RBCH, the largest external shareholder of Solana digital asset treasury company Solmate Infrastructure (SLMT), has filed a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against the company's current executives and directors, accusing them of breach of fiduciary duty, misleading statements, and self-dealing.RBCH is associated with Viktor Fischer, founder and CEO of RockawayX, and currently holds approximately 22.74% of the shares in Solmate's parent company, Brera Holdings. The institution led Solmate's $300 million PIPE financing in September 2025 and committed $50 million.The lawsuit alleges that the Solmate board has engaged in multiple actions detrimental to shareholder interests, including selling shares while other investors were still in a lock-up period, signing advisory agreements favoring board-related parties, and directors Ron Sade and Keren Maimon personally purchasing approximately 2.298 million Class B shares at $4.97 per share, resulting in a roughly 20% dilution for shareholders. The plaintiff claims this transaction was illegal.Fischer stated that Solmate's performance has been severely poor, currently trading at approximately a 50% discount to its net asset value, attributing the problem to poor company management and board self-dealing. Solmate currently holds approximately 2 million SOL on its books, and its share price has fallen about 78% year-to-date, making it one of the worst-performing SOL DATs. In comparison, SOL has declined about 50% over the same period.
According to Protos, Goldfinch—a decentralized lending protocol backed by a16z and originally designed to serve Africa’s unbanked population—is now in deep crisis. On-chain data shows that out of the project’s eight borrowers, two have formally defaulted and six have entered debt restructuring, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding $18 million. Depositors lament that their $50 million investment has “gone down the drain.” Its native token, GFI, has plummeted from its January 2022 high of $32.94 to under $0.07—a 99.8% decline—and the project’s market cap has shrunk from a peak of $390 million to less than $6 million. Goldfinch previously extended over $100 million in loans to borrowers across 18 countries—including a Kenyan motorcycle rental company and a Nigerian salary-advance platform—but its core problem lies in the severe lack of off-chain credit assessment. Borrowers frequently misappropriated funds and refused to repay. As default rates climbed, the project quietly abandoned its original focus on African emerging markets and pivoted toward institutional credit funds such as Ares and Apollo—effectively rendering its original inclusive finance vision hollow.

Bitcoin has dropped approximately 40% since Strategy launched its Bitcoin financing instrument, STRC, which has now fallen below its $100 issuance par value. This has sparked market debate over the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “flywheel” model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but its purchase pace has notably slowed recently. Data shows that during the week ending June 8, the company added 1,550 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. The following week, ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC, valued at about $100 million. In contrast, during a single week in April 2026, the firm bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decline in its recent capital deployment.Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. While minimal relative to its total holdings, the market views this as a sign that cash flow pressures could intensify if STRC’s funding efficiency declines. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock instrument trading near its $100 par value, using dividend adjustments to attract investors and help Strategy raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. STRC has now fallen to historic lows, once dropping to $82.53 before closing at $88.59—roughly 13% below par value.Critics argue that STRC’s dip below par indicates mounting pressure on Strategy’s funding channels. Peter Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, labeled STRC “a typical centralized Ponzi scheme,” claiming the model relies on continuous financing or Bitcoin sales to sustain itself. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC’s recent performance, describing its trading behavior as resembling a “Ponzi scheme.”However, some analysts believe STRC’s decline is more due to leverage liquidations than a fundamental deterioration of Strategy. STRC had long traded around $99 to $100, attracting leveraged traders. When the price broke below a key level, forced liquidations were triggered, exacerbating the drop.Analyst Scott Melker noted that STRC’s current yield has actually improved due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on the $100 liquidation preference, at an STRC price of $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend translates to an actual yield of about 12.8%. If the price falls to $85, the yield could exceed 13%.Strategy is expected to announce its next STRC dividend adjustment by June 30. The market is now focused on whether the STRC discount will persist and whether Strategy’s model of using capital market financing to continuously accumulate BTC can remain stable. (Cointelegraph)
According to Bloomingbit, Ji Man-soo, Senior Research Fellow at the Korea Financial Research Institute, stated that before deciding on the issuing entity for the Korean won stablecoin, policymakers should prioritize reviewing concrete use cases and feasibility. Citing Hong Kong as a reference case, he noted that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has granted stablecoin issuance licenses to HSBC Hong Kong and AnchorPoint Financial—a joint venture established by Standard Chartered Hong Kong, Animoca Brands, and HKT—covering use cases such as cross-border payments, domestic payments, tokenized asset trading, and supply chain finance, all aligned with broader digital finance strategies including central bank digital currency (CBDC) and tokenized deposits. Ji Man-soo suggested that discussions around the Korean won stablecoin should begin by asking, “Which problems in Korea’s domestic financial and payment systems can it solve?” Concurrently, specific applications for payments, asset tokenization, and trade finance must be designed to ensure the regulatory framework is effectively implemented.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley (@HHorsley) stated that the crypto market is undergoing a cyclical shift similar to the dot-com bubble burst of the 2000s—previously, numerous projects commanded high valuations based on “possibility narratives,” whereas the market is now transitioning toward maturity. Going forward, the number of winners will shrink dramatically; however, those projects that emerge victorious based on verifiable fundamentals will achieve scale and longevity exceeding market expectations.
