GetBlock Magazine - Что произошло? Национальное управление Франции по азартным играм (ANJ) намерено закрыть доступ к крупнейшему децентрализованному криптовалютному рынку прогнозов Polymarket, сообщает издание The Big Whale. Polymarket привлек к себе повышенное внимание в преддверии выборов в США: объем торгов, связанных с исходом данного события, на этой площадке приблизился к 4 млрд долларов.

Что еще известно? Близкий к ANJ источник отмечает, что платформы для ставок (беттинга) во Франции незаконны, и Polymarket не является исключением, несмотря на то, что она работает на блокчейне и использует криптовалюты в своей деятельности.

После победы Дональда Трампа на выборах в президенты США аналитики Lookonchain сообщили о трех крупных аккаунтах на Polymarket — Theo4, Fredi9999 и zxgngl, — которые благодаря ставкам в его пользу заработали 20,4, 15,6 и 11 млн долларов соответственно.

Примечательно, что ранее команда Polymarket по итогам внутреннего расследования выяснила, что аккаунты Theo4 и Fredi9999 принадлежат одному опытному трейдеру из Франции. Поводом для его проведения стали слухи о манипулировании на платформе, также команда стремилась отсеять пользователей из США.

По данным The Big Whale, именно деятельность этого трейдера привлекла внимание регулятора.

На прошлой неделе Theo дал интервью WSJ, однако журналисты не раскрыли его личность. Тогда он отметил, что делал ставки за счет собственных средств и не стремился искусственно создать импульс в пользу Трампа.

Polymarket запущен в 2020 году в сети второго уровня (L2) Polygon на базе блокчейна Ethereum при поддержке Founders Fund Питера Тиля. За время работы он привлек 74 млн долларов, одним из инвесторов выступил сооснователь Ethereum Виталик Бутерин.

В 2022 году под давлением Комиссии США по торговле товарными фьючерсами (CFTC) платформа перестала обслуживать американских пользователей, но сохранила штаб-квартиру в Нью-Йорке. При этом другие рынки прогнозов, включая Kalshi и Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD), запустились в США после легализации ставок на выборы соответствующим судебным решением по делу против CFTC, оно было вынесено в сентябре 2024 года.

Polymarket позволяет пользователям покупать «акции» в исходе политических и спортивных событий или прогнозировать будущие цены на финансовые активы и получать по одному стейблкоину USDC за акцию, если прогноз сбудется.

Polymarket работает на блокчейне: пользователи делают ставки с помощью криптовалют без посредников. За предложение событий для ставок отвечает компания, однако в будущем этот аспект может быть децентрализован через запуск нативного токена.

Собеседник издания, партнер ORWL Avocats Уильям О'Рорк отмечает, что деятельность Polymarket подпадает под определение азартных игр и платформа может быть заблокирована во Франции несмотря на то, что она не нацелена конкретно на местных пользователей.

Он добавил, что ANJ может заблокировать доменное имя во Франции и даже оказать давление на СМИ, которые распространяли ссылки на Polymarket в своих материалах.

Тем не менее, обойти блокировку позволит VPN, поскольку Polymarket не требует от пользователей указывать свои идентификационные данные для создания учетной записи (только криптокошелек).

В самом ANJ подтвердили, что в настоящее время изучают работу сайта Polymarket на предмет соответствия законодательству об азартных играх.

Tsinghua University's Special Award Winner, Gu Yuxian, Joins DeepSeek

Tsinghua University's prestigious Graduate Special Scholarship recipient and 2021 Ph.D. candidate, Yuxian Gu, has officially joined DeepSeek. This news coincides with DeepSeek's major recruitment drive and the imminent launch of DeepSeek V4, on whose research paper Gu is listed as an author. A doctoral student in the Conversational AI group under Professor Minlie Huang at Tsinghua, Gu's research focuses on enhancing efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle of large language models. His key contributions span three areas: innovative methods for pre-training data selection (e.g., PDS), advanced knowledge distillation techniques for model compression (notably MiniLLM), and the development of efficient model architectures like Jet-Nemotron. His work has gained significant recognition, with nearly 5,000 citations on Google Scholar. Key publications include the highly cited surveys and papers on pre-trained models and the MiniLLM distillation method. As first author, he has presented at top-tier AI conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, and ACL. One of his notable achievements is the Jet-Nemotron architecture, which combines Post-Neural Architecture Search (PostNAS) and a novel linear attention module called JetBlock. This model series demonstrates state-of-the-art performance rivaling larger models while achieving substantial efficiency gains in inference. Gu's expertise in creating powerful yet efficient AI systems aligns with industry needs, as evidenced by the adoption of his MiniLLM method by leading tech companies. His move to DeepSeek is anticipated to contribute further advancements in the field.

