The current trend in the Bitcoin MVRV ratio suggests the ongoing rally in the cryptocurrency’s price may have room to grow further still.
Bitcoin MVRV Ratio Hasn’t Yet Reached Its 4-Year MA
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the recovery phase in the asset’s price isn’t over yet. The “Market Value to Realized Value” (MVRV) ratio is an indicator that measures the ratio between the Bitcoin market cap and realized cap.
The “realized cap” here refers to a capitalization model for BTC that measures the total cap of the asset by taking the value of each coin in the circulating supply as the price at which it was last moved on the blockchain.
This metric aims to find a “fair value” for the cryptocurrency. Since the MVRV ratio compares the market cap (that is, the normal price) with the realized cap, the indicator can provide hints about whether the asset is overvalued or undervalued currently.
When the value of the MVRV ratio is greater than one, it means the market cap is larger than the realized cap right now. Such a trend suggests that the coin may be becoming overpriced. On the other hand, values of the metric lower than this threshold imply the cryptocurrency may be undervalued currently.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in this Bitcoin indicator, as well as in its 4-year moving average (MA), over the last few years:

As shown in the above graph, the Bitcoin MVRV ratio had been below the 1 mark for much of the current cycle’s bear market, until the rally in January of this year started.
The surge took the market cap above the realized cap, and so far, it hasn’t fallen below it again, as the cryptocurrency’s price has continued to observe bullish momentum.
There was a close call last month where a setback in the price almost took the MVRV ratio into the undervalued zone again, but the 1 level provided support to the indicator.
A line that the quant in the post believes has historical relevance for Bitcoin is the MVRV ratio’s 4-year MA. From the chart, it’s apparent that the price crossed above this mark during the recovery phases that followed the last two bear markets.
According to the analyst, the 4-year MA of the metric can “act as an important point between bearish, recovery, and bullish cycles, with a breakout of this range during the recovery phase often leading to short-term overheating followed by a correction period before entering a bullish phase.”
While the MVRV ratio has seen some sharp uptrend recently, the indicator is still not near the 4-year MA line. If the past cycles are anything to go by, then the recovery phase that BTC is observing right now may also lead to a cross above this level. This would suggest that the current rally may have more potential to grow before the top is eventually hit.

Claude's Capabilities Extracted at Large Scale? Anthropic Accuses Ali-Related Parties of 'Distilling' Models

Anthropic alleges that entities associated with Alibaba and its AI lab Qwen used nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from its Claude AI model in what it calls the "largest known" model distillation attack. The alleged incident occurred between April 22 and June 5, involving over 28.8 million interactions with Claude. Model distillation involves using a powerful model's outputs to train another model, potentially replicating abilities like software engineering and agent reasoning without stealing the underlying code. The accusations emerge amid heightened US AI export controls and the Pentagon's listing of Alibaba as a "Chinese military company." Anthropic detailed the claims in a June 10 letter to the US Senate Banking Committee, urging better threat intelligence sharing. While not conclusively proving direct Alibaba involvement or successful capability replication, the case highlights growing concerns over AI model outputs as contested assets. The incident may push for stricter controls on model access and user verification, increasing compliance costs for AI firms and potentially limiting Chinese companies' access to advanced foreign models.

The Crypto Industry Enters the 'Show Me' Era: Vision Alone Is No Longer Enough

The crypto industry has entered a "Show Me" era, where grand visions and white papers are no longer sufficient to gain traction. This shift is driven by increased skepticism, high-profile bad actors, and notably, the serious entry of traditional finance (TradFi) institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, and JPMorgan Chase, which are launching real, scaled products such as tokenized funds and blockchain-based settlement. This raises the bar for what constitutes a credible project. The communication dynamic has fundamentally changed. The focus is no longer on "what you are building" but on "what you have built and who is using it." Startups must now provide a "proof stack": verifiable data like mainnet transaction volume and active wallets, genuine partnerships with signed contracts, and evidence of organic product-market fit from real users, not just investors. Announcements must be backed by concrete, chain-verifiable evidence. For communication strategies, this means leading with proven facts and hard data—even if modest—rather than speculative narratives. A compelling story must be grounded in demonstrated results. While vision remains important, the balance has inverted from 80% vision/20% substance to the opposite. This higher threshold ultimately benefits builders with genuine traction, filtering out noise and allowing their real signals to stand out clearly. The "Show Me" era is a permanent maturation, demanding that communication strategies prove value, not just promise it.

