According to CoinDesk, despite market speculation that some retail investors may sell Bitcoin to participate in SpaceX's record-breaking $75 billion IPO, stablecoin liquidity and on-chain data show that there are currently no signs of large-scale capital withdrawal from the crypto market.This SpaceX IPO is valued at approximately $1.8 trillion, allocating up to 30% of shares to retail investors through platforms such as Robinhood, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab, significantly higher than the traditional IPO's allocation of about 10% to individual investors. After the roadshow began, subscription demand has exceeded the issuance scale.Data shows that the outflow of USDT and USDC remains within the normal range since February this year, with no abnormal redemptions or supply contractions. In contrast, on June 6, Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded net outflows of approximately 66,470 BTC and 2.49 million ETH from exchanges, indicating that more investors are transferring assets to private wallets, showing signs of buying the dip rather than concentrated cashing out.However, on-chain data cannot reflect the trading behavior of users on platforms like Robinhood and Coinbase, so whether crypto investors are selling assets to subscribe to SpaceX stock still requires waiting for relevant brokers to release subsequent data.Currently, the most significant capital outflows are coming from spot ETFs. Data shows that as of June 3, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, with total redemptions of approximately $4.4 billion; spot Ethereum ETFs have seen capital outflows for 17 consecutive trading days before returning to slight net inflows.According to the plan, SpaceX will complete pricing on June 11 and will be listed on Nasdaq under the stock code SPCX on June 12.

Affected by profit-taking from AI concept assets and a decline in market risk appetite, Bitcoin has fallen to around $62,000, a cumulative drop of nearly 16% from last week's high of over $74,000.

In addition, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded net outflows for 15 consecutive trading days, totaling over $4.7 billion, while Strategy disclosed this week that it sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022, further weakening market expectations for institutional buying.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released the "Draft Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2030" and is seeking public comments. The goals proposed in the draft include "providing a solid regulatory foundation for digital assets and distributed ledger technology through a rational, coherent, and principle-based approach."The document points out that a modernized framework will also ensure that custody, trading, and staking services can operate under appropriate regulation, avoiding duplicative or conflicting requirements, while clarifying jurisdictional issues between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. This coordination aims to ensure that the crypto market has clear, principled, regulation-based rules of the game, promoting innovation while maintaining the highest level of investor protection. Furthermore, the document suggests that the agency's responsible use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology could further enhance regulation, reduce costs, and unlock new efficiencies.

Vitalik Buterin once again proposed the concept of "synthetic stable assets," stating that the object of stability anchoring does not necessarily have to be the US dollar. He indicated that the core demand of users for stablecoins is price stability for future expenditures, but if the crypto ecosystem is built on US dollar-backed stablecoins, it is difficult to claim true decentralization.

According to CoinDesk, FalconX stated that on certain trading days, its trading volume on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid has surpassed that of Ethereum. Institutions and hedge funds are shifting from the range-bound Bitcoin and Ethereum to more volatile assets such as HYPE, Zcash, Venice, and AI concept tokens.FalconX pointed out that amid macro uncertainty and the outflow of funds from spot ETFs, the implied volatility of BTC and ETH is close to historical lows, and funds are seeking higher volatility targets. Hyperliquid attracts institutional funds looking to trade diverse assets in a 24/7 crypto-native environment by offering perpetual contracts for pre-IPO companies like SpaceX, tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets. The platform's revenue is projected to be around $800 million in 2025.

Vitalik posted on platform X, stating that building index-tracking assets based on options rather than debt is worth considering and trying, using options as the foundation of DeFi instead of CDPs and liquidation mechanisms. This design can avoid the extreme price fluctuations that cause severe and global liquidation effects, allowing exposure to the index to deviate from preferred exposure in a smoother secondary manner.Its key advantage is that it does not require instant oracles and can operate based on slow oracles, which are the types of oracles used in prediction markets. The design has a clear drawback, which is the need for regular rebalancing, and it remains to be clarified whether and how rebalancing can have sufficient slippage resistance.Vitalik added that compared to relying on oracles that must provide real-time answers and may be induced to give incorrect real-time answers without human remediation time, he believes that holding algorithmic stablecoins placed within such mechanisms is safer.

According to CoinDesk, JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and others stated that as signs of easing tensions in the Middle East emerge, investors are gradually withdrawing from the Bitcoin and gold markets. The "devaluation trade" that had driven demand for both is losing momentum.In the past two weeks, both Bitcoin and gold-related ETFs have seen significant outflows, and institutional positions in the CME futures market have also weakened simultaneously. This trend indicates that investors are retreating from the macro hedging trades that had become popular due to inflation concerns and global instability, and it is not that Bitcoin funds are shifting to gold, but rather that both asset classes are facing a simultaneous decline in demand. Since the Iran conflict, Bitcoin has been a major representation of the "devaluation trade."
