𝗚𝗠 🚨 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗟𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗔𝗣 𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗛𝗔 — 𝗖𝗥𝗬𝗣𝗧𝗢 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗔𝗟... 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗢𝗙 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. 🧵
1/ 📍 BTC CRASHED BELOW $60K. Fear & Greed hit 13 — Extreme Fear. ETF outflows extended to 6 consecutive weeks, with cumulative June redemptions hitting $5.94 billion — the longest and deepest institutional exit of 2026. The pain is real.
2/ 📍 IRAN BROKE THE CEASEFIRE. Iran's Revolutionary Guard attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, testing the durability of the peace deal signed just days earlier. BTC slipped to $59,800 on the news. The war trade is back.
3/ 📍 ETHEREUM FOUNDATION LAID OFF 20% OF ITS STAFF. The Ethereum Foundation cut roughly 54 positions as part of a major restructuring to refocus on Ethereum's long-term development. CT is split — is this a red flag or a necessary reset?
4/ 📍 CZ BLAMED AI AND GEOPOLITICS FOR CRYPTO'S 50% DROP. Binance founder CZ told CoinDesk there is no single cause for crypto's 50% decline over the past year — citing the AI capital rotation, global conflict, and the 4-year market cycle converging at once. The most honest take of the week.
5/ 📍 SOLANA HAD ITS BIGGEST TOKENIZED EQUITIES WEEK EVER. Solana-based platforms processed $1.29 billion in tokenized equity trading volume in a single week — 95% of all tokenized trading activity across all chains — fueled by the SpaceX IPO debut. The bear market in prices. The bull market in infrastructure.
6/ 📍 US CONGRESS BANNED CBDCS UNTIL 2030. The Senate passed a housing bill banning the Federal Reserve from issuing or facilitating a retail CBDC through 2030 — carving out room for private stablecoins instead. Trump then refused to sign it until the SAVE America Act passes. Drama.
7/ 📍 TRUMP ORDERED QUANTUM READINESS ACCELERATION. Trump signed an executive order accelerating quantum computing readiness across US federal systems — citing Bitcoin's vulnerability as part of the national security briefing. The quantum threat just became a White House priority.
8/ 📍 solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump PUMPED 22,764% IN ONE DAY. The ANSEM token spiked 22,764% to $0.047 after KCEX listed it with zero trading fees — $29.8M in volume in 24 hours. Meme szn is officially open. The trenches don't care about the macro.
BTC below $60K. ETH at $1,567.
Institutions exiting. Memes pumping.
This is crypto in a bear market. And somehow it's still the most interesting market on earth. 🫡

Sierra Co-Founder @btaylor predicts that within 3-4 years consumers will prefer businesses with AI phone agents over those that rely on traditional call centers.
"If I have to call a restaurant to make a reservation, I'm going to a different place. If you don't have OpenTable or Resy, I'm out."
"I think we're going to get to the point where people demand an AI because they're not going to want to wait on hold. We're not 100% there and we're just paying down the debt of bad tech that we've had for the past 10 years. But I'm hopeful that in three or four years, this will be the norm."
"The problem was we had 10 to 15 years of bots that were really bad. If you were talking to an AI more than three years ago, it sucked. Now you can talk to an AI, and it's conversational, it's multilingual, it has access to systems. The AI agents of today are like the horse and carriage versus a flying car."
From his appearance on the show earlier this month.
Huge congratulations to TradeXYZ and S&P for this historic partnership. I'm honored that these teams choose to build on Hyperliquid.
Seeing official S&P500 perpetual futures launch exclusively on Hyperliquid is a validation of everyone's past years of hard work: global access to decentralized finance, perpetual futures as 24/7 price discovery, and Hyperliquid upgrading the existing financial stack to house all of finance.
The S&P500 is synonymous with "the market," a single number that captures the essence of the largest economy in the world. Looking forward to tracking the world's most important financial gauge 24/7 on the most liquid permissionless markets.