Meta Follows the Trend into Prediction Markets: Can It Avoid Repeating the Failure of the Metaverse?

Meta, the tech giant behind Facebook, has reportedly formed a team to develop "Arena," a new application focused on prediction markets. Users would use platform points to place bets on outcomes in politics, sports, and global events. This move follows Meta's massive, nearly $900 billion, losses from its heavily-invested metaverse division, Reality Labs. The prediction market industry is already showing strong demand, with leading platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket facilitating hundreds of billions in annual volume. Meta, with its 3.56 billion daily active users across its apps, possesses the unprecedented scale to bring this niche activity to a mainstream audience, similar to its past success in cloning features like Stories and Reels. However, Arena faces significant hurdles. Meta plans to start with a points-based system to avoid strict financial regulations, but this may dilute the core incentive of accurate prediction that real-money markets provide. More critically, Meta enters the space with a major trust deficit stemming from its past regulatory battles, notably the failed Libra/Diem stablecoin project, and its controversial history with political content and misinformation. The prediction market sector itself is under increasing regulatory scrutiny, with recent CFTC actions including fines and the first-ever insider trading case. While Meta's vast user base offers a unique opportunity to expand the market, its success hinges on navigating complex regulations and rebuilding the credibility necessary for a platform dealing with sensitive topics like elections. The outcome could range from Meta dramatically growing the industry to Arena becoming a high-profile regulatory target before it can scale.

Stock Soars 1200% on First Day, 80s Sales Engineer's Reversal: From Selling FRP to a Fortune of 29 Billion

On its first day of listing, Zhenbao Technology (stock code "N Zhenbao") surged by 1207%, marking itself as the second "ten-bagger" new stock of the year on the STAR Market. The closing price of 585 yuan propelled it into the top 20 of the A-share market by stock price. Dubbed the "first share of semiconductor consumables," the company is backed by a comprehensive shareholder list including National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Phase II, SMIC, BOE, and YMTC. Zhenbao's business model focuses on supplying critical consumable components like silicon rings and quartz parts to semiconductor fabs. Unlike expensive core equipment with low repurchase rates, these consumables require frequent replacement as long as production lines are running, generating stable recurring revenue—a key reason for its high market valuation. Founder Wang Bing, an 80s-born former sales engineer, built the company by identifying a supply chain vulnerability: foreign monopolies on high-purity materials led to high costs and unstable deliveries for domestic fabs. Zhenbao's strategy emphasized reliability and speed over absolute top-tier performance, offering products at about 50% of the price with 80% of the performance but 100% on delivery and responsiveness. To achieve this, the company vertically integrated its operations across "raw materials + components + surface treatment," ensuring supply chain control and cost reduction. Its clientele now spans major domestic fabs like BOE and Huahong, as well as international players like SK Hynix and Texas Instruments. However, risks accompany its rapid expansion. The IPO raised approximately 1.605 billion yuan primarily for capacity expansion, which will bring significant annual depreciation costs, potentially impacting future profitability. The company's growth is heavily reliant on sustained high levels of fab expansion, making it vulnerable to the semiconductor industry's cyclical downturns. Other concerns include high accounts receivable (70.83% of revenue at one point in 2025), heavy reliance on its top five customers (over 70% of sales), and questions about the stability and authenticity of its R&D investments, evidenced by volatile R&D headcount and unusual spikes in R&D energy consumption. While the "consumables story" commands a premium, long-term valuation will depend on maintaining high capacity utilization and healthy cash flow conversion.
