Bitcoin remains stuck at its current levels. The number one cryptocurrency has been unable to push upwards and could be in danger of revisiting its yearly lows.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $20,700 with sideways movement in the last 24 hours and the past week.

According to crypto analyst Justin Bennett, Bitcoin is hinting at further losses. The cryptocurrency stayed rangebound even as the traditional market rallied.

Bitcoin has displayed a high correlation with traditional equities. In particular, the price of Bitcoin seems to be moving in tandem with the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 Index.

However, this dynamic has been changing in short timeframes making BTC a lagger as equities trend upwards. Bennett believes this is an indicator of a fakeout, a false upwards movement before a re-test of previous support.

At the moment, the analyst claims, there is nothing more important for BTC’s price than equities. Via Twitter, Bennett wrote the following and shared the chart below: "Everything for #crypto boils down to this…Does the S&P 500 fail to hold above 3,880? If so, and we get a 1h close below, this latest rally becomes a fakeout, and we likely get the next leg lower for stocks and crypto alike. Everything else is just noise. You could literally trade BTC using nothing but the S&P chart above. As of now, it looks like this level will fail."

As seen in the chart above, the S&P 500 broke below a major trendline and seems to be heading towards critical support at 3,800. Bitcoin seems to be holding its levels despite the S&P 500 price action, but Bennett ruled out the possibility of a “fakeout” due to the overall weakness in the market.

Bitcoin Levels To Watch In Case Of Further Losses

Data from Material Indicators shows liquidity on crypto exchange Binance has been constantly moving around current levels. There are over $30 million in bids orders below BTC’s price which could provide important support.

However, as seen below, asks orders to have been swelling which could prevent BTC’s price to break above $21,000 and get out of the danger zone. Analysts from Material Indicators identified the levels between $17,000 and $19,000 as the next potential area for Bitcoin.

At those levels, there are important pools of liquidity, and the price of Bitcoin tends to trend towards these levels. The analyst added: "This looks like a ladder of #BTC bids that intends to get filled. Time will tell if it gets filled where it rests or if it needs to adjust closer to the active trading range."

The Most Advanced Large Models Are Now Subject to Export Controls Like Enriched Uranium

In an unprecedented move mirroring the control of enriched uranium, the US Commerce Department has imposed an export control ban on Anthropic's advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, forcing their global shutdown. This marks the first time a purely digital entity—a set of neural network weights—has been subjected to such hardware-like strategic export restrictions, based not on physical scarcity but on its concentrated "capability density." The article draws a direct parallel to the historical control of nuclear technology, arguing that just as uranium ore becomes a controlled substance only when enriched to a critical threshold, AI capabilities become subject to regulation when compressed into a single, potent, and easily accessible interface. This "enriched AI" is seen as crossing a threshold where its aggregated power poses a potential threat. The author predicts three major consequences over the next decade. First, capability auditing will become institutionalized, with governments setting compliance checklists and thresholds for model power, triggering automatic export controls. Second, jurisdictional boundaries will blur as US export controls extend their reach globally, governing any user of American AI services regardless of location, forcing non-US entities to reconsider their AI supply chain dependencies. Third, a technological bifurcation will occur, splitting the AI landscape into a restricted, high-risk track of advanced US proprietary models and a more reliable track of open-source or locally developed alternatives, where guaranteed access may outweigh raw performance. The core crisis exposed is the lack of a legal property rights framework for AI "intelligence." While companies invest heavily in integrating these models into their production systems, legally they only purchase a service that can be revoked at any time, leaving them with no recourse for their sunk investments. The conclusion warns of a permanently fractured digital world where the most capable models may not be the most usable, and clear, unassailable ownership of technology will become paramount.

Bitcoin ETF Sees First Inflow in Three Weeks After Record $4.4 Billion Outflow Streak

US Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a record-breaking outflow streak, with a net withdrawal of $4.4 billion over 13 consecutive trading days from May 15 to June 3, more than doubling the previous record set in February 2025. This sell-off, led predominantly by BlackRock's IBIT, coincided with a Bitcoin price drop from above $80,000 to around $63,000, reducing total ETF assets under management from $104.3 billion to $82.8 billion. A potential turning point emerged on June 12, when the funds collectively recorded zero net outflows and a net inflow of $85.84 million. Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered cited this as one of three signals indicating Bitcoin may have reached a cycle bottom. While the single day's inflow is small relative to the preceding outflows, it marks a crucial shift in momentum. Analysts view the halt in sustained selling pressure as a key indicator, suggesting the recent downturn was a significant correction rather than a structural collapse for the ETF market.

