Introduzione

El ataque de EE.UU. en Venezuela, que resultó en la captura del presidente Nicolás Maduro, ha generado una propuesta legislativa contra el uso de información privilegiada en mercados de predicción. El congresista Ritchie Torres planea presentar un proyecto de ley que prohibirá a funcionarios gubernamentales realizar transacciones en estos mercados cuando posean información no pública relevante. La iniciativa surge después de que tres carteras digitales obtuvieran ganancias de $630,848 apostando sobre la captura de Maduro horas antes del operativo. Mientras tanto, el mercado de criptomonedas se mantiene estable, con Bitcoin cotizando en $91,414 y una capitalización total de $3.08 billones.

El ataque de Estados Unidos a Venezuela representa el evento de mayor impacto del nuevo año hasta ahora. En varios desarrollos derivados de este incidente, el representante Ritchie Torres planea presentar un proyecto de ley dirigido al uso de información privilegiada en los mercados de predicción, tras conocerse que operadores obtuvieron grandes ganancias al predecir la captura del presidente Nicolás Maduro.

La lucha por la integridad en los mercados de predicción

El 3 de enero, el presidente estadounidense Donald anunció una misión militar exitosa en Venezuela que culminó con la captura del presidente Maduro y su esposa, Cilia Flores. La administración republicana en Washington acusa a Maduro y su cónyuge de dirigir una "organización narco-terrorista", y ambos han sido procesados para enfrentar cargos de narcotráfico en Nueva York.

Amid las numerosas condenas y reacciones a esta medida del gobierno estadounidense, se han revelado casos de uso de información privilegiada en torno al evento en el mercado de predicciones. La página de análisis blockchain Lookonchain informa que tres carteras con información interna realizaron apuestas en Polymarket sobre la captura de Maduro apenas horas antes del ataque.

Los datos muestran que estas tres carteras fueron creadas recientemente, financiadas, y solo realizaron apuestas relacionadas con Venezuela y la captura de Maduro, obteniendo ganancias totales valoradas en $630,848. La mayor de estas transacciones provino de un operador que invirtió $34,000 para registrar ganancias de $409,900.

Según el fundador de PunchBowl News, Jake Sherman, el representante Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) busca presentar un proyecto de ley que ilegalice este acto entre funcionarios gubernamentales y proteja información importante relacionada con el estado. El proyecto, que se titularía Ley de Integridad Pública en los Mercados de Predicción Financiera de 2026, pretende prohibir que todas las personas afiliadas al gobierno participen en apuestas de mercados de predicción cuando tengan acceso a cierta información.

Sherman afirma que la descripción de la ley propuesta decía:

Este proyecto de ley prohíbe a los funcionarios federales electos, designados políticos y empleados del Poder Ejecutivo participar en ciertas transacciones que involucren contratos de mercados de predicción cuando posean información material no pública relevante para la transacción o cuando puedan obtener razonablemente dicha información a través de sus deberes oficiales.

La restricción se aplica a la compra, venta o intercambio de contratos de mercados de predicción vinculados a políticas gubernamentales, acciones gubernamentales o resultados políticos en plataformas dedicadas al comercio interestatal

Cabe destacar que los mercados de predicción experimentaron un auge a finales de 2025 tras el creciente interés de Wall Street en la infraestructura de mercado blockchain. Kalshi, que actualmente se posiciona como la mayor plataforma de predicción, está valorada en $11 mil millones tras una recaudación de $1 mil millones en diciembre.

El mercado de criptomonedas se mantiene resiliente tras el ataque a Venezuela

En otras noticias, el mercado de criptomonedas no ha mostrado una reacción negativa significativa al ataque estadounidense en suelo venezolano. En el último día, Bitcoin se ha movido un 2.13% para cotizar en $91,414, mientras que la capitalización total del mercado de criptomonedas subió a $3.08 billones.

Bitcoin Mining Farm Transforms into AI Data Center: Sangha's 'Sell-Out' Decision

"Sangha, a cryptocurrency mining company, is considering selling its recently operational Genesis bitcoin mining facility in Texas. Despite being profitable due to low-cost power (approximately $32/MWh), the company is exploring a sale, joint venture, or strategic partnership, advised by Marathon Capital. The core value of the 19.9MW site lies not in the mining hardware but in its established, scalable power infrastructure—a direct connection to a 180MW solar farm with plans to expand to 110.4MW. This makes it an attractive, ready-to-use asset for AI or high-performance computing (HPC) companies seeking to avoid lengthy permitting and grid connection processes. Sangha's move reflects a broader industry trend where mining operators are pivoting towards higher-value AI compute opportunities. The decision represents a strategic shift from building a long-term 'win-win-win' mining model to capitalizing on the current premium demand for AI-ready power and data center infrastructure."

Dalio's Latest Warning: Don't Get Carried Away by AI, Real Returns on US Stocks in the Next 5-10 Years Could Be -5% to -10%

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns investors against excessive concentration in AI stocks. He argues the current market, dominated by a few AI giants, mirrors historical patterns where revolutionary new technologies lead to high risk, volatility, and uncertainty. While acknowledging AI's transformative potential, Dalio emphasizes that most investors fail at this stage of the cycle by over-concentrating in a handful of leading companies. He cites inherent risks: companies cannot accurately forecast investment needs or external shocks (e.g., monetary policy, geopolitics, taxes), face potential disruption from future technologies and international competition (notably from China), and experience significant price swings. Dalio's core advice is diversification, calling it his "Holy Grail of Investing." He presents a mathematical case that a well-diversified portfolio of 15-20 uncorrelated, good bets offers a superior risk-adjusted return compared to a concentrated position. Dalio also offers a cautious outlook, suggesting U.S. stocks may deliver real returns of -5% to -10% over the next 5-10 years based on valuation and bubble indicators. He concludes that in the face of high uncertainty, the prudent strategy is not to avoid betting entirely, but to avoid large, concentrated bets where one lacks sufficient informational edge. Instead, investors should build a strategically balanced, diversified portfolio.

