Solana Co-Founder: Cardano's Proposal to Use Treasury Funds to Purchase Bitcoin is "Extremely Stupid"
On June 16th, Anatoly Yakovenko, a co-founder of Solana Labs, opposed the latest proposal put forward by the Cardano leadership to convert a portion of their treasury funds into Bitcoin. He stated that this idea is flawed, indicating poor treasury management and sending a wrong message to the Cardano community. He remarked: "Projects should hold 18-36 months' worth of operating funds in short-term U.S. Treasuries, and that's the extent."

These officials said that Tehran has conveyed to Arab diplomats that they are willing to return to the negotiation table as long as the United States does not engage in airstrikes.
They also passed on messages to Israel, claiming that maintaining control over violence is in the interests of both sides. However, since Israeli warplanes have been freely flying over Iran's capital and Iran's retaliatory actions have caused minimal damage, Israeli leaders have little motivation to stop their attacks before taking further actions to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and weaken the control of Iran's "theocratic government" over power.

WLFI Advisor: Stablecoin USD1 Integrated on Bitcoin Lightning Network
On June 16th, an advisor for the Trump family's crypto project WLFI stated that WLFI has officially integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network initiated by Nubit. Currently, USD1 is the only stablecoin operating on the Bitcoin network (previously, Tether had suspended the Omni version of USDT). This collaboration has established a fast and efficient channel for the utilization of stablecoins on the Bitcoin mainnet.
Users can now directly transfer and receive USD1 on the Bitcoin mainnet and use it to purchase nodes on the Thunderbolt Network. The in-depth collaboration between WLFI and Nubit is expected to significantly expand Bitcoin's application scenarios in stablecoins and payment networks. The USD1 deployed on the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network is projected to account for more than 90% of its circulation volume.
