Standard Chartered: Uniswap Token UNI Could Rise to $100 by 2030
Standard Chartered Bank has initiated coverage on the decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap, predicting its UNI token could rise from its current price of approximately $2.70 to $100 by the end of 2030, representing a gain of nearly 40 times.Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, stated that the next wave of wealth creation opportunities in the digital asset space may come from DeFi protocols. The core logic is that the scale of tokenized assets entering DeFi will grow significantly, thereby enhancing the trading asset base and fee potential for protocols like Uniswap.Standard Chartered estimates that tokenized assets on-chain will grow from approximately $340 billion today to $4 trillion by the end of 2028. Of this, the proportion flowing into DeFi is expected to rise from roughly 3.5% currently to 30% by the end of 2030. Combined with the growth of crypto-native assets, the total value locked in DeFi could reach approximately $2.7 trillion, an increase of about 37 times compared to today.Kendrick believes that if Uniswap can successfully commercialize and establish sufficient partnerships with traditional financial institutions, its valuation multiple relative to trading fees could improve, narrowing the gap with centralized exchanges like Coinbase.Standard Chartered's projected price path for UNI is: $6.50 by the end of 2026, $20 by the end of 2027, $40 by the end of 2028, $65 by the end of 2029, and $100 by the end of 2030. The bank also expects UNI to potentially outperform ETH and BTC during this period.

Delphi Digital Analyzes Marginal Changes in Strategy’s Bitcoin Financing Model, STRC Becomes Key Expansion Engine but Risks Rise Concurrently
crypto research institution Delphi Digital has released its latest report, "How Far Can Saylor Stretch It," providing a systematic analysis of Strategy's Bitcoin (BTC) capital expansion mechanism. It indicates that the company's financing structure is transitioning from a phase of "low-cost accumulation" into one of "diminishing marginal efficiency."The report shows that within the current asset accumulation system centered on Bitcoin, STRC has become the core financing tool for Strategy's continued BTC purchases. Initially, the company relied on a significant premium in MSTR's stock price (with mNAV far exceeding BTC's net asset value) to create a positive cycle where "issuing shares meant increasing holdings." However, as valuations have receded to approximately 1.24 times the base mNAV of enterprise value, the BTC-per-share accretion effect from common stock issuance is approaching a break-even point.Meanwhile, while convertible bonds have played a crucial role historically, they have accumulated a principal of approximately $8.2 billion and face concentrated repayment pressure after September 2027, putting long-term strain on the sustainability of the financing structure.STRC provides Strategy with a continuous source of financing—used to maintain its BTC buying pace—by offering yield-seeking investors an approximately 11.5% annualized monthly dividend. However, this mechanism also introduces ongoing cash flow obligations, meaning that each round of financing simultaneously builds future dividend burdens while increasing BTC assets.The report emphasizes a key risk scenario: if BTC's price remains stagnant and MSTR's premium fails to recover, the "gains from STRC-financed coin purchases" could be progressively offset by "common stock dilution and dividend obligations." Although the company's approximately $2.25 billion cash reserve can cover its roughly $1 billion redemption pressure in 2027, its larger debt and dividend structure in 2028 remains unresolved.Furthermore, STRC's current authorized issuance limit of approximately $28.3 billion serves as a critical constraint. Once this limit is reached, the capacity for new BTC purchases may slow, yet existing dividend obligations will persist—thereby altering the overall dynamic growth trajectory of BTC per share.
Mining Companies Transition from Bitcoin Mining to AI, Keel and Hive Stock Prices Rise

