-International Events-
1. Israeli attack on Palestinians near Gaza aid distribution center kills at least 31: Eyewitnesses said the IDF fired on crowds around 1km from a new aid site run by an Israeli-backed foundation in the al-Mawasi area of western Rafah, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa news agency. Witnesses said Israeli forces fired directly “from tanks and drones”. (IndependentUK) (AC- Somewhat misleading as the area of concern is 1 KM from the aid site. Still troubling however.)
2. Two Dead, 700 Fires, and Nearly 560 Arrests in France After Champions League Final: France saw a record number of arrests following a major sporting event after deadly scenes broke out following Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday.(Breitbart)
3. Polish nationalist Nawrocki wins presidency in setback for pro-EU government: In a victory for European conservatives inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki secured 50.89% of the vote, election commission data showed, an outcome that presages more political gridlock as he is likely to use his presidential veto to thwart Prime Minister Donald Tusk's liberal policy agenda. (Reuters) (AC-Apparently Nawrocki is pro-Bitcoin.)
-US Events-
1. Suspect charged with murder after fire attack on Israeli hostage advocates in Colorado: A man who shouted "free Palestine" and used a "makeshift flamethrower" to attack people marching in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Colorado authorities said early Monday. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, of El Paso County, Colorado, had been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and is an Egyptian national who seemingly acted alone. (NBC)
2. Suspect in custody after 11 stabbed at Oregon homeless services provider: A suspect was in custody after the violence at 7:15 p.m. at Union Gospel Mission. Executive Director Craig Smith said that the attacker was new to the mission, having spent Saturday night there, and was about to check in for a second night when he got into a fight. (NBC)
-Regulatory and Legal-
1. IMF Vs. Bitcoin: Expert Warns Pakistan Will Be The Next To Fold: Less than a week after Pakistan unveiled a plan to channel 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity into Bitcoin mines and artificial-intelligence data centres, the International Monetary Fund has asked Islamabad authorities for “urgent clarification” and scheduled a stand-alone virtual meeting with the Finance Ministry to discuss the power allocation.

-Economic Indicators-
1. US 10-Year Yield Steady as Investors Weigh Tariff Uncertainty: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held steady at 4.42% on Monday, as investors assessed the potential economic fallout from renewed global trade tensions.(TradingEconomics)

-Security Concerns-
1. Insurance companies race to cover crypto kidnap and ransom risks: A wave of violent attacks on cryptocurrency holders is pushing insurers to develop new protections aimed at a growing physical threat: kidnapping for crypto. At least three firms specializing in crypto insurance and security are now preparing tailored kidnap and ransom (K&R) policies for digital asset investors. Relm Insurance CEO Joseph Ziolkowski said his firm is finalizing its K&R offering, but pricing is complex, requiring detailed assessments of a client’s physical and cyber defenses. “If someone has 24/7 personal security detail traveling with them at all times, that obviously would be a credit and would affect premium,” he said. (CoinTelegraph)
2. Hackers now pose as security companies to frame victims while stealing private keys: Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security firm SlowMist, raised the alarm on June 1 after exposing a list of fraudulent X accounts. These accounts, he said, pretend to represent trusted security services while secretly working to compromise their targets. (CryptoSlate)
