According to TechCrunch, well-known investor Ashton Kutcher will leave the venture capital firm Sound Ventures, which he co-founded, and will co-found a new venture capital fund with former NFX partner Morgan Beller (who co-led Meta's Libra crypto project and served as a partner at a16z).It is reported that this departure is mainly due to differences in investment stage preferences. Sound Ventures tends to support more mature leading AI companies (such as OpenAI and Anthropic), while Kutcher's new fund will shift its strategic focus to underlying technologies, concentrating on early-stage investments in AI infrastructure, energy, and deep tech. The split is amicable, and Kutcher will continue to serve as an advisor to Sound Ventures in the future.

CryptoQuant CEO stated that the capital efficiency of Bitcoin is continuously declining------In 2011, a net inflow of only $5 million could double the price, while this cycle requires about $101 billion to achieve the same effect. He believes that the next parabolic bull market cycle may require net capital inflows on the order of trillions of dollars, and Bitcoin must transition from being dominated by retail-driven ETF trading to becoming a core macro asset. If Bitcoin's actual market value can exceed $1 trillion, the next bull market is still expected to occur, while the current market value of gold has reached $27 trillion, indicating significant growth potential in comparison.

According to DeFiLlama data, the recent net inflow ranking of centralized exchanges is as follows:Top three in the 24-hour dimension: Bybit ($25.48 million), Bitfinex ($19.63 million), Bitget ($17.12 million).Top three in the 7-day dimension: Bitget ($743 million), OKX ($312 million), Bitfinex ($81.46 million).Top three in the 30-day dimension: Bitfinex ($472 million), Bitget ($397 million), Gate ($253 million).

The cryptocurrency research institution Decentralised.co (DCo) recently released a report indicating that the core driving force of the Web3 industry is shifting from asset speculation to practical applications centered around stablecoins and asset tokenization. Data shows that last year, the global on-chain transaction volume of stablecoins reached $33 trillion, with particularly strong demand for digital dollars in emerging markets such as Latin America.The report points out that the improvement of infrastructure is driving transformations in several core areas. On one hand, the barriers to building new on-chain banks have significantly lowered, accelerating the implementation of business scenarios such as cross-border payroll; on the other hand, leading institutions like Kraken are actively integrating tokenized assets, promoting the globalization of trading traditional financial assets like U.S. stocks. Furthermore, as the proportion of AI agents in network traffic continues to rise, stablecoins are gradually becoming the underlying payment network for instant settlement, thereby giving rise to new service demands for agent payments and risk assessment.

According to Cointelegraph, Grant Cardone, the CEO of real estate investment company Cardone Capital, stated that Cardone Capital is increasing its Bitcoin holdings at the price level of $59,000, and currently holds more than 2,700 BTC.

According to GMGN market data, the market capitalization of the Solana ecosystem meme coin ANSEM once exceeded 140 million USD, reaching a historical high, and then fell back to about 127 million USD, with a daily increase of over 41%. The price of meme coins is highly volatile, mainly driven by market sentiment and conceptual speculation, lacking clear practical application scenarios, and investors should be aware of the associated risks.

According to CoinDesk, Wall Street broker Bernstein pointed out in a recent report that the rapid integration of the market technology stack is increasing the likelihood of a new round of mergers and acquisitions in the field of sports event contracts and financial markets.The report states that in the past eight months, major prediction platforms have been developing towards simultaneously controlling customer distribution and exchange infrastructure. Although Kalshi and Polymarket have core technology stacks, their distribution capabilities are relatively lagging, making them potential acquisition targets.Recent actions include DraftKings acquiring Railbird to launch DKeX, Robinhood collaborating with Susquehanna to create Rothera, and Coinbase acquiring The Clearing Company. Bernstein believes that Robinhood and Coinbase are currently in a relatively advantageous position in the competitive landscape, as both have large consumer user bases and fully owned regulated infrastructures, while Kalshi and Polymarket are viewed as potential acquisition targets due to their lack of large-scale distribution capabilities.