Microsoft CEO's Lengthy Post: Two Types of Capital in the Future, Human Capital + Token Capital

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published a long essay titled "A frontier without an ecosystem is not stable," expressing deep concerns about the future of enterprises in the AI-driven economy. He argues that AI is fundamentally changing competition by enabling models to absorb and commodify human expertise, potentially allowing a few dominant AI systems to capture disproportionate economic value. To counter this, Nadella introduces the concepts of "Human Capital" (employee knowledge, judgment, creativity) and "Token Capital" (proprietary AI capabilities). He emphasizes that these two forms of capital must create a compounding "learning loop" within organizations, where human guidance drives AI improvement and accumulated institutional knowledge becomes a key competitive advantage. Nadella warns against a future where industries are hollowed out by a few AI models, similar to past outsourcing waves. Instead, he calls for building a diverse AI ecosystem where every company can innovate, retain control over its intellectual property, and ensure value flows broadly across the economy.

From a $300 Million Valuation to a 'Fire Sale' at Tens of Millions: What Happened to Messari?

On June 12, leading crypto data and capital markets platform Blockworks announced its acquisition of competitor Messari for over $10 million. This price represents a significant discount from Messari's 2022 valuation peak of approximately $300 million, highlighting the survival pressures faced by high-valuation startups during the bear market and a consolidation wave in data infrastructure. Blockworks, founded in 2018, began as a media and events company but has pivoted to focus on institutional-grade data, investor relations, and compliance tools. Its recent Series A extension round, valuing the company at $192 million, aimed to fund this shift and strategic acquisitions like this one. Messari, also founded in 2018, grew as a go-to platform for professional crypto research and data, raising a $35 million Series B at its $300 million valuation in late 2022. However, the prolonged bear market and subsequent internal changes, including founder Ryan Selkis's departure in 2024, increased operational pressures. The acquisition integrates Messari's extensive data platform and API capabilities with Blockworks's strengths in issuer-side disclosure, investor relations, and compliance workflows. The combined entity aims to build a unified "system of record" for the on-chain market. This reflects a broader industry trend where high-quality, structured data is becoming critical for institutional adoption, AI agents, and creating data moats akin to traditional financial platforms like Bloomberg. The deal exemplifies how market consolidation is reshaping the fragmented crypto data landscape.

If the AI Bubble Is Already Bursting, Who Will Truly Survive?

If the AI Bubble is Bursting, Who Will Remain? The debate over an AI bubble is intensifying, with figures like Ray Dalio warning of high levels and Jensen Huang seeing immense, early-stage opportunity. Both views hold truth: a speculative bubble in capital markets likely exists, mirroring the dot-com era, but the underlying technological shift is real and transformative. History shows that while bubbles burst—wiping out overvalued companies and speculative capital—they often leave behind critical physical and digital infrastructure. The dot-com bust, for instance, eliminated many firms but left the global fiber optic networks and data centers that enabled the rise of Amazon, Netflix, and cloud computing. Today's massive AI infrastructure investments (projected at trillions by 2030) in data centers, power, cooling, and GPUs may follow a similar path, creating the foundation for future applications. A key divergence from past bubbles is the "Jevons Paradox" effect in AI. As the cost of AI inference has plummeted by over 99.7% since 2023, enterprise spending on AI has skyrocketed. Cheap "tokens" have unlocked vast, previously uneconomical use cases, moving AI from simple chatbots into core business workflows—code generation, legal document review, scientific simulation, and financial analysis. The market is now in a phase of self-correction, weeding out superficial "API-wrapper" startups, but this cleansing process strengthens the ecosystem. The long-term trajectory is clear. The value is gradually shifting from capital expenditure (CapEx) on hardware to operational expenditure (OpEx) on transformative applications. As AI becomes a utility, the winners will be firms that deeply integrate it to solve vertical industry problems in law, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. The泡沫 will recede, but the foundational shift towards an AI-powered era across all sectors is irreversible. The underlying productive force of AI contains no bubble.
