first_img Analysis: Cryptocurrencies lack verifiable return stories and are continuously losing to AI in the competition for institutional capital

According to research by CointelegraphMT, traditional financial markets are absorbing institutional capital at a pace that cryptocurrencies find hard to match by 2026. The main reason is that AI has clear and measurable returns, while cryptocurrencies currently lack a similar narrative.Data shows that the S&P 500 index rose only 3.5% after excluding AI stocks in 2026, while AI-related indices saw an increase of nearly 50%. The five major tech companies in the U.S. are expected to reach $72.5 billion in capital expenditures for AI infrastructure this year, with Nvidia's quarterly revenue reaching $81.6 billion.The research points out that AI spending can be directly validated through revenue, capital expenditures, and profit margins, while the value proposition of cryptocurrencies is difficult to quantify for traditional allocators. Currently, while the supply of stablecoins is at a historical high, more funds are flowing into tokenized government bonds rather than risk assets.Additionally, in May, the net outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs was $2.3 billion, marking the worst single month of the year. However, long-term holders continue to buy in the over-the-counter market, with market makers like Wintermute reporting stable buying around $72,000. The research concludes that unless cryptocurrencies can provide a measurable and repeatable institutional-level return story similar to AI, they will be at a significant disadvantage in competing for the same institutional funds.

Gate Ventures: The cryptocurrency market has entered a phase of adjustment, with stablecoin payments and infrastructure development continuing to advance

According to the latest weekly report from Gate Ventures, the market has shown a significant cooling of risk appetite under the influence of strong economic data and ongoing inflationary pressures, with global growth assets generally under pressure.The cryptocurrency market has also pulled back, with BTC down 14.4% for the week and ETH down 15.7%. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has decreased by 12.5%, and market sentiment has dropped to the "extreme fear" range. In terms of capital flow, the spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of $1.72 billion in a single week, setting a record for the largest weekly outflow in history; the spot ETH ETF experienced a net outflow of $168.2 million during the same period, indicating that institutional funds are becoming more cautious in the short term.In terms of industry development, Mastercard announced the expansion of stablecoin settlement applications in its global payment network, supporting various compliant stablecoins for round-the-clock settlements in payment scenarios, further promoting the integration of stablecoins into mainstream financial infrastructure.In terms of investment and financing, three financing transactions were disclosed last week, with the infrastructure sector continuing to dominate.

Analysis: Bitcoin's "silent bear market" continues, recording the worst weekly performance since the FTX collapse

Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000 last Monday, marking the worst weekly performance since the FTX exchange collapse in 2022. As of last Sunday, Bitcoin had accumulated a 16% decline over the past 7 days, retreating more than 50% from its historical high of over $126,000 in 2025. Several market analysts warned that the current rebound may be difficult to sustain, and Bitcoin may not have reached the bottom of this cycle yet. Griffin Ardern, co-founder of Primal Fund, stated that the market is still quite far from the "true bottom."Data shows that the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with a total outflow of approximately $5.5 billion. At the same time, Bitcoin fell below the 200-week moving average, widely regarded as a key support level, further weakening market confidence. Paul Howard, a senior executive at crypto trading firm Wincent, described the current market as a "silent bear market," believing that falling below the 200-week moving average is an important confirmation signal for the market entering a bear phase.Analysts pointed out that the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, the reversal of expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and strong U.S. employment data are driving the market to reprice the interest rate path, with a high interest rate environment being unfavorable for the performance of risk assets, including crypto assets. Additionally, some funds are flowing from the crypto market into artificial intelligence and tech stock sectors. Nevertheless, the current pullback is still less than historical bear market cycles. In past bear markets, Bitcoin typically retreated about 80% from its peak, while this round has seen a decline of about 50%. Some traders believe that if the macro environment continues to deteriorate and companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin face financing pressures, there remains a risk of further downside in the market.
