Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine and Co-founder of Fundstrat, stated that the S&P 500 index is expected to reach the range of 7900 to 8000 points in August, which still has about a 3.6% upside potential from Wednesday's closing level.Lee believes that the main factors driving the continued rise of U.S. stocks include strong technical momentum, accelerated corporate earnings growth, and an expanding breadth of the market rally. He remains optimistic about semiconductors, software, Ethereum, and the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks, believing that AI-driven earnings growth will continue to improve market expectations for corporate earnings in 2027.Lee indicated that as AI-related investments continue to drive improvements in corporate efficiency and profit growth, the market may further raise future earnings forecasts, providing support for the rise of U.S. stocks.

According to CoinDesk, the S&P 500 index has increased by 3.12% this month, adding approximately $2.1 trillion in market value (equivalent to the total market value of the entire cryptocurrency market), with a total market value reaching a historic high of $70.5 trillion. However, Bitcoin has only risen about 2% this month, hovering around $64,600.Analysts point out that this round of stock market gains is primarily driven by narratives around AI and semiconductor stocks, rather than a broad recovery in macro-level risk appetite, and Bitcoin lacks direct exposure to benefit from this.Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market is also facing multiple internal pressures: the Coldcard platform suffered a $120 million vulnerability attack, the outlook for the Clarity Act is uncertain, Strategy has reduced its BTC holdings for three consecutive months, and the supply of stablecoins continues to shrink—USDT's scale has decreased from $190 billion in April to $183 billion, and USDC has dropped from $79.5 billion to $72 billion.

According to Gate market data, the S&P 500 index rose by 0.7% at one point before erasing its gains, currently the Dow is up 0.8%, and the Nasdaq is down 0.25%.

S&P Global Ratings on Monday awarded BlackRock's new tokenized money market fund, BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV), an "AAAm" rating, the highest rating for principal stability funds. The rating is based on factors including the credit quality of investments and counterparties, the term structure, and the management's ability to maintain stable net asset value. S&P Global Ratings stated that no weaknesses were found in BlackRock's management and organization, credit research and analysis, risk management, and compliance.It also noted that the fund's tokenization framework has operational resilience, using a permissioned architecture that restricts transactions to whitelisted wallets to reduce risks associated with the network, smart contracts, and blockchain networks. BRSRV was launched on Monday as an open-end management investment company, aiming to ensure that its shares meet the qualified reserve asset requirements for payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. The fund will hold cash, U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 93 days or less, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasury instruments, maintaining a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days and a weighted average life of no more than 120 days.S&P Global Ratings also released a separate summary of stablecoin stability assessments on Tuesday, stating that among the 11 stablecoins covered, 6 have "adequate" or stronger capabilities to maintain fiat currency pegs. USDT remains at a level 5 "weak," while TUSD and USDe are also at level 5; USDC, EURC, USDG, and USDP are rated level 2 "strong."

According to Jinshi reports, Barclays stated that 85% of the S&P 500 index constituent companies exceeded earnings expectations in the second quarter, far above the long-term average of 76%. Revenue grew by 11.2% year-on-year, and earnings per share surged by 25.1% driven by large tech stocks. Despite the strong performance, Barclays pointed out that both earnings exceeding expectations and falling short triggered negative reactions in stock prices, indicating that investors have digested most of the positive news.

According to Jinshi News, Castle Securities stated that the forces that drove U.S. stocks to record highs this year are still "firmly in place" after retail investor speculative trading has cooled down. Scott Rubner, head of equity and equity derivatives strategy at Castle Securities, indicated that the market is shifting from a fund flow-driven environment to one determined by earnings, corporate demand, and macroeconomic conditions.The retreat of retail investors has led to a 28% decline in the asset size of leveraged ETFs to $154 billion, and the decrease in financing costs for stock positions indicates that the pressure faced by Wall Street's trading departments has eased. Recent strong earnings performance is favorable for the U.S. stock market, and corporate buyback demand is expected to accelerate.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. market has frequently seen bubbles around specific industries and themes in recent years, but these localized bubbles usually do not drag down the overall stock market when they burst.The current storage chip bubble rapidly inflated and burst within about 4 months, accompanied by severe volatility and a hedge fund falling into crisis, yet the S&P 500 index is only 1.6% away from its historical high, and the equal-weighted S&P 500 index set a new high last week. The pullback in AI-related stocks has also been almost completely offset by gains in other sectors.Over the past decade, the U.S. market has experienced bubbles in 3D printing, Chinese concept stocks, low-volatility products, SPACs, clean energy, cannabis, space, crypto assets, and AI concept stocks. Strategy fell 83% from its peak, Trump Media's stock price dropped 89%, and SK Hynix fell 55% before rebounding last Friday.Loose funding, speculative demand, and expectations for new technologies have driven these bubbles, while margin debt and leveraged ETFs in recent years have further amplified the volatility.These localized bubbles have not caused severe shocks to the economy, mainly because most were not financed by large amounts of debt. After the bubbles burst, the losses were primarily borne by investors, and the banking system did not suffer significant shocks.Macro strategist Russell Napier stated that the banking system remains healthy, so there is always more credit available in the market to create the next round of bubbles.However, AI investments are pushing the market into a more dangerous territory. Data center spending is expected to reach $7 trillion over the next four years, and if the productivity gains from AI are not sufficient to support such a scale of investment, capital misallocation could severely harm the economy.As AI construction increasingly relies on debt financing, if broader AI investments ultimately prove to be a bubble, their burst could impact the financial system, making it difficult for the overall market to remain unaffected.
