The Situational Awareness fund, managed by "AI Stock God" Leopold Aschenbrenner, accumulated a gain of 439% before June 2026. However, it suffered severe setbacks during the AI sector sell-off in July. The fund is currently communicating with existing investors and lenders to seek new capital and is offering some LPs the opportunity to purchase assets from its portfolio.Sources say this capital discussion appears more like an ad-hoc response than an organized new fundraising round. The fund had previously used leverage through prime brokers at several major investment banks to amplify its AI trading exposure, turning market drawdowns further into funding pressure.In a letter to investors on July 24, Aschenbrenner acknowledged that the fund failed to avoid this market shock, noting that Asian markets were particularly affected. However, he believes this sell-off could present the best buying opportunity since early 2025. He plans to open a window for new capital on August 1st and views Anthropic's potential IPO as a catalyst for the second half of the year.According to disclosures, some holdings saw significant declines in July. Oracle and AMD fell approximately 20% for the month, while Nebius, Saronic AI, Bloom Energy, Sandisk, and others saw even larger drops. The Nasdaq 100 index fell about 10% in July, and South Korea's Kospi index dropped by roughly one-third.Currently, lacking specific data on the fund's exact drawdown magnitude, it is difficult to determine whether this fundraising is a passive capital injection driven by leverage pressure or an active move to increase positions for an opportunity. However, market trends suggest it is closer to the former. If forced selling occurs, the deleveraging process could also create discount opportunities in assets whose fundamentals haven't materially changed.

Odaily Odaily previously announced that it will shut down the Hyperliquid ecosystem project Ventuals posted on X, stating that Ventuals' commodities and indices markets are now frozen. The Mark Price and Oracle Price for each market have been set based on data from external exchanges to the closing prices of today's regular trading session, and the funding rate has been set to 0. All markets will suspend trading for the remainder of the day, and the PNL of all positions will be automatically settled at the final mark price. If users currently hold open positions, no action is required; the system will automatically settle for you.Additionally, Ventuals advises all vHYPE holders to initiate withdrawals as soon as possible (if not already done). 100% of vHYPE holders can expect to exchange their tokens back for HYPE at a 1:1 ratio, along with all native staking rewards accrued since deposit. All initiated withdrawals will begin batch processing at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on June 19, and batch processing will continue every 24 to 72 hours thereafter. Once the withdrawal request is processed, it will become claimable after 7.5 days (including Hyperliquid's native 7-day standard unstaking period and a 12-hour cooldown period).Previously, Ventuals announced the closure of its business and will be integrated into another team within the Hyperliquid ecosystem; specific details have not been disclosed yet.
据 QCP Capital 于 6 月 10 日发布的市场报告，当前跨资产抛售由多重因素共振驱动：一是地缘政治层面，美伊军事冲突升级、霍尔木兹海峡通行前景不明，市场同步定价军事风险与能源中断风险；二是宏观层面，上周强于预期的非农数据重燃通胀担忧，市场对美联储 2026 年加息概率的预期明显上升，当日发布的 CPI 数据（市场预期 headline 通胀高于 4.2%）成为最大宏观变量，若再度超预期将进一步强化鹰派路径；三是 AI 交易层面，Oracle 财报面临高预期与低容错的双重压力，Broadcom 上周的市场反应已发出警示，任何前瞻指引或利润率的失望均可能拖累股市。加密市场与上述风险情绪高度联动，在 CPI 与 Oracle 财报落地前，市场料将维持脆弱、对消息面高度敏感的状态。
On-chain data shows that the whale Evaded made over $1.77 million in profits after closing short positions on Bitcoin and Ethereum, then shifted the funds to long positions in tech stocks.
According to CoinTelegraph, eToro’s latest data shows that during the sharp decline in AI and tech stocks in Q1 2026, investors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) bucked the trend by increasing their positions—particularly in AI infrastructure and software stocks such as ServiceNow (+125%), Super Micro Computer (+65%), Adobe (+54%), and Oracle (+38%). Regarding crypto-related equities, Strategy Inc. remained the eighth-largest holding, reflecting investors’ continued exposure to crypto assets. Deutsche Bank’s report dated April 13 noted that this conflict is more likely to strengthen—not weaken—Gulf-region demand for AI, cybersecurity, and sovereign digital infrastructure.