Odaily, "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X, reviewing his past experiences where his investment views faced skepticism. He stated that many original investment ideas initially face strong opposition, but ultimately the market becomes the standard for judging right and wrong. He has faced significant criticism for being bullish on several companies, for example:$AXTI: Early on, it was questioned as a "scam company," and related discussions even led to a ban from Reddit's WSB forum. However, it later received coverage from Reuters, and the performance of the Indium Phosphide (InP) substrate industry company, along with institutional investor validation, confirmed its logic.$RPI: Initially labeled a "meme stock" by the market, analysts believed it lacked fundamentals. However, earnings reports showed the company's future revenue growth expectation reached 58%, and it was subsequently re-evaluated as a high-growth AI hardware company.$SIVE: Once considered a "meme stock" by numerous investors, it later gained institutional buying support, including attention from Fidelity Research, JPMorgan Chase, and others, and announced partnerships with companies like Jabil and GlobalFoundries.Serenity stated, "The market will ultimately decide what is right or wrong, not the angry comments or posts on X (formerly Twitter)." He added that as each investment thesis gets validated one by one, the eventual market performance overshadows the early noise. He also listed several other cases that were initially doubted but later gained market recognition, including:$AAOI: Near $30, management was questioned as "untrustworthy";$LITE: At $300, the photonics industry was considered to be in a bubble;$RKLB: At $20, it was dismissed as just a low-revenue launch company;$HOOD: At $20, it faced negative sentiment due to the GameStop trading restriction incident;$IQE: Considered just a small UK company lacking partnerships in the photonics field;$SOI: Analysts at a European bank considered its valuation too high;$NBIS: Questioned for having no competitive moat;$INTC: The market thought it couldn't compete with TSMC;$MRVL: The market feared its ASIC market share would be taken by Broadcom;$AEHR: The market misinterpreted its earnings report, thinking the company lacked revenue;$EWY: The market believed the South Korean semiconductor cycle was in a bubble.
Odaily news, Michael Saylor posted on X platform to review Strategy's Bitcoin strategy journey, stating that when he gave the relevant speech in October 2022, the price of Bitcoin was about $20,000, Strategy held 130,000 BTC at the time, valued at approximately $2.6 billion, and the stock MSTR (adjusted for stock split) was priced at around $24.Michael Saylor stated that weeks later, Bitcoin fell below $16,000, and the company's debt once exceeded the total value of its BTC and cash reserves by about $300 million. The MSTR stock price also dropped to around $13 by the end of 2022. Strategy then persisted in executing its Bitcoin strategy, strengthened company operations, and continued to raise funds to invest in BTC. Since 2022, the company has raised over $60 billion in new capital, which was used to purchase Bitcoin, adding more than 716,000 BTC to its holdings.Michael Saylor said that currently, the value of BTC and dollar reserves held by Strategy exceeds the company's debt by approximately $48 billion. He thanked the investors who have long supported the company and stated that the company will continue to adhere to its long-termist strategy in the future.
“White-Haired Stock God” Serenity released his personal investment observations, focusing on valuation and shareholding structure analyses of several technology and semiconductor-related companies. He particularly emphasized net asset value (NAV) discounts and growth momentum. His key views include: 1. Wistron is considered one of his top-conviction holdings. Its current market capitalization stands at approximately USD 16.2 billion; Q1 revenue surged 144% year-on-year. It holds ~35.46% of Wiwynn, with the implied value of this stake amounting to ~0.66x Wistron’s market cap. 2. Wiwynn is viewed as having strong continued growth potential and is among his core monitored assets. 3. Priortech holds ~21% of Camtek; the implied value of this stake is ~1.35x Priortech’s own market cap—indicating a quasi-controlling ownership structure. 4. GlobalWafers exhibits a significant NAV discount (~USD 3.5 billion market cap vs. ~USD 7.9 billion in underlying stake value). 5. Korean-listed companies Iljin Holdings and Simmtech Holdings also show notable NAV discounts; however, Serenity remains cautious regarding corporate governance quality and valuation realization capability in Korean firms. Serenity noted that his analysis remains in the research phase, with no final investment conclusions yet drawn. Nevertheless, he leans toward increasing position concentration in these names further on Monday, underscoring that certain companies possess standalone growth capacity and meaningful NAV re-rating potential.

Odaily Odaily News CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the biggest risk for Bitcoin is not a crash, but long-term stagnation. Saylor's STRC structure becomes truly dangerous, not when Bitcoin simply crashes, but when Bitcoin undergoes years of sideways consolidation and a prolonged bear market.If the market still believes in the next rally, sharp pullbacks can be endured. However, long-term stagnation weakens the narrative, reduces demand, compresses the MSTR premium, and makes it difficult for Saylor's financing machine to sustain itself. Ki Young Ju indicated that Saylor's real challenge is not just buying more Bitcoin, but providing the market with new reasons for conviction. Ki Young Ju pointed out that, contrary to the "digital gold" narrative, Bitcoin's performance often resembles that of tech stocks.