Is altcoin season here? Why Bitcoin’s $21B OI says not yet

While Glassnode's Altcoin Cycle Signal suggests altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin overall, indicating the start of an altcoin season, analysis of Open Interest (OI) presents a counterpoint. Bitcoin's OI stands at $21.11 billion, significantly higher than the $16.36 billion for altcoins. This signals that trader focus and capital inflows remain concentrated on Bitcoin, implying the broader altcoin market may still have room for expansion. Historically, altcoin rallies have often peaked when their OI surpasses Bitcoin's. Analysts note Bitcoin is holding support around $58,000, with selling pressure potentially fading. Some view the current Bitcoin price as an attractive long-term entry point, contingent on factors like Federal Reserve policy. However, as long as Bitcoin continues to dominate capital flows and the altcoin index remains below a key threshold, the market is seen as being in a Bitcoin-led phase rather than a full-blown altcoin season. The consensus is that a broad rotation into altcoins has not yet fully materialized.

After Close Observation of Wash, Morgan Stanley's Chief Economist Insists: The Fed Will Not Raise Rates This Year

After close observation of Federal Reserve Chair Wash, Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Economist, asserts that the Fed will not raise interest rates this year. Following Wash's speech at the ECB's Sintra forum, Carpenter notes a marginal dovish shift: Wash now more clearly balances the Fed's dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, rather than focusing nearly exclusively on inflation. Importantly, Wash highlighted that the latest policy meeting (coinciding with falling oil prices) has already lowered market inflation expectations and term premiums, signaling no urgency for a July rate hike. Carpenter's view is supported by data. Recent non-farm payroll figures provide room for the Fed to remain patient. Morgan Stanley's inflation forecasts are below the median FOMC projection, and methodological revisions to PCE inflation could further lower readings. These factors make Carpenter "comfortable" with the call for no hikes in 2024. Carpenter also pushes back against the simplistic narrative that AI will be deflationary and lead to rate cuts. He argues AI investment is currently boosting inflation marginally. More broadly, the business cycle will dictate policy; AI's productivity gains could boost demand and, crucially, raise the equilibrium interest rate (r*), weakening the case for cuts. In contrast, the ECB's path remains more hawkish. Carpenter interprets President Lagarde's Sintra comments as leaving the door open for another 25 basis point hike in September, though softer recent data and falling oil prices provide some flexibility. A July hike or more than one additional hike this year is seen as unlikely.

StarDynamics Secures 2.5 Billion in Two Months, State-Owned Capital Consortium Joins In

Star Era Raises 25 Billion Yuan in Two Months with State Capital Leading the Charge. Chinese humanoid robotics leader Star Era has secured a new 10-billion-yuan funding round led by state-owned capital, including funds like Chengtong Fund under the SASAC, marking 25 billion yuan raised within two months. The company, a spin-off from Tsinghua University, has built a comprehensive capital matrix combining state guidance, top-tier financial backers, and industrial partners. Founded in 2023 by Dr. Chen Jianyu, one of Tsinghua's youngest doctoral supervisors, Star Era stands out for its early and pioneering work on "world models" for embodied AI, notably releasing its PAD world action model ahead of major global players. The company follows an AI-native, full-stack R&D strategy from data and AI brain to control, dexterous hands (XHAND series), and robot bodies (bipedal L7, wheeled Q5). A core innovation is its fully direct-drive dexterous hands, which act as high-fidelity data collectors for training its AI models like the ERA-42 and VLAW, creating a virtuous cycle of data and intelligence. Star Era claims to possess one of the world's largest real-world dexterous hand datasets. Commercially, Star Era has achieved product-market fit, most notably in logistics, with robots operating 24/7 in distribution centers for partners like SF Express and China Post, handling over 1,200 parcels per hour. It is also expanding into high-end manufacturing (Samsung, Geely) and commercial services. Its hardware components are used by nine of the global top ten tech firms and leading research institutions. The article positions 2026 as an inflection point where success shifts from model capabilities to proven, scalable commercial deployment. Star Era's rapid funding and industrial traction highlight its position in this competitive race.

U.S. Stock Market Trend (July 6th): Gold and Crypto Lead Rebound Ahead of Stocks, Fed Minutes Set Weekly Direction

**U.S. Market Trends (July 6): Gold & Crypto Lead, Fed Minutes to Set Tone** Markets rebounded ahead of the U.S. Independence Day holiday, with Nasdaq 100 futures rising over 1% as AI sector concerns eased. Gold posted its best week in over a month, breaking a four-week losing streak despite ongoing Russia-Ukraine tensions, as Middle East risk premiums faded. Brent crude extended its decline for a fourth week. The week ahead is packed with key events. On Tuesday, SpaceX makes a record-fast entry into the Nasdaq 100 index, forcing passive fund flows, while U.S. tariff hearings and the Sun Valley Conference—notably missing NVIDIA's Jensen Huang and Tesla's Elon Musk—add complexity. OpenAI's scheduled GPT-5.6 release intensifies the AI model rollout race. The main focus is Thursday's release of the first Fed meeting minutes under Chair Wash. With half the FOMC already leaning toward a rate hike this year per the June dot plot, the minutes' tone will be critical for market direction. Hawkish confirmation could reverse recent risk-on sentiment, likely signaled first by a pullback in high-volatility assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which significantly outperformed last week. Other events include SK Hynix's large U.S. ADR listing and the start of the Q2 earnings season with reports from PepsiCo and Delta Air Lines. The market's path hinges on whether the liquidity and optimism built during the holiday can withstand the combined tests of Fed policy, trade tensions, and major corporate events.
