根据全球领先的独立会计师事务所 BDO 最近发布的第二季度审计报告，Tether Holdings 宣布 2024 年上半年净利润达到 52 亿美元，创下历史新高。

同时，该公司第二季度的净营业利润为 13 亿美元，创下了迄今为止的最高季度利润。

利润的增长主要来自以美国国债为主的传统资产类投资，这使得 Tether 直接和间接持有的资产超过了 976 亿美元。

这一数字使 Tether 的国债持有量超过了德国、阿联酋和澳大利亚等国，在全球美债持有量排名中位列第 18 位。同时，该公司在购买 3 个月期美国国债方面排名第三，仅次于英国和开曼群岛。

截至 6 月 30 日，Tether 的综合权益达到 119 亿美元，比第一季度增加了 5.2 亿美元。

尽管 BTC 价格下跌造成了 6.53 亿美元的未实现亏损，但黄金投资带来的 1.65 亿美元未实现收益部分抵消了这一亏损。

Tether 在第二季度发行了超过 83 亿美元的 USDT，并在 6 月底保持了 53 亿美元的储备盈余，以确保其通证的稳定性。

该证明再次证实了 Tether 综合财务数字和储备报告（CFFRR）的准确性，强调支持 Tether 流通通证的储备价值超过负债 53.3 亿美元。

截至 6 月 30 日，Tether 通证的储备总额为 1184.4 亿美元，而负债为 1131.0 亿美元，其中 1124.0 亿美元与已发行的数字通证有关。

Tether 将利润再投资到各种项目中，包括可持续能源、BTC mining、数据、人工智能基础设施、P2P 电信技术、神经技术和教育等，彰显了其对创新和长期发展的承诺。

第二季度报告还强调了 Tether 的财务状况，综合资产超过了综合负债。

来自 BDO 的独立审计师报告确认，合并财务数据和储备报告公允列报，不存在重大误报。

South Korea Targets 40 Unregistered Crypto Operators in Regulatory Crackdown

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit has referred around 40 unregistered virtual asset service providers to the police as part of a regulatory crackdown. Under local law, all crypto exchanges must obtain ISMS certification and FIU registration before operating, yet only 28 entities are currently registered. The FIU identified methods used by offshore platforms to attract Korean users, including advertising on local messaging apps and using private money changers to convert stablecoins. Officials stressed that unregistered platforms are not protected by Korean law. This action aligns with South Korea's push for stricter global crypto compliance through FATF measures. FIU Director Lee Hyung-joo recently urged FATF members to remove transaction thresholds for the "Travel Rule," as South Korea plans to mandate identity checks for all crypto transactions starting in August, expanding from the current 1 million won (≈$730) minimum. Regulatory enforcement has intensified in 2026, with authorities pursuing criminal cases against market manipulation schemes and enhancing cooperation with financial institutions to curb cross-border illegal transactions.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.

Crypto Lobby Pushes Congress To Keep Staking And Mining Tax Bill Intact

Crypto advocacy groups are urging U.S. lawmakers to pass the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act (H.R. 9175) without changes. The bill seeks to clarify that rewards for proof-of-work miners and proof-of-stake validators are taxed only when the assets are sold, not immediately when received. This deferred tax treatment is crucial for operators' cash flow and profitability. The proposal faces opposition from banking interests, who argue it could give crypto yield products an unfair advantage over traditional savings. The outcome will impact network decentralization, as complex tax rules could push out smaller operators. The lobbying effort marks an expansion of crypto's policy focus beyond market structure into tax rules that underpin network economics. The bill's fate depends on whether Congress advances it as a standalone clarification or part of a broader digital-asset package.

Legacy Polygon Royalties Contract Exploit Drains $261K Through Reward Logic Flaw

A hacker exploited a legacy Polygon royalties contract, stealing approximately $261,200 in cryptocurrency. Security firm TenArmorAlert identified the attack on June 23. The exploit was made possible by a flaw in the contract's reward calculation logic within the Royal1155LD.beforeLdaTransfer() function. By executing several zero-value transactions, the attacker manipulated reward accounting and token ownership data, artificially inflating balances to enable excessive withdrawals. The attacker also utilized a flash loan to amplify the exploit's profit after repayment. This incident highlights ongoing security risks associated with older, inactive smart contracts that still hold funds, following similar recent exploits. Developers are urged to audit, update, or decommission such legacy deployments to prevent future attacks. The Polygon blockchain's core infrastructure was not compromised.

a16z: In the AI Era, Company Competition for Talent Starts with Job Title Naming

The article discusses how companies in the AI era are competing for talent through strategic "title arbitrage," or the renaming of key roles to reflect and attract new, high-value capabilities. It uses Palantir's creation of the "Forward-Deployed Engineer" (FDE) as a prime example. This title reframed client-facing technical work from a peripheral "implementation" role into a core, high-status engineering function. The move was strategic, allowing Palantir to attract talent that blended technical skill with business acumen and to dominate the market's perception of this capability. The piece argues that job titles are an organizational language that signals the value and authority of certain work. Effective new titles, like "Data Scientist" or "Site Reliability Engineer," emerge when a role's strategic importance genuinely outgrows its old name. Conversely, mere title inflation without substantive change is ineffective. For AI companies, particularly in B2B, this is a crucial strategy. AI transformation creates new high-leverage roles (e.g., "Legal Engineer," "GTM Engineer") that combine domain expertise with technical automation. By naming these roles, a company can help clients internally legitimize these change-makers. This, in turn, builds market mindshare, associating the company with the new capability. In conclusion, as AI blurs the lines between product and service, the ability to accurately name and organize the critical, client-adjacent work that defines product learning will be a key competitive advantage. The first to define this new organizational language plants a flag in the market's mind.
