🚨🇪🇺 EU ECONOMY IN FREE FALL
The EU admits soaring energy prices could wipe out up to 1.3 MILLION jobs across Europe.
Auto industry: up to 600,000 jobs on the line.
Higher bills. Higher inflation. More layoffs.
Europe's economic decline is getting harder to ignore.
🚨 $ZEC JUST LOST THE MARKET'S TRUST
• Zcash just revealed a critical vulnerability in its Orchard shielded pool
• The bug could have allowed an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit $ZEC
• Because Zcash transactions are private, it's impossible to prove whether the bug was exploited before it was fixed
• Developers rushed out an emergency patch and are now exploring ways to verify the network's supply
The bug is fixed.
The problem is nobody can prove whether fake coins were created before the fix.
That's what the market is pricing in right now.
🚨BREAKING: Coinbase launches pre-IPO trading, starting with SpaceX.
Coinbase now offers pre-IPO perpetual futures, allowing non-US users to trade the price of private companies before they go public.
Trade it before Wall Street gets it.
CycloTech just flew the BlackBird, the world's first aircraft to lift off on six spinning CycloRotors instead of propellers.
Built in Austria, it vectors thrust a full 360 degrees, so it can hover, brake in the air, and slide sideways like a car easing into a parking spot.
Concept to first flight in just 11 months.
LATEST: More than half of all $BTC in circulation is now held at an unrealized loss, a signal that has coincided with every major bear market bottom in history.
BREAKING: Venezuela’s crude oil exports have surged +61% YoY, to 1.25 million barrels per day, the highest in 7 years.
The surge was led by rising shipments to the US at ~558,000 barrels per day, India at ~427,000 barrels per day, and Europe at ~169,000 barrels per day.
In total, 67 cargoes were exported from Venezuelan ports in May.
Since November 2025, Venezuela’s oil exports have surged +150%, or ~750,000 barrels,
This comes as the US eased sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry following the capture of Maduro earlier this year.
Venezuela's oil ministry is now targeting output of 1.37 million barrels per day by year-end, which would mark a +22% increase from 2025 levels and the highest since US sanctions were first imposed in 2019.
Venezuelan oil is increasingly flowing into global markets.

Arthur Hayes Dumps His Entire HYPE And NEAR Holdings
Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) says he has exited his entire $HYPE and $NEAR positions ahead of what he believes could be a market peak before September.

China’s virtual reality shooting game turns shopping malls into a real life play zone
Gun controllers with mounted smartphones for real-time overlays. Virtual enemies + effects overlay directly onto the real mall interior through the device camera feed.
🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European Union's share of the global economy has fallen from 30% to 17% in just 17 years.
That's roughly the same relative decline China experienced during the Qing Dynasty.
The difference?
China took about 50 years.
Europe did it in 17.
For decades, Europe helped shape the global economy, global institutions, and the rules of the international order.
Now it's increasingly adapting to a world being shaped by others.
The real question is whether Europe still knows how to stop it.

Paris-based startup SquareMind recently raised $18M to launch Swan, the world’s first robot designed to capture standardized, full-body dermoscopic skin imaging.
The funding round was led by Sonder Capital, founded by Fred Moll, the “father of surgical robotics” who built Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci system in the 1990s.
Swan uses a robotic arm to scan a patient’s entire skin surface in minutes, paired with AI software that tracks new or changing moles across visits.
The tech addresses a critical bottleneck in dermatology, where months-long waitlists collide with the fact that 80% of melanomas are new lesions.
Commercial launch in the US and Europe is expected later this year.
Global food price inflation is accelerating:
Thailand's white rice prices surged +20% in May, the biggest monthly increase in data going back to 2008.
This benchmark used for Asian rice prices has surged +26% since April, to ~$480 per ton, while Chicago rice futures prices jumped +15% last month.
Rice is a staple food for over half the global population, estimated at 3.5 to 4 billion people.
Prices are expected to rise even further with fertilizer prices experiencing more pressure, as rice is a fertilizer-intensive grain.
Nitrogen fertilizer prices in Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines have soared up to +50% since the start of the Iran War in February.
Food price pressures are intensifying globally.
