III. Deep Dive: U.S. Equities
1. TSMC (TSM) – Advanced Node Pricing Outlook: TSMC’s monthly 3nm output has risen to 175,000 wafers, yet still falls short of explosive AI chip demand. Supply-chain sources indicate potential price hikes of up to 15% for its most constrained advanced nodes in H2, aimed at offsetting upstream cost pressures. Google’s TPU reportedly began using Samsung’s 2nm foundry for select components—the first such move—signaling deeper supply-chain diversification to reduce overreliance on TSMC, even as Google’s core compute engines remain fabricated on TSMC’s 1.4nm node. Market View: Institutions broadly recognize TSMC’s pricing power and technological moat in advanced nodes—but caution investors to monitor capacity expansion pace, intensifying global competition, and potential geopolitical shocks to the supply chain. Investment Insight: Near-term capacity constraints may support valuation premiums; longer-term sustainability hinges on tracking AI capex cycles and multi-foundry strategies to assess growth durability.
2. Intel (INTC) – BofA Upgrades Rating: Intel shares rose >9% after Bank of America Securities upgraded its rating from “Underperform” to “Buy”, with a $135 target price. Analysts highlighted strong prospects for Intel’s server chips and underestimated potential in its external foundry business, forecasting EPS exceeding $6 by 2030—significantly higher than prior estimates. This upgrade signals renewed confidence in Intel’s long-term competitiveness across AI infrastructure and chip manufacturing. Market View: Multiple institutions view this as the onset of Intel’s valuation recovery cycle—though execution risk and cyclical industry volatility remain key concerns. Investment Insight: Offers an attractive entry point for valuation recovery; investors should prioritize monitoring execution on technology deployment and signals marking a semiconductor cycle inflection.
3. Oracle (ORCL) – Capex Concerns: Oracle shares fell >8% as quarterly capex exceeded consensus expectations, deepening investor concerns about the sustainability of profitability in its AI infrastructure business. With ~$117 billion in debt, Oracle ranks as the largest bond issuer outside financial services. While heavy investment supports cloud and AI ambitions, short-term profit pressure is pronounced. Market View: Analysts focus on return-on-capital and debt management, identifying path-to-profitability as the critical metric; several institutions maintain neutral-to-cautious stances. Investment Insight: Short-term focus should center on cost discipline and cash flow generation; long-term AI cloud positioning retains strategic value—suitable for investors with moderate risk tolerance.
4. SpaceX Developments – IPO Imminence: SpaceX aims to raise $75 billion via IPO, having already attracted over $70 billion in retail orders—including at least $5 billion from BlackRock. The IPO is entering its final stage, with retail investors expected to receive ≥20% of shares. Ark Investment analyst Brett Winton projects its orbital data center business alone could generate $300 billion in annual revenue by decade-end—complemented by Starlink and rocket technologies for a multi-engine growth narrative. Market View: Institutions remain optimistic on the long-term space economy; as industry leader, SpaceX’s IPO pricing and post-listing performance will serve as a critical barometer for the sector. Investment Insight: Monitor final IPO pricing and post-listing liquidity; related space equities may continue benefiting from catalysts—but assess valuation bubble risks carefully.
IV. Cryptocurrency Project Updates
1. Asset manager Fidelity Investments selected Uniswap as the liquidity infrastructure for its stablecoin FIDD; the FIDD liquidity pool has gone live on Uniswap.
2. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X that BlackRock filed Form 8-A for its Bitcoin premium yield ETF BITA. This step typically precedes formal launch within one week; he expects the product to begin trading next Thursday.
3. Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn posted on X that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed eliminating Rule 611 (the Order Protection Rule) and Rule 610(e) (the Lock-up/Cross-Market Restriction) of Regulation NMS. Thorn noted Rule 611 is one of the biggest barriers to tokenized stock trading in DeFi: automated market makers cannot comply, and any tokenized stock liquidity pool would continuously violate it—effectively operating as an illegal exchange. Replacing Rule 611 with a “best execution” standard applicable at the broker level creates a principles-based framework compatible with AMMs.
4. J.P. Morgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou stated that the “fiat depreciation hedge trade”—investors buying Bitcoin and gold amid geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, rising government debt, and USD diversification—is fading. Gold ETFs saw ~$20 billion outflows in the week ending June 5; Bitcoin ETF outflows have gradually increased over the past four weeks.
The depreciation hedge trade has been receding across ETFs, futures markets, and investor positions. Bitcoin’s correlation with 10-year U.S. Treasury real yields recently turned negative; gold’s correlation with the S&P 500 now resembles Bitcoin’s positive correlation with equities—indicating both have recently behaved more like risk assets. Analysts reiterate that a second-half rally requires clarity on treasury dividend policy and passage of the Clarity Act—currently assessed at <50% probability. Yet current market weakness may ultimately serve as a “bullish contrarian signal.”
5. Jack Mallers, founder of Strike and CEO of Twenty One Capital, stated that Bitcoin’s current price reflects the true state of the global liquidity crisis. He pointed out that the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index has hit a historic low—even as the S&P 500 sits at record highs—suggesting central bank intervention has distorted the equity market’s signaling function. Mallers remarked, “Bitcoin is the closest thing we have to monetary truth.”
Mallers believes nations are simultaneously financing war, AI development, and deficit spending, while individuals default on credit cards and rent—putting the world in “cash-raising mode,” selling the most liquid assets. “You sell what you can—not what you want to.” Regarding Strategy’s sale of 32 BTC, Mallers said it reflects the reality that its “never-sell” stance is no longer viable. He questioned Strategy’s perpetual-first instrument, which imposes permanent liquidity obligations—forcing trade-offs among stakeholders each time liquidity is needed.
