Cathie Wood: Although SpaceX has fallen below its IPO price, the bull market is not over yet

Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, posted on X platform that the successful splashdown of SpaceX's Starship last Friday may be a turning point for SpaceX. However, the company's stock price fell further below its IPO price at the opening on Monday. Cathie Wood believes that the stock market is climbing a "wall of worry," but the bull market will not end here. She emphasized that the end of a bull market often comes only when everyone believes that the future holds unlimited possibilities.

BlackRock, Coinbase, and Others Establish a $15 Million Bitcoin Quantum Defense Fund

Odaily Odaily News: BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, Block, Blockstream, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Galaxy have formed the Bitcoin Security Consortium, committing a combined $15 million over three years to fund Bitcoin security research and open-source development focused on quantum computing defense. The consortium does not hold or distribute funds; each member directly selects the developers and researchers they will fund. The consortium stated it will not direct Bitcoin development or take positions on protocol changes. Mike Schmidt from the developer funding non-profit Brink will coordinate related efforts as a volunteer. Currently, there is no quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography. Approximately 6.9 million BTC, worth $450 billion, are held in addresses that could be affected if such a quantum computer emerges. Remediation would require coordination among wallets, exchanges, miners, users, and other parties. Related work includes proposals such as BIP 360, which designs a new output type to limit public key exposure and accommodate post-quantum signature schemes. Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, stated that Core developers are doing important work and that this organization will provide more funding for Bitcoin's long-term security.

Hyperliquid Weekly RWA Trading Volume Surpasses Crypto Assets for First Time, Accounting for 54% of Total Perpetual Contract Volume

According to a post by ARK Invest Crypto Research Director Lorenzo Valente (@LorenzoARK), last week Hyperliquid platform RWA trading volume exceeded crypto assets for the first time, accounting for 54% of the platform's total trading volume. Data shows that last week the total DEX perpetual contract trading volume across the network was $79 billion, of which Hyperliquid accounted for $50 billion, while HIP-3 RWA trading volume alone reached $26 billion, exceeding the sum of crypto perpetual contract trading volumes of all other DEXs combined. Structurally, since June, individual stock trading volume has surpassed indices and commodities, currently accounting for 61% of total RWA trading volume. Based on this, Lorenzo judges that RWA trading and crypto asset trading may emerge as respective category leaders on different platforms in the future, and the importance of holding BTC/ETH/SOL trading traffic may be overestimated by the market.

Bitcoin's supply in loss exceeds supply in profit for the first time since the 2022 bear market bottom

According to ARK Invest data, the proportion of Bitcoin supply in profit fell from approximately 57% to about 46% in the second quarter, while the proportion of supply in loss rose from roughly 43% to about 54%. This marks the first time since the 2022 bear market bottom that the amount of Bitcoin in a loss position has exceeded that in profit. ARK notes that historically, such crossovers have tended to occur near cycle lows, and an increase in the percentage of coins in loss could indicate that selling pressure is being exhausted.

ARK Invest: BTC Price Decline Diverges from Whale Accumulation, Market Cycle Bottom Signals Emerge

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.

ARK Invest Refutes a16z’s View: Traditional Finance May Rely on DeFi Infrastructure, Not Permissioned Blockchains

ARK Invest’s Head of Research, Lorenzo Valente, recently publicly refuted a16z Crypto’s assertion that “traditional finance needs blockchain, not DeFi,” arguing that financial institutions are more likely to be built on open DeFi infrastructure in the future. Public blockchains have already demonstrated their advantages over private blockchain solutions. The growth of tokenized assets on open networks like Ethereum highlights the stronger network effects and scalability potential of public blockchains.Lorenzo Valente pointed out that the builders of the next generation of financial infrastructure may not be traditional financial institutions, but rather crypto-native enterprises, such as Circle and Coinbase.Earlier, a16z Crypto presented a differing view, suggesting that traditional financial institutions are not truly embracing DeFi, but are selectively adopting blockchain technologies that meet their existing compliance, governance, and operational requirements. Banks and asset management firms will build “programmable financial infrastructure” in the future, leveraging core capabilities of blockchain like tokenization and atomic settlement, but while maintaining permissioned management and institutional control.Sentora co-founder Jesus Rodriguez also raised objections to a16z’s stance. He argued that financial institutions might eventually adopt the underlying DeFi infrastructure and layer compliance, custody, and enterprise-grade control mechanisms on top of it.With the rapid development of RWA tokenization, on-chain settlement, and institutional-grade financial applications, the debate over the future dominance of “open DeFi architecture” versus “permissioned blockchain systems” is intensifying.

ARK Invest Executive Questions Stablecoin Consortium Project OpenUSD: Potential Repeat of "Diem-Style Collaborative Failure"

: Lorenzo Valente, ARK Invest's Director of Digital Asset Research, has questioned the stablecoin consortium project OpenUSD, expressing high skepticism about whether such consortium-style stablecoin initiatives can achieve scale. He believes that similar alliances have emerged multiple times before, including Diem and Global Dollar, but ultimately failed to form dominant network effects. Currently, the stablecoin market remains dominated by Tether and Circle, whose core advantages lie in strong network effects and instant liquidity. OpenUSD, however, may face a "cold start" problem, as its joint governance structure will severely slow down decision-making efficiency, making it prone to coordination failures under decentralized governance—resembling the governance dilemmas of DAO experiments: high collaboration costs, slow execution, and difficulty deploying capital efficiently.Furthermore, OpenUSD's economic model appears unsustainable for long-term operations. If it relies on a low-fee split mechanism, it will be unable to cover the costs of infrastructure, incentives, and market expansion.Lorenzo Valente concluded that OpenUSD resembles more of a "collection of letters of intent" than a unified product system with strong execution capabilities. He argued that in the long run, the more likely winners are single operators capable of rapid iteration and independent decision-making, rather than joint governance structures requiring multi-party consensus.

Cathie Wood: AI New Technologies Kick Off Productivity Cycle; Inflation Rebound Narrative Weakened by Macro Data

Odaily, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood released her latest market views on X, stating that a series of current macroeconomic data continues to dispel market concerns about a renewed rise in inflation. The US economy is entering a new upward cycle driven by technological productivity and will not repeat the stagflationary scenario of the 1970s. On the data front, US productivity growth is at 3%, unit labor costs at 0.5%, and Truflation's core CPI is near 1.3%. Multiple indicators confirm that inflationary pressures remain low. Even with strong employment data, short-term market pullbacks only reflect investor sensitivity to interest rates and macro risks. The current market is in a classic "climbing the wall of worry" phase, similar to the 1980s and 1990s, where innovation dividends support long-term asset appreciation.Cathie Wood points out that core technologies such as AI, robotics, autonomous driving, and multi-omics are still in their early stages of development. The productivity-enhancing effects have yet to be fully reflected in economic statistics. This is the early phase of a tech-driven expansion cycle, and technological innovation will dominate medium- to long-term economic growth.
