CZ refutes claims that Bitcoin will go to zero, pointing out that many people have made incorrect judgments about cryptocurrencies.

Serenity wrote in an article that AI investments are far less complex than the market perceives, as Nvidia and Jensen Huang have consistently made their next strategic moves clear to the public—yet the market almost always ignores them until the rally actually materializes. Looking back to 2025, when Nvidia pre-positioned EML and laser production capacity, the market dismissed photonics as a "bubble, on par with quantum technology" at the time, labeling related companies as scams. A year later, LITE surged 678%, AAOI rose 475%, COHR gained 261%, and AXTI skyrocketed 3844%—only then did the market retroactively acknowledge this round of optical interconnect rally. Serenity further pointed out that in 2026, Nvidia is repeating the same playbook: locking in CW/EML production capacity via long-term agreements (LTA), pushing the 800V architecture, explicitly betting heavily on the CPO transition, and positioning physical AI as the next major theme. However, the current market still mocks CW players as meme stocks, claims 800V and CPO are still far off, and argues humanoid robots are unprofitable. Serenity clearly stated: "We will see results in 2027. I am choosing to bet my money on Jensen Huang and Nvidia as a leading indicator."

Israel’s largest licensed crypto exchange, Bits of Gold, has suffered a data breach, with personal data of around 200,000 customers—nearly the platform’s entire user base—stolen by hackers. Bits of Gold was Israel’s first crypto company to obtain a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license, receiving regulatory approval in September 2022. The specific types of leaked data have not been disclosed, but crypto brokers typically collect extensive identity information under KYC rules, including government-issued identification documents, address proofs, and financial details. The compromised data could be used for phishing, SIM swapping, and social engineering attacks. Additionally, Bits of Gold secured approval in April this year to issue the BILS stablecoin, which is pegged 1:1 to the Israeli shekel.

According to Axios, citing three people familiar with the discussions, U.S. negotiators encountered a major hurdle in mid-May while attempting to broker a war-ending deal with Iran: they could not verify whether the Iranian representatives at the table truly represented the influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In response, Trump administration officials took an unusual approach—bypassing Iranian negotiators to directly reach out to senior IRGC leaders. The U.S. tapped Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to oversee this secret backchannel. Barzani held a rare advantage: he was trusted by both U.S. and IRGC leadership. A key challenge complicating U.S.-Iran talks was Washington’s uncertainty over who actually holds decision-making authority in Iran. Though the two sides did eventually strike a memorandum of understanding, the deal quickly fell apart.

Binance founder CZ has commented on the World Gold Council (WGC) CEO’s assertion that Bitcoin’s value will fall to zero. CZ noted that many people have previously made incorrect judgments about cryptocurrencies, adding that understanding this field takes time, and he himself cannot be 100% certain he is right—after all, we are only human. The WGC CEO said in a recent interview: “Personally, my view is that Bitcoin will drop to zero, but this stance is not because Bitcoin is opposed to gold.”

According to monitoring by OnchainLens, a crypto whale that had been dormant for two years has suddenly become active, borrowing 816,400 WETH (valued at approximately $153.6 million) from Morpho and Spark to conduct arbitrage trading. The transaction generated $1.88 in revenue, paid $1.53 in fees, resulting in a net profit of just $0.36.

According to Arkham data, at around 16:15 today, three consecutive token burns occurred at CZ’s public donation address: 4,444 meme token “Niu Lai” (contract address starts with 0xD043B6, a namesake of the popularly traded 0xbee-started “Niu Lai” token), 4,444 meme coin MarsCoin, and 4,444 “Binance Life”. Verification reveals the 4,444 Niu Lai meme tokens were not burned by CZ himself. The transaction initiator is the token creator (0xcf86..383), who deployed the contract and set privileged authorization, minted 1 billion tokens to his own address, transferred ~800 million tokens to CZ’s address, then used the transferFrom function to forcibly withdraw 4,444 tokens from CZ’s address to a black hole address to simulate CZ’s burn. CZ’s address had no authorization for this token or the initiator during this period. This tactic is not uncommon. Previously, in 2025, the CAAB token project transferred 80% of its total supply directly to CZ’s donation address, promoting “CZ holdings” to push its market cap to a fake high in a short time and mislead investors. The SHORT token sent 99.9% of its total supply to CZ; after CZ “cleaned up” (burned) them, the token saw a short-term surge, allowing the project team to sell off their holdings. BlockBeats reminds users that on-chain monitoring tools will directly label this transaction as “From: Changpeng Zhao”. A single burn hash cannot be taken as CZ’s endorsement, project participation, or active burning. Contract creators can move balances from other token holders’ addresses, carrying extremely high risks. Meme coins generally lack practical use cases and have highly volatile prices, so investment requires caution.