The stock prices of the two companies have risen by over 40% and 31% respectively in the past month. Additionally, Core Scientific announced plans to issue $3.3 billion in high-yield bonds to fund its transition to AI infrastructure.
ArthurHayes: Liquidity, Not Regulatory Support, Is the Core Driver of Bitcoin's Rise
: Arthur Hayes stated at the Consensus 2026 conference that the crypto industry is not reliant on regulation for development. The core factors affecting Bitcoin's price are only technological reliability and fiat liquidity, with the latter being the true driving force.He pointed out that from the quantitative easing of the Obama era, the fiscal stimulus during Trump's first term, to the Biden administration releasing reverse repo liquidity by replacing long-term bonds with short-term debt, each round of monetary expansion has been highly correlated with Bitcoin's rise. Arthur Hayes believes that although the Trump administration has pushed forward multiple crypto regulatory bills, Bitcoin has still fallen by about 25% over the past approximately 18 months, indicating that positive regulatory developments do not directly drive price increases.He also stated that the Trump family's previous experiences with debanking, asset freezes, and lawsuits may make them more appreciative of Bitcoin's value as an asset free from state control. Arthur Hayes said that if Bitcoin eventually evolves into a common financial product on bank balance sheets, it will lose its original significance.
Forbes: BTC Expectations for Return to $80,000 Rise as SEC Chair's Comments at Bitcoin 2026 Conference Draw Attention
: US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins recently reiterated the push for "Project Crypto" and announced plans to jointly develop a digital asset classification framework with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This framework will clarify when a token is deemed a security, while also introducing an "innovation exemption" to support the on-chain trading of tokenized securities.The market believes that the series of initiatives pushed by Paul Atkins represent one of the most aggressive shifts in crypto regulation in SEC history, marking a formal abandonment of the old “regulation by enforcement” model in favor of clear rule-making. This move could release a stronger entry signal for institutional capital that has been on the sidelines, potentially driving Bitcoin's price back above $80,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $77,586. The market is now focused on Atkins's further statements at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in late April. (Forbes)
Caixin: Polymarket’s use of USDC for settlement and delivery poses a significant legal risk to participants within China.
According to an article published by Caixin titled “Financial Innovation or Insider Trading? The Rise and Controversy of Polymarket,” when insider information can be openly monetized, the boundary of prediction markets has already become blurred—raising questions about whether such markets are merely “gambling” disguised as finance, or even涉嫌 insider trading. Yet regardless of the legal debate over whether such activities constitute gambling, the fact that Polymarket uses the USDC stablecoin for settlement and delivery itself poses a significant legal risk for participants within China. Previously, U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Amy Klobuchar introduced the “End Prediction Market Corruption Act,” which prohibits the President, Vice President, and members of Congress from trading on prediction markets and requires that the prediction market trading activities of their spouses and dependents be included in annual financial disclosures.
Tom Lee: Bitmine Could Be Added to Russell 1000 Index, Passive Capital Allocation Expectations Rise
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated in a post on platform X that FTSE Russell has announced the preliminary list of index additions and deletions, and BitMine Immersion Technologies (ticker: BMNR) has been included in the list of companies under consideration for inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index.Tom Lee noted that Bitmine's current market capitalization has already exceeded the $5.7 billion threshold for inclusion in the Russell 1000 large-cap index. Since many active fund managers only invest in Russell 1000 components, if BMNR is officially added to the index, it could attract more institutional capital attention.Additionally, the market generally expects that approximately 20% to 25% of a stock's market capitalization is typically held by passive index funds and ETFs, meaning that eligibility for the Russell 1000 may further increase expectations for related passive capital inflows.

Opinion: The Correlation Between the Crypto Market and US Stocks May Continue to Rise
Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, posted on X platform that as the market rebounds, BTC's GEX is concentrated at $60,000. The previously scattered GEX combination has become concentrated, primarily dominated by current-week and current-month options. The biggest macro event this week is SpaceX's listing on June 12. As the world's largest IPO, the liquidity impact on US stocks is worth watching.Recently, US stock market volatility has been high, exerting significant pressure on cryptocurrencies. A large number of crypto market investors have recently flooded into the US stock market, and the correlation between the crypto market and the US stock market may continue to increase. The IV for options expiring this week has risen significantly, and the proportion of block trades has also continued to increase. Investors are positioning for near-term defense, and there is strong demand for short-term call options.
Federal Reserve Beige Book: Prices Rise at a Moderate to Strong Pace, with Middle East Conflict-Related Pressures as the Main Driver
According to the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book, overall, prices rose at a moderate to strong pace, with most districts reporting a higher rate of inflation than in the previous report. Districts noted that energy costs related to the Middle East conflict were the main driver of inflationary pressures, with effects spilling over into shipping, packaging, groceries, and fertilizers. Non-labor costs continued to rise faster than selling prices, raising broader concerns about margin compression. The ability of businesses to pass on higher costs varied across industries, particularly among consumer-facing companies. Some districts noted that firms in several areas have adopted strategies to cope with inflation, including supply chain optimization, product adjustments, reducing supply, and temporarily absorbing higher costs to maintain customer demand.

Analysis: BTC Falls Below Key Option GEX Zone But Implied Volatility Does Not Rise, No Significant Market Panic
Odaily News According to Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, who posted on platform X, Bitcoin has fallen below the dense Gamma Exposure (GEX) zone of options, with subsequent resistance from upper-level positions gradually weakening. Ethereum (ETH) has also broken below its GEX concentration zone near $2,000, weakening its short-term structural support.Although the BTC price has entered a relatively sensitive area, the Implied Volatility (IV) has not risen significantly. The IV across all tenors remains below 40%, with longer-dated tenors continuing to decline. The three consecutive days of decline have also failed to effectively push up short-term IV, indicating that the market has not yet priced in significant panic.Currently, the implied probability for options expiring in May is approximately 20%. Tomorrow's monthly settlement is expected to significantly reshape the current option position structure. Overall, the market is still monitoring the effectiveness of key support levels, and the demand from large position holders to hedge against the risk of further breakdowns has not materially increased.
