Odaily "White Hair Stock God" Serenity posted on platform X, stating that due to the recent market downturn, his investment portfolio experienced a maximum drawdown of 49.4% this month. However, he still maintains his view on the long-term trend of the AI industry chain.Serenity revealed that his investment portfolio is mainly concentrated in key segments of the AI industry chain, including: semiconductor upstream, memory chips, photonics, humanoid robotics, and AI infrastructure-related companies. Because these areas typically have higher beta attributes, he previously used leveraged investments but has reduced the leverage level after the current round of market decline.Facing market skepticism towards AI-related assets, Serenity stated that recently a large number of investors have begun to believe: "AI is a bubble," "memory chips and the Korean KOSPI market are a bubble," "photonics is a bubble,""humanoid robots will not succeed," and "Neocloud (new AI cloud service providers) will eventually be replaced by hyperscale cloud vendors like Meta." Meanwhile, some retail investors and trading bots have even started advocating for "liquidating everything, the market will not recover."Serenity said he still believes these investment themes are supported by structural revenue growth and technological change. He experienced similar drawdowns in the past when global tariff risks impacted the market, and the market eventually rebounded. His investment horizon is long-term, allowing him to withstand higher volatility, and he will not change his long-term judgment based on short-term price fluctuations. Sharing this drawdown data is also to maintain transparency, allowing the market to see the real risks behind high-volatility growth investments.Serenity added: "If my prediction is that the revenue inflection point will come in the second half of 2027, and it is only 2026 now, then a decline of just a few weeks or months doesn't prove that the investment thesis has failed."

analyst KawzInvests stated that Moonshot AI's upcoming Kimi K3 could become a significant event in the open-source AI space, and the infrastructure demand behind it may drive growth for AI cloud service platforms. Kimi K3 has approximately 2.8 trillion parameters, making it one of the ultra-large-scale open-source models. According to Moonshot's official evaluation, the model's performance is only slightly behind frontier models like Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, and the full model weights are expected to be released on July 27.KawzInvests pointed out that a model of this scale cannot run on an ordinary laptop or even a single server; users need a computing cluster composed of a large number of GPUs to complete model loading and inference. When top-tier open-source models are made available for free, the biggest beneficiaries might not be ordinary users, but rather platforms that offer model hosting and inference services. For example, $DOCN (DigitalOcean) already supports serverless inference services for models like Kimi K2.6. Developers do not need to deploy hardware; they can call the model via API and pay per Token. Additionally, the platform hosts over 70 models and covers GPU leasing, model fine-tuning, and AI Agent development tools.As more large-scale open-source models are released, developers' demand for low-barrier AI infrastructure will continue to increase. Model hosting, inference services, and GPU cloud platforms may become key beneficiaries in the open-source AI wave.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the 22-year development history of gold ETFs may provide the closest reference path for Bitcoin ETF investors. Both are packaging vehicles for non-yielding, non-cash-flow store-of-value assets, with their performance primarily driven by investor sentiment rather than earnings, coupons, or policy support.
as the market sees a lower probability of a major shock to the U.S. dollar in the short term, the cost for investors to hedge against dollar volatility has fallen to its lowest level this year.Data shows that the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index's 1-month implied volatility gauge, which measures expectations for dollar fluctuations, dropped to its lowest level since last December this week. This marks a clear decline from the market volatility peak triggered by the outbreak of the Iran war in March this year.Market participants believe that despite ongoing uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, traders are not currently anticipating a risk of sharp volatility for the dollar.As the world's primary reserve currency, the dollar's safe-haven demand and interest rate trends have always been closely watched by the market. The current decline in dollar volatility reflects investors' reduced concerns about the future exchange rate environment, while also indicating that the market is awaiting the emergence of new macro catalysts.

