Cantor Fitzgerald: Bullish on MSTR and BTC Correlation Recovery, STRC Key to Restarting Capital Engine
Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald stated that the key to Strategy restarting its capital expansion cycle lies in restoring its preferred stock STRC back to the $100 par value level. The bank pointed out that repairing the STRC price is a core prerequisite for restarting the company's Bitcoin accumulation "capital engine" and will help stabilize the overall capital structure.After a meeting with Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, Cantor Fitzgerald expressed increased confidence in management's plans to stabilize the balance sheet and restore financing capabilities. In the current market, STRC is trading at approximately $87.79, Strategy's stock price fell 3.4% to $97.34, while Bitcoin is trading around $61,800.Cantor believes that STRC is the foundational tool of Strategy's financing system, and its repair will drive benefits for both preferred and common shares, further enhancing the company's ability to continue accumulating Bitcoin. Currently, Strategy has raised approximately $216 million through Bitcoin sales to fund preferred stock dividends and is expected to continue increasing its cash reserves to support dividend stability.

Cantor Fitzgerald: Bitcoin Bear Market May Be Nearing the End, Expected to Bottom Out Around October
According to CoinDesk, Wall Street bank Cantor Fitzgerald issued a research report indicating that the crypto market is entering the final phase of the current bear cycle. As of June 10, Bitcoin has declined approximately 51% from its 2025 peak, with 252 days having passed since the peak. Synthesizing the past three market cycles, BTC bottoms on average 384 days after the peak; based on this, the low point of this cycle is projected to appear around the end of October. Analysts also noted that the model is not a precise timing tool, and macro, regulatory, and geopolitical risks remain. Regarding network value assessment, Cantor believes Hyperliquid is the prime example of fee-driven token economics, Bitcoin remains the benchmark monetary asset, and Ethereum serves as the primary collateral layer for on-chain finance; Solana, Sui, XRP, and Zcash each possess differentiated advantages, but still need to prove that their ecosystem growth can translate into sustained token demand.

Additionally, the senators expressed concerns over Tether’s past compliance record and its lobbying activities during the legislative process of the GENIUS Act, emphasizing the need to ensure that politically connected crypto stakeholders do not receive special treatment.

Analysis: Robinhood and Coinbase May Become the Biggest Beneficiaries of the Prediction Market Boom
Odaily News Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its latest report that with the rapid rise of prediction markets, Robinhood and Coinbase are poised to become major beneficiaries in this sector, leveraging their massive retail user base and mature trading infrastructure. Although leading platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket remain private companies, Robinhood and Coinbase have already begun entering this market by integrating event-driven trading within their applications.Cantor noted that prediction markets allow users to trade contracts based on real-world events such as elections and economic data, with prices reflecting the crowd's probability judgments. This model is similar to stock and crypto trading platforms, primarily generating revenue through trading activity fees. Among them, Robinhood's prediction market product, launched after the US election, has grown rapidly and has become one of its fastest-growing revenue streams; Coinbase is gradually opening related features to users by integrating Kalshi's infrastructure.The report believes that prediction markets not only have retail trading potential but may also play a role in institutional hedging and macro forecasting in the future. However, regulation remains the biggest uncertainty, as its legal status is still debated between being classified as a derivative or gambling. (CoinDesk)

Republican Party leaders pressured Lutnick to withdraw the $1.75 million support from the crypto PAC for Texas primaries.
According to Axios, Fellowship PAC—a cryptocurrency-focused super political action committee funded by Howard Lutnick’s former firm Cantor Fitzgerald—disclosed in its Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing plans to spend $1.75 million supporting Ken Paxton in the Texas primary runoff.

Republican leaders are concerned that the expenditure could interfere in a sensitive intra-party primary—Donald Trump has yet to publicly endorse either Paxton or Senator John Cornyn.
