Gate Research Institute recently released the market report titled "June Market Structural Adjustment, Funds Concentrated on Impulsive Volume Opportunities," indicating that in June 2026, the cryptocurrency market weakened again under the multiple influences of macro pressure, institutional capital outflows, and a decline in risk appetite.From the market structure perspective, June did not see a widespread recovery, but rather a localized profit effect driven by a few long-tail assets. About 71% of the top 500 tokens recorded a decline, with only a quarter achieving an increase. BTC, ETH, and most mainstream assets faced pressure simultaneously, while low market cap tokens like CYDX, ANSEM, VELVET, SYN, and CX recorded increases of several times or even hundreds of times due to event catalysts and capital speculation, significantly raising the overall average returns.Volume analysis shows that the average trading volume amplification factor for 450 valid samples is 2.54x, with a median of only 0.49x. Only 17 tokens had a volume increase of more than 3 times, and 8 tokens exceeded 10 times. TEMPLE (289.05x), CX (259.13x), and MTBILL (128.15x) ranked at the top of the volume list.Overall, the market in June is still in a phase of shrinking risk appetite, and true recovery signals still need to be observed in the stabilization of leading assets like BTC and ETH, as well as the re-diffusion of funds from long-tail speculation back to mainstream assets.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that the U.S. Senate yesterday passed a resolution by unanimous consent, stating that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried should not receive a presidential pardon.The resolution was introduced by Senators Ruben Gallego and Cynthia Lummis, formally recording the Senate's political statement opposing the pardon for SBF.However, the resolution is not legally binding, so it will not prevent the U.S. President from pardoning SBF in the future, nor does it have any direct impact on his current legal situation.

Ripple's Co-Head of Global Public Policy and Government Affairs, Lauren Belive, stated that opposing the CLARITY Act is not against the crypto industry, but rather against consumers, as it will leave crypto holders exposed to bad actors exploiting regulatory arbitrage. Belive noted that the U.S. digital asset market already exists, but federal rules to protect consumers have not kept pace. She pointed out that the regulatory gap that led to the FTX collapse and customer fund losses still exists.Belive stated that the CLARITY Act would grant the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) clear joint jurisdiction over the digital asset market and require tokens to undergo regulatory oversight before entering the market. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer and President of the National Cryptocurrency Association, Stuart Alderoty, stated that opposing the CLARITY Act would allow the current unregulated status to continue, which would be exploited by bad actors.

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.

Blockstream co-founder Adam Back commented on the controversy within the Bitcoin community regarding BIP 110, stating that he understands and sympathizes with the concerns of those supporting BIP 110, who hate spam transactions and want to protect the network. However, the proposal is essentially an act of "trying to monitor others," which would erode Bitcoin's decentralization, security, and neutrality, fundamentally conflicting with the spirit of Bitcoin.In response, Michael Saylor retweeted and stated, "There are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam. BIP 110 turns the spam controversy into a consensus change, which will invalidate some currently valid transactions that have paid fees. This precedent is the real danger, and we should focus our energy on the truly important threats."Previously, David Bailey, chairman of the Bitcoin Treasury Company Nakamoto and chairman of Bitcoin Magazine, stated that the failure of the so-called "BIP-110" long-standing controversy constitutes an "extreme benefit" for Bitcoin and believes this further validates the network's resistance to attacks and splits.

According to Gate market data, today in the Hong Kong stock market, the chip design stock Guo Wei Holdings reached an intraday increase of 66.66%; Paig Bio-pharmaceuticals-B rose by 41.04%; and Zhaogangwang-W increased by 29.54%. Popular sectors such as chip design, industrial internet, and innovative drugs are performing actively, and market attention continues to heat up.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, SpaceX officially joined the Nasdaq 100 Index on July 7, after the company disclosed that its balance sheet holds 18,712 bitcoins. JPMorgan estimates that this index rebalancing will drive approximately $4.3 billion in passive inflows into funds and ETFs that track the Nasdaq 100. This means that through corporate treasury channels, institutional capital has gained structural exposure to bitcoin.After SpaceX's inclusion, the number of companies holding bitcoin in their treasury within the Nasdaq 100 has increased to three (SpaceX, Tesla, and Strategy). Analysts point out that the inclusion in the index creates demand driven by rules rather than active allocation, and the combination of bitcoin holdings with strong fundamentals can enhance a company's market visibility and liquidity. Currently, publicly listed companies collectively hold over 1.26 million bitcoins, and corporate bitcoin strategies are shifting from early experimentation to integration with mature financial infrastructure.

