According to Bloomberg, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has canceled its planned headquarters relocation and will renew its lease at the current location for five years to accommodate up to 100 new employees in response to industry growth and regulatory demands. The CFTC is striving to become the primary regulatory body for prediction markets, and if the Clarity Act is passed, establishing its status as the main regulator of the cryptocurrency industry, the workload is expected to increase further.

Meanwhile, the CFTC recently offered a deferred resignation plan to about 50 employees and has provided buyouts to some long-term employees. Data from the Federal Personnel Management Agency shows that the agency's workforce has decreased by nearly 25% since 2024, leaving only 553 employees as of April. The CFTC is seeking to increase its total number of employees to 650 in its budget request for fiscal year 2027. Additionally, under a White House executive order, 25 positions (including policy advisors and senior legal advisors) have been reclassified, removing civil service protections, allowing these employees to be dismissed at any time.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately

On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