Rain Valuation Approaches $20 Billion: The Battle for U-Cards Extends to Rewards Systems

Rain, a stablecoin payments infrastructure company, is shifting the competitive focus for U Cards from simple issuance to user retention and repeated usage. On June 15, Rain launched "Rain Rewards," an embedded loyalty program capability within its card-issuing infrastructure. This allows partner businesses—like fintech platforms and neobanks—to configure branded loyalty points, earning rules, redemptions, and merchant promotions directly within their card products. The system, built from the 2025 acquisition of Uptop, ensures points are only issued upon final transaction settlement, preventing liabilities from refunds. Trials, such as with Avalanche Card, reportedly boosted spending by 25% among enrolled users. Founded by Farooq Malik and Charles Yoo-Naut, Rain evolved from a tool for managing Web3 company expenses into a full-stack enterprise platform. It is a Principal Member of Visa and Mastercard, enabling partners to issue stablecoin-backed cards and wallets while leveraging traditional payment networks. Notably, the popular U Card Plasma One is issued by Rain under Visa's authority. Rain also integrates with Visa's stablecoin settlement pilot, using USDC for network settlement. Rain's rapid funding reflects growing institutional interest in stablecoin payment infrastructure. It raised a $245 million Series A in March 2025, a $58 million Series B in August 2025, and a $250 million Series C in January of this year, reaching a $19.5 billion valuation. Annualized transaction volume exceeds $3 billion, serving over 200 partners including Western Union and Nuvei. Beyond cards, Rain is expanding into programmable payments. Its June 2026 "Agent Control Layer" allows businesses to set spending rules—like merchant categories, amounts, and frequency—for AI agents before transactions occur. This positions Rain not as a single product but as an operating system for stablecoin payments, handling everything from card issuance and wallet management to rewards, on/off-ramps, and automated compliance. The goal is to enable seamless, often invisible, real-world spending of on-chain assets.

Historical Bottom Signal Reappears? Messari Valued at $300 Million Sells for $10 Million

Messari, a major crypto data and research platform once valued at $300 million, was sold to rival Blockworks for just over $10 million in June 2026. This sale marks a broader, quiet contraction in the crypto industry. Data platforms like DappRadar and Parsec have shut down, media outlets like CoinDesk have been sold at steep discounts, and companies across the sector are laying off staff or pivoting to AI, which is disrupting traditional research and data business models. Venture capital investment in crypto has plummeted, with funding in Q1 2026 at its lowest since 2020, as capital and talent shift aggressively toward AI. Prominent crypto investors are leaving the space, and many funds are struggling. However, these extreme pessimism signals may historically indicate a market bottom. Bitcoin is down nearly 50% from its 2026 high, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has been in "extreme fear" for months, and long-term Bitcoin holders control a near-record 80% of the supply. Similar combinations of deeply negative signals—including low VC activity and distressed asset sales—preceded major bull markets in 2018, 2020, and 2022. While Messari's downfall symbolizes a tough period, it also aligns with patterns seen at cycle lows.

Google TPU Shipments Revised Up by 50%

Recent industry research indicates a significant upward revision in the shipments of Google's TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips. Previous expectations for 2027 were set at around 10 million units, but new estimates now point to 15 million units, a 50% increase. This substantial boost directly translates to higher demand across the entire supporting supply chain. Google's TPU clusters utilize a standardized all-optical interconnect architecture. Consequently, key hardware components are deeply integrated and scaled in fixed ratios with the chips. The 15 million TPU target will drive corresponding demand increases for NPO optical engines (roughly a 1:1 match), 1.6T optical modules, OCS optical switches, high-end server power supplies, fiber optics & MPO connectors, and liquid cooling solutions. Among these, liquid cooling is highlighted as the sector experiencing the most significant transformation and offering the most stable potential for excess returns. As next-generation TPU chips reach power levels where traditional air cooling is insufficient, liquid cooling becomes essential. 2026 is forecasted as the first year of substantial adoption for Google's liquid cooling solutions. This shift, coupled with delivery and capacity bottlenecks faced by incumbent overseas manufacturers, is creating a prime window for domestic Chinese suppliers to enter and secure Google's core supply chain. The market size for Google-specific liquid cooling is projected to potentially triple from a baseline of hundreds of billions to around 300 billion units by 2028. The logic for the fiber optic sector is also being rewritten. Once considered a cyclical commodity tied to telecom operator procurement, fiber is now a strategic and scarce resource for AI Data Centers (AIDC). A severe supply-demand imbalance, driven by the long lead time for preform production (18-24 months) and surging demand from cloud giants, is supporting strong performance. Chinese fiber manufacturers are well-positioned to capture a significant share of global AIDC demand, with exports potentially reaching 200-300 million core kilometers in 2026. Overall, the investment focus within the AI computing industry is shifting from pure "chip performance speculation" towards the more certain incremental growth in computing infrastructure and its supporting ecosystem. The upward revision in Google TPU shipments, along with the potential for further doubling by 2028, is seen as solidifying performance visibility for the entire supporting supply chain over the next two years.