According to the 8-K document submitted to the SEC by Strategy, the company announced the launch of a digital credit capital framework, which includes five core components: dollar reserve policy, adjustment of STRC dividend policy, preferred stock repurchase plan, common stock repurchase plan, and BTC monetization plan.Under the dollar reserve policy, the reserve can only be used to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest, and management must maintain a reserve sufficient to cover expected dividends and interest expenses for at least the next 12 months. As of June 28, the dollar reserve balance was $2.55 billion.Regarding the STRC dividend, the company will dynamically assess the dividend rate on a monthly basis, considering factors such as trading price, market yield, credit spread, and Bitcoin price volatility, and will not increase the dividend solely because the STRC trading price is below par value. The company also announced an increase in the annualized dividend rate for STRC to 12% from the previous level, effective July 1.In terms of the repurchase plan, the company has established two repurchase authorizations of $1 billion each, to repurchase preferred stocks such as STRC, STRF, STRD, STRK, and Class A common stock, with STRC being the primary target of the preferred stock repurchase plan. Neither of the repurchase plans will utilize dollar reserve funds.In addition, the company's board of directors has authorized the BTC monetization plan, allowing the company to raise up to $1.25 billion by selling Bitcoin, to supplement the dollar reserve, pay preferred stock dividends and interest expenses, or fund the aforementioned repurchase plans.

According to a report by 21 Finance, Huang Zhenxin, the head of Kimi B-end at Moonshot AI, stated in a recent communication meeting that there is indeed a bubble in the current AI industry, but the fundamentals are very solid. Enterprises can now clearly calculate the return on investment (ROI), and the substantial transformation in productivity brought by AI has already occurred.Regarding the recent phenomenon of widespread price increases among model vendors, Huang Zhenxin pointed out that the core reason lies in the rising global computing power costs, and chip production capacity cannot meet the explosive growth in Token demand. He emphasized that evaluating the cost-performance ratio of models should not only look at the unit price of input and output but should also focus on the Cache hit rate. It is reported that Kimi's original factory Cache hit rate has reached over 90%, significantly reducing actual computing costs.In addition, Huang Zhenxin revealed that Kimi will continue to challenge innovations in underlying architecture to sustain the Scaling Law, and its Muon optimizer, which has been validated on a large scale, is now widely adopted by several mainstream large models in the industry. Regarding the "last mile" of enterprise AI implementation, he believes that as the foundational capabilities of models continue to strengthen, the technical paradigms at the application layer will also continue to simplify.

Binance founder CZ recently accepted an interview with CoinDesk, sharing his views on multiple topics. CZ attributes the 2026 crypto bear market to a combination of three factors: the shift of funds to the AI sector, geopolitical tensions, and the four-year cycle pattern.Regarding the strategy for Binance.US, CZ expressed a desire for the platform to access the liquidity of Binance Global to strengthen its competitiveness in the U.S. market. He also revealed that although his previous trip to Washington, D.C. was to clarify misunderstandings about himself and Binance, he believes that the violation of the Bank Secrecy Act has not harmed his business reputation. CZ clearly stated that he will not take the helm of a crypto trading platform again and prefers to participate in the operations of his investment companies in an informal advisory capacity.In terms of crypto regulatory legislation, negotiations on the U.S. "Clarity Act" are still ongoing, but core ethical clause disagreements remain unresolved, and any agreement requires the president's signature. The Senate has only 20 working days left before September 1, and the legislative window continues to narrow.

Grayscale Research's research director Zach Pandl stated that rather than raising the STRC preferred stock dividend yield by 50 basis points, it would be better to sell over $3 billion in Bitcoin to meet cash payment obligations and restore market confidence. As an institutional researcher, Zach Pandl publicly suggested that Strategy's sale of over $3 billion in BTC has certain indicative significance.If Strategy ultimately implements a large-scale sale, it will bring considerable selling pressure to the market and may weaken the narrative of companies continuously hoarding Bitcoin. This viewpoint also reflects market concerns about Strategy's capital structure and its heavy reliance on the sustainability of its Bitcoin balance sheet. Attention should be paid to Strategy's official response and whether there are actual Bitcoin transfers in its on-chain wallet.

According to official news, AI-assisted development of the Web3 infrastructure layer Canopy has completed a $8.5 million seed round financing, with participation from Arrington Capital, Fenbushi Capital, Borderless Capital, and SNZ Capital.The raised funds will be used to support its mainnet launch, expansion of the engineering team, and the development of native AI development tools.

According to official news, OpenAI has officially launched the preview version of the next-generation GPT-5.6 series models, including the flagship model Sol, the balanced model Terra, and the fast low-cost model Luna. GPT-5.6 introduces a brand new maximum reasoning effort and features a super strong mode that accelerates complex tasks through sub-agents.The flagship model Sol introduces the Ultra mode, which combines maximum reasoning intensity with sub-agent collaboration.
