The digital asset trading platform Gate announced that it will open the second phase of the Pre-IPOs project for OpenAI (OPENAI) from July 15, 2026, 15:00 to July 17, 15:00 (UTC+8), supporting participation in both USDT and GUSD. The total subscription value of the project is approximately 20 million USD, issuing 27,700 OPENAI asset certificates, priced at 1 OPENAI = 722 USD, with a minimum investment starting at 100 USDT or 100 GUSD, and waiving implied fees and custody costs. OpenAI, driven by products like ChatGPT, has promoted the development of generative AI and has received investments from Microsoft and others, with a market implied valuation of approximately 895 billion USD.The OPENAI asset certificates are mirror notes prior to the OpenAI IPO, used to map the company's value before and after going public; Gate will hedge exposure by acquiring relevant stocks and provide pre-market trading, long-term holding, and future paths for exchanging stock assets, stock tokens, or USDT. Distribution is calculated based on the "average locked amount per hour," with earlier participation and longer lock-up periods receiving higher weights; the certificates will unlock in three phases on July 17, August 17, and September 17, and pre-market trading will open on July 20.

Token Pocket's Chief Business Officer Michael stated that the mnemonic phrase of the Robinhood founder was leaked during a live broadcast. After hackers gained control of the address, they used that address and associated addresses to buy a large amount of the Meme coin at $1, prompting thousands of investors to follow suit, rapidly increasing the market value of the token from about $500,000 to $14 million in a short period.Subsequently, the price of the $1 token fell sharply, with a trading volume of about $20 million within just two hours. After the related addresses were frozen, the hackers quickly moved to the BNB Chain (BSC), using that address and its associated addresses to issue new tokens, and created trading hype through self-buying and selling, ultimately executing a sell-off to cash out. Robinhood's RPC has frozen that address, and nodes do not allow transactions sent from that address to be packaged, so transfers and trades cannot be conducted.

According to Cointelegraph, MidChains CEO Basil Al Askari stated that sovereign wealth funds are accumulating spot Bitcoin, indicating that the current price levels are attractive to institutional investors. Al Askari confirmed that at least one sovereign wealth fund has been accumulating Bitcoin, and a second one may join in the coming weeks. Global sovereign wealth funds control over $13 trillion in assets, and Al Askari mentioned that the current low price is seen as "an opportunity window for large funds to enter."

Crypto KOL Ansem reiterated the long-term investment logic of Bitcoin, stating that despite previously holding a bearish stance, the current price level presents a good buying opportunity. He pointed out that the core narrative of Bitcoin as the hardest currency remains unchanged—it's not subject to government seizure, can be transferred across borders instantly, and is not affected by the long-term depreciation of the dollar, making it an ideal vehicle for long-term wealth storage. The performance of gold outpacing Bitcoin between 2024 and 2025 temporarily undermined the "digital gold" narrative, but he believes that as long as price momentum rebounds, market confidence can be restored.On a macro level, Ansem believes that with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the expected easing of inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance may be nearing its peak, at which point both Waller and the Federal Reserve will have room to cut interest rates rather than continue raising them; the strength of the dollar and rising interest rates exert pressure on gold, but if profits from AI stocks flow into real estate, cash, and long-term value storage assets, both gold and Bitcoin will benefit; institutional investors like Paul Tudor Jones still show interest in Bitcoin.Previously, Ansem candidly admitted to being bearish on Bitcoin due to Saylor's (founder of Strategy) position risk, once believing that $60,000 would be hard to maintain, but he stated he is now responding to buy signals. He noted that the current price action has priced in the worst-case scenario of Saylor being forced to sell, and even if he truly needs to sell, it would not happen for at least six months. He concluded that Bitcoin is currently at the intersection of long-term historical support levels and the most pessimistic market sentiment he has observed, making entry at the beginning of Q3 a trading opportunity worth paying attention to.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," stated that despite the recent decline in gold and silver prices, he will not decide to buy or sell assets solely based on price, as he has made many mistakes in the past, one of which was allowing price to influence his investment judgments. He believes that more attention should be paid to the "environment" and macro background of the assets rather than short-term price fluctuations.Currently, the global economic management is performing poorly, which may lead to worsening problems. Therefore, he is focusing on the technical trends of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, and waiting to buy after the prices end their downward trend. The technical charts for gold and silver indicate that both may be in a phase before a significant rise, but investors should make their own judgments and not blindly trust others' opinions.