Odaily Odaily News Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated on platform X that the US ETF market is experiencing unprecedented expansion. A total of 242 ETFs were launched in June this year, setting a new single-month issuance record, equivalent to approximately 11 new products per day. In the first half of 2026, the number of newly added ETFs reached 730. At the current pace, the full-year total could surpass 1,450, significantly surpassing last year's record.Eric Balchunas particularly highlighted the aggressive expansion strategy of emerging issuer Corgi. Data shows that Corgi launched over 100 ETFs in June, already ranking as the sixth-largest ETF issuer. If the current issuance pace continues (the company still has about 350 ETFs in the registration stage), Corgi could overtake BlackRock by the end of this year to become the issuer with the highest number of ETFs in the market.Balchunas noted that it took BlackRock over 20 years to build its current ETF product lineup, whereas Corgi may achieve a similar scale in less than a year. However, growth in quantity does not necessarily mean a corresponding increase in capital inflow. Currently, some of Corgi's ETFs have attracted a certain amount of capital, but most products are still in a market cultivation phase. The average asset size of its ETF portfolio is approximately $4 million, compared to the overall ETF industry average of about $3 billion. Corgi still faces a significant challenge in attracting assets. Balchunas described Corgi's mass issuance strategy as "extremely bold," and its rapid expansion has undoubtedly become one of the most attention-grabbing phenomena in the current ETF market.
ARK Invest's "The Bitcoin Quarterly" report for Q2 2026 indicates Bitcoin fell approximately 14% in the second quarter, closing around $58,544, and broke below three major technical moving averages. Historically, this technical pattern is often associated with bearish market conditions. The report shows that despite price pressure, Bitcoin Long-term Holders continued to accumulate, pushing their holdings to a new all-time high of approximately 14.85 million BTC, absorbing coins released during the market correction.ARK Invest stated that on-chain data is signaling signs of seller exhaustion: the supply of BTC in loss exceeds the supply in profit, and the rate of realized losses once surpassed the rate of realized profits. Historically, similar phenomena have often clustered near the bottom of market cycles.The report also pointed out that institutional demand in the Bitcoin market is facing pressure. Both corporate Bitcoin reserves (Treasury Companies) and the ETF ecosystem have shown signs of weakness:The STRC preferred stock price once fell to approximately $74.57, below its $100 par value;U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows for 7 consecutive weeks, with cumulative outflows totaling approximately 70,000 BTC.ARK Invest believes that ETF outflows indicate a weakening of important marginal buying pressure for Bitcoin, but continued accumulation by long-term holders suggests a redistribution of coins is occurring within the market.The firm stated that a clear divergence is currently forming between BTC's price performance and the behavior of long-term holders. Historical data shows that such divergences can often serve as important observation signals for market cycle turning points.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin miners are currently facing severe operational pressure, with their financial health indicators dropping to levels seen during historical bear market high-pressure phases. Analyzing multiple data dimensions including miner issuance revenue, block time, transaction fees, and overall revenue, the Miner Financial Health Ratio (7-day average) is currently fluctuating within the 10% to 30% range, reflecting significant pressure on mining enterprises' profitability, as similar low levels typically only appear near peak bear market periods.
Peter Brandt, a seasoned trader and renowned chart analyst, has released his latest technical analysis. He points out that the daily chart of Nasdaq 100 mini futures is forming a diamond pattern, indicating a potential market top. Regarding Bitcoin, Brandt offers a forecast based on historical cycles: BTC may first rebound by $10,000, then retreat to the $40,000 range, forming the bottom of the current cycle around early October 2026. With the current price fluctuating near $60,000, he warns of the downside risk associated with false breakouts. Maintaining a long-term optimistic view, Brandt suggests that if Bitcoin continues its four-year halving cycle pattern, the price could reach between $300,000 and $500,000 by 2029.

This makes it the 130th largest holder of the token. Analysis indicates that this large-scale buying activity by the address may signal the start of a new round of capital deployment, although it is currently too early to confirm whether it represents a broader accumulation trend.

Bitcoin failed to hold above $65,000 on Wednesday, dropping to an intraday low of $62,640, breaking through the $64,500 Put Wall associated with this week's option expiry. Glassnode数据显示，over 65% of Bitcoin flowing into exchanges comes from long-term holders selling at a loss. The firm noted that this reading aligns with early bear market phases, during which this group dominated the sell-side until selling pressure gradually exhausted. Tim Sun, Senior Researcher at Hashkey, stated that the global equity pullback and accelerated deleveraging of semiconductor and AI-related assets have dampened market risk appetite and reduced institutional exposure to Bitcoin. He pointed out that the derivatives market does not show crowded leverage, with selling pressure concentrated in the spot market. After a net outflow of $425 million on Monday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $181 million on Tuesday and $108 million on Wednesday. Related funds have attracted cumulative inflows of approximately $51 billion since their launch in 2024. (Decrypt)
