A preliminary on-chain investigation into the BONK DAO governance attack found funding exposure between suspected attacker-linked addresses and wallets associated with the Realms founder and Crypto Notte. According to ChainCatcher, on-chain security researcher Specter said the suspected attacker created a malicious governance proposal on June 30, 2026, using a specific address. Specter said the proposal was structured to pass only after securing voting power equivalent to 1% of BONK’s circulating supply. He added that the attacker acquired the required voting power between July 4 and July 5 through exchange purchases and by borrowing via marginfi, with the borrowing totaling about $4 million.

According to Lianhe Zaobao citing AFP, Canada’s Ministry of Infrastructure said on July 11 that Canada and the U.S. state of Michigan have agreed to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge on July 27, with support from the U.S. government. The USD 4.7 billion bridge (about SGD 8.26 billion) links Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, and construction began in 2018. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month that Canada had indefinitely delayed the opening date at the request of the United States. In February, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block the bridge’s construction, saying the U.S. was being treated unfairly and demanding that at least half of the bridge be owned by the United States. A fact sheet from the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said the bridge was fully financed by Canada and will be jointly owned by Canada and Michigan.

According to Lianhe Zaobao, Japan’s House of Representatives on July 10 passed a ruling-party-backed revision to the Imperial House Law by an overwhelming vote of more than two-thirds. The bill would allow the imperial family to adopt male descendants from former imperial branches as adopted sons to address a shrinking pool of heirs, and would allow female members of the imperial family to retain their status after marriage. The revision, described as Japan’s most significant reform to the imperial succession system since the current law took effect in 1947, was submitted last month by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Under the proposal, adopted sons would not be eligible to inherit the throne, but their male descendants would be. The bill also removes a provision requiring female royals to lose imperial status upon marrying a commoner, though it does not specify how the status of their spouses and children would be handled. The bill drew support from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Nippon Ishin no Kai, as well as some opposition parties, while other opposition lawmakers criticized what they described as a preference for male succession and an effort to rule out the possibility of a female or matrilineal emperor. Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara defended the approach, citing the existing law’s provision that the throne be inherited through male imperial descendants. The ruling bloc plans to begin deliberations in a House of Councillors special committee on July 14 and 15, aiming for final passage by July 17.

An Iranian university professor said the memorandum of understanding was not properly implemented from the outset and that its first paragraph was effectively meaningless. According to Jin10, Iranian university professor Hakimeh Saghaye-Biria said Lebanon is still being attacked, and that the Israeli military has neither agreed to withdraw from southern Lebanon nor stopped strikes on Lebanese territory. She added that the U.S. side has continued to retain language about the use of force, which she said in substance violates the spirit of the memorandum’s first paragraph. Saghaye-Biria also said the second paragraph, which involves respect for the sovereignty of both sides, is equally important. She said sovereignty is not limited to land, but also covers territorial waters and airspace. She said Iran is watching whether the U.S. truly respects Iran’s sovereignty in the territorial waters of the Strait of Hormuz, or whether it is trying to bypass that premise in other ways. She said these issues need to be examined within a broader framework, including whether the memorandum was ever implemented from the beginning.

Elon Musk said he was “clearly wrong” about Anthropic, calling it “obviously currently the leader in AI” after months of public criticism. According to BeInCrypto, Musk praised Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable models, said no company has released a system as good, and predicted “Mythos 2” would be ready soon. Musk added he would “never cut off” Anthropic in a way that would hurt it badly, even as a competitor. The shift comes after Anthropic agreed in May 2026 to lease compute from SpaceXAI’s Colossus 1 near Memphis, paying roughly $1.25 billion monthly for over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs through May 2029, as SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.5 this week.
