Odaily News, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said at the company's Q2 earnings call that while the company has previously allocated nearly "100% of its funds to Bitcoin," it may adopt a combined strategy of holding both cash and BTC going forward. He stated, "Perhaps the best way to buy the most Bitcoin is not to buy the most Bitcoin immediately."TD Cowen and Benchmark both maintained their Buy ratings on Strategy following the Q2 earnings call. The two firms believe that the core goal of the company's current management has shifted toward bringing its STRC preferred stock price back to near par value, thereby restoring its ability to function as a financing tool.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza said the most important takeaway from the call was management's strong focus on STRC. Company executives repeatedly emphasized that restoring STRC to par value is the core objective, and noted that despite recent price deviations in the security, institutional adoption continues to rise.Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer holds a similar view. He pointed out that Saylor and his team spent most of the 90-minute call focused on the same goal: restoring STRC to the $99–$100 range, making it once again the primary engine for the company to raise capital and purchase Bitcoin.
the whale "First Set Ten Big Goals" posted on platform X, stating that after closing their short position, they quickly re-established a long position because their medium-to-long-term outlook has not changed. They believe the key demarcation zone of the previous bull market was around $60,000, and currently, the mainstream mining cost for Bitcoin is roughly concentrated in the $50,000 to $60,000 range. Last month, Bitcoin quickly recovered after dipping to a low of $58,000, validating the support level in this area. They believe that, barring systemic risks or major fundamental changes, the risk-reward ratio of continuing to short at the current level is not favorable. After Bitcoin completed its consolidation and hand-changing in the $58,000 to $63,000 range, it finished its correction and firmly re-established support around $66,000. The market now has the conditions for further upward movement, and they do not rule out the possibility of a strong bullish candle pushing Bitcoin past $72,000.They also stated that the current valuation of the US stock market, especially the AI-related sectors, is relatively high, which could lead to increased volatility in the future. Furthermore, the correlation between Bitcoin and US stocks has significantly decreased compared to previous cycles. With continued institutional capital inflows and the strengthening of Bitcoin's asset attributes, Bitcoin is gradually forging its own independent market trend..
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the UK's His Majesty's Treasury have issued a joint statement and recommendations as part of the "Transatlantic Working Group for Future Markets." The working group recommends that the Bank of England, the FCA, along with the U.S. CFTC and SEC, develop regulatory frameworks for tokenized assets while requiring the FCA and SEC to explore measures to facilitate cross-border financing. In terms of specific recommendations, both the U.S. and UK propose: supporting the development of stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and similar digital assets; promoting market competition and innovation; and establishing higher standards for asset custody, reserve segregation, and consumer protection.

Odaily, Tobias Adrian, Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated that as assets migrate to shared digital ledgers, policy choices regarding the monetary system, market infrastructure, and legal frameworks will determine whether tokenization strengthens the integration of the financial system or leads to further fragmentation.The tokenized economy is forming three types of settlement assets: tokenized bank deposits, stablecoins, and tokenized central bank reserves. Tokenization is not just about faster payments or programmable assets; it involves migrating financial assets and liabilities to a unified ledger, compressing execution, clearing, and settlement into a synchronized process driven by software. This shift may also transfer risks from the balance sheets of traditional intermediaries to platforms, code, and infrastructure providers. (The Block)
According to Crypto in America, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the National Sheriffs’ Association jointly sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, expressing strong opposition to Section 604 of the “Clarity Act”—the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). Law enforcement groups argue that this provision could create regulatory loopholes exploitable by criminals for illicit activities including drug trafficking, fraud, child exploitation, sanctions evasion, and terrorist financing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency-backed candidates achieved sweeping victories in primary elections across Maryland, New York, and Utah. Fairshake—a pro-crypto super PAC—has collectively spent over $7.6 million supporting these candidates, including $5.5 million backing Adrian Boafo, the candidate for Maryland’s 5th congressional district. Miller Whitehouse-Levine, founder of the Solana Policy Institute, warned that August 7, 2026, may be the final window for Congress to pass cryptocurrency market structure legislation. He stated that the industry is willing to make limited revisions to the BRCA provisions to address law enforcement concerns—but firmly opposes any fundamental changes that would weaken the core protections enshrined in the provision. Additionally, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on “The Future of Payments” the same day.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Lee Chan-jin, Governor of Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), stated at a press briefing on June 22 that the launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs tracking Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix had yielded poor results and generated excessive side effects—causing him deep personal regret—and acknowledged that the policy had effectively failed. He pointed out that the extremely high trading turnover rates of these products enabled securities firms to collect massive commissions while delivering no substantive returns to investors; the highest turnover rate approached 200%, allowing securities firms to earn up to 10 trillion Korean won in transaction fees. Meanwhile, he expressed serious concern over the ongoing expansion of leveraged investment in the market and the extreme concentration of trading in semiconductor stocks, emphasizing that the FSS would consult with relevant policy authorities to introduce, in phases, safeguards targeting margin financing. Additionally, regarding Future Asset Securities’ zero-allocation policy for the SpaceX public stock offering, he remarked it was “difficult to understand.” The FSS has launched an on-site inspection of Korea Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., and will conduct a compliance review of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd.
Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder of Mysten Labs—the development team behind Sui—shared Sui’s future roadmap in a recent post. According to the article, Sui’s long-term goal is to build foundational blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting global value flow over the next decade—enabling efficient payments, financial asset transfers, and transactions between machines and AI agents—all on a single network. The team emphasized that this vision stems from its core principle: “making value flow as freely as information.” Sui will continuously iterate its underlying architecture and protocol design to realize this objective. Technically, Sui leverages an object-centric model, horizontally scalable architecture, and native parallel execution to achieve high throughput, low latency, and composability within a single network—while also facilitating the onboarding of stablecoins, real-world assets, and institutional-grade financial products. Additionally, the project introduces privacy-preserving transactions, gasless transfers, and yield-bearing asset mechanisms to reduce usage costs and enhance financial accessibility. The article states that the future financial system will progressively migrate onto public-chain infrastructure—from individual payments to institutional capital markets—achieving full digitization and further extending into AI-driven automated transaction scenarios. The team describes its mission as building a unified global value network, evolving fund flows toward an instant, low-cost, “messaging-style” paradigm.
“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity posted a summary of the regional market style differences observed on X:1. USA: Bullish on all “futuristic” narratives, such as targets like $SPCX. Less sensitive to valuations, more focused on potential and imagination.2. Europe: From SIVE to SOI, attention to AI infrastructure construction is relatively weak. The time frame leans toward performance over the past 12 months (specifically noting that Belgium has performed decently, while observing France and Sweden).3. South Korea: High-leverage “Degen” style with extremely volatile markets, similar to the intense fluctuation structure of “50x Hyperliquid traders entering the stock market.”4. Japan: Generally mild and supportive, with fewer aggressive short-selling or bearish expressions.Serenity added that data on other regions such as Latin America is still insufficient, but observations will continue in the future.
Odaily Odaily notes that Stephen Davies, founder and CEO of Javelin Wealth Management, stated that the current market’s investment enthusiasm for SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI has significantly outpaced their fundamentals. The valuations of these companies have already priced in a substantial amount of future growth expectations. While artificial intelligence has real-world applications and long-term value, the market still needs clearer verification of profitability. Without stable proof of earnings, the valuation expansion of AI-related assets carries the risk of excessive optimism.Regarding SpaceX, Stephen Davies believes the company still needs to establish a stronger track record of commercialization and market performance before it can become a core allocation in his portfolio. Overall, the current valuation levels of some high-growth tech assets have entered a "somewhat extreme" range, and investors should pay more attention to actual earnings support. (CNBC)
SpaceX is progressing with its IPO and seeking a valuation of approximately $1.78 trillion. If realized, it would become the world's seventh-largest company by market cap. However, the mid-to-long-term business path justifying this valuation remains unclear.Furthermore, SpaceX's core narrative is shifting. In February of this year, Musk integrated SpaceX with xAI, making artificial intelligence a key component of the company's strategy. Compared to the original core vision of "making humanity a multi-planetary species," AI now occupies a more prominent position in the company's narrative. In the first quarter, xAI-related business reportedly accounted for over three-quarters of capital expenditures, while approximately 93% of the total addressable market mentioned in the IPO filing is also related to AI.Musk has long been adept at restructuring business narratives to align with market preferences, as seen in previous cases like integrating SolarCity into Tesla and merging Twitter with the xAI ecosystem. SpaceX's new narrative combines rocket launches with AI, envisioning the deployment of AI data centers in orbit to build future computing infrastructure. However, SpaceX launched approximately 2,200 tons of payload into orbit last year, while Musk has suggested that realizing the orbital data center vision would require an annual launch capacity of about 1 million tons. Although Starlink and the rocket business already hold industry-leading positions, genuine cash flow will ultimately be needed to validate this massive valuation hypothesis. (Financial Times)
At the Q1 2026 earnings call, Michael Saylor stated that the company may sell some of its Bitcoin in the future to fulfill dividend payment obligations. Currently, Strategy’s annual dividend and debt interest obligations total approximately $1.5 billion; based on its current U.S. dollar reserves, this amount is estimated to cover roughly the next 18 months. Saylor summarized this model as: “Buy Bitcoin using credit financing, wait for its appreciation, then sell a portion of the Bitcoin to pay dividends.”
According to The Block, the cryptocurrency venture capital sector is undergoing a structural shift. Investors now broadly require startups to demonstrate real users and revenue before committing capital—marking the end of the era when early-stage fundraising was easy. Token-based exit strategies have become significantly less reliable; low-liquidity, high-valuation token launches continue to underperform the broader market, prompting investors to revert to traditional equity-oriented thinking. Meanwhile, the rise of the AI sector has siphoned off substantial LP capital and entrepreneurial talent, further intensifying fundraising challenges for crypto VCs. Nonetheless, several investors note that reduced competition, more rational valuations, and an improving regulatory environment point to 2026–2027 as the strongest investment years since 2018. Future capital will focus on areas with clear business models—including stablecoins, payments, tokenization, real-world assets (RWAs), and financial infrastructure—while the boundaries between crypto VCs and traditional VCs accelerate toward convergence.
