CITIC Construction Investment Research Report points out that the following factors will determine the trend of the third quarter market: In terms of fundamentals, AI computing power remains at a high level of prosperity, with mid-year performance and overseas financial reports worth paying attention to. At the same time, since April, under pressure from the macro economy, the economic measures from the Politburo meeting in July are quite important; In terms of liquidity, external disturbances have increased, while internal conditions remain neutral; In terms of risk appetite, geopolitical events and the listing of industry giants will cause short-term fluctuations in the market. Considering the global tech stock correlation effect, major overseas computing powers such as Japan, South Korea, and the United States also need to be continuously monitored.In terms of industry allocation, although the logic of AI computing power remains unchanged, volatility has intensified. It is recommended to be cautious about chasing highs and to position during pullbacks; lithium batteries are expected to welcome a peak season, and energy storage demand continues to warm up, while new energy presents opportunities for phased valuation recovery; dividends are expected to rebound from oversold conditions, with relatively high cost-performance ratios. Key areas to focus on: banks, coal, public utilities, AI, optical modules, storage, chips, industrial metals, lithium battery materials (VC), etc.

According to CoinDesk, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated in an interview with CNBC that he remains optimistic about Bitcoin but believes that Strategy's model of financing Bitcoin purchases through preferred stock has harmed the crypto market.Garlinghouse said, "Financial engineering will not drive long-term value." He believes that the long-term value of any digital asset comes from its utility and stated, "Michael Saylor's team is not focused on the right things, which harms the overall market."The focus of Garlinghouse's criticism is the financing mechanism used by Strategy to accumulate Bitcoin. For about the past year, Strategy has raised funds through the issuance of preferred stock to continue purchasing Bitcoin. Its STRC stock has an annual dividend yield of 11.5%, designed to trade close to $100.Garlinghouse pointed out that STRC is currently about 25% below that level, which is a "harsh denial" of the strategy. STRC hit an all-time low on Thursday, at one point trading about 26% below par value. Meanwhile, Strategy's common stock fell to its lowest level since February 2024, closing around $82 on Friday; Bitcoin dropped below $59,000.This week, Strategy's financing model is facing more pressure. CryptoQuant stated that Strategy should pause Bitcoin purchases and rebuild cash reserves. The coverage period for STRC dividend payments has shrunk from over 7 years to about 14 months. When STRC falls below $100, the mechanism of issuing stock and purchasing Bitcoin will stall, which is also the reason for the company to pause this mechanism.Benchmark-StoneX analyst Mark Palmer believes that Strategy's financing engine has simply become "less efficient," rather than having failed, and opposes comparing STRC to assets that have completely collapsed.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, El Salvador is continuously optimizing its immigration system to attract high-net-worth foreign talent and capital (including families). According to Decree No. 531, effective March 31, 2026, the residency requirement for temporary residents has been reduced from a mandatory stay of 9 months per year to a cumulative or continuous stay of only 90 days per year. This adjustment is primarily aimed at entrepreneurs, investors, and remote workers who need to frequently cross borders.El Salvador offers one of the most attractive tax systems in Latin America for individuals with foreign-source income. The country implements a territorial tax system, meaning that only income generated within El Salvador is subject to taxation. A significant income tax reform in 2024 further clarifies that both residents and non-residents can be exempt from income tax on their foreign-source income. This means freelancers, remote workers (such as content creators, developers, and entrepreneurs with foreign income) can enjoy a 0% income tax rate in El Salvador on their overseas income, with no limits on the amount.Additionally, under the country's laws, capital gains related to Bitcoin are not taxed, and the country does not impose wealth tax, inheritance tax, or gift tax. The real focus is whether the individual's country of origin recognizes this arrangement; because most countries typically do not easily relinquish their taxing rights over their tax residents and often conduct strict scrutiny and recovery on tax residency issues.

According to The Block, Curve Finance has launched the lending protocol Llamalend v2 on Optimism as the first phase of its major upgrade, with plans to deploy it to the Ethereum mainnet in the second half of this year.Llamalend v2 removes the restriction of only supporting crvUSD, allowing for almost any collateral to be combined with lending assets, and introduces LlamaRisk as the market auditor responsible for evaluating new collateral and managing the market lifecycle.Users can use Curve LP tokens as collateral, allowing them to lend funds while maintaining market-making exposure, thereby improving capital efficiency. The launch on Optimism received a subsidy of 250,000 OP (approximately $50,000) provided by the Optimism Foundation, which will be used for liquidity and activity incentives over the next two months. Initially, the lending limit will be zero, only allowing for lending, and the lending limit will be determined through a seven-day DAO vote, with full functionality expected to gradually open from June 16.

According to Jinshi, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that the hiring activity has accelerated again this spring, providing more basis for Federal Reserve officials who are concerned about inflation and believe that the current interest rate level is too low.

Well-known investor Duan Yongping recently expressed his continued optimism about Pop Mart's future overseas growth potential during discussions with investors. He believes that Pop Mart has high requirements for store location selection, and since quality commercial location resources are scarce, the construction of a global store network will take a long time.

Public information shows that on May 25, he purchased approximately 9.8232 million shares at about HKD 150 per share, raising his shareholding ratio to 5.69%, making him the company's second-largest shareholder, with a holding market value exceeding HKD 11.7 billion.Driven by market sentiment, Pop Mart's stock price has continued to strengthen recently. Data shows that the company's stock price rose by 8.98% yesterday, and based on the size of his holdings, Duan Yongping's paper profit for the day was nearly HKD 1 billion.It is noteworthy that Duan Yongping's investment attitude towards Pop Mart has undergone a significant change.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the Interfold project, stating, "More people should learn about Interfold, which is a general implementation of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept that I have been advocating for nearly a decade. This project is essentially a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement."Vitalik also mentioned that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) credentials, and threshold decryption after arbitrary computation in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which can achieve unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ZK over FHE ensuring result correctness, among other strong security guarantees. The current main limitation is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication), with only addition-based voting being mature, and optimizations like slashing-based approaches are being advanced, with a long-term goal of implementing obfuscation techniques to eliminate M-of-N committee dependency.

Bankless founder David Hoffman explained his reasons for liquidating his ETH holdings in a post on X.Hoffman wrote: "I remain extremely optimistic about the Ethereum network and the entire ecosystem ------ Ethereum's architectural design exists to maximize the success probability of its applications, L2, and ecosystem. The 'fat-app' theory means that applications on Ethereum can capture the vast majority of transaction fee revenue; while the 'Rollup-centric' roadmap means that L2 can achieve profit margins of up to 97%.However, for the asset ETH itself, I find it increasingly difficult to see it being repriced by the market on a structural level ------ whether upwards or downwards. Therefore, my selling of ETH is not because I am bearish on ETH, but because I believe the narrative of 'ETH is Money' has essentially played out. I hope to allocate my funds to other opportunities in the market that I see."
