【Trump Sues JPMorgan for "Debanking", Claims $5 Billion】

BitPush News: On January 22 local time, former U.S. President Donald Trump officially sued JPMorgan in a Florida court, accusing the bank of "debanking" him and his companies without just cause in 2021, and seeking $5 billion in damages.

The lawsuit accuses JPMorgan of commercial defamation, breach of good faith, and alleges that its CEO Jamie Dimon violated trade laws. JPMorgan responded by calling the lawsuit "baseless," emphasizing that the account closures were due to regulatory compliance risks rather than political reasons. The bank stated it supports efforts to prevent the "weaponization" of the banking sector and will defend itself in court.

【Kansas Proposes Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill】

BitPush News: According to a disclosure by Bitcoin Archive, the state of Kansas has proposed a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill. This bill would allow up to 10% of the state's trust fund assets to be invested in Bitcoin ETFs.

If passed, Kansas would become another U.S. state promoting the inclusion of Bitcoin in its state-level asset allocation framework. Related progress is still subject to the legislative process.

【BitGo Debuts on NYSE with High Volatility, Stock Rises 36% Before Retreating】

BitPush News: Crypto asset custody company BitGo Holdings debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, with its stock experiencing significant volatility on the first day of trading. The company's Class A stock (BTGO) rose sharply after opening, surging 36% intraday to $24.50, but subsequently gave up most of its gains.

BitGo's IPO was priced at $18 per share, raising approximately $213 million, valuing the company at over $2 billion. At the close, BTGO was at $18.49, up about 2.7% for the day; in after-hours trading, the stock fell to around $18.35, nearly returning to the IPO price.

Market observers noted that the high volatility on BitGo's first day reflects significant investor interest and divergent expectations for crypto infrastructure companies. Meanwhile, peers such as Anchorage Digital and Kraken are also reportedly evaluating the possibility of launching IPOs this year.

【SpaceX Has Reached Deals with Four Banks in Preparation for "Mega IPO"】

BitPush News: According to a report by Jin10, citing the Financial Times, Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX is selecting Wall Street investment banks for a "mega" IPO, which is expected to be one of the largest IPOs in history. According to informed sources, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley have been appointed as the lead underwriters for this IPO, responsible for overseeing the listing process.

SpaceX executives have held meetings with several investment banks in recent weeks as the company prepares for a potential IPO launch as early as this year. Currently, SpaceX is conducting a secondary share sale that values the company at approximately $800 billion. The sources also mentioned that other investment banks are likely to secure underwriting roles in the listing but emphasized that the arrangements are not yet final and could change.

【Farcaster Founder Clarifies: Protocol Operating Normally, Home Purchase Funds Came from Coinbase IPO Proceeds】

BitPush News: Farcaster founder Dan Romero stated, in response to market rumors, the following clarifications:

1. Farcaster is not planning to shut down. The protocol is currently operating normally and will continue to run stably. In December last year, its monthly active users reached 250,000, with over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup planning to shift Farcaster towards a more developer-focused direction.

2. Regarding the Merkle project, we plan to return the full $180 million in raised funds to investors. Over the past five years, we have always strived to manage investor funds prudently.

3. Finally, it must be clarified that the funds for my home purchase came from the proceeds of Coinbase's Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The 'Summer Saw' Continues: A Break Above $67,000 Could Signal the Start of Bitcoin's Rally

Bitcoin continues to consolidate within a $58,000–$67,000 range, with its price dropping to $62,217 on August 1st. Analysts are divided on the next direction. Trader Crypto Candy suggests a potential drop towards $60,000 if the price remains below $66,000. Investor Jelle refers to the prolonged sideways movement as a "summer saw" and maintains a dollar-cost averaging strategy. The key upside scenario hinges on a breakout above $67,000. Daan Crypto Trades states that without this, the movement risks being just an extended pause. Roman projects a sharper rise to $70,000–$80,000+ if a breakout occurs with sufficient volume. Macro-analyst Gert van Lagen views this as an accumulation phase within a multi-year "cup and handle" pattern. He notes that long-term holders are refusing to sell, as indicated by the NUPL metric staying far from capitulation. In summary, the market is in an accumulation phase, with the $60,000 and $67,000 levels being critical. A break above $67,000 could initiate significant growth, while a fall below $60,000 may lead to further decline. The recent pullback shows that legislative catalysts have provided only short-lived momentum, raising questions about the sustainability of any future breakout attempts.

Stocks Are Plummeting More Sharply Than Cryptocurrencies. Where Has the Money Gone?

Stock Markets Plunge Deeper Than Cryptocurrencies: Where Did the Money Go? In late July, Seoul's Kospi index triggered circuit breakers for two consecutive days, plummeting over 40% from its June high. The collapse was led by heavyweight stocks like SK Hynix, whose record profits still disappointed investors, and devastating leveraged ETFs, with one major product losing over 83% of its value. This signaled a global, forced deleveraging targeting the most crowded trades. Interestingly, while stocks exhibited extreme volatility akin to crypto markets, Bitcoin rose nearly 15% in July after a prior steep drop. Analysis shows the money fleeing equities did not flow into Bitcoin. Instead, Bitcoin had already absorbed its sell-off in May-June, when U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw historic outflows. The true safe-haven beneficiary was gold, whose price rose over 20% year-on-year, highlighting a decoupling between Bitcoin and gold as "digital gold." The sell-off was a targeted unwinding of leveraged positions in tech and semiconductors, accelerated by broker-dealer risk management and shifts in the AI narrative, including new competition from Chinese memory chipmakers. The retreat path was clear: from high-valuation tech stocks to cash and U.S. Treasuries, then to gold. For Bitcoin to attract sustained institutional inflows, conditions like eased global liquidity pressure, a "soft-landing" Fed rate cut, and U.S. regulatory clarity via legislation like the stalled CLARITY Act are needed. Currently, Bitcoin is not a safe haven but an already-cleared asset. Its low correlation with tech stocks, however, makes it a potential diversification play for institutional portfolios once the storm passes. The money isn't here yet, but the positioning is underway.

In Conversation with Ray Dalio: We Are Currently in an AI Bubble, with 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns in an interview that the current AI boom shows classic bubble characteristics, which could lead to significant economic downturns as seen in past cycles like 1929 or 2000. He explains that speculative enthusiasm, fueled by debt and overvaluation, often precedes a crash when rising rates or taxation force asset sales, causing widespread losses and recession. Dalio also outlines his "Big Cycle" theory, describing an approximate 80-year pattern where widening wealth gaps, massive government deficits, and shifting geopolitical power (like China's rise) create internal conflict and global instability. He emphasizes that we are in a late-cycle, transitional phase where traditional powers like the US and UK face decline. For personal wealth protection, Dalio advises diversification beyond cash into assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and particularly gold, which he prefers over Bitcoin. While he holds about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin as a non-printable hard asset, he views gold as more secure from technological or governmental threats. Regarding AI's impact, Dalio believes it will disproportionately benefit capital owners, worsening inequality by replacing both physical and cognitive labor. He suggests that human intuition and emotional intelligence, combined with AI, will be key for future workers. On taxation, Dalio argues that wealth taxes are impractical and risk triggering asset sell-offs, reducing productive investment. He points to the UK as a cautionary example of debt, low productivity, and political strife. Geopolitically, Dalio foresees a more regionalized world, with the US showing weakness in prolonged conflicts like with Iran, akin to past imperial declines. The ideal outcome, he suggests, is coexisting powerful blocs (e.g., Americas, China-Asia Pacific) without major war.
