Reality will provide exposure to tokenized stock assets, while Keyring will be responsible for developing the index methodology and building the related lending market. The index aims to capture funding rate and basis yield opportunities by combining rToken holdings with hedged positions in corresponding stock perpetual contracts, providing a new strategic pathway for the application of tokenized stocks in onchain financial scenarios.

These leases cover data centers, colocation facilities, and some network infrastructure, with leases scheduled to begin from the remainder of this year through 2036, with terms ranging from over one year to 30 years.This figure represents an increase of about 53% compared to the $182.88 billion in future leasing obligations Meta disclosed in its first-quarter filing three months ago.

Crypto KOL Phyrex published a systematic analysis of rToken issued by Reality under Bitget, arguing that rToken should not be merely understood as "tokenized stocks." Its core value lies in achieving asset composability upon integration with a unified account, breaking the limitations of RWA liquidity silos. Phyrex provided an in-depth breakdown of three directly implementable trading strategies: amplifying US stock directional exposure, Delta Neutral arbitrage, and staking-borrowing loops. For institutions, the core value of rToken lies in three major mechanisms: direct order connection to the US stock order book to eliminate de-pegging risk, UTA unified account cross-margining to improve asset efficiency, and weekend collateral valuation pegged to Friday's closing price to ensure controllable risk. This ultimately enables managing Crypto, stock tokens, and derivative positions within a single account, reducing costs associated with multi-platform rebalancing and fund transfers.

Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
Arthur Hayes 在 X 平台发文表示,他已清仓全部 HYPE 和 NEAR 持仓,并将在下周二发布的文章“Reality Test”中解释原因。Arthur Hayes 称,伊朗战争和库存补充将推高能源价格;当前至第三季度初之间将有 3 家大型 AI 企业 IPO;预测特朗普将为帮助共和党赢得中期选举而转向反 AI;其认为市场高点将在当前至 9 月之间出现;现在是止盈的时候,可以在无需担心持仓的情况下抽身。
