According to Arkham monitoring, a wallet that had been dormant for about 2 months has recently reactivated. It transferred over $100,000 in funds from Ethereum to Solana via a cross-chain bridge. Subsequently, within just 7 hours, the address accumulated a total of 529,160 ANSEM tokens. The current value of its holdings is approximately $101,450, representing 0.05291% of ANSEM's total supply. 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)

According to TechFlow Research, JPMorgan's quantitative report on July 16 noted that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has cumulatively declined by approximately 19% since its high on June 22, but quantitative models indicate that the unwinding of crowding in AI-related sectors is not yet complete. The "AI Bubble Interest Score" tracked by the model remains in the historical highest range; at this level, the probability of SOX falling another 8% or more in the short term exceeds 50%. JPMorgan provided a quantifiable entry signal: only when the score falls out of the historical highest range is it truly time to consider scaling in. Before this, every rebound may be pressed back by panic narratives. For US stock investors, now is not the time to add positions; it is recommended to wait for the window in mid-August, or use put options and defensive sectors to hedge. For A-share investors, the volatility of the domestic AI sector is higher; the same logic can be applied, waiting for clearer right-side signals, with the August earnings period being the key window.
Argentine Federal Judge Marcelo Martinez ordered the identification and freezing of a group of wallets linked to Libra, after the Federal Police Cybercrime Technical Department tracked the flow of related funds across multiple crypto networks since May. The investigation involves 8 wallets labeled "Libra team," which are directly connected to the token issuance.The report shows that 4 of these wallets had funneled nearly $57 million to an address, which was previously frozen and then unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, related funds were transferred to a Tron address via an interoperability protocol, with the amount close to $500,000. At least 10 out of 17 transactions passed through Binance, while another 8 wallets are associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex. Some users involved in the $8.2 million in funds could potentially be identified through the KYC rules of centralized exchanges. The remaining funds are currently managed by Libra Trust, which plans to distribute them as grants to Argentine companies by November. There are already 71 applications pending approval.
According to crypto analyst Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc), citing CryptoQuant data, Strategy has paused BTC purchases, and demand on the ETF side has also shown no signs of recovery—after ending eight consecutive weeks of net capital outflows, net flows turned negative again this week, wiping out all capital inflows from last week, while large institutional buying pressure continues to decline.
According to STAR Market Daily, Morgan Stanley issued a report indicating that TSMC's 2026 full-year revenue guidance significantly exceeded expectations. The company raised its 2026 revenue growth guidance to over 40% year-on-year, previously over 30%. Management attributed the upward revision to strong AI demand, despite challenges in consumer demand. Cloud Service Providers (CSP) customers are rapidly increasing cloud capital expenditure. TSMC did not update its AI semiconductor revenue CAGR forecast, but stated that actual performance is higher than the previous forecast of 55%-60%. The bank believes a 70% to 80% CAGR for TSMC's AI semiconductor business is a reasonable assumption. The bank raised its target price from 2,888 New Taiwan Dollars to 2,988 New Taiwan Dollars, maintaining an "Overweight" rating. In a volatile market environment, the company's quality profitability should continue to attract capital inflows; next, the 2026 second-quarter cloud capital expenditure updates announced by CSP customers will be an important catalyst.

Odaily News Renowned trader Ansem posted on X, stating that buybacks (for token prices) actually don’t have much effect.Ansem further noted that Hyperliquid's annualized revenue is $800 million, while Pump.fun's annualized revenue is $440 million; however, HYPE's FDV is as high as $65 billion, whereas PUMP's FDV is only $1.4 billion. Both teams regularly use a portion of their business profits for buybacks, yet their P/S ratios are vastly different.This disparity doesn't stem from how much revenue the businesses actually generate, but rather reflects the market's "trust premium" for the teams — a trust determined by their actions and decisions in the market. Hyperliquid never over-promises, focuses purely on product delivery, and generously rewards core users who contribute the most to the platform based on established metrics. In contrast, Pump.fun generated $1 billion in revenue, raised another $1 billion in an ICO, and promised users an airdrop, but has yet to deliver. Despite being one of the most successful and profitable businesses in the crypto industry, they lack a social consensus bond with their core user base and thus cannot achieve the trust premium that Hyperliquid enjoys.Therefore, what determines a business's valuation includes not only the "tangible value" derived purely from revenue and other metrics but also "intangible value." Trust, memetics, and attention are all crucial in the market, yet they are currently discussed far too little.
