According to Fox News, U.S. President Donald Trump earlier said that all governors and local government officials should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Trump stated: "This will create a large number of construction jobs. We are building the largest factories in the world. I can say that if I were a city mayor or a state governor and had the chance to bring a large AI factory or data center to my area, I would definitely want it to come, because it can generate a lot of jobs, and the capital and tax revenue it brings are very substantial." Trump also noted that given most Americans oppose building data centers in their own communities, the AI industry needs "a little public relations help."

Apple is laying off employees across multiple teams working on its Siri digital assistant and Vision Pro headset, as part of the company’s effort to refocus resources on new devices and artificial intelligence (AI). According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple is also cutting roles in the "Intelligent System Experience" team under its software engineering division, which handles some AI features on the company’s devices. Insiders noted that during this restructuring, Apple has effectively shut down a dedicated team for Vision Pro gaming operations, while scaling back the size of the unit that creates immersive video content for the device. The total layoffs affect more than 200 people: roughly 100 positions were eliminated in the Vision Pro division, and another 100 cuts came from the Siri and software teams. Apple confirmed in a statement that it is adjusting some teams "to drive business growth and deliver the best experience for users".

According to HTX market data, ZEC has surged over 29% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $735.47, approaching its previous all-time high of $750, with market capitalization rising to $12.46 billion. Earlier on June 5, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, together with Jason McGee and Taylor Hornby, published a detailed article disclosing a critical soundness vulnerability in the project’s latest privacy layer Orchard pool, which could be exploited to create an unlimited number of fake ZEC in an untraceable environment. The Zcash ecosystem had already completed an emergency network upgrade to fix the flaw, but after the full impact was disclosed, ZEC’s price experienced sharp volatility, with a temporary flash crash hitting $250.12. On August 20, Grayscale filed the fourth amended document for converting its Zcash Trust into an ETF, proposing to rename the fund and list it on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ZCSH". The document shows that DCG International Investments Ltd., a subsidiary of parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG), is in discussions to inject approximately 200,000 ZEC into the fund.

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio said that as U.S. debt pressures continue to rise, investors should reduce bond allocations and hedge risks with non-government-issued assets like gold and Bitcoin. Dalio recently noted that portfolios can allocate around 10%-15% to gold and hold "a portion" of Bitcoin to mitigate debt crisis risks and boost long-term returns. He believes that as the global debt cycle enters a critical phase, non-sovereign currency assets like Bitcoin may benefit. Dalio pointed out that the U.S. government is projected to collect about $5.5 trillion in revenue this year, with $7.5 trillion in spending, leaving a fiscal gap of roughly $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. interest payments are expected to nearly hit $1 trillion, and about $10 trillion in debt faces refinancing pressure. He warned that if fiscal policies are not adjusted, a U.S. debt crisis could emerge "in roughly the next three years (plus or minus two years)." As debt servicing pressures mount, the government may be forced to accept higher interest rates or rely on central bank balance sheet expansion to buy debt, which would erode currency values and drive up inflation. Recently, U.S. long-term Treasury yields have risen to multi-year highs, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an expansion of the long-term U.S. Treasury buyback program, but markets view this measure as only providing short-term support, not solving structural fiscal issues. Driven by a weaker dollar, improved liquidity expectations, and safe-haven demand, Bitcoin recently broke through $77,000, posting one of its strongest weekly gains since 2023. Dalio stated: "Non-government-issued monetary assets, such as gold and Bitcoin, are expected to perform well." These remarks have further strengthened market attention on Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative, with investors viewing it as a key asset to hedge against currency devaluation and long-term fiscal risks.
