These shifts suggest that capital is starting to flow back into the ETH ecosystem, with whales quietly accumulating assets over the past year. Several promising projects within the ETH ecosystem and on EVM chains are worth highlighting.

- 11:48Bloomberg Analyst: There Is Strong Market Demand for Products with "Deterministic Yield Structures"Odaily Planet Daily reported that Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated, "Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has just filed for some 'structured' ETFs, also known as buffer ETFs. Essentially, they are similar to ARKK, but with a 50% downside buffer, while on the upside (as I understand it), investors can capture all gains except for the initial 5% increase. In my view, this indicates that there is very strong market demand for products with 'defined outcome structures'."
- 11:47SlowMist: Popular Solana Tool on GitHub Conceals Crypto Theft TrapAccording to Jinse Finance, the SlowMist security team reported that on July 2, a victim claimed that the previous day they had used an open-source project hosted on GitHub—zldp2002/solana-pumpfun-bot—and subsequently had their crypto assets stolen. After analysis by SlowMist, it was found that in this attack, the perpetrator disguised malicious code as a legitimate open-source project (solana-pumpfun-bot), luring users to download and execute it. Under the guise of boosting the project's popularity, users unsuspectingly ran a Node.js project containing malicious dependencies, resulting in wallet private key leaks and asset theft. The entire attack chain involved the coordinated operation of multiple GitHub accounts, which expanded the scope of dissemination, increased credibility, and made the attack highly deceptive. At the same time, this type of attack combines social engineering with technical means, making it difficult to fully defend against even within organizations. SlowMist advises developers and users to be extremely cautious with GitHub projects from unknown sources, especially when wallet or private key operations are involved. If it is necessary to run or debug such projects, it is recommended to do so in an isolated environment on a machine without sensitive data.
- 11:47German Chancellor Says Tariff Agreement with the US Must Be Reached as Soon as PossibleAccording to Jinse Finance, German Chancellor Merz has urged the European Union to resolve its tariff dispute with the United States as soon as possible in order to protect key industries such as automobiles, steel, and pharmaceuticals. He stated that Europe must face the prospect of the US weakening its commitment to Europe, and there is reason to doubt whether both sides can maintain common interests in the long term. Merz said, "I, along with everyone else, will do everything possible to keep the US on our side. But we must also be prepared to accept the fact that, at the very least, America's commitment to Europe and its presence in Europe will diminish." "A result must be reached as soon as possible. Rather than being lengthy and complicated, it should be quick and simple, even if it still requires several months of negotiations," he added.
