SpaceX executives have held meetings with several investment banks in recent weeks as the company prepares for a potential IPO launch as early as this year. Currently, SpaceX is conducting a secondary share sale that values the company at approximately $800 billion. The sources also mentioned that other investment banks are likely to secure underwriting roles in the listing but emphasized that the arrangements are not yet final and could change.

【Farcaster Founder Clarifies: Protocol Operating Normally, Home Purchase Funds Came from Coinbase IPO Proceeds】

BitPush News: Farcaster founder Dan Romero stated, in response to market rumors, the following clarifications:

1. Farcaster is not planning to shut down. The protocol is currently operating normally and will continue to run stably. In December last year, its monthly active users reached 250,000, with over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup planning to shift Farcaster towards a more developer-focused direction.

2. Regarding the Merkle project, we plan to return the full $180 million in raised funds to investors. Over the past five years, we have always strived to manage investor funds prudently.

3. Finally, it must be clarified that the funds for my home purchase came from the proceeds of Coinbase's Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The Higher Bitcoin Goes, The Less Institutions Want It? Coinbase Executive Weighs In

Coinbase Head of Institutional Strategy John D'Agostino states that institutions which previously bought Bitcoin at higher prices are showing increased interest as its price drops to around $60,000. He notes no signs of panic selling or major liquidation risks among large investors; instead, many, including family offices and sovereign wealth funds, see the correction as a buying opportunity. D'Agostino emphasizes that institutional interest often grows when prices fall, reflecting a long-term holding strategy. Despite recent market volatility and geopolitical tensions, exposure via spot Bitcoin ETFs remains high, exceeding $750 billion. He attributes price swings to normal commodity-like behavior and believes current market infrastructure is stronger than in past downturns. Bitcoin was trading near $63,800 at the time of reporting.

Bitmine Continues Aggressive Ethereum Accumulation as Others Scale Back

Bitmine, an Ethereum treasury, accumulated 126,971 ETH last week, reinforcing its aggressive accumulation strategy amid a broader market downturn. Its holdings now total $9.6 billion in assets, including 5.54 million ETH—representing 4.59% of the total supply—203 Bitcoin, stakes in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings, and cash. The company has staked approximately 4.72 million ETH, generating significant yields and potential annual income of around $230 million. Chairman Thomas 'Tom' Lee views the market decline as the beginning of a "crypto spring," driven by anticipated rising demand for decentralized networks like Ethereum from advancing AI systems. Unlike many other treasury firms that have halted or reversed accumulation, Bitmine continues to acquire. It recently announced plans to raise capital via a public stock offering, with proceeds potentially used for further ETH purchases, ecosystem investments, and infrastructure expansion. Bitmine now holds the world's second-largest corporate crypto treasury and the largest dedicated Ethereum treasury.

Apple's Desired On-Device AI Sees a Dark Horse Emerge: The First Cognitive Model is Born, 4B Matches GPT-5.4

A Chinese company, Tomorrow's Journey (Nextie), has introduced what it is calling the industry's first "cognitive model" for edge devices. Named New Journey Alpha, this 4-billion-parameter model reportedly matches the performance of trillion-parameter giants like GPT-5.4 in group intelligence tasks such as debate and collective decision-making. The development follows Andrej Karpathy's vision of stripping vast factual knowledge from large language models to retain only a smaller "cognitive core" capable of reasoning, planning, and knowing its own limits. This approach directly addresses the soaring computational costs and token expenses hindering AI's widespread deployment, as highlighted by incidents like Amazon shutting down an internal AI tool due to prohibitive costs. Trained via reinforcement learning on a corpus of academic papers from 1800-2020 to enhance generalization, the model enables three key advancements: 1) Improved decision quality in multi-agent systems, 2) Drastically reduced compute costs, allowing for cost-effective cloud or on-device (e.g., MacBook) deployment, and 3) The feasibility of "proactive" AI agents that act autonomously without user prompts, unlocking new commercial possibilities beyond today's reactive models. Built by the former Microsoft Xiaoice team—known for creating a 3.6B model that outperformed a 65B Llama model—the company is now focusing on the multi-agent systems sector, a field gaining significant investor interest. The model's economic impact is profound; by achieving high-level performance with minimal parameters, it fundamentally alters the cost structure of AI services, challenging the prevailing model of ever-larger parameter counts.

Hoskinson Claims Cardano Can Surpass Bitcoin By Solving Crypto’s Trust Problem

In a June 8 livestream, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented an ambitious long-term vision for the network, framing its mission as solving the global "trust problem" rather than merely competing for crypto market share. He argued that the cryptocurrency industry's core purpose is to reduce the massive annual costs associated with trusted third parties in finance and commerce through "verifiable reflexivity"—where transactions carry their own proof of correctness. Hoskinson outlined four key requirements for this goal: a decentralized engine (via Ouroboros), the right accounting model (extended UTXO), modular expansion (exemplified by partner chains like Midnight), and robust decentralized governance. He emphasized that Cardano's design aims to avoid dependency on intermediaries for reconciliation and scale for specialized applications through technologies like Hydra. While governance structures are still developing, Hoskinson claimed that if Cardano succeeds in building this trust infrastructure, ADA could become the "currency of global trust" and has the potential to eventually surpass Bitcoin. He stressed that for Cardano to reach its next level, it must prove it is a self-healing system capable of surviving even a loss of confidence in its founder.

OpenAI's 'Blueprint for the Future': Making AI Beneficial for Every Person on the Planet

A new transformative technology emerges every few generations. OpenAI draws a parallel with the advent of electricity in the 1920s, which initially brought convenience but ultimately enabled unprecedented progress in medicine, engineering, and living standards by empowering people to create new possibilities. AI is poised to recreate this phenomenon. Its true significance lies not in the technology itself, but in what people can achieve with it—from understanding a medical bill or starting a business to aiding scientific discovery. OpenAI believes AI should be universally accessible, allowing everyone to use it according to their own needs. This future, however, is not guaranteed. While transformative tech can centralize power, OpenAI's philosophy is that AI must serve humanity, augmenting human capabilities and broadly distributing its benefits. The company's first commitment is to build AI for human service, aiming to empower the many rather than concentrate power in a few. Safety, alignment with human intent, and oversight are paramount. OpenAI is optimistic about AI's potential to expand human welfare but remains clear-eyed about risks. The goal is to help people achieve more, not to replace them. Full automation is not the desired future; human judgment, values, and direction will become even more critical. OpenAI outlines three core goals: 1. Build automated AI researchers to accelerate and increasingly automate the research process itself, maintaining close human collaboration. The internal projection is that by March 2028, a significant portion of their research will be conducted by AI systems working alongside human researchers. 2. Accelerate economic development by advancing science, boosting productivity, and fostering growth, while ensuring the fruits are widely shared. 3. Provide a personal AGI for everyone on Earth, allowing individuals to benefit from this transformative technology in their own way. The company is entering its third phase, moving from foundational AGI research (Phase 1) to product deployment and learning from real-world use (Phase 2). The current challenge is making advanced AI abundant, affordable, safe, practical, and usable for all individuals and organizations. OpenAI concludes that a widely distributed power structure leads to a more resilient, adaptable, and free society. A positive AI future should not be controlled by a handful of entities but built, benefited from, and owned by many. If realized correctly, AI can become a cornerstone for enhancing global productivity, creativity, scientific advancement, and economic opportunity, fulfilling the mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity.
