Bitcoin extends gains on hopes of a U.S.–Iran truce At the start of the week, bitcoin rebounded to around $64,000. The market then came under pressure again amid conflicting statements from the parties to the Persian Gulf conflict — the U.S. and Iran. Hourly BTC/USD chart on Binance. Data: TradingView. By the weekend, persistent claims by President Donald Trump that a deal was near pushed oil prices lower and helped drive bitcoin above $64,000. Over the week, the first cryptocurrency gained more than 4%. Source: CoinMarketCap. Leading altcoins tracked bitcoin’s positive move, with Solana and Hyperliquid’s token outperforming, up 5.26% and 5.47% respectively. TRON was an exception, falling 3.4%. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw outflows for a fifth straight week, but the figure narrowed to $315.8 million from $1.72 billion previously. Source: SoSoValue. On Friday, the products attracted $85.8 million, a positive signal for the market. Ethereum funds also lost capital for a fifth consecutive week, with $14.9 million in outflows over the last week.

On June 12, the stock began trading on Nasdaq. The company sold 555.5 million shares and raised $75 billion. That more than doubled Saudi Aramco’s 2019 listing.

Russia’s crypto tax bill passed its first reading. Anthropic disabled the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models On June 12, Anthropic suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, which it had introduced three days earlier. The move followed a U.S. government export-control directive. The company said the directive formally bans access for any foreign nationals, including Anthropic’s foreign employees. As a result, the service was shut down entirely. Anthropic linked the authorities’ decision to a technique for bypassing Fable 5’s safeguards. The company said it reviewed the demonstration and saw only a small number of previously known minor vulnerabilities. According to Anthropic, such flaws are relatively simple, and other publicly available models can find them without bypassing restrictions. On June 10, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay, “Policy in the Age of Exponential AI.” He examined the risks tied to rapid technological progress and urged authorities to tighten AI regulation and move from disclosure requirements to mandatory safety testing for the most powerful models. At the same time, according to WSJ, Reuters, and The Information, the U.S. government initiated measures against Anthropic’s latest products after an appeal by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. He told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other officials that company researchers had used Claude Fable 5 to obtain information suitable for cyberattacks. David Sacks, former adviser to President Donald Trump on AI and cryptocurrencies, confirmed that a “trusted partner” reported a jailbreak. The administration allegedly asked Amodei to either close the vulnerability or withdraw the model — he refused. Following the incident, tokens of decentralized AI projects Venice and Morpheus spiked. Over 24 hours, VVV and MOR gained 14% and 21%, respectively.

Wallets will stop accepting incoming transfers to Orchard and will route assets to Orchard addresses under Ironwood. Activation is scheduled for July. Ironwood is the next step after an emergency fix for a critical Orchard bug discovered in late May that theoretically allowed unlimited fake issuance of ZEC. After the vulnerability was fixed, the token’s price surged more than 41%. What else to read?
