On June 5, data revealed that the number of monthly venture capital transactions in the cryptocurrency sector fell to about 50 in May, returning to levels seen before 2021, when the industry's scale was much smaller. The contraction in transactions occurred across nearly all categories, with infrastructure and crypto financial services—previously the most active sectors—approaching multi-year lows. The report suggests that the cooling of financing is primarily influenced by two factors: first, investors' attention and funds are increasingly shifting towards AI, structurally squeezing financing in the crypto sector; second, the current lack of high-attractiveness early-stage projects, similar to those that emerged in the cycles of 2021 and 2024, has led investment institutions to be more selective.

On June 5, the UK Financial Times published an article stating that the most notable aspect of the SpaceX IPO is the difficulty in assessing what the company will become in the next 10, 5, or even 2 years, which may be the state Musk intends to present. SpaceX confirmed on Wednesday that it is seeking a valuation of $1.78 trillion, which, if achieved, would make it the seventh-largest company by market value globally. However, the path to support this valuation is unclear. In February of this year, Musk merged SpaceX with xAI, making AI suddenly the most important business for SpaceX. Previously, SpaceX's core goal had been to make humanity a multi-planetary species; now, AI dominates the company's plans, with xAI contributing over three-quarters of capital expenditures in the first quarter, and 93% of the addressable market in the prospectus being AI-related. Musk is adept at continuously reshaping the narrative of his businesses according to market preferences. Previously, SolarCity was integrated into Tesla and rebranded as a renewable energy group, and Twitter later combined with xAI. Currently, SpaceX supports the xAI deal with a narrative that combines rockets and AI, aiming to surpass competitors by deploying AI data centers in space. However, SpaceX launched approximately 2,200 metric tons into orbit last year, while Musk stated that to participate in the orbital data center business, the company would need to launch 1 million tons annually. While SpaceX's rockets and Starlink satellite communication network are indeed significant achievements, Musk's true strength lies in crafting narratives. It is also noted that ultimately, real cash flow will remain the key to validating the valuation.

On June 5, US mortgage rates saw a slight decline last week as sellers struggled to find buyers willing to accept their offers. According to Freddie Mac data, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage fell from 6.53% to 6.48%. This rate was 6.85% at the same time last year. Economic uncertainty triggered by the Iran war has heightened inflation expectations, keeping housing loan rates high, which puts pressure on the sales season due to expensive borrowing costs. The growth rate of inventory has outpaced demand, making it difficult for many sellers nationwide to attract bids from buyers. Redfin real estate agent Patricia Ammann noted that the momentum for rising home prices is not as strong as it was five years ago, as high gasoline prices and rising living costs have made potential buyers less willing to drive up home prices.

On June 4, Lorenzo Valente, Director of Digital Asset Research at ARK Invest, published a statement indicating that there are numerous overlooked protocols in the current crypto market. Many projects have declined by 70% to 90% from their peak but continue to generate fees, maintain growth, and uphold their leading positions in their respective sectors. Valente noted that Aave has a price-to-earnings ratio of about 9, Solana around 12 with $6 billion in free cash flow, Ethereum approximately 17, and Uniswap about 8 times EBITDA. He also mentioned projects like Avalanche, Pendle, Ethena, and Morpho, stating that if these projects were evaluated in 2021, they would be preferred targets for venture capital at current valuations, yet they are now neglected by the market. Valente believes that current market funds are chasing HYPE and NEAR as they are the main trading lines at present, but the next significant trade may emerge from abandoned assets. He stated that investors do not become wealthy by buying already effective trades, but rather by purchasing assets that have temporarily lost value. The fundamentals of these projects have not dropped by 80%; what has declined is the narrative, and narratives will return, with fees continuing to compound.
