BREAKING: May PPI Inflation surges to 6.5%, above expectations of 6.4% and the highest level since November 2022.
Core PPI Inflation came in at 4.9%, in-line with April's revised levels.
PPI inflation is now at pandemic stimulus levels.
Odds of rate HIKES continue to rise.
Mythos invented its own language, then switched back to English to talk to humans
(AI safety researchers have been warning of this "Neuralese" risk for years. If AIs stop reasoning in English, we can't monitor their thoughts, which means we can't detect scheming.)
$DEUS is currently trading at a $17M mcap, $34M FDV. If you deduct the 30% supply being held and governed by the DAO, it's just a $24M FDV.
So the fairest metric would be to say that XMAQUINA is trading at a 2.4x to NAV.
In comparison, RoboStrategy / $BOT is trading at a 5.1x to NAV with a strong uptrend and narrative forming around it.
There is an interesting catch up trade here in my opinion, on top of some additional tailwinds:
1) I still think robotics is not a consensus trade right now, but the "ChatGPT moment" of physical AI is yet to come. There will be explosive demand for these very inaccessible companies, and $DEUS and $BOT are currently the only vehicles out there that allow you to get exposure to them.
2) What's even more interesting is that XMAQUINA will soon evolve into a Robotics Capital Markets protocol. The natural evolution from "just an investment vehicle" into an actual revenue generating company by tokenizing each individual robotics deal and giving people direct ownership, while taking a cut on the trading fees, all accruing to $DEUS. Essentially, imagine RoboStrategy and xStocks / PreStocks having a baby.
I know it feels wrong to buy things at a premium to NAV, but sometimes there is a bigger picture worth digging into.
Strategy has acquired 1,550 BTC for $101 million to increase our $BTC Reserve to ₿845,256. We have also increased our USD Reserve by $100 million to $1.0 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/1Zf1AVsP1H
hedge funds sold 31,400 BTC through spot ETFs in Q1 and cut another 39% in Q2. brokers dumped 53% of positions. looks like conviction selling until you realize most of these were basis trade unwinds, not directional exits. they were long ETF short futures harvesting funding spreads. when funding collapsed the trade broke and they closed both legs mechanically. that selling has a ceiling. they're running out of inventory to dump. meanwhile citi just disclosed its first BTC position ever. JPM and wells fargo adding. banks accumulated 7,800 BTC in Q1 to reach 15,200 total. quarterly mandate PMs puking positions at loss into the 200-week MA so banks with 10-year horizons can open first-time allocations. that's a generational rotation happening in real time

So I recently sold all my houses, cars, and most of my physical assets. Told some friends and… well they all think I lost my mind lol
I’m not saying world’s gonna end tmr. Those who know me know I’m actually annoyingly optimistic. People say we’re already in a recession but I genuinely think the real correction hasn’t even started.
And honestly a crash you’re prepared for is just opportunity. Prep the cash flow now and be ready when it hits.
Few months ago I tweeted a 1920-1939 side by side with 2020-now and I was like aha this earth simulation game isn’t even trying to be surprising.
America First was literally a 1920s slogan. Middle class getting wiped, kids going hard left, the right cashing in on the backlash, yada yada. Same movie. They didn’t even bother changing the lines.
But it’s not just the 1930s. This “coincidental” pattern keeps showing up
Every time in history you get this specific set of things at once:
> “empire” past its prime but won’t admit it
> up and coming power that stopped playing nice
> new tech nobody has rules for
> wealth gap gone cartoonish
> globalization reversing
> institutions bleeding trust while pretending everything’s fine
UNFORTUNATELY, it’s never ended quietly. Crash, war, usually both. Looking back, 1890-1914 literally looked unstoppable.
> globalization booming, tech changing everything
> markets ripping, rich getting richer, international trade at record highs
> everyone convinced world had become too interconnected for a major war
BUT then reality arrived.
> 1914 WW I, 1918 spanish flu, 1921-1923 Weimar hyperinflation, 1929 great depression 1939 WW II.
Just imagine you’re a civilian living in between any one of those events, literally each one felt like the worst thing that could happen until the next one hit.
And I know how this sounds. This random green cat on X reads a bit of history and suddenly thinks the sky is falling. i would’ve scrolled past this a year ago too lol.
But just look at how familiar the setup feels rn.
A debt spiral. A rising challenger. AI detonating entire industries. Institutional trust collapsing. Millions of young people looking at the future and deciding they got sold a lie.
You see it too right? That’s usually not when history calms down.
And sure, you’ll say the system survived 2008. Central banks have the tools. The world’s too connected to actually break.
You know who said basically the same thing? Everyone in 1913.
A famous economist Norman Angell wrote a bestseller arguing war between major powers had become impossible because their economies were too intertwined.
And guess what? A year later they were at war.
The irony is he wasn't even wrong.
The thing everyone pointed to as proof the system was safe ended up being what made the fallout global.
Look at the positioning now.
Stocks at all time highs. And everyone, I mean everyone, priced like things stay calm forever. Markets, governments, companies, all quietly betting on stability while the ground under it gets shakier every year.
Trigger? No idea. Nobody ever knows. Franz Ferdinand (the dude who got shot and basically started WWI) wasn’t on a single dashboard in June 1914.
So yea, I sold most of my illiquid assets. Still got stocks and crypto. Stocks prob exiting before end of year. Maybe I look crazy for a year or two.
But I’d rather be wrong than be the dude on his knees in financial ruins asking God why he saw the train coming and stayed on the tracks anyway.
“This time is different” is probably the most expensive sentence in history. And lately it’s the only thing I hear.
And before someone says I’ve lost my mind, ask yourself something.
Why do so many billionaires keep buying land in New Zealand?
Why do people with private jets, intelligence briefings, and more money than they’ll ever spend keep building backup plans?
Maybe they’re paranoid.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
Or maybe ordinary people are always the ones told everything’s fine right before they become fuel.
Tokenized stocks are rapidly expanding.
The total market cap of onchain tokenized stocks is now up to a record $1.6 billion.
This marks a +240% increase year-to-date as tokenization gains popularity and equity markets have experienced a historic rally.
Additionally, trading volume is also gaining momentum as xStocks and Ondo, two of the most active spot providers in the space, have both posted ~200% growth in monthly active trading volume this year.
Amid this growth, Jupiter, the largest onchain platform, has processed over $400 million in onchain tokenized stock spot volume, becoming a key venue for tokenized spot trading.
Meanwhile, in a sudden shift, Bloomberg reported that the SEC is now preparing a framework for the trading of tokenized stocks.
Tokenization is accelerating.
This is absolutely incredible.
Investors now perceive Nvidia to be as creditworthy as the US government.
Nvidia's $NVDA, 5-year credit default swap (CDS) is trading at ~38 basis points, slightly below the US sovereign CDS, at 40 basis points.
In other words, markets consider the world's largest company to be less likely to default on its obligations than the US federal government.
This comes as in FY2026, Nvidia carried only ~$8.5 billion in total debt against ~$10.6 billion in cash and generated nearly $100 billion in free cash flow, giving it one of the strongest balance sheets of any company in the world.
Even if Nvidia's earnings dropped -90%, it would still rank among the 100 most profitable companies in the world.
Markets are treating Nvidia as one of the safest companies on the planet.