Coinbase's Head of Institutional Strategy, John D'Agostino, stated that despite Bitcoin recently dropping below $60,000, large investors such as family offices and sovereign wealth funds did not panic, but rather viewed the decline as a buying opportunity at a discount. He mentioned that these institutions were optimistic when Bitcoin was at $125,000, remained interested at $100,000, and "liked it even more" around $65,000. Bitcoin fell to $59,200 last Friday, marking its lowest point since October 2024, down about 50% from its peak of over $126,000 in October 2025.D'Agostino believes that institutional confidence remains strong, investments in related market infrastructure continue, and Bitcoin ETF holdings are resilient. Currently, Bitcoin ETF exposure is still around $100 billion, even though the price has nearly halved from its peak, with retail interest retracting by about 15%. He also downplayed concerns about large institutional leveraged positions being forced to liquidate, stating that he is not aware of any major institutional Bitcoin holders being in a "severely over-leveraged" state.

SpaceX plans to advance its initial public offering (IPO) next month. If successful, it will release an equity profit opportunity of approximately $20 billion to D1 Capital Partners, a Wall Street firm founded by Dan Sundheim. It is reported that this estimate is based on SpaceX's latest valuation assumptions, reflecting its high concentration in the private market and the potential floating profit space for institutional investors.

Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform that the vote on the Clarity Act is a significant opportunity to advance the U.S. financial system.Previously, Galaxy Digital stated that 7 Democratic senators on the Senate Banking Committee may play a key role in the advancement of the CLARITY Act; the bill will enter the committee review stage, and if passed, will be submitted for a full Senate vote.

According to Gelonghui, Buffett admitted in an interview that the current investment environment is not ideal, and the high market prices are one of the main reasons he is holding back. He also acknowledged that as he ages, the proportion of industries he can deeply understand is not as high as it was ten years ago—he no longer expects to have an advantage in areas where young people who have grown up with new technologies excel.Nevertheless, he emphasized that Berkshire has the ability to make quick decisions and can handle transactions of any size, but is just waiting for the right opportunity.Buffett stated that the most likely buying opportunity is when everyone else is not answering the phone. In his 60-year career, there may have only been five years that were truly "lucrative." He recalled the real Wall Street ecology during market crashes: everyone boasts about their excellent trading departments. But when the market crashes, good luck trying to reach them; they simply do not answer the phone. Even if they do answer, the quotes and asking prices come with various conditions, and the bid-ask spread is enormous.

Data shows that the market value of tokenized gold assets globally has surged significantly, with overall growth far exceeding that of the traditional physical gold market.Tim Hong, a prominent investor from the leading institution Helio Protocol, stated that with multiple core advantages such as security compliance, sound legal framework, asset transparency, on-chain traceability, and sufficient physical backing, the XAUT ecosystem continues to lead the entire sector, becoming the preferred digital gold investment choice for both institutional and individual investors.The dual combination of traditional gold's value foundation and blockchain's decentralized circulation attributes allows XAUT to break the limitations of traditional gold trading, achieving 24-hour free trading and efficient on-chain settlement. Recently, the silver ecosystem SILVER will also open to the global community.By seizing the opportunity to capture market dividends and coupled with a heavy metal insurance plan, XAUT's long-term value is steadily increasing, with vast growth potential in the future.

According to Jinshi reports, Andrew Slimon, a senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, stated that investors should prepare for a pullback in the U.S. stock market and act decisively when fear reaches its peak.He believes that the current strong corporate earnings are colliding with accumulated risks, and the stock market, especially the "Tech Seven Giants," has risen significantly, increasing the risk of further price increases. Slimon advises investors to remain patient, stating that now is not the best time to deploy new capital, but he still maintains a constructive outlook in the long term.

Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi stated on the X platform: "In the past, the wave of crypto VC and project disappearances had a core reason, which is that the financing funds were mostly consumed on: maintaining teams to develop useless web3 products. The biggest misconception is benchmarking against web2 products. Essentially, web3 is a financial industry and does not need to replicate web2 products. The most successful companies in the past crypto industry have all been financial products, from stablecoins and exchanges to successful companies in payments.Now that the AI era has arrived, first, there is no need for large financing to recruit teams, and second, AI + finance presents new opportunities. We believe that excellent founders with a few elites can achieve top-tier companies, which is currently the biggest opportunity in primary investment."

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that recently the focus has been on rebounds rather than reversals, so the key is where the rebound will go. It was originally expected to reach $85,000, but no one can pinpoint it accurately. The important thing is to take profits based on one's own expectations and risk control.From a trading and cyclical perspective, there may still be one major correction, which would be an excellent final buying opportunity. Currently, the triggering factors may be the pullback of U.S. stocks from historical highs, the decline of risk assets, and the uncontrollable oil prices. Terrifying inflation data could lead the Federal Reserve to abandon interest rate cuts and even consider raising rates. The outlook for investment is optimistic in the medium to long term, while managing risks in the short term.

According to The Block, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated in an interview with Reuters that there is a "huge opportunity" for the renminbi stablecoin. If Chinese authorities wish to enhance the global competitiveness of the renminbi, stablecoins will become an important technical means for currency internationalization, and he predicts that China may launch a renminbi stablecoin in the next 3 to 5 years.It is worth noting that the People's Bank of China and multiple departments have clearly prohibited the issuance of renminbi stablecoins abroad without regulatory approval as of February 2026. Meanwhile, the regulatory attitude in Hong Kong is completely opposite; the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued the first batch of stablecoin licenses to HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial (a joint venture of Standard Chartered Bank, Animoca Brands, and Hong Kong Telecom) last week.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that peace negotiations typically move from disagreement to consensus. The motivation for continued warfare among all parties is weakening under the current circumstances, and the conflict may gradually come to an end. "We still insist that the war will end; neither side has any reason to continue fighting. Waiting for a rebound without taking profits, the moment an agreement is reached will be a bullish signal."He pointed out that, from a medium to long-term perspective, the market is generally waiting for a potential large-scale financial crisis. There are signs of defensive positioning on the funding side, such as large capital holding a high proportion of cash and sovereign entities increasing their gold holdings. In this context, if a crisis occurs again, it will be a key moment to test whether Bitcoin possesses the attributes of a safe-haven asset, and it may also present significant opportunities for low-position allocations.In addition, Yi Lihua believes that AI technology is bringing a new round of opportunities for outstanding entrepreneurs. A small number of teams can create global products, reducing financing and organizational management costs. Especially experienced serial entrepreneurs should seize this "AI Age of Exploration."

Crypto analyst Ali published a lengthy analysis on the X platform, pointing out that rather than debating whether Bitcoin has bottomed out, it is better to focus on whether the current volatility constitutes a "generational entry opportunity." Based on indicators such as long-term trend lines, on-chain liquidity, and cost distribution, the core "value range" of this cycle is defined.In terms of support, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows that there is a significant concentration of chips in the range of approximately $63,111 to $70,685, forming the current main support zone; if it falls below $63,111, the market may enter a liquidity vacuum. From a long-term trend perspective, Bitcoin is approaching the key upward trend line of the past decade (approximately $56,000 to $60,000), which historically has often corresponded to accumulation phases before major upward movements.

Former Google quantum hardware chief and 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics winner John Martinis warned that Bitcoin could become one of the first real targets for quantum computing attacks. He stated that recent research from Google shows that advanced quantum computers could derive Bitcoin private keys in a matter of minutes, significantly lowering the computational security barriers that the network currently relies on.Since Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography and the network upgrades slowly and is decentralized, this makes the quantum threat harder to address than in traditional financial systems. The public key exposure window when broadcasting Bitcoin transactions could be exploited by quantum computers to intercept funds before the transaction is finally confirmed. John Martinis emphasized that while building such quantum computers remains an extremely challenging engineering task, the community should not be complacent and should plan for quantum-resistant upgrades as soon as possible, anticipating that related threats will gradually emerge within 5 to 10 years.
