币界网报道:

联邦团结基金超级政治行动委员会已拨款超过85万美元,支持共和党人约翰·迪顿从马萨诸塞州竞选美国参议院,该竞选旨在罢免民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。这笔投资包括45万美元的直邮和50万美元的媒体购买,7月份在媒体植入上的额外支出超过30万美元。

Deaton是一位著名的律师和加密货币倡导者,也是从2025年开始竞选马萨诸塞州参议员的三名共和党人之一。

PAC收到了加密货币行业的重大捐款,包括Ripple的100万美元捐款,正在支持Deaton的候选人资格。

迪顿反对沃伦的参议院候选人资格获得支持

今年早些时候,Gemini的联合创始人Cameron和Tyler Winklevoss直接向Deaton的竞选活动捐款6600美元,这是个人在初选和大选活动中的最高允许金额。温克尔沃斯兄弟于7月宣布,他们将向迪顿捐赠100万美元,但尚不确定这些资金将如何分配。

其他捐助者包括Cardano老板Charles Hoskinson、Kraken董事长Jesse Powell和特朗普总统的前通讯总监兼加密对冲基金SkyBridge Capital的创始人Anthony Scaramucci。最后,Ripple Labs的首席执行官兼CLO Brad Garlinghouse和Stuart Alderoty也向Deaton提供了财务支持。

截至7月31日,迪顿已为2024年的参议院竞选筹集了约170万美元,其中约有100万美元现金。相比之下,截至7月,参议员沃伦自2023年1月以来已筹集约640万美元,其中约490万美元为流动资产。

定于9月3日举行的马萨诸塞州初选预计将成为2024年美国大选中加密货币社区捐款的关键战场。8月6日,在Fairshake Super PAC及其附属机构的支持下,美国众议院三个州四个选区的候选人在媒体购买上花费了400多万美元后赢得了初选。

迪顿以强大的法律背景发起参议院竞选

加密货币和间皮瘤律师Deaton于2月正式发起了罢免美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦的竞选活动,拉开了竞选季的序幕,两人已经进行了交易攻击和尖刻的评论。

Deaton通过各种渠道,包括他的网站CryptoLaw,在加密货币问题上积极发声。就在最近,在纳什维尔举行的2024年比特币会议上,他向观众强调了他对加密货币的承诺。

我刚刚向联邦选举委员会透露,在我所有的净资产中,82%是比特币。迪顿

然而,并非加密货币世界中的每个人都支持Deaton。怀俄明州参议员Cynthia Lummis持有大量比特币,她在7月份支持共和党人Ian Cain而不是Deaton。参议员Lummis引用Cain对“数字经济”的理解以及他对创新的支持作为她支持的原因。

截至6月,几项民意调查显示,参议员沃伦领先凯恩和迪顿至少20个百分点。她在民主党初选中没有对手。

Rented Faith: How Much of the Bitcoin ETF Inflows Is Real Money?

"Rented Conviction: How Much of Bitcoin ETF Flows Is Real Money" The weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are often interpreted as a gauge of institutional belief. However, a significant portion of this activity is driven by a hidden arbitrage trade, not directional conviction. The core mechanism is a cash-and-carry arbitrage: traders buy spot Bitcoin (often via ETFs) while simultaneously shorting CME futures to lock in the price difference, or "basis." This delta-neutral trade is essentially an interest rate play. In weekly data, about half the fluctuation in ETF flows can be explained by new short positions added by leveraged funds (hedge funds), with a correlation of 0.70. Bitcoin's price movement in a given week shows no statistical power in predicting these flows. While this arbitrage trade drives weekly *volatility*, it is not the main component of the cumulative *stock*. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows, the current net arbitrage position is only about $1 billion. The remainder is steady, directional buying averaging ~$400 million per week, which constitutes the vast majority of the accumulated "mountain" over two years. Thus, ETF flow data overstates the *volatility* of conviction, not its *level*. This arbitrage trade has been unwinding for nearly two years. Leveraged fund short positions peaked at ~$14 billion in late 2024 and have since declined to ~$4.5 billion. When the basis compresses to unprofitable levels, ETF inflows and short positions retreat together. Recent outflows should not be mistaken for a loss of faith but rather the routine unwinding of this rate trade. For Ethereum ETFs, the pattern is weaker. Accounting for staking yield makes the basis often negative, so neither strong conviction buying nor robust arbitrage supports its flows. To interpret ETF flows correctly, monitor the CME basis versus T-bill rates and leveraged fund net shorts. They reveal how much of the next "demand" headline is real. The real, patient buy-and-hold demand is what constitutes the enduring bulk of ETF assets.

Soaring Over Tenfold Within the Year: The Frenzy Over SK Hynix Leveraged Products

South China Morning Post The leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has surged over tenfold year-to-date, fueled by intense market speculation on the memory chip sector. By June 22, the value of the 'South Korea 2x Long SK Hynix ETF' listed in Hong Kong had skyrocketed by more than 1,061% since the start of the year, while its asset size exploded over twenty times from the end of last year. The rally is driven by AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), with SK Hynix recently sampling its next-generation HBM4E product. However, industry professionals warn of significant risks. Leveraged ETFs magnify both gains and losses. During a recent market correction, while the underlying SK Hynix stock fell 19.1%, its double-leveraged ETF dropped nearly 38%. Korean regulators noted that such products could theoretically lose 60% in a single day. Additionally, these ETFs face risks like time decay in volatile markets, liquidity spirals during mass redemptions, and extreme price dislocations from market-making failures, as seen in early June when an ETF moved opposite to its underlying stock. The trading is predominantly driven by retail investors, with institutional capital largely absent due to the products' high volatility. Analysts caution that with the semiconductor sector at elevated valuations and facing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties, leveraged ETFs pose a substantial threat of amplified losses for uninformed investors.

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.
