### 🌍 Geopolitics and Macroeconomics

#### 🇮🇷 Iran — USA/Israel: from strikes to the risk of all‑out war
The conflict between Iran and the West entered a dangerous new phase. On the night of June 8, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a series of strikes on military facilities in western and central Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded with missile attacks on Israeli airbases (Nevatim, Tel‑Nof, Ramat‑David) and petrochemical plants in Haifa. Following a joint US‑Israeli operation, reports emerged of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. A 40‑day mourning period has been declared, along with a non‑working week. US President Donald Trump confirmed that the naval blockade of Iranian ports would remain until a peace agreement is reached, not ruling out a ground operation or special forces deployment.

Analysis: The region is teetering on the brink of a full‑scale war. The strike on the leadership fundamentally changes the situation and makes a return to negotiations highly unlikely.

#### 🛢 Oil: surge amid escalation
Oil prices jumped sharply in response to the morning news from the Middle East. Brent briefly rose to $98.08 and traded around $97.50 by midday (+$4.41 per barrel). WTI climbed to $95.47 (+$4.53). The gain exceeded 4% due to the real threat of supply disruptions from the Gulf region. European gas (TTF) also rose, surpassing $600 per thousand cubic metres.

Analysis: The market is pricing in an “Iran premium”, and geopolitics remain the dominant factor.

#### 🇪🇺 Europe: digital sovereignty legislative package
The European Commission officially presented a package of measures to achieve technological independence, including the Cloud and AI Development Act. It obliges public bodies to use “sovereign” cloud and AI infrastructures operated only by European providers. The goal is to overcome dependence on US corporations and create its own technological bloc.

#### 🇷🇺 Russia: ruble, markets, and the Central Bank’s rate
The Russian stock market continued to decline: the MOEX index dropped to 2,550 points, the lowest since November 18, 2025. Experts unanimously believe that at its June 19 meeting, the Central Bank will likely cut the key rate by 0.5 percentage points to 14%. Market participants expect it to fall to 10‑12% by the end of the year, but geopolitical tensions and high inflation force the Central Bank to remain cautious.

### ₿ Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies

#### 📉 Bitcoin: drop, stabilisation, reversal?
The week began with high volatility. After the crash on June 6, when BTC briefly fell to $59,130, the leading cryptocurrency recovered above $63,000 on June 8. However, many traders disagree on whether that was the bottom, and the Fear & Greed Index remains in “extreme fear” territory.

Analysis: Bitcoin shows a classic oversold bounce, but calling a trend reversal would be premature.

#### 🐋 Strategy: bought another 1,550 BTC despite FUD
Less than a week after its historic sale of 32 BTC, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) resumed purchases, acquiring 1,550 BTC for over $101 million at an average price of about $65,332. This increased its holdings to 845,256 BTC and sent a strong signal to the market, offsetting the panic caused by the first sale. The company’s shares rose 3.8% in pre‑market trading.

Analysis: Strategy’s move can be interpreted as a clear signal that it remains committed to its long‑term strategy, despite a technical sale to cover dividend payments.

#### 📊 Bitcoin ETF outflows continue unabated
Since mid‑May, investors have been pulling money out of Bitcoin ETFs without interruption. Over four weeks, a total of $5.40 billion has exited. Just last week, net outflows reached $1.72 billion, the second‑worst weekly performance since the instrument’s launch.

#### 🪙 ETH/BTC ratio hits one‑year low
The ETH/BTC price ratio hit its lowest level in the past year, reaching 0.025. Ether continues to lose ground against Bitcoin, adding pressure on altcoins.
#### 🐳 Whale plays the correction: sold before the drop, bought back cheaper
One large holder executed a perfect correction trade. Before the fall, he sold ETH, wstETH, and WBTC for nearly $190 million, then bought the assets back cheaper after the crash, locking in profits. A reminder that professional players use volatility to their advantage.

#### 🪙 Ethereum: bounce, but risks remain
Ethereum posted one of the strongest gains among blue chips, rising about 5% amid the broader market recovery to the $1,660‑1,670 range. However, analysts had earlier warned that the next support lies near $1,500, below which the asset could enter a “dive into the unknown”. Shortly before the crash, one Ethereum “whale” sold 60,000 ETH (~$141 million), also weighing on the asset.

#### 🇦🇪 Crypto businessman sentenced to two years in UAE
Arut Nazaryan was sentenced in the United Arab Emirates to two years in prison and a fine of 200 million dirhams (about 4 billion rubles) for operating a crypto exchange without a licence. The case shows that the UAE, despite its crypto‑friendly image, punishes unlicensed activities harshly.

