as the head of the newly established 'Strategic Futures' team. Ball will report directly to OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer, Jason Kwon, while retaining his position as a non-resident senior researcher at FAI. The newly formed 'Strategic Futures' team is a small, highly autonomous policy team focused on shaping cutting-edge AI policy and internal governance. Its specific areas of work include catastrophic risk prevention, recursive self-improvement of large models, the impact of technology on the labor market, and communication with stakeholders such as frontier laboratories and the U.S. federal government. The team's responsibilities span external policy initiatives and internal mechanism design, requiring collaboration with technical developers, the preparedness team, legal team, and national security and global affairs team. Dean Ball previously served as a White House AI advisor and was involved in drafting the U.S. government's AI action plan. In his personal blog, Ball stated that his decision to join OpenAI stems from his views on cutting-edge AI governance. He believes that while AI requires regulation, it will also become a new governance technology, and the most critical AI governance decisions are likely to be made within laboratories rather than external institutions. To promote substantive AI policy research, it is essential to engage with frontline development to understand the underlying technology. The 'Strategic Futures' team is currently recruiting interdisciplinary members. Ball revealed that while the team's work heavily relies on an understanding of underlying technologies, it does not require applicants to have a professional background in machine learning or AI policy. Ball aims to build a team with diverse disciplinary perspectives and heterogeneous knowledge structures, and communication channels have been opened to the outside.

On June 19, on-chain analyst Murphy stated that the net holdings of long-term holders (LTH) have reached a new all-time high. As of June 17, the LTH net holding amount reached 14.96 million BTC, an increase of 20,000 BTC compared to the peak formed on March 27. This marks the second time that LTH net holdings have set a new high since BTC entered the bear market. An increasing amount of BTC is no longer willing to participate in short-term trading, with 75% of the total circulating supply now held by LTH. Historically, the bottom of each bear market tends to occur after LTH net holdings begin to rise, indicating that 'holdings increase' precedes 'bottom formation.' In the last cycle, LTH net holdings experienced three new highs, corresponding to three significant sell-offs, which occurred during the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike expectations, the Luna collapse, and the FTX bankruptcy. Currently, this cycle has seen its second new high. The key factor is not how many times a new high is reached, but whether the scale of previous LTH sell-offs shows a clear declining trend. If this sell-off scale is lower than the last one, it indicates that selling pressure is gradually diminishing, suggesting that the true bear market bottom may have already formed or is not far off.
