Lighter AMA: 50% of Total Token Supply to be Allocated to Community, Token Buyback Mechanism Planned

Lighter team's Head of Marketing @Pilla_eth shared some TGE details in an AMA themed "Lighter TGE" today,主要包括:

1. TGE and airdrop will take place in 2025, with the airdrop amount being 25% of the total supply, with no lock-up restrictions. The airdrop does not require claiming and will be directly deposited into the Lightner wallets of points holders.

2. 50% of the token supply will be provided to the community. More tokenomics details will be gradually released. There will be token buybacks, but the specific amount is undecided. "Therefore, value will flow to the token."

3. LIT tokens will initially only be tradable on the Lighter platform. Coinbase and Bybit have added LIT to their roadmaps. They will not pay for exchange listings.

4. There will be no official Lighter NFT, but some community NFTs, like Fuego, are acknowledged. Meme coin airdrops are just rumors.

Additionally, @Pilla_eth revealed that Lighter is developing "a mobile app that can rival CEX apps."

Flow: User Existing Balances Not Accessed in This Hack, All User Deposits Safe

Flow official posted on X platform stating that on December 27, 2025, attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Flow execution layer to transfer approximately $3.9 million in assets before the network went down. This attack did not access users' existing balances; all user deposits are safe.

Currently, approximately $3.9 million in funds have been primarily bridged out via bridges like Celer, Debridge, Relay, Stargate, etc. The attacker's wallet has been identified and flagged, and their money laundering activities through Thorchain and Chainflip are being tracked in real-time.

The Flow Foundation has submitted freeze requests to Circle, Tether, and major exchanges. The network is currently stopped to cut off all exit paths. A fix is undergoing final validation. The confirmed amount of funds outflow is manageable and does not threaten the network's solvency or user fund safety.

The target restart time is within 4 to 6 hours, depending on testnet validation results. FindLabs is releasing forensic data including transaction hashes and the attacker's Ethereum wallet address.

However, some users did not fully understand this ongoing requirement. Huma Finance has temporarily restored Vanguard badges and set a grace period until January 5, 2026, 00:00 (UTC).

Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison to Be Released Next Month, About 10 Months Early

According to Theblock, U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons records show that former Alameda Research co-CEO Caroline Ellison will be released from federal supervision on January 21, 2026.

The 31-year-old Ellison has been transferred from a federal prison in Connecticut to a community confinement facility since October 2025. She pleaded guilty in December 2022 to fraud and conspiracy charges related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which caused customers to lose billions of dollars.

Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion in September 2024, but due to good behavior and cooperation in the FTX investigation, she will be released about 10 months earlier than her original sentence. Earlier this month, she also agreed to a 10-year ban from serving as an executive at public companies or cryptocurrency exchanges.

Meanwhile, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is currently actively seeking a pardon from the U.S. President and is expected to be released in September 2044.

The Supreme People's Court's official account published an article from its affiliated academic journal "Digital Rule of Law" titled "Commercial Law Reform for Digital Transactions, Electronic Money, and Virtual Property".

China's civil and commercial norms should also be practice-oriented and improved in response to the development of digital transactions, electronic money, and virtual property, thereby incentivizing economic and technological development and gaining an advantage in international institutional competition.

The Shutdown of Claude Mythos Revealed the True Cost of Renting AI to Me

The sudden shutdown of Claude Mythos this week starkly highlights a critical, often overlooked risk for founders: when your core capability relies entirely on someone else's platform, your fate is not in your own hands. The key question becomes: who truly owns the intelligence your product depends on? For years, the debate around open-source models focused on cost. Now, the evidence is clear: fine-tuned open-source models can achieve frontier-level quality for specific, mission-critical tasks at a fraction of the cost. However, the deeper issue is control. Relying on a third-party API is like renting; it works until the landlord changes the rules, raises the rent, or asks you to leave—as Mythos experienced. The lesson is not to stop using frontier models—they are incredible infrastructure. The goal is ownership. Ownership means starting with a powerful open-source model and shaping it around what makes your company unique: your data, workflows, domain expertise, and definition of "good." Over time, the model becomes less generic and more reflective of your business, creating durable value. The optimistic conclusion is that AI's future doesn't hinge on one superior model. There is no single frontier. The frontier includes proprietary models, models fine-tuned on company-specific knowledge, specialized models for narrow problems, and intelligent routers orchestrating model ensembles. The most interesting development is not models getting smarter, but intelligence becoming increasingly customizable. The winning companies will be those that transform intelligence into a unique, owned asset. Looking ahead, the vision is not one model dominating all, but many teams owning the part of the frontier that matters most to them.

Tiger Research: U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve - Should the Market Be Happy or Disappointed?

