38% of altcoins near all-time lows – Assessing 48% market cap wipeout

Altcoins are experiencing severe market pressure, with liquidity drying up and capital outflows accelerating. The altcoin market capitalization has dropped 48%, from a peak of $1.9 trillion to $981 billion. According to analysis, 38% of active altcoins are trading near their all-time lows, with examples like LIT, ENA, and WLFI down between 69% and 93% from their peaks. Trading volume has plunged 58% since October 2025, and Open Interest has fallen sharply, indicating reduced risk appetite and dominant bearish sentiment. For a market reversal, a significant shift in sentiment and an influx of demand-side liquidity are required.

a16z: After AI Grants Humans Superpowers, Where Do We Go From Here?

A new paper titled "The Minimal Economics of AGI" explores the economic implications of AI automation, particularly as AI agents evolve from tools into collaborative partners capable of long-horizon tasks. The authors, Christian Catalini and Eddy Lazzarin, argue that the core economic divide will be between automation (tasks that can be measured and automated) and verification (tasks requiring human oversight, judgment, and contextual understanding). Key themes include: - The "coder’s curse": top experts training AI systems may inadvertently automate their own roles over time. - Three future human roles: directors (setting intent), verifiers (domain experts ensuring quality), and meaning-makers (creating cultural and social value). - Cryptocurrency and blockchain are positioned as critical for identity, provenance, and trust in a world flooded with AI-generated content. - Two potential economic outcomes: a "hollow economy" with systemic risk from under-verification, or an "augmented economy" where AI amplifies human potential and reduces costs for education, healthcare, and innovation. - The importance of small, agile teams leveraging AI for outsized impact, with crypto infrastructure enabling coordination at scale. The authors emphasize that AI acts as a force multiplier, granting individuals "superpowers," and urge a focus on verification, adaptability, and ambitious experimentation.

MVC Market View Express (3.9-3.15)

Recent tensions in the Middle East have heightened market sensitivity to geopolitical risks, particularly concerning Iran. The assessment is that the U.S. is unlikely to deploy ground troops, while Iran may use external pressure to legitimize internal political restructuring. A 20% rise in oil prices could trigger a U.S. policy response, keeping the situation broadly manageable. Geopolitical premiums will continue to influence market sentiment until oil falls below $100 per barrel. Long-term trends, especially in commodities and precious metals, remain upward, with new capital being deployed opportunistically on dips. Three key themes are emphasized: 1. Commodities and Resources: Geopolitical risks and the restructuring of the credit system support elevated gold prices. Exposure to gold mining equities is being increased. Copper is viewed as a medium- to long-term allocation, benefiting from future liquidity expansion. 2. Digital Assets: Bitcoin has recently outperformed equities but lacks a clear trend reversal signal. A cautious stance is maintained, prioritizing drawdown control while awaiting confirmation of a turning point in U.S. dollar liquidity. 3. AI and Technology: Current valuations of AI leaders appear full, with limited short-term upside consensus. Future performance will heavily depend on changes in global liquidity conditions. Overall, the strategy remains centered on the themes of “traditional credit system restructuring” and “East-facing allocation,” with a focus on RMB-denominated resource assets to balance certainty and upside potential.

Wall Street Expert Warns of 35% Stock Crash Amid US-Iran War

Wall Street expert Ed Yardeni has raised his prediction for a U.S. stock market crash to 35% for the rest of the year, up from an initial 20% forecast. This revision comes amid escalating tensions in the U.S.-Iran war, which has driven oil prices above $100 a barrel. Yardeni also reduced the odds of a market rally influenced by investor enthusiasm to just 5%. The conflict has caused investors to push back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts to September, with some betting no cuts will occur in 2026 due to slower economic growth and rising inflation. Additionally, crypto-related stocks are falling, with some firms, like Bitcoin miner Core Scientific, pivoting strategies and selling assets amid the uncertainty.
