币界网报道:

DeFi教育基金(DEF)周一与True Return Systems(TRS)达成协议,购买类似甲骨文技术的专利。这项有争议的专利是针对MakerDAO和Compound这两个去中心化金融协议的两起法律诉讼的核心。

预言机是将区块链连接到外部系统(如数字资产价格馈送)的实体,是DeFi中的关键工具。此次收购结束了与该公司的斗争,DEF曾将其描述为“专利流氓”

根据DEF的说法,TRS在2022年起诉MakerDAO和Compound使用类似甲骨文的技术,声称拥有“一种将计算机化账本的存储和处理分离以改善功能的方法和系统”的所有权。但该倡导组织以及这两项协议的律师对这些指控表示异议,认为专利诉讼有些过头。

DEF首席法律顾问Amanda Tuminelli周一对Decrypt表示:“Oracle技术对DeFi领域非常重要,所以……我们看到了一个潜在的问题,可能会导致开发人员或用户的权利受到侵犯。”。

国防部拒绝透露和解金额,理由是谈判的“保密”性质。

法庭文件显示,TRS的诉讼试图禁止这些协议“制造、使用或销售”基于类似甲骨文技术的产品。但事实并非如此。TRS周一提出终止对这些协议的诉讼。该决定是在该公司同意将其专利出售给DEF后不久做出的。

Tuminelli告诉Decrypt,此次专利购买不仅保证了MakerDAO和Compound可以继续使用类似oracle的技术来为其链上价格馈送提供动力,还确保了其他协议可以将该技术用于许多其他应用程序。

图米内利说:“任何使用类似甲骨文技术的协议……都可能是下一个。”。“现在,这项专利不能用来对付任何人。”

DEF表示,计划将该专利奉献给公众,这意味着每一项协议都将拥有使用其知识产权申请中提到的类似甲骨文的技术的合法权利。

DEF多年来一直在与这项专利作斗争,于2023年底向美国专利商标局提交了一份请愿书,要求废除TRS的专利,试图废除针对MakerDAO和Compound的诉讼依据。

DEF去年9月在推特上发帖称:“ICYMI,我们向美国专利商标局申请取消一项专利,该专利被一名‘专利流氓’用来起诉DAO和‘协议’。”。然而,它最终决定购买该专利,从而更快地结束了这件事。

图米内利说:“我们认为解决所有问题的最有效方法——我们的请愿书和这两起诉讼——就是解决这个案件。”。

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.

Interview with MicroStrategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Selling Stir, 6 Trillion AI Agents are the Ultimate Endgame for Bitcoin

Interview with Strategy CEO: Beyond the 32 BTC Sale, 6 Trillion AI Agents are Bitcoin's Ultimate Endgame Strategy CEO Phong Le discusses the recent sale of 32 BTC, clarifying it was a minor, strategic move to demonstrate operational liquidity and internal process robustness to creditors and rating agencies, not a reaction to market fears. He emphasizes Strategy's disciplined, data-driven decision-making framework involving its board and complex financial modeling, distancing the company from centralized "black box" operations seen elsewhere in crypto. Le outlines the company's resilience and long-term focus, citing the "doing nothing" strategy during the 2022 bear market as a testament to its conviction in Bitcoin's underlying value proposition for global sovereignty and freedom. He reveals that generative AI was instrumental in developing their Stretch (STRC) preferred stock product, cutting development time from years to months. The most visionary part of the discussion centers on Agentic AI. Le envisions a future with 6 trillion autonomous AI agents conducting commerce, particularly in off-world environments like Mars, which would naturally adopt decentralized crypto rails and seek yield-bearing assets like Bitcoin as a core store of value. Finally, Le addresses the STRC product, expressing confidence it will return to its $100 par value through reserve replenishment and the initiation of dividend payments, and dismisses concerns about competition with stablecoins. He concludes by affirming Strategy's philosophy of expanding Bitcoin access through all available means, from self-custody to ETFs, to onboard the next wave of users.