Tiger Research analyzes the evolution of U.S. legislative efforts regarding a strategic Bitcoin reserve, concluding the market impact is limited in the short term but potentially positive long-term. The core event was a March 2025 executive order by former President Trump, which designated confiscated Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and promised not to sell existing holdings (approx. 190k BTC). As it contained no mandate to purchase new Bitcoin, the market reacted negatively, with prices dropping 5.7%. Legislative history shows a significant retreat from initial ambitions. The 2024 "BITCOIN Act" proposed mandatory purchases of 1 million BTC over five years. Reintroduced in 2025, it stalled due to high fiscal costs, concerns over dollar hegemony, and opposition from the Treasury Secretary. The current frontrunner, the 2026 "American Retirement and Monetary Advancement (ARMA) Act," is a compromise. It lacks any purchase requirement, instead focusing on consolidating existing government-held Bitcoin and legally prohibiting its sale for at least 20 years. While ARMA has higher passage odds due to bipartisan support and no purchase mandate, its immediate market effect is neutral. It eliminates potential government selling pressure but creates no new demand. The long-term significance is that formally establishing Bitcoin as a national reserve asset in law could later reignite debates on mandatory purchases. Therefore, the path to a government buyer is longer than initially priced by the market, but the directional narrative remains intact.

US Stock Market Trend (June 16): SpaceX Rises 42% in Two Days, New Fed Chairman Takes Office Today

**U.S. Stocks Trend (June 16): SpaceX Soars 42% in Two Days, New Fed Chair Takes Office Today** Markets surged on Monday following former President Trump's social media announcement of a completed U.S.-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pending a June 19 signing. The news triggered a broad risk-on rally: oil prices crashed, tech stocks soared, bond yields fell, and defensive sectors lagged. **Market Performance:** The Nasdaq jumped 3.07%, led by semiconductor stocks like Micron (+9.2%). The S&P 500 gained 1.65%, and the Dow rose 0.92% to a record high. However, the Russell 2000 small-cap index underperformed (+0.72%). SpaceX continued its hot streak, rising another 5% pre-market after disclosures of large buys by an Australian billionaire and Cathie Wood's ARK. Boeing also rallied on the transportation optimism. Conversely, energy stocks like Chevron fell over 3% on the oil price plunge, with other defensive sectors also selling off. The day's action showed a clear rotation of funds from energy/defensive plays into AI and tech narratives. **Macro & Outlook:** The VIX fear index fell 8.37%. Treasury yields declined, and WTI crude dropped over 5%. Attention now shifts to a packed schedule: the Bank of Japan is widely expected to hike rates to 1.0% on Tuesday. The Fed's June meeting concludes Wednesday, marking new Chair Wash's debut. While rates are expected to hold, his tone on stubborn inflation and the "dot plot" will be crucial for gauging the 2024 rate path. The formal Iran deal signing is set for Friday. **Trend Perspective:** While the peace deal is a genuine positive, Monday's explosive rally may have gotten ahead of itself, pricing in a swift resolution to inflation concerns. The shortened trading week faces a triple test: BoJ tightening, the Fed's policy stance, and deal implementation details. Tech and semiconductors, which led the surge, remain vulnerable to any disappointment from these key events. The real price discovery begins with the central banks' communications this week.

Xiaohongshu's Second Great Voyage, This Time Sailing Towards AI

Xiaohongshu's Second Voyage: Navigating Towards AI Since ChatGPT's emergence, Xiaohongshu's founder Mao Wenchao has been acutely aware of AI's potential threat, recognizing that the life advice people seek from chatbots overlaps directly with his platform's core business. Founded in 2013 as a PDF shopping guide for Chinese tourists, Xiaohongshu evolved into a massive community where millions share authentic, personal experiences—from product reviews to travel tips. This vast repository of "I've tried this" human judgment became its most valuable asset. However, the rise of AI, which delivers instant answers, challenges the very need for users to sift through numerous personal notes. Fearing its treasure trove of lived experience could become mere training data for others, Xiaohongshu is proactively adapting. In 2026, it established a dedicated AI division (Dots), launched RED Skill to turn user experiences into usable AI tools, and acquired the AI search product "Diandian." Its investments now extend to AI firms like MiniMax and hardware startups, moving upstream to address needs before they even become search queries. The platform's commercialization strategy is also evolving. With a newly acquired payment license and tools like the AIPS model to track consumer decision journeys, Xiaohongshu aims to seamlessly integrate recommendations with transactions, embedding commerce within AI-generated answers. Yet, a critical tension remains. While building smarter machines to organize and leverage its human experiences, Xiaohongshu must prevent AI from drowning out the authentic, flawed, and trustworthy "I've tried this" voices that built its community. Its core challenge is to harness AI's power without letting the map—the machine's perfect, synthesized answer—replace the territory of genuine human experience. This balance between technological advancement and preserving human trust defines its current journey and its future.
