On June 18, a Republican congressman from the United States prepared to introduce a provision that would prohibit members of Congress and their families from placing bets on prediction markets related to policies, politics, and elections. The provision, proposed by Wisconsin Republican Bryan Steil, will be attached to a bill currently under consideration. This bill will also prohibit members of Congress from purchasing new individual stocks unless they are buying stocks with dividends from existing holdings. House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump both support the bill. (Wall Street Journal)

On June 18, Scott Rubner, head of equity and equity derivatives strategy at Castle Securities, stated that US stocks may experience a period of heightened volatility over the next two weeks, primarily due to technical factors rather than changes in fundamentals. He pointed out that starting June 19, the market will face the largest options expiry in history, coinciding with quarterly pension portfolio rebalancing and concentrated adjustments in major investor positions. He referred to this phase as 'one of the most critical technical periods of the year,' where the importance of capital flows will clearly outweigh fundamental factors. Despite short-term disruptions, Rubner advised investors to view the volatility as a 'technical phenomenon' and to take advantage of dips during market corrections. He believes that once the next two weeks and the quarter-end milestone are passed, the market environment will significantly improve. Rubner noted that retail investor behavior is changing: 'Unlike in the past when they only chased high-risk assets, retail investors are increasingly focusing on companies that align with institutional allocations and can drive benchmark index performance.' More critically, American households currently hold record levels of cash, waiting for a market correction to enter. He pointed out that this funding characteristic typically only changes when the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) rises above 30, while the current VIX is around 16, still at a low level. Supported by multiple sources of capital, Rubner assesses that the 'main theme remains upward' for US stocks as they enter the second half of the year.

Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, issued a statement announcing her decision to formally resign from her positions as Co-Executive Director and board member of the Ethereum Foundation, effective immediately after her leave. Wang stated that her time off allowed her to reassess her personal priorities and future plans, leading her to step back at this juncture and dedicate more time to her family and personal life. In her statement, Wang reflected on her contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem over the past decade, emphasizing that the true strength of Ethereum comes from the decentralized infrastructure maintained by global developers, researchers, validators, node operators, and community builders, rather than any single role or organization. She noted that although she is leaving the foundation's management, she will continue to support ecosystem development as a community member. Vitalik Buterin subsequently expressed his gratitude, stating that Wang has been one of the most steadfast contributors to the Ethereum ecosystem over the past ten years, not only advancing research and consensus mechanisms but also establishing an active local community in Taipei, Taiwan. Vitalik remarked that during a critical transformation period for Ethereum, Wang took on the foundation's most challenging management responsibilities and completed her mission with a high degree of professionalism and prudence.

On June 18, Howard Marks, co-founder of Oaktree Capital, discussed whether the current market is experiencing 'irrational exuberance' and the opportunities and risks under the AI investment boom in a recent podcast. He noted that the current market can be described using Alan Greenspan's words from 30 years ago; we are in a 'boom,' but no one can definitively say whether it is 'irrational.' Using SpaceX's impending IPO with a valuation of nearly $2 trillion as an example, he stated that deciding whether to participate and at what price is purely a matter of 'guessing,' and cannot be calculated like traditional value investing.  

Howard mentioned his favorite saying: 'Cautious individuals struggle to achieve great things.' He pointed out a current investment dilemma: investing in tech giants may lead to significant mistakes, but it can also yield remarkable successes. Those who hesitate out of fear of risk may miss out on the greatest investment opportunity in human history. In contrast, investors in traditional industries such as transportation, retail distribution, and real estate are unlikely to make catastrophic investment errors, but they also cannot seize the monumental benefits of this transformative era.  

In terms of valuation, Howard provided a key reference: the current price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 is about 23 times, which is approximately 50% higher than the 80-year average of 16 times, but far lower than the 32 times during the 2000 internet bubble and below the 60 to 90 times level of the 'Nifty Fifty' era, indicating that overall it is 'high but not out of control.'  

Regarding AI investments, he proposed a three-tiered investment strategy: investing in large-scale tech companies is a low-risk approach due to their established business and cash flow; investing in vertical AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI carries higher risks but also a higher probability of survival; while investing in early-stage startups is akin to gambling, where most will lose everything, but a few will become extremely wealthy. He advised investors to choose where they want to invest on the risk spectrum, mix different positions along the spectrum, and then determine what proportion these companies should represent in their overall investment portfolio.

Cryptocurrency asset management company ReserveOne has announced the failure of its merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp. (MBAV). Sources indicate that the deal, valued at $1 billion, collapsed after at least two major investors requested to terminate the sale. The investors believe that since the merger was announced nearly a year ago, the prices of Bitcoin and other tokens have significantly declined. If ReserveOne were to go public now, its stock price would likely be below net asset value, and considering the transaction fees payable to bankers and sponsors, it would not be economically viable.

On the X platform, blockchain security researcher Specter stated that it has been over a month since THORChain suspended all transactions due to a security vulnerability incident, and normal operations have yet to resume. The protocol previously did not choose to pause transactions during other security incidents or suspicious fund flows, continuing operations even for simple ETH-BTC paths. However, after becoming an affected party this time, it completely halted cross-chain transactions, raising discussions within the community about its risk management consistency. Currently, THORChain's on-chain transactions remain completely stagnant, with almost no activity on the entire chain, and the timeline for recovery is still unclear, urging community users to "stay vigilant."