Jack Yi stated that the weekly level of Bitcoin is still in a downtrend, and in the short term, attention should be paid to whether it can effectively break through 68,000 USD.He believes that only by strongly standing above 68,000 USD can a more significant reversal in the market occur; if the breakout fails, the price may once again test the bottom, and there is a risk of falling below 47,000 USD that needs to be monitored.

NextGen Venture (NDV) founder Jason Huang stated that the institution had previously successfully issued an early warning about the pullback risk of Strategy (MSTR), and is currently taking the opposite action by starting to include Circle (CRCL) on the watchlist, looking for opportunities amid pressured market sentiment.

According to official social media news, Huobi HTX will hold a themed live broadcast today at 20:00 titled "Concerns About AI Bubble + Rising Interest Rate Expectations: Is Now the Time to Buy BTC or Should We Wait?" At that time, crypto KOLs such as Sister Mao Mao, Dada, Crypto.0824, and Genuine Little Taoist will attend to analyze whether BTC is facing new allocation opportunities in light of the current macro environment and market sentiment, and how investors should grasp the subsequent market rhythm.

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.

Michael Saylor called on the Bitcoin community on the X platform not to engage in internal strife over minor differences, but to focus on market opportunities. "Bitcoin supporters are united on 99% of important matters. We should not let 1% of differences divide us, especially when the vast majority of global capital has yet to enter the Bitcoin monetary network. The opportunities are far greater than the debates."

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.

Limitless co-founder and CEO CJ Hetherington stated that he does not believe the prediction market will see a situation dominated by a single platform; rather, it is more likely to present a multi-platform coexistence pattern similar to the offshore perpetual contract market.He pointed out that professional market makers and high-frequency traders are the main contributors to transactions and fees in the derivatives market, as they typically trade on multiple platforms simultaneously for arbitrage, which disperses liquidity across various platforms instead of concentrating it on a single winner.Hetherington revealed that Limitless currently has a monthly trading volume close to $2 billion, with users primarily from the Asia-Pacific (about 60%) and Europe (about 30%), and it has not yet entered the U.S. market (still awaiting regulatory approval). He believes that the institutional and risk transfer opportunities in the prediction market are about 10 times that of the original, and the scale will far exceed that of the retail side.

According to official social media news, the third session of the Huobi Master Lecture "AI Agent Economy and New Opportunities in Crypto" will officially start today at 19:00. Han Feng, an independent researcher at Harvard University, a corresponding member of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (NAAI), and a lifetime member of the Bitcoin Foundation, will be invited to attend and share insights on the theme "From H2A to A2A," discussing the new trends in the integration of AI and Crypto against the backdrop of the rise of the Agent economy, interpreting the collaborative network of intelligent agents, on-chain economic systems, and potential development opportunities in the future digital society.

a16z Crypto Operating Partner Jason Rosenthal posted on the X platform that cash flow is the moat. The best companies often establish themselves by placing themselves in the "cash flow," and cryptocurrency is the first modern technology born for this purpose. If your startup has not designed its products and business models around these principles, you will miss a great opportunity. Thanks to stablecoins, funds and value can now flow at the speed of the internet—global settlement, 24/7 uninterrupted, with end-to-end programmability.Railway companies do not make money from locomotives, but from every ton of goods that pass through the tracks; companies like Visa and Jane Street are all part of the cash flow. Cash flow combined with network effects is one of the most enduring business structures in history. There is a lot of profit margin in traditional financial services, and processes such as payments, custody, lending, foreign exchange, settlement, and market making can all be compressed. Crypto entrepreneurs have the opportunity to build the next generation of cash flow businesses that are programmable, instant, and global.This model can also be extended to computing, GPU markets, AI training data, energy, robotics, space, rare earth metals, and other fields. Founders should ask themselves: Are you in the cash flow? When the value of product activities grows tenfold, does your revenue grow accordingly? In your target market, where are the segments with the highest profit margins relative to the value created?
