Today’s Undercurrent
Anthropic’s IPO push, SpaceX’s $1.75-trillion valuation, and BTC ETFs’ 13-day losing streak—all point to one story: In 2026’s capital markets, narrative authority lies with AI—not crypto. Institutional capital is voting with its feet: compute, models, and applications form the new growth narrative—while Bitcoin loses clarity in its dual identity as both “safe haven” and “growth asset.” Meanwhile, ECB data shows gold displacing U.S. Treasuries as central banks’ preferred reserve asset—redefining traditional safe-haven logic. In this cycle, whoever tells the most compelling scarcity story captures liquidity. Right now, AI compute scarcity looks sexier than 21 million BTC.
