Subida acentuada de Housecoin (HOUSE)

Congress has launched a formal investigation into prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. The probe demands explanations on how the platforms prevent insider trading, sparked by suspicious bets tied to classified U.S. military actions. Evidence includes a U.S. soldier's trades before the Venezuela incursion and accounts netting millions from well-timed wagers on U.S.-Iran strikes and a ceasefire announcement. Both companies, which recently updated their rules, face scrutiny over their rapid growth and Washington lobbying. This investigation poses a significant threat that could reshape the prediction market industry.

The UK House of Lords has urged the Bank of England (BoE) to revise its proposed stablecoin regulations, warning that overly strict rules could harm the country's competitiveness. While supporting core principles like 1:1 backing, a parliamentary committee criticized specific proposals. These include a requirement for issuers to hold 40% of reserves as non-interest-bearing bank deposits and suggested caps on individual and corporate holdings. The committee argued these measures create operational burdens, hinder the growth of pound-based stablecoins, and could cause the UK to fall behind other jurisdictions with clearer regimes. The report follows industry pressure, and the BoE has indicated openness to easing its "overly conservative" plans, with final rules expected soon.

The US House Ways and Means Committee has released seven crypto tax discussion drafts, marking a major legislative effort to clarify how digital assets are taxed. This initiative, backed by committee leadership, aims to establish clearer rules on the timing and treatment of taxes for activities like crypto mining, staking rewards, and stablecoin transactions, including potential capital gains exemptions. The package also seeks to extend wash sale restrictions to digital assets. Lawmakers are working with the Treasury, Commerce Department, and White House on the measures, while Senate tax writers are also developing their own legislation, signaling a move toward a more unified approach to crypto taxation.

On June 15, 2026, Li Auto unveiled details of its self-developed chip, Mahe M100, for its new L9 Livis model. CTO Xie Yan stated the goal was not just a faster chip, but a fundamentally different one, targeting the chip architecture itself. While competitors like NIO, Xpeng, and Huawei highlight TOPS (computing power) figures for their self-developed chips, Li Auto’s Mahe M100 focuses on redesigning the underlying architecture. It employs a "dynamic data flow architecture" to address memory bandwidth bottlenecks in large model inference, claiming up to 3x the effective computing power of Nvidia's Thor U for its specific workloads and a 40% reduction in latency. The chip's design was peer-reviewed and accepted at ISCA 2026. However, this performance is highly optimized for Li Auto's own VLA2.1 algorithm, meaning it may not generalize as well to other tasks. Li Auto aims to achieve full-stack in-house development with Mahe M100, covering chip, compiler, OS, AI algorithms, and domain controller—a level of vertical integration few competitors match. Beyond the chip, CEO Li Xiang introduced a new strategic narrative: the "embodied intelligent vehicle," defined as an integration of an EV, a professional driver, an AI computer, and a life assistant. This shifts competition from features like large screens to systemic AI capabilities. A key commitment was that Li Auto's Mahe VLA autonomous driving model will match Tesla's FSD V14 by Q4 2026, with specific OTA milestones set for July, September, and December. Financially, Li Auto faces pressure with declining revenue and vehicle gross margins since Q4 2025, while maintaining high R&D investment (approx. ¥12B in 2026, 50% AI-related). Its 2026 sales target is 550,000 vehicles, up from 406,000 in 2025. The new L9 Livis garnered over 10,000 pre-orders in two weeks. The effectiveness of these strategic moves—new products, OTAs, and the novel chip architecture—will begin to show in Q3 2026 financial results, with the year-end FSD V14 benchmark being the ultimate test.

Fable 5, a previously restricted AI model from Anthropic, appears poised for a comeback. Evidence from leaked code in the Claude Code v2.1.190 version suggests a shift in its business model from a separate purchase to a potentially limited weekly usage allowance within standard Claude subscriptions. Furthermore, the model has reportedly reappeared in Amazon Bedrock documentation. This potential revival coincides with significant internal changes at Anthropic. According to a report by The Wired, CEO Dario Amodei was reportedly sidelined from negotiations with the Trump administration over Fable 5's export restrictions. Government officials found him difficult to communicate with. Co-founder Tom Brown and policy head Sarah Heck took over discussions, leading to more productive technical talks aimed at addressing White House security concerns about the model being "jailbroken." External pressure is mounting as a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has demanded answers from the Commerce Department by a June 26 deadline regarding the criteria and timeline for potentially reinstating public access to Fable 5. The potential return of Fable 5 comes as competitors OpenAI and Google have reportedly delayed their own major model releases. If Anthropic successfully navigates the government's security review, Fable 5 could gain a significant "safety-certified" advantage in the enterprise market. The countdown to the June 26 deadline is now underway.
