Zhou Xiaochuan: No consensus has been reached on global macroeconomic policy coordination
2025 Lujiazui Forum "Plenary Session II: Enhancing the Coordination of Global Monetary Policies", Zhou Xiaochuan, Vice Chairman of the Twelfth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Governor of the People's Bank of China, stated that global monetary policies, including macroeconomic policies, were originally independent and did not require coordination, and could not be coordinated. However, since the beginning of this century, global economic cycles and macroeconomic conditions have converged, and the macroeconomic situation of major countries also has an impact on other countries. Major countries holding reserve currencies need to consider global impacts. Currently, there is no institution responsible for coordinating global macroeconomic policies, and it is in a "three noes" state, with no institution, no tools, and no consensus.

Ethereum’s new privacy solution cWETH draft released, no need to modify the protocol layer to achieve private transactions
on June 18, a proposal named "Confidential Wrapped Ethereum Privacy" was posted on the Ethereum research forum. The proposal introduces the concept of confidential Wrapped Ethereum (cWETH), aiming to achieve privacy protection for ETH transactions at the application layer. cWETH combines the Twisted ElGamal commitment mechanism and Diffie-Hellman protocol with elliptic curve, and uses zk-SNARKs to verify the legitimacy of transactions, allowing users to make peer-to-peer payments without revealing balance and transfer amounts. Compared to existing solutions, cWETH can access encrypted balances without solving the discrete logarithm problem, improving efficiency. This proposal is expected to develop into a complete confidential token standard (EIP).

ZachXBT: Crypto industry’s ‘crime supercycle’ is intensifying
ZachXBT, a cryptocurrency security researcher, issued a warning today that the "crime super cycle" in the cryptocurrency industry is intensifying. The researcher pointed out that there has been a significant increase in industry abuses since politicians introduced meme coins and several legal cases were dismissed. Money laundering groups have successfully processed proceeds from hacker attacks on platforms such as Bybit, DMM Bitcoin, and WazirX, with the black market size on Tron estimated to be as high as 50-100 billion US dollars, and most of the funds come from unknown sources. What is even more worrying is that many protocol teams turn a blind eye to activities involving more than 50% of stolen funds, only charging fees; at the same time, influential individuals and KOLs engage in deception without consequences. ZachXBT warned that although the current environment may bring short-term benefits, the long-term impact is concerning.
