Согласно анализу блокчейна, криптокошелек, связанный с закрытой торговой площадкой даркнета Alphabay, как сообщается, стоял за пожертвованием биткоинов на сумму 31 миллион долларов создателю Silk Road Россу Ульбрихту.

Аналитическая компания блокчейнов Chainalysis сообщила WIRED в отчете от 5 июня, что связала 300 BTC, пожертвованных Ульбриху в начале этого месяца, с Alphabay, преемником Silk Road, который работал с 2014 по 2017 год.

Chainalysis предположил, что средства поступили от крупного поставщика на платформе, который мог иметь доступ к таким значительным суммам.

«У нас есть веские основания подозревать, что эти средства поступили от AlphaBay, — сказал директор по расследованиям Chainalysis Фил Ларратт. — Судя по сумме, можно предположить, что они поступили от кого-то, кто, возможно, был продавцом на AlphaBay в ранние годы».

Независимый блокчейн-детектив ZachXBT подтвердил, что 300 биткоинов не поступили с Silk Road, и отметил подозрительные закономерности в том, как жертвователь переводил средства.

Они использовали несколько сервисов смешивания, чтобы скрыть след транзакции, и обналичивали другие криптовалюты небольшими суммами, чтобы избежать обнаружения, что, по его мнению, указывает на криминальное происхождение.

ZachXBT сказал на X, что пожертвование, по-видимому, поступило с «непрозрачного централизованного сервиса смешивания» под названием Jambler, тогда как обычные энтузиасты конфиденциальности используют децентрализованные миксеры, такие как Wasabi и ныне закрытый Samourai.

«Анализ показал, что деньги были законным пожертвованием, но не законными средствами», — сказал ZachXBT.

«Использование нескольких миксеров, распределение депозитов CEX централизованной биржи и т.д. — это обычно делается, если вы пытаетесь избежать заморозки незаконных средств», — сказал он.

Блокировка ссылок BTC на Alphabay

Chainalysis сыграл важную роль в идентификации биткоин-адресов, связанных с AlphaBay, которые сыграли ключевую роль в блокировке рынка даркнета в ходе расследования, известного как «Операция «Штык»», которое охватывало 2016 и 2017 годы.

Любые BTC, удерживаемые с тех пор, могли бы резко вырасти в цене, возможно, более чем в 40 раз, но личность жертвователя и его мотивация остаются неизвестными.

В январе президент США Дональд Трамп полностью помиловал Росса Ульбрихта, который провел в тюрьме 12 лет, отбывая двойной пожизненный срок плюс 40 лет за управление дакнет-рынком Silk Road.

Tokens as Assets: Which Type of Tokenized Stock Is Right for You?

**Tokenized Stocks: Three Models, Which Suits You?** For investors outside the US, accessing stocks like SpaceX or NVIDIA is often difficult, requiring compliant brokers and cross-border transfers. Blockchain offers an alternative through tokenized stocks, but this term encompasses three distinct models with vastly different ownership, voting rights, and economic benefits. The first model offers full, direct ownership. Platforms like Superstate register shares directly on-chain (e.g., Solana), with holders listed on the official shareholder registry, granting full voting rights, dividends, and legal status. The second model sacrifices direct ownership for DeFi composability. Issuers like Backed and Ondo use offshore Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to issue tokens 1:1 backed by real shares. Holders gain price exposure and automated dividend accruals (via token balance increases), and tokens can be used as collateral in DeFi protocols. However, this introduces SPV counterparty risk, as seen in the PreStocks collapse. The third model abandons ownership entirely for pure price speculation. Perpetual futures platforms like TradeXYZ (on Hyperliquid) and Ostium create synthetic markets using price oracles and funding rates to track stock prices. They require no underlying shares, enabling rapid listing (e.g., SpaceX pre-IPO) and high leverage, which explains their trading volumes being 4-5x higher than tokenized spot markets. The core insight is that tokens derive value without needing to replicate full stock ownership. Most retail investors rarely exercise voting rights. These three models cater to different needs: direct ownership for institutions, DeFi-composable tokens for on-chain users, and perpetuals for leveraged, speculative traders. Tokenization is not a mere stock substitute but a new class of layered financial instruments.

Trading Moments: Bitcoin's 200-week moving average has turned into a resistance level, can the July rise still be realized?

**Market Recap: Key Global Developments and Outlook** Global markets are navigating shifting dynamics. Geopolitical tensions eased as the US and Iran agreed to halt further military actions, planning talks for June 30. This pushed oil prices down, with WTI crude dropping below $70. Meanwhile, gold saw a "death cross" (50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day), pressured by a strong dollar and rising real yields. A methodological revision to the US PCE inflation index, set for September, is expected to artificially lower reported core inflation, drawing criticism for lack of transparency. In US equities, major indices extended losses, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recording their longest losing streaks since last year. Hedge funds aggressively sold tech stocks, particularly in semiconductors, leading to a sharp rotation into defensive sectors like healthcare and utilities. SpaceX is set for rapid inclusion in the Nasdaq 100, potentially triggering significant passive fund inflows, while its valuation faces scrutiny. Bitcoin is on track for its worst monthly performance since 2022, down over 18% in June. It has failed to reclaim its 200-week moving average (now acting as resistance near $62.6k), raising the risk of a drop toward $55k. Historically, July is a strong month for BTC, with an average gain of 7.6%. Analysts suggest the current sell-off could present a buying opportunity, with a key test being whether Bitcoin can stabilize above $61k to confirm a reversal. In Asia, South Korean stocks initially fell on semiconductor selling but recovered after the government announced a massive investment plan for chips and AI. Japanese retail sales showed strength, supporting consumer recovery. Chinese markets saw a rebalancing, with healthcare stocks surging on policy catalysts and consumption shares rebounding. Hong Kong tech stocks also rallied. **Key upcoming events:** * June 30: US-Iran technical talks; MiCA transition deadline in Spain; NetEase's dual-primary listing in Hong Kong. * July 1: ECB's Sintra Forum featuring key central bankers. * July 6-7: SpaceX's inclusion in Nasdaq 100 triggering passive fund flows. * September 30: New US PCE methodology takes effect.

Lao Huang: Prompt is Dead, the Entire AI Community is Frenziedly Chasing Loops

The article "Prompt is Dead: The AI Industry is Obsessively Chasing Loops" discusses a major shift in AI development, where "Loop Engineering" is replacing traditional prompt engineering. Industry leaders like NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Andrew Ng, and engineers from Anthropic and OpenAI argue that manually crafting prompts is becoming obsolete. Instead, the new focus is on designing autonomous, self-improving AI systems (loops) that can operate 24/7. A loop system typically involves five key phases: Discovery (finding tasks), Handoff (assigning to agents), Validation (critical independent review), Persistence (saving progress), and Scheduling (automated operation). The core idea is to move humans from being the operational "engine" to being the system "architects" who design the loop, define goals, and set up verification mechanisms. A major challenge and necessity is implementing robust, independent validation to prevent AI from uncritically approving its own work. The trend is seen as part of a move towards "inference-time compute," where allocating computational budget effectively becomes a key engineering skill. While loops can produce higher-quality outputs, they are more expensive and time-consuming than simple prompting. The article warns of risks like "verification debt," "comprehension corrosion," and "cognitive surrender," where engineers might stop understanding the code their systems generate. Ultimately, the article concludes that in an era of automated loops, human judgment and oversight remain the most critical and scarce resources.
