Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) holders have returned to profitability. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart posted on the X platform on Monday, stating that the rise in the New York market on Monday morning brought the average investor's cost basis for the ETF (approximately $81,700) back into the profit zone for the first time since January of this year. Despite last week's setback of key cryptocurrency legislation, the Clarity Act, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, Bitcoin still broke through $86,000, reaching a daily high of $86,800, and is currently reported at approximately $86,800, but still over 30% lower than the historical high of $126,000 set last year.In terms of capital flows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs managed by institutions such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and Morgan Stanley recorded a net inflow of over $6 million last week, with investors pouring nearly $593 million on Thursday and Friday alone. According to Coinglass data, these ETFs currently manage a total of $98.8 billion in assets.In the background, Bitcoin began to rise in August after the U.S. Treasury announced it would at least double the scale of long-term bond repurchases, achieving the best weekly performance since 2023. Subsequently, the price reached a historical high in October, but fell back at the end of the month due to the largest liquidation in cryptocurrency history (over $19 billion in positions were liquidated). Despite the Federal Reserve's hawkish turn, investors continued to flock to the so-called "currency devaluation trade," driving the price rebound.

CryptoQuant analyst CW8900 stated that Bitcoin is breaking through the bottom and starting a bullish trend. The spent output profit ratio (SOPR) of long-term holders (LTH) is rising above 1, and the market is shifting from a bearish phase to a neutral one, initiating a comprehensive upward trend.He emphasized that in this cycle, the SOPR has not yet exceeded 6, while historically, cycle tops usually form within this range. This means that long-term holders have not yet experienced a profit-taking phase, and a true bull market rally has not yet occurred. Everything prior has been a preparatory phase for the current upward trend, with LTH holdings at historically high levels and continuing to increase until recently. He believes that the real upward trend is starting now, and the cycle top will appear in the profit-taking range when the SOPR exceeds 6.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that this cycle may be the one with the most activity from long-term holders (LTH) of Bitcoin. He observed related changes through the CDD (Coin Days Destroyed) heatmap, which tracks the number of days BTC is held before being spent or transferred; the transfer of BTC by long-term holders is usually associated with selling intentions.The increase in LTH activity during this cycle may benefit from the market liquidity brought by spot ETFs and companies establishing Bitcoin treasury reserves. However, the rise in CDD is not only seen at market tops; it may also reflect the capitulation behavior of some holders.He added that Coinbase previously transferred 800,000 BTC, a large portion of which had been held for over 6 months. Such asset migrations can also cause a temporary rise in CDD, but they are considered incidental events. Currently, with Bitcoin's recent rise, LTH activity has slightly increased, possibly because some holders wish to realize quick profits; however, overall, related activities are still relatively calm for 2026, and long-term holders are still waiting.

The firm's head, John Hering, has a close relationship with Musk, having invested over $100 million in SpaceX shortly after the Falcon 9 rocket launch failure in 2016; since 2019, he has also been involved in the early business development of Starlink, including hiring personnel and building financial models, and has held a SpaceX employee badge. Currently, Hering serves as a director of The Boring Company, and Vy Capital also participated in the company's recent $3 billion financing round.Vy Capital's assets under management have increased from $27 billion at the end of last year to $50 billion in June of this year. In a letter to investors, the firm stated that since its establishment in 2014, it has achieved a total internal rate of return of 41% and has distributed $4.6 billion to investors. Vy Capital expects that if investment judgments materialize, SpaceX's valuation will exceed $10 trillion in the next 5 to 7 years. The firm currently has only a few dozen employees, with a core investment team of four, and has stopped accepting external investors since last year.

AMC CEO Adam Aron once again criticized Robinhood's stock token business in a post, raising several questions to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. Aron stated that stock tokens violate the fundamental concept of stock ownership and questioned why Robinhood continues to heavily promote stock tokens on its U.S. site when it cannot provide relevant products to U.S. users.Aron also questioned whether stock tokens might lead buyers to mistakenly believe they have the same rights as actual shareholders, as well as the 1:1 stock support mechanism: if some of the underlying real stocks used to support the stock tokens are simultaneously lent to short sellers, can the related tokens still be considered truly 1:1 supported? Aron further criticized Robinhood for conducting related business through a Jersey entity, stating that while stock tokens may represent innovation in Robinhood's view, in his view, "it will only bring shame to Robinhood."Yesterday, Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev published a lengthy article outlining Robinhood's vision of enabling global investors (especially non-U.S. users) to gain exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs through blockchain, and he focused on the question of whether issuers need to agree to the tokenization of stocks.

Pump.fun announced the launch of the "Holder Reward" mechanism and the cancellation of the Cashback model. From now on, when token creators issue new coins, they can choose between the standard "Creator Fee" model and the "Holder Reward" model.In the Holder Reward model, the relevant fees will be transferred to the Pump.fun distribution wallet, and the platform will automatically conduct multiple proportional distributions every hour. Users with a holding value exceeding 20 USD will receive rewards, with more holdings resulting in more rewards. Rewards are paid in the quoted token of the trading pair; for example, tokens paired with SOL will distribute rewards in SOL.Existing Cashback and Creator Fee model tokens can apply to be converted into Holder Reward tokens, and the conversion cannot be reversed. The SOL and USDC trading pairs will continue to use a tiered fee rate that decreases as market value increases; custom trading pairs can set a fixed rate between 0.01% and 3%, which cannot be modified once determined.

Creators can choose between creator fees or holder reward tokens. Existing tokens can apply for an irreversible switch, submitted by the team or community, with review criteria based on objective information beneficial to the token and community. Custom trading pairs must set a fixed fee rate of 0.01% to 3%, while SOL/USDC will continue to use the market cap tiered fee rate.Fees go into the Pump.fun distribution wallet, automatically distributed multiple times per hour based on holding proportions, with participation allowed for holdings over $20 in value. Protocol fees are the same across all types, and rewards are distributed in quoted tokens.
