Investors are continuing to exit hedge strategies, with funds being withdrawn from both bitcoin-ETFs and gold-based funds. Analysts at JPMorgan highlighted this trend, according to The Block.   From June 1 to June 5, exchange-traded instruments based on precious metals lost about $20 billion. Bitcoin funds have seen outflows for the fourth consecutive week, with the pace gradually increasing. Spot Bitcoin ETF dynamics. Source: SoSoValue. “We are seeing a broad retreat from this strategy by both retail and institutional investors. The trend has continued for gold and accelerated for bitcoin in recent weeks,” the bank stated. JPMorgan refers to hedge strategies as the demand for alternative assets as protection against the devaluation of fiat currencies. Analysts noted that this trend has weakened not only in ETFs but also in futures markets and investor positioning in recent weeks. Interest in gold has been declining since late February. For bitcoin, the reversal began in early May following a brief surge amid the Middle East conflict. JPMorgan also assessed the share of non-bank investor allocations in gold and the leading cryptocurrency relative to stocks, bonds, and cash. After steady growth since mid-2022, this indicator has shown a noticeable decline. Source: JPMorgan/The Block. JPMorgan noted that the correlation between bitcoin and the real yield of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds recently turned negative, similar to gold earlier this year.  Conversely, the relationship between precious metals and the S&P; 500 has become positive. According to the bank, both assets have behaved more like risk assets in recent months. However, the company suggested that weak market sentiment could eventually become a “bullish countertrend signal.” Previously, Bitwise noted a shift in advisors' interest from bitcoin to stablecoins and tokenized assets.

Due to exposed public keys, older addresses (P2PK) will become easy targets for quantum attacks. Approximately 1.7 million BTC in the Bitcoin network, including assets belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto, are at risk, according to a report by Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Council on digital asset migration.  In total, up to 7 million BTC could be at risk. Experts have identified three scenarios to address the issue: Burning assets. Set a deadline for transferring funds to secure addresses. After this, access to old wallets will be blocked. Preserving rights. Avoid interfering with the network's operation. This will protect property rights but pose a risk to market stability. Intermediate options. Limit the withdrawal speed from old addresses or use special proofs of ownership. As a compromise, the council proposed several mechanisms: Hourglass: limit the amount of funds withdrawn from old addresses in a single block to prevent market collapse; BIP-361: use ZK-proofs to confirm ownership of old keys without revealing them; PACTs: create secure commitments for fund transfers before a quantum threat emerges. The council noted that the technical aspect of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is clear. The challenges lie in governance and achieving community consensus. The report's authors recommended that developers begin preparing migration protocols now, even though quantum computers do not yet pose a real threat. In December 2025, analyst Willy Woo stated that Bitcoin veterans would buy Satoshi Nakamoto's coins in the event of a quantum attack.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has introduced Coinbase for Agents, a service that connects an AI agent to a user's account for trading, payments, and other operations within set limits. The solution is available through the MCP protocol (for use with ChatGPT or Claude) and a command-line interface for developers. The agent can operate with the user's main account or through a separate isolated portfolio. Examples provided by the company include rebalancing a portfolio to 60% BTC, 20% ETH, and 20% SOL, as well as placing limit orders when the market drops by 5%, 10%, or 15%. Another scenario is purchasing $20 worth of ETH daily for two weeks after analyzing 30 days of hourly prices. According to Coinbase, the service already supports spot and derivatives trading. The company plans to add stocks, index funds, prediction markets, and commodities. Compliance and transaction monitoring functions operate automatically. The agent only accesses operations authorized by the user. In the future, subscribers will be able to specify the exact trade size, list of permissible interactions, and spending limits. Additionally, the Coinbase app now includes an "Advisor" (Coinbase Advisor), an integrated AI assistant that provides investment recommendations and is registered with the SEC and CFTC.

After months of market hibernation, global interest in digital assets is showing its first signs of a pulse.

Prometheus, a startup founded by Jeff Bezos and Vik Bajaj, has raised $12 billion in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at $41 billion, according to TechCrunch. The company is developing an AI system to accelerate the design and production of physical objects, ranging from jet engines to medical devices and consumer electronics. The founders describe the future product as a "universal AI engineer," intended to streamline the process from concept and prototype to mass production. In an interview with Axios, Bezos explained using a jet engine as an example, noting that altering its design to increase thrust by 10% can take years due to manufacturing complexities. Prometheus aims to reduce such cycles by a factor of ten or more. The startup emphasized that it is not about creating robots or simply automating factories. Prometheus focuses on developing AI for the real economy and the early stages of production: design, modeling, prototyping, and process optimization. Details of the product and its public launch timeline remain confidential. According to Axios, the company does not disclose how it trains its models but acknowledges the absence of an "internet of manufacturing data" to feed into the model. "The cycle from idea to mass production and market launch can be very long," Bezos noted. He stated that if a task currently requiring 100 engineers and 10 years could be accomplished by 10 engineers in one year, "we will simply build a lot more things." Bajaj added that simplifying the realization of ideas will lead to more inventions and greater involvement in the process. According to Semafor, Prometheus uses data from physics laws, its own tests, and collaborations with companies. A significant portion of the funds will be allocated to computing power, utilizing an internal cluster and purchasing resources from external providers. This round marks the second for Prometheus, following a $6.2 billion raise at the end of 2025. New investors include JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, DST Global, Arch Venture Partners, and Bezos himself, as reported by Axios and Semafor. In April, the startup Physical Intelligence, founded by former Google engineers, introduced the π0.7 model. Developers claimed a "qualitative leap" in AI's ability to generalize skills and perform tasks it was not directly trained for.

Law enforcement agencies from 11 countries have shut down the crypto service AudiA6, which was based in Georgia, as part of a joint operation. Between 2022 and 2025, more than €336 million could have been laundered through the platform. Placeholder on the AudiA6 website. Source: Europol. The investigation involved agencies from the US, Australia, France, Poland, Georgia, Iceland, Canada, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK, coordinated through Eurojust and Europol. As part of the operation, two alleged administrators of the platform were detained. Authorities conducted searches at three locations, disabled 25 domains, seized over 30 servers, confiscated more than 80 vehicles, and several properties. Authorities also froze €692,000 in cryptocurrency and seized an additional €86,000. According to Eurojust, the service was used by ransomware operators. They transferred stolen cryptocurrency to the group's wallets and received "cleaned" funds back within about an hour. The origin of the funds was obscured by a chain of transactions. The commission ranged from 3% to 10%. European authorities also linked AudiA6 to the darknet forum Dark2Web, where illegal services were advertised and cybercriminals communicated. Investigators identified over 6,000 Know Your Customer (KYC) records linked to "money mule" accounts. Suspects registered these accounts using stolen or purchased identities and used Russian-speaking intermediaries to launder criminal proceeds through crypto exchanges. According to Chainalysis, since 2021, approximately 10,333 BTC, valued at around $389 million, were sent to AudiA6 wallets. In March 2026, Europol, in collaboration with Coinbase, Microsoft, and other tech companies, shut down the Tycoon 2FA platform, which provided phishing software services.