#### 🐹 ZachXBT accuses Arthur Hayes of pump‑and‑dump scheme
Well‑known on‑chain detective ZachXBT has accused BitMEX co‑founder Arthur Hayes of running a pump‑and‑dump scheme. According to the analyst, Hayes first aggressively promotes tokens on his channels and then dumps his positions onto his own followers. No official comment from Hayes has been made.

#### 🎁 MEV bot accidentally sends 167 ETH to a random user
A funny incident occurred on Ethereum: an MEV bot mistakenly sent 167 ETH (~$300,000) to a random user. The recipient got very lucky, while the bot operator suffered a serious loss due to an algorithm error.

#### 🪙 Indian guy tattoos token name with a spelling mistake – community launches a shitcoin
An Indian man decided to promote a token by tattooing its name on his forehead for 40 SOL. But because of a spelling mistake, the community launched a separate shitcoin with that typo. The irony: the shitcoin has already earned nearly $30,000 in fees, while the original token remained in the shadows.

### 🚀 Technology and AI

#### 🐛 AI worm: a new era of cyber threats
Canadian researchers have presented the concept of a new type of malware — an adaptive AI worm. Unlike traditional worms, once this agent breaches a network, it uses the system’s computing resources to autonomously analyse and find vulnerabilities (including zero‑days). It can dynamically adapt to different environments and independently decide its next target, making it a fundamentally new threat to cybersecurity systems.

Analysis: We are on the verge of an “arms race” between autonomous AI attacks and AI‑powered defence.

#### 🤖 Anthropic: AI writes code for AI
Anthropic confirmed that its Claude model now writes more than 80% of the production code used to train the next version of Claude. This accelerates development cycles and brings recursive self‑improvement closer.

#### 👁 NVIDIA unveils Nemotron 3 Ultra
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Ultra — its most powerful open‑source language model. The key advantage: it allows you to deploy hundreds of AI agents at low cost instead of a single expensive model. This is a major step toward democratising multi‑agent AI systems and a direct challenge to proprietary solutions from OpenAI and Anthropic.

#### 🍓 AI boom in Silicon Valley becomes a goldmine for escort services
The tech boom in Silicon Valley has produced an unexpected side effect: local techies earning millions pay thousands of dollars for the company of women who understand IT, crypto, and biohacking. Demand for “intellectual escort” has skyrocketed, creating a niche with six‑figure cheques.

#### 🇪🇺 EU legislation on AI
In addition to the sovereignty package, the EU also published long‑awaited guidelines for classifying high‑risk AI systems under the AI Act and brought the “Digital Omnibus on AI” to a parliamentary vote.

### 🏦 Finance and Investments
#### 📉 Markets under pressure
Asian and European markets opened lower due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Oil and gold rose steadily in commodity markets. Investors are rotating into safe‑haven assets.

#### 🏦 Revolut targets $115 billion valuation ahead of IPO
British neobank Revolut is preparing to go public. The company plans a secondary share sale allowing investors and employees to partially cash out. The target valuation is $115 billion, which would make Revolut one of the most valuable fintech projects in history.

### 📋 Cybersecurity and Incidents

#### ☠️ User loses $4.5 million in rETH after 13 wallets hacked
An unknown attacker hacked 13 wallets belonging to one user and stole about $4.5 million in rETH. Analysts believe the access was gained via malware on the victim’s device — likely a keylogger or stealer that intercepted seed phrases and keys.

#### 🚓 Illegal mining farm found under a false floor in Dagestan
In Dagestan, law enforcement discovered an illegal mining farm under a false floor in a residential building, containing 90 devices with a total capacity of about 315 kW. Electricity was stolen, and noise and heat were camouflaged. This is another episode in the series of “grey” mining in the North Caucasus region.

#### 🇨🇳 Chinese court sentences BTC thief to 10 years in prison
A Chinese court has sentenced the thief of 107 bitcoins to 10 years in prison. Importantly, the court recognised Bitcoin as property, strengthening legal protection for crypto assets in the country, despite the general ban on crypto trading.

#### 🛡 Worldwide: growing cyber threats
The news about the AI worm caused widespread alarm in the global expert community. Specialists warn that this technology could be used to create “autonomous, self‑propagating” systems, requiring a complete rethink of current approaches to cybersecurity.
